That was painful. Oh my goodness was that painful. And I had to go through that pain alone. Luxray suggested being near me when I had the egg, but I denied him. We were good friends now, but I don't think we're that close yet. Said Luxray was now snoozing under the shady tree in the daycare yard. It has been over two hours since the humans feed us. Maybe they weren't home. They probably would have heard the sounds that I made during the birthing. Or they were asleep. I wasn't too sure. They were pretty old for humans.
At least I had my new egg. I was currently wrapped around it, trying to keep it from overheating. It was very warm today. I didn't envy Luxray. It must have been to a pain to deal with all that fur. I didn't have to worry about that anymore, since I had lost my fur a while ago. It's been so long since I first got here. It must have been months, but our human still wasn't bad. I hope our trainer didn't end up getting hurt. A small part of me missed the wild. Being able to hunt for my food and run around wherever I want. I know that I can't run around anymore since I have this egg. And after that, I might have to take care of a young Eevee. I would have to teach him or her how to do the most basic of things. At least my egg was cute.
It was brown with a lighter brown shading in the middle of it. I was a bit mesmerized by the zigzag in the middle of it. I wonder what the Eevee will want to evolve into. If it wanted to become a Vaporeon like myself, then I could teach it a few moves. I had learned Aqua ring and Aurora beam while in the daycare. It would be interesting to test those moves out, but Luxray was the only one with me right now. I don't think he'd want to used as a target for that.
But that would probably be up to my trainer. When she gets back, I'm sure that Eevee will be fresh for battle and ready to evolve. I remembered Luxray's words with a pang. I might never battle again, just stuck in the daycare. I would be happy to see my child being picked up from the daycare, but I'd still be here. After that I'd probably never see it again. Or any of my other children. I wanted to cry out in anger, but it would be pointless. I was powerless against fate, so I wouldn't be able to change anything.
"What's wrong?"
"Huh?" I lifted my head up from the grass to look at Luxray. He seemed concerned, getting to his feet, "Is your egg bothering you?"
"No. I was just thinking. I'm fine. Thank you for worrying."
He walked over and licked the top of my head, "No problem. Would you like me to keep an eye on the egg?"
"No thanks."
"Worried that I'll eat it?"
"Maybe a bit," I glanced away from his powerful gaze, "It's been a while since we've been fed."
"You're right. Oh, I think I hear them now." Luxray got to his legs and went back to the tree right as the owners entered the yard. Luxray lay down and waited to get fed. He yawned.
I brought my attention back to the Daycare man as he placed food in Luxray's bowl before turning to me. I saw surprise flash across the old man's eyes as he saw what I was curled around.
"I didn't expect this for about another week," He crouched down to pick up the egg. I let out a call of worry. I trusted the human, but nervousness ran through me as I stared at the brown bundle. If it breaks. . .
"I'm sure she'll be happy to hear about this. Good girl," he placed the egg back into the nest and put some straw around it to keep it secure. When he was sure that it wasn't going anywhere, he ran his hand down my back softly. I purred into his touch and he scratched the back of my head, "Don't worry. Your egg is fine, girl. Be a good girl now. Your trainer will be here soon. I'll call her and let her know what happened. I'm sure she'll be happy to see the egg. You might be lonely after she takes back Luxray, since I know how Eevee trainers are. I'll bring my Umbreon. I'm sure she'll be good company."
I didn't want to see Luxray go. Not now. I've gotten so used to seeing him everyday, that it'd be strange to have him gone. But if he did go with the trainer, he'd get to see our kid grow. I won't. I must have been vocal with my thoughts because the old man patted my head.
"It's alright. My wife and I'll take good care of you. You aren't the first pokemon like this, and won't be the last." He tried to reassure me as he filled my food and water bowls. I nuzzled against his leg before I wrapped around my egg again. I never wanted to be closer to Luxray then I did at that moment. He'd be gone so soon. I didn't want to be without him. He was my only friend at the moment. And I was just starting to develop feelings for the intimidating pokemon.
