It's Summer Time! Streams of crystalline water trickle down the Rookery tower, collecting at the bottom in calm pools filled with water Pokemon and pool toys. To beat the heat, even the eggs have been outfitted with water wing(s) and safety inner tubes to prevent them being bumped too hard or sinking to the bottom of the pool. Instead of aggressive competition, the Pokemon in the pools are happy to share their new wet, eggy, friends, as long as you play some games with them first! Arm-wrestle the Poliwrath, make the Buizel laugh, or play a high-octane game of Spheal-ball. Anything that injects some of that Summer fun into the pool! Roleplay in this thread with you and your Pokemon playing in the water around the Rookery. Once an EGG spawns, post in Mod Requests to have it identified! You may request a type of egg (fire, psychic, etc) or keep it truly random. Respiro

A glistening arc of water flew through the air, refracting the bright sun. Respiro kicked the water again, spraying droplets in all directions. Fun! Miquel hadn't been somewhere like this since he was young. He remembered a trip to Portugal with his family, with his sisters. He'd spent the entire time on the beach, huddled under the beach umbrella with his knees tucked beneath his chin. When he'd mustered up his courage and the tide had gone out, he'd finally managed to build a sandcastle near the shoreline, where the sand was still wet. This place, this Rookery, was like a water park. He'd been here before, last winter— that's how he'd hatched Cetoddle, who was now the colossal Cetitan. He'd been surprised when the big whale had hatched from such a tiny egg. What would he find this time? Respiro pattered around the base of the tower, searching for eggs.

Unfortunately, some Pokemon were already playing with them. Respiro raced up to the Raichu by the pool. The electric-type was currently treating its egg like a beach ball, tossing it back and forth on the shore with a Cyndaquil in a floatie. They stopped their game as he approached, eying him in surprise. Respiro pointed at the egg. <Oh, you want this?> A mischievous gleam seemed to enter Raichu's eye. <Come get it! Cyndaquil, let's play keepaway! Go long!> The mouse took off in the opposite direction, aiming for the far side of the pool farthest away from the Rookery Tower. Respiro didn't understand the words, but he saw the look on the Raichu's face and instinctively understood. A race! A race for the egg! All he had to do was catch it.

Cyndaquil raced ahead of him on all fours, its tiny body propelling itself with fiery agility. Unfortunately, its pool floatie got in the way— Respiro leapt past it, kicking off the ground and soaring high to catch the egg. He got it! He landed, turned to look, and saw Raichu and Cyndaquil were still chasing him. He had to get away! Where should he go? Respiro looked around and saw the Rookery Tower. He didn't even hesitate. He ran straight at the stone wall. Grass and moss grew beneath his feet to lend him traction as he tucked the egg under his chin and clenched fingertips in crumbling mortar, pulling himself up five feet. Raichu and Cyndaquil stopped at the bottom of the wall, craning their heads up at the bird-man as he shimmied away. <Hey! Get back here, no fair!>

Respiro hauled himself up the Rookery wall, aiming for the next terrace. During the winter when he'd been here before, it had been possible to ski down the Rookery Tower. There were many wide, open places where he could run and escape! Unfortunately, those places were now raging rivers. Water flooded down from the Rookery like an endless fountain, starting somewhere at the top (hopefully not in the nest!) and trickling all the way to where the wild Pokemon were playing at the bottom. The eggs down there had probably washed all the way down from the nest. How sad! Respiro pulled himself up and struggled to keep his balance in the waist-deep current. He held the egg tightly in the other arm, vowing not to drop it. Difficult as it was to stand, it was nice and cool in the river. Respiro found himself enjoying the impromptu swim.

Where did it end? If he let go, if his surefoot feet slipped, would he slide all the way back to the bottom? The cries of happy wild Pokemon still trickled up from below. <Respiro, come on down! The water's perfect!> The sound of his own name alerted him, and the little fighter inched his way over to the edge to look down. He did a double-take. Was that his Cetitan down in the pool? He waved one arm at him. All around the white whale, other Pokemon were quickly pulling themselves out of the water, shivering. THe ice-type was probably chilling the entire water system here. Respiro looked back downriver, and saw the stream was full of little floating bits of shell. From...? It dawned on him and he looked down. Fragments of eggshell had come off the egg he was carrying, revealing a set of bright green spikes. The Pokemon inside didn't move—curious, Respiro picked off a few larger pieces of shell, flicking them away into the water, and saw shiny metal underneath. What could it be? <Respiro, come on!> He hesitated.

Immediately, the current caught him. It swept him downstream, downriver, downslope, down, down, down. He slid like a waterslide, delighted, until he reached the end of the tower and the sudden drop in wait. A waterfall! Of course! The world vanished from underneath him as he was carried over the edge and Respiro let out an involuntary squawk, barely able to keep hold of the egg, which slipped from his fingers. His stomach dropped and he fell, fell, fell— His head briefly disappeared under the icy-cold water. Then he broke the surface, gasping, opening his eyes wide. Water streamed down his beak. He could hear Cetitan laughing. <Attaboy! That's having proper fun!> Where was the egg? Respiro looked around for it, still gasping for breath from the impact with the freezing water (which he'd thankfully hit feet-first). He looked around, then finally saw it at the bottom of the pool. Had it sunk? It was made of metal... He took a deep breath and dove, lungs burning, arms and legs flailing. He'd never been a strong swimmer. But he wanted his egg! When next he breached, Respiro was holding Ferroseed, the last of its shell falling away. Ferroseed, the Thorn Seed Pokemon. It absorbs the iron it finds in the rock while clinging to the ceiling. It shoots spikes when in danger. This, he would remember!
