Well now - it seemed a lot of people had their eggs hatch before him. Laguna had gotten a bit worried - the one he's gotten from the breeding center hadn't even hatched yet!

[Hahaha... yup, it's his birthday. He's just talking to himself, recording a bit of the slightly snowy Cherrygrove enviroment. Until--]

Woah!

[The video suddenly turned off, the 'gear dropping. Why? Well, Laguna just felt something shaking in his bag. A few moments later, he's suddenly swarmed by Pokemon! And, well, see the picture - the gear seems to have fallen into the sand in just the right place. Lucky!!!]



Looks like they were waiting for each other, doesn't it? All three of them... Cecil, looks like your Litwick hatched, too! And little Leon, and...
