Author's Note: I had a dream...the lil' critter's name could be...Ziggy!! Okay, it's more of a male name than a female, but its still interesting... (Fine. So it didn't come to me in a dream Friday {the 1st of June I believe} it came to me in a Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman episode [for you Lois and Clark fans it was the magician's lil' helper dude with the cool clothes!].) Well. I thought it was a cool name...
Sorry it's taken so long to post a new chapter but I've been very very busy...
Chapter 20 No More Eggs, At Last
The next morning was a dreary one. The sun was hidden behind a blanket of clouds, and the rain was pouring down like it would never stop.
But stop it did. About midday, that is.
And, as it sometimes does, a big, gorgeous rainbow appeared.
With the exception of Mr. Mime and Ms. Ketchum (as well as our Pokéballed comrades), our whole party moved outside to admire it.
The ground was muddy, but the fresh damp grass brought a nice scent to our appreciative nostrils. Well...Those of us that had nostrils...
Awed silence overtook us, and we stood solemnly, our gazes turned towards the rainbow. Except for the three birds that is, who were quibbling quietly.
Misty spoke, "It's beautiful."
"Yeah," Ash replied, as his bag started wiggling. "Huh?"
The backpack tore itself from him, and slammed to the ground, hopping up and down.
Telekinetically, Lugia opened the backpack, and brought out the squirming black/rainbow egg.
With a blaze of light, the egg bursted open, and out came the oddest-looking bird Pokémon I'd ever seen.
First, imagine a black bird. Then, place a partially closed umbrella around its upper neck like a frill. Next, think of a sword, and how it goes straight and then triangles out at the end. Those are how his wing feathers were. Its beak was gentle-looking, and its tail was like a feather plume.
But the weirdest part is its color. Not the black, but...
Well. Imagine scales. Green, purple, and blue scales, with black outlining them, like closely together spots with black separating them. And, almost like our other new addition to our party, they blinked into black, and then flashed back to their original color. Its kind-looking eyes were a pretty violet color.
It opened its beak and chirped in a high-pitched little voice slightly similar to Togepi's, except cuter-sounding, "Spectra!"
"Trace?" Moltres questioned, as she hopped over to it. She nibbled inquisitively at the bird's feathers and it snapped at her.
She jumped back in startlement, and cawed angrily, "Molt!"
Zapdos began laughing, and Articuno merely looked on in distaste.
"Mol!" Moltres sent a circle of flames towards the newly hatched Pokémon.
The colorful bird shot out a rainbow blast that disintegrated the fire.
As it became furious with Moltres its scale-like colors changed from blue, green, and purple (the cool spectrum) to red, orange, and yellow (the warm spectrum).
As Lugia parted the two mad birds, Brock commented, "Interesting. When it got angry its colors shifted from calm colors to bright inflamed colors..."
"Spectra!" our newest member taunted Moltres.
Moltres sent the other bird an evil glare, and our little Mew-like critter echoed, "Spectra!"
Spectra looked at her questioningly, and she giggled, "Pi pika!"
It was at this point that Pikachu gave her an inquisitive glance, and she looked a little sheepish.
I'm assuming that the bird's name is Spectra...
Lugia nodded, I imagine it is.
Ash bursted out suddenly, "Ziggy!"
Everyone turned to look at him. He was sheepish, "We could call the black cat Ziggy..."
Brock was skeptical, "Ziggy?"
The cat in question repeated, "Ziggy?"
Misty shrugged, "Sure."
"Mew," I agreed.
After a chorus of agreement it was decided that the black Mew was to be called Ziggy, so as not to confuse her with me.
During all this commotion, Spectra was feeling rather left out, and spat out a rainbow ray up into the air to call attention to herself. We laughed, and Ash squatted down beside it and mumbled incoherent words that appeared to offer some condolence, and it fluttered its wings happily, attempting to fly.
Moltres smirked, and flew up high into the air, showing off her fiery wings, flames sparking into the air majestically.
Snorting, Spectra caused another colorful blast to fly up into the air, this one causing Moltres to be grounded with a squawk.
Before Moltres could retaliate, Lugia stepped in.
I could tell this was going to be a long day.
