So it's been made clear by some...friends of mine that I should probably sell the results of my breeding endeavors rather than attempting to keep them in hopes that they'll someday completely defy my expectations and actually be useful.

[I mean, he can't possibly imagine why. It's not like his fault that Operation: Ho-Ho-Holy Shit (or whatever it is that we're calling that thing that happened in Celadon earlier this month) involved an unholy mess of bees for no real reason.]

I've attached a list of what I have; get back to me if you're interested. I'd prefer trades over flat-out payment, though I certainly won't tell you no if you want to send me money instead. I don't particularly care what you do with them – give them to your friends, sell them at a profit, keep them and love them forever, whatever. I'd just prefer to not have them around for much longer than needs be.

[...NOT LEAST OF WHICH BECAUSE HE'LL JUST KIND OF HOARD THEM ALL, AND APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT GOING TO FLY...]

[OOC]

[Egg list is here - there are still a mess of them so feel free to claim what you like!]

...you know, I'll be honest with you: I don't think I've ever seen a Durant before.

They really don't seem to be terribly common, do they? I haven't met anyone else with one, either, though admittedly I haven't gone very far.

Curious, then, are you?

[Yes, he's interested.]

Sure. They're interesting enough. I'm not sure what's up with this place and its ridiculous notion of wildlife, but I'm curious about them now anyway.

[Then again, Greed finds most everything "interesting."]

I've got a Tyrunt egg. How's that for you trouble?

Oh, that will be more than acceptable, yes - I was nowhere near the area they decided to show up in, and I admit I've been curious.

Are they terribly troublesome?

[...he says, in a way that implies he sort of hopes they are.]

I wasn't, either. Fortunately I was able to trade for them when they showed up.

[He's smirking, though. Try as he might, Greed really can't escape defaulting to enjoying chaos.]

I'm grateful I don't have many neighbors, let me put it that way.

They don't get any better behaved after they've evolved, for the record.

Well! That does sound exciting. Consider me interested.

[There's nothing like having a couple of eight foot tall Kalosian dinosaurs rolling around in the snow to get people to very quickly start asking questions about their new neighbor.]

I'll send the egg your way, then.

As long as they listen to you, they're not terribly difficult to control.

[If he next sees this guy riding a Tyrantrum through the streets, it's going to be a good day.]

[tally-fuckin'-ho, tbh]

Oh, trust me, I've dealt with my share of creatures that were hard to handle even before coming here. You can say it's an interest of mine.

Durants aren't terribly difficult to handle, though I assume that's a result of my only having the one and not allowing any sort of colony to form. They're hive insects, naturally; as such, keeping too many would likely be a problem, but if they're individually-kept they're surprisingly docile - or at least, Victor has been.

[Thankfully Greed isn't eager enough to have a horde of robot ants trying to overthrow him.]

If you end up with a docile Tyrunt, I'll be surprised, but I'm sure you can handle yourself just find.

[...]

I'm curious about what kind of creatures you were dealing with before coming here. They weren't dinosaurs, were they?

Oh, no, not at all. I dealt in mutations and modifications of existing creatures, and those are long extinct. Really, some of them are closer to...

[Hm.]

...Familiar with the Onix line, by any chance?

[Oh so you're some kind of mad scientist then. Got it.

This is even more interesting.]

I am, actually.

That's a decent starting point. Picture something about that size and with that same penchant for tunneling underground only to pop up at the most inopportune time possible, except its mouth opens on four vertices instead of the usual two, it has far too many fangs for most people to be comfortable around it, and it's more organic than mineral.

If you're imagining a nine-metre worm with a lotus full of teeth for a face, you're on the right track. That's one of my personal favorites.

[...okay he really likes you.

You were busy creating chimera horrorterrors back home. You know what, god bless.]

Was there a particular reason for this or did you just want to see what happened?

My family specializes in bio-organic weaponry; it's what we do.

[So there was a reason! Sort of.

...The reason for that particular thing comes down to "I had way too much t-Virus, also some earthworms," but details...]

[Oh, so it really does come from the same line of thinking as "I needed to keep my job and all I had was my daughter and the family dog" mad science.

Good to know!]

In that case, I think you're going to handle a baby dinosaur just fine. It's not like any Pokemon is particularly vicious, especially if it's hand raised.
