♥ 004 [ video ]

[ 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. ]

[ Step by step! Her trainer just gets too...set in her beliefs, sometimes. And be careful with your head! ]

Oh, okay. Let me check.... [ Give her a few minutes to fiddle with it and look at the information.

Okay, she's back.
] Um. I guess Watts is really a girl! [ Sheepish smile. The Charmander looks quite content. ]

[Victory fanfare! Rosie and Leviathan jump in the air in a very restrained manner as they cheer.]

Is that so? That would explain the dress... But that shouldn't stop you from calling her Watts. Leviathan does not mind having a masculine name, does she?

[Indeed she doesn't, but that's mostly because Cecil said that she was named after a king that ruled over the oceans. Kind of hard to dislike those kinds of associations.]

[ And now Watts is thanking them for their help, because that was some skillful maneuvering. ]

Yeah, that makes more sense. [ Rinoa laughs. ] And unless she has any problems with it, she'll probably stay Watts.

[ Watts makes no noise of protest, so Rinoa figures she's cool with the name. ]

[They were glad to help! Anything to protect a Pokémon from her trainer's silly ideas.]

She seems not to mind, at least. Then again, she must understand that you named her after someone important to you.

I bet she'd like Watts, if she met him. He's a good person to be named after!

Is that so? What is he like?

Well, I met Watts when I joined the Forest Owls, a rebel group in Timber dedicated to freeing our town from the tyranny of Deling and Galbadia! [ Yeah, that passion runs deep, man. Okay, back on topic again. ]

Watts was our information-getter. He's incredibly polite and kind, and he was really devoted to our cause. Along with Zone, he was one of my closest friends in Timber.

He sounds like a dependable friend. Did your group reach its goal?

He really is! [ Can you feel the love/admiration? ] Well, not yet...but we're getting there! We've come so far that we can't give up now!

I wish you luck. Fighting a corrupt and ill-intentioned ruler is far from easy.

It's worth it, though. [ Beaming. ]

...How about your Pokémon? I can guess who Leviathan's named after [ after all, it's kind of hard to forget a GF like that ], but what about the others?
paladinlost: (friendly)

Rosie was named after my wife; Lydia, Kayne and Firion were named after friends; Esuna and Flare, after spells; Avenger after a sword, and Leila was named by her previous trainer.

You have a wife? [ Yeah, she was caught by this—it's not that surprising, though, once she thinks about it. ]

Sounds like you've got a big team there!

A wife, and a son about your age, too. But they've not yet appeared in Johto.

That took some time. I only had four before Christmas, but my team doubled in size over the last month and a half.
