It was for a good cause, but it seems a little disappointing we missed out on another Halloween this year. But, I think I've found a way to make up for it.
[The camera moves and soon is aimed at a nice little beach. Despite it being November, it is plenty sunny. The advantage of living on the Sevii Islands. There are... a lot of pumpkins on the beach. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head. There might very well be as many as four times ten pumpkins! There are also some pokemon. A large Incineroar darts across the sand on all fours, batting at a pumpkin like a kitten would at a ball of yarn. A wizard-hat wearing Psyduck seems to be drawing faces on one of the pumpkins, before showing them off to a towering Golduck.
But mostly. There are Lapras. A lot of Lapras. Several large adults (six for who is counting) and... geez, how many babies is that even? Many of them are wearing different coloured ribbons around the necks. Someone with a good eye can count up to nine ribbon wearing babies and four slightly bigger youngsters without ribbons. And they are all going absolutely crazy over the pumpkins, thrilling cries carrying over the water. Most of the babies have very clearly never seen pumpkins and are examining them curiously. One seems to be trying to stack two of the pumpkins on her shell, but every time she tries to put the second one on her back, the first one rolls off again. A few are using them as balls, batting them around with their flippers. One of the adults has a few babies gathered around her as she uses a few well-timed water guns to juggle a few of the pumpkins in the air. One of the babies has managed to crack open one of the pumpkins and he is pigging out, his round little snout covered with pumpkin guts.
Like what you see? Don't worry. Armin has no problem with leaving the camera rolling and recording more of these antics. Though, he does have one more question.]
Ah, I usually don't do this sort of thing, but with everything going on, I didn't have a chance to pick any yet so... does anyone have any good name suggestions? I've got a lot of babies that still need to be named.

Have you gotten many names yet?
Video
[Even if he ends up using other names for these nine, he's sure to breed more Lapras in the future. And they too will need names.]
Video
Leviathan? ...I'm not the best at names.
Video
[He should've known better than to ask Pandorans for name suggestions.]
Video
[Yeah, probably not the best plan.]
Shade? That guy was weird but never tried to kill us.
Video
I'll... keep it in mind, but I was mostly looking for cute names, I guess.
I'd name one after Angel, but I already named my boat that. It might get confusing.
Video
Most of my names tend to either be names of people, creatures or things I've heard of. Or concepts.
[She has a pokemon named Knowledge.]
That's a nice thought. If you wanted to name one for Angel instead. Maybe...Freedom? Again, a concept so feel free to pass.

Nothing tried to attack them while this whole thing was going on, did they?
Video
Which, honestly, has helped ease tensions in the pod a lot. It's easier to enjoy all these babies when there aren't unknown creatures close by, with who knows what sort of motives.
Video
And we found out why they were here. Looking for something and then staying in the place where it was found is a great deal more promising then if they'd continue to attack after all that.

[Ford knows a lot about portals. And making huge mistakes with portals.]
Video
Video
[He also committed portal sins, but while Armin knows a bit about that, it also feels too personal to tell her.]
Video
Do you think he'll look into this then?
Video
[And, you know, delivering the most ferocious, unrestraint peer feedback.]
Video
[Note, she has never met Mr. Pines. She has no idea how out of their hands he would make it.]
