33rd Recipe [Video, Goldenrod City]

So you know those Christmas eggs that have these new and interesting Pokemon hatching from them?

[Jane is holding her 'gear out in front of her, sitting on the couch in her house, a gentle arm around an unusual creature that, if you came around her house during the 4th Wall, you might vaguely recognize through the hazy memories such events leave behind. The Pokemon has her hands in her lap, and peers up at the 'gear with a measure of sincere shyness.]

Well, this is Deva, and she hatched close to about a month ago! The Pokedex says she's an Indeedee, and outside of typing, she actually really resembles an Audino! Like...a lot. Dinah, would you come over so the folks at home can see?

[Almost begrudingly, the well-known partner to Jane, Dinah the Audino, shuffles into view. Her arms are folded in front of her and she looks grumpily at this new Pokemon sitting so easily next to her girl. And...yeah, dang, there's just something really similar about them, even despite the obvious cosmetic differences. Maybe it's the shape of the head with the ears/horns.]

The Pokedex says Deva should be good at babysitting, while Dinah's proven herself to be an excellent healer, so they're both in caregiver roles, which I find rather fascinating. Do you think this is one of those cases of...well, not Pokemon world evolution, but a sort of...[She tsks and taps her chin.] It's not like the regional form thing, but moreso...perhaps two brances that split from a common ancestor, something like that? I suppose you'd lump it in with Chansey and whatnot-

[As Jane is expositing about Darwinism, Dinah leans close to Deva, her mouth in a pouting frown. Deva looks at her as she inches closer, eyes growing quite wide, and she scoots back, back into Jane. The closer Dinah gets, the more Deva's expression changes from nervous and sweetly shy to very much Bothered, until they're about a hair's breadth apart...]

Dee!

[wHAP

Deva smacks Dinah right on the snoot, making her tumble back - there's an incredible level disparity between them, sure, but Dinah didn't expect to take a hit.]

Aud...!

[And now Dinah dives forward, barreling into Deva and Jane alike, and Poke'gear goes tumbling to the ground.]

What the - girls! Girls, cut it out, the both of you! Stop it!!

[Jane's foot kicks the 'gear and it turns off, but not without revealing a snapshot of her trying to forcibly seperate two Pokemon who, it turns out, are both incredibly posessive of their human trainer. Uh. Well. This is...going to be interesting???]

[Oh boy, for any of the familiar, that is absolutely the background that indicates someone's on a boat. Or a ferry, in this case. But it's moving around for a moment before it's focusing on the face of a very not amused Jolyne. She's bundled up in what can be called a parka and a hat and she's huffing while she crouches down to get the tiny sewaddle also in view.]

You know, just when I thought my life couldn't get any weirder, all of this happens. Someone calling themselves my mom saying I gotta get going and this little creature here gnawing on my pants.

Also it's cold and I absolutely hate this, I'm not built for this garbage. [Says the woman bundled up in layers of clothing with a sewaddle that's doing much the same.]
