Subject: when a mommy dragonite and a daddy dragonite love each other very much...
Warnings: nnnone?

[ good afternoon esco network!! today's video brings youuu...

and then drayton's arm coming into view to scoop this adorable noodle up and focus the camera on his face! which also brings into view the... three other dratinis draped around both himself...

and a very very unimpressed-looking kieran in the background. the dratini kieran is carrying is a cute shade of pink compared to its grey-blue siblings. ]

What's up! Man, we've had a fun couple of days. Turns out that whole Dragon's Gale thing doesn't mess around, even if the dragons aren't locals.

[ there is a slight strain in his cheery tone that might be attributed to the menacing dark aura kieran is giving off behind him while he says all this. ]

Long story short, we've ended up with this bunch'a baby Dratinis on our hands. They're cute as heck, and pretty well-behaved, but any Dragon-type that's gonna spend some time around humans should have some socialising. So we're givin' everyone a rare, excluuusive opportunity to interact with these adorable lil' guys while we, uh, decide what to do with 'em.

[ the dratini he'd picked up at the start makes a pleased trilling noise, one matched by the pink one kieran is holding. drayton smiles, still slightly strained, and lowers the camera so he's just out of frame and begins talking offscreen in hushed, but still audible tones. ]

Man, c'mon, at least say somethin'!

("Say somethin'?? This is your fault anyway! Why should I say anythin'??")

Again, how is this my-- ahh, hold on.

[ the feed ends with a clatter. ]

[ !!!!! ]

My word - aren't your little friends quite charming! To think, dragons were such a strange occurance at home... what a fine opportunity this is.

Did you say they are Dratinis? Are these creatures from your world, young man...?

[ help that icon dont stab the noodles cyrus

drayton's waving casually despite the Aura that kieran continues to exude in the background. the dratini in his arms makes a little noise of hello. ]

Dragon-types are my specialty, so I deal with 'em all the time. These guys are perfect for people just learnin' about dragons now.

[ at the question, he does look a little sheepish. ]

Well, uh, these guys were born here, but they're originally from my world, yeah.

[ it was my first excited icon i could grab ]

How lucky, to have an expert among us! Young man, you must live quite the exciting life to be a dragon tamer. [ these pokemons... incredible ] They're terribly cute, though, I'd not expected them to be lacking... well, feet.

Were you expecting this surprise? I'd imagine not, based on that expression... Ought I be saying congrats on parenthood...?

Haha. Naw, I'm pretty much the least excitin' guy out there. But the dragons are my buddies for sure.

[ oh! he turns the camera around slightly, past the still fuming kieran to the two dragonites who are hanging around. one of them waves. ]

Dratini evolves into Dragonair, which is also pretty noodly, but then into Dragonite, like these two. The actual proud parents.

[ ahh... kieran's grumpy face like. immediately provides context, and there's a flicker of amusement that crosses cyrus' face, though it's replaced with fascination when the dragonite waves. ]

My word. This is quite the evolutionary marvel, you know - to become quadripedal! And your friends are quite intelligent, as well, aren't they? [ immediately returning the wave like an excited kid in a candy store ] Hello, there!

It's a pretty drastic change, even for a Dragon-type Pokemon.

[ his voice from offscreen, and then his hand beckoning his own dragonite over. she ambles up happily, one of the dratinis immediately unlatching from Human Mom(?) to hang off of Dragon Mom instead. ]

I'm Drayton, by the way, and this one's my Dragonite. She's been with me since she was a Dratini herself.

[ cute... ]

Drayton, it is a pleasure - I am Professor Cyrus Albright. And to your friend, as well - do they go by other names, or simply by the name of the creatures themselves?

Woah, Prof number two. Can't call you both Prof...

[ he will contemplate this one!!!

dragonite responds with her own dra! in greeting, happy to be introduced. ]

Some Pokemon trainers use nicknames for their Pokemon, some don't. They're happy to respond to their species names or a given name. Mine aren't nicknamed, but I'm not opposed to other people giving 'em shorthand names and stuff.

Ahh... you're familiar with Professor Turo, I take it! From the same realm, even? That does make sense.

[ these pokemons. he gets like way too close to the camera, peering in fascination at the screen. ]

And that's the convention, is it... fascinating. I've hardly seen a dragon so utterly friendly - why, the monsterologists at the academy would be swooning. How long have you had your dear companions?

Yup. We're not from the same region, though. The Prof's from Paldea, and I'm from Unova. They're pretty far apart.

[ drayton leans on his pokemon's side, giving the baby dratini a pet while he's at it. people being introduced to pokemon is always kind of nice. ]

Not all dragons are this friendly, I'll tell ya. Wild Dragon-types can be pretty dangerous, depending on the species. The Dratini line here is an exception, but they're rare to spot in the wild. [ nodding. he knows dragons. ] My family's all dragon tamers, so I grew up with 'em. Archaludon, Kingdra and Dragonite here've been with me since I was real small, but I've got a whole bunch of buddies from all points of my life.
