ALL RIGHT. NOW THAT WE HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED IN THIS LITTLE BACKWATER TOWN
THERE'S SOME BUSINESS TO DISCUSS.
IN OTHER WORDS, I HAVE SOME EGGS THAT ARE FOR SALE.
IN THE PAST, THIS HAS BEEN FOR FREE.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF *REASONS* THIS TIME I CAN'T REALLY AFFORD TO DO THAT.
WE HAVE SHINX, AXEW, BAGON, PURRLOIN, TWO DIFFERENT SETS OF SWABLU EGGS, LAPRAS, FEEBAS, BLITZLE, GASTLY, RALTZ, GROWLITHE, POOCHYENA, AND DRATINI.
MAKE AN INQUIRY ABOUT ONE AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I CAN AND THE PRICE THAT I WILL BE CHARGING.
SOME OF THESE SHITTY BEASTS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE COSTLY.
WHAT CAN I SAY? YOU CAN'T GET NEW BATTLEMATES WITH A FUCK TON OF MOVES AND NOT EXPECT TO PAY A *LITTLE* BIT FOR IT, RIGHT.
RIGHT
ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT WE GOT.
UNFORTUNATELY, IF YOU'RE IN JOHTO, I CAN ONLY SEND THEM TO YOUR PC.
IF YOU'RE IN KANTO, I CAN MAKE AN EXCEPTION IF NO ONE IS ADVERSE TO HAVING A GIANT BAT DELIVER.
YEAH, I THINK THAT'S ALL I GOT.

(( ooc: there are still some left ))

You're buying a house?

Congratulations. It's quite the step, but I've always found it to be a rewarding one.

[usedshooshpap]

A HOUSE OR SOMETHING.
I KNOW HE WAS TRYING TO FIX UP THE BURNT TOWER FOR A WHILE.
MAYBE WITH ENOUGH REPAIRS...

[usedlaserbeam]

Quite the project, in either case.

What do you have as yet unaccounted for, as far as your eggs are concerned?

[usedshooshpap]

GOT A PURRLOIN, SWABLU, SHINX, GROWLITHE, RALTS, GASTLY, AND BLITZLE.

[usedlaserbeam]

That's a fair selection. The Shinx will eventually evolve into a Luxray, won't it?

[usedshooshpap]

YEAH, IT WILL.
THEY GET DECENTLY BIG TOO.
HELL, I CAN RIDE DEL AROUND LIKE A HOOFBEAST.

[usedlaserbeam]

I see. I wonder, then, if this is another prophecy about to come true.

How much is the egg?

[usedshooshpap]

THREE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED.
THIS BATCH OF OFFSPRING ARE GOING TO COME PRETTY MUCH WITH EVERY MOVE ALREADY LEARNED *AND* WITH EGG MOVES AND TM CARRY OVERS.
THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO BE *BEASTS*

[usedlaserbeam]

All right, then. I'll pay you seven thousand for it.

[usedshooshpap]

WHY!?

[usedlaserbeam]

For one thing, because you were willing to sacrifice your hard-earned pride to tell me what the money was going toward, so this is an endeavor that's clearly important to you. I certainly wouldn't sacrifice my pride for anything other than a highly compelling cause.

And as it happens, I somewhat enjoy supporting compelling causes.

[usedshooshpap]

I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO PUNCH YOU OR KISS YOU.

[usedlaserbeam]

In fairness, I can't honestly say which of the two I'd prefer, either.

[usedshooshpap]

SO LET'S JUST SKIP THAT AWKWARD LINE AND LET ME MAKE MY WAY TO THE CENTER.

[usedlaserbeam]

I'd appreciate it, thank you.

I hope the house works out well for you. Make sure to keep us posted as developments unfold, won't you?

[usedshooshpap]

I WILL.
THE THING IS, I KNOW THAT TIME IS SOME MONTHS AWAY, BUT I FIGURED IF WE START SAVING UP NOW, THEN BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE
IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT?

[usedlaserbeam]

You said you're doing the elite challenge of the gyms, didn't you?

I'd suggest simply making a plan to save a portion of your winnings from every gym from here on out, supplemented with whatever you earn from these sales. If you're prudent about it, you shouldn't have any problem.

[usedshooshpap]

WELL THAT WAS SORT OF MY PLAN.

[usedlaserbeam]

Says the one selling eggs to raise money.

[papshooshing]

AND WHY NOT?
OTHERS HAVE DONE IT TO GET THEM STARTED.
ONCE THERE'S ENOUGH, THEN THERE WILL REALLY BE NO NEED TO CHARGE.
