Who: Bakugou and Kirishima
What: there's a surprise waiting for Bakugou and his Pokémon can't wait
When: Eh aboutish nowish?
Where: around Goldenrod

[ Shopping. That's where it's at. Since they're buckled down in Goldenrod during the winter months, both Bakugou and Kirishima have been able to save back. They're both working jobs and that means they can actually afford better meals and an actual place to stay. That's what they're out and about for at the moment. Honestly, Katsuki can take care of this by himself and would really prefer to. Why, you ask?

Because the redhead gets stupidly distracted. Here they are in the department store and the idiot has run off. Unsurprisingly, it's by the TMs. Okay, the blonde can understand the interest in them. It would be nice to be able to teach their Pokémon different kinds of moves. The problem is they're pretty expensive over all? Katsuki knows they can afford one or two, but it's probably hard for someone as overeager as Kirishima to be reasonable. ]

Oi. What happened to "let me help you pick out meat" huh?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ It might take a couple of seconds but he gets it. He gets it and makes a face at Kirishima. Dude. Dude that's gross. ]

God I really hate you sometimes.

[ Katsuki is going to get to enjoy things in a moment. Because there are other Pokémon barreling into the store. Their Pokémon. ]

[ Sometimes he hates him too, bro. Kirishima's too busy blushing over the mystery meat - because supposedly it isn't Pokemon - and shuffling through the various cuts to initially realize some beef that already belongs to him just came charging into the the store. The sliding glass doors ding apart cheerfully, giving way to a charging Machoke carrying a pair of rotund bovine babies under either arm. Paying no heed to the startled shout of a woman who was just about to head out of the aforementioned doors ( he missed her ), he turns and gives a triumphant snort to the trailing Pokemon. First!

But then there's no hesitation in running right towards the meat and produce portion of the store - he knows his trainer! It's the lowing of the nubby-horned Tauros that shocks Kirishima into looking around after practically flinging the pack of meat he'd been handling back into the trough. ]

WHA--!! MACHOKE?!

[ He'd left the guy on babysitting duty, so seeing him turn up with the calfs in tow is alarming to say the least. ]

[ Look, Bakugou doesn't really question what the meat is. He doesn't even want to know. Though the blonde doesn't get the chance to look over the cuts too much. Machoke comes charging in with other beasts tucked under his arms and pretty much knocking Kirishima over in the process. That's really nothing new... ]

The fuck is...

[ But then there's the familiar screeching sound of Typh against tile trying to stop herself before coming into contact. Katsuki looks up and sees her sliding across the floor... She stops right before bumping into the blonde. The Vulpix just comes trotting up like the prissy little thing she is. ]

What's goin' on? Momo, you okay?

[ Kirishima doesn't even flinch about nearly being run into, naturally. His concern has him right to checking over his baby Miltank, who's been quiet and thus concerning in his books. But Mochi just flaps her ears and reaches her hooves out when he touches them, expecting to be transferred. That's when Typh skids in. ]

Guys! What the heck is happening! Is it the apartment?

That's what I want to know. What the fuck is going on?

[ Typh stands upright and looks around. How can she explain... An idea occurs to her and well... There she goes scooping Katsuki off to the egg section! ]

[ ...Well, manhandling trainers is nothing new in this group, so Kirishima doesn't get any more concerned when Typh begins hauling Katsuki off. He takes another glance over his Pokemon - this time to Bulgogi, who snorts a hint of flame at his hands - before he runs after the other pair. ]

Wait, you guys didn't just leave to help us shop, did you?

[ It seems more urgent than that and yet Typh's not trying to get out of the door? ]

[ None of their teammates are particularly clever, huh? Well Persian actually is, but she's rather calm and watches things happen.

Regardless Typh sets down Katsuki by the eggs and points to them. She tries to mimic a breaking motion, but it doesn't really work. ]

You want us to what? Get eggs? But what -

[ But then she does some funny shrinking motion then jumping out. ]

The hell...

[ After another few seconds it dawns on him. ]

Are you saying something's wrong with the egg?

[ Kirishima watches Typh's charades before looking to Machoke for clarity. The fighting Pokemon gives a couple shrugs to indicate his charges. With those things combined up with 'something wrong with the egg', the redhead gets the horrible image of some sort of rough play damaging the egg he'd given Bakugou. ]

We gotta go!

[ The redhead doesn't even stop to think it through any further, whipping around and narrowly missing a display piece on the way to trying to careen out of the store. ]

[ For real? Kirishima's just going to run out of the store? Like at a sprint? Honestly Katsuki isn't going to go that far. Running at top speed out of the building isn't really in him. ]

Oi! Watch where you're going!

[ Because he really will bump into people like that. However the pace is not good enough for Typh. She once more scoops Bakugou up and starts to run after Kirishima. ]

[ ...Is Kirishima not the most dramatic person Bakugou knows? At least in this world?

Machoke gives a similar shout of protest after his trainer despite the pure hypocrisy of it, becoming the caboose in the procession out of the door. Outside, the redhead lets out a scream as he gets through the doors only to be plucked up by what looks like a red pair of hands from above the doorframe, dangling by the hood of his hoodie and showing most of his torso to the world and the winter air as a consequence. He stills as a girlish giggle pierces in. ]

You jerk! You're here too?!

[ He may or may not be getting dropped onto Typh/Bakugou as they make it through the door. Jack the Noivern hangs face-down along the building's facade, though she nimbly makes a leap into the street now she's successfully spooked one of her two possible targets. ]

[ Katsuki isn't really paying attention to what Kirishima's doing. Neither is Typh until she suddenly has additional weight dropped on top of her. Good thing she is a sturdy beast and she turns off her flames so Eijiro can just hang on by her neck. ]

The hell?

[ He squirms so he can see just what happened. There's Kirishima and - oh. Both Noiverns fly overhead and Bakugou can figure out what happened there. ]

Is this just one giant group effort or what? How fucking critical is this?

[ Not that he's going to get a response. The group just sort of barges into the rented house. ]

[ Under normal circumstances, Kirishima would be enjoying Typh's Wild Ride, but the presence of several of their pokemon working in a concerted effort to come fetch them has him pretty worried. It does explain how they all got here - especially with Machoke so laden down - this quickly.

When they reach the house, the tension couldn't be higher. Their barging back in startles awake the pink Ampharos that was napping on one of the sofa, though he only gives a bleat of greeting as he watches everyone charge past him to wherever it was Katsuki had his egg situated. ]

It's gonna be okay, man. [ Eijiro is reassuring ~~himself Bakugou on their way in. ]~~ Whatever's goin' on, we'll figure it out--

[ All of them working together is really something. Something alarming that is. Katsuki can't even think of what would be so important that they would need to band together and grab their trainers.

At least that's what Katsuki thinks until they're brought to the bedroom. The egg case is sitting on the bedside table, beeping in alarm. ]

Oh... Are you telling me you brought us here because the little fucker is about ready to hatch?

Holy crap, you guys, I was seriously startin' to freak out!

[ Though he's relieved and excited, he's also briefly confused by all the excitement. Surely at least Machoke and Typh have been around when one of Kirishima's compounding number of adoptees hatched? Or Bakugou's Froakie?

Oh, is this maybe the first time a lot of them have been out of their balls together outside of camp? It had taken a bit to get enough money to get out of the hotel rooms and into this space, meaning a great deal weren't witnesses to Kirishima desperately ruining a hotel bathroom to get his surprise Magikarp into some water. ]

Is this the first time some of you get to watch the egg hatch?

[ He looks around at their congregated Pokemon, smile growing into a wider grin by the moment until he's beaming expectantly at the blonde. Come to think of it, this is the first time they've been together when one of their eggs hatched. ]

Well? C'mon, Bakugou! Or are you gonna keep 'em waiting with a last-minute guess?

[ It's probably a combination of everyone finally being out of their balls and wanting to know what Bakugou is getting. Kirishima never said what the gift was for or what was inside.

So the blonde huffs as Kirishima makes a bigger deal out of it than what he would have. Katsuki just meanders over and takes the egg out of its case. ]

I ain't gonna keep them waiting. The alarm is kind of annoying. [ Bakugou snorts. ] Actually surprised that you can contain yourself.

[ He sits on the floor, putting the egg in his lap. Okay now what. ]

[ Kirishima doesn't really get why the gift has to be for anything. Bakugou's his friend and he saw an opportunity to give him something cool! At least he thought it was pretty interesting, a Pokemon with so much potential to change. What would it become under Bakugou's training?

The redhead doesn't hesitate to move over and plop right down across from his friend, crossing his legs and leaning eagerly forward with his hands against his ankles. His lower lip catches a moment between his sharp teeth in anticipation and an attempt to stay calm.

The wattage on his smile dims to something more slight as he looks between the blonde and the egg. In a truly impressive display of restraint from such an excitable teen, Kirishima murmurs lowly. ]

Try sayin' something to it? You're gonna be its trainer and all.

[ That's because Kirishima is just too good of a guy. Always looking for that silver lining. Seeing the good things instead of the bad. So naturally he doesn't think much of just getting random gifts for friends. Katsuki is the sort of guy that needs a reason for it.

He looks up at the redhead all the same. Katuski can tell how excited Kirishima is and how much the other is holding back. The blonde then glances around the room and sees all of the critters trying to find a comfortable place to be. Typh doesn't seem to care as she slips behind Katsuki and stretches out, curling around her trainer. Bakugou's used to it and leans back against her. ]

Say something to it? Like get the fuck out so you can see the world?

[ He gives a little chuckle at that. ]

Sure man, whatever works.

[ Kirishima takes a glance down at the egg before he leans in, tilting his head so that his ear is almost right up against the shell and his cherry spikes are close enough to tickle at the blonde's fingers. For a moment, he's silent, keening his senses in an attempt to hear any activity in the egg. ]

[ Kirishima gets the flattest look for that... ]

Are you really that stupid.

[ Rather, he figured he'd be scolded for saying something like that to what would be considered a "baby."

Of course the redhead is going to kind of pay for shoving his face so close to the egg. With a sudden burst, a furry paw breaks out of the shell! ...Unfortunately right against Kirishima's cheek. ]

[ Sure, he could have chastised Bakugou, but he also figures swear words are so commonplace to the guy now it's just a part of his natural vernacular more than a conscious choice. And besides that? It's not like a brand new Pokemon knows what's course in their language and what isn't - at least he doesn't think so - and it isn't like a toddler that's going to scream 'fuck' in public. Perhaps if they'd had a baby Chatot or similar creature, he'd feel differently, but...

Nope, Bakugou's not going to get scolded for his filthy mouth.

Rather, Kirishima gives a surprised and delighted gasp as that paw slaps him in the face. He doesn't even fully pull away, just looks up at the blonde excitedly with his cheek growing as red as his hair. ]

It worked!

[ Still a stage-whisper level. Truly stunning. ]

Ha...

[ Why did that work? Actually it's a little funny that a furry appendage smacked his best friend here but come on... ]

If you're gonna kick this Shitty Hair in the face you gotta try harder than that.

[ Apparently that's also going to be motivation. Sort of. Katsuki might take it that way as there is another crack of the egg. Though this time it's more towards the blonde. ]

The other direction.

[ Kirishima, ever the good sport, turns the other cheek towards the egg. Hey, if it's what gets the baby out... ]

Yeah, c'mon! Show us what you got!

[ Okay, here comes the volume. An immediate wave of heat starts to wash over his own back as he feels some of his own Pokemon leaning over him. Naginata, his Dragonair, has butted her snout under Kirishima's arm, nearly lancing his forearm on her horn. ]

[ Hopefully that cut won't be bleeding too bad? Katsuki is about to say something about it when another leg pops out! Then a fourth. It's basically an egg with four legs about ready to run around. ]

Now hold on a minute!

[ Katsuki picks up the egg! ]

Don't go running around yet! You'll bump into shit!

[ Oh no... that's so cute. Eijiro's wounds will heal, it's fine. He's more focused on the moment. ]

It's armored! Don't we want the shell off?

[ But even as he says it, Kirishima isn't quite managing to suppress a smile. His bro's really protective where it counts, huh? ]

[ The thing inside the egg actually makes a bit of a cry. It wiggles a bit to get it's legs inside the egg again. Once it does, Katsuki sets it back down...

THEN IT JUST BURSTS FORTH...

On it's back somehow with it's tail bigger than it is! ]

What....
