Pokémon Palooza!

[capturespecialist]

Who: PokéSpecials (Gold, Silver, and Crystal), their new juniors (Naoto, Yuna, and Diarmuid), and a bunch of Pokémon.
Where: The wide park area of District 4, specifically by the lakeside.
When: April 12th, mid-morning
Summary: It's probably time for the new Pokémon trainers to understand exactly what they're getting into. Aka: A bunch of Pokémon trainer senpai seniors get to help out their kouhai juniors. A lot of Pokémon fun, probably! (Is Pokémon even a real word anymore.)
Warnings: Probably a lot of cute stuff and intense fussing, because that's what trainers from Johto absolutely do best. Also some responses will be slow (from me at least) -- feel free to threadjack where needed, seniors, since everyone's going to be in the same general area.

Crystal'd delivered the eggs to their respective trainers (Paras to Naoto, Horsea to Diarmuid, Totodile to Yuna) late last night, since they'd been on the edge of hatching, along with a request for them to meet up at the lake in District 4 -- as it was both fairly close and big enough for a big Pokémon gathering.

Luckily, it's a pretty nice day outside (or, well, it isn't threatening to rain -- that counts!) on the day they've decided to convene at the lake. The Pokémon are enjoying the pleasant spring weather too, though a few have opted to take to the water (Kingdra especially) instead of sitting out on the bank with their trainers.

It's just time to wait for the three new trainers to arrive with their baby Pokémon so things can get underway...

[ooc: phew! prose and brackets are both welcome, just use whatever you're most comfortable with.

also: the juniors should at least each make their own open thread for other juniors as well as GSC kids to reply to when they'd like. pokémon is all about forming bonds with people and pokémon alike -- let's keep the spirit going!]

[Diarmuid hasn't slept since he got his egg and certainly not since it hatched, but despite that, he is full of energy when he arrives at the lake. His Horsea is cradled protectively in his arms. Oddly enough, there is a towel draped over his shoulder and his hair is damp. What could that be about?

Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to keep Diarmuid away from the edge of the lake. In fact, he heads in a straight line for the shore, crouching nearby to let his Horsea into the water. At first, he had been a little worried if the water might be too cold, but since Kingdra is already swimming around in the lake, it can't be too bad.

He stays nearby, though, carefully watching his new friend with big smile on his face. Eventually, he settles down to sit, waving at people as they come by.]

[Yuna shows up to the meeting with her Totodile waddling along beside her. She seems to be in a good enough mood, although oddly, her fingers and toes are all bandaged up.]

Go ahead, go on and play. I'll be right here.

[She glances down to the baby Pokémon, gesturing toward the lake. Nodding eagerly, the Totodile takes off at an adorable run and dives right in to start swimming around. Yuna herself lets out a small sigh and sits down on the bank to watch.]

Whew...

When Naoto had gotten her egg the night before, she wasn't sure what to expect; it was a little nerve wracking, and a little exciting at the same time. This was a living being, one she'd need to raise and look after...

She wondered if this nervousness was what Kanji'd had experienced as well, though perhaps he went on longer than she did. It was after midnight when the egg began to crack, and Naoto held her breath as the tiny creature worked itself free of the shell.

"...Hello, there..."

--

The following day, Naoto came along to the Lake, carrying with her a small basket covered over in a warm blanket (borrowed from Kanji, more than likely). She glanced around, before spotting the other trainers and walking towards them.

"Good morning..."
