(Tags: Open to anyone, Mod Kris if anything warrants experience points) Happiness: Gizmo - (1/5), Lexi - (1/5), Violet - (1/5)It was official. Raphael sucked at catering to baby Pokemon. Okay, so maybe he wasn't so bad. Gizmo, at least, seemed pretty happy, if the way the Eevee was cooing while trying to smack Lexi's bottle out of Raphael's hand was any indication. Lexi appeared to be content too, not at all perturbed that Gizmo was interrupting her feeding time. Instead, the Vulpix started flailing her paws just like the Eevee, wanting to play too. "You still have half of the bottle," Raph said, as if reasoning with a young Pokemon would work. A hiss, reminiscent of laughter, made Raph glance up at Violet lounging in her bed in the barn. With a deadpan tone, the young man said to the Seviper, "You could help, ya know."Violet stuck out her forked tongue as a response. With a sigh, Raphael put the bottle and then the Vulpix down. "Alright, if you're done, you're done. Go and play."Lexi did just that by hiccuping out an Ember (which Raphael promptly stomped out) and letting Gizmo Tackle her around the barn. Raphael may have bitten off more than he could chew by having two eggs hatch around the same time. Given that one had a bright, shiny coat for predators to catch sight off and the other was prone to wandering and exploring, and Raph had his hands full. Most of his grown Pokemon weren't exactly parental, either (although, maybe Raph should force Nash to babysit once in a while, considering he had sired Gizmo... then again, the Simisage didn't have the best attention span, either). Maybe he'd give Kris or Kurt a call later... Maybe Raphael could borrow one of Bryar's more patient Pokemon, just until Gizmo and Lexi were, you know, mature and evolved....

Tags: Raphael Green Happiness: Lilac - 0 (1/5), Jasper - 0 (1/5)A second Eevee suddenly joined the first in play Tackling the shiny Vulpix. A Pansage appeared in the barn's doorway as well, glancing at the trio thoughtfully as if he wanted to join in but wasn't sure how without squashing anyone.
"Careful, Lilac," a mild voice from behind the Pansage said. To Raphael, Bryar nodded and added, "Hope you don't mind us dropping by. Figured that Jasper," he gestured to the Pansage, "and Lilac here would like to visit their brother, and maybe Nash. How are you holding up?"
If Bryar remembered correctly from their time together on the older Gaia Ranch, Raphael wasn't exactly the first one to volunteer to take on baby Pokemon.

(Tags: Bryar Glasse, Mod Kris) Happiness: Gizmo - (2/5), Lexi - (2/5), Violet - (2/5)Was Raph seeing things? Why did Gizmo suddenly double? Raphael blinked at seeing a second Eevee abruptly join Gizmo in playing with Lexi (who totally took it in stride and tumbled right along with both of them), then at the Pansage in the threshold of his barn. Okay, that definitely didn't belong on his farm. Nash had been a Simisage for quite some time now-- "Oh," was Raphael's brilliant greeting to Bryar as the other young man appeared. "Hi. These are the other eggs then, hm? Jasper and Lilac?" He nodded as he watched the two Eevee and Vulpix play. To Jasper, he gestured, "Feel free to join in. Don't worry about Violet." He vaguely waved in the Seviper's direction, who stuck her tongue out again at him. "How's everything going?" Raph asked Bryar.

Tags: Raphael Green Happiness: Lilac - 0 (2/5), Jasper - 0 (2/5)Bryar laughed lightly. "'Oh'? That's all I get?"
Raphael gave him a (somewhat) proper greeting before taking a look at Lilac and Jasper. Bryar nudged Jasper to go and play as well, and the Pansage joined in by giving Lexi a light Scratch to poke her with. Lilac Tackled her Grass-type brother, and the young Pokemon were soon all entangled.
Bryar gave the Seviper a small wave before responding to Raphael. "Things are going well. I've gotten my berry patch all set up, so I have a few things planted. Think it's given some of my more, erm, protective Pokemon something to do as well, with guarding the plants from wild Pokemon. How about yourself?"

(Tags: Bryar Glasse, Mod Kris) Happiness: Gizmo - (3/5), Lexi - (3/5), Violet - (3/5)Raphael rolled his eyes, but gave Bryar a crooked smile. "What do you want, a hug and a kiss?"Figuring the young Pokemon were okay (despite everything, Violet would keep an eye on them), Raphael gestured to Bryar to follow him toward the house. "Want anything to drink? Water, milk, soda, beer?"He led the way through the screened-in porch, which was just a step below the kitchen. Leaving the kitchen door open, they had a good view of the barn's entrance, where Lexi and Gizmo, no doubt with Gizmo's siblings close behind, were now tumbling through the barn's doors into the sunshine. Gizmo's Tackles were prompting Lexi to spout out tiny Ember flames, and Raph had half a mind to go and find Rio to stand nearby in case the fires got out of control. However, Violet followed the baby Pokemon, her Poison Tail and Venom Drench smothering the flames out (at the expense of the grounds, but Raph could fix the landscaping later). "Your Pokemon bored?" Raphael asked as Bryar described his berry patch. With a jerk of his thumb pointing to the young Pokemon, he added, "Anyone of 'em want to be babysitters?"Things are going fine around here," he answered with a slight shrug, grabbing himself a beer and Bryar whatever the other young man would like. "Main worry is how bright Lexi's coat is, but my other Pokemon deter any would-be predators from coming around."

Tags: Raphael Green Happiness: Lilac - 0 (3/5), Jasper - 0 (3/5)Bryar laughed at Raphael's cheeky response and followed the other man toward the house on the ranch, having no doubt that Jasper and Lilac would be fine in the company of Raphael's Pokemon. Bryar did give Violet a wave and nod of thanks, figuring that the Seviper had babysitting duty, as Jasper turned a light Scratch to one of his Eevee siblings and Lilac Tackled Jasper in response.
"Water would be fine, thanks," Bryar said as he took a seat at the kitchen table. He gave Raph a crooked grin when the other man asked if any of Bryar's Pokemon wanted to babysit. "What, your Pokemon aren't up for the job? Violet seems to be doing well."
Raphael mentioned his Vulpix's shiny coat, and Bryar hummed in agreement. "It is pretty," he said. "You planning on evolving her at some point? I bet a shiny Ninetales would have a beautiful coat. Any thought about Gizmo's evolution, either?"

(Tags: Bryar Glasse, Mod Kris) Happiness: Gizmo - (4/5), Lexi - (4/5), Violet - (4/5)Raphael took the seat next to Bryar at the table instead of across, allowing both of them a good view of the barn entrance, enabling them to jump up the instant something went wrong with the young Pokemon. "Eh, they kind of take shifts if I need them to," Raphael said in response to the question regarding his Pokemon being decent babysitters. "Violet isn't too bad, really, but if she gets bored she may try to scare the young ones on purpose. Dixie enjoys being around the kids, but her attention span is... well, she's kind of lacking one. My Raichu almost needs a sitter for herself some days."The talk turned of Lexi's coat and evolution. "Probably," Raphael said. "She'd definitely be able to protect herself more as a Ninetales, but I have to read up more on the moves that she'd learn or be missing out on depending on when I evolve her. Gizmo... Well, I was originally thinking of a Flareon, but now I'm not sure... Maybe a Jolteon. He has pretty good speed, and electric moves may serve him well.
"What about... Lilac, was that her name?" Raph glanced at Bryar. "What are you going to evolve her into? You already have a Leafeon with Lily."

Tags: Raphael Green Happiness: Lilac - 0 (4/5), Jasper - 0 (4/5)Bryar's shift routinely glanced from Raphael to the Pokemon outside, watching the young ones played with Violet keeping an eye on them. His mouth twitched into a crooked smile as Raphael explained that, once in a while, the Seviper scared the young ones for her own amusement.
"It may prepare them for battles," Bryar said, trying to sound optimistic rather than amused at the thought, but he wasn't sure if he succeeded. "Do the young ones ever try to attack her in retaliation, or do they just run off in fright?"
He chuckled at Raphael's description of Dixie, and listened as the other man spoke about his youngest's possible evolutions. "A Jolteon would be a nice addition to your ranch," Bryar said. "Who knows, Gizmo may have eggs with someone so you can get a Flareon as well.
"I've been reading up on Sylveon, actually," Bryar said when Raph asked about Lilac. "It's the Fairy-type evolution that was first discovered in Kalos. If Lilac is fine with it, you know. When she's a little older, I'll talk to her about evolving."

(Tags: Bryar Glasse) Happiness: Gizmo - (5/5), Lexi - (5/5), Violet - (5/5)Raphael quirked an eyebrow at Bryar. "Thought you'd be scolding me for letting Violet scare the kids," he said, amusement laced in his tone. "Most of the time they run off, although lately I'm sure they think it's just another game. I've heard Lexi squeal, for example, but it's like she's smiling as she runs to hide."He shook his head after taking a swig of his drink. "I'm worried that she may encounter an actual predator one day and just think it's playing..."Bryar mentioned how Gizmo may have eggs with another Pokemon, and Raphael watched as Gizmo and Lexi tumbled around with each other. "That's a distinct possibility...
"Sylveon?" Raphael's brows furrowed. "Not sure if I've ever seen one before. Although, I've never been to Kalos, so maybe that's not surprising. What does that Pokemon look like?"

Tags: Raphael Green Happiness: Lilac - 0 (5/5), Jasper - 0 (5/5)"Well, it's your ranch and your Pokemon," Bryar said with a slight smile in retaliation for Raphael being surprised that Bryar wasn't scolding him. "Who am I to tell you how to run the place, especially since it sounds harmless? Although, perhaps you may want to encourage the young ones to defend themselves. I'm sure Violet will understand to be gentle, right? It may ease up her boredom with babysitting, at any rate."
Raphael mentioned his worry about predators, and Bryar shook his head, his gaze remaining on Lilac and Jasper playing chase with Raphael's Pokemon. "I think you have plenty of strong Pokemon around to defend the younger ones. Besides, you seem to keep a good eye on all of them because of your worries.
"Sylveon," Bryar began, "are mostly pink and blue, according to pictures I've seen. They also seem to have bow and ribbon-like appendages, especially near their erect ears and around their necks.
"I've never been to Kalos either," Bryar admitted. "It was actually my brother Tyson that first sent me information on the species, as he's meandering around Kalos right now."

(Tags: Bryar Glasse, Mod Kris for more exp) Happiness: Gizmo - 1 (1/5), Lexi - 1 (1/5), Violet - 1 (1/5)"That wouldn't be a bad idea," Raphael said, regarding encouraging a little battle practice for the younger 'mons. Battling was something that he as a trainer was more used to, anyway. "I wasn't sure if they would be considered too young to do that? My parents run a small day care and breeding place in Vermilion in Kanto, and they tended to baby the Pokemon for a while after hatching. Obviously they can use attacks soon after hatching..." Indeed, Lexi shot out tiny Embers at her playmates and Gizmo tended to retaliate with Sand Attack. He gave Bryar a crooked smile of thanks for the other man's praise regarding Raphael's strong Pokemon and his own ability to keep an eye on the young ones. The talk turned to Sylveon, and Raphael raised an eyebrow at Bryar's description. "Sounds... frilly," he said. "I mean, I'm sure it's a great Pokemon. It'd be definitely interesting to see."Tyson's the older one, right?" Raphael asked, trying to remember Bryar's family tree. "What's he doing all the way over there? He used to be in Cinnabar's Gym, right?"
