[The video comes on to Scorpia holding a cute yellow Stufful in her arms. In the background are four normal colored Bewears, and a bed piled high with Pokemon eggs. In fact the floor around the bed is piled high too. Scorpia is so happy she's almost glowing.]

Yesterday was really wild, huh? Those Snorunts were super cute! I made a new friend and somebody wants to make dresses for me! I can't wait to see them; they're going to be so adorable I just know it--

[Scorpia blushes a little and hugs the Stufful closer, getting hugged in return.]

Funshine here gives great hugs already! And I guess my Bewears got all excited about the new baby, because they had eggs! I was going to post about them yesterday but I got a little distracted. Anyway, they'll hatch into Stufful like this, but probably pink, and they'll evolve into Bewear, the Hugging Pokemon! Bewear have the strongest arms, so they give the best hugs! Right guys?

[And that's when Scorpia gets hugged by not one, not two, not even three, but four full grown Bewears. She hugs them back, laughing with delight! And somehow manages to twirl around, lifting the Bewears off the ground for a full second. There's a Stufful version of a "wheeeee!!!" from the center of the epic bear hug too.]

So, uh, does anybody want an egg? Stufful are Fighting types, and so's little Lonnie here! And then my Miltank, Gogoat and Ribombee all decided to have eggs too, so I have so many right now!

[The camera briefly shifts to show a Hawlucha, who waves briefly, and then pans to said Miltank, Gogoat and Ribombee, each proudly showing off their own pile of eggs.]

You don't have to give me anything in return, especially all my friends! I just want them to go to good homes, you know?

((OOC: so that's 8 way overpowered Stufful, 1 Cutiefly, 2 Skiddo, 4 Hawlucha, 1 Miltank, and then 1 Swirlix and 1 Phanpy that Scorpia isn't ICly aware of currently up for grabs. I'll try to keep the lists updated as they get claimed!))

Catra! You should have one of the Huggles' eggs so you can get hugs when we're not in the same place!

[Scorpia actually seems to consider the offer after that though.]

I mean, if they want to be with me, I'll take care of any Stufful or Bewear! Are there other kinds of bear... Probably, but I haven't seen any!

[Catra winces a little at the thought of literal bear hugs. She can almost hear her ribs cracking.]

Uh...I'm good.

And I'm pretty sure there are ice bears. And Teddiursa.

[Scorpia looks a little disappointed.] If you want any of the eggs, you can have as many as you want! Oh! Do you have a Miltank yet? Their milk is delicious!

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about Teddiursa. I must not have been near where any are though. The only bears I've seen are Stuffuls. An ice bear would be so cute! But what if little Frosta got jealous of not being the only ice-type on my team?

Not yet. I've been meaning to catch one, though - have you beat the Gym in Goldenrod yet?

[She actually seems to consider the dilemma of Frosta-the-Pokemon for a moment.]

You could tell Frosta it's backup? So she doesn't have to bother with challenges that are way below her skill level.

Not yet! I got kinda busy last month. I think with Emily and the Huggles I should be able to take her, though.

[Scorpia grins.]

That's a great idea! I'd need to find an ice bear first but I'm sure little Frosta will understand. Having more friends for backup is always great!

Let me know when you're planning to fight. I want to watch.

[Bear pack vs. Plains gym should be hilarious.

Also she might want to give her friend some moral support. Shh, don't tell anyone.]

Definitely! Maybe sometime in the next week or so? Since I'm in Goldenrod most of the time, no reason to hold off.

[Scorpia, meanwhile, is delighted that Catra will come for moral support.]

No reason at all.

I'll stick around the city on courier runs this week.

Maybe I'll warp over to Azalea and do the bug guy too. I think my team could probably take him! I've got little Lonnie, and Emily and little Rogelio each know a fire move! Little Bow is probably not quite strong enough for gyms yet.

He's good practice.

Get some more fire moves if you're going to keep going. Or fire types. Fire's great for extra damage if you can't use poison.

Yeah! Little Bow is good at getting things nice and burned! Just Emily is higher level and Toxic always poisons! If the Pokemon isn't Poison-type, anyway. Poison types are pretty recognizable though.

[Scorpia will be finding out at Bugsy's gym that that 'always' isn't the case. Darn steel-types!)

It's the bright colours, isn't it?

Yeah, a lot of them do have bright colors! Or purple, even if they don't have a bright purple. Also, spines and pointy bits!

Garnet is probably my spiniest pokemon...

Garnet, huh?

[A spiny Pokemon that's probably poison that Catra named Garnet...]

Oh, do you have a Skorupi too? Or a Drapion, I guess, if they evolved already.

[Her cheeks colour slightly.

There's a lot of things she hates about not having fur, but the fact that it's visible is definitely one of them.]

Drapion. She evolved a couple months ago. She joined up a few weeks after I first got here.

Aren't Drapion great? I love Emily so much and poison is so useful in battles too!
