[The sight greeting you when John's pokegear clicks on today?]

[Yup. That sure is a freshly-hatched Nosepass sitting in the grass in front of John's legs. They have to be John's legs, because who else in Johto wears bright red shoes with flames on them? Seems for once he's filming his own post.]

So that mysterious egg that I asked about a while back finally hatched. I still have no idea where this thing came from, but I am beginning to think that it belonged to someone who is no longer here. But anyway. Yeah it...hatched into a rock. Again. Though I'm pretty sure there isn't going to be a ghost popping out of this one like last time.

Has anyone seen this kind before? It kind of looks like one of those Easter Island heads. And also my dad... Apparently it's like a natural compass or something? The pokedex made it sound pretty nea-- [He cuts off as the Nosepass suddenly starts glowing and making a strange high-pitched whine-like noise. You know, the kind that might be associated with something that's about to blow up.]

Uh...okay, that's weird. Why is it glowing like... [Realization get] Oh fu--

[The feed clicks off as John (presumably) realizes what's about to happen and runs for cover. To anyone on the end of Route 34 near Goldenrod or somewhere near the entrance of said City, you may or may not have just heard a minor explosion. Depends on how far away you are and how good your hearing is.]

((ooc: The egg originally belonged to Clubs Deuce prior to him leaving Johto. It was his Easter egg, hence why it knows Explosion. Yay egg moves. Also, responses will come in a few hours when I get back from visiting my parents))

[ Rinoa happens to be nearby at the time of the explosion, so she's going to walk over to try and check it out once it seems safe. ]

What was that noise?

[When she walks over, she'll be greeted with the sight of a small, dark-haired boy in a black shirt and jeans, examining the rock pokémon from earlier and muttering to himself. The rock is considerably darker-looking now though.]

How is it not knocked out? I thought explosion was supposed to take it out completely... [He jumps a little when she asks the question, turning around quickly. Apparently he hadn't heard her walk up at all.]

Oh. Sorry about that! That was this little guy here exploding. Was it really that loud?

I was nearby, so I heard the explosion loud and clear! Glad to see you're okay, though.

[ And now just going to be curiously peeking over at that strange Pokémon. ]

I haven't seen one of these before! What's it called?

It's called a Nosepass, apparently. It's the first time that I have ever seen one as well.

A Nosepass? [ Staring more outright now. ] I guess I can see the whole "nose" thing....

Hehe, yeah that part's pretty obvious. It's the "pass" part that I can't...[Lightbulb moment.] Oh wait. Compass. Nosepass. Haha, clever!

[Oh Nintendo of America, you so witty.]

Huh? Does it come with its own compass?

[ She's.....still not getting it, sorry. ]

Oh, no. No, it is a compass. Like a living one. According to the pokédex anyway.

[It's okay, if it were the other way around he probably wouldn't either.]

Oh, okay! I get it now... [ Mostly. ]

That sounds pretty handy, though! Now you shouldn't have any trouble getting from town to town.

Yeah! Shame it didn't hatch before my friends and I went through Ilex forest. Really would have come in handy in there.

[So much getting lost.]

That forest's pretty tricky, isn't it? I'm lucky that my friend was good at navigating....I would have been completely lost on my own.

Yeah, it really was. And I'm fairly certain that I would have been in a similar situation had I been in there on my own. So what's your name miss?

Oh, I'm Rinoa! Who're you?

John, it's very nice to meet you Rinoa.

[He offers a hand to shake.]

[ She shakes his hand! It's actually a pretty good shake. ]

Nice to meet'cha too! And your Nosey-compass, of course.
