[Gordon’s in Violet City finally, but that might be hard to tell at first. His yelling’s probably doing a good job of covering up the background music.]

THIS IS REALLY SOMETHING ELSE. I HAD HEARD THESE THINGS COME FROM EGGS, BUT I HADN’T SEEN IT HAPPEN UNTIL JUST NOW. I’M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS OR WHY THIS EGG WAS DELIVERED TO ME, BUT IT HATCHED.

[In trying to work the Gear, he might’ve ordered an egg under the Breeding Centre’s newbie deal. He knows buttons were pushed and yelling happened, and then eventually an egg was delivered, but the specifics of the conversation are mostly a mystery to Gordon.]

I KNOW IT’S NOT A CAT. IT HAS BLONDE HAIR, AND A PURPLE FACE. ALSO IT SEEMS TO FALL DOWN A LOT. IT DOESN’T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE OTHER POKEMON I HAVE. DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A WHISMUR OR A KRICKETOT.

[He’s been working with the pokédex while out on Route 30. Thankfully, it has text display, so he was able to actually find out what his Pokémon are called.]

I WONDER IF THAT ENCYCLOPEDIA HAS INFORMATION ON THIS THING.

[The pokédex unfortunately has the read aloud function enabled, so Smoochum’s entry is getting broadcast across the PokéGear Connect at maximum volume.]

IT DOES. IT JUST HATCHED BUT EVERYTHING IS IN HERE. THAT’S AMAZING!

[And then quiet. For a couple of minutes at least.]

WOW! DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT? A BUNCH OF BIRDS JUST FLEW BY IN FORMATION. KINDA REMINDS ME OF THE BLUE ANGELS. WHICH ALSO REMINDS ME THAT I NEED TO CALL A CAB. NOT NOW THOUGH. I’VE TAKEN A TEMPORARY JOB IN THE CITY, SO THAT COMES FIRST. BUT SOON.

[He’s just going to assume that the right people will understand that and end the call there. Not to worry, he’s not actually expecting a black and yellow taxi to show up.]

ALSO, MADE IT TO TOWN LAST NIGHT, REID. TOOK ME TEN DAYS TO GET HERE.

[He got turned around a few times.]

I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S HOW LONG IT NORMALLY TAKES OR NOT.

[And that’s the end of the feed!]

YEAH! THE EGG FAIRY! LIKE A TOOTH FAIRY, BUT WITH EGGS. LIKE A GOOD SAMARITAN WHO RANDOMLY GIVES EGGS TO PEOPLE.

[Something like that. It's only a theory though.]

ANYWAY, MOVING ON... WHAT WOULD THESE NOT-CABS BE LIKE? FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD OF THESE!

WHY WOULD A TOOTH FAIRY GIVE STEPS TO PEOPLE?

[He might've misheard that.]

ACCORDING TO ONE OF MY SOURCES, AND THE PICTURE I'VE SEEN, IT LOOKS LIKE AN OWL.

[Oh, he misheard her. Maybe she needs to be louder... She won't answer the first question though, and let him ponder that himself during his spare time.]

HOW DOES THAT WORK? WOULDN'T THAT BE MORE LIKE A JET PLANE THAN A CAB?

[Yes, louder is better. He can actually hear all of that.]

IT WOULD. THAT'S RIGHT. BUT MY FRIEND CALLED IT A TAXI.

[Wait... Owl-shaped... Taxi...]

SIR! ARE YOU SURE THAT YOUR FRIEND DIDN'T MEAN A TAXIDERMIST?

NO. HE'S NOT A TAXIDERMIST. HE'S A FORENSIC ANALYST.

NO, NO! I MEANT, MAYBE WHEN HE SAID "TAXI" HE ACTUALLY MEANT "TAXIDERMIST". MAYBE THAT'S WHY IT'S OWL-SHAPED?

OH.

NO, HE SENT ME A PICTURE OF IT. IT SEEMS TO BE A GIANT OWL. PRETTY SURE IT'S ALIVE TOO. I'M ASSUMING IT'S SOME SORT OF TAXI SERVICE THAT USES GIANT OWLS INSTEAD OF CARS DUE TO LACK OF THEM HERE.

OH. OKAY. THAT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. MAYBE GIANT OWLS ARE MORE EASY TO GET THAN ACTUAL TAXIS...

SO HOW DO WE GET ONE OF THESE OWL CABS?

NO, IT'S A CAB. NOT A CAP. A CAB. LIKE A TAXI CAB.
