Mr Newt, I hope I'm not disturbing you, but I was wondering if it was okay to ask you something.

Video;

[findingbeasts]

Ah, hello Armin.

[Newt smiles his usual skittish looking smile, waving slightly as the Noibat on his shoulder let's out a low sound in greeting.]

You aren't disturbing anything. What can I help you with?

Video;

[schachmeister]

Mr Newt, I hope you don't mind me calling out of the blue, but do you have some free time? There is something I'd like to show you.

[Of course Armin already knows that Newt wants to hear updates on Nemesis, but manners dictate that he should still check if he is available right there and then. Newt probably also has important other things to do.]

[findingbeasts]

[The only thing he's got going on is delving through a library in Ecruteak, Armin. You are definitely not bothering him and it shows as he clicks on his feed and greets the blonde with a warm smile.]

Armin! Yes, of course. I have all the time in the world. What is it you wanted to show me?

[Oh look, there's Ivy, basking near the edge of the Lake of Rage. Don't mind that she's wearing her swim wear, she's trying to catch the last of the summer sun before the season changes and her seasonal effective disorder kicks in.

As usual, she has a gaggle of various Grass types surrounding her. There's also a Marill trying to teach a poor purple Magikarp how to swim effectively (though mostly appears to be teasing the poor thing).]

Newt, my dear. I was hoping you could assist me with something?

[findingbeasts]

[It's probably a good thing that Newt isn't looking at the video right away since it's actually Queenie that answers the call. She twills in greeting before turning the 'gear to show Newt, the wizard kneeling down in the middle of his campsite to look over--

Yep. Those are eggs.]

Lovely, just lovely--you both must be proud!

[His praise is directed at Merlin, his Staravia companion, and a very lovely Swanna who fluffs herself up rather proudly.

It's the sound of Ivy's voice that gets Newt's attention and he turns with a smile only to balk briefly, his face heating up as he clears his throat and looks down.]

Ah--Miss Isley--Pamela--it--what can I do for you?

[ooc: Backdated to a bit after this conversation.]

[After his earlier conversation with Jean, Armin has been reaching out to people. Like he had told Jean if they wanted to figure out what was going on here, if something was going on here, it was important to have more information. Five people suffering from nightmares could be chalked up to a coincidence. Not a likely one, but still. They all were prone to nightmares, after all. But if more people were suffering from this, especially people who weren't known for having frequent nightmares, the chance that it was a coincidence grew smaller and smaller. And if something was going on, it was important to figure out if it had anything to do with their stay in Fuchsia --so far all the people Armin knew were suffering from nightmares had been in Fuchsia-- or if it was another cause altogether. Mr Newt hadn't stayed in Fuchsia as long as they had, but he had still been there.

Plus, nothing wrong with making sure everybody was all right.

Which is why Armin is calling Newt. He looks a bit pale and tired himself, but there is also something steely in the faint frown on his face. It's his thinking face, the face he always wears when puzzling over a strategy or trying to get to the bottom of something. Newt has mostly seen him be the nerd, but there is a strategist in the boy too.]

Mr Newt, I hope I'm not disturbing you, but do you have a moment? There is something I'd like to ask, if you don't mind.

[findingbeasts]

[Newt had been having strange dreams, he wouldn't deny that, but to call them nightmares would be a stretch. Whatever game the Pokemon responsible were trying to play, it wasn't working on Newt and the Drowzee that had been lurking about their campsite on Mt. Mortar had given up after a few days of nothing.

There just wasn't much that seemed to phase Newt, even in nightmares.

A curious look crosses his face when he sees that look on Armin's, recognizing it as the look one wears when challenged by something.]

No, no, there's nothing to disturb. Just chatting with Cornelius. [Said Oranguru peers at the 'gear curiously before waving at Armin.] What can I help you with?

[toxicodendron_isley]

[Newt is greeted by the familiar smiling face of Ivy.

As usual she's surrounded by a gaggle of various Pokemon. Though she does appear a little... worn down? To be fair, it's most likely due to the lack of restful sleep everyone's been having.]

Newt, my daffodil, how have you been? I've missed your adorable face.

video

[findingbeasts]

[Newt is a bit worn down himself, though it's mostly from traversing about other people's dreams in an attempt to help in whatever way he can.

He manages a smile at the sight of Ivy all the same, a gentle one as Queenie, who's settled beside him, waves at the familiar young woman.]

Pamela, it's very good to hear from you. [A pause as he looks her over.] I am willing to be you've been having just as much fun as the rest of us?

[ A picture is contained in this message. It is of a Pichu, with a clearly carved shiv in a stab motion. She is standing over what looks to be a destroyed flower, with a horrified and furious Floette in the background. ]

She's insane.

What

Why did you give her something like that in the first place??

[keep_surviving]

hey Newt. r these guys urs?

[attached are two pictures; a lil guy & and a big gal]

[findingbeasts]

They very well could be. There are quite a few Joltik living in my suitcase these days. I honestly lost track of how many moved in.

Are they causing you any trouble? I can send Salazar to retrieve them if you'd like me to.

package

[toxicodendron_isley]

Your Christmas present has arrived Newt!
Happy Holidays to you, my petal~ xx

You'll be receiving a large box with some goodies inside. On the top is a holiday card, though it's more of a flirty love letter (made of recycled paper!) filled with compliments and lipstick marks just to make him blush.

The bulk of the box seems to come from the huge collection of berries and special homemade juices/smoothies for all his Pokemon.

For Newt himself there's a silver ring shaped into a dragon, rather simplistic in design. It's accompanied by a shirt which she found fitting when browsing the market.

Finally, Newt's main present; using the careful clippings of a tree, paint and preserve, Ivy has meticulously crafted a likeness of Pickett into a lapel pin, designed to look like its peeking from around the fold of his collar or the depth of his pocket depending on his preference of placement.

[findingbeasts]

Newt's response to the gift is going to come in the form of a package of his own. It's delivered by Salazar the Noivern who's accompanied by Queenie the Audino on his back, the pair greeting Ivy with happy/excited noises.

The package, like hers, contains quite a bit of goodies for her Pokemon that Queenie and her helpers had made. There's also tons of paw-made cards that all the little ones put together!

For Pamela there are several items: A silver necklace with two leaves that Newt had made in Pewter City. A book on all Herbology related things from his world - what he can remember, of course, since that was never really his forte! It covers all sorts of plant-creatures as well as what various magical plants are used for. And lastly there is a slightly over-sized knit sweater in a deep, emerald green with thumb holes in the sleeves. The inside is lined with an extra layer of flannel for extra warmth!

There's also a letter that Newt clearly took quite a bit of time on because he wanted to express how much her gifts meant to him.

My dearest Pamela,

Thank you very much for the kind gifts you've given me. The ring and the shirt were already wonderful enough but the lapel pin you made to look like Pickett..

I can promise you that I have no plans of taking it off anytime soon.

Words cannot properly express just how much the gifts mean to me and I can only hope that you enjoy these gifts in return. I also would like to take you to dinner sometime if you would allow it as another means of thanking you.

-Newt

[ Ash was used to having trouble with his Pokemon in various ways, but he would always admit that he wasn't educated on the matter. He wasn't a pokebiologist or a vet or anything like that. But he also didn't know who else to really approach about such matters. Most people in this world were like him; unprofessionals who were just sort of thrown into this world with a pokeball and a pat on the back.

But he knew that Newt was some kind of animal specialist from where he came from. God knows, Armin gushed about his abilities. So it seemed sensible to call up and ask. Ash liked to think he had enough sense to toss any bad advice out the window. He was sitting in his armchair, curled up with Macavity on his lap. ]

Ur, hey Newt! Sorry for ringing up outta the blue, but I got some questions about some Pokemon of mine who are worrying me a little or that I need a bit of advice for. Three in particular. But if you're busy then I can ask another time or whatever.

[When Newt appears on his head he looks extremely disheveled, flour turning his hair white in areas and splotched on his cheeks as well. His sleeves are rolled up and there's a thick scarf around his neck--probably due to the kitchen window being open behind him as Albus the Drampa pokes his head through to see what was going on.

Also in view are Queenie the Audino, who is making what looks to be small pies at the counter, and Malie the Pikachu who is sitting on the counter covered in flour munching on some cookies.]

Hello, Ash. There's no need to apologize, I'm always happy to help. [The young wizard smiles reassuringly before a curious look touches his face.] What seems to be the issue?

[text]

[notvaljean]

[A few days into the new year, Newt will receive a text with an accompanying picture. The picture is a selfie of Jean, grinning widely, with a Drampa's head draped over one shoulder and a little Klefki buzzing over the other one. In the background, Jean's shiny Dhelmise is lurking.]

they hatched today!
please meet Grandmaw Lufkin and Gulliver the Keychain!

[He used your names, Newt! They both have wizardy names!]

[text]

[findingbeasts]

[Jean.

Jean you are just a wonderful being you know that?]

They both look wonderful! So very happy!

Very nice choice in names as well, Jean.

Is that a Dhelmise?

[It takes Diana a while after she brought up the idea of visit for her to actually get down to Azalea. It's not that she doesn't have the ability to warp, it's just organizing to get The Pack down there. True, she could recall them into the system for a moment while she zipped down to the forest then released them. But given Toni, her main reason for swinging by, would probably not take that well, she'd had to go about things the long way. (Namely, telling The Pack to make their way to Azalea and dropping in to check on them every time they passed a city.)

She has Isla her Sylveon with her, who trots loyally at her side. She thought it one of her better choices since she was already bringing a large amount of Pokemon to this meeting. Isla was calm and got along with The Pack, she wouldn't be getting in the way like Diana's attention seeking main crew. She also has Petey in her arms as Newt seemed to like the Espurr well enough and really Diana just needed to keep an eye on him most days.

Then, of course, there's The Pack. Diana glances over her shoulder at them. The majority are a good few paces back, under Lana's command she assumes, knowing Diana is still unsure when surrounded by the whole group. Lana's just behind her though, pace casual. Diana wonders if Newt will be surprised, the number had increased by about 10 (she thinks?) since he last saw them. July's 'pups' were no longer that, now grown Rockruff and replaced by new puppies of varying breeds that stumbled and tripped around their parent's long legs as they walked.

She spots the little cottage at the forest's edge and heads towards it. When Lana stops at what Diana can only assume is what her dog sees as 'the boarder' she stops too and calls out.]

Hello? Newt? You home?

[Lana assists with a short bark of announcement and The Pack hush the excited yips of pups who attempt to join in.]

[findingbeasts]

[Newt was definitely going to be surprised by the sheer numbers but it was going to be a pleasant surprised. He had a very big soft spot for the pack as it was so seeing so many of them was going to be a delight!

The cottage, despite it being the middle of winter, is bustling with life when the group approaches. A number of flying type Pokemon are settled on the perches decorating the roof, chatting among themselves and fluffed up to stay warm. A small group of young Pokemon play in the front yard, so to speak, under the watchful eye of Queenie the Audino. The pond just behind the cottage seems to be hosting a party as the Lapras sisters play, a few other water Pokemon joining in the fun. None of them seem all that bothered by the approaching group and Queenie let's out a delighted welcome call when she realizes who it is--

And then there's Poly.

The Sylveon appears on the porch, slipping out of a pet door Newt had installed on the main door, fleshy-tendrils flicking about. She doesn't look all that impressed at the sight before her and stomps a paw with a huff. Any protest she might have is silenced by Roxy slipping out the door next, the Lycanroc standing over the haughty fairy-type as her tail wags excitedly.]

Mom! [She let's out an excited bark and darts off the porch to go greet them, her cheerful greeting alerting Newt who finally makes his way out of the cottage.]

Oh, Diana! Hello--my apologies, please you don't have to stand out there.

[findingbeasts]

[What an energetic young lady..]

Pokemon Contest?

Oh. Yes, I did briefly hear something about that.

[He wasn't paying attention to the broadcast at all.]

I don't think I'll be entering any contest but I will try my best to be there to watch.

Valentines Day!

[toxicodendron_isley]

Good morning, Newt. While you're camped out on Route 47, snuggled in your sleeping bag in the tent you're sharing, Ivy is going to rouse you with some gentle kisses to your lips and freckled cheeks, possibly sliding around to your ear and down your neck if she finds you don't wake fast enough.

"Happy Valentine's, my petal."

Forgive me for not responding before I got stuck on Noct

[findingbeasts]

If there's one good thing that's come out of being on the road with Pamela it's that Newt has become even more comfortable with her. So being woken up like that--okay, so he was still Newt and he still shudders, slowly come out of his dreams, lured into a waking state by each kiss pressed to his cheeks and then his ears and then his neck and--

Oh now hold on.

His eyes crack open and he let's out a soft noise, half protest and half satisfied as he tries to turn towards her.

"Happy Valentine's, Pamela...is it Valentine's already?"

[When Newt answers the phone Diana is looking down the screen like she's on the verge of breaking. You can almost see her screaming from behind her eyes.]

Newt, I need you to help me.

[findingbeasts]

Diana? Are you--what's going on exactly?

[Because she was very clearly not alright.]

[Brithday Present]

[keep_surviving]

[At some point later in the day Newt will get a package delivered by Murkrow. Inside is a Titanium Water Bottle with Midday Lycanroc decal on it. There's also a birthday card, which Diana has made by taking a picture of the giant pack and all it's new puppies.]

Happy Birthday! Sorry I can't make it to your party. Hope you have a good one. I got you something simple because I figured it'd suit you more.

- Diana x

[Letter]

[findingbeasts]

[The Murkrow will return to Diana, after getting spoiled with some treats, with a letter from Newt and a small package containing a slice of cake.]

Diana,

Thank you very much for the card and the gift. It was very thoughtful of you and will definitely go to good use!

I hope the cake makes the trip alright. Please enjoy it!

Sincerely,
Newt

[For someone who is new to the actual idea of working and not just killing things for a living, Sasha is doing rather well on her first day as a deliverygirl for the local Fed-Exeggcute branch. She's quick on her feet, even quicker on these shoes with the wheels on them... what were they called again? Oh, right, rollerblades! There's no actual blades to be seen, but she's gotten used to weirdly named items in this world so it doesn't bother her much.

She's on the last delivery of the morning before her lunch break, the one where she has to stop at a cute little cottage that has a fair handful of varying Pokemon relaxing in the sunshine while a few others seem to be gearing up for a nice wrestling session. Box in one hand, Sasha waves to the Pokemon and then knocks on the door. Hopefully, the recipient is home and she won't have to lug this box back to the office. The faster Sasha can get it out of her hands, the faster she can get a sandwich into her hands.]

» action

[findingbeasts]

[As Sasha knocks on the door she'll find herself flanked by some canines that had seen her approaching and headed towards the porch. Roxy the Midday Lycanroc comes up on her left, tail wagging lazily and ears perked in a friendly manner as she looks at the girl while, on Sasha's right, stands Mopsus the Absol who simply looks curious. They only get a moment to look the girl over, though, because from inside there's a call of "One moment!" followed by the distinct sound of something falling over and some scrambling before the door is opened--

And a Sableye stands there, opal eyes gleaming as she grins widely at Sasha.

Roxy let's out a chuffing bark but the Sableye doesn't seem phased, merely opening and closing a hand in a weird little wave just as the actual owner of the house makes an appearance.]

Niffler! What have I said about startling visitors! [Newt is quick in scooping the little goblin up even as she tries to flee, the wizard sighing as he tucks her under his arm and focuses on Sasha.] My apologies for her, she can be a bit of...have..we've spoken before, have we not?

Video

[sleepallthewayhome]

[There is a confused looking little girl/at least better then she'd been on the ferry/ and she's got a dog pokemon next to her.]

Um...sorry to bother you but.

....Someone sent me one of Creadence's pokemon for some reason, and I can't make the gear connect to his. Do you know where he is?

[Hello Newt and welcome to smol Newt's first experience in someone going home./she has no idea what the no connection thing really means.]

Video

[findingbeasts]

[He'd been so worried about Hermione, so caught up in his own sadness over Credence being gone that he'd completely forgotten about the young girl that his charge had bonded with.

So it's no surprise that when she contacts him, the older Newt looks momentarily shocked before his expression melts into something pained.]

It's..it's no bother at all, Miss Newt, I promise you.

[Must not let voice crack. Must not let voice crack.]

Credence is--he...just as people tend to..appear here at random they..sometimes..sometimes they disappear as well. At random, that is.
