Not even Jupiter can find a lost opportunity.

[The weather was weird, sure, but Phi's always happy to be wearing short skirts sans leggings again, and she's looking far more comfortable in her video now than she ever would have during December, even snuggled in her winter coat as she was. With weather like today's, she doesn't even have to regret her perch of choice! Even though her perch is a chilly Glalie floating a few inches off the ground.]

I need a Leaf Stone and a Sun Stone -- I have the money to pay for them, and you'll get something for your troubles, too, if that helps.

[She seems to consider something for another few seconds, then directs her attention to the 'gear once more.]

If you have a Vileplume or Bellossom yourself, I wouldn't mind hearing about them. I'm sure Venus would appreci --

[A fwip! of paper being brandished interrupts her, and she sets the 'gear in her lap so she can inspect the offering. With the sun, it's easy to see through the back that it reads 'VENIS AND PHI' in crayon with the writing of a small child, and includes a heart.]

Close. This one here's a 'U', the smiley one. Remember? V-E-N-U-S.

[A determined hum fades as Phi picks up the device and shuts it off. They got the idea.]

[Oh look, Phi's finally using video! ...Only not, because her face isn't that blue. Or...drooly. Nope, instead, a Gloom waves, rather cheerfully despite her species name! If Phi wanted her to learn how to use trainerspeak, then first she had to learn how to operate this device! Unfortunately, only pokemon will understand her announcements, right now.]

Hello, everyone! I hope you're all okay... That human holiday is kind of scary. B-but even if it is, I'm glad it happened because now trainer named me! And I was finally able to evolve for her! I really hope she'll be --

[As if on cue, there's the sound of a door opening, quickly followed by a loud, surprised noise of...well, disgust.]

Is something rotting in here? I hope it's not that egg...

[Venus's face crumples and the 'gear is turned off before she can burst into tiny plant tears.]

---
[Around thirty minutes later, another, less excited video makes its way to the network. It's actually Phi this time, though there's also the Gloom huddled up against her sleeping at the bottom of the frame. Seems like Phi has quickly adjusted to her pokemon's new scent.]

Hey. I got my first egg a while back, but it hasn't hatched yet. I thought that since I could hear it moving around about a week ago, it would be here by now... How long do these things usually take? It's a Snorunt, if that changes things.

[Pause.]

Information on how to care for baby pokemon or...newly evolved pokemon would be nice, too.
