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

Skitty

Eevees and the Espurr are 2000P each. Skitties are 1500P each.

[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.
