Capturing a Chocobo

Breeding Your Chocobos

first recall: "The green chocobo is called a mountain chocobo, and he can cross any mountain"
second recall: "The green chocobo was bred from a great chocobo and a good chocobo with a carob nut" (an interesting note here is that Chole will summarize up to the third recall at this point - a glitch or a mistake I presume)
third recall: "About mountain and river chocobo - mate to get one that can cross rivers and mountains"
fourth recall: "There's a chocobo that can cross oceans"
fifth recall: "The ocean-crossing chocobo is ... the Mountain-and-river crossing chocobo is ... is ..."
that's it for this one
sixth recall: "Take the mountain-and-river chocobo, mate it with a wonderful chocobo you can catch in this area and you'll get ..."
seventh recall: "You'll need a zeio nut"
eighth recall: "Zeio nuts are "the favorite of Goblins. There's a small island east of here where the goblins have a bunch of them."
Finally he says "I think ... that's all I'm gonna remember" or "Oh ... that's it"

It is very important to note that although you can buy the stalls and begin to capture and breed chocobos after the botched execution and acquiring the Highwind, you CANNOT race them at the Gold Saucer until you get Cloud back in your party which means you must go ahead with the North Corel and Fort Condor huge materia quests first, then return to Mideel to get Cloud back in your party. Only then will the Gold Saucer reopen so you can race your chocobos to level them up before breeding.
