[ 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. ]

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?

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.
