Riverrock Acres Stall

[Kurt Emerson]

"Hey, what's up? The name's Kurt. Welcome to my shop!"

Riverrock Acres boasts goods and services from a ranch that primarily serves Ground, Water, and Normal type Pokemon. He has Pokemon available for stud and breeding services if one is so inclined. He does his best to keep his prices fair, both for goods and for breeding services.

• Egg (and other general goods) prices are listed as such. In general, the rarer the species, the more expensive the egg, yet the price may fluctuate depending on the predicted egg moves and stats of the to-be-hatched Pokemon.
• Stud prices are as follows: $500 for a Common stud, $750 for an Uncommon stud, and $1500 for a Rare stud. The eggs remain with the mother Pokemon. The stud prices can be lowered if Kurt is promised an egg or two from the clutch.
  • If the contracting trainer does not have the room or another home in mind for extra eggs, then Kurt may buy back extra eggs for $200 each if he believes he can find them a good home.
• Female prices are as follows: $300 to breed a Common female, $550 for Uncommon, and $750 for Rare, and the contractor will get one free egg from the clutch. Other eggs the client wishes to have will be full priced. Any leftover eggs will remain with Kurt.
  
• If a client wishes to petition an egg from two of Kurt's Pokemon, then the breeding cost is $1000. The client will get one free egg from the clutch, but will pay full price for any additional eggs.

Professor Cypress enjoyed escaping from Greenberry Town to Gaia Island once in a while, and with a couple of ranches and shops set up, she now had a ready excuse to do so. She figured she would see what eggs were available to start gearing up for more beginning gym challengers and coordinators.

Riverrock Acres was the first stop she made, entering the shop and being delighted at the eggs that were on display. She gazed at them, waiting for Kurt to appear, and tried to make a decision on which eggs she would take back to the lab to raise for a potential trainer.

Kurt heard the door to the shop open and it didn't take him long at all to get back to the front of the shop to see who his visitor was (or if it was a Pokemon again -- a stray Wingull had somehow opened his shop door the other day and it took Kurt, Coconut, and Mocha to help the panicking bird fly back out to the boardwalk).

"Hey, Professor," Kurt greeted with a grin. "What brings you to the island today? Everything okay back at the lab?"

Kurt should probably visit the mainland at some point. He hadn't really explored much of Ascua at all before setting up Riverrock Acres. At the very least, he should get some basic supplies when he had a little surplus of money.

Professor Cypress returned Kurt's smile with one of her own.

"Hello, Mr. Emerson," the professor greeted. "Everything is well at the lab, thank you. I just thought I would check out some potential Pokemon for beginning trainers. I'm happy to see some eggs already waiting here at the shops."

She gazed a little longer at the eggs Kurt had for sale before pointing at the second Phanpy egg and the last Sentret egg. "May I buy one of each?" she asked. "I'm sure they'll be strong Pokemon for a couple of lucky trainers."

"You can just call me Kurt, you know," he said with a small chuckle. "Mr. Emerson sounds so formal." And like his father, truth be told. Kurt didn't quite want to feel that old just yet. "Glad to hear everything's going good at the lab."

He was delighted when Professor Cypress picked out a couple of eggs. "One Phanpy and one Sentret egg, coming up," he said, preparing both of the eggs that Professor Cypress pointed out ready to go. "The grand total is $1100 for the pair. I hope they do well with a couple of good beginner trainers."

[Mod Kris]

Professor Cypress laughed. "Very well, Kurt," she said, as if testing the name. "Thank you very much for your hard work, and your Pokemon as well, of course. I have a pack that the eggs can be nestled in comfortably."

She helped Kurt pack up the eggs and giving him his due payment. After shouldering the pack gently, Professor Cypress moved a bit slowly, getting used to the slight extra weight. With a smile, she said, "Thank you again, Kurt. I'll be seeing you. Take care!" before making her exit.

She wanted to visit a couple of other shops, after all.

Money sent to Kurt Emerson.

Tags: Mod Kris -- thank you! Got the money!

"Sounds great, Professor," Kurt said, being sure Professor Cypress was all set with the eggs in her pack. Once she seemed good and was taking her leave, Kurt grinned and gave her a wave.

"Pleasure doing business with you," he said. "Talk to you soon!"

She could have gotten a starter from the Greenberry Town Labs -- after all, those Pokemon were bred from Gaia Island as well -- but Elaine wanted to see what other options she had. Rumor had it a couple of strong and seasoned trainers had semi-retired to raise ranches of Pokemon and Elaine was eager to see just how strong.

Truth be told, Gaia Island was still fairly new in its development and there were only a couple of ranches that had open shops. Elaine wandered into the shop that boasted it catered to Water-types, finding the type to be fairly resilient and flexible (according to her studies, anyway). Gazing around the shop, Elaine stared at the list of available Pokemon for breeding, finding a few that could mate together. She didn't have her own Pokemon yet to help with the coupling, so hopefully the Pokemon on the rancher's team got along well enough to be okay making a few eggs together.

Making up her mind, Elaine waited semi-patiently for the shop owner to appear.

[Kurt Emerson]

It didn't take too long for Kurt to appear back in the front of the shop. He had been contemplating on sending a couple of the remaining eggs he had on display to the adoption center, figuring that they may have more of a chance there than at his place. He wouldn't really be losing money, either, if he decided to send a couple of the eggs there.

He did blink when he realized there was someone standing in his shop and he switched from looking surprised to giving a pleasant smile. "Hi there," he greeted. "I'm Kurt Emerson. What can I do for you?"

She wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not that the supposed rancher seemed surprised that someone was in his shop. Surely he had enough customers to not seem surprised? Or perhaps Gaia Island really was still so new...

Regardless, Elaine cleared her throat and tried to give a polite smile. "Elaine Harrison," she said, introducing herself. "I was hoping to petition a clutch from a couple of your Pokemon so I can raise an egg into my first starter."

Glancing at the list of Pokemon available, she added, "I was hoping for a Totodile. I'm not sure which other of your Pokemon it would be more willing to pair with, your Pelipper or Psyduck."

[Kurt Emerson]

"Pleasure to meet you," Kurt said amicably when the trainer introduced herself. He was pleased that she was looking to his shop for a starter Pokemon, and hoped that whatever Pokemon she received would work out well for her and her goals.

She got right down to business, mentioning Seasalt in particular. Kurt himself figured that Seasalt and Sushi would be more apt to making a clutch together. Brie was still new and rather young at the moment. He would have to do some training with her soon.

"A clutch from a pairing of my Pokemon is $1000," Kurt said, "and you'll get free pick of any egg from the clutch. If you happen to want any other eggs, they'll be full price. Deal?"

Mod Kris

Kurt Emerson, money sent to your account.

The price wasn't so bad, considering the potential rare Pokemon she was going to get out of the deal. Elaine nodded and handed over the money that was requested, as well as filling out any necessary paperwork or receipts that were needed.

"Thank you," she remembered to say, and resigned to wait patiently until the clutch and eggs were conceived.

[Kurt Emerson]

"Perfect," Kurt said. With a smile, he added, "I'll let you know when the eggs are all set for you to pick."

He exchanged contact information with Elaine and thanked her again for her business. Considering both Seasalt and Sushi were a bit new to his team, he hoped they would get along just fine to have a clutch.

Notes: Got it! Thanks!

It was always nice to take a small trip to Gaia Island and see how the ranches of the place were thriving. Professor Cypress was taking some time to visit the marketplace and perhaps get a couple of more Pokemon eggs to prepare for starting trainers for Ascua's Pokemon League and Grand Festival.

She entered Riverrock Acres' shop with a smile and a greeting on her lips. She was delighted at seeing the eggs on display and figured she would snatch at least the Totodile egg for an upcoming trainer. All she needed now was to find the man of the place.

[Kurt Emerson]

"Professor Cypress," Kurt greeted as he saw the woman enter his shop. "What's up?"

Kurt, of course, could guess as to why the professor was here at the shop. He noticed her eyeing some of the eggs he had on display and was certain the professor would find something she was looking for.
