[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.

I see you've finished your lawn renovations! The flowers are a lovely touch.

[Dist seems pleased for Kayneth. Seriously the birthday fiasco was very unfortunate. He's glad his friend is able to actually enjoy the yard now.]

I scanned your egg list, and I couldn't help but notice you have a supply of Litwick eggs. I've been interested in them ever since our previous conversation. I'll gladly give you another report if you'd like to sell me one.

[...science!!! indeed.]

I certainly did! The... hurricane didn't help matters, but after enough disasters seem to happen you've got to consider how to come back stronger.

And yes, I presumed you would be! I was considering saving you one, but I had a suspicion you'd happen upon this before they were totally snatched up.

That is a fine way to look at it. Any further disasters will have to mind themselves when they approach your property, won't they?

[The weather better not mess with Kayneth!]

Well, I do prefer to act quickly. Is there anything else I should know about this species aside from what you have already told me?

I'm really tempted to leave some sort of guard behind if I ever have to leave, because this is just getting tedious...

And nothing in particular, really. The father is a Dusclops, so if you have any familiarity with that Pokemon's moves, that's likely what you'll be expecting, but for all I know there could be some surprises in there.

That wouldn't be a bad idea at all. It is exactly what I do when I'm away from my, ah, office. One can never be too careful!

[Kayneth knows exactly what he's talking about, so no need to get specific!]

I don't, actually. I'm aware that it is a Ghost type, but not much else. Should I expect the standard fare in terms of Ghost type moves?

I'm not entirely sure which one to leave, though. Just one might be a little risky in case something powerful shows up, but I don't want to leave behind any Pokemon I'm terribly fond of or that are in training...

[choices are hard.]

Hm... probably, yes. I'm not entirely sure what will come of it, since the Duskull line seems to be a little more physically focused, but it should be interesting to see.
