No, Peda, you may not leave a message.

Hello.

My name is Sandalphon. Forgive me for contacting you out of nowhere, however I was told you provide breeding services for Pokémon. I’m rather new, so I figured I’ll try my hand at buying an egg or two.

Please, tell me how much you charge for your services and I’ll be happy to provide payment. Thank you.

[ was that too formal? lacking in detail? too short? too long???? sandalphon hit send before he could overthink it and chicken out. it would be easier if they had met in person before, but he wasn’t picky. ]

[What a surprise! Erina hadn't expected a message this way.]

Dear Mr. Sandalphon,

The cost of the eggs depends entirely on what you are looking for, I will include a list of species that you may be interested in and we can consider egg groups from there. Is there anything you are looking for in particular, like type or skills?

With warm regards,

Jonathan & Erina Joestar

I’m relived to see the message arrived without issue.

I’m specifically looking for any electric or ice types that you may have. I plan on taking on the Gyms, and I need as much type coverage as I possibly could. Right now, I’m limited as to what I could do to Falkner with my current lineup.

- Sandalphon

[puddlesoverdios]

I have several, so here is a list:

- Dedenne
- Froslass
- Mr. Mime (Galarian)
- Lapras
- Luxray
- Pachirisu
- Piloswine
- Vanilluxe
- Zebstrika

I shall get my husband's list to you shortly, if none of these options suit.

- Mrs. Joestar

[dejabrewed]

After much deliberation, I’ll take your Luxray. Though from your selection, I might come back for others.

How much do I owe you?

- Sandalphon

[puddlesoverdios]

[That is the rub, isn't it? Though, they do sell lots of eggs and shooting for a larger pokemon...]

5000, I believe is fair. We won't know if it has a hidden ability or not until it is hatched, but I won't raise the price.

[dejabrewed]

That’s quite generous of you. I’ll have to prepare something as a token of my gratitude.

[ that definitely meant some sort of coffee was coming erina’s way. ]

I’ll send payment as quickly as possible. Thank you again, truly.

[puddlesoverdios]

Oh, no thanks is necessary, Mr. Sandalphon. This is our profession here, after all.

But all the same, you're quite welcome. Perhaps you'll consider getting other pokemon from us in the future. I have a list.

[dejabrewed]

Nonsense. You’ve done me a wonderful service. It’s only right that I return the favor. So tell me— how do you take your coffee?

As for the other pokémon, I’ll definitely keep that list open. It’ll definitely be easier than catching, sometimes…

[puddlesoverdios]

I cannot say I disagree with you. When I first arrived here, after my husband, we toured the country, looking for pokemon and enjoying our trip. Sometimes, it is indeed much easier to buy then waste numerous pokeballs trying to attain them...

[Sounds like she speaks from Experience...]

[dejabrewed]

[ she’s totally speaking from Experience and sandy is very much grateful for the validation. ]

I’ve been told my money saving techniques are considered being a ‘cheapskate’ which… I don’t see it as such.

[ its called emergency money!! ]

[puddlesoverdios]

I would think being frugal is a positive, not a negative. One must save for anything deleterious that comes one's way.

[She smiles at her screen.]

We shall get on with breeding your Luxray as soon as possible.

[dejabrewed]

Finally, a voice of reason.

[ he was constantly outnumbered when he begged the captain to save, so this was a breath of fresh air to the angel. ]

Thank you again. I’ll be waiting, as well as preparing your payment and gift as soon as possible.

[ and indeed he does, as when erina receives payment, she also receives a bag full of sandy’s signature coffee! ]
