[Well, that sure is the sound of a lot of little baby grass goats bleating in the background. The camera pans around to show several of them trotting playfully around the backyard, their tails flicking and some of them kicking up their hooves as they run.]

Have...have any of you ever seen this many of the same type of Pokemon in one area before? These little guys are all over Goldenrod right now...

[Chihiro has to raise his voice slightly over the din as he turns the Gear back around to face himself, grinning as one of the goats comes up to his side, pushing his nose into his hand. He runs his hand over the top of its head, stopping to scratch behind the ears.]

I have quite a few with me right now...I'm not sure if they are around in other areas, but there are definitely a lot here.

[Actually, it looks like he's...close to becoming a bit overwhelmed with goats here, if he's not careful. It's hard to count how many are in the background there, but it's more than just a couple.

Most of them are playing in the backyard together, but eventually Chihiro starts to try to lead them to where the barn is after his video is done, letting his Arcanine and Mighteyena stay behind them to keep them from darting off and back into the yard again. It's easier said than done...and before long the little goats have scattered again, calling out cheerfully as they hop around Chihiro and back into the grass.]

Fujisaki-san?

[ARE YOU THERE SOMEWHERE AMIDST THE GOATS, FUJISAKI-SAN...

Instinctively, Kirigiri calls out Baskerville, her Houndour, and he appears steadfast at her side in case of...well, the need to goat-herd, frankly.]

...There's so many of them.

[HE IS HERE...SOMEWHERE...It's a bit of a challenge to find a clear space in the grass, but once he does he nods, watching as Hogosha lowers his head and nudges the backside of one of the stray goats.]

There were just one or two, at first...but then more and more started showing up.

[And now there's, like. A million. Roughly.]

I've been trying to get them into the barn, but it's...rather difficult to get them to stay still.

[Arguably, she'd probably be safe with swapping out to "Fujisaki-kun", given that this is their house and there's probably no real issue with it, but they are outside and there are always neighbors and you know, better safe than sorry.]

...They didn't destroy the garden, did they? The one at the side of the house.

[WITH THE...MAN-EATING PLANT...]

Um...I don't think they have. I've been trying to keep them out here in the backyard, but some might have wandered off...

[Like a lot seem to be trying to do now, if they can get past their many canine overseers.]

It would be troublesome if they were to make it over there. I doubt that one particular Leafeon would like it much.

[...]

To say nothing of the plant.

[He nods quickly in agreement.]

I think we should be okay, if we can get them over to the barn. They've been mostly interested in the grass, but I wouldn't put it past them to go explore the garden if they got the chance.

[...We do not want baby goats near the plant.]

...If Naegi-kun were here, I'm sure he'd have an easy time of it.

[Which is an odd thing to say, until you take into consideration that she misses her boyfriend. :c

THAT SAID, she also motions with one gloved hand and Baskerville takes off, helping to maintain a wall between the strange goats and the way across the yard that would lead towards the garden.]

If they're all going in the barn, then you must intend to keep all of them?

[Chihiro watches as Baskerville runs around to keep the goats away from the garden, Hogosha and Cookie working to coax them into a herd again.]

Well, I'm going to ask and see if other trainers might want one, since I don't think they're all over Johto right now. ...but the rest left over I planned on keeping...if you think that would be okay with everyone.

That's very considerate of you.

[A pause.]

It's not as though it'd be the first herd of animals we'd kept around here, certainly.

[He laughs softly, reaching up to brush his hair from his eyes.]

Well...hopefully they won't be breeding, so long as we keep a close eye on them.

[And do they really want to have to build a second barn for two generations of goats?]

With that many goats, I imagine a "close eye" on them is easier said than done.

We may need to post a sentry.

Oh, you think so? What kind of sentry, Kirigiri-san?

...Ishimaru-kun gave me a Misdreavus for my birthday last year.

Something like that...it'd be a good way of covertly watching over them, wouldn't it?

Oh...yes, I think so. Misdreavus is a ghost type, right?

[He's never been too sure about ghost types, mostly because he's never encountered one in person...though John's Rotom seemed nice.

Garry's Banette....not so much.]

It's the first pure-Ghost type in the Dex, yes. The others before it are all dual-typed.

They're also rather...pink.

They're....pink?

At the tips.

That sort of thing...it gives them a cute sort of look.

Oh, I see...

[It's hard to imagine that a ghost- or ghost type, rather- could be cute...but that has him curious to see for himself sometime, if nothing else.]

Well...I think your Misdreavus should be able to watch these Pokemon while they get settled. Hopefully I'll be able to find homes for most of them...then we won't have quite so many to watch over.
