divinewind | 2nd Battle [video]

[Temeraire is looking much more put together than he was the last time he was on the network. He's also gotten better at working the 'Gear.]

Excuse me, everyone, I have a question for the people who have been here longer.

[He turns the camera around behind him to show a Druddigon and a shiny golden Charmander. The Charmander looks to be pestering the Druddigon despite being a fraction of her size, with the Druddigon carefully batting it away every so often. Then the camera is back on Temeraire, who lowers his voice and looks a little worried.]

Neither of them have gotten any bigger. Shimmer has only just hatched, so it makes sense that she is still small, but Reliant is at least a few weeks old and has not grown at all. Is that normal for Pokemon?

[He thinks a moment before adding, more to himself although it's still clearly audible] There have not been any cows or sheep for them to eat, perhaps that is what's wrong.

[Then he's back to addressing the camera at a normal speaking volume, and smiling a little for good measure.] I would very much appreciate any help.

[The feed lasts a little bit longer while he looks for the off button, but apparently he finds it because it shuts off.]

[Oh hi there Cooper c: ]

I have been! People here are very helpful.

[He sighs.] I suppose I will have to expect everything here to be strange. It is all very interesting, but it is as though I am learning everything about the world all over again.

_{[Hello. c:]}

But then many would agree that we never stop learning.

_{[In this world or back home, there's always something new. But onwards-]}

How's Johto treating you so far?

It has not been too bad.

[He says this a little over-determinedly; he very much misses being a dragon and especially misses Laurence, but he's promised himself that he'll put on a brave face about it. Although he's not the best actor in the world.]

I have almost got the hang of walking properly, and using the Pokegear. And I have hatched an egg.

_{[Coop spots it, of course, but refrains from commenting.]}

I saw. Another dragon?

[The not commenting would be very appreciated if Temeraire knew that he'd noticed. For now he'll just think that he's been successful in his act.]

In a way, although I have been told that she will look more dragon-like as she grows up.

[He walks over to where the Charmander is still pestering Reliant, and crouches down to better show her on the camera.]

I have named her Shimmer, since her scales are such a nice color, like gold. [He does sound very admiring, and slightly jealous, of the color.]

She will, although likely not as big as you might expect.

_{[Just, you know. Charizards are kind of tiny compared to his true form. :I]

[He smiles though, at the name.]}

A nice name - and appropriate. It looks like most pokémon hatched after Christmas are particularly striking when it comes to looks.

[And a good thing too. Imagine what kind of chaos an 18 ton Charizard could wreak in the hands of some of the people here. Temeraire looks a tiny bit disappointed, but then grins back at the approval.]

Yes, I have heard they are all different colors from what is normal for their breeds.

What did you get?
