Having seen several mentions of the upcoming holiday season already, I suppose this is as prudent a time as any to raise awareness of Souji-kun's Breeding Centre and Foster Home for Pokemon — both fine places for anyone looking to acquire a new Pokemon. Though he's regrettably no longer among us, his legacy lives on in the form of these two institutions, and the very capable Saber-san has graciously taken up the charge of overseeing them in his absence. I myself can vouch for the reputability of the organizations, and likewise would personally recommend them to any trainers interested in augmenting their rosters or finding gifts for a friend or acquaintance.

Of the two, I'd particularly emphasize the existence of the Foster Home. There are many benefits to raising a Pokemon from hatching, of course, but there's likewise something undeniably rewarding about being the person to provide a good home for a stray in need. ~~No matter what that stray might be.~~

That said, speaking of finding good homes for Pokemon needing one, it seems I have some eggs of my own to contend with. Anyone interested in acquiring one, please inquire within; I'll attach the list of types available to this post.

[OOC: And here is the IC post for this batch of eggs! There are still some left, so feel free to cruise on over and snag one!]

[...wait, did he just —]

You're interested in the Shuckles?

[He has the same reaction about Shellos, man, it's okay.]

It wouldn't actually be for me. A friend of mine wanted one a while back, but no one answered his ad on the network. I haven't had the time to go to Cianwood and pick one up for him.

I'm certainly not complaining; it's simply that Quag's progeny never generally draw much interest, being that they're...well. Shuckles. Quite frankly, I wouldn't even have him myself, save for the fact that my Quagsire adopted him several months back and now refuses to give him up.

So yes, by all means, take all of them if you care to. And the Druddigon I can vouch for as an excellent specimen, as well.

Works for me.

Thanks.

[Successful gift buying is successful!]

Of course, and please do enjoy it.

Have you noticed anything special in particular about Shuckles? I didn't actually ask why he wanted one and I've only seen them from an aerial view.

No temperament issues with the egg's parents? I'll work with whatever I get, but I'm curious.

[That last egg from Yagyuu hadn't turned out quite like he expected, after all.]

The most notable thing I can think of is their shell — if you put a berry inside a Shuckle and let it ferment, eventually it will turn into a potion. There's something about the environment within the holes in their shell that produces those chemical processes. But other than that, they're actually fairly boring; they're not particularly intelligent, nor are they very adept fighters.

Were you acquainted with Nero-kun? The mother is his Victrix; she's stubborn, certainly, but not unpleasant, and a certain amount of stubbornness isn't necessarily a bad thing in a dragon, anyway. The sire was a Deino I acquired in a trade a while back.

[Well, that definitely explained that. Chemical processes are right up Albert's alley.]

It sounds like it's pretty useful, though. I can sort of see why he'd want one.

Not really, but I once bought an egg from a sale you two did together. That was actually why I was wondering. The Charmander I got is very stubborn, especially when it comes to sleeping.

many of my friends have been here for a while
so theyve helped me out a lot!
i think john and rose and jade have been here longest

Ah, yes, that's right. That would've been Red, and I do recall she was quite the troublemaker on Nero-kun's roster. And with Narcissus as a father, I can hardly find it surprising you had trouble with that one.

This one ought to be better-tempered, if it's any consolation.

John and Rose and Jade? There wouldn't happen to be a fourth by the name of Dave, would there?

dave strider yes!
so youre familiar with them

I was acquainted with Strider-kun for a period, yes. He rather courteously left me a pair of Eeveelutions upon his departure.

yes the dave who is here has not been here as long as john and rose
i myself have apparently been here twice before although i do not remember this
ive even got one of the pokemon a previous me originally had at this point

He's come back? I hadn't realized. I suppose the courteous thing to do would be to offer him his roster members back as well, but I admit by now they've become so attached to ones of my own that I'd almost hate to separate them.

he has!
hes in goldenrod with the rest of us currently
and i think you should do whatever you think best for the pokemon
im sure dave would agree :)

Are you? Well, that solves another problem rather neatly as well. I can deliver your Bulbasaur in person, and save my Pidgeot a trip.

It is nicer to have a dragon that actually wants to do something with you, instead of ignoring you completely, so that's something.

Are you going to be charging for them this time?

youre in goldenrod as well then?
im staying at the inn :)
i can meet you anywhere you like though

I hadn't planned on it, though I certainly won't refuse you if you're determined to offer me money.

I will suggest, as far as the Druddigon is concerned, that you watch out for a possible tendency to hug. Its mother has an unfortunate inclination toward rough, sandpapery embraces.

I live here, in a house next to the Breeding Centre. We've been neighbors more than a year now, and I'm keeping watch over it at the moment as a favor to Saber-san.

Which reminds me, introductions would be in order first. I'm Yagyuu Hiroshi.

I will definitely keep that in mind for when it hatches, thanks.

Since I'm taking more than one, I'd feel better about it if I paid you. Are all the Shuckles left?

As I said, it's not necessary, but I certainly won't stop you. Much obliged.

There's four of them, I believe, and as yet you're the only one to express any interest.

[Five eggs, huh. Yeah, Yagyuu definitely deserves payment. Especially since he can't exactly guarantee the best of homes for the Shuckles, what with Albert's attitude.]

You mentioned the Breeding Centre and the Foster Home. Are you in Goldenrod right now?

I am. I've found I don't move much from the house these days, both because I have little reason to and because managing my roster is so difficult as it is.
