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!]

[ But Indy likes hassling! But yeah if she glares at him he'll cackle and back off a bit. He's not mean-spirited, he just enjoys trolling. ]

I am! Especially adventurologist ones - I mean, adventurer and slash or archaeologists. Like Indy! It was something of a childhood dream of mine.

[ Aradia gives Lady a little nod/wave combo. ] Lady - it's nice to meet you.

[ She didn't catch that reference. ]

[Ugh, it's like Hirochii all over again, except competent. Which is probably more like Niou-kun, really, which is...shit, there he goes being all nostalgic, now. Fucking Ghost Pokemon.]

I see. I admit, they're not my choice of favorite, but my teammates have certainly ensured that I've seen a fair number of them anyway. And while we're on the topic of Pokemon, here, this is the Bulbasaur egg you asked for.

[He offers it obligingly.]

Lady is the first Pokemon I ever hatched. Raising her has been rewarding, to say the least; I hope you'll find your Bulbasaur equally so.

Oh! [ She'll take it carefully, and will deposit it in the egg sling she brought just for this purpose. Yes, this sling has seen a fair amount of use. And there might be another ghost pokemon huddled within - namely a Litwick, fully prepared to huddle on the egg and cut down the hatching time for the next few days.

She has a thing for ghosts. ] Thank you so much! I'll be certain to take care of it.

[ Aradia eyes Lady with renewed interest. ] She was hatched? I do think it's rather rewarding - the training and the hatching, I mean. It feels useful!

[Once the egg is sufficiently handed off, Yagyuu bends down and scoops Lady into his arms, which sets her purring and nuzzling happily — and also leaves him feeling a little more reassured about the whole HOSHIT THAT'S A GHOST RIGHT THERE thing, because Lady is like a fuzzy psychic shield who will not allow a single perfect hair on her beloved's head to ever come to harm.]

She was. I bred her myself, from a pair of my teammates' Pokemon. I later inherited her mother, actually, when one of them departed Johto entirely, but Lady is the one I've had longest, and in some ways she's the most significant, as she's the one who is truly mine.

[She also responds well to flattery and Yagyuu knows how to keep His Laydeez happy.]

Ah...I've only recently inherited any pokemon myself. [ And she's only been in Johto just shy of a month. ] Although I also re-inherited pokemon that I apparently left behind before? They're...very strong.

[ She has no idea what to do with them since the levels of pokemon around the town aren't really... comparable. Aradia's a little worried they might get bored. ] Are you a breeder, then?

I've had an experience like that several times before — inheriting members of other people's rosters, that is. Your Bulbasaur's sire, for example, was my teammate's starter who fell into my care after he left.

[And when you figure at one point he had more than twenty castmates and now he's down to about one...]

That's the designation I was given, yes. I've found it rewarding enough.

Mm, my friends said people from my world come and go fairly quickly sometimes. [ They can't be used to it, really, but they've...acclimated, maybe that's the word she wants. It's weird to think about, and Aradia doesn't relish seeing any more of her friends leaving, although it's likely inevitable. ]

I've been enjoying it so far, too, really! And one of my trainer friends - Jake English - said I could utilize his roster for breeding matches, so I think that will help widen my pool somewhat?

It will, yes. Every trainer and breeder here has a total limit of fifty-four Pokemon that they can keep, between their roster and their PC. Having his roster at your disposal will widen your pool to a possible hundred and eight.

[Thus speaks the guy who's hit his box limit, whoops. GDI, people taking off and leaving him shit.]

There are some particularly creative matches you can come up with, if you find the right combination.

And further contracts with people in terms of breeding could widen it further! It's just a matter of finding people who would be willing to work with me, really.
