[WELL IF IT ISN'T A NICE DAY IN ECRUTEAK CITY! The feed opens up to Kayneth bedecked in a fancy short-sleeved shirt and sitting in a lawnchair with a glass of champagne, a (finally) nice and well maintained lawn in view... though, there are some spots where it looks like grass and flowerbeds and whatnot have only been put in recently.

Funny, that!

Well, let's not dwell on Kayneth's gardening history for now, for he is, of course, going to talk at the camera, because of course he is.]

Well, it's certainly been an odd few weeks, hasn't it? Some things far more odd than others, of course, but that's simply par for the course here. Nevertheless, it does seem like the excitement has calmed down a bit, so I believe it's a perfect time for me to do some research.

I would, of course, ask you all for assistance in this, but it's not as though you'll go uncompensated for it.

[He gestures at the camera with his free hand, and it pans over to a fairly large pile of eggs, with a sign listing prices and species on it.]

I have quite a few Pokemon eggs on my hands, you see, and I'm quite interested in the results of my current breeding pairs. If you're willing to give me a brief report on the Pokemon you've bought once they hatch, then I'm willing to let you name your price --- to a certain extent, of course.

Furthermore, I have trained all these Pokemon, so if you'd like advice on what you might be dealing with, I'll be quite happy to provide you with the details.

[Red. Red you just got two dogs already. Red.]

What kind of information are you looking for in your reports?

Mostly what moves they hatch with, as I expect I can predict most of the moves they'll have but there may end up being a few surprises.

Aside from that, personality and any other quirks you may notice would be helpful, even if I'm not sure if anything in particular contributes to those factors.

That sounds easy enough. I think I could write up something for a Houndour egg easily enough. It'll give me something to do.

What, getting bored with this place already?

But really, I thank you for your cooperation. I'll have the egg sent to you as soon as possible.

There's only so much you can do while out on the road, as it turns out, even with everything being a new experience.

I'll be waiting. Name's Red, by the way. So what's this about 'name my own price'?

It's true, isn't it? Yet another reason to avoid traveling on foot as much as possible.

...of course, my list is probably longer than most people's, but details.

A pleasure, Red; I am Kayneth Archibald El-Melloi. Anyway, I'll lower the price to at most 75 percent of the original cost in exchange for the reports. I presume you'll go for the 75 percent, but some people do have that sense of obligation.

Unfortunately, I like going for a good deal. 75 percent sounds good to me.

Well, that's still fine by me. The information is slightly more valuable... but I've got to eat, you know.

Sitting on a nice lawn selling Pokemon must work up an appetite.

...well, it's embarrassing to admit, but I may have gone slightly over budget on that lawn.

[That significant pause isn't because she's trying not to laugh, Kayneth. Really.]

At least it looks nice, right?

[okay you know what ATTEMPTED SAVE]

Given that I had to get it back from looking like a war zone, I think I deserve to overspend a bit, don't you think?

Oh, definitely. Was it because of that storm a little while back?

Partially, yes.

It was recovering from something incredibly bizarre that happened back in April, as well...

Something more bizarre than flying sharks?

Someone returned an object they'd stolen from me ages ago and then dug holes all over my yard.

Sounds like someone has a grudge against you.

You could say that, yes.

I believe she did it because I wouldn't let my Pokemon associate with her after she stole something from me, and the fact that that's my best hypothesis should really tell you a lot about the individual I was dealing with.

Yikes. Sounds like an adventure.

It... certainly was, yes. Fortunately, that individual hasn't been a problem since then, but things are never exactly normal here.

Small blessings, right? At least it gives you a story to tell.

There is that, I suppose, but given that I have a new story practically every month that doesn't result in holes in my lawn, I can't say I appreciate it even in that context.

Good point.

Here's to hoping your new lawn doesn't get any new holes in it

Yes, here's hoping. Maybe I'll make it a month without something happening to my yard...
