Chapter 10 An Eggsplanation.
(Bad pun, I know.)
In front of me was a strange-looking bird.
It was white, and had a bluish-purple mask and ridges along its back as well as a bluish belly. It had a long neck, and oddly shaped wings.
I smiled. Hello, old friend.
The bird returned my smile, Greetings.
"Whoa," Ash said simply, as he pulled out his Pokédex.
Dexter flashed, "No known data."
Perhaps I can help, I suggested, as I flew up beside my big companion's head. "Mew," I cleared my throat. This is Lugia, a Psychic- and Flying-type Pokémon. He is known as the "Guardian of the Seas". Although the legendary birds are...were...usually peace-lovers, they sometimes got into disputes, and he would intervene and help settle it.
"Why is he here?" Brock looked up at Lugia, craning his neck back.
Lugia spoke up, his gaze on my trainer, Ash. Ash was surprised Lugia knew his name. A rare honor has been bestowed upon you. It is an honor that usually occurs every few centuries.
Lugia took a deep breath, Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno have long lifespans that usually last a few hundred years. When they die, they unanimously choose a trainer to contact in some way...whether the trainer is led to believe that it was due to a different cause or not. They always manage to remain alive until the human arrives. When they die, they leave behind three eggs that the trainer is entrusted to. The eggs have a mysterious and invisible aura, that makes those around suspicious of the bearers. Thus, much trouble would jump into your path if you did not have help. They are also very fragile, and hard to keep from breaking. Those reasons are why I am here. Mew can do a great job of hiding the aura- I blushed, -but he has not had the experience that I have in doing so, and since bird eggs are so fragile you would almost *have* to be a bird to be able to adequately protect them...I shall travel with you.
Ash looked a little confused, so I explained further. Lugia could be vague sometimes. He shall become your Pokémon, as he has with many trainers before you.
"Why were the other birds free?" Misty asked. "I mean, you said that they were entrusted to trainers..."
Lugia laughed, Yes. We have long lifespans. When the trainer dies we are released into the wild. I watch out for them to make sure they do not quarrel over petty matters, because it causes the weather to do odd things. My lifetime is even longer than theirs: I live for an eternity.
"Does that mean you're invulnerable?" Brock inquired.
Lugia smiled, No. I just have a very thick hide that has not been penetrated yet. Due to my strong Psychic powers, I have the opportunity and possibilty available to me to live forever. But I am not invulnerable.
"You said they leave behind three eggs. Why are there four?" Ash asked.
Yes. Ash *was* smarter than he let on. And pretty sharp...
They leave behind three...Except in special circumstances, Lugia explained.
I was curious as well, What kind of Pokémon is in the fourth?
You shall find out soon enough.
Author's Note: Someone suggested more action. More action meaning better and more Pokémon battles? Or more action from Ash and the gang?
Now you know where the fragil (fragile=eggs) comes from in the title SuperfirenFRAGILmewticexpezapidocious?
