[The camera opens on a shakey video, mostly of an Espurr's face as the camera wiggles. The Espurr squeaks. Anyone who can understand Pokemon would hear the Espurr trying to coach whoever was holding the device to hold it steadier.

"Marill!" came the reply.

Finally steady, the video showed what looked to be a house, kind of old looking, but otherwise in pretty good shape with a decent lawn. It looked... really big, but then again it was being shot from a low angle.

Then Espurr toddled into frame, smiling, squeaking, waving his arms as though trying to show off the house behind him before squeaking again and beginning to toddle towards the house. The videographer - a Marill one might assume - slowly followed behind. A Hisuian Zorua poked her head into frame and then darted away.

Finally, the trainer spoke]

Can I have it back now please? You have showed it to them.

"Marill!"

[And Ulaz would finally take the device taking a brief moment to show the videographer was in fact a Marill who went chasing after the Espurr]

Thank you for indulging them. They thought it would be amusing, but it was going to take far too long. Irkut is a little slow.

But I have decided to get a house so that there will be room for them grow. It needs some work, but it means I can make it how I wish.

Hey, congratulations! It looks great. Fixing up a place really is rewarding. We had fun working on ours.

[Evie warbles in confirmation.]

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. I thought that it would be a good spot to set up with enough room to grow. I intend on putting a small pond around the side for my water Pokemon.

I hope that they have enjoy working on ours.

[Foudre made a sound of confirmation from somewhere off screen as well Trunti barking in agreement]

[crystalmaster]

It looks like it will be! A pond is a good idea. I have one for my Magikarp.

I think they will. They sound pretty excited!

[scalpelofmarmora]

Ozriv will definitely love it. If I make a shallower area, I'm sure Jaxu might as well.

[Round ball did not swim very well]

I've been discussing plans with them for what I hope we can make it to be.

[crystalmaster]

That's a good idea to have both water levels.

[Radley smiles.]

We've been doing the same here. Mine have given me several ideas for things they'd like.

[tempredmental]

Looks like your friends are pretty proud of the place.

[scalpelofmarmora]

It seems they are. They were excited when I told them when I was considering a larger place and they liked that I wanted to their opinion.

[He glanced back towards the door]

He is still going.

[He turned the camera to show Keith that Irkut still seemed to be giving an introduction to the house to whoever would listen which was the Marill, a Spheal and an orange Stufful]

They've all seen the house before.

[tempredmental]

[Keith smirked in amusement. Okay, that was pretty darn cute.]

I guess I'm going to have to come over at some point and let him give me the grand tour.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Yes, I suppose you will. Irkut would probably enjoy that. He is quite spirited. And his tours have only been with my other Pokemon who have already seen it. At least it still amuses them as well.

[tempredmental]

[Keith chuckled a little.] Well, then it'll be a visit. Good luck with the place. It must feel nice to have.

[Oh, how do you not smile at something like this?]

Congratulations, all of you.

If you need any kind of help with repairs or work, I did a lot on ours when we got it. I'm more than happy to come help out.

[scalpelofmarmora]

[It was hard not to. He rather enjoyed it. I would have rather allowed it to continue longer, but Irkut was not fast]

Thank you. We are all excited about finding a new place.

[A few Pokemon in the background agreed]

I would appreciate any help. I'm sure it will not be difficult to learn, but I have done more technical work than what this requires.

[shiro2hero]

It's a big deal - and something to be proud of, for sure.

[And the pokemons' reactions are just adorable.]

It's not hard, no, but it takes some practice. I'm pretty handy with it anymore. [Someone groans in the background - probably one of his pokemon.] So yeah, hah. Whenever you need it, let us know.

[scalpelofmarmora]

I am happy about it. It has been sometime since I have been able to even consider a place like this.

[Being in space for so long... having a house was not something he considered. But he couldn't help some amusement at the sound]

One of yours is tired of working on a house? [He glanced towards the side] They are still going.

[And he turned the device so Shiro could still see that Irkut was still seeming to introduce the house to any of his Pokemon that would listen, which included the Marill, a Spheal, and a Hisuian Zorua]

[shiro2hero]

That, I can definitely understand. [Maybe not as much, but he can empathize. Being in space so long, and then traveling on the road, here...]

I've got - [Hold up. Something important just rolled into his field of view.] ... Is that a Spheal?

[heartofalioness]

Oh that looks lovely already, Ulaz. [A soft chuckle.] And your Pokémon are quite the budding cinematographers.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. Thought that this one did look the nicest and they agreed.

[He smiled faintly]

Yes, apparently they are. Irkut has quite... a personality. Ozriv, the Marill, is the one that came from you.

[heartofalioness]

[She gives a soft smile of her own.]

I had a feeling that was a case. It's lovely to see her doing so well.

[scalpelofmarmora]

She is quite happy, it seems. She and Irkut have been spending more time together as of recently. I also plan to put in a pond so that she has a larger area to swim in.

[heartofalioness]

That sounds wonderful. [She's so proud of her grand-mon.] You're always welcome to visit Four Island as well; she might like the ocean.

[It took Ozriv's mother Chumirra quite a bit of training to get over her fear of open water- a leftover from whatever incident led her to be picked up by the Daycare's Pokémon Rescue team- but she's a thriving aquanaut now, and especially enjoys helping Allura Dive in the reefs surrounding Four Island.]

[looneylovegood]

You have some very cute Pokémon. Congratulations on the house, too.

[scalpelofmarmora]

Thank you. Irkut and Ozriv - my Espurr and Marill - certainly know they are cute. I believe Irkut found some shows about houses and wanted to mimic it. And thank you about the house. It is something that many have talked about and I enjoyed the idea of it.

[looneylovegood]

I haven't decided if I want to get a house, yet. But, I think I will have to soon. I will need an area to be able to continue breeding, after all.

Do you breed your Pokémon?

[scalpelofmarmora]

That does seem to be a good thing to consider.

I intend to yes. Many of mine are still a bit younger and haven't started to consider such things, but perhaps soon.

[looneylovegood]

Yes. I have noticed that, too. Though, I think my Pokémon, while a lower level, is old enough to breed. I may have gotten that because I have breeder status here instead of trainer status.
