breeder's con; (OPEN)

WHO: BREEDERS and other interested parties
WHERE: Goldenrod City, near the Breeding Centre
WHEN: February 15~16
SUMMARY: Breeder's Con!! Come sell eggs, goods, breed with strange pokemon you never met before, talk about shinies or egg moves, and all that jazz! Just don't mind that the decorations look like they belong at a Valentine's Day party
RATING: PG (will edit if it amps up more)
LOG:

[ When it came to parties with little purpose such as holidays, Saber found herself often struggling with creativity. Organizing a makeshift "bazaar" however was a thing a king can do and so she did. Not that she was experienced in the matters of the market, but from the stance she took as royalty during her reign, prosperity flourished within Britain so that was reason enough to feel justified in what she was doing. While the Breeding Centre wasn't nearly large enough to host a grand event, there was still enough space with the careful arrangement of tables and chairs to accommodate a larger population than the building was used to. Most of the loose Pokemon were placed away (even the murderous Scyther) and the place was decorated in various shades of red and pink.

Nero was going to love that, wasn't she? Saber thought about adding a touch of blue, but it didn't really seem to fit the theme.

For those who may be a bit more antisocial or have things they wish to trade or sale that were too large to keep indoors, there were a few tables set up in the yard under makeshift coverings from tarp. Not the most attractive job, but Saber isn't going to force people who might be wary of large crowds. Indoors, there's plenty of warm refreshments and a hot chocolate bar. All of the unoccupied rooms of the Breeding Centre have little signs hanging from the door knob just in case anyone wants to give their mons a bit of privacy too. How considerate! ]

Catch all log for the Breeder's Con. Feel free to make your own threads, mingle or otherwise. Just state in the subject if they're open or closed for the convenience of others. Feel free to gossip about the rampage or even the garden party that took place the day before. Thanks♥

It would deter individual Rockets from attacking again, certainly. But the leaders of powerful, ill-intentioned groups rarely care about the mishaps of their subordinates. Cutting the head of the beast off is also important.

Of course, but if people can't even stop the lowest of their agents...

We had some success against them when the train was attacked, but that was over a year ago.

That must have been before I arrived.

It was the November before last. It made for a memorable maiden voyage.

Ah, I can hardly imagine.

...Not that it was memorable in a good way, considering the Pokémon that were stolen.

Oh? Were there many?

I do not recall the exact number, but I believe it was around a dozen or so.

I see. That's unfortunate.

That it is. I do hope they were recovered by their trainers, somehow.

*nods*

I should hope so. Though I can't imagine the pokemon themselves would be very pleased with such a thing, either.

Indeed. It sometimes makes me wonder why thieves even bother; surely Pokémon that are strong enough to be worth stealing are also strong enough to do great damage while fighting back.

That's certainly a good point. Admittedly, if they're in their balls they can't resist much, but once released...

And they'd have to be released at some point, to be of any use. I doubt they steal rare species merely to collect them.

And yet they continue to do it, for some reason.

Which means they must have ways of controlling whatever they obtain, somehow.

I can't say I care for the idea of what such a thing might be.

*...especially given how viciously powerful some of them can be; he recalls seeing a hydreigon gone berserk on the network before...*

Yes, I'd rather not imagine how it'd feel for the Pokémon controlled in that manner.

[Because mind control is not fun.]

*no kidding. even some of the alternative methods are bad enough...*

Indeed.

Then again, if we knew how it works and what it does exactly, we could try to counter it.

Perhaps. Though most effective would be discouraging them from attempting such things in the first place...

...With pokéballs that somehow harm anyone but their lawful owners, perhaps?

Oh, now that is an idea...

The main problem would be making it work. The few people I'd trust with such a task are sadly not here.

They're at how many comments and haven't even talked about eggs yet.... XD

Well, it's not like the Deino will hatch from 2x Flame Body while they're talking! ...Actually...

Or so we'd HOPE....

Everything else would hatch first, so they'd have some warning.

True!

...And a swarm of Caterpies at their feet.

Oh those silly fast-hatching bug types....

Crawling over innocent talking trainers...

Climbing up their legs...

Leaving gooey strings everywhere...

Getting their hair all mucked up.....!

Noooo, not the hair!

That gorgeous, flowing silver hair, all sticky with String Shot.....

No, it'll take days to wash it out!

Not to mention GALLONS of shampoo

Between his team and the shampoo, he'd be in the streets within a week.

Good thing it's not what's actually happening, right?

Right. Good little Caterpie eggs.

Staying nice and unhatched until they're supposed to. :|b

They're giving the others a very good example to follow.
