Surprise eggs!

[crystalmaster]

[Radley is standing in front of the couch, which is filled with eggs. On the back of the couch, Kiryu and Isla are both proudly sitting up like people, with front paws held up by their chests.]

Do your four-legged Pokemon ever do this?

[He chuckles.]

Isla does it a lot and now she's taught it to Kiryu. I haven't seen any of the others do it much, although Evie does it every now and then. It's pretty cute.

Anyway, so my Pokemon have been feeling really happy ever since I got back. So happy that some of them decided to make eggs. I've got three eggs from Evie and Evan, two from Isla and Kiryu, and ... well, it looks like my Skitty and my Espurr decided to get together too?

[Cuddles the Skitty purrs on the couch arm.]

I've got six eggs from that couple. Most of these are Skitty eggs, but it looks like I also see an Espurr egg?

[He hadn't realized different species couples could ever result in any of the eggs being the father's species unless the mother was a Ditto. He knows now.]

So here's the rundown.

Evie and Evan's kids can have these moves:

Charm, Copycat, Helping Hand, Quick Attack, Sand Attack, Swift, Tackle, Tail Whip, Take Down

Isla and Kiryu's kids can have these moves:

Baby Doll Eyes, Bite, Growl, Helping Hand, Quick Attack, Sand Attack, Swift, Tackle, Take Down

There's a chance of any of them having the Skill Run Away.

Cuddles and Elliott's kids can have these moves:

Assist, Charm, Copycat, Disarming Voice, Fake Out, Foresight, Growl, Heal Bell, Sing, Tackle

Seto Kaiba asked me for an Eevee, so I have one egg reserved for him. All the others are available! If you're getting an Eevee, just tell me which moveset you'd like.

EDIT 9/22: I'm taking these other eggs off the market now. They've been here so long, the parents are hoping to keep them. Maybe it's not good business sense in one way, but in another, keeping the parents happy means more eggs in the future.

(That, plus I'm a big softie with these sweethearts.)

Eevee:

1. blue_ice - Evie and Evan's
2. phoenixwiz - Evie and Evan's
3. Evie and Evan's
4. grice - Isla and Kiryu's
5. Isla and Kiryu's

[ Already? That's surprising. But he looks relieved, and the proud parents' antics are cute. He smiles a little. ]

Thanks. I'll have the fee for one by the end of the week, and then it's a few days ride from Violet to pick up the egg.

Mm, I've read that Eevee is one of the most versatile Pokémon there is, and they can evolve into one of eight forms. Have you evolved any yet?

[crystalmaster]

Oh, I deliver! I can easily use the Warp Pads to bring it to you when you're ready. Do you have a preference for moveset?

Yeah, it's pretty amazing! I haven't evolved any, but I will if any of them tell me they're ready.

[He supposes some will want to eventually, at least.]

[blue_ice]

I'll take one of Evie and Evan's. And that would be great, I'm based in the Violet Pokémon Center for the week.

In that case I'll bring them to meet the parents when they hatch.

[crystalmaster]

Cool. Okay, that's perfect!

Hey, that would be really nice. [He smiles wistfully.] They haven't seen any of the kids from the eggs I sold, except the one that came back to me.

[blue_ice]

All right. I'll have the payment for the egg on Saturday.

I might have a few questions about raising them once it hatches.

[crystalmaster]

Great, I'll make sure I'm free that day.

They're pretty easy to raise, luckily! But I'd be happy to answer any questions.

[phoenixwiz]

(He has seen eggs hatching before, namely dragon eggs, even though he has never witnessed a Pokémon eg hatching in his life. But Harry can’t help looking at the eggs and he begins to wonder which eggs to get. He has Lily and Rowan having a sibling like friendship, so why not give Lily a friend from her kind too?)

Wow! Congratulations on the eggs, Radley. I’m very interested in seeing them eventually growing up to be really amazing Pokémon. And I just so happen to gain money from working at Cherrygrove’s Pokémon Centre and winning a couple of trainer battles ever since arriving at Jotho.

I could spare some money to get an Eevee egg.

[crystalmaster]

Thanks! It's been an interesting day.

That's great! I could come by with it.

[phoenixwiz]

Oh gee, thank you so much, Radley. And don’t worry, I will take very good care of the egg and eventually whoever hatches from it.

[crystalmaster]

I know you will.

[Radley smiles.]

I could bring it by now if you'd like. Oh, which moveset would you like?

[phoenixwiz]

Wait, you can bring the egg over right now? Oh yes please, feel free to drop by the Centre. I’m almost done with my shift, so I will be to see it.

As for which moveset, I’m gonna go with the one from Evie and Evan’s eggs.

[crystalmaster]

Oh yeah, the Warp Pads make it pretty easy! We'll be over!

[Radley soon sets out with some of his Pokemon and the egg. He rests between each warp so he doesn't get dizzy, but still arrives pretty soon and looks around for Harry.]

[phoenixwiz]

(As soon as he is done with his Pokemon Center shift for the day (when you’re 2 years short of getting a full time job in this world, you have to make the best of what you can do), Harry quickly gathers his team at the room they’re currently staying at to meet up with Radley and see the next new member of the team.

Nervousness and excitement run wild as he gets to the lobby to find Radley, his team and the Eevee egg. Violet has her curiosity peaked upon learning that her Trainer is gettin a new member into the team. Could it be another Eevee too?)

[crystalmaster]

[Radley and the group are there when Harry arrives.]

Hi!

[He smiles, holding out the egg.]

Here it is.

[The Eevees with him warble. Evie and Evan are happy for a friend to get one of their eggs.]

[phoenixwiz]

Ei-vui!

(Violet happily jumps about in happiness as Harry accepts the Eevee egg and everyone else cheers in relief. He then rocks the egg gently in his arms.)

Oh gee, thank you so much, Radley. I will take good care of this Egg well.

[crystalmaster]

[Evie starts to jump with her!

Radley smiles.]

I know you will. Let us know when it hatches.

[phoenixwiz]

Don’t worry, I will make sure to bring the update to you as soon as it hatches.

Growl-lithe, Growl!

(Godric meanwhile wonders if he could help in providing heat for the egg in case it gets too cold, which leaves Lily quite terrified by that thought alone.)

[crystalmaster]

Great.

[Radley smiles.]

I guess you already know how to look after eggs, from what you said before?

[Evie looks worried too. "Vee?!" She knows Radley is afraid of getting torched by Fire types not knowing their own power.]

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah, a friend from my world showed me how a dragon’s egg hatches one time when I was very young, so I can handle looking after eggs like this one.

(Hagrid would be disappointed if Harry hasn’t forgotten everything he has taught him during the many times he visited his hut in Hogwarts. Lily tries to tell Godric not to jump first and use his fire moves without knowing how powerful his moves can be. And it didn’t take Harry long to notice the talk happening.)

Oh hey there, what’s with you guys trying to talk about warming up Eggs?

Dartrix, Dar! Dart-trix! Growl…

Huh, I see. Sorry Godric, but Evie and Lily are right: you just can’t use your Fire moves without knowing how strong they can be on an egg.

[crystalmaster]

Cool.

[Radley smiles, but then looks worried as he becomes aware of the conversation.

Evie nods. "Eevee!"

Radley hopes Godric will accept that.]

Yeah, we have to be really careful with eggs.

[He says to Godric.]

[phoenixwiz]

Growlithe, Growl, Growl-lithe.

(Godric promises Radley with his tail wagging behind. As much as he is sad that he can’t just use Fire moves to help the egg out of good intentions, he acknowledges that it is for the best for everyone and the egg.

In fact, Harry and his team can attest that he can accidentally set thing on fire as some of their Hisuian misadventures has him accidentally setting stuff ablaze.)

It’s okay, Godric. I know that you want to help, but eggs can be very fragile and they do need a lot of gentle care and handling before they hatch.

[crystalmaster]

They sure do. Maybe you can help keep it warm by gently cuddling it.

[Evie demonstrates by curling up around a lamppole.]

Yeah, like that.

[phoenixwiz]

Growl! Growlithe, Growl!

Do you guys see what Evie is showing us? You can do cuddle it or curl up around it to ensure that it will stay warm.

Eivui! Vui! Dart-Trix! Row-LET!

Great, now we have a way to how to keep the egg without the risk of setting things on fire. Will you guys promise help me in raising the egg before it will hatch and not accidentally putting it in harm’s way?

(Cue a resounding mix of happy hoots, growl, and yips vowing to help him.)

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles.]

It looks like everything's going to be okay.

[Evie warbles in triumph and uncurls from the lamppost.]

[phoenixwiz]

Yeah. It definitely is, Radley. We’ll be raising the egg starting today.

[crystalmaster]

Great! Good luck with it.

[Radley smiles and moves to walk back to the Warp Pad.]

video

[grice]

[ a curious young boy peers into the camera with a piplup in his lap. eggs, so this man must be a breeder, and not only that, but—! oh, he better get one thing out of the way, though. it was an opportunity. ]

Can I get an Eevee egg, sir? That'd be . . . From the second couple.

Re: video

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles at the boy.]

Sure! Where are you staying? I can bring it by if you're anywhere on the path I've been on.

[grice]

Oh— can you do that? I’ll be in Violet City by . . .

[ hold on, he has to spread his map out, and flip through his handbook. the piplup slides off his lap when he moves, and helpfully taps a flipper at his destination. ]

Tomorrow, I think. Would that work?

[crystalmaster]

[Radley smiles at the cute Piplup help.]

Yeah, that's perfect.

[Several Pokemon say Hello in the background.]

[grice]

Thank you, sir.

[ that’s the first time he’s done business— he’s definitely proud, but also! he’s surely taking mental notes. this is also the first time he’s seen an egg advertisement. he’s learning from it. ]

Have you been a breeder for long—?

[crystalmaster]

You're welcome!

I've been here since February, but I only started actually deliberately breeding a couple of months ago. I was trying to learn about it soon after I got here, though. I liked that better than making a career out of battling.

[grice]

I'm supposed to be a Breeder, too. [ he's excited about it, in fact! ] Does that mean you started out as a Trainer, or—?

[crystalmaster]

[He smiles at the excitement.]

I was never a Trainer, but it took me a while to figure out enough about breeding to try it. My first Eevees had a surprise egg before I was ready to start the business.

[He chuckles.]

And I've still got a lot to learn. But it's nice. Breeding is also a lot about caring for the Pokemon, making sure they're healthy and happy. A lot of Breeders make special Pokemon food, I've heard. I've been trying that out too.

[Evie warbles happily. She loves it!]

[grice]

[ oh, like— taking care of diets and such! that’s a wonderful idea that falco steadily begins daydreaming about. maybe not now, but someday, he could have his own home, and his own kitchen to make little foods for a “business”— ]

It all sounds fun. [ he gives his piplup a glance as he begins folding his map away. ] I don’t know when mine are supposed to start breeding. They seem so . . . Young?

[ he knows that is not the case, probably. but, you know! ]

[crystalmaster]

They sure do. Evie's been with me the longest, but she doesn't seem to understand being a mother ... or a grandmother. She thinks the kids are new friends to play with.

[He chuckles.]

But she's really protective and she likes cuddling with them when playtime's over.

[grice]

I guess it’s really different to Pokémon . . . [ this whole “breeding” thing. ] Well, thank you for the Egg, sir. I’ll let you know when I’m in Violet City to pay you.

[crystalmaster]

I think it depends a lot on personalities too. Their daddy seems to understand things better.

Okay! I'll bring it by when you're ready.
