Breeding Center Open Log

[dressofheaven]

Who: Everyone living at or visiting the Breeding Centre in Goldenrod.
Where: The Breeding Centre in Goldenrod.
When: July 10th through the 18th.
Summary: Several people planning to participate in the bug catching conventions have been invited to stay at the Breeding Centre. Between them and the current staff, what sort of shenanigans will they get up to?

(Note: All visitors/residents are encouraged to make their own threads. More than one of them, if you want!)
Rating: PG... Maybe up to PG-13 (watching you, Lancer).
Log:

The Breeding Centre was not a small building. In the past, it had housed several residents quite comfortably, but time and disappearances had whittled those numbers down to the point where there were now several vacant rooms.

This made it the perfect place to gather if you had business around Goldenrod.

Besides, with the amount of Pokemon that had been left behind and taken into the Foster Care, it seemed only natural to open up the doors to those who might be interested in seeing them.

And so the doors had been thrown open for several visitors for the duration of their stay. Now the only question was, would this turn out to be just what the Centre needed... Or a complete disaster?

Claims for Fostered Pokemon Breeding

[dressofheaven]

All Pokemon in the foster home that are unclaimed and allowed for breeding are available!

July 10th

[dressofheaven]

Ilya had been fit to burst all day long.

This was the day that the groups were supposed to start arriving at the Centre, and she was very much looking forward to the new company, and a few arrivals in particular. She'd been pacing back and forth, trying to distract herself with food, playing with the Pokemon, and when all else failed, bugging Saber.

She'd been booted outside after a bit too much of that last.

So at this point she was seated on top of her loyal Rhydon, still waiting for someone to show up. But anticipation and boredom were cruel, and by this point she was beginning to wonder if anyone was coming at all.

"So slow..." She muttered.

It should probably be mentioned that it was barely past noon.

[memoryborn]

Illya!

[ Not long before that call is made, does a 7' Garchomp fall from the sky and land almost directly in front of Illya with a loud thud, accompanied by the sound of the ground groaning and cracking under the force. Bahamut the Garchomp lets out a happy roar of triumph over his successful landing. Xion, on the other hand, is still clinging tightly onto his neck and making sure she doesn't slide from his dorsal fin as he stands a bit straighter and regards Illya quizzically.

After getting her bearings, Xion finally slips off of Bahamut and greets the other girl with a shy smile and wave. ]

It's good to see you.

[dressofheaven]

[The sound of her name nearly makes her jump, and she raises her head just in time to see Bahamut dart in like a meteor. Even Berserker starts beneath her, jerking his head up to glare at the newcomer and assuming a defensive posture.

At least, until his Mistress recognizes the voice.]

Xion! [Waving back significantly less shyly, Ilya beams down at her, already starting to scramble down Berserker to come closer.] I was hoping you'd be one of the first!

[Calmed almost instantly by his trainer's glee, Berserker lowers an arm, letting Ilya down to run over to Xion's side.] Did you get here on your Garchomp? I didn't know they could fly from city to city.

[memoryborn]

Garchomps can't fly for an extended period of time, though. Once they start to run and gain enough speed, they take off and can glide. It's something I discovered before when I was here previously, and I guess Bahamut wanted to try it out again. It's been a while for him.

[ Bahamut roars in confirmation, clapping his talons together in his excitement. Xion gives Illya a quick one up while adjusting the shoulder strap of her bag. ]

Sorry if we scared you. We still need to figure out a way to properly take off and land.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Guilt sets in all too quick (as it usually does) and Saber exits the Breeding Centre not even half a hour after exiling the young lady outdoors. Even when she attempts to justify it in her mind (shouldn't she be spending time with people instead of loitering?), there's no excuse that can qualm the wave of disappointing anguish at treating Irisviel's blood like so. ]

It is not all that late, you know. [ Holding out her hand with a little under half of a pull-apart popsicle, she offers it to her while the other melts partially around her mouth. ] They will come.

... Right? [ Who would turn down free housing? ]

OMG dat icon where did you get that?

[dressofheaven]

[She doesn't seem all that put out when Saber comes out to her, probably because she knows full well she was being a pest. She shrugs at the semi-question.]

Well if they don't, I'm going to be very confused. I mean, with what you offered them, it seems ridiculous. Who'd stay at the inn or the Pokemon Center when they could be here?

[She accepts the popsicle and pops it into her mouth, licking idly as she tries to watch the sky and the street at the same time.]

How do you think they'll arrive?

official art from carnival phantasm, I'd get you a link but blocked on work network, check yande.re

[ex_cashcow493]

By foot? [ She's never thought about that. Traveling for her is riding on the back of her dragon Pokemon and train. ]

That would be the best assumption, but ah, they likely ride around on their Pokemon. The weather has been too warm for them to exert themselves and with Rapidash engulfed in flame themselves...

open throughout

[memoryborn]

[ Whew! It had certainly been a long time since she stepped foot in this popular city. Even before she was whisked back home, her journey to better herself and try to complete her badge collecting left her with little reason to come back. Now, she's got several major reasons to be here.

Though, she has to stock up on supplies for a bit, so to the Department Store she goes! After a little fiasco with Bahamut wanting to go to the roof, Xion will be at the Breeding Center and getting herself reacquainted with the building and its staff. Since she didn't sign up for the Bug Contests, she could mostly be found helping around here, taking care of the Pokemon or helping with the business.

If not, she was mostly around or outside the city, training her Pokemon despite being at the max level besides a select few. It had been a long time for them, and she wanted to get in better connection with her old team. So out in the streets, the nearby routes, or by the docks riding the crown of a large Gyarados in the water is where she could be spotted. ]

July 13th

[dressofheaven]

Xion!

[With a smile on her face and a waving hand, Ilya runs up to her right outside the center.]

Hey, did you get all your chores done today yet? I just finished mine.

[Well, that's a reason to be pleased, but she seems entirely too excited about just that.]

[memoryborn]

Hm?

[ Xion had just returned from healing her Pokemon after a small training session. Axel the Typhlosion and Bahamut the Garchomp flank her sides as usual and rumble and roar in greeting, respectively. ]

I did, yeah. I wanted to get some training done after, so... Did you need something?

[dressofheaven]

If it's training, it's better if you can find a partner... but we can do that later! Come shopping with me for now!

[And her objective becomes apparent...]

Open whenever! (will match style)

[easy_as_cake]

Trance hadn't been working at the Breeding Centre that long. She hadn't even managed to run into all of her coworkers, yet, between trying to get all her own team settled in (and hatched... maybe working with so many available eggs wasn't the best idea?) and the occasional impromptu trip to help a new friend in need.

But now, this was just about perfect! Between the people coming in to breed their pokemon and the people arriving for the fancy bug catching event, business would surely be... well... busy! Not to mention anyone staying the night.

She'd be sure to greet anyone she saw (or anyone the Deerling prancing about managed to run into) but otherwise, she could be found bustling about the Centre, cleaning and doing everything to get ready for guests on top of her regular duties.

[ While Saber's normally the type to remain indoors and tend to business, there's no need for that this month. With so many volunteers at the Breeding Centre as of late, the buildings themselves are full and therefore she retreats to what she hopes will draw them out.

That's right, they have a pool here and with a table lined with appropriate snacks nearby, she's set to enjoy herself. At least she seems capable of doing that as she apprehensively approaches the pool with what appears to be a smile on her face. Once in the pool, she only sticks to the safe, less deeper end of it with her swimming. She's not entirely good at it, but she's learned a bit thanks to Shirou's mentoring. ]

[riastrad_ridire]

[Captain Tasteless Shirt, on the other hand, wasn't swimming today. What he was doing was turning his back on the pool very quickly when he caught sight of what Saber was wearing.]

[Gods forbid he look remotely startled or flustered in front of his dokidoki bff.]

[ex_cashcow493]

[ It's like checking out jailbait.

Okay fine, so she's matured a little thanks to those scales that covered her chest months ago, but at least she looks as though she's completely healed from them. ]

Lancer? [ Wait, she needs to call him by his other name, doesn't she? ] You are wearing that shirt again.

[dressofheaven]

[Clad in a purple bikini, Ilya waves at Saber as she travels by on the back of her loyal Feraligatr.]

Alright, Poseidon, let's see how fast we can go from one end of the pool to the other and back!

[The overgrown gator roars in agreement and flexes his arms, bunching up his limbs as he prepares to shove off one side of the pool. Ilya grins in anticipation...

And then Poseidon lunges forward, causing a massive wake behind him as he rushes over to the other side of the pool. Yes, even in water Ilya has found a way to be a hazard.]

Wheeeeeeee!

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Saber is about to die, needs food badly.

Still, she only manages to survive the wave after it knocks her body halfway over the side of the pool and her arms cling to the smooth stone with no life behind them. ]

Pokemon... in the pool? [ It makes sense, why didn't she think of it before? ]

at some point idk what day okay

[dreamsofahero]

*So when Sion and Ryner finally got frustrated enough with dead ends on their research in Azalea, they agreed that an impromptu trip to Goldenrod for a day or two was in order. To go cross reference a few things in their research, of course!

....the fact that Sion somehow managed to find the time to stop by the breeding center while ostensibly doing said research cross referencing is beside the point*

Ah, so here you are....

*.....it's like he doesn't even notice the bikini*

AW YEAH...

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Saber, however, remembers very quickly that she's in a bikini and that someone who's seen her in a dress (a formal one much different than the gown she wears on the field of battle) is standing nearby. Diving underneath the water, only her hair floats up a bit as her ahoge sticks out as though it were a fin.

Maybe if she stays under here long enough, Sion will grow disinterested and walk away. Yes, flawless plan.

Except she's missing one very vital thing. Quickly coming back up for air, she gasps and raises a hand to weakly wave at him in greeting. ]

Yes, here I am... Surprise?

[ealaigh]

[There's a bit of a bemused stare directed at her as a... still fully clothed Diarmuid just chilling by the edge, a glass of water in his hand as he viewed the proceedings.

It's not like he liked to participate in parties, but with this weather, he's not entirely sure that moving around would help the heat, if at all.]

You seem to be enjoying yourself quite well, Saber.

[ex_cashcow493]

Is that a crime now?

[ She jests, but surely it must be for heroic spirits such as themselves. Enemies in one life, here they are expected to get along just fine. ]

There is nothing dishonorable with what I do here in this pool. [ Save for wear a two-piece blushu... ]

July 12 or so

[lightningbearer]

*apparently, at some point, it became known to Wyatt that Joker's egg had originally come from the breeding center. Which they were now conveniently in the same town! Wyatt was quite curious about this (as was Sierra for completely unrelated reasons that are beside the point) and wanted to go see, though how on earth this information was conveyed to their taciturn trainer is anyone's guess.

But in any case the end result is Geddoe approaching the center with a kadabra, a shiny samurott, and the ever-present manectric in tow...*

[ex_cashcow493]

[ An interesting travel group, but Saber's not one to turn down people no matter what the situation. Here she greets him with a wave, adding in additional ones for the Pokemon that follow. ]

Welcome, have you come to meet with anyone in particular?

[lightningbearer]

*shakes his head*

Apparently Wyatt wanted to see this place.

*the samurott maks an affirmative sound, removing any doubt as to just who Geddoe was talking about*
