Arashi and Isaac: Before the Experiment.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon, and I am not making any money from this fanfiction.

In an old wooden house a little way outside New Bark Town, Naomi Hazard sat on the sofa with her Chansey, waiting for her husband, Surgam, to come home. Normally, she would be working in the Pokemon Center, but she was heavily pregnant, and on maternity leave. A small Eevee named Isaac wandered into the room and brushed against her legs, making her laugh. Surgam had brought brought him home from work two weeks ago, to help look after the baby.

Surgam ran up the path to the house, carrying some bags of supplies. His Kadabra saw him coming, and opened the door. "Thanks Ari!" he breathed, and rushed into the living room. Aristotle sighed, wishing that Surgam wouldn't keep cutting things so close, before heading into the kitchen to boil some water for the towels.

The next morning, Isaac got his first look at the new arrival. The baby was male, and had inherited his mother's deep purple eyes. He stared up at Isaac from Naomi's arms, as if waiting for something.

Isaac wasn't sure what the boy, named Arashi, was expecting, but he seemed to want something. Nonplussed, he went to ask Aristotle.

"That baby won't be big enough to understand anything for a while, so don't worry. It's when he starts grabbing things, or crawling, that you'll need to keep an eye on him. Just think of him as your hatchling brother, and keep him out of trouble." explained the Kadabra. Isaac nodded, that sounded reasonable, but there was one more thing that was bothering him. "Why doesn't he have any hair? His parents do." Ari chuckled, amused by the pup's question. He explained to Isaac that humans aren't always born with hair, but that it usually grows later. Isaac nodded again, relieved that there was nothing wrong with Arashi, but he thought that it was a rather silly way to be. After all, wouldn't he get cold?

Leona, the Chansey, bustled around the house excitedly. She loved babies, and now she'd been sent to round up the cuddlies for her trainer's baby from the supplies that Surgam had bought. After a lot of searching through the bags, she found a nice stuffed Abra. She carried it into the living room, and handed it to Naomi, who tucked it into her arms next to Arashi.
