So, I switched to breeder recently. Not because I want to make a living out of it. We have the band... It just seemed like it makes sense to cover all our bases, you know?

[No one asked for all this exposition, Min.

He seems to realise he's gone a little off-track (or never got there in the first place), and pauses for a moment to remind himself of the important part of this.]

Long story short, we have fourteen eggs. We think the moms are my Vulpix and my Azumarill, but the dads... We don't know about the dads. Which means we don't know for sure what they'll be or what their moves are.

I know our last eggs were hatched, but we really don't have time to hatch this many right now. If anyone wants to buy one, we can offer a refund if it turns out to be the dad's species and you don't want it.

[ooc: The full range of options are Alolan Vulpix, Azurill, and Piplup. For moves, etc... please head over here! You can claim IC, OOC, or both if you would like.]

[Oh! He knows that name.]

I'm Min-Gi. You're Luisa's sister, right?

[senorita_perfecta]

Correct. I’m actually her older sister and we all hail from the same world too. It’s always nice to meet a friend of hers either way.

[outofsynth]

I met her not long after I got here. It must be nice for her to have you. I know family's important to her.

[senorita_perfecta]

Thanks. Family has a big spot in our hearts and we do have a big family living under one roof. It can get very chaotic at times and we might get on each other’s nerves sometimes, but everyone is very amazing in their own way.

[outofsynth]

Yeah, I bet. My best friend has a big family, and growing up was definitely chaotic.

[Though they are also definitely not as close as the Madrigals, so he drops his voice a bit since Ryan is right there.]

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh yeah very relatable indeed. And especially when you have one cousin who likes to prank their cousins often as much as Camilo does. He likes to tease me greatly by turning into our neighbor and pretending to be him a lot.

[outofsynth]

Wow. I'm glad none of them could do anything like that.

[Because you can bet the Akagi siblings would have put a power like that to frequent use.

They'd been enough trouble without any special abilities.]

[senorita_perfecta]

Yeah I agree. Maybe sometimes not having powers like me, Luisa and most of my family is probably for the best to keep people from taking chaos and mischief to another level.

I hate to imagine something like that to explode into this world if somebody is given a power similar to Camilo’s shapeshifting. I have nothing against him per say but, oh dear, he does get a bit annoying sometimes.

[outofsynth]

I mean... There are Pokémon with that sort of ability, right?

I bet that can be a problem sometimes.

[Thankfully his Ditto isn't much of a prankster.]

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh yeah, that is a good point. I have read about some of them online and at a few libraries. Now that I think about it, I’ll have to keep an eye out on that whenever I encounter Pokémon with shapeshifting abilities.

Hopefully I don’t run into one who likes to give folks a hard time.

[outofsynth]

I've been pretty lucky so far, but I bet there are some routes where you have to look out for them.

[senorita_perfecta]

Why thanks. It never hurts to keep an eye out for any naughty prankster Pokémon while on some of the routes. Who knows what sort of mischief they might drag people into?

[outofsynth]

Sometimes it isn't even the Pokémon you expect.

[senorita_perfecta]

Good point. Are there any things I need to keep an eye on as well?

[outofsynth]

That's hard to say. Pokémon are all so individual, you never know which ones might turn out to be troublemakers.

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh course. Pokémon have such varying personalities that it can be hard to find the troublemakers from the more mild ones. Although I think that I have the misfortune of having one big troublemaker nowadays.

(Matcha the Polchageist then abruptly arrives on screen as soon as Isabela mentions them (although not by name). They then wink and wave at Min Gi with their tea scoop stick.

They aren’t so planning to spread more chaos today, nope nope. Nothing too worrying to see here at all.)

[outofsynth]

[Hm. Min thinks he might be able to guess who the troublemaker here is... He winces sympathetically, having a few mischievous Pokémon of his own.]

They're one of the ones who showed up recently, right?

[Or at least they aren't one that Min-Gi's ever seen before, or anyone else he'd talked to about them.]

[senorita_perfecta]

Oh yes, they are among the new Pokémon that have shown in here in recent weeks. I got Matcha a few weeks ago on Friday the 13th no less and, ho boy, do they love to give me and some of the team a lot of problems the moment I ended up catching them.

I must have lost count of the numerous pranks and antics they have gotten into by now.

[outofsynth]

Maybe they'll calm down once they settle in?

My Pancham still likes to get into trouble, but he's a lot better now than he was back when I first caught him.

[senorita_perfecta]

I do hope so too. Perhaps all that restlessness is the source of their antics and misbehavior. I might want to keep an eye on them to observe how they can change some of their attitude issues eventually.

[outofsynth]

It's definitely possible. If you're firm when they misbehave then they're more likely to start to respect you.

[He says like he's any good at being consistently firm with his Pokémon...]

[senorita_perfecta]

You know, that is a really great tip. I did have some struggles trying to tell them misbehaving for some time and I really need to change on how I go about it. Be more firm on telling them how not to behave among people and Pokémon and maybe they can understand how to be a better Pokémon.

[outofsynth]

Exactly. They should feel like they can be themselves, but that doesn't mean they can always do whatever they want to.

[senorita_perfecta]

(Matcha is partially annoyed by Min’s words, pouting hard like a kid who just got grounded. Isabela is trying to ignore them for a while longer while still talking to Min at this time. She really needs his sage words of wisdom in order to get Matcha from misbehaving 24/7.)

Yes indeed. I’m going to ensure that they can still be playful and be themselves but also remind them not to give everyone a hard time. I will ask the rest of the team, especially the older ones, to help them out with their current behavior issues too.

[outofsynth]

[Hm. Maybe Min should be glad this conversation is happening over the Gear rather than in person. He has less of an aversion to ghost types than he does psychics, but he's still met enough to know they seem more prone to mischievous streaks compared to a lot of Pokémon even if his own singular ghost is pretty laid back.]

That's a good idea. They can be pretty good role models for each other sometimes.
