Maybe! I've planned it aaaaaaall out, and I actually would want someone to travel with him, so it wouldn't just be him doing something, in one or two massive posts. But I plan for him to both get an egg, and a Pokémon roughly at the same time, the Pokémon being Joltik, the egg being a Dratini.
I won't spoil it, but as soon as he's back, I'll have him find Linc and talk to him about mono-type trainers, and promptly battle him :P
