Chapter 3: I still see the X
Y'know, it's weird how this is the first time I'd ever seen the inside of an egg.
Floating in front of me was the X. Or perhaps I was floating in front of it. Whatever the case, I decided to turn away from it, only to find that attempting to move away did not work. The X was still there.
Going over the events in my mind, I concluded that I had, or rather, was soon going to be, reborn as a Pokémon. Which species? I did not know as my sense of feeling was all over the place (basically I couldn't tell my own body shape) and it was really dark. Or perhaps this weird void was an afterlife after all. But even then I could not be sure which one it was. The only thing I knew for certain was that I could still see the X.
I don't know how much time had passed between my first discovery of the letter and the time when it finally came to me what it meant and what to do. I'm guessing that my brain had to physically redevelop first before I could make full use of my cognitive abilities to where they once were again.
My conclusion said that the X was there to point out a weak spot in the egg's shell. If that Ralts was true, this X was likely a part of the interior of all Pokémon eggs to give a clue to the Pokémon inside what to do about their situation. Knowing that, I decided to break out and be reborn.
I punched the letter, and only ended up hurting my arm. I forgot about that physical development thing. You see, because Pokémon have had to fight for survival upon entering the world, I'm guessing that they had to develop for quite some time inside the egg before being powerful enough to be granted life.
I knew that until I was strong enough, I would still see the X.

Yeah, I know this Chapter is short. Next chapter has the reveal.
