So his little ‘side trip’ to Violet was a success, and now he had his own Murkrow to call his own. He was just about ready to set Ivan loose in the Ranch when his computer went off; and he then sat himself down on the chair and then read said email. He was surprised to find out that someone had requested for… “Is this person serious?!” he could only say out of surprise, as they wanted six Murkrows. Wondering why someone would want so many, he sighed, before quickly taking out his mobile phone and sending a certain person a text message. He then tossed his phone on the counter and then looked outside, hoping that Ivan would be up o the successive breedings. The good thing about this was that he was going to get a fair sum out of it, so who was he to argue?
He then heard his phone go off, and snatched it up from the counter and read the message he’d received. At the same time, the ‘transporter’ went off, signaling that there was a delivery; and then he saw that there was a marked Pokeball in it—this had to be it. He knew that the other Murkrow that had arrived was a female; so he was hoping for the best! He then scooped it up and then wondered why she’d named her Murkrow, ‘Mayonaka’. Must be the color… I know it means ‘midnight’ in that language though… he thought with a grin as he walked outside and then whistled a particular bird-call; and with a flurry of wings, he watched as his Vullaby and the recently-acquired Murkrow came over. “Hello Irina, and Ivan. Well, someone wants a breeding… so Iri, can you clear out for a bit? Apparently this one’s a bit of a purist… wants to use two Murkrows,” he said, watching as the anticipative look on his Vullaby’s face changed to one of shock, before huffing and departing.
“Sorry,” he said to the retreating speck flying off in the distance, before turning towards Ivan, who was looking up at him with expectant eyes. “Well, here’s your partner,” he said, before releasing the contents of the Pokeball in a flash of red light; and watched as a female Murkrow came out—“Mayonaka, right? Go with Ivan and do your thing. Make me proud…” he said, chuckling in Ivan’s direction as he watched the two fly off to somewhere on the expansive ranch; and then the waiting game began…

Using Kouji's Male Murkrow (Ivan) and Zuzu's Female Murkrow (Mayonaka). Possible Ability: Prankster (on Ivan) Possible Egg Moves? Idunthinkso
He was very much surprised; since he was hoping against hope that he was only going to get one egg; to his surprise he’d gotten not one, not two, but three eggs! “Hell yes!” he exclaimed, once he’d found out about the results of his breeding attempt for one of his customers. There was a slight catch though: she needed six, he only had three. So he’d sent an email to her stating that he had fifty percent of the required number of Murkrows ready; and was now waiting for an answer when he heard his messaging system go off. He then opened the window and saw that she’d replied—and he breathed a sigh of relief; she was perfectly fine with waiting; and he now decided to turn his business to other more important matters. He’d just gotten an order for another batch of Tyrogue and since the Hitmonlee was now with the ‘Fire Lady’, he knew that it was alright for him to borrow the two Fighting-types anyway.
After sending the message out, his Transporter went off, and two balls dropped into the receiving end once again; and he had a slight suspicion that she wasn’t using the Makuhita… well at least not yet anyway. Wondering if this time it would go off without a hitch, he then strode out and then released the two ‘mons from their Pokeballs; and braced himself to get kicked in the face by the very brutish Hitmonlee that she was now taking care off. To his surprise though, said Hitmonlee now just stared at him; it was as if the aggressive personality had somewhat whittled away and the ‘mon in front of him was now more calm… yet prone to bursting into battle if need be.
“Whoa that’s a surprise. Well anyway, you know what to do… don’t be too hard on her now,” he said, quickly ducking as the expected kick came sailing his way; he then made a hasty exit towards the ‘outhouse’ and then closed the door behind him!
Damn that thing, he still can’t take a joke! The hell! He thought with a surly look on his face.

Now that Kouji was so close to getting the required number of breedings he needed in order to avoid having to buy that pesky license every single time, he realized that the waiting period for the next batch he needed was very much over, and he secretly hoped he wuld get three more from the next result. Thankfully, the ‘Fire Lady’ had not gotten Mayonaka back from him; and he was quite surprised to see that the three offspring from the two Murkrows were becoming quite chummy. He knew that they were going to have to separate soon; and he secretly dreaded that time… and then realized that he had a pending order from someone who wanted a Pineco bred; why not get to it now?
There was just a bit of a problem though—he had no male bugs. That’s when he remembered he had the gender-bending candies… but was debating on whether or not to use them, since he only had three of them, and he was now facepalming—why did he not get more? he was about to throw his hands up in disgust when he heard his computer go off—and there was a message from a fellow breeder—and then his problems were all fixed; because his Transporter was going off, and then quickly dropped a PokeBall in his vicinity. Wondering if it was of the right gender, he then weighed it in his hands, before quickly skidding out to the back and then calling the attention of all ‘mons he needed to talk to.
Two identical Murkrow came flying over right away; followed by what looked like a pine cone—it was Pico, the Pineco that had a special move in its set. “Okay so guys. I need your attention now. Ivan, Mayonaka. Can you go off and give me a repeat performance of last time? The lady wants all six Murkrow now you know,” he said with a pointed grin in his Murkrow’s direction—and he quickly flew off in a certain direction, calling out to the female Murkrow to follow. Now that it was done, he then turned to Pico, and then said, “Well, I need you to do your best. Someone wants a Pineco. And a fellow breeder is even lending me his extra male Bug ‘mon to do so. Come on out…” he trailed off, releasing the PokeBall’s contents in a flash of red light—and another Unova-native ‘mo appeared, it was a Karrablast—and there was a special bonus—for this one had an egg move as well.
Potential investments here. He thought, crouching down and then looking at the Karrablast, and then the Pineco, before saying only this, “Do me proud, okay? If anything goes wrong let me know.”
He then gave the two bugs a bow, before making a mad dash out back to the ‘office’ to wait for the results.

Borrowing Altair's male Karrablast (Quixote) to breed with my Female Pineco (Pico) Possible Ability: Idunthinkso Possible Egg Moves? Endure from the Karrablast / Swift from he Pineco (either or, whichever Gwyneth wants.)
So he’d gotten word that one of his attempts was very successful—and there was another batch f three Murkrow eggs along with it; however the other attempt didn’t go off quite as how he wanted it to be, because he had turned up a dud. Pffffft, what the hell is wrong… he thought as he quickly moved around, laying the three extra Murkrow eggs into incubators—and now secretly dreading the day when the entire ‘family’ would be separated, but he had no choice in the matter, business was business after all. after he’d placed the third and final Murkrow egg in its incubator, he got a message; and quickly picked up his phone and scrolled through it, only to find out that it was the Fire Lady contacting him, asking for a favor to send over one of the ‘hippie mushrooms’ to a fellow Breeder, since the end result flopped.
Much like me… he thought as he quickly called out for the delivery service, and ten minutes later the local guy was rapping at his door, shouting for him to get out of the house and give him the goods otherwise he’d blow the door up—and that he did, before giving the guy a tip—and then returning inside; to now address the problem that he was facing—he had to try again! He then picked up one of his two remaining mushrooms, and then went back out to the Ranch proper and then whistled for Pico’s attention—never had he seen a pine cone look so embarrassed! “Well then,” he began, setting the mushroom down between Pico and Quixote, the Karrablast—“Try not to fail me this time, okay? My rare license all depends on this breeding. Now, go, go!” he said, waving the other ‘mons away who were coming in for a look-see, and then bowing towards the two Bug-types before making a hasty retreat back towards the ‘house’!

you still don't understand the range that you stay in I ain't playin
Oh, the wonders of League employment. Elinda had to admit, there were a lot of perks that came with the job she had accepted at the Frontier - paid for lodging, something better than just cafeteria food, actually being able to afford feeding all of her Pokemon... she was going to miss the rather aimless, decide-on-a-whim traveling lifestyle, but this wasn't the first time she had put down roots and this was at least somewhat close to home. And on the matter of Pokemon...
Normally she wasn't one to start picking them up left and right - she had a team already, and a damned good one at that which she trusted implicitly - but if there was one philosophy that she went by it was to more or less live life to the fullest, without regret. Not something that the woman had pulled off too well over the last decade, but there was still time to change that and there were still Pokemon that she had always wanted to try raising at least once, and thanks to her new found career Elinda could actually afford it, not to mention being able to stake out breeders' ranches and any postings for certain eggs. Thus, when the notice for the Pineco egg went up, the trainer didn't bother to wait, sending an email to the breeder the first chance she got to claim one of the eggs.
Paying 25 dots for the Pineco egg, sent via transaction.
Elinda wasn't the only one to keep her eyes on the breeder's board of the League, although with Ferris it was more so of a check up than anything else; she was one of the League members assigned to the Breeders and the Golden Egg Society, so more often than not she kept a closer eye on all of that to stay with the times and the situations.
It just so happened that a Pokemon that had long elluded her - a Pineco, which evolved into a Steel-type she was dying to study - and that it was a breeder of well-reknown as far as fairness and the quality of eggs went, so she, much like her partner in crime, sent over an email with details on her soon-to-be purchase.
Kouji was a bit surprised to see that the ‘rescue’ attempt had produced not one, not two, but three eggs! Wondering if there was something in the entire mix that made the Bug ‘mons so… ‘responsive’ when it came to stuff like this, he was about to post that there were three eggs up for grabs; when two messages came in; and they had already sent over payment to boot! Wow, these eggs go pretty hot… he thought to himself as he then replied to each of the correspondence; stating that he would be shipping the eggs out in short order. After he had sent the replies to the messages, he then picked up two incubators, and then made his way over to the ‘nursery’ where the three Eggs were; and hefted two of them, ever-so-carefully, into the respective Incubators and then sealed them. He then carried them out one by one; before giving his local ‘delivery service’ a ring; and then giving him the details that were needed. Soon enough, the delivery service arrived outside his Ranch, blowing their truck horns; and one of the representatives then came in, discussed a few things with him; and then he handed them the two Incubators along with their respective addressees; and then watched as they rolled out.
Now that he had one extra egg remaining… he decided to send it out to his fellow breeder, Altair, as a ‘thank you’ for lending him the necessary Karrablast in order to be able to make this breeding a success. Now, what am I going to do… he thought as he checked his ‘bank account’ and saw that the amount in it had increased somewhat; a good sign. He then saw that he had a new message; and then checked to see who it was from; apparently it was from ‘Fire Lady’ again; and this time she wanted to ask if he could breed her some Ralts; and allowed him to take an egg in exchange for using his services. “Oh shit I almost forgot!” he said, smacking a palm to his forehead; before looking around and remembering that he was supposed to give the ‘Fire Lady’ her birthday present! “Yikes,” he added a few moments later, shuddering… before remembering that his Gothita had an Egg Move that was certainly worth passing on. Hoping that this would work, he then began the process; and soon enough he had two extra Pokeballs with him; before going back out and then releasing the two. Watching as the first one coalesced into a very proud, majestic Gardevoir, he looked at the Embrace ‘mon before whistling; and that whistle meant that Alexander was wanted!
A few moments later, the Ghost-type was near him, and he began; “Fire Lady wants another Ralts. Why I’ll never know. But Alex, think you’re up to the task?” he asked the floating skull; and then giving him a nod. “Okay… Momo, right? Alex here will show you around… and be gentle!” he added, a snigger escaping his lips as the Duskull began floating in front of the Gardevoir, and then the two went off somewhere. Seeing that he now had a few more additions, he then whistled again, and this time the male Gothita that he had yet to actually name came shuffling forward; before he sent out Dorma, the Fire Lady’s Makuhita. “I actually… need to give her a present for giving me so much you know,” he said to the Makuhita, “…so please bear with me, okay?” he ended, before the Gothita then came up and gave him a stare.
“Right, so… I know your name,” he began, staring back at the Gothita, “…I’ll call you Lauma. Anyways, I need you two to be nice as well, okay? Don’t traumatize her or anything,” he added, gesturing to the Makuhita before giving them a bow… and then making a hasty retreat! He now knew that it would be up to luck to see if they’d successfully breed or not…

The blond was on the look out for a certain kind of pokemon. A pokemon with a diaper. Well, it wasn't really a diaper but more so left over egg. Similar to how Togepi retains its shell after being hatched. This pokemon, however, was a Vullaby. A dark and flying type pokemon that was oddly an all female species. It was an odd pokemon that Jason wanted, but he found the egg and the female only part about it interesting. Therefore, he began searching for it and, not very surprising, they were rare to find. The mothers of the pokemon were extremely over protective and were known to attack Humans that got too close to their nest. The hassle of finding and capturing them was too much for trainers and breeders, which meant Jason wasn't having much luck finding them.
That was until he found some breeder who was desperately trying to get rid of one. Happy to rid him of the pokemon, Jason wrote an email claiming the egg. All he had to do after that was wait. Sent ten dots for the Vullaby.
He was... not amused. How in the world did one of his breedings succeed, and the other was a miserable flop? Kouji then sighed as he looked through his pickings… and was surprised to see that the Vullaby he’d put up for sale had, at last, been finally purchased! Oh yeah! Great! Now, time to try again… he thought as he checked his “money box” and saw that there was an increase in its contents. Awesome. He thought to himself with a grin as he then proceeded to check his computer… and then saw he had a message. Apparently, there was someone who was looking for a Cyndaquil that had an egg move; and it so happened he knew just the person who had the Cyndaquil he could borrow. He then noticed that said trainer was also looking for another potential Egg Move; and then remembered that Lime had that move… but he was of the wrong gender. He knew that his precious store of three candies was running pretty low; so he decided to just take the risk and use one of them on Lime; hoping for the best! He then proceeded to send the “Fire Lady” a message, asking if he could borrow her Quilava and the Makuhita once again; and then went back out to the “grazing grounds” and whistled!
A few moments later, a certain Fire Horse ‘mon came galloping towards him; and he grinned. “Hey, Lime. I have something for you. Enjoy,” he said, opening his palm and revealing one of the three gender-changing candies in it. Of course, the Ponyta ate it without delay; and he sincerely hoped that nothing too adverse would happen! “Okay, run around for a bit, eh? I have to get something. Be right back,” he said, watching as the now-female Lime bounded away from him. Going back inside, he saw that his transporter receptacle had two Pokeballs in it; each marked accordingly. “Man, Lauma is one tough customer. That nut,” he said to himself, slapping a palm to his forehead and scooping up both Pokeballs. He then returned outside and then whistled twice; the now-female Ponyta ran back towards his direction; and a small, yet completely unperturbed male Gothita suddenly appeared beside it. Scary… he thought to himself as he then released the contents of the two Pokeballs, revealing a Quilava and the Makuhita. “Poor thing,” he muttered to himself as he then took the two Fire-types aside and then began the almighty “pep talk”.
“Okay. Lime, meet Arashi. Arashi, I know you’re in contact with this one’s twin so I’ll make it brief. Get out there and make me proud. Don’t fail me now, okay?” he said, petting the heads of the two; and the watching as Lime took the lead, drawing Arashi into a game of tag. “Okay, one down and one to go…” he muttered to himself as he then turned his attention back to the Gothita and the Makuhita who were now having a staring match. “Guys, guys, you two. Come on.Be nice to each other, okay? Don’t beat him up, he can throw you around…” he addressed the Mkuhita in particular, before giving the two a chin scratch each. “Now, go. Get out there and do your thing.”
He then turned around, gave them a bow, and then beat a hasty retreat back to the “office” building, to wait an see what would happen!
