[Another video feed with Ironhide. Though, this time, he seems much more pleased with current events. He's seated on the floor, between his Growlithe, and his Aggron, examining a little green creature busily chewing on his boot toe.]

Huh. Not what I expected. Not sure I mind...

[Yep. His Christmas egg finally hatched. As he sits there, actually, genuinely smirking, the baby pokemon decides it's a good time to climb up one of his big arms, and perch on his shoulder.]

[It's a Scyther. A slightly different color of Scyther...]

I have just the name for you, kid.

[Apparently he's either unaware he turned the 'gear on, or he's feeling in an exceptionally good mood. Because he reaches up to tap the little bug on the nose.]

Best live up to it, Sideswipe.

[At first, it's just Ironhide's face. He's looking out across the way at something, bundled up like a mummy against the cold.]

Huh.

[He turns the 'gear, and shows his Aggron, Egg, apparently having a wrestling contest with a tiny green creature. Egg isn't trying very hard, mostly just shoving the little Pokemon away from him with a foot.]

Why do we even need to bother capturing these creatures, if this place just dumps them on us whenever it sees fit?

[Another, thoughtful, pause.]

Think I will call it... "Green."

[Ironhide you are terrible at naming things.]

[There is an Onix on your screen. An Onix... lounging near the Azalea Pokemon Center in the sun. She's curled up, though, allowing for people to pass by.]

[And turning herself into one seriously epic climbing gym for two little pokemon. One is a fairly unremarkable Squirtle, who has climbed on top of her crest and is apparently pretending to be a flag. The other is a Growlithe.]

[A Growlithe with very stubby little legs and slightly pointed features. ~~A corgi-lithe.~~ She is running up and down the Onix's boulders, barking like the puppy she is, and occasionally rolling off one side of the rocks. This is the best fun ever!]

[There's a boot toe visible in one corner of the screen. Ironhide apparently set the 'gear down and forgot about it while watching this spectacle. The Growlithe, however, has not been so forgetful. She bounds over, and starts licking the camera before the feed cuts as Ironhide's hand comes into frame, and lifting her out of view.]

[Video clicks on to show off Ironhide, sitting out under the stars, an arm draped loosely around Egg the Lairon.]

... Heard a lot about people disappearing, recently. Someone told me they go back home again.

[He pauses, and looks up.]

Does this happen often?

[This should probably be a familiar scene by now, Jhoto. The inside of a Pokemon Center, with someone sprawled out and unconscious in bed, their attentive pokemon watching them the entire time. In this case, it's Egg, curled up in an armored ball, and looking up at his trainer every so often.]

[But nothing seems to be happening. If anything, Egg probably switched the 'gear on by accident, or someone else passing by did. The Lairon huffs, and lays his head back down.]

[...]

[Then, the big, scarred man on the bed starts to stir, muttering something groggily, and holding up a hand to examine it. He scowls.]

[And the feed cuts out -- thanks to Egg scrambling to his feet to greet Ironhide again.]

[Judging from the high angle of the video, someone's Onix got a hold of the pokegear, and is sneakily attempting to film this travesty in the making. We see Ironhide. Walking toward the Gym.]

[This can only end badly.]

[He turns toward the camera -- and the Onix responsible -- and scowls.]

Who gave you that? Put it away!

[After making some ineffective shoo-ing motions, he shakes his head, and continues walking along. There's a low rumble, as Napalm seems to find this amusing. However... as they near the Gym itself, something scuttles across the path.]

What...?

[Understandably, Ironhide's head snaps around to follow it. It's unclear what happens next, as his big, broad back is blocking the view of whatever creature it was. He goes tense, hand slipping into his coat for something -- a pokeball, maybe. The camera bobs around, trying to see over him...]

[... before the old Autobot drops to the ground like a stone, and the tail end of a Shedinja scuttling into a bush.]

[The 'gear plummets to the ground, and an Onix roars. There's a grind of moving boulders before the feed cuts out.]

((ooc: Responses will either be provided by the Onix, or Cliffjumper.))

[What's this? Oh, look, it's Ironhide. And he appears to be training two of his pokemon -- a Teddiursa and an Aron. What's he training them to do, you ask?]

[Well. They appear to be attacking a tree trunk. A tree trunk with a crude stick figure and a spiky logo carved into it. The two pokemon are taking turns practicing their attacks on the tree, while Ironhide paces behind them, barking orders, in true military fashion. His Onix is visible behind the tree, watching curiously as they work. She looks a little scuffed up -- clearly, she hasn't escaped the training regimen either.]

[Eventually, he nods, and steps back.]

Good. Enough.

[That said, Ironhide limps over to his Onix to look her over. While his back is turned, Jaws the Teddiursa looks at Egg the Aron, before growling, and pouncing on it. Egg yips, butting at Jaws, and before you know it, there's a scuffle going on as Jaws bites at Egg, and Egg retaliates in scratches and tackles. It looks as if Egg has the upper hand, with his tough armor and heavier body but... suddenly... there's a bright flash.]

[And instead of a little Teddiursa, Egg is now confronted by a very large, very angry Ursaring. The bear pokemon roars in triumph and takes a menacing step toward Egg. The little Aron squeaks, but holds his ground. And... appears to be tensing up. As if he's concentrating very hard.]

[There's a second flash. By now, Ironhide has turned around, staring in confusion at his pokemon.]

What--

[It would appear that, not to be outdone by his companion, Egg decided to evolve in a fit of pique. Scowling, Ironhide does the only thing he can do, at this point. He recalls the pokemon into their separate pokeballs, and puts a hand to his face.]

... Children. I am dealing with children. Large... animal children.
