[Legosi looms into view as the feed flickers to life. He's standing in front of what appears to be a small lot that had previously been for sale. Previous being due to the big "SOLD" sticker slapped over the sign at the front of the little pathway leading back to the house. It's a modest place, but what really sets it apart is the large side yard it sports.]

Good morning. I hope everyone is staying safe, under the circumstances.

[He's been keeping his head low, because Nope. He is DONE with giant birds for a while, thanks.]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've moved. ...well, it's more accurate to say I've finally settled down someplace. I'm going to be living in Azalea Town, now. Though I expect getting moved in may take a bit more time with everything that's been going on.

[The grey-haired young man (he knows) sighs, scratching the side of his neck.]

Anyway, um...if you need me, this is where I will be staying. I'm still going to travel every so often, but I thought it was time to get to work on the garden I've been planning to build.

[With all of that said, he offers the camera an extremely small, easy to miss smile before cutting off the feed.]

[ Fluttershy thinks for a moment. While she wasn't as much of an outdoors-type in the way that maybe Applejack was, she did enjoy nature and spending time in forests or in parks, getting to see animals in a more natural environment. But while she does love plants, she doesn't exactly have much of a green thumb either. ]

Um...well, do you have a grass-type Pokemon? Maybe they could help pull the weeds out with their vines? Or if you had a ground-type maybe they could burrow under and pull the weeds from below?

[bigsadwolf]

Hmm...

[Legosi thinks on that for a moment before he turns to rummage in his bag at his knees nearby, pulling out one of his minimized Pokeballs. He makes sure to toss it in a direction where the larger Pokemon won't be in Fluttershy's way as he appears with a burst of light and a snort, one of his hooves lightly tamping at the grass as he gives his head a brisk shake. Brisk enough that the flowers growing all over his antlers dust the ground with some pink petals.]

This is Louis. He's a Sawsbuck, a grass type, even though he looks like a deer. He's sure footed and a lot gentler than size would imply...so maybe he could help us.

[shiningkindness]

[ Fluttershy's smile brightens as she nods. ] Oh yes! I'm sure he'll be a wonderful help.

[ Thinking for a moment, she snaps her fingers and retrieves one of her own Pokeballs, and tosses it to release Horizon from inside. ]

Maybe Horizon can help too! He can help pull the weeds up without touching the ground.

[bigsadwolf]

It sounds like we have a plan, then.

[Legosi pats the side of Louis' head before standing, gesturing for Fluttershy to follow him around the corner of the house.]

Would you like some gardening gloves? I have an extra pair...but they might be a bit big.

[shiningkindness]

[ Fluttershy follows behind him, with Horizon dancing and twirling in the air as he flutters alongside her. ]

Oh, no thank you. I think I have some gloves I can use.

[ Not quite gardening gloves, but they should work well enough anyway. ]

What kind of plants will you be growing for your garden?

[bigsadwolf]

Mm...I was thinking something hardy to start with. Some sort of flowers that aren't that easy to kill. Marigolds, Pansys, Daffodils...that sort of thing.

[He brushes some of the soil off his gloves before he settles back on the ground again, starting in on the weeds growing near the house siding.]

Though I may do some shopping at local nurseries and bring my Pokemon with me. It's going to be for their enjoyment, so I want them to pick some things they'd like to have around too.

[shiningkindness]

Oh, that's a lovely idea. It would be nice to have a garden that all of you would enjoy.

[ Placing her hand on her bag, she remembers the real reason that she had come to visit. ]

Oh! Before I forget, I have something for you! I was planning to give this to you before, but the timing really works out, because now it's like a housewarming gift.

[bigsadwolf]

Oh?

[Legosi pauses in his work for a moment, leaning back on his haunches.]

What is it?

[shiningkindness]

[ Reaching into her bag, she carefully retrieves a Pokemon egg, wrapped in a green, handknit egg cosy. ]

Tadah! [ She gently holds the egg out to Legosi. ] A friend was selling Pokemon eggs on the network, and she had some Larvesta eggs for sale. I wasn't sure if you had one, so I wanted to get one for you.

[bigsadwolf]

Oh-!

[He'll take the egg with careful hands as it's handed to him, supporting the bottom with one while he rests the other gently on its side.]

I don't have one yet, no...but I have been wanting one, for some time. Fluttershy, this is so kind of you...thank you so much.

[shiningkindness]

[ Fluttershy beams as he takes the egg. ] You're welcome! I'm so glad you like it. [ She had a feeling he would, given what she's learned about him. ] My friend only had two Larvesta eggs, so I'm glad I was able to get them before someone else did.

[ Normally she'd feel a bit bad about taking the chance away from someone else, but she was happy to be able to get the egg for her friend. ]

[bigsadwolf]

I hear they are pretty rare just normally, finding them in the wild...and I haven't been traveling as much lately, so I wasn't sure when I might be able to catch one for myself. This really means a lot.

[He's going to have to make it up to her, eventually...she's done so many nice things for him lately, after all.]

[shiningkindness]

I've heard that too. I know you can't find any in the wild here in Johto, so I didn't think I'd get a chance to even see one until I went back to the Sevii Islands, let alone try to catch one. So it was really fortunate that my friend had two eggs available.

[ Fluttershy smiles warmly. Knowing that it made him happy was more than enough, especially since she knows he'll take such good care of it. ]

[bigsadwolf]

It's definitely one plus for breeding. It was the same case with my Togepi- now a Togekiss. I would never have gotten her if it weren't for getting her as an egg from a fellow breeder, since they tend to be quite rare otherwise.

[shiningkindness]

Oh really? I have seen some others with a Togepi, but I didn't know they were that rare. It's good you were able to get one then!
