[ It doesn't take long for Kilgharrah to locate Shirou, having been trained for years for deliveries. So landing in front of him is a giant dragon Pokemon with a blue scarf wrapped around his neck and in hand, a package!

It's a Honedge Egg with a note with proper care instructions. ]

...Uh.

Your dragon just gave me an egg.

[ HE'S SO LOST EVEN WITH THE PROPER CARE INSTRUCTIONS. ]

[ Does he... not like the gift? Silently fretting, Saber tries to maintain her composure long enough to explain her actions. ]

As a newcomer, it is important for you to bolster your team at an early age. Your Pokemon will grow with you, Shirou.

...You mean they actually hatch from eggs?

[ He'd expected something along the lines of them either giving birth or breaking off to make other instances of themselves, like his own Klink, probably. ]

Even this guy?

[ speak of the devil and there's his Klink floating behind him as it stared at the lady on the screen with a curious look. ]

Yes. I cannot provide proper reasoning, but all Pokemon are born from eggs.

[ It'll take him a while to get used to it. ] Even if it makes no sense. In this you can trust me.

[ Scratching the back of his head, he's going to just sigh. He thought he was getting the hang of this training thing, having fainted a few trainers already.

But this... He's not exactly the best choice for—

A flicker of flame passed through his mind and he flinched internally. ]

I guess I'll do my best to raise this kid, then. It'd be only right for its parents, right? Thanks, Saber.

I think once the egg hatches you will feel right at home with training a Pokemon of that caliber.

[ She's so confident in his ability to do this. ] It will take less than a week for it to hatch. Keep it warm during your travels and it will hatch even quicker.

[ That was vaguely cryptic, but if Saber insists, then it'd probably be something that's really easy to train. ]

Will do. Oh, and stay safe, alright?

[ even if they're not traveling together, it's only right for him to say these kind of things anyways. ]

I shall say the same to you, Shirou. Stay safe and stay warm.

[ Smiling just a bit. ] Shirou, I have lived here for many years. If you feel as though you need guidance...

Yeah, I'll definitely ask, don't worry, Saber.

[ There's a bright smile from him. It's rare for him to be in this good of a mood, but the relief he had from getting to meet her again is still in force. ]

[ He's such a ~~love~~ idealstruck kind of guy, isn't he?? ]

When will we be able to see each other again? [ Turns out she's the one who can't wait to see him in person.

Imagine that. ]

...Oh. Er...

[ He seems to think for a bit. He's currently making progress from Cherrygrove at a good rate, so he's not really sure on when he'd be close enough to not burden her for a meeting. ]

I'm currently heading towards Violet City. It'd depend on your plans in the future, I suppose.

I have been traveling with Lancer who has decided to take on the gym leaders himself. Once my own team has been raised accordingly, I shall do the same.

[ Pausing to think that over. ] If we were to have you join us, we could circle back around and start at the weakest gym leader to progress together.

...Are you sure you won't be bothering Lancer with this?

[ Lancer is a generally laid back guy, but he's not sure that he's the type to double back in order to just... help him out too.

Well, he struck him more as a loner type.

And a hopeless Casanova at that. ]

[ Isn't Shirou the least bit concerned about Saber traveling alone with a man like that? There's no telling what he has her doing. ]

Lancer has been here a great deal longer than most.

There is little that bothers him. He may even thank you for the excuse to travel.

Ah...

[ wait, she's been here for a while, Lancer's been here for a while...

and they travel together so...

nah. he's not that sharp to put two and two together. ]

Did you two get closer or something?

[ So here's the two and one question instead. ]

Is that not natural for allies? We have traveling together for some time and before that, we lived together while managing the same business.

[ Yes, Saber managed a business. ] This world has... been a long one for me, Shirou.

...

[ He's heard from Atsuro that people can stay here for a really long time, so he's not that surprised at this.

He supposes this world does have its advantage at times. ]

I know, and like I said earlier on, I'm glad to see you happy here, Saber.
