[A masked man shows himself. Those who watch the network might recognize him as the breeder of Egglysium notoriety. Those who went to prom might more quickly suss him out as the guy who went bananas with the help of his Tropius and Swanna. But that isn't why he's here.]

This is a call to request all holders of Pikachu to contact me. If I could collect them in loan or trade, I would be very grateful. The more the merrier as they are simply unavailable near my home.

[He taps his chin as a smile spreads on his face.]

Curious thing, isn't it, that a rodent might find itself with such low spread across the landmasses. According to my books, it breeds well enough, so perhaps it simply cannot compete here.

[He loves a man in trouble. He raises his brows, even if that motion is hidden by the mask.]

There are many yellow mouse-type creatures, all electric typed, too. It does need to be the genuine article. I could purchase them... If I don't have something else worth more than money to you.

But let us speak of currency. How much would you like per head?

[adandyinspace]

Worth more than money, huh? ...I mean, unless you got some sweet vintage shit lyin' around, I'm kinda strapped for cash.

[But right, let's get down to business.]

I'm callin' 1500 per rodent, that's about as much as eggs go, yeah? Only now you don't have to deal with the hassle of hatchin' it yourself, honestly it's a steal.

[hythlodaeus]

You treasure vintage objects? Curious. I will keep that in mind.

[He picks up his ledger and licks his pen. He does the math fast enough that it seems like he hasn't thought about it at all.]

Very well. You will need to transport them to my lodge as well, of course. I have far too many hatchlings to leave them unattended for long. I can provide a traveling stipend if you manage to capture at least five of them.

How quickly can you get to Goldenrod? Can you fly?

[adandyinspace]

[And just like that, all of his dreams die.]

Hey! So, about that.

No.

You sure you can't just...leave for a little bit or somethin'? Hit up a PC? That's how I usually do this kinda shit...

[hythlodaeus]

I am a half a day's journey south of the city and I'm so terribly busy. Not to mention elderly.

[He taps his pen and bites his lip. Wow, what an inconvenience from his warm and dry location! ]

Listen, now. I will double your fee if you can find some way here. Or perhaps you can take them to Saffron city. There is a Gym Leader who may be able to receive them in my stead. Though if you cannot fly... You will have to take the stairs.

[adandyinspace]

[Dandy screams internally, he would LOVE double the fee, but he knows deep within his heart that it's just out of reach.

But he's so, so desperate.]

Okay, I think I need to spell out my situation here, 'cuz there is no way in hell any of that is happening. For some reason, I lost all my badges, all my fancy warp points, and now I'm currently in the middle of trying to get the rest of my goddamn team from some ranch on the other side of an entire region. On foot.

I don't even know when I'm gonna get out of this fucking forest and hit Pewter, let alone Saffron. So I can dump five Pikachu in your PC and they can wait for your old ass to pick 'em up whenever you feel like it, or you are gonna wait way longer than half a day.

[hythlodaeus]

Hahaha! You are in quite the predicament, aren't you? I'll let it slide this time. After all, you have several little rats to catch in your current bedraggled state. Do be aware that water does conduct electricity, and I would hate for you to perish on my account.

[He sighs softly as he scribbles a note. This will be faster probably, but more effort on his part.]

Where is it you are headed- and what is your name?

[adandyinspace]

[What? That worked?! Well shit, score!]

They call me Dandy, and...I guess I'm gonna need your name too so I'm not, like, stuck with six of these damn things...

[Look, he likes his, but something something more mouths to feed. Honestly, he doesn't know how these breeders put up with it, but whatever.]

If you really gotta know, I'm on my way to Lavender Town, but that's only because it's close to wherever the hell this ranch is at. Apparently it's the ghost capitol of the world or something, so if a rat kills my ass, maybe I'll get there faster.

[Haha...ha...this trip sucks.]
