The second shocked distress call shook not just Kouji, but Darren out of their wits—who knew that a Chansey could make such unearthly noises like that?! “Oh, crap,” the Breeder groaned, quickly flying down the stairs as fast as he could; with his assistant following him close behind. “What? What happened?!” he began, seeing the pink Egg ‘mon seemingly wailing her eyes out due to the fact that she’d been very nearly roasted to a crisp just a few moments earlier and had barely managed to get away. “Ah, shi’,” Darren muttered, before quickly stepping around his boss and then slowly but surely taking the Chansey off to one side.
“I’ma take care ‘a this, Boss! Go fin’ ou’ wha’ set ‘er off,” he shouted as he carted the rather heavy pink caretaker off to another room. The Breeder could only shrug and shake his head as he then made his way back to the store room and quickly grabbed the paper bag before peeking inside—and then snatching up another funny-smelling rubbery mushroom and then heading out once again. he could hear Darren trying to calm the wailing Chansey down; and as he began to look around the expanse, he thought he saw something…exploding, not too far away?! “Oh, hell no!” he shouted, quickly making his way over to where the Ponyta and the Typhlosion were in the middle of a rather heated argument. “Whoa, WHOA! You two, CALM DOWN!” he bellowed, raising his hands up and bravely stepping into the middle; hoping that either one of them didn’t chuck a ball of fire his way.
“Arashi, Ixion! Calm your bloody… just can it!” he continued, before quickly lobbing the mushroom in the Typhlosion’s direction before jumping out of the way; because another sudden blast of fire cut through the clearing and very nearly singed off all of his hair! “Geez,” he muttered to himself as he rolled through the grass before leaving the two alone again.

Darren then heard a loud shout coming from where he presumed his boss was located; and he could only guess that Kouji was starting to feel rather…frustrated with what was going on between the two Fire-types. “Man, tha’s gotta suck,” he said with a groan; before patting the pink Egg ‘mon’s limbs and then saying, “A’igh’, all patch’d up. B’ careful wi’ th’ eggs, eh?” he remarked in the Chansey’s direction, to which she gave a nod before waddling off back towards the Nursery. “Gee’, I ca’ only guess ho’ bad thi’ is,” he continued to himself as he then saw his fuming boss stride past him, before climbing the stairs rather angrily. “You deal with the two, please. I need to cool down. Oh, and there’s a request written in the ledger, do check it out…” he heard his boss mutter before the footfalls faded into silence, followed by the slamming of a door.
“Ma’, so touch’,” was all he could get out as he made his way over to where their master ledger was; a place to keep track of things that needed to be bred. After seeing the latest page had some fresh notes in it, he then proceeded to the Transporter and punched in a series of codes, before watching and waiting for one of the containment units to arrive. As soon as the contraption went off with this loud noise and dropped off the PokeBall, he then quickly scooped it up before heading back to the store room. Sometime later, Darren emerged and was holding a rubbery ‘shroom as well as the containment unit; and the first thing he did was to seek out the quarelling pair. “Oy, no wond’r th’ Boss lost ‘is cool,” he muttered softly, watching as the Typhlosion was acting all huffy.
“Have anoth’r ‘shroom, hope t’ helps,” he said, chucking the yellow, rubbery thing at the Typhlosion, before seeking out where the Water-types had parked. Eventually, he then found the pink coral-like fish and then sent out the occupant of the containment unit; watching as a familiar sight appeared from the flash of red light. “Now, kee’ t’ th’ groun’, will ye?” he said in the Wingull’s direction, watching as it circled around him before seeing the Corsola that was sunbathing in the shallow surf.

Knowing that his boss was still rather stressed out due to the ruckus and general chaos that the two Fire-types had caused, Darren then decided to take matters into his own hands. After checking the ledger and seeing that there was another scribbled request in it—in fact, there were two—he then decided to get to working on it; rather than letting his bad-tempered boss (as of the moment, Kouji’s mood was feeling rather dour and his face could curdle fresh milk) handle things and just have it blow up in his face and require the use of the ‘funky yellow things’. He knew that the weird mushrooms looked harmless; but apparently, there were some rather…interesting side-effects if they were left exposed for too long in a Pokémon’s presence…
After walking over to the Transporter (and subsequently punching in the requisite codes needed in order to be able to get the Pokémon that was indicated in the list), Darren then stepped back and waited for the contraption to go off. Sure enough, two containment units made their appearance several moments later, and he quickly scooped them up before heading out to the back. After sending out the occupants of the two containment units and watching as the occupants landed in subsequent lashes of red light; he knew that there was something wrong—what had possessed his boss’ mind to breed a walking bunch of vines and a sentient tree?!
“Wel’, th’s looks weird… eh, wha’ev’r, got’a follow th’ Boss’ requests,” he muttered with a shrug as he looked over at the familiar sentient tree that had red fruit growing from its neck; not the usual yellow that he knew was normal for their species. “No’, Pa’m, b’ nice ta our gues’ ‘ere,” he remarked, indicating the mass of vines that was looking up at him with beady-looking eyes; as if leering right in his face. He then turned around and left the two alone; before searching for the second pair he needed to breed. Eventually, he’d managed to find his boss’ Golduck and the weird pink fish; and after leaving them alone together, he then made his way back in order to wait…
Breeding!

[attr="class","mariscroll"]Oh, how Marionette loved the beaches in Bayonada. Though, her current schedule didn't offer her any time to soak in the sand and salt water. No, she was here on business. A quick in and out to a breeding ranch to pick up a Pokemon that she ordered and then she would be heading in the direction of Flash City once more. Veles slithered along at her side, his tongue flicking in and out of his mouth to taste the air. He seemed to watch the sands of the beach with a longing expression before picking up his pace and catching up with his trainer.
Mari stepped along the grounds, looking around the breeders ranch as they passed the threshold. "It's such a pretty little place, isn't it, Veles?" Mari asked softly down at her Ekans who gave a hiss of agreement. "Wait out here, I'll be quick," Mari noted as she walked up to the building, slipping inside.
She wasted no time, finding herself at the counter, her hand coming down on the bell with purpose. When the assistant came out, she instructed that she was there for the Heracross egg. Before long, and with a sweet little "Thanks" toward the assistant, she was walking out with the egg in her arms, her Ekans hissing happily after being left outside so long. At least he'd gotten a nice sun bath, right?

Josh would walk over, seeing as Kouji's breeding area wasn't far from home, and look around. "Hey! Kouj! You around?" Josh would call. Knowing Kouji, he was out in his other base of operations, and had left the egg there for him since he had called earlier about picking it up. And lo and behold, there was the Psyduck egg, all ready, on top of a barrel with a note attached to it. "Guess he's out again" He said with a shrug as he would pick up the egg. "I'll send him a fruit basket later"

As of the moment, the operating headquarters of ‘A Taste of Home’; Nue branch, had temporarily relocated to where the Bubble Dome was located—due to the brunt of the freak stormy weather literally nuking it out all over Bayonada. Kouji knew that Darren had traveled out to the Ruins in his place; so here he was in one of the back rooms of the Dome, preparing and getting the ‘temporary shelter’ set up.
No sooner had he turned on the computer that had been provided for him (and had accessed the Ranch’s public e-mail address) he saw that there were several messages sitting in the Inbox. After reading and scrolling through the several messages and noting down what needed to be bred, he then walked over to the Transporter that had been lent to him for the time being and punched in a series of codes.
Several moments later, a series of loud pinging noises went off, and Kouji looked up in time to see the Transporter flashing like crazy; before rushing over and plucking out the literal armload of containment units that had arrived; before looking around and sighing—he’d gotten used to heading outside and letting the ‘mons graze. But with the current weather now, it just wasn’t advisable at present.
He could only sigh as he let out all the respective occupants; watching as the light flashed and spat out six ‘mons; hopefully they all didn’t end up killing each other in the crammed space. “Alright, y’all. Sorry if it’s a bit…tight. The weather’s going nuts. This has to do for now,” he remarked sheepishly; looking over at the Machamp and Medicham; before watching the two Ralts seemingly catch sight of one another—and finally, a very bouncy Weedle and what appeared to be a Scatterbug had made their appearance.
“Don’t tear the place down,” he added, before bowing apologetically in their direction and then slowly exiting the room; waiting for news…

this spell you cast on me- its like magic
It was that time again, time to gather up some of the eggs that Novel seemed to endlessly have on back-order from Breeders. Sometimes he felt like he was singlehandedly keeping all of them in business, or at least giving them something to do. He felt bad, kind of, that so many of them took time out of their schedules to bother with him so often. Not that he didn't deserve it, he was a very important person after all, but picking them all up could be tiresome. It was just hard to get your hand on certain Psychic types sometimes, especially since he seemed to have such poor luck finding them in the wild on his own.
Today's pickup was a Ralts egg. It was specially bred to make it extra powerful, a real kicker when it evolved. He didn't know exactly what surprises the little Ralts would have in store when it hatched, but Novel was certainly excited. He needed more pokemon that he could rely on, and if one came out of the egg with a boost he wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. Approaching the counter, Novel smiled at the person working behind it. "Yes, hello. Novel. I'm here to pick up an egg." He had been to this place before, and had been very pleased with the results. His Bronzor and Fennekin were both angels, if a little shy. He had no doubt that this Ralts would be the same.
"Ah!" It took a moment, but with a very short wait time Novel had been handed his new egg. He was pleased, cradling it gently and tucking it away for a safe travel home. "Thank you very much." He smiled again, then turned to leave for now. He had things to do and places to be.

(Pumping this out before i go to bed)
Yumi always found it weird making trips out to any breeder other than Kuto. Don't get her wrong, she loved all the breeders, they got the job done and gave her what she needed, the issue was just the fact that she could never do the get in and out chat that she was used to with Kuto. heck she hardly ever talked to the blue haired girl. Still, here she was, and she was gonna grab those eggs.

Once Kouji had checked the Ranch’s business email inbox and saw that he had several requests for ‘mons to be bred (freak weather conditions aside) he then decided to get to work. Seeing as there were a lot of requests that had been sent his way, he then went over to the temporary Transporter that had been loaned to him and quickly punched in a series of codes; who knew that he had to borrow so many ‘mons for this venture?
Luckily one of them is already mine, the Mismagius… but then… wow this is so complicated… the Breeder mused to himself as he then watched and waited for the metal contraption to go off. Several minutes later, he had walked away from the Transporter with an armload of containment units in his hands; to the temporary room in the back—it wasn’t his green pastures over in Bayonada, but for the moment it had to do.
He then proceeded to send out all of the occupants; and watched very closely as they started materializing. The first pair was the pink pile that had nothing but a drawn face on it; and it was accompanied by some weird kind of floating… snowflake?
He then chuckled, because the snowflake was another familiar denizen to him; before looking at the second pair—what appeared to be a rock had landed out of the containment unit beside his own familiar Mismagius, who then floated over to him in greeting. The last pair was a bit odd, because he’d already gone through their evolutionary line—the younger versions of his Voima, now a mighty ‘lightning rod’.
“Well…” he began sheepishly before scratching his head apologetically, “Sorry about the tight space. We’re stuck here for now, at least until the weather blows over. But for now… can you cooperate with me here, please?” he ended, before bowing and leaving the three pairs alone in order for them to get to some ‘magic time’.

Man, Kouji had really outdone himself this time. He'd requested a Machop breed, yes, and Yumi had even offered her Machamp to do the honors. That had been settled and ready for this week. He had put in an order for a Spiritomb breeding as well, for later on, as he figured that Kouji had enough on his plate this week. Imagine Josh's surprise then, when he got a text from Kouji telling him to go get the Spiritomb egg along with the Machop egg. He'd been surprised, but it wasn't like Kouji wasn't a worker of miracles before. But the biggest surprise came when he was suddenly texted to go and pick up a CRYOGONAL egg of all things by Kouji. He hadn't filled in an order, he hadn't gone and asked anyone, except tried to send out a feeler to a now closed-down breeder to see about breeding a Cryogonal for him in future as he was looking for one. How the hell Kouji had found out was beyond him, but the biggest surprise was him actually doing all three breeds in one week and having him come pick them up.
Josh would stroll down to Kouji's area within the ranch, looking for the guy. He didn't seem to be around, which was weird as he had just gotten the last egg text not long ago. He must have gone out for a business trip, that was fine. He would drop by instead to see the assistant, who likely had the eggs. After a few minutes of tormenting the assistant as payback for all of the namecalling, he'd pick up the three eggs and the news that Inferno was an uncle before heading out. Oddly, Kouji never seemed to charge him, even when he tried to pay for the eggs himself he would always be refused. He wished the assistant, Darren was his name he thought, and Kouji "well" before heading out to place these in an incubator.
