[The video clicks on to show a rather lovely scene. A fire place lit and flickering gently, illuminating a small but quaint Christmas tree off to the side. It's been decorated with some clearly home-made ornaments as well as odds and ends that Pokemon most likely found. Underneath the tree, instead of the presents one might expect, are bundles of eggs.

All of them have been grouped together and wrapped with scarves to keep them warm and several Pokemon are tending to them. Roxy the Lycanroc is laying beside some while Gertie the Trubbish fusses over others.

Proud mothers they are.]

I woke up this morning to a bit of an early Christmas gift from my friends here.

[Newt's behind the camera for once and sounds quite fond of all of this.

Not that he needs anymore Pokemon.]

I've discussed it with all of them and they'd like to try and find homes for as many as possible. My companions have been able to assure me what most of them are going to be--hold on a moment, I do have a list--

[After a second of fumbling with the 'gear Newt manages to get the list posted.]

There we are!

[The 'gear is flipped around now to focus on Newt and he's smiling happily as Niffler the Sableye sits on his shoulder eating a chunk of coal? Yep. That...don't ask okay.]

If anyone has interest in taking some of them home, please let us know and we can arrange for them to be delivered as soon as possible.

[Hmmmmmm... that Lycanroc is tempting, but Jean knows getting one would just remind him of the other him, so he'll pass. After looking at the list Newt posts, there's something that catches his eye.]

Hi, Newt.

[None of this Mr. Newt nonsense that Armin does.]

Do you have any Klefki eggs left?

Hello Jean!

[Like Newt minds. Honestly Armin calling him "Mr. Newt" flusters him quite a bit.]

I do indeed. Would you be interested in one?

Yes, please. I don't have any fairy types yet.

[A pause, considering.]

Or dragons either... not pure dragons, at least.

[He can't help but chuckle.]

Drampas are a rather excellent type for a first time dragon. They are very gentle creatures but very strong if you're looking for one to help you through gyms.

They're the ones that look like old men, right?

[They look pretty friendly.]

Yeah, can I get one of those too? And possibly a good wizard-y name for it?

[Otherwise, Jean is going to name it something stupid. Please save this poor Drampa, Newt.]

Yes, that's right.

[A very apt description/]

Of course! And a wizard-y name...

[Let's see what he can do to save this poor Drampa.]

Artemisia Lufkin comes to mind should it be a girl. She was the first witch to become Minister for Magic where I come from. And for a boy perhaps Gulliver Pokeby?

Lufkin and Gulliver...

[Yes, Jean likes both of those names, and he smiles sunnily at Newt.]

Those'll work. Thanks!

[It's going to be a girl Drampa, and Jean is going to name her Grandmaw Lufkin. So... good job, Newt? You almost saved her?]

[The smile is returned--if only he knew what he'd just done.]

It's my pleasure, Jean. I'll get them sent along shortly with Salazar.

Thanks, I'll make sure to feed him before he heads back.

[Ivy appears, all wrapped up and snuggly. She's smiling at you like always.]

Well, isn't that sweet of them.

[A fond look touches Newt's face as he smiles warmly at Ivy.]

I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the idea of having new little ones around for Christmas.

It is a very warming thought.

[She continues to smile at him for a moment before her eyes flicker to his surroundings and the curve of her lips straighten.]

I see you have a Christmas tree. Did you cut it down yourself?

Hm? Oh, no, it's actually fake. We came across one while we were doing some shopping in Azalea.

[He glances over at it, smiling.]

No real trees were harmed, I promise, Pamela.

[Ivy quickly returns to smiling at him.]

Of course it is, daffodil.

[She winks.]

I should have known better than to think my Newt would let me down.

[Newt blushes softly.]

The last thing I would want to do is upset you or any of my companions, for that matter.

You really are a sweetheart.

I do miss seeing that handsome face in person. Would you be opposed to a visit before Christmas?

You are far too kind as usual, Pamela.

Of course not! You are always welcome here.

Only to those I like, petal.

Wonderful. I do adore your little cottage.

Yes, well, I'm..I'm very glad to hear that. Queenie will be pleased to hear that you're visiting and will no doubt make sure everything looks impeccable for your arrival.

Of course she will. I do adore that girl, such a darling. Hazel is just like her.

I'm not sure what I'd do without Queenie, to be honest.

And you're going to have quite a good helper with her around then.

Have a little more faith in yourself, my petal.

She's already following me around when I'm cultivating.

[He blushes softly at the 'my petal' bit.]

I have no doubts she'll pick up on everything very quickly.

[But you are her cute little petal when you keep blushing like that! She smiles at him.]

I'm sure she'll be more than happy to show Queenie everything she's learned so far.

I have no doubts. The triplets will be quite pleased to see their sister as well. They ask about her quite a bit.

Well, tell them she'll definitely be coming along with me for the visit.

[A small wink.] I'll see you soon, love.
