[Vivi is staring down at the Pokéball at her feet, which has just stopped moving, the Pidgey inside becoming her first caught Pokémon. She has an uncomfortable look on her face.]

I'm still not sure about this. It almost feels like kidnapping.

[She glances over at her Sandshrew, Jewel, who seems very impatient with her.]Don't look at me like

[Oh, he knows the feeling when an egg just doesn't seem to hatch so fast. Have a reassuring smile, stranger.]

It takes a bit longer for some eggs to hatch for some reason. There's no need to worry.

It does? Maybe that's it, then. Someone gave me this egg to care for, so I've been worrying that I'm doing it wrong.

If you've been taking care of both eggs the same way, I'm sure you've done nothing wrong. The Vulpix egg did hatch already, after all. [And what a cute Vulpix there is.] Some of my own eggs have taken around a week to hatch.

That's good to hear, thanks! Hopefully it shouldn't take much longer, in that case.

[That's a really adorable Pokémon! Though really, America had a similar problem with his Pidgey. It does mean that he can just keep it out in the open and it'll mostly look after itself though - which is nice.]

They can be pretty stubborn, huh?

[He gives her a grin and then blinks at the second part.] Well, I know the more common Pokémon take less time to hatch, Eevee's are pretty rare, I think. So that might be why?

[regal_azure]

Very stubborn! Hopefully I'll start to understand them a bit more with time, right now it feels like my Sandshrew is criticising everything I do.

I didn't know Eevees were so rare. Hopefully that's it, and it will hatch soon.

[ttlyahero]

[He laughs at that.] I guess it's kinda hasty to get on with things, maybe?

[He looks thoughtful at that.] I think they are anyway. I mean, there's like one in the game. You can't catch them in the wild. I'm not sure how it translates to here but...

[regal_azure]

She certainly seems to understand how things work here better than I do, although she doesn't seem to have much patience with me while I figure it out.

[She's surprised to hear this.] Really? If that holds true here, I've taken on a bigger responsibility than I realised. I hope that I can care for this egg as well as it deserves.

I wouldn't worry about the catching thing too much. It's pretty natural for Pokemon. [He guesses.]

[video]

[regal_azure]

The Pidgey didn't seem to mind at all, once I'd caught it. I still feel quite bad about it, though; like there are baby Pidgeys going hungry because of me, or something.

[video]

[itsthebutz]

Never thought of it like that before...huh.

[video]

[regal_azure]

I'm probably overreacting. I mean, people catch Pokemon all the time, right? So I'm sure if there were baby Pokemon suffering because of it, it would have been an issue before now.

[lc_whitequeen]

Hello, Vivi! Ara ... did you catch a Pokemon just now?

[regal_azure]

Hi, Lacus! Yes, I just caught a Pidgey. It's the first one I've tried to catch.

[lc_whitequeen]

Congratulations! I remember that mine was a magikarp.

That was a few months ago.

[regal_azure]

Thanks! Although I still feel a little strange about capturing animals like this. How was catching your first Pokémon?

[video]

[chosenlightchld]

Aww, that Vulpix is adorable!

And you don't need to worry about the Pidgey, I don't think. If it's anything like the one that I accidentally caught back when I first started it's not going to leave no matter how often you say it can.

[video]

[regal_azure]

Thanks! She is rather cute. She's so small, though, so I keep worrying that I'm going to lose her.

Really? I'd better get used to him, then. Although I do find it strange that he just accepted being captured as easily as he did. I'm not sure I would, in his position.

[video]

[chosenlightchld]

Aww, I think you'll be okay. Baby pokémon tend to stick around their trainers a lot.

And yeah, I don't really understand that all that much either.

[video]

[regal_azure]

Yes, she does seem to be following me around. Maybe she thinks I'm her mother.

It could be inherent in a Pokémon's nature to follow whoever captures them, or it could be something in the Pokéballs that does it, I guess.
