I keep trying to tell myself that its what I wanted, that It was my dream and that I should see it through no matter what but…the more I try to convince myself the harder it is to trust myself. I had a dream to become the worlds best breeder but now the ambition is gone and im back where I started before I found that dream. Pewter City Gym looking up at my powerful steelix who was towering in front of me with a look of concern on his face, but I smiled up at him and he returned the gesture in full. And as he left my presence I began to sink back into my thoughts of disbelief of what I needed or wanted to do with myself. Ash was no doubt somewhere in someone's company causing trouble, and starving. I began to laugh at how he used to complain about being hungry all the time but then I began to think about the others we met, the leaders, the champions and the friends we made all had a greater goal that they had served or began to live out in joy except me. The thought sunk deeper as I began to mull over what I wanted before, sitting in my room all day pretending everything thing was normal as the days went by wasn't helping me move on.

Brock turned his attention to his poke'mon who where happily playing and chatting in usual poke'speak and I smiled at their joy. I walked toward them and looked at my happiny as she began to bounce up and down as I crouched near her and began to rub her head. Our brief time was cut short when my mother called me in

"Brock, Ivy just called and apparently she has a package for you at oaks?!"

she yelled out the window and I sighed for it was probably some work I had to pretend to enjoy for her sake and mine apparently. I called Steelix to attention which took him not time at all to appear and look down at me as he immediately searched for the reason I called him.

"We're going out to oaks, you feel like taking a little trip?"

I called out to him and he seemed thrilled to get away from home even if it was for just a short while.

As I stood on Steelix's back my mind went back to the package, what was it? Maybe some sort of paperwork she was to lazy to handle but not enough to throw it on me, or could it be something actually important?

We made our way to oaks cottage and opened the door with Steelix waiting patiently near the road and for a moment at the same time we both turned our heads to the forest that wasn't far from where he was waiting. Passing it off as nothing would be stupid but none the less I knocked on Oaks door and he immediately answered.

"Brock are you alright my boy?" Oak looked concerned and I just played it off with a joke about officer jenny and he laughed together with me, as the laughter died down he handed me a package and it felt very heavy.

"whats this?"

I looked at it very confused as I didn't know what it was "Ivy just said it was for you and that it would be helping you out from now on". I opened it and and saw a brown and white poke'mon egg and now I was more confused then I was two minutes ago which actually wasn't saying much. Oak was now as confused as I was

"You don't know anything about this?"

I shook my head and then he spoke again "im sure it will be useful in time" I nooded and I coddled the egg in my arms and left for the door but oak stopped me

"here this came with it" it was a note and I smiled

"Thanks im sure ivy just wants me to take care of the little one for awhile" I suggested with my new famous –Fake smile of the ages-

I closed the door and sighed heavily with a breath I didn't know I was holding as I examined the egg carefully but then began walking, didn't look like any sort of egg I had seen so I began narrowing the possibilities in my head so keep myself busy while I walked back to the gym, Eevee? Maybe or a Bidoof or even a- I was cut off as I realized I had gone over about twenty pokemon which earned my a slight nudge from my Steelix to bring me back into reality,I smiled up at him to ensure I am feeling a bit better.

Walking toward the gym before making my way home I reached out to grab the handle to the door and once again got that creeping feeling on the back of my neck.

"Steeeeel.."

At this point steelix was obviously annoyed at the fact something was stalking us. Maybe it was just some ghost pokemon trying to play a trick on us which made me all the more shrug it off and pat Steelix on the tail and ensure him it is bother him again he could go after it which earned me a slight grin from him.

opening the door I sat down with the egg on the bleachers near the gym floor and interesting enough croagunk and sudowudo had began a little sparring match that was going evenly as they traded blows with each other. Looking back down at the egg I started to question myself as to why I felt so better? Not just better even thrilled at having a new pokemon , was it the inner breeder in me or did I yearn for something more? But I still continued to watch their battle with unknown anticipation that even I was not aware of.

Two of my brothers and one of my sisters had walked into the gym with some fruit and pokemon food and I raised an eyebrow and them then realized it was now almost dawn and my geo's and happiny had found a comfortable sport on my sides and around the egg during my day dreaming but that just made me sigh again which I accepted to be a common action from now on. My siblings walked up to me with large smiles on their faces from feeding my pokemon and I thanked them for it greatly but they seemed to notice the egg in my arms and started to grab for it but I gently put their hands down for I just felt protective over it,

"Where'd you get the egg?" my brother asked as he looked at it,

"Looks like a normal type" the other asked but my younger sister just stared it awe. For a moment I thought about giving the egg to one of my sibling but for some reason I quickly dismissed the idea and smiled at the trio but before I could answer them my mother started shouted

"Brock get your brothers and sisters inside so we can eat ok?!" I could barely hear her but I simply rounded them up and made my way toward home with the egg still in my arms.

As I walked in the front door I saw my father in his muscle shirt and baggy cargo pants with a pair of boots showing he just got back from work in the new pewter mine and as I turned to my mother who happily wore her favorite purple sweater and matching blouse I smiled as she started to serve my brothers and sister who had sat at the table.

"Where'd you get that?" my dad pointed at the egg in my hands.

"Ivy apparently gave it to me for some reason" A reason I would soon find out because the egg was starting to shake but when I saw my mom going back into the kitchen and motioned for her not to make me a plate "You feeling alright?"

I smiled and held up the egg and went out the door to go witness the egg hatch for now it was just shaking more rapidly in my arms.

I sat it in the middle of the gym floor and took a seat in front of it myself and just waited for it to hatch hoping that it was soon for I was actually wanted happily and anxiously wanting to know how this would help me as so ivy said and what kind of poke'mon it was. After five more minutes had passed the egg began to glow signifying it was hatching to which I closed my eyes and waited for it to hatch and when I opened them I was even more confused at the poke'mon that come out to the point I was tilting my head with my mouth slightly open. There it was a Bunery, a Bunery with brown and….pink fur I just stared at her for a moment and she stared back with the same expression as mine but then I stopped and gently smiled at her then opened my arms.

"Hey there!" Was all I could manage and I guess it worked for she quickly jumped in my arms and started laughing along with me and I was laughing at hatching a poke'mon? Why was I so happy? I didn't notice my other poke'mon watch with happy looks on their faces for seeing me filled with so much joy over something so simple.

As I stopped cuddling the Bunery I lead her to my other pokemon who greeted her happily but for some reason she was shy beyond belief and it confused me because she was so open to me or maybe it was because she see's me as a father? She hid behind my leg and I waved my hand at the group to signal id take her to the house for the night.

The family was asleep and I silently made my way to my room with the bunery in my arms and as I looked on my nightstand I saw another package and it looked the same as the one the egg came in but it was a little smaller. I put her down and went to open the package that had a ferry ticket for the orange islands then I felt like I was being watched again so I looked around for a moment and then back at the package then I noticed it was white with green ribbons on it then I put it down and looked around to see the Bunery a little freaked out at my reaction to the gift that she was holding onto my hand with both of her smaller ones trying to cheer me up and I looked down with a smile "You're so sweet for knowing me less than two hours" I chuckled "Bun" She questioned but I just ruffled her ears and head maybe that's a good name for you? Something sweet? Maybe Loli? She looked like she was about to be sick at the name which earned a sweat drop from me, Cotton Candy?...Candy? she smiled at me and nodded as I sat her on the bed next to me, so that's it now candy..i guess we might be going

I came back from being dead, for some reason I went to check how this story was doing and I saw one lonely review on how someone actually enjoyed my writing. So I decided "Why the fuck not?" it actually liked where this story was heading and I have nothing better to do at the moment.
