Victory Road!

Action
[All month, Ulaz has been trying to practice with Bet, his Corviknight. Some of the time, he has no problem. Other times... other times are like now.

For anyone who might be watching in Goldenrod City, Bet is swooping in, coming for deep dive. Not that he is really trying to do something stupid, but he's being chased at the moment. Behind the Corviknight are several dozen small bird Pokemon chasing him, Pidgey and Rookiedee mostly, with a few random Murkrow that have been tailing since Ecruteak City. Most alarming are three Skarmory that have apparently been chasing him from either further or come out of nowhere.

Clearly, Bet is trying to figure out how to drop off his trainer so he doesn't get hurt and so Ulaz can recall him. Easier said than done when there are so many other bird Pokemon hot on his tail feathers]

Video
[It is a bit later, but Ulaz is on the ground back near his house. Bet is with him, looking a bit worse for wear, but he is taking care of fixing his feathers]

Has anyone else been having problems with the bird Pokemon when they are out flying? It seems like half the time we try, Bet and I get swarmed by various Pokemon while we are flying.

[Video opens to show Ulaz's Glaceon and Alolan Ninetails snuggled on the couch, Christmas decorations adorning the room and a tree in the room with some very basic decorations. Younger Pokemon, including a Rockruff, Litten, and Togepi come wandering through as they play. After a few moments, Ulaz can be heard, saying "Meze? Meze?"

A few footsteps as Ulaz approaches the holder of the device.

"Meze, you are so helpful, thank you." Some might be able to catch the hint of sarcasm there.

"Dreeepy!"

"Come on. Come with me."

The video rotates to follow Ulaz, who was leading the way back towards another part of the room. In this area, there was a collection of eggs. Eighteen of them to be precise. Irkut the Meowstic was settled nearby, ready to look after all these eggs. There is a Skitty settled near a group, Ozriv the Azumarill and Jaxu the Spheal near the second, and a Goodra near the last two eggs]

Happy Holidays, everyone. It seems like we have had some eggs here for Christmas. I believe we have six Skitties, five Azurill, three Spheal, two Espurr, and two Goomy.

[Xaxu, the Goodra, stretched and called to another Pokemon off-screen. A moment later, a Slither Wing came carefully picking his way closer to the eggs before laying down. Xaxu scooted the two Goomy eggs closer to the Slither Wing - a fluffy bug - before going to take a needed break from egg watching]

Thank you, Zeku. We have a new babysitter.

Please let me know if you are interested in any of these eggs. If you are new here, let me know and tell me which one of them you would like.

[As per usual, Ulaz has a videographer. The device seemed to be float in mid-air, courtesy of Meze the Dreepy. She was getting better at it though which was good. Hopefully not as easily distracted.

What the video opens to was one the inside of a bathroom, but now looks more like a pool than a bathroom. The whole back of the room was just one very large bathtub]

Our renovations are coming a long. I think we are nearly done, and Chatzea was willing to show off.

[The Finizen popped her head out of the pool and chattered at the camera. She was very much enjoying her new pool. And it was clear others wanted to enjoy it too as Ozriv the Azumarill mounted the stairs to get to the pool as well before sliding on in. Plenty of room for both of them!]

I think they will be much more comfortable for the winter season when it is cold outside.

And we have had a few evolutions happen recently, but one that was long anticipated. Irkut.

[As one might guess by the lead-in to that, the Pokemon that came running over was no longer an Espurr but now a Meowstic. He was actually quick now]

It is good to see that he was finally ready to evolve.

So it seems that my idea to go out looking for more Pokemon has been delayed. It is necessary to get this problem sorted out, at least as much as possible before then.

[Ulaz will then pan the camera around to show off the "problem". There are four pairs of Pokemon, each with a small clutch of eggs.

A Mightyena with clearly eggs of two different patterns so some were the father's species, a Husiuan Arcanine; a Glaceon with an Alolan Vulpix; a shiny Stufful and a Hisuian Zorua; and a shiny Yanma and a Vivillion]

They have clearly been busy. If anyone would like to claim one of the eggs, please let me know. There is a chance that two of the batches might contain a shiny, but I do not yet have the scanner so I cannot be sure.

[The video post opens with Ulaz standing in front of one of the doors in his house. It is an interior door based on the walls. A gaggle of small Pokemon stands with him - his Espurr, Eevee, and Marill]

Thank you for tuning in. My Espurr, Irkut, was excited about starting the remodel and wanted to do this as though it were a remodeling show. So...

The weather has improved so it is time to start with the remodeling of the house. As I have several water Pokemon, one of whom- [He stopped as the camera rotated seemingly on its own to show off the Finizen outside in a kiddy pool through a window. The small dolphin seemed to be having fun and she had babysitters in the form of a Leafeon and Mightyena] Meze. [The camera rotated back] As I was saying, I have one who requires water now so we are going to remodel what will now formerly be a bathroom so the water Pokemon won't be so isolated.

But first, we need to remove this portion of the wall. I have already checked the plans and it is not a load bearing wall so it is fine to take it down. Safety is important in any job so you should wear proper safety gear.

[He paused a moment to pass out small hardhats and eye protection to his Pokemon, all of them happily exclaiming. Irkut had to use his powers to hold the goggles in front of his eyes, Primdes the Eevee looking a bit confused by them before chiming in happily. Once they were set, Ulaz put on his own hat and goggles]

Now that everyone is ready... [The Pokemon stepped more to the side] We are ready to take out this wall. Right here please. [Ulaz tapped a spot on the wall before stepping to the side.

And that was the most warning there was before a Bastiodon surged forward and rammed the wall, taking it out quite handily and making a hole in the wall almost large enough for Ulaz to step through. Ulaz's three Pokemon exclaimed in excitement. They had been expecting this at least so they weren't surprised by the Bastiodon punching a hole in the wall]

Thank you, Tryske.

[Ulaz said as the Bastiodon was backing up from having rammed the wall. Tryske looked decidedly pleased with himself as he turned around to wander off. He had helped!]

Well that is the first stage of demolition. We will be sure to show more when it has progressed.

[He glanced down at his Pokemon. Ozriv the Marill was playing with her goggles now, Primdes nodded his head back and forth to make his hat wiggle, and Irkut had stopped using his powers so the goggles just tumbled to the floor]

Thank you for watching.

[The video opens with Ulaz walking somewhere in his house. Normally he wouldn't do that, but as the camera angle goes behind him, it is obvious that he is not the one holding the camera. Even though it is clearly following Ulaz, the video feed does reveal that there are a few new housemates. A Leafeon is wandering around near the couch with his Eevee and Alolan Vulpix following behind (apparently trying to act as a "mature" as the Eevee evolution) while a Bastiodon napped in one corner.

But as Ulaz reached the door which was already open, he glanced back]

You turned it on?

[Sorry, listeners. There was the sound of a happy Dreepy way to close to the device. A moment later, the faint sound of a Dragapult from somewhere else in the house. The Dreepy sounded curious now]

Yes, thank you, Meze, for turning it on already. [There was a faint hint of sarcasm there. He hadn't been expecting her to turn it on] Give it to me and you can go see Regris.

[He took the device from Meze the Dreepy and she was off! Ulaz just shook his head and headed inside]

I wanted to know if anyone had any advise of remodeling, especially bathrooms. I have had to push up my timeline of making changes to the house.

[He walked through the bathroom to the bathtub where Ozriv the Marill was standing on the rim of the tub looking in and Irkut the Espurr was on a stool also looking in. Irkut looked back at him and squeaked as he came over before looking back in.

Soon everyone else would be able to see too. There was a small dolphin-like Pokemon in the bathtub, playing in the water, but likely would have preferred more. She squeaked happily when Ulaz returned, popping up just a bit so she was closer]

This is Chatzea. She just hatched recently. It is colder outside and I'd like to give her more space to play in the water until I can get a pond build for her and the others. I thought I'd have more time to research, but it is important to start looking now.

[He reached in to give her a pet and Chatzea made a happy sound. Ulaz smiled faintly.

But this was interrupted by a commotion outside the room. Unintentionally, Ulaz moved the device to look at the door when he turned to see what was going on. There were a few Pokemon running around... until something went floating by making a clinking noise]

It's back again?!

[As Ulaz started to get up, he turned off the video feed]
