defyingfrigidity | Seventh Flake [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[For the first time in a few months now, the scenary in Elsa's video is no longer a small, cozy apartment or the towering skyscrapers of Goldenrod City; instead, the smaller and more elegant-looking buildings of Ecruteak City surround the young woman.]

To those of you who said I'd enjoy Ecruteak City as much as Goldenrod... well. You were right! [She lets out a soft laugh.] This place... it has such a different feel to it than the other towns and cities we've been to so far.

[She takes a deep breath before letting it out slowly, shivering slightly. Geez, it's still a little cold out...]

Anna mentioned that many of the myths of Johto originated in this town. Maybe that has something to do with it.

[And she can't wait to learn all about them!

Oh, but speaking of Anna....]

Elsa, Elsa..!

[It looks like Anna's causing more than a bit of a ruckus in the background; she's trying her hardest to keep the precious cargo in her hands balanced as she comes into view of the camera with a whopping seven different eggs! Anna, being the clumsy girl she is, has to try her hardest not to fall...]

Look at all of these eggs! Isn't it awesome?! Odin and Frigga had triplets! And Idun and Freya had them, too! Even Skadi! I never thought that our Pokemon would actually have eggs together! But the Ralts are probably gonna be like SUPER Ral--Woah...!

[She has to make an effort not to let one of the eggs she's showing off wobble and hit the floor, but, to her credit, she's handling it decently enough... Must be all of that waitressing!]

If you know anyone that wants one, you should tell them that we have a whole bunch!! Oh, but they have to promise to take good care of them!

[... Elsa, who had almost dropped her PokeGear when Anna came stumbling into view with the eggs, and very nearly dropped it again when Anna nearly lost her hold on them, just. Stares in shock.]

I... w-what...

[She. No. She's not gunna think about how this could've happened when they'd been traveling nonstop for almost a week now. Nope not gunna think about it she doesn't wanna know.

... Still. When the shock wears off, she does look rather happy when she finally turns her focus back towards her pokegear.]

W-Well then. You heard my sister. Looks like we need to find a few homes for these little ones...!

Oh, I know for a fact that Pokemon are proud to be named after amazing figures in history or stories! I named one of my companions after Sigurd, a very popular hero in mythology, and he loves it.

... I think it might've gone to his head a bit, but he's still a reasonable little guy.

That's sweet. I'm sure he won't get too puffed up about it. He's got to earn his stripes, after all.

I guess I should start thinking about which scientist to choose next, although it's kind of difficult without knowing what type of Pokemon first. ...That is, if I ever manage to catch another Pokemon. I still haven't quite warmed up to the idea, really.

Oh, he most definitely has. The fact that he evolved is proof enough of that.

[Hmm...]

You don't have to battle if you don't want to. Plenty of people give out or sell eggs for others to raise, if they can't do so themselves.

If you want, I'd be happy to send one of these eggs to you. I know you'll give the pokemon inside a very good home.

Wow, he evolved, huh? Congratulations! That's quite an accomplishment.

Yeah, I know that, but I think my Pokemon might want to...and I don't want to deny him.

R-Really? You'd be willing to do that, just like that! I mean, of course, I'd love to, but are you really sure?

Of course! It's not as if we're giving away pokemon we don't have, or our own companions. I see this as a way of helping others make new friends, so why not?

Thank you! That's really kind! I'd be happy to take one off your hands if you're willing.

I wouldn't be offering if I wasn't willing!

[Hmm, some others have staked their claims on eggs already, but there are a few left...]

We still have Amaura, Gible, and Lapras eggs left, so you can have your pick.

Okay, give me a second! [Time to do some very quick gear research. He hasn't had all that much time to familiarize himself with all the types of Pokemon yet. And. That is a dinosaur Pokemon.]

I'd really like an Amaura, then. I can't believe dinosaur Pokemon exist that is so cool! [Excuse him while he nerds out in excitement about dinosaurs.]

Oh, excellent choice!

[Early 1800's European royalty may not have the same fascination with dinosaurs as modern scientists, but Elsa is happy to see Carlos pick that egg anyway!]

The mother, Skadi, is one of my dearest companions, so I'm sure that this little one will be a very good friend to you.

I'd expect any egg belonging to one of your Pokemon will become a great Pokemon! You seem to raise them really well.

[Elsa practically glows at the compliment.]

Oh, I'm sure there are some teams that are much more well-behaved than mine. I have quite a few tricksters here with me, and several on Anna's roster as well...

But I do try! And I'm glad it's paying off.

Well, that's to be expected. I mean, they all have personalities, so there's bound to be some that have a tendency to misbehave. [Carlos your Pokemon is laid back in nature you can't talk.]

Unfortunately, that means we have to be even more watchful than usual. A misbehaving companion is one thing... a misbehaving companion with abilities such as these is an entirely different experience.

[Still, Elsa doesn't sound annoyed. In fact, she sounds rather... fond.]

Ah, that's true! It's a good thing my Tesla is a considerate Pokemon. Otherwise I would be shocked a lot more frequently. [Ah, the joys and pains of electric types.]

Yes, you do seem to be quite lucky. [A chuckle.] I don't have any of those types myself, but I've heard they can be very energetic.

[Elsa, was... was that a pun...]

Be careful, though. Some Pokemon might grow bolder as they evolve, so you might have a future trickster on your hands.

[He laughs.] He is very energetic!

[He blinks.] Oh geez. I didn't even think to worry about that. If Pokemon have crazy teenage phases, then I'm in trouble.

Oh, it shouldn't be that bad! As long as you train them well and treat them kindly, they'll respect you enough to not be destructive. Or... not intentionally. That was my experience, at least.

[He takes a deep breath.] Well. That's good to know. Still, I guess I'll have to keep an eye on them.
