[copykiri]

[She nods enthusiastically.]

Best birds! Best bird breeder too!

[It's also time to show off the eggs she has. The very many eggs.]

[nevercaught]

[Jarlaxle watches attentively. It costs very little effort from him to give the child his attention, after all, and it is good to make friends in a strange realm.]

Amazing! All these eggs are from birds that you have caught?

[copykiri]

Most! Riding Pokemon too. And cats.

[She starts walking around, and there's a Mantine doing graceful skims of the surface of a decorative garden pond, and a bunch of horselike Pokemon enjoying some hay together. And yes, several different types of cat. Cats and horses lay eggs here. Go with it.]

[nevercaught]

Do cats and horses lay eggs here, then? Most curious!

[What a strange plane this is!]

[copykiri]

[Kiri nods]

Everything! Makes eggs with other kinds too. Called egg groups. Weird!

[nevercaught]

That does sound strange! But you have riding beasts, do you? Hm.

[He wonders if this little bird girl would accept a trade. If he could catch some field creature for her...?]

[copykiri]

[She nods again, excited.] Hatch small, get big!

[one at a time she starts showing off the horsies. And other things.]

Hatch Mudbray. Gets big Mudsdale! Hatch fairy Ponyta, gets Galarian Rapidash! Hatch fire Ponyta, gets Kantonian Rapidash! Hatch Blitzle, gets Zebstrika! Hatch Deerling, gets Sawsbuck! Hatch Skiddo, gets Gogoat. Stantler maybe small, but strong deer! Houndoom maybe small too? But I can ride!

[The last is a horned skelly-dog about medium pony-sized, so maybe on the fringe of being truly ridable for the average adult human.]

For water riding, Mantine is best. Hatch Mantyke! With Remoraid help, gets Mantine!

[Look, Mantine can literally fly out of the water for brief periods. It's as close to a bird as a true water-mon can be. She's biased.]

Birds... Corviknight biggest. Talonflame fastest. Fearow big distance! Hawlucha carries heavy! Pidgeot all-rounder. Braviary good too, but gets big slow.

[The camera stops at each kind of bird, and considering that she hatches a bunch to check for shinies, most of the birds have examples of their first evolution wandering around near the adults. New-hatched birds are very small, and often don't resemble their final forms particularly closely for some reason?]

[nevercaught]

Hmm. Of the land beasts, which do you think is best suited for two men to ride together?

[Asking for a friend.

The friend is Kimmuriel.]

[copykiri]

[No hesitation.]

Mudsdale!

[The rest takes a bit longer.]

Biggest and strongest. Slow but sturdy. Goes over rough ground best.

[nevercaught]

I wonder, then, is there anything I might catch and trade you for a Mudsdale egg?

[copykiri]

Hmmmm.

[That's imitating a man's voice as Kiri puts her hand to her chin and thinks.]

You trainer or breeder?

[nevercaught]

... trainer, I think? That false mother would have told me if I were a breeder, wouldn't she?

[copykiri]

Breeders get notebook!

[And she holds up hers. And then shows off her newest shiny, Swablu, next to some not-shiny cousins.]

Trainers can find special shinies! You catch! Lend to me! I make best shiny eggs to sell! Give back. Fair payment for Mudsdale egg?

[nevercaught]

I do not have such a notebook, so I suppose I am a trainer!

And yes, I think that is quite equitable! Do we have an accord, then?

[copykiri]

Send right away! Watch sky for Corviknight!

[She pauses for a moment.] 6 hours, maybe.

[nevercaught]

[Jarlaxle blinks.]

So swiftly?

[copykiri]

Towns have teleport! Teleport to Cherrygrove. 6 hours flying. 3 days walking. Flying fast! Trainers need badge first.

[nevercaught]

Oh! I didn't know there were teleportation circles here! How useful!

I shall await you, then, with happy anticipation.

[copykiri]

[About six hours later a huge shadow swoops down from the sky, holding a basket? Kiri hops off once the Corviknight has landed.]

Adventurer Drizzt! Adventurer Drizzt!

[That's an awfully large basket for a single egg.]

[nevercaught]

Kiri! How good to see you!

[That is a large basket. How intriguing!]

[copykiri]

[The basket is almost large enough that Kiri could fit into it if she curled up, but Kiri carries it without stumbling and very proud of herself. There's a very small (for pokeworld definitions of "small") bird sitting atop of blankets. No, wait, there's definitely egg in there under the bird and blanket. Just how large is this egg?]

Delivery! Rookidee wants to help hatch!

[The Rookidee fluffs up and proudly 'deedeedee's at that. Look how good they are keeping the egg(s) warm! The blankets are probably doing most of the work]
