Even if Kouji had already taken it into his own hands—he saw that the Chansey was now panicking and headed his way, looking absolutely and completely upset. “Oy, no need to tell me. I know.I can tell from that look on your face,” he began, holding up a hand just as the Chansey was about to start bothering him; looking absolutely and completely distraught. “Give me a few, I’ll be right there…” he continued, getting up and out of the plush chair that he’d already parked himself in, and was about to spend the rest of the day reading the newspaper. He then made his way downstairs and then went straight to the store room, before quickly fishing out another one of the yellow, funky stuff. Maybe there’s something wrong with this batch… this is the worst streak so far. Three tries, still nothing… he thought to himself, before gingerly taking a sniff and getting a noseful of the slightly overpowering, somewhat nauseating scent the rubbery mushrooms were emitting.
Sighing, he then made his way back to the temporary Aquarium setup in one of the other storage rooms that was located near the nursery; and saw that they weren’t really seeing each other eye to eye. He could only guess what the hell had happened overnight, and sighed again before dropping the mushroom into the water with another splash, and leaving the two alone again. It was at this time he then felt his pocket vibrate—and then stuck his free hand in, before extracting his own phone and seeing that there was another order—this time it was a rather unusual order—but nonetheless, he then made his way over to the Transporter and punched in a few codes—and waited for the two containment units to arrive. The first one that appeared fell with a loud clattering noise—and he noticed that it was a Safari Ball; he could only guess what was in it. The other container held his own Vullaby, and once he had the two, he then made his way out back and sent his avian out first.
The Vullaby gave a loud squawk, before rushing and literally slamming itself into his leg, and he could only chuckle as he then sent the other containment unit airborne; before watching its occupant appearing in a flash of red light. “Hmm, you’re an unusual one…” he remarked, watching as the Archen flapped his rather ruffled-looking feathers, before catching sight of the Vullaby. “Let’s see…”

Soon after she’d asked Kouji to breed the weird bird she’d recently acquired from her latest travail in the Safari Zone, there was a voice mail message waiting for her when she had half a mind to check out her phone. After listening to the message, she then decided to pay the Ranch in Bayonada a personal visit—because the weird thing that she recognized as an Archen had successfully bred a couple of eggs. After she’d asked Kouji to ship off the Archen to another Breeder who was apparently very interested in the weird bird, she was now walking through the streets of Bayonada, following the twisting, winding path until she finally arrived at the reinstituted Ranch that he manned.
“Heh, this is just for formalities’ sake, but all the same…” she muttered, walking as swiftly as she could manage across the parking lot and then swinging the glass door open. The wind chimes above made a tinkling noise—and there he was, the crazy, purple-haired assistant was apparently drawing something on what appeared to be a sketch pad. “Hey there, Purp,” she began, and the assistant nearly jumped a mile upon hearing the sound of her voice. “I’m here for the Archen egg,” she continued, as she strode over to the door that separated the counter from the rest of the Ranch proper; letting herself in and zipping past him. After all, she was main sponsor for this Ranch, and she could do anything she pleased. After finding the nursery, she then saw that there were two eggs; being tended to by a pink, round ‘mon and one that she’d seen several times in the Safari Zone.
“Ah, there it is, the cute little thing…” she muttered, chuckling at the little scene…

Kouji was wondering if ‘love was in the air’; the reason why he’d pondered on such thoughts was because most of the males that were running crazy on his Ranch were literally attempting to fling themselves at the females; which then had all the females running away and screeching in either shock, horror, dismay, or in rare cases, outright disgust. The Chansey was already going crazy with all the racket that the Pokémon were causing, and had decided to take refuge in the Nursery in order to avoid all the ungodly racket that was coming from the grounds outside. “Sorry, Neili,” he began with a chuckle, giving the Egg ‘mon a gentle pat on the head before continuing in a reassuring tone, “…but next week they’ll all calm down. Just… grin and bear with it for this week, okay?” before giving another reassuring pat on the Chansey’s head as he exited the Nursery and made his way to the front office.
Once he’d arrived at where the Transporter was waiting, all buffed and burnished to a metallic keen, he then started inputting a series of codes for something, and waited until a loud rattling noise announced its arrival. After scooping it up and seeing that it was the Aquarium’s female Corsola, he then chuckled—before walking out back and looking for the lone male Poliwag that he had. After several minutes of searching, he finally found the Poliwag at one part of the man-made lake’s shores; attempting to throw himself at the other females who’d retreated to deeper water. “Aiyayai, this is one hell of a crazy time,” he muttered with a sheepish look on his face as he then sent out the female Corsola, which then hit the water with a loud splash.
“Hey, Nuijappa! Chase her! This one’s perfectly available!” he shouted, whistling and catching the crazy Poliwag’s attention—who then promptly tossed himself all over the pink fish, spiky protrusions permitting.
Breeding!

Kouji wasn’t exactly expecting the…overeager Poliwag to really ‘get it on’ with the pink spiky thing; and the three eggs that were waiting for him in the Nursery the morning after was proof that indeed, something…unusual was going on. He could only guess how his Chansey was coping due to all of the loud, borderline anarchistic racket and noises that the males of the species were making, and chuckled sympathetically as the Chansey came running up to him again, looking positively deranged by now. “Sorry Neili,” he began once again, stealing a shifty eye at the poor Chansey who was pretty much nearing her last straws, “…just a few more days, and you’ll have your peace again. Unless you want to hide first in your containment thing, but I know you’d say no…” he added, giving the Chansey another pat on the head.
Right then and there his mobile phone went off once again—and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets upon seeing that it wasn’t just him experiencing the phenomena; it was apparently going on all over the place! He then sighed, before realizing that the racket would be going on for some time; and then scrolled to another message. This was another breeding from another one of the preferred clientele; surprisingly it wasn’t Josh, but it was Thomas this time who was looking for something, particularly some more Slowpoke babies. “Eh, I can indulge Tom now. Josh’s can wait… this is apparently a thing…” he muttered as he then made his way over to the Transporter once more and inputted some more commands, before waiting for the two containment units to appear. Several minutes later he was now headed out back with two PokeBalls in hand; having already used them in a breeding request for the Aquarium before.
“At least these two know each other by now…” he muttered as he then watched the Slowking appear from the first containment unit; and the fabulous yellow bipedal sheep emerge from the other red beam of light. “Hi. Yes, you two meet again. So… uhh, have at it?” he said sheepishly once the two Pokémon looked at him rather inquiringly, before turning and heading out to the greenery that was his Ranch. “Now, I have to deliver the three eggs to Tyntill… time to call Purple and get this done right away,” he muttered once more as he made his way back to the Ranch office grounds.
Breeding!

More eggs that held her interest. This time it has to do with Slowpoke - specifically ones that seemed to heal their own wounds when given a short respite inside of their Pokeballs. It seemed to be an adaptation specifically due to human involvement, and it was a desirable one indeed.
The internet gave her the time and place, and Klára forked over the required money. It was time to be on her way.

Thomas was delighted to hear that Algernon's attempt at reproduction had been a successful one, yielding three eggs to boot. So now Thomas was ready to claim his second Regenerator Slowpoke, one that would eventually become a Slowbro. But for the time being, once it hatched and would be in the process of being raised towards that aim, having a baby Slowpoke as a pet seemed like a great idea to the trainer.
After all, Slowpoke was extremely cute, if one were to ask Thomas.
So Thomas handed his payment for the egg over the counter, and an incubator to hold the new egg in. When the person at the counter came back, they handed two things over to the brown-haired trainer. One was the Slowpoke egg in the incubator. And the other was Algernon himself, quite satisfied with his work in breeding more of his kind with the ability of Regenerator.

Today.
Today was most definitely the day. After a string of not just one, not two, not even three, but four successive failures, Kouji had finally managed to cough up a pair of Goldeens for the Aquarium! Today was the big day, to say the least, because he snuck a look in the temporary fish tank that had been set up near the Nursery; and saw that there were two Goldeens swimming in the tank. Knowing that he had to keep the female one away for a while at least, he then scooped up the containment unit where it resided, at least until she was transported and promptly dropped into the Bubble Dome’s ecosystem and recalled one of the two Goldeens in a flash of red light. Once that was done, he then quickly whistled, and that made Purple come running.
“Can you bring this over to Tyntill for me, please? I have…to keep an eye on things around here,” he began, looking around rather shiftily—the ungodly racket that most of the ‘mons that were in heat was causing utter and absolute bedlam; and with a grumbling grown, the purple-haired assistant scooped up the containment unit, before muttering something along the lines of ‘you owe me lunch’ or something similar; and then left the scene for the time being. The trip from Bayonada to Tyntill was a long one, and he had to catch the earliest train possible in order to make it back in time for lunch! Now that Kouji was alone, he then shuffled over to the Transporter and began to input a certain series of codes; before watching another containment unit clatter into the receiving dish.
After extracting it, he then made his way back to the fish tank—where he was not surprised to see the Goldeen that was trying to make a break for it. “I hope the thing doesn’t break…” he muttered as he sent out the containment unit’s occupant, and out from the flash of red light popped a weird-looking fish that hit the water with a…zapping noise?! Uh-oh… this might turn out to be a bad idea… he thought as he then scrutinized the two. “Alright. No breaking the glass, please,” he said in a pointed tone, giving the male Goldeen a rather dirty look; because that horn was sharp—plus he’d heard stories of it being able to break glass no matter the cost.

[Alice]
Oh if only she could have gotten this done before Valentines Day, she could have had these eggs ready by then for gifting. All the League paperwork, all of it... why did she left that man drag her into this position? At least he repayed the favor by running around and indulging in her online spending. Speaking of online spending, she had been planning to request some breedings for Pokemon a friend of hers wanted. Hopefully her friend would be understanding...
[Requesting two breedings:
Kouji's male Tympole with Izumi's female Walrein, Spheal egg move Aqua Ring
Kouji's female Chansey with Denise's (Yumi's) male Castform, no egg moves]

Now that the Valentines’ rush was over, Kouji finally breathed a sigh of relief—because the anarchistic racket had finally subsided; leaving all of his own ‘mons tired out from the crazy preceding week! “Heh, that’s what y’all get for jumpin’ the gun way too early,” he began, snickering as he snuck a look out back—there were lots of slumped-over, tired, exhausted, passed-out Pokémon who were splayed out on the grass. Now that the ‘heat season’ was officially over, he could finally get back to the list of requests that he’d already written down—but then, he heard his computer going off, a sign that he’d gotten some mail in. “Who could be sending letters at this time…” he began; before hearing the Transporter going off like crazy.
He then proceeded to skim the contents of the message that he’d received, and let out a chuckle; before casting a look over at the Transporter—where there was a containment unit already sent and waiting. At the same time, he then had to double-check just in case his crazy tadpole knew the technique that they were going to try to get on the Spheal that would result from the breeding—if it was successful.
He then strode over to aforementioned Transporter, before extracting the first containment unit; and then entering another sequence of codes; before waiting for the second one the arrive—all the ‘mons that were here were mostly the Water-types that he’d recently caught; and most of them were just out grazing in the Wilds’ homestead at present.
After the second containment unit arrived, he then strode by his assistant, who was currently trying to assemble something out of some spare parts that he’d brought back from Flash City. “No, these aren’t for the Aquarium, someone else is getting them,” he began; before popping by the Nursery and whistling for his Chansey to follow him out back.
Once he’d arrived outside, he then let the other two occupants loose; and recognized the first one—it was her Walrein with that weird-ass Ability. The second one looked like an anthromorphic mass that was levitating in mid-air; and once the two were out, he then said to the two, “Wait here,” before quickly running in order to be able to find the Tympole that he’d caught so long ago back in Unova.
Several minutes later he’d returned clutching the slimy little tadpole-like frog, before letting it hop out, stopping right before the Walrein, who then regarded the little thing with a curious look. “Neili… I can’t believe I’m saying this, but yeah. Be nice to your guest, okay?” he continued, indicating the Castform; before leaving the two pairs alone to do their business.

Who knew that this week would begin with a mixed blessing? Kouji then looked up in surprise to see that his own Chansey was now headed his way, waddling and crying at the same time. He could only guess how it went—and as he passed the Nursery, he then saw that Purple was busy loading up three of the empty ‘nests’ with eggs; fluffing them up with hay. “Okay… so one went off fine, the other one…” he muttered as he then saw that the Walrein was now trying to reach where her eggs had been contained; and that the assistant was now trying his hardest not to let the aforementioned walrus-like Pokémon into the Nursery! “Well that’s ironic…” he muttered with a grin as he then quickly retrieved the containment unit of his benefactor’s Walrein and recalled the overprotective walrus back—before the doors suffered even more damage.
Now that one pair had done so well, he then decided to check out the other—and was quite shocked to see that it was his Chansey and the lent Castform that had drawn a zero. “Well, no wonder you’re upset,” he began in the pink Egg ‘mon’s direction—he then quickly turned around and made headway towards the store room; and pulled out one of the mushrooms. He then made a mental note to buy some more in a few days; before returning to where the ‘odd couple’ was not facing each other.
“Easy there. Easy there, easy does it,” he began, before leaving the mushroom in-between the two, and gently coaxing his Chansey to try again. “Tell me if something goes wrong, okay,” he silently muttered, before leaving the two to their own devices—who knew if they just needed a bit of sugar to give them a boost?
