Ishimaru-kun!

[That certainly is Chihiro there, and there certainly is what appears to be a little goat in his arms on camera, its body covered with leaves. It's also rather preoccupied with getting the edge of Chihiro's sleeve in its mouth so it can chew on it.]

Look at what showed up today! I was just calling to see if you've seen them too...and if you would like to have one, if you haven't.

[ardent]

[...wh...at is this

that is fujisaki holding a goat

he is not sure what he expected today but "fujisaki holding a goat" was not it

not that it's unwelcome, mind you, but]

Ah, Fujisaki-kun! It's good to hear from you!

[...and good lord that sure is a goat]

I haven't seen anything like that here, actually! The swarms seem to have died down, where we are - at least, there hasn't been anything like the cats and dogs earlier this week!

It's very cute, though! And I wouldn't mind one, if you have several!

[codeforhope]

[That is Fujisaki holding a goat, and he looks pretty excited about it, too. These things are adorable, just look at them.]

Okay, I will send one to you right away. There...there are quite a few at the house here right now, actually. I'm going to ask around to see if anyone else wants one, but the others I think I'll just keep here.

[Hopefully they don't decide to reproduce, or we'll need another barn.]

[ardent]

[...that would be an exponential increase in the number of goats on our property, and they're adorable but holy crap someone's going to call the cops one day because that can't be legal]

That's very good of you, Fujisaki-kun! Making sure they go to good homes, then?

[codeforhope]

Mhm! I know they would be in good hands at the breeding center, if it came to that...but I'd much rather see them going to be with other trainers and breeders.

[It's like his egg-splosion all over again, only with lots and lots of little grass goats.]

[ardent]

Well, I'm glad to hear it - it's a noble goal!

[He's shouting again - but at least the excursion to Kanto seems to be doing him some good, if he's back to doing that. More like himself, really.]

How have you and the others been holding up, by the way?

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro's glad to see that, really! ...or hear, in this case.]

Other than cats and dogs falling from the sky...everything has been okay.

How about you?

[ardent]

I'm doing all right! Naegi-kun is also doing well; we should be back in Johto sometime this month, if we're figuring it correctly!

[...ah...]

Hopefully it won't be raining animals again!

[codeforhope]

[Chihiro nods, tugging his sleeve out of the little goat's mouth now that he's noticed that it's been in there for a while.]

Oh, I hope not...those poor Pokemon looked terrified by what happened to them.

I mean, I heard something about that hurricane pulling Sharpedos from the ocean...but I don't think I've ever seen anything like this before.

[ardent]

From the sound of it, a lot of the local people haven't either, though I obviously haven't talked to all of them.

[It's a bit alarming, all things considered.]

[codeforhope]

Do...do you think it will keep happening, Ishimaru-kun?

Not...necessarily raining Pokemon, but just...all of these swarms in general. Quite a lot of Pokemon have shown up.
