Kouji knew that today was “chaining time”; because there was now a female Seel that had joined the ranks of his Water-types who were just… derping around in the surf and plain having fun, enjoying life. “Yeesh, I need to keep expanding the grounds… I might end up having to buy an entire island from the Humilau government just to hold all of these guys in…” he said with a sheepish shake of his head as he then looked at his phone—an alarm was going off; it was reminding him that it was time to proceed with the next stages of the plan. Hopefully I get three from this attempt… because someone apparently called dibs, and another client of mine just wants an adorable Seel of their own… he thought with this look on his face as he scratched his head before looking around at the… zoo of Pokémon that were now running wild over at the Ranch!
“Yeah, definitely needs more ground,” he muttered as he yelped and ducked for cover as a Skarmory then came in low, swooping to briefly give Kouji a peck on the head in greeting “Ouch! Aine, you know that’s not fair!” he shouted at the Skarmory that was now speeding away from him—and he could swear he heard a derisive-sounding grunt coming from the weird metallic bird’s direction. “Anyway… Lorelei and Karitt, Lorelei and Karitt…” he repeated to himself as he turned his eyes towards the ever-expanding shoreline; and immediately spotting the female Seel—it had apparently waddled around the beach line so much there was sand and grit all over its body. “Lorelei… oh, what am I going to do with you…” he said with a chuckle as he picked up the playful Sea Lion Pokémon, who then attempted to give him a warm, wet kiss on the face while she squirmed in his grip! “Hey, no fair, you know I can’t fight back!” he chuckled, trying his best to keep the Seel entertained as he continued looking through the shallow surf for the male Horsea that belonged to him up until a certain point in time.
After searching, he finally found Karitt—and boy was he in the middle of something! Apparently, from the looks of things, the two Horsea (both male and female) had had another fight and the male one was drenched with ink from Kaira’s attacks (and rage). “Geez… Ira handed your ass to you again, Kai? That’s gotta suck…” he said with a sympathetic chuckle as he then let the Seel jump free from his arms and watched as the white Pokemon waded into the surf. “Alright… Karitt, Lorelei… let’s see how you two work well together…” he said with a grin, leaving the two alone—and then feeling something getting squirted on his back—apparently the female Horsea was still mad at him! “Ugh, gross…” he said, slapping a palm to his face—now one of his favorite shirts would take an unexpected trip to the washing machine once he got back to the living quarters of the Ranch…

He thought he heard something… unearthly as he looked up from the newspaper that he was reading—and had a suspicion that something was wrong. As if on cue, he saw the round, pink Chansey appear at the door, with a completely worried look on her face. “Let me guess… no go?” he said with this exasperated look on his face, before the Egg ‘mon nodded his way. “Shit. Time to buy more of those nauseating mushrooms…” he muttered as he followed the Chansey down the stairs and stopped at the store room, going inside and retrieving the very last mushroom that he had left in his stores. “Well, this is a solid reminder for me to go shopping soon…” he muttered, quickly following the worried Chansey outside. It didn’t take too long for Kouji to spot the two ‘mons… and as always, they were not facing each other.
More like, the Seel was covered in all manner of grit and sand; while the Horsea was still in the water; spitting out ink instead of water; in an attempt to repel the rambunctious Seel. “Oh, shoot. Lorelei…”he began in this stern tone that he would usually adopt whenever any single one of his Pokémon were caught in the middle of misbehaving. “Can you please try not to piss Karitt off? He’s spitting ink all over you…” he continued, before gently walking over to the Seel and brushing off all the grit he could reach—while avoiding the overly-affectionate Sea Lion’s tongue from licking his face! “Alright… there… let’s try this again, shall we…” he muttered, quickly dropping the mushroom on the sand; before staggering back—because the smell was starting to overpower the two quarrelling ‘mons now; and him as well!

She had been informed that there was a Seel egg with her name on it, and that it was ready for pick-up. What she was not expecting, however, was the fact that the person who’d sent her the message wasn’t at the Ranch when Izumi decided to drop by—instead she had run into the familiar-looking, purple-haired, green-haired, mad-scientist type assistant he’d decided to hire to cover for him whenever he was away on “business” (which she totally knew where he was headed; it was just that she decided to not disclose anything about it). As she strode into the formal “front office” of the Ranch, she was surprised to see that the assistant had placed what looked like a “tool box” atop the counter and was in the middle of putting it away; when she cleared her throat, catching him completely and totally off-guard.
“Sorry if I scared you like that. I’m here to pick up the Seel egg he reserved for me,” she said with a grin, before sliding an Incubator on the counter—she preferred bringing her own rather than having an entire mass of them kept in a storehouse she would eventually end up abandoning. She then parked herself on the battered, yet extremely comfortable couch that was located near the door—she knew that he would have to go into the “Nursery”—or wherever that was—in order to be able to get the egg that she was waiting for. It had taken some time, but her attention was drawn by the same assistant who had already nestled the Seel egg into her own Incubator, and was trying to call her attention—by rapping on her forehead. “Ouch, hey, no need to knock so hard,” she said with a chuckle, taking the now-occupied Incubator from his hands and then retorting with a flick to his own forehead—she wasn’t expecting it to connect, and to hear him yelp out of shock!
“Oh my god I am so sorry… not!” she said with a chuckle as she stood up and exited the premises. “Tell your boss thanks again,” she said as she closed the door with a snap.

He was surprised to have been called in so early in the month—he then realized that his “boss” ahd gone off and left the Unova region for his monthly “excursions” in another region altogether! “Ach, so tha’s why he calls me as early as now,” he muttered, quickly picking up his satchel as well as his toolbox, before heading out to the Ranch where he worked part-time. He chuckled a bit as he slipped in the “back entrance”, seeing that the grounds had been drastically expanded on; and that… there were a lot more ‘mons walking around as always. “I wonder if he left me some work…” he muttered, quickly setting down his tool box near the counter, and then saw that there was a sealed envelope. “Heh, so ‘e did, so ‘e did…” he muttered, quickly ripping the envelope open and seeing that it was a set of instructions that had been left for him—and that there was another breeding request that needed some attending to; since it had been sent to him just after he’d left.
“A’igh, so some’un needs a Mudkip bred. Let me jus’ get to tha’ Transport’r,” he muttered, quickly walking over to the weird machine and then punching in the coordinates that had been left for him to use—since apparently the Mudkip that was going to be used was not coming from the stock that was currently running wild around the Ranch as of the moment. A few moments later, a distinctly-marked PokeBall housing an… abnormally calm Mudkip that was just sitting within the containment unit, looking up at him with an oddly poker-faced expression. “Creepy li’l shit,” he was heard to mutter as he walked outside—looking for the “winter wonderland”; because he knew that his “boss” had a female Snover walking around somewhere. “A’ight, so… Comet?! Hey, Comet?! Where ya at?!” he shouted as he lingered outside the frozen part of the Ranch grounds, waiting for the weird Frosted Tree ‘mon to emerge. After hollering for the Snover a few more times, he then watched as a tree waddled out, and he noticed that unlike Frosty, the other Snover—this one didn’t have an additional brown stripe across its belly.
“A’ight, so… meet Dunamus,” he continued, sending out the abnormally calm Mudkip for the precocious Snover to look at. “Be nice to ‘im, okay? An’… an’ try to make ‘im a bit more playful, that blank stare just creeps the hell outta me…” he added, as he then left the two alone to their own devices.

Yumi wandered into the sakuraba ranch with some dots in hands and an apologetic smile as she walked in to pick up an egg for a mudkip she was supposed to grab. "Hey there Kouji, heh, sorry again for bailing on that safari trip. Ended up having a bit of an emergency, my nidoking and dusknoir got into a bit of a rumble, nearly trashed the whole place"

The assistant hadn’t realized that it had been a very slow week—not until his mobile phone then started beeping; and then saw that he had a few requests to fulfill in order to be able to keep up with the quota that they needed to get to—and that there was a request of some assistance needed for one of the Ranch’s more frequent clients; in particular it was for the blond-headed, scruffy-looking individual who seemed to know his boss’, well “boss” from somewhere. Wondering if there really was something that was up in the rafters, he then realized that most of everything he needed was already present at the Ranch—all he needed to do was to walk out back and then search for the two pairs he’d need to breed for today. “Heh, ‘s easy enough fa’ me ta’ get to,” he said with a chuckle as he then wrote down the details that he needed. Accompanied by the Ranch’s Chansey, he then set out—looking for the first pair that he needed to get going with. “Flygo’ and the little Jol’ik, eh? ‘S easy enough,” he added with another cheeky grin as he then saw that the little female Bug-type was hanging around near a tree.
With a few whistles, he then saw then little ball of yellow energy leap right at him and hitched a ride—now he was looking for the much larger Flygon. “Hmmm,” he muttered, looking around in the sky and then resorting to yelling for the weird, dragonfly-like creature. After a few minutes of hollering, a shadow then swooped down from the sky—and it was the Flygon, looking at him rather inquiringly. “Yeah, so someone wants you two to… yea’, in any case’, you two have fun, a’kay?” he said with a nervous chuckle as the Joltik then leapt on the Flygon’s shoulder and then bounded away into the distance. Now that the first pair had been matched up, he then directed his foot steps towards one of the places which was… literally blazing with fire. “Ugh, so ho’,” he hissed, wiping the sweat pouring off from his forehead as he finally located the Magmar and the Chimchar that were sparring within the area.
“Yo, Pan’i, Agni. Can you two please be nice ta’ each oth’a?” he asked with a sheepish grin on his face as he then led the two away from the superheated “sparring ring”… and then left the two pairs alone to their devices!

The assistant was quite surprised himself—one of the breeding requests was a success; while the other, surprisingly, didn’t produce anything at all. No eggs, no nothing. No spark, even. The ironic thing about this was that it was the pairing with the Chimchar that had spouted out two eggs—and another text message he’d gotten a few hours earlier had the eggs now reserved to the same scruffy, blond-haired guy that he’d seen drop by a few times (little did he know that aforementioned blond-haired guy was now brown-haired, but that’s for another day) the Ranch and get the eggs that had been marked down in his name. Upon seeing the frantic, worried-looking Chansey appear from beyond the door where he was currently trying to work on disassembling another alarm clock so that he could get at its spare pieces and inner workings, he sighed and then left the work table.
“Ach, looks like one a’ ‘em failed…” he said with a sigh as he followed the Egg Pokémon out to the back. Once he had gotten outside again, he then saw that the Flygon and the Joltik weren’t really… meshing too well with each other. Wondering if it had something to do with the fact that the Flygon was part-Ground, he then began rummaging around in his pocket… and then finding a squished package; it was a mushroom he’d had the “foresight” (without psychic powers of course, just a nagging instinct) to purchase before heading out here. “A’ight, ‘ere goes…” he said, dropping the yellowish, funky-smelling mushroom between the Joltik and the Flygon who weren’t really seeing eye-to-eye at the very moment.

After receiving word that his boss was going to be part of something “new”, the assistant could only shake his head in wonder—was this reason why, all of a sudden, he was being asked to breed just the Water-types for this endeavor? He could only shrug—and then checked the little notepad for any additional information he might have missed; and then saw that the feisty, overly-affectionate Seel was well-rested and ready to begin another series of breeding rounds. He then thought; why not breed more to add to the mix? I know that the more, would certainly be the merrier in this case… he mused to himself as he then ambled out to the back, closely followed by the Chansey who had sort of taken it onto herself to keep an eye on the purple-haired individual. “Le’s see ‘ere… the message says ta breed a pair a’ Seel… might as we’ make it one, bi’ happy fam’,” he chuckled as he began looking around the saltwater surf—he could swear that his boss had a female Seel around here somewhere…
After walking along the extended beach line, he was suddenly tackled by a white blur—he looked down and saw that it was the overly-affectionate, loving white sea lion-like Pokémon that he was looking for! “Hey the’, Lorel’i,” he began, scooping up the Seel as she attempted to give him a big, wet, sloppy kiss. “I know yer very ‘appy ta see me, bu’ I need ya ta calm down, ‘kay?” he said, trying to fend himself from the slobbering, drooling Seel that had managed to land a big, wet kiss on his cheek before he’d managed to pin her down with his free arm! After that little debacle, he continued to walk along the shoreline—and caught sight of the dopey-looking Slowpoke that was still attempting to fish off from the man-made pier with its tail, not giving two shits in the world. “He’. ‘Ey, Alista’r!” he shouted, trying to catch the attention of the weird, slow-looking… well, Slowpoke, and after around five minutes of continuous attempts to catch his attention, the pink, Dopey ‘mon looked up and then saw that the weird, purple-haired guy was headed his way.
Two minutes later, he now held a Seel under his right hand (who was still trying to wiggle her way up for another wet kiss on the face) and a Slowpoke under his left; and was now looking for the two Horsea that were… apparently having a sparring match in the shallow surf. “Oy,” was all he had time for as he then whistled a sharp tune; that made both Horsea look up at him. “He’. You two, can the fightin’ for a bit and loo’ ‘ere. I gots Lorel’i and Alista’r. Can you two coop’ra’e long enough for me, please? Yer… yer boss wants me ta do somethin’. I’m here ta do it in his pla’e,” he said, letting the Seel and Slowpoke jump free from his arms and then watched as they waddled and… waded over to the two Horsea who were now regarding the two with some point of interest.

The Chansey just knew when to make her presence felt—he was currently organizing the tools in his tool box when he saw the pink Egg ‘mon appear from beyond the doorway and motioning at him to come follow her. “Eh? Wha’s the matt’r?” he asked with this curious look on his face—he then stood up from the table where he was busy inventorying his things and just followed the pink blob out to the back. One of the two pairs had succeeded in getting an egg; but the other pair—he could guess it was because of the feisty female Horsea—hadn’t gotten anything out of it. “Oy,” was all he could say, before the Chansey hobbled over to pick up the egg from the other pair’s breeding attempt—and then left the scene; most likely to take it to the nursery in order to care for the young one. “Ah, I go’ it,” he then said, noticing that the female Horsea was spitting mad at the male Slowpoke, who looked completely and totally oblivious at the matter.
Several minutes later, he was back; and was holding one of the weird-smelling mushrooms in his hands; his boss had left him a note and some extra money lying around just in case he got a dud attempt—and panicked and lost his cool again. “Hah!” was all he had time to gloat for, before cautiously approaching the steaming Horsea—why was her partner so unwilling to rise up to the challenge? “You… b’ nice now,” he said with a stern tone, directed at the female Horsea who was now spitting out ink in bursts. “Try ta’ make ‘im feel com’table, okay?” before dropping the funky-smelling mushroom between the two—and making a mad break for it in case he was squirted with ink from the mad sea horse.
