[crystalmaster]

The best conditions are ...

[Radley laughs as the Eevee reaches his shoulder.]

Hey! You silly girl!

[He reaches up and pats her paws. The Eevee nuzzles his hair.]

The Pokemon need to be happy. They have to like each other a lot to want to breed together. I've been focusing on Eevees, but any Pokemon in the same egg group can breed. They always take after the mother, though, so you need to make sure the mother is the species you want.

[looneylovegood]

After the mother. Oh, that is interesting. I'll have to remember that. Thank you.

[Luna smiled at the Eevee.]

Are Eevees your favorite? This one is called a Spinda. Apparently, they have various spot patterns.

[crystalmaster]

Sure.

[Isla the Eevee warbles happily. Evie and Evan continue to lay on Radley's lap.]

They've definitely become one of my favorites, but I love all my Pokemon. I haven't ever seen a Spinda before. That's cute.

[looneylovegood]

It resembles a rabbit in a way, which is kind of like my Patronus. [Really. This was a different world, right? Did it matter if she talked about magic spells? Probably not. She was okay with that.] The Slowpokes are cute, too. I've been in Azalea for a couple of days now, and part of me almost doesn't want to leave.

[crystalmaster]

It does look like a rabbit.

... Patronus?

Azalea's a popular place. I need to get over there and check it out.

[looneylovegood]

Mm-hm. It's something creating using a Patronus charm. A protective spell. Mine happens to look like a rabbit when I can summon a full one. It's very advanced magic, though. It can be hard to learn.

[She smiled at the idea of someone else visiting the Slowpokes.]

Oh, yes. And you should definitely visit the Slowpoke well while you're here. It's a little chilly inside, so I do recommend having a light jumper, but spending time with the Slowpokes is very relaxing.

[crystalmaster]

That sounds pretty cool.

[Another magic user? Interesting.]

I'll do that. They sure seem like the kind of Pokemon who know how to relax. That's usually the opposite of Evie here.

[Today Evie just wants to stay close to Radley instead of romping and playing.]

[looneylovegood]

I haven't met any truly excitable Pokémon, yet, but I imagine it's a lot like having a puppy or a kitten.

[crystalmaster]

Pretty much! Eevees are closer to cats in personality, I think, but there's some dog traits in there too.

[looneylovegood]

It's strange. There are so many creatures here who are so much more fantasy like and magical than a standard Muggle pet. Yet, they still have others that seem so much more like what most people would have for a pet.

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, the Pokemon are pretty varied.... Uh, a Muggle?

[looneylovegood]

[Ah, right... the magic thing again.]

Yes. That's what wizards and witches call people with no magic. Well, people outside of magical families with no magic.

[crystalmaster]

... Oh. So you're from a magical world?

[Interesting. Another one....]

[looneylovegood]

Mm-hm. I've seen a few people here who are from the same one.

[crystalmaster]

That's great! I'm glad you know people here from home.

[He still wished his friends from home could come.]

[looneylovegood]

It certainly helps to make it an easier adjustment.

[She considered his statement for a moment.]

Do you have anyone familiar here?

[crystalmaster]

I found some people from home, but we didn't know each other before. There's no one here I actually knew before.

[looneylovegood]

Oh. [Luna nodded slightly.] Well, that does sound a bit lonely. But, it is a good opportunity to meet new people.

[crystalmaster]

It's definitely good for that.

[His Pokemon all start warbling and he laughs.]

Hey, we can't talk!

[looneylovegood]

[Ella perked up from behind Luna at the noise in the background. "Spin?" Luna just smiled a little.]

Are you able to understand what you're Pokémon are saying?

[crystalmaster]

[The Eevees settle down and Evie looks to Ella. "Eevee-vee!"]

Well, not word for word, but I can often get the gist of what they mean. They seem to understand me too.

[looneylovegood]

I have noticed they seem to understand me. [Luna nodded at that.] They're quite perceptive. [Luna patted Ella on the head. "Spiiiin." The rabbit-like creature smiled.] I supposed I'm still learning how they communicate with us, though.

[crystalmaster]

They sure are. It's fascinating. This pretty girl actually figured out how to type and she entered me in a silly contest once.

["Vee!" Evie says with pride as Radley pets her.]

A lot of other people's Pokemon did the same thing too.

[looneylovegood]

Goodness. I didn't think they could be that capable. [She glanced down at Ella, eyeing the stubby little paws.] Even without proper fingers?

[crystalmaster]

Yeah, it was pretty something. I watched her peck out the keys with her little toes.
