It had been a long time since Miss Lulu had watched the Fizzytopian news. Even if the state of affairs in the country were relatively stable nowadays, it always seemed to her that the media focused on the very worst aspects of current events. The negativity was not good for the babies, she had reasoned... but was it really the babies she was protecting, or herself?
Regardless of her motivation to avoid keeping up to date on news and politics, she could no longer insist on ignorance when the very Hatchery that had become her personal bubble was now front and center in the headlines. Fortunately, the coverage is benign enough that she feels comfortable having three little ones present in the lobby with her - hatchlings which she had agreed to care for while Dr. Newman was away (though he had not mentioned the reason to her, which piqued her curiosity somewhat). They all watch the lobby television as the anchor dramatically asks the viewers, "Will the lessons learned from the Egg House be enough to get this proposal approved by the Elite?" Miss Lulu sighs, patting the head of the bird Pokemon that had settled beside her. The scandal of the old Egg House was still fresh in everyone's minds, long after the government that had endorsed it was gone. Trainers were outraged upon finding out that the massive establishment, which doled eggs out to registered trainers at an alarming rate, was using... less than ethical methods to keep up the supply to meet demand. The Pokerights violations were something Miss Lulu didn't like to think about, and even though she herself had a hand in the legislation that put an end to unsustainable egg supply and informed the environmentally friendly and safe ways which the Birthday Bubbles Bash Venue now utilized to make trainer dreams come true, she had to admit, silently to herself, that she had skimmed a lot of the reports on the Egg House without reading them in detail, as they made her feel dizzy and sick. Miss Lulu, of course, would fight to the bitter end to prevent going back to the old ways... but there were compelling arguments to relax the strict controls the new Elite had sanctioned. If the Birthday Bubbles Bash Venue was successful in sustainable egg distribution, why couldn't the Hatchery do the same? If the legislation passed, there would be many difficult days and long nights ahead. Applications would need to be filled for additional supplies. They would need more incubators. More Pokefood. They'd have to double their stock of medicines. They would need - Miss Lulu's eyes light up with the sudden realization. They would need help. What if... and this was entirely hypothetical, of course... but what if an application for a Pokemon assistant just so happened to slip into the pile of papers Miss Lulu would have to fill out? Miss Lulu turns to her three TV buddies during the commercial break. The little bird and the fiery larva stuff their faces with Pokefood and chat with each other in Pokespeak. Miss Lulu notices that the dark type among them has a strange expression on her face. When the Pokemon notices Miss Lulu looking at her, however, she shakes her furry head and tries to pretend nothing is wrong. Miss Lulu sighs, and tries to convince herself that the baby's ruby-eyed expression of worry was just a figment of her imagination. But the Hatchery Attendant had done a lot of research, and she knew this species very well... That expression undeniably belonged to a Pokemon who could sense incoming disaster. --- Naru has hatched a Lv.1 Male Larvesta.

The talk going around infuriated him. For a while, Dr. Newman truly believed he was making some progress in his career - but now, as it turned out, there was the abhorrent idea floating around that a change in legislation was eminent, allowing Trainers to forego their rights to breeding offsprings in exchange for random Pokemon eggs. In short, not only was he looking at the possibility of his service becoming obsolete, it was actually the other employer of the Hatchery, Miss Lulu, who was about to receive a major boost in solicitations... How did everything turn out this way?!
Flawless execution time and again; a polite demeanour with every single customer; up-to-date backstage paperwork that would drive any lesser mind insane... All this for what? There had been a time, back when he worked under the now-retired Dr. Grossman, when Amadeus Newman doubted himself and his self-worth. A student that never seemed capable of keeping up with his tutor, a shy young man who was uncomfortable around all the lively hatchlings he was tasked with delivering. All he could hold on to back then was the certainty that he was, in fact, a brilliant researcher. But the last year had seen him blossom, take over the Hatchery from his Tutor and assert himself as the authority on Pokemon Breeding in all of Fizzytopia. His ego had grown proportionately, but in his perspective, not excessively - he had earned every accolade, the right to commandeer the facility and the respect of the scientific community. But it seems all those ingrates care about is some stupid disposable lottery game, randomness for the sake of randomness. Without a shadow of a doubt, 90% of the Pokemon they hatch from their precious Enigma Eggs will be discarded, traded away for sweets and pocket change. It's... revolting! He had to calm himself. He was not out of a job yet, and there was a baby dragon yet to deliver to its future caretaker. He had to remain professional - he couldn't throw it all away now. Because even he wasn't needed in Fizzytopia anymore, he knew his services would be well put to use somewhere else. He was Dr. Amadeus Newman, and he would not be overlooked. "Here you are, your egg," he said politely as he approached the counter, carrying the heavy incubation pod in his arms. "I will leave you to witness the miracle of life in peace. Hope to see you again soon." With that, he bowed out and returned to his room in the back of the Hatchery. He had a lot of thinking, a lot of planning to do.

Who is that man?...
Newman stood behind the counter, staring at the waiting room where a single person waited. An old, but unreasonably large and muscular man, with a thick white beard and long hair and a sullen, empty look on his face, the elder hadn't so much as addressed Newman as he'd entered the Hatchery. He's been sitting there for two hours... He wasn't about to argue with the gargantuan man, but number 1: why wasn't he wearing a shirt, and number two, if all he wanted was a cup of coffee, why couldn't he go to the nearby cafe instead? Indeed, the old man had simply walked in, paid for a coffee from the vending machine near the counter and sat down in one of the couches, absent-mindedly. And he had indeed been there for the past two hours. Five PokéBalls in his belt... is he waiting for an egg? If so, why doesn't he walk up to me? And I most definitely would remember if he had left any Pokemon with me before, so... Suddenly, the man rose to his feet and slowly walked to the exit. Before opening the door and walking out, he left Newman with a single bit of information, delivered in a deep, raspy voice. "The coffee sucks." The Doctor stood there, incredulous, looking on as Gugenhagen walked out of the Hatchery. Fortunately, almost immediately afterwards, an actual customer walked in, snapping him back to reality. "H-hi! Glad to see you, you've come at just the right time! Please wait while I go get your Egg. Also, uh, the coffee machine doesn't... well, it's not working. Sorry about that."

With the knowledge that Dr. Newman was scheduled to work the front that afternoon, Miss Lulu hadn't so much as lifted her head from her clipboard when the front door opened and shut, followed by the heavy steps of what she had assumed to be a customer. Truthfully, she would have been perfectly content tending to the pair of eggs in the Incubation Room for the rest of the day, leaving the good Doctor to tend to whomever had visited, but after an hour and a half had passed, Miss Lulu felt increasingly unsettled by the fact that she had not heard the person leave... Not even so much as an exchange of words in all of that time. Was the sound of the door just her imagination...?
Driven by curiosity, she had, very quietly, opened the door to the lobby just a bit. She would not want to interrupt the good Doctor, after all, and she was sure that he had everything under control, as always... but it didn't hurt to quickly check. Dr. Newman's eyes were clearly focused on the waiting room, where a surprisingly large, shirtless elder was sitting with a cup of coffee from the old vending machine... Even in the brief moment she examined him, something in that man's expression both intrigued Miss Lulu and filled her with an unspeakable melancholy. It was clear that he did not want to be approached - if he did, he most certainly have engaged Dr. Newman in conversation, or so Miss Lulu reasoned. Far be it from her to disturb the mysterious man's solitude, or Dr. Newman's duties... as quietly as she peered through the door, she retracted from it, carefully pulling it shut so as not to alert either man to her presence. Long after the man had left the waiting room, and Dr. Newman entrusted her with lobby duty, the man's haunted visage burned in Miss Lulu's brain - a mental albatross that hung heavy around her thoughts, though she could not say why she carried him so. She had checked the Hatchery's Logs the following morning, and the only services rendered that day had been to a familiar Fizzytopian trainer with a Male Zorua, not to the man. Why had he even been there in the first place? It was a question Miss Lulu did not have time to dwell on, as those two eggs in the Incubation Room were due to hatch soon, and Dr. Newman had requested her assistance. Assistance... She knew she felt guilty for not taking it upon herself to approach that man - not even trying to say hello - and yet, what good would it have done? It was likely only to annoy him, after all, and she didn't want to step on Dr. Newman's toes, besides. Even still. If that man ever returned... Miss Lulu hoped that she could at least say hello, even if it was not well-received. But before she even attempted saying hello to any trainers or strange men, it was time to bring two beautiful, precious babies in the world, and they deserved the biggest, brightest hello that Miss Lulu could give! Dispelling the clouds in her brain, Miss Lulu would be all sunshine... for the moment, anyhow. --- Maskerade has hatched a Lv.1 Female Lapras with EM Dragon Pulse.

Amelia... The elder's massive open hand held an old, dusty PokéBall. It was hers... but she wasn't around anymore. This PokéBall, and the creature inside, was all that remained after the disaster, the only thing he could remember her by. It had been two months since Yveltal had come... It took everything from me. Amelia... The village, all of them... It had taken him two months to make up his mind, but now, his resolve was unbreakable - he would get his revenge, no matter what. Gods? He revered them at one point. Now, his resentment against the Pokémon called deities was overwhelming. I will find them... and I will do to them what Yveltal did to my people. I may be old, but I will take down as many as I can before death comes for me. Amelia's only Pokémon was a Lapras. It had been an offering from one of the villagers as thanks to the elderly couple for their continued protection; Amelia was no Trainer, but she couldn't bring herself to refuse the gift. Now, ironically, it was all that remained of hers for Gugenhagen to keep. A gift of gratitude for out protection... And yet, I was powerless to stop Solhelm's destruction. I failed them all, and fate would have me be as the only survivor to bear the guilt. He took a deep breath, and left the ruins of his old home. There was nothing to keep him here anymore; he had buried the dead, honed his skills, and all that remained was his burning desire for retribution against the Pokémon of Legend. He took an old rucksack with his few belongings, tossed it over his shoulder and prepared to leave the wreckage that Solhelm had become. As he was about to step out into the wilderness, however, he felt the ground shaking beneath his feet, and loud, rhythmic thuds drawing closer. Turning around, he saw an unexpected old friend. "You... the demon spared you?" An absolutely massive Torterra stood behind him, staring him in the eye. The "Old Tree", as the villagers called it, predated Solhelm itself, and lived nearby; it was regarded as a guardian spirit as much as Helzer, the Volcarona, and the people of Solhelm often sought it out to offer prayers and ask for silent advice. It had somehow survived Yveltal's passing, much like the Volcarona now in Gugenhagen's possession, and for some reason had left its usual resting place to seek out the bitter elder. "My people went to you for prayer and protection. Now, they are all dead." The Torterra merely nodded, a serious, unreadable expression on its ancient face. Gugenhagen, however, seemed to realize the beast's intentions. "... You felt as powerless as I did. Neither of us could have stood up to that demon. But I will make sure it never happens again. I will seek out Yveltal and destroy it. You can either join me or stay here with the dead." The answer was almost immediate - the giant stepped forward, unafraid, telling Gugenhagen it was coming along. The elder turned back around and resumed his path. "... Good." ------------------------------------------- Picking up Brinzer the Lapras and Gotzer the Turtwig, placing each in a PokéBall and leaving me with 1. For record's sake: - Using 32 Candies on Gotzer the Turtwig, raising it to Level 33 and evolving it into Torterra prior to RP introduction - Using 58 Candies on Helzer the Larvesta, raising it to Level 59 and evolving it into Volcarona prior to RP introduction - Evolving Aizer the Level 37 Zorua into Zoroark prior to RP introduction
