4th Meal

[keep_surviving]

[Diana turns the camera on, looking bedraggled and peeved off.]

So, after whatever the hell that was this weekend, I really wanted to just sleep for like, a whole day. But this is what I woke up to in my face this morning.

[She turns the camera to show off the grinning face of a Lycanroc.]

What the hell, Ingno? Why do you look like that?

[The Lycanroc grins wider, letting its tongue loll out of its mouth.]

Lana didn't turn into something this creepy. I nearly punched you in the nose!

[The wolf-like creature doesn't seem to care, it shakes its head and runs over to sit beside another Lycanroc (Midday Form). Diana sighs off screen.]

Great, because it already didn't take me- [Pause. There's four, large, round shadows near the dogs feet.]

Lana... What the hell are those?

[[ooc; Siondreamsofahero Walter 11121_assumption and Jinxbadluckbabe you will all be receiving Rockruff eggs! They've even got the bonus egg move Taunt!]]

[Note to Sion]
Thanks for helping me out this weekend. You probably don't remember but also you gave me an egg when I first got here, so now I'm giving you one back.

[Note to Walter]
Hey Walt, Charlie hatched, he's real cute. My guys had some eggs too, so I guess this is my thanks for letting me have him.

[Note to Jinx]
[Okay, so Jinx doesn't actually get a note. Diana just drops an egg onto her stomach to wake her up.]

Woah. So you've been at this for awhile?

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Well, raising pokemon, certainly, but running a gym is rather new.

Re: Video

[keep_surviving]

How'd you get that job?

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

If you battle and defeat all sixteen gym leaders, you can challenge the Elite Four and Champion at Indigo Plateau. Should you succeed at defeating them, you'll be allowed to apply to become a gym leader, by submitting your gym proposal to the league for approval.

Yeh, that sounds like so much work.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

I suppose, but if someone's planning on trying for the badges anyway, it isn't that much more work, really.

Re: Video

[keep_surviving]

Yeh, I've been kind of skipping the whole badge thing.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Not much of the competitive sort? Ryner's rather like that, really...

Video

[keep_surviving]

I guess I just don't really see the point.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

*that just gets a nod from Sion*

For trainers, aside from bragging rights, it's necessary to win the badges in order to be able to utilize moves like Fly. Plus, the various shops give discounts depending on how many badges you have. For breeders, however, neither of those two things apply, so there's certainly not as much incentive to try.

*... yeah, he'll probably just assume she's classed as a breeder rather than a trainer if given no reason to suspect otherwise*

[keep_surviving]

Discounts? Huh, that does sound pretty useful.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

It is. Especially if you have all sixteen badges.

*which is why Sion generally does most the shopping*

Video

[keep_surviving]

... Maybe I will look into this gym thing.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? Getting all sixteen does take some time and effort, though...

Video

[keep_surviving]

I mean, I probably won't get that many. Just enough.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

And how will you know what's "enough"?

Video

[keep_surviving]

When I'm saving at least 25% on all the food I buy each month.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

Well, you may have to put some time and effort into it, in that case.

Re: Video

[keep_surviving]

I can plan for the long game.

Re: Video

[dreamsofahero]

I'll look forward to seeing how you do, then.
