Rinoa Heartilly

[Video]

[The video feeds clicks on to a fairly familiar sight, only instead of eight badges there are only two. Not that it seems to bother the breeder who is cheerfully showing them off. No, Rinoa's face is practically glowing with good cheer. She has badges! Not one but two of them even!]

After how easy the first badge was, I just had to try for the second one too, and it worked! I would have said something after the first badge, but I was hoping if I waited I'd be able to show both of them at the same time.

[She pans the feed over then, showing off four very proud looking pokemon - a Luxray, a Flaaffy, a Growlithe, and her ever present Altaria.]

Knight did so good he even evolved again. I really wasn't expecting that.

[Her Luxray looks pretty damned smug about it, while her growlithe just looks annoyed..... or as annoyed as a pokemon can get while linefacing anyway. Stupid obnoxious pricks getting all the praise. He did good work too! Thankfully Rinoa's really good at reading lineface-ese.]

Don't worry, Griever, we'll go get you a fire stone, I promise.

[Her pokemon mollified, Rinoa moves on to the next important point of business. Eggs.]

Speaking of good news, thanks to Shinn, I've got Swablu eggs. Not to mention some Shinx and Mareep eggs too. I'm not sure what a good price for them is. I'm thinking maybe 1,000 for a Swablu, 800 for a Shinx, and 500 for a Mareep? Of course if you can't afford one and you'd really like one, I'm sure we can work something out.

I know Swablu aren't really common, so I thought I'd explain them a little. Swablu is a blue bird pokemon with clouds for wings. They're a flying and normal type to start, but when they evolve they become a Flying/Dragon type instead. Right, Angel?

[Her starter trills an affirmative, which causes the breeder to smile at her fondly. She really does love her starter to bits... anyway!]

I can't deliver them myself, so I'll have to send them through the PC. Unless someone has the TM for Fly they'd let me borrow so I can teach it to Angel? That'd be a super, big help. I'd trade an egg for one?

[Private to Shin]

Did you get your ditto back okay? I know I promised you a Swablu egg, do you think I should give the center one too?


[ooc: Sign up for the eggs can be found here. There are still a few left, mostly mareep. She'll also be taking requests for swablu eggs in the future if you missed out on one this time.]

I'm sure it's been asked before, but what do you think makes a good breeder? What should they do and stuff like that?

Because I'm not sure if breeding is right for me, but I thought I should at least learn more about it before I gave up on it completely.

[Her team is flopped out on the floor behind her, her ledyba looks almost exhausted and while it's not a known fact right now there's a good chance that her poor swablu might just lose her voice temporarily. They've been training hard, but this invasion is beyond anything they could have been prepared for. It's just incentive to train more as far as they're all concerned and Rinoa's definitely going to be looking at expanding her roster soon.]

Oh! And do poison types have any big weaknesses? If something like this happens again I want to be ready for it.

The very first thing Rinoa noticed as the air. It was clean, fresh, and pure, but more importantly it was there. She could breathe! Once she acknowledged that everything else seemed to hit her senses at once. There was sunlight, a breeze ruffling her hair, and most importantly solid ground under her feet! That last one was especially important and after a moment Rinoa gave in to the desire to do what all mature seventeen year old's do. She plopped down onto the ground, stretched out, and then promptly rolled around in the grass.
