The Breeder wasn’t exactly expecting the cry of shock to ripple throughout the room, the moment he saw the pink Egg ‘mon waddling his way. “Wait a second… what? What do you mean…?” he began, looking up as he saw the Chansey’s distressed visage make an appearance. “Oh, hell no… don’t tell me one of them isn’t cooperating?!” he muttered, smacking a palm to his forehead before realizing that he might have asked a bit too much from Koralli and the Wingull. “Oh, well. Let me get to them, thanks for the warning, Neili,” he muttered as he pulled himself out of the plush chair he was seated in and then made his way down the steps, before taking another turn and heading towards the Transporter.
He’d apparently gotten a text from his first boss, asking if he was okay with breeding some Flying-types for a new Professor that had just recently dropped by and was starting up in Nue, and he’d replied that it was okay with him to do so; because from what he’d heard, this Professor was rather…obsessed with ‘things that had wings’, and he could only chuckle. “Alright, I’ll get to it,” he muttered with a chuckle as he then pressed in the codes he needed in order to be able to get the Pokémon he needed. Several moments later, a containment unit landed in the receiving dish with a loud clatter, and he snuck a peek within—catching sight of something he’d never seen before. “Well, I can’t say ‘no’ to a Professor. Might as well…” he trailed off, before heading to the storage room and snatching up one of the mushrooms that he’d be needing for the reconciliation attempt.
Several minutes later he was at the shores of the man-made lake once again, looking at the rather…agitated Corsola. Sighing, because he remembered that his Koralli was such a prissy queen when it came to things like this, he then dropped the mushroom between the two, before giving the Wingull an uncharacteristic glare. “Please don’t fly around and stress her. Just… please, okay?” he mentioned, before turning back to Koralli and facing her again. “Keep him entertained, I have something else to get to…” before leaving the two alone and heading out to one of the grassier patches of field and then whistling a certain chain of notes. A few more moments passed before a Pidove then came dive-bombing out of the sky, landing with a rather hard crash on his shoulder.
“Ouch. Kirja, can you… try to rein it in?” he began with a pained grimace, before chuckling and sending out the borrowed Pokémon. He then watched as the flash of red light turned into something he’d never seen before, and could only shrug—what was up with this one? “In any case, Kir. This one’s your playmate. Try not to overdo things, okay?” he added, watching as the tiny pigeon ‘mon flew off his shoulder and then began to circle the Togetic…

Damian was quite surprised to hear that not only was his order of a Flying-type was ready, it had also managed to pick up on an Egg Move that was rather… ‘valuable’ to it as well! Knowing that he had to block off a certain part of his schedule for the day in order to be able to find this Breeder’s Ranch, he then made sure that his schedule was pretty much free, before heading out to Bayonada in order to pick up the eggs. Why eggs? He’d found out on his two-year journey that the Pidvoe line that was mostly native to Unova had distinct physical differences when it came to the males and females of the species.
Making sure to bring along two spare Incubators along with him, he then made the long journey from his labs in Shui all the way out to Bayonada. The train trip took the better part of the afternoon, and he’d finally arrived at the coastal city just as the sun was about to set. “Oh, well… hope I can find this guy’s place as soon as possible,” he muttered, quickly walking through the city streets before finally taking a few turns here and there. Eventually, he reached the Ranch of the Breeder that had procured the Pidove eggs for him, and walked across the empty parking lot before slipping into the premises.
Once he was inside, he then made a beeline for the counter, ringing the bell on the counter before announcing his presence. “I’m here for the Pidove eggs and for my Togetic,” he announced, before placing the two empty Incubators on the counter and waiting for the precious payload to be loaded into the containers. Several minutes later, he’d gotten his Togetic back, along with two loaded Incubators before exiting the premises and making the journey back to his lab.

Another week of breeding requests—and Kouji was feeling particularly antsy at this point in time. He’d only noticed now that there was a serious lack of male versions of his Koralli living in the Bubble dome; and he wanted to expand on the population as much as he could. The problem was that he couldn’t use Koralli nor the Dome’s own female Corsola for a few more days—something about letting the female get enough rest in time to recover for the next breeding session.
Sighing, he was just about ready to throw in the towel when he remembered that he still had a few more ‘mons that were capable of breeding while he was biding his time, waiting for the ‘cool down periods’ to finish.
Why didn’t I think of this before? It’s perfect! He thought to himself, quickly walking over to the Transporter and punching in the code that allowed him access to the Bubble Dome’s PC storage. Once he’d retrieved the male Luvdisc that he’d given to the Dome in order to help stock up the place with all manner of fishies, he then waited for the containment unit to arrive—and it clattered in several moments later, before he scooped it up and out of the receiving bay.
Knowing that this was going to be able to let him pass off the time until much later in the week, he then walked out to the back, before looking around—where the hell did he park Skuld, his Finneon? It took him several minutes of racking his brains before he realized that she was at the fresh water lake—and therefore made his way over there, tossing the containment unit up and down in his hands as he went.
Once he’d arrived at the lake’s shores, he then looked around in the shallows—before finally finding his Finneon sunning itself in a sheltered cove of rocks some distance off. “Oy, Skuld, why’re you hiding here…” he began, chuckling as he then sent out the male Luvdisc, watching as the red beam of light transformed into a heart-shaped fish that landed in the water with a splash. “Skuld… meet your partner for today. Please don’t be such a drama queen like Koralli is,” he added with a chuckle, before leaving the two alone for some alone time…

Darren was rather surprised—since his boss had gone off somewhere and had left him with very specific instructions, as well as the codes for the Transporter—for the next breeding request that they were going to be getting to. “Hmm,” the purple-eyed assistant began, twirling a pencil between his fingers as he scanned the piece of paper that had his boss’ handwriting scribbled all over it. “Well, time ta’ get t’ this,” he said in his very distinct Castelian twang, before shuffling over and heading to the Transporter and punching in the two codes. The first one was the direct link to the Bubble Dome’s own Pokemon storage, along with instructions on which Wingull he needed to get; while the other code was apparently access to someone else’s PC, along with a single entry scrawled beside it: Corsola, along with the sign for ‘male’.
That's so strange. Ah, well. boss’ orders are to be followed… he thought with a rather furrowed expression skimming across his face, before punching in the two codes; and waiting for the containment units to arrive. Several moments later, two containment units clattered in—a Dive Ball, which he recognized right away as having come from the Bubble Dome; and another containment unit. “A’igh’, ‘ere goes,” he said, scooping up the two and heading out to the back, before looking around—since he both had Water-types with him he was torn; fresh water lake or ocean shoreline? Common sense finally took over sometime later, and he then made his way to the fresh water man-made lake, before sending out the two occupants—watching as two familiar silhouettes appeared.
Watching as the Pokémon appeared out of the flashes of red light, he then chuckled, before saying, “B’ nice ta each oth’r, ‘kay? Don’ make m’ use th’ ‘shrooms on ye,” and leaving the two alone for some “private time”.

Kouji had gotten a rather unusual breeding request this time around—and it just happened to be for one of the Professors who was just crazy about avians. Oh, that guy… the one who got two of the three eggs recently… he thought with a grin on his face, before remembering that he already had both members of the breeding prepared and ready; all he had to do was go out back. Kind of strange though, people looking for the crazy murder of birds… he remembered with a smirk on his face; remembering the time that he had to breed out six Murkrows for his second boss back then.
Thankfully he didn’t have to look too far, so he stepped outside to the back door and found himself out on the Ranch. Looking around, he could only guess as to where the two Flying-types were located, and had to resort to searching. It took him the better part of an hour, but soon enough, he’d found the Vullaby and the Murkrow he was searching for; and had managed to get them together up in another tree. Ouch. I really need to be careful when climbing up and down these trees… that hurts, he thought as he looked at his palms, that were now raw and bruised from scraping against tree bark a lot of times today.
“Alright, you two… please be nice to each other. I’ll treat you both to your favorite treats when you’re very successful, okay? Particularly you, Ivan,” he remarked towards the Murkrow with a grin, before giving them a salute and hopping down and out of the tree; leaving them to do their thing…

He was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a message waiting for him in his email account; stating that there was someone that had managed to breed some avians that he was interested in. Of course, since he already had Cappy (the demonic spawn of a Honchkrow that incessantly pestered him every opportunity it got) he wasn’t too sure how the crazy black bird would handle him taking in even more of their winged compatriots. Annoying black crows aside, Damian had made sure to block off a certain part of his day in order to allot enough travel time from Shui to Bayonada, because that’s where the ranch that had the avian egg he was going to pick up was located in.
The trip took several hours, and once he’d arrived in Bayonada, the sun was already setting—why didn’t he make the trip earlier in the morning? The answer was simple: he’d gotten too busy trying to calm down his Aerodactyl (it had almost chewed his hand off several times) in order for him to listen to what he had to say. Now that he’d managed to somehow make his Aerodactyl doubt him less, thanks to his Togetic’s intervention, he was now free to get to the rest of the day—and that included picking up the Murkrow egg that had his name on it. Once he’d arrived at the Ranch in question, he then made for the counter and rung the bell, before setting down a single Incubator atop the surface.
“I’m here for one of the Murkrow eggs,” he called out, hoping that either the Breeder or his assistant would hear him and weren’t too busy taking care of the Pokémon they had grazing out back!

Tobias looked around the facility, puzzled. He was unfamiliar with this place, and he was not entirely sure that he was where he should be. He had inquired about a murkrow egg, and received word that it was ready for him to pick up. He walked closer, with his attention divided between his surroundings and the GPS function on his phone.
He had been looking for quite some time to expand his team, and after many fruitless attempts in the wilderness, he found that his best chance at finding desirable pokemon species was to hire breeders. Alas, his salvation was the bureaucracy. At first, he was not fond of the idea, but after running the numbers he found that he was actually spending more money preparing for his excursions into the wild. This was better for his wallet, and for his patience.
He stepped inside, awkawrdly.
"Hello?" he said, "I'm here about a murkrow egg. I was told it was ready. Am I in the right place?"

Darren looked up and saw through the CCTV systems that there were some people who had come by for the crow’s eggs that had come from the bumper crop of three that had resulted from the last breeding they’d done the previous week. “A’igh’, a’igh’, I’m comin’, plea’e wai’ fo’ tha’ eggs,” he began, before hopping down and off from the work table where he was currently parked and got to shuffle out to meet the two customers—holding two eggs that he gently nestled into their respective Incubators before closing the units carefully.
“I’ve bee’ inform’d abou’ payment, no nee’, they’re on th’ house,” he said towards the official-looking individual (Damian) as well as the younger man (Tobias) before giving them a respectful bow. “Thank y’ for the business, I’ll le’ m’ boss know,” he added, before shuffling off in order to get to the Breeding business for the day as he watched the two leave the premises.
He then proceeded out back, remembering that there was a note for him that had been pinned to the fridge earlier that morning that stated that the breeding for today was going to be between a Rapidash and an Ampharos. It also stated that both containment units had already been delivered and the two ‘mons were out grazing in the back, and all he needed to do was to check up on them if necessary. “Well, h’ sure works fas’,” he muttered with a chuckle as he then went back to his work shop…

Izumi wasn’t exactly expecting to hear from Darren, of all people. But the news that he’d dropped on her—that there was a bumper crop of what appeared to be Mareep eggs that had a specific Egg Move on them had caught her attention. But then… what am I going to do with… oh, I know… she thought as she’d suddenly come up with a little snag in the path; but had eventually found a way around it. She knew that Kouji had informed her about the Professor who’d been requesting for his services on the side, and that this guy was lacking a few ‘mons—specifically, he didn’t have a single ‘mon to battle all the others that could take out his Flying types in one shot.
“Eh, a thing’s a thing,” she remarked with a chuckle; before quickly shuffling over to Bayonada, an Incubator tucked underneath her arm. Normally, she’d have asked Kouji to drop off the eggs back at the home stead out in the Wilds, but this was going to be a rather interesting trip that she was going to be making. Once she’d arrived at the place, and had rung the bell, she then watched as the purple-haired assistant then took her Incubator and shuffled off with it; before returning with the occupied container along with a PokeBall that housed the Ampharos that she was going to be passing to the Professor who most likely lacked a certain amount of firepower.
“Thanks,” she muttered in Darren’s direction, before making a hasty exit—she was hoping to catch the Professor before he’d left his laboratory for the rest of the day to go out and do some “field work”…

Kouji was rather surprised to find out that his attempt at breeding something other than water-types had gotten him quite the haul; and that one of the three Mareep eggs had already been secured by its claimant. He knew that there was someone else that was looking for one of the Electric-type sheep, so he’d made it a point to contact the individual that had been searching up and down for Mareep for quite a bit and left a message, along with his address so that they could come by his place and grab it. Now that he wasn’t too busy, he then decided to get to another one of the long-delayed breeding requests that Izumi had been nagging him about for the longest time—the Tepig.
He then made his way over to the Transporter and punched in a series of codes and waited for the contraption to go off like mad—before two containment units dropped in. he’d already done the checking for his first boss, now all he had to do was to actually procure what she was asking for him—and that it was going to be a rather complicated process in itself. Seeing that the three containment units had arrived safely in the Transporter, he then scooped them up before heading out back and beginning to look for his female Smeargle—he’d decided to let her rest for a bit longer before asking for her services to come into play once more.
After several minutes of searching, he then managed to find Araki, who was apparently convening with Raphael, his male Smeargle. Since the two were decidedly similar, he’d just happened to chance in on them—before quickly apologizing. “Sorry, Raph, but I need Araki for a bit. I’ll let her get back to you, okay?” he began with an apologetic tone before he gently shooed the male Smeargle away, watching as he disappeared into the undergrowth. “Now… first up,” he began, chucking the first containment unit high, watching as it revealed a Makuhita he’d borrowed from Josh’s storage. “Can you… uhh, what was that… can you demonstrate your Heavy Slam to Araki here? Try to be gentle…” he remarked, watching as the Makuhita looked at him with a confused look on its face.
Eventually, the Fighting-type had gotten to demonstrating the Heavy Slam attack, and once Araki had copied the Heavy Slam move and committed it to memory he then quickly recalled the Makuhita before sending out the second one; this time watching as a canine with a rather wild-looking fur coat made its appearance. “Right, so… uhhm, can you tackle Araki here with a Sucker Punch, please?” he began, watching as the Furfrou continued to look at him rather critically—before getting the point of asking his own Smeargle to do something in return. “Heavy Slam at that, go!” he continued, and then he witnessed the Smeargle giving its best attempt at Heavy Slam—only to be met with the Sucker Punch, faster than his eye could witness.
Once the Smeargle had fallen back, it then began committing to memory the Sucker Punch attack and then waited, looking as its tail was now tingling, before the Breeder recalled the Furfrou—just in case it decided to do something else. “Now, for the main event…” he trailed off with a grin, sending out the Tepig he was expecting—but suddenly seeing something else instead. It… looked like a Tepig, only thing was it was on two legs! “Whoa… he actually evolved the little porker…” he muttered to himself as he then turned to address the Pignite. “Have fun with Araki… play nice!” he ended with an admonishing smirk, before leaving the two alone!
