[Video / Action for Lake of Rage]

[whateveryoueatliveitspart]

[54 Combee eggs. That's what this video opens on. Someone who's been to the Lake of Rage before might recognize them as being in the cheapest cabin in the resort, but they fill so much of the shot that it's hard to see anything else besides the eggs and the Vespiquen and Combee who are responsible for filling up Apollo's PC box nearly to capacity over the last several months.

Apollo's voice comes from behind the camera.]

Vespiquen and Combee have been getting ready to start a hive for a while now, so they've been laying eggs and having me keep them in the PC. Vespiquen decided that they had enough eggs now, so she's going to let them hatch. She wanted to show them to everyone first though.

[Vespiquen speaks up in pokéspeak.]

With my trainer's assistance I have amassed a vast starting population for my future domain! Surely no other Vespiquen in history has presided over so many children at their hive's inception! I doubt that any of you watching this will have their offspring turn out even remotely as impressive as mine!

[Apollo isn't going to bother translating that for the non-Pokémon who are watching. Vespiquen doesn't need her ego stroked. A question occurs to him though, one that he had assumed the answer to already but hadn't actually asked yet.]

These eggs are all going to hatch at around the same time, right?

They will.

I should make sure that they all have food waiting for them then. You two are going to be busy.

... That is a lot of eggs, says Ruskin. [The scaled man is translating for his female Seviper curled partially on his lap, both of whom are fairly impressed. There is an Ekans sunbathing on the bench behind him, completely uninterested.]

[ Awkward silence. ]

Earplugs. [ That's her suggestion. All those buzzing in a confined space won't be good for his ears. ]

[Nagisa's Audino looks impressed - she's actually clapping a little bit. Nagisa herself? She looks worried.]

...I hope nobody around there is allergic to bees...
