This time, Zuzu was out in the Badlands digging with her Excadrill when she got an alert from her sponsor—one of the requested breedings had gone through; although there was a slight problem: she was all the way out here in Kalos, and he was most likely all the way back in Unova, so getting the egg to her was definitely going to do another number on her wallet, but she decided to do with it anyway, sending a text message to him, along with the address of her temporary apartment in the Kalos area; since she was way too far from civilization at the moment to go catch a plane and fly all the way out to Humilau City. Besides, it beats having a lackey pick it up for me… who knows what the hell they’d do with it. I cringe at the terror, she thought to herself as she then finished composing the message and then gave it a once-over.
“Alright, well enough for me,” she continued, sending the message off and away—and then watching as her Excadrill continued to dirt-dive, not really finding anything at the present time because, well, she was taking a short break from digging in order to be able to contact him just because she was a preferred client! She then remembered something that Josh had let slip to her, too—and decided to send a “P.S.” message; asking if he could be able to breed her one of the other ‘mons on his wishlist… “Seeing as I got Winston and he’s just there, sitting around… why not use him…” she muttered to herself, finishing the details of the message and then sending it on its way, back to Unova where her sponsor awaited a message coming from her!

breeding request
407
Kouji’s phone then went off, not just once, but twice! He had just finished coaxing Persephone back into her PokeBall and had sent her back to the Trainer he’d borrowed it from, when he picked up the phone and saw that there were several messages—all of them came from his benefactor, and he was quite surprised to see that she was out in Kalos somewhere and was asking for the egg to be sent over there. “Well, as long as it doesn’t kill me…” he muttered, quickly heading back to the Nursery and picking up one of the nestled eggs; the other one he’d have to decide what to do with once he was done shipping off this egg. After sealing it in an Incubator, he then contacted his local shipping contact, and the guy came over sometime later, looking at the address. After snorting at the piece of paper (and exchanging some banter), he left; and then Kouji got around to reading the other message—and saw that there was apparently a “P.S.” that came from her as well.
“Ah. At least she sent word now… time to get to this breeding again,” he said to himself, quickly punching up another set of codes and then watching as the Transporter went off; and then two capsules appeared. One of them happened to be a Net Ball where a Walrein was looking up at him, quite shocked to be out of “cold storage”; while the other one was apparently a Heavy Ball—and there was something inside that he didn’t recognize. “Ooh, I think I know what she’s up to…” he muttered to himself as he then headed out and set the two loose. The first one he was sort of familiar with; having worked with her before—it was Myrina, her Walrein. The other one was a surprise—it looked like a gray-colored bipedal rhinoceros, before he blinked again. “Well, Myri. This is… uhh… Winston, right?” he said tentatively in the Rhydon’s direction; before said Rhydon nodded approvingly. “Have at it, okay? You mistress is apparently on a gift-giving spree now and wants to give this ‘Josh’ guy a Rhyhorn,” he added, petting the Walrein affectionately on its head, before giving a bow in the Rhydon’s direction—and then beating it out of there, because there was no way in hell he was going to get caught in the rampage of a male in heat!

calming the savage beast
554
As was his usual routine, Kouji had settled down to another pot of tea and a copy of the Unova Daily when he thought he heard another dull roar coming from outside. “Nope, that can’t be…” he muttered to himself as he then reached for the cup and took a sip, while scanning the newspaper as well for some news… well, anything that could be linked to Breeders like himself. It wasn’t until a few seconds later that the roar was heard once again, and he groaned; he could only guess what was wrong this time. He then set down his reading glasses and the newspaper, before placing the teacup on its saucer and going over to the storeroom—he already had a slight suspicion about the roaring noises. That usually means nothing good… he thought to himself as he then plucked one funky-smelling mushroom from his stores and then headed out—and very nearly got flattened by a Walrein that was running away from a hot-headed Rhydon!
“Shoot,” he said, quickly calming down the Walrein with a few gentle words, before squaring his shoulders and then marching off towards the bull-headed rhydon, who was now apparently taking out his rage on the huge “Grappling Rock” that he’d placed on the grounds. He could only wonder as to where all the other ‘mons were that frequented the Rock; but apparently, they were hiding—because nobody really wanted to get in the way of a rampaging male now, did they? “Hey. HEY! Winston!” he said, his voice rising in pitch until it became a shout over the din of smashing and crashing. “Winston! Stop that this instant, you’re going to destroy the Grappling Rock!” he continued; and over the din, he then cupped his hands and then tried to catch the Rhydon’s attention. After a few moments of shouting, he realized that it wasn’t going to be easy, so with a sigh, he then plucked a certain PokeBall and then sent out his Krookodile.
“Desperate times call for desperate measures, Hie. I’ll back off first, then use Earthquake around that crazy Rhydon, okay?” he said in his trusty Desert Croc’s direction, before slowly backing away and then giving the order, “Alright, let it rip! Small-scale Earthquake around the Rhydon, now! Don’t break the Grappling Rock!” and the Desert Croc gleefully complied, letting the vicinity tremble and quake. Apparently, that was enough to snap the Rhydon out of its stampeding rage; who then looked up and saw that there was a Krookodile—as well as a very secretly pissed-off Breeder, looking down at him. “Winston,” he began again, this time holding the mushroom. “Please don’t scare the hell out of all the occupants by rampaging around like that—it’s not good for everyone’s health. Haven’t you noticed where your partner is?” and at this point, a very hesitant Walrein appeared over Kouji’s shoulder. “Now, if you please, take the rage and save it for later? Here, have something to soothe your nerves,” he added, quickly feeding the mushroom to said Rhydon, and then slowly backing away along with his Krookodile, before quickly recalling said Desert Croc and then leaving them with a few more words, “You have to apologize to her. Okay? Now, please be on your best behavior,” and with that, he fled the scene!

Thomas had heard from Izumi that Kouji had a new egg available for claiming. In this case, a Rhydon and a Walrein bred together, both of them belonging to her. Thomas was happy that she told him about this, since he had an interest in getting a Rhyhorn. Perhaps if he ever needed a Pokemon bred, he'd go to this Kouji fellow to get the breeding attempt going.
The trainer walked into the ranch again, hands in his pockets as he headed for the counter. Izumi told him that the egg would run him fifteen dots, a cost he was more than happy to pay for a good Pokemon like Rhyhorn.
"Izumi told me that you had one egg available from a Rhydon and Walrein breeding, and that it would run me fifteen dots. Is it still available, or has it been claimed already?", inquired Thomas, who pulled out the money from the pocket of his jeans.

After another call from Izumi, Josh had headed to the ranch to pick up the TWO eggs she'd set aside for him, well, one was set aside, and one had been purchased on his end. Ah, Izumi, he thought, I love you so much, he thought, in terms of the Rhyhorn egg offered. He couldn't help but laugh at the thought as he arrived. He shot a smile to the ranch assistants, as they'd gotten used to seeing him regularly around there. "Hey guys" he said. "Where's the eggs that Zuzu asked me to pick up? Seems she's got some spring cleaning to do. I already paid for the Spheal egg, of course, she should have received the payment the other day"
The assistants nodded and brought him over to the area set aside for eggs that were being shipped out and he was led to the two brought for him. "Alright, I'm going to need a bigger bag for this" he said with a laugh as he took both incubation containers with the eggs inside. Of course, he'd brought along a bigger bag just for the occasion, so he unzipped the bag and placed them both into the sections set aside for them. And then with regards given to Izumi and goodbyes said, he was off again to get back to his journey.

A frog and a poisonous seahorse. What could go wrong...
577
Little did he know that his way of “calming down the savage beast” was too effective—and when he saw that there were three eggs waiting for him; he was surprised. “Well, then, guess it does work after all. If they start overreacting, clobber some sense into them,” he remarked with a chuckle—before hearing two familiar voices via the Intercom system! “Welp, here goes nothing,” he said, quickly hoisting the loaded Incubators into his hands—and seeing that the people waiting were two returning customers. Grinning, he then set off to work, setting down one incubator in front of Thomas. “Here he is, all yours. Thanks for the quick cash,” he added, pocketing it for now—he’d have to drop it into the safety box later. The other two eggs went to Josh; and he only needed to pay for the other one—as the Rhyhorn was a freebie, in any case! “Enjoy the little ones!” he said to the two, waving as they then left the premises—before feeling his phone vibrate and buzz. Looks like it’s time to get to work again… only thing is, this might be a bit of a risky venture… he thought to himself as he then scanned the message; swiping through the screens before heading over to the Transporter—where it suddenly went off and deposited a Pokeball containing a Skrelp for him to use.
He knew that his benefactor already had a Skrelp; however there was something else involved—this Skrelp knew a certain move; for a certain ‘mon that she wanted to try and raise. Grinning, he then realized just why he’d received the Froakie from her—she wanted one that knew this certain move, and not the other one that she’d traded one of those weird sparkling marbles for! “Alright, time to get the magic…” he muttered, grinning as he then walked outside to the Ranch proper, tossing the Skrelp’s ball in his free hand. now that his Ranch was slowly but surely filling up with ‘mons of different Types, he could take a rest and watch the madness now—the Fighting-types were over at the Grappling Rock as usual; the Water types were lounging in the surf… but the other pair he needed was apparently trying to scale a tree! “Hoo boy, really?” he said, seeing that there was one tree with a very agitated-looking Froakie trying to jump higher and higher; if but to reach its top—and when he got close enough, he realized what Kieli was up to—she wanted to challenge Yamori, yet again!
“Geez, she’s one persistent frog…” he muttered to himself, realizing that he had a possible future fighter on his hands, as he whistled and caught her attention. “Hey. Hey, Kieli! Can you quit bothering Yamori for a moment? I need to talk to you,” he said, and watched as the Bubble Frog then huffed in the tree’s direction before heading his way; and then looking up at him expectantly. “So… I want you to try playing with this fellow here…” he remarked, before sending out the borrowed Skrelp and watching s the flash of red light turned into the Mock Kelp ‘mon. “Now… be nice to Kieli, okay?” he said particularly towards the Skrelp’s direction; who regarded him with some confusion before turning to the Froakie—and then a leer crossed its face. Kouji then quickly fled the scene, leaving the two to do their own thing…

Apparently her sponsor had “caught on” with the fact that she was up to something, because there was a new message from him stating that there was a Froakie egg with her name on it! Thankfully she was in the vicinity, so she could go pick it up herself—what she was not expecting, however, was the fact that there was a Chansey behind the counter when she made her appearance at his ranch! “Heh, looks like he’s been real busy, indeed,” she added with a chuckle, before the Chansey then looked up with this “How may I help you” expression on its face. “Uhh… is your master around? I’m here for that Froakie egg…” she trailed off, a tone of uncertainty in her voice, before hesitantly looking at the Chansey—and then said Chansey nodded before hobbling off to the back room. She then decided that it wasn’t so bad, and then sat down on the couches that were available there, at least for a while—after waiting approximately ten minutes the Chansey was now in front of her; along with a Krookodile that was carrying an incubator that housed said Froakie egg.
“Oh, there it is,” she said, quickly giving the Chansey a pat on the head; before gently taking the occupied Incubator out of the Krookodile’s hands—she could only guess what he was doing right now. “Oh, right, here,” she continued, reaching for her trusted notepad and then scribbling a quick note, before ripping the piece of paper and folding it in half—and then passing it to the Chansey. “Give this to your master for me, okay? Make sure he sees it,” she added, before standing up and holding the Incubator in her other hand. She knew that she owed him again for this—and quite soon, in the future, for another requested breeding that she asked him to do “under the table” for her; because she’d found out that Josh had wanted a Froakie of his own as well! The Krookodile continued to leer at her until she’d exited the premises, before returning back to the Ranch proper out back; whereas the Chansey then trotted off to the Nursery to take care of the other egg that he was going to keep for himself.

another breeding!

He knew that he had to get to some extra breeding requests this week, but who would he do it for? He then knew that the recipient of the Houndour egg—well, it was a Houndour now since he knew that the hatching date had come and gone—was a Fire-type Gym Leader; however he was surprised at the number of ‘mons he had available for him to use. “Well, it wouldn’t hurt too much if I bred ‘mons for the League…” he muttered to himself, looking over at Neili, his Chansey who was waiting expectantly for him to give her instructions. “Alright, give me a second, let me just grab the ‘mon…” he said, walking over to the Transporter and then punching in some commands. A few moments later, one PokeBall then plopped into the Transporter and he then scooped them up; before looking down at the Chansey. “Nei, I want you to guard the two of them; who knows what might happen during…the process,” he trailed off with an embarrassed look on his face; before walking out the back—the Chansey then followed him as well.
Once he was out on the expansive fields of the Ranch, he then sent out the occupants of the lone Pokeball—he was familiar with the occupant of this one he’ borrowed from his sponsor by this point; because he’d already bred them together once before, albeit with a different female partner; for a very close friend. He then watched as the flash of light transformed into her Lampent, who then looked up at him with its flickering, baleful fire. “Whoa there. No trying to suck out my soul, okay?” he said, quickly rubbing his eyes and then looking around—before finding his own Slugma, Liekki, sunbathing not too far away! With a few whistles; the Slugma then ambled over to where he was; before looking up at him curiously. “Alright, be nice to Liekki, okay?” he said particularly to the Lampent’s direction; before the Chansey had finally caught up with him and then ambled out from behind where he stood. “If you need anything… let Nei here know, okay?” he said, before leaving them alone for what they needed to do…

Kouji then yawned as he pulled himself up from the chair where he’d apparently dozed off and then shuffled through his phone, trying to see if there was something he needed to get to—and then he remembered; he was supposed to breed something for a friend of his benefactor’s again! “Oops, how could I forget…” he muttered, quickly pulling himself to the bathroom and taking a quick shower; and then getting swept up in a whirlwind of activity so that he could get ready for the day. Some twenty minutes later. He then ambled down from the second story of the Ranch building (where his room was located) and then quickly went over to the Transporter, punching in the commands he already knew by heart now. After hearing it go off, he watched and waited; before a particular-looking Heavy Ball appeared; along with another unusual-looking one he hadn’t figured out what the name was yet.
Scooping both of them up, he then shuffled to check his online stall and saw that the two Eggs he’d left for the Gym Leader had already been taken, along with a note of thanks—and he then pocketed the thing as he stepped outside and then sent both of the occupants out—the first one turned into a triangular-shaped thing that was just… trembling to all hell; which he recognized as a Snorunt; whereas the other one materialized into something… really tall; not to mention really loud! The Onix then gave a bellowing roar; to which he then covered his ears with his hands before trying to catch his attention. Geez, this is ridiculous… he thought to himself as he squatted down and then looked at the trembling Snorunt. “Uhh… Hyouga, right? Don’t be scared of the big girl. Just… don’t be too intimidated, okay?” he said, giving the poor thing a head pat; before looking up at the Onix—which was now leering down at him. “Yeah. Be nice to Hyouga here, don’t squish him, okay?” he shouted up at the Onix’s direction; to which it gave a slight wag of its tail (if that could be considered wagging) and then left the two to their own devices.

Josh cracked his neck as he walked into the breeding center. He swore, why was he never around when Izumi was? He always enjoyed teasing the woman, but they seemed to rotate in and out at the same time. But, Josh supposed he could always just call Izumi and set up a meeting. I mean, a phone call was why he was here to begin with, even if he was like, a day late. Regardless, Josh walked into the breeding center and ranch and looked around. Quickly, he knew what to do and consulted a worker. "Here to pick up the Onix and Snorunt eggs Izumi left for me" he said. When asked about the name, he would simply reply with "Josh Dragomir. Tall blonde guy that calls Izumi smelly, if she asks who picked them up" he said with a small smile. Of course, he was a regular customer, so the worker knew what he meant. He was also pleased to find a nice discount on one of the eggs due to that, and happily paid the $15 before taking the Onix and Snorunt eggs as planned, walking out after bidding farewell.
