Well, I didn't see anything that said "Breeders only", so it can't hurt to try talking to the Breeding Center. They delivered Cyndaquil's egg to me, so it seems there are more ways to get involved in this than battling Pokemon from the wild. I'm grateful for that- I don't think I could handle that sort of thing, even if Izzy does seem more interested in it than I do...

[The Charmander in question gives a low content noise of confirmation. It doesn't understand its trainer's hesitancy in battling, but it won't rush him.]

Torkoal... I haven't seen that one, yet. What does it look like?
