After the Chloreenis Tournament our heroes continue their journey as they head for Kari's next contest.
"I wonder who this Mina is?" Kari said as she looked at the letter she got.
"We'll know soon." Ash said.
"Now Tauros use Take Down." They saw a farmer boy training a Tauros as it was running around.
"Hey look at that Tauros go." Ross said.
"That's a Tauros?" Davis said taking out his pokedex.
"Tauros, the Wild Bull pokemon. Tauros charge at full speed and they can make themselves go faster by whipping themselves with their three tails."
"Wow that Tauros does look amazing." Ash said.
"That's right you have like 30." Ross said.
"Faster Tauros!" The boy cried out and the Tauros moved even faster and was heading straight for them.
It's always hard when your journey begins
How to find your way
How to make new friends
But there's nothing you can do
Cause you got the power inside of you
It's not always right or wrong
As long as your spirits strong
It's not about win or lose
It's the path you choose
Let the journey begin
Pokemon
(Kari's voice) Egg-tra Ordinary
Tauros kept running at them with them in a panic until the boy saw them.
"Tauros return!" The boy cried out and got Tauros in a pokeball. "Sorry about that, Tauros gets a little out of control when he runs."
"It's alright." Davis said.
"Yeah you didn't even see us." Kari said.
"Hey wait don't I know you?" The boy said. "Hey yeah, you're Kari Kamiya. You won the Hoenn Grand Festival and now you're here on my farm." The boy grabbed her hands and started shaking them. "This is amazing. It's a real honor, by the way my name is Eddy."
"Uh hi?" Kari said thinking he was acting a little weird.
"Uh hey what about me, I won the Hoenn League?" Davis said.
"Really? I'm really more into contests." Eddy said.
"Oh are you a coordinator?" Kari said.
"Well no I help out on my parent's farm." Eddy said. Then Ash's stomach began to growl.
"Oh sorry, I guess I'm hungry." Ash said.
"Would you like to come in and have some food?" Eddy said.
"That sounds great." Ross said. Eddy took them to his farm where they introduce themselves and met Eddy's parents.
"Here you go." Eddy's Mom said as she gave them some stew.
"Thank you." They all said.
"We don't have that many visitors. My name is Gilbert." Eddy's father said.
"My name is Violet." Eddy's mother said.
"So what do you do on this farm?" Davis said.
"Well what we mostly do is take care of pokemon eggs." Gilbert said.
"Pokemon eggs?" Kari, Davis, Angewomon, and Imperialdramon said.
"That's right, you guys never saw pokemon eggs have you?" Ross said.
"I didn't even know pokemon came from eggs." Davis said.
"Can we see them please?" Kari said.
"Of course, the egg storage is just out back." Violet said. They went in the storage room and saw pokemon eggs everywhere.
"Wow I never saw pokemon eggs before." Kari said.
"So pokemon come from eggs just like digimon, both kinds have a lot in common." Angewomon said.
"So what do you do with all these eggs if you can't cook them?" Davis said.
"We usually take care of the pokemon that hatch from them until they're ready to go out on their own, or if trainers come by and help us out we give them one." Eddy said.
"Wow I would just love to have one." Kari said.
"Hey how do you know if they're going to hatch soon?" Imperialdramon said.
"Usually they start to glow and that's a sign that they're real close to hatching." Ross said.
"Have you guys had any pokemon eggs before?" Davis said.
"Yeah my Donphan came from an egg when it was a Phanpy and so did my Scraggy." Ash said.
"It must be great taking care of all these eggs." Kari said.
"Yeah it can be a lot of fun." Eddy said as he started rubbing an egg with a cloth, but Kari saw that he had a sad look on his face. Meanwhile Team Rocket was outside and heard them.
"So they have pokemon eggs." Jessie said.
"Imagine all the money we can make if we had them." James said.
"All by a tisket, a basket." Meowth said. A little while later Eddy walked out and saw Davis brushing Liepard.
"Alright Liepard Kari wants you looking nice since you evolved so just quite fussing." Davis said.
"Hey you're a trainer right?" Eddy said as he walked up.
"If not then I'm walking around for nothing." Davis joked.
"Then how about a battle? I don't get all that many challenges so how about a battle with that Liepard of yours." Eddy said.
"But this Liepard belongs to Kari." Davis said and that spooked Eddy a little.
"Hey guys." Kari said as she came up. "What's going on?"
"I think Eddy wants to battle your Liepard Kari." Davis said.
"Eddy you want to battle Liepard?" Kari said.
"Well I don't know since it belongs to you? You are a top coordinator." Eddy said.
"It's okay Eddy I'll battle you if you want to." Kari said.
"Liepard!" Liepard wanted to battle so it got ready.
"Okay." Eddy said and ran across from Kari. "Now Tauros let's go."
"Roo!"
"Okay Liepard use Shadow Ball." Kari said.
"Liepard!" Liepard shot the black orb, but it didn't work.
"What happened?" Kari said with Eddy and Tauros laughed.
"For a top coordinator you don't know that much. Tauros is a normal type and ghost type moves have no effect." Eddy said.
"In that case Liepard use Fury Swipes" Kari said.
"Tauros use Horn Attack." Eddy said. Tauros' horns glowed and both of them were attacking each other. "Tauros use your Take Down."
"Here it comes Liepard, get ready." Kari said.
"Tauros use Double Team." Eddy said and as Tauros charged he made copies of itself confusing Liepard. Then the real one hit Liepard.
"Eddy's a great trainer for someone who just stays on this farm." Davis said.
"Tauros use Hyper Beam." Eddy said and Tauros was charging up its attack.
"Liepard we have to use Assist." Kari said. Liepard's paw glowed. Both of them launched their attacks and Assist turned into Eevee's Hidden Power attack and it caused an explosion. "Now Liepard use Fury Swipes." Liepard jumped through the smoke and scratch at Tauros.
"Oh no Tauros!" Eddy shouted.
"Let's finish this with Assist." Kari said. Assist turned into Angewomon's Hurricane attack and knocked Tauros out.
"I guess that's it." Davis said.
"Tauros, return." Eddy said as he got Tauros back in his pokeball.
"Eddy you really are a good trainer. Your Tauros knows some powerful moves." Kari said.
"Thanks Kari, to be honest I want to go on a journey and be a coordinator, but I'm scared to ask my parents." Eddy said.
"Eddy if you want to go on a journey you shouldn't be scared to ask you parents. If being a coordinator is your dream you should go after it." Kari said.
"Kari's right, going on a journey can be a lot of fun." Davis said and Eddy was thinking about it. It became later at night and Team Rocket was sneaking into the egg storage and grabbing all the eggs.
"Eggs are part of a balance diet." Jessie said.
"Yes, a check balance." Meowth said.
"Just think of how healthy our check balance will be." James said. Then Violet came in.
"Excuse me who are you?" Violet said.
"Uh oh make like an egg and scram." Meowth said and they made a run for it.
"Stop those aren't your eggs." Violet said and then pulled an alarm alerting everyone.
"Mom what's the matter?" Eddy said as they all ran by.
"They stole all our eggs." Violet said and they saw Team Rocket with sacs of eggs.
"Team Rocket!" Ash shouted.
"Prepare for trouble, we have the eggs"
"We passed you by a leg"
"To protect the world from devastation"
"To unite all people within our nation"
"To announce the evils of truth and love"
"To extend our reach to the stars above"
"Jessie"
"James"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight"
"That's right"
"Team Rocket?" Eddy said.
"Bad guys who steal anything including pokemon." Ash said.
"Hand over the eggs." Ross said.
"You three are as rotten as them." Imperialdramon said.
"No can do." Jessie said.
"We'll be taking great care of these eggs for now on." James said.
"And don't even try to stop us because if you attack us you'll hurt all these eggs." Meowth said.
"They got a point." Angewomon said.
"Pikachu."
"You're right Pikachu we got to do something." Imperialdramon said.
"I know, long range attacks might not look, but close range just might. Have your Tauros use Take Down." Kari said.
"Oh yeah, that just might work." Eddy said. "Tauros use Take Down!"
"Roo!" Tauros came out and tackled them having the eggs flying.
"Kadabra come out and use Psychic, catch those eggs." Davis said.
"Kadabra!" Kadabra was able to catch all the eggs with its mind.
"You're going to pay with this." Eddy said.
"No one steals defenseless eggs." Kari said. "Angewomon use Hurricane."
"Tauros use Hyper Beam." Eddy said. Both of them launched their attacks and Team Rocket was flying off.
"So much for eggs being good for you." Jessie said.
"Maybe I can make us sunny side up eggs." James said.
"There is no sunny side to this." Meowth said.
"We're blasting off again!"
"That takes care of them." Ross said.
"And we got all the eggs back." Ash said as Kadabra placed all the eggs gently down.
"Eddy now's your chance to ask your parents." Kari said. Eddy knew it was now or never. He was nervous, but he walked up to them.
"Uh Mom and Dad I want to ask you something." Eddy said.
"Let me guess. You want to go on a journey." Gilbert said.
"Honey all you had to do was say so." Violet said. It became morning and Ash and the others were about to leave.
"Thank you for all the help." Gilbert said.
"We were glad to do it." Ash said.
"Well we better get going." Ross said.
"Kari wait!" Eddy said running up to them with a red egg in a case. "Kari you told me to go after my dreams and you helped us out. I want you to have this."
"Wow my own egg!?" Kari said.
"But you have to wait and see what pokemon it is." Eddy said. After that Kari took the egg and they all walked off.
Kari and Davis now know what pokemon eggs are like and Kari has her own to take care of. What kind of pokemon will hatch from that egg? We'll have to wait and see.
