Thankfully the second request had gone off without a hitch, and the borrowed ‘mons had been returned to their respective owners without further incident. Kouji had just sent off the last borrowed ‘mon when he noticed that a new message had slid into the Ranch’s email inbox, and he quickly made his way over to read the message. Upon reading it, he then chuckled softly; because the request was coming from someone he was already familiar with—the Gym Leader of the place he now called “home”.

“Well, that’s no matter,” he remarked, quickly looking over at the Transporter and watching as a containment unit clattered into the receiving end with a loud noise. “I guess there’s the Tropius I’ll be using,” he added, shuffling over and plucking out the Pokéball from the machine. Once he’d managed to make his way outside, he then began to scour the ground for his newly-acquired Seedot; and eventually found it lounging underneath one of the fruit trees in the orchard; upon which he then sent out the Tropius.

“Hello,” he began in the little acorn’s direction, watching as the Tropius materialized in a flash of light. “Gareth’s looking for one of your kind and he needs you to… well, you get the drift,” he ended sheepishly; before turning and leaving the two for some “private time”.

Watch that grass grow~

It was looking to be another slow week for Kouji, when he heard the sound that signaled a new message had arrived in the Ranch’s email Inbox. Glad for something to do, he then spun the chair around and plunked himself down into it, before accessing the Ranch’s business inbox and opening the message that sat at the top of the pile. Granted, he had a lot of old email messages to get rid of, he just hand’t found the time to do so. Once he’d read through the request, he then reached for a Post-It and quickly scribbled it down, before walking outside.

The wind was a bit on the cold side; bracing, but manageable—and he began to search for his Rufflet, as well as his Swablu. The Swablu was easier to find—he’d barely taken twenty steps into the expanse that comprised his Ranch when he saw something gliding along the air currents, before making an immediate beeline for his head. “Ah, hello there, Parvi,” he began with a grin; before continuing to walk around; the better to search for the Rufflet he was looking for. He’d eventually found the little Valiant ‘mon, lounging not too far from one of the Berry trees, trying to reach the load of Oran growing high up in its branches.

“Whoa, whoa, Orn, calm down,” he remarked, quickly reaching up and plucking a few Oran berries from the nearest branch and gently scattering it along the ground—the Swablu flew off his head and immediately joined the Rufflet as the two began eating the Berries he’d left for them. “Well, try not to bring the tree down, okay?” he added with a smile, before leaving the two alone…

Someone wanted the 'Murika burd!

It had been a while since the phone rang or an email had arrived in the Sanctuary’s public address, so imagine Kouji’s surprise when he saw a familiar mug show up on his Ranch grounds! After seeing the piece of paper that had been left for him, he then quickly got to work—seeing that half of the requested ‘mons had already been left with the note in question! Grinning, as he knew that the job was already half-done, he then walked over to his Transporter and began punching in codes.

Several moments later, two containment units shimmered and clattered into existence, which he then proceeded to extract from the container, and then walking out to the back with the armload of containers; making mental notes in order to not get the two mixed up. He could only take a guess as to why the buxom female redheaded friend of his two main contacts’ wanted all the resulting eggs for herself, but it wasn’t his business to meddle, he was just the middle-man in all of this anyway.

Once he’d found a nice spot, he then sent out the first pair, watching as a Marowak hit the ground, along with what he guessed was a Pupitar—the two struck him as an odd couple, so to speak. “Please try not to kill each other, okay? Just holler if you need me,” he remarked, before bowing in their direction and leaving them both alone. He then looked for another sheltered cove and then sent out the other pair, watching with some wonder as a rather feisty Hitmonchan then made its appearance (and attempted to slug him into the ground) alongside a Croagunk.

“Alright, you two, don’t kill each other, because I’m pretty sure you both can. Try to get along, please? Thanks, lovelies,” he added, bowing once more in their direction this time, before leaving them alone…

Kouji was a bit surprised to see that there was a new message in the Ranch’s email system, so with some bemusement, he clicked it open and saw that he had a request fielded from the Veria League—apparently it was to help out one of the newer Gym Leaders who’d settled down into one of the newly-discovered places in the region.

“No wonder, they wanted a Dratini…” he muttered, scribbling down the details on a piece of scratch paper, “…it’s for the Dragon-type Gym Leader,” he added with a chuckle, before quickly hobbling over to the Transporter and punching in a code, because he didn’t have an appropriate female Water-type on-hand at the moment.

A few moments later, a containment unit clattered into existence, and he quickly scooped it up, before heading outside into the spring sunshine. After searching through the entire area, he’d finally managed to find his Dratini lounging near the man-made fresh water lake, and he then sent out its partner for today.

Watching as a purplish-tinted Milotic with a cherry-blossom pink fan-tail made its appearance, he then whistled, before hoping that thigns would go okay. “Alright, no fights, you two… make it a good one… one, possible two Gym Leaders are going to benefit from this if ever,” he added, leaving the Milotic and the Dratini alone to do their thing.
