[ Rinoa, bright-eyed, is sitting in her hotel room. There's a Growlithe curled up on her lap, relaxed, and an egg in the background. ]

Guess what? [ She waits a second or two—presumably for guessing--before continuing. ]

I got a job! I've been working at the PokeCenter for a day or two now, helping out with the patients.

It's not bad, and I want to save up some money, just in case!

[ She smiles at the camera, and then looks over her shoulder casually at the egg. ]

I've also got a new member of my team on the way! I'm going to name him Watts, when he comes—

[ As if on cue, the egg starts shaking and cracking slightly. She gasps and picks up the 'Gear, spinning it around so that the hatching egg is in focus. And then— ]

Char!

Aww, look at you, little guy! I think Watts is the perfect name for you~

Char Charmander! [ ...If you can understand Pokemon? The newly-Christened Watts is trying to explain that she's a girl, kthx. Rinoa just thinks "he's" saying hi. ]

[she nods!] How'd you get the idea?

[The Xatu nods.] [Or: "She thinks I'm a girl."]

Oh, well, Watts is the name of a friend back home! I'd already named my other Pokémon after friends, so I thought he should be, too.

[ Watts just shakes her head. ] [Translation: "Why are they so clueless?"

This is emphasized by a prodding of her trainer's leg, but Rinoa just shoots the Charmander a quick, confused look. ]
