[ Makoto looks a little apprehensive when his face first flickers on the screen; it's one thing talking to people on this thing one-on-one, but the idea of addressing a whole bunch of people he doesn't know all at once, even long-distance, is still kind of daunting! even so, despite the nervousness, his smile is friendly. ]

Ah, hi, everyone! I'm sorry to be a bother, but I'd really appreciate it if I could get some quick advice from someone who's been here longer than I have, if that's okay. Has anyone here ever raised a Hoppip before? I caught one while me and Gou-chan were on the way to Cherrygrove city, and I was wondering - how long is it before they learn a move that they can defend themselves with...? We're doing fine so far since Nanami can cover for him, but it'd be nice just to have some peace of mind, you kn-- hah?!

[ as Makoto's been speaking, a helicopter-shaped leaf has been slowly coming into view above his head, followed by a bright pink, very round body. yep, it's taken Makoto this long to notice that the Hoppip in question has been using his head as a climbing frame. ]

Shou--! C'mon, I've told you not to do that already...! [ the rebuke doesn't sound serious, though, and Shou trills happily, peering over the top of Makoto's head to get a better look at the Pokegear. Makoto lets out a short, sheepish sigh of exasperation, rolling his eyes fondly. ]

He must think that my hair's some kind of nest or something, because he's been doing that for a while almost every time I've let him out of the pokeball. Ah, anyway, if anyone has an answer for me, I'll be really grateful!

They are really cute - and really soft, too. If I recall correctly, you can find them in the wild around Blackthorn City... it'll probably take a while for you to get there, though, so it'd be easier to get a Swablu egg.

Yep. [ He nods. ] It's home to the strongest gym leader in the region.

And yeah. All Pokémon come from eggs, actually. Including the ones that look like mammals.

[ Another nod. ]

All of them. It's a little weird, but it's how things work here.

Yeah. A lot of the things in this world are like something straight out of a manga... or video game, but that's probably pretty obvious already.

[ He rubs at the back of his neck. ]

I'm Naegi, by the way. Makoto Naegi. What's your name?
