Was there some kind of Johto holiday that I missed? I found another egg when I woke up yesterday and I have no idea where it came from. It's in the box right now so I can't show it but...if anyone is missing an egg, let me know.
[The egg actually belonged to Clubs Deuce but he has no idea. Anyway, now that that's out of the way he can move on to his second order of business. The real reason he made this post. He holds up a small, red thing.]
I got my badge, Karkat so I'm ready to go whenever ev-- [A loud cracking noise cuts him off mid-word.] Oh shit. [He shrugs his backpack off one of his shoulders, reaching back and opening it up, mumbling something to himself as he roots around in his bag for a second.]
I really hope that was the sound of hatching and not breaking...Huh? The hell? [He pulls out a square-ish, beige-ish rock with a crack and two dots on it.] Did my egg seriously just hatch into a rock? Is this thing even al--AHHHHH!!!
[At that exact moment, a purple and green something popped out of the rock with a spirited, cackling "TOMB!!!" causing John to flail backwards, dropping the pokémon in alarm. Though it falls off screen for a second, it appears a moment later. Hello, Johto. Have a cackling Spiritomb face all up in your video feed before the now-trembling video feed is cut off with a squeak by a terrified Lopunny camera-girl.]

Well that doesn't sound too bad. And oh really? That certainly shortens your available ghost-movie-reference names a bit, doesn't it?
[[Yup. She's teasing you.]]
video;
How does that not sound too bad? I'm kind of freaking out a little. I don't like seeing girls cry and I like making them cry even less!
And actually...yes. Yes it does. The list of ghost girls in movies is considerable shorter than--hey! I don't have a naming theme, Rose! We went through this already. [Yeah, he's a little indignant.]
Video;
[[With a careless shrug, she smirked at the second statement.]]
And yet you still first addressed that the list of ghost girls in movies is shorter than that of boys.
video;
And I only did it because I wasn't thinking. It was just...habit. Instinct even, a deeply-conditioned reflex. I had to say it. But that doesn't mean I'm going to name her after anything from a movie.

[Can you see the gears turning in his head, Rose? You can probably hear them at least. He's thinking really hard about this.]
Video;
[[It's okay, John. She will give you all the time you need.]]
video;
[Or 60 of them...61...62...63...]
video;
[[Chuckling, she shuts up now, waiting.]]
video;
...Tera? [He sounds a bit hesitant for some reason.]
Video;
video;
Well I'm not one hundred percent sure if I'll go with it but I was thinking...poltergeist. And not the movie! Just the word! As in a mischievous ghost! Which is a thing that she is. But that's not really a name so I shortened it to Geist. Because that sounds like a pretty cool name for a ghost, right? But it doesn't really sound like a girl's name, so I took the "Ter" from the middle and added an a to the end.
I'm not sure if I really like it or not. Oltera? Terageist? Hmm...maybe if I scramble the letters up more... [It shouldn't be this hard. But it is.]
Video;
...very creative, John. Clever, even.
Though Geist wouldn't be too terribly bad a name. Oltera almost sounds like a Greek letter as well.
video;
Well, what do you think? [He looks at the Spiritomb.] Any of those sound good to you?
Spir!
Right okay...um let's try it this way? Oltera? [She narrows her eyes and just stares at him, clearly displeased.]
Okay, not that one. How about Tera? [A jagged smile and a happy Spiiii!]
Alright then, Tera it--what?! Why are you looking at me like that? [Frown, John. FROWN. Your pokemon is still not satisfied!]
Spiritomb!
...Geist? [And now she's happy again!] Well which one?!
Tomb tomb!
Tera-Geist?
SPIIIRRRRRRRIIIII!!! [Seems she approves, if the fact that she's nuzzling John is any indication. Ghosts can be affectionate too! And now John's just giggling.]
Alright, okay. Tera-Geist it is.
Video;
video;
Hehe...what?
Video;
Is that her name then?
video;
And that seems to be what she wants it to be so...that's what it is! Pfftt, maybe I should call her TG every once in a while. Dave would probably get a kick out of that.
Video;
"How sweet of you, Egbert, naming a Pokemon after me."
video;
[He goes to scratch her chin...wait she doesn't...okay. Um...head pat? Yeah okay, that kind of works.]
This is just a funny coincidence.
Video;
[[Another chuckle, followed by a shake of her head.]]
Good, though. Prick is enough Dave-like Pokemon for me.

It's just as tempting as delving into yours is.
