A Pokemon Story

Ch 9

Disclaimer: I still don't own it...



Calatain and I enter Mt. Moon. It is really dark, and I immediately regret not having a flashlight. However, Calatain is prepared with a spotlight (gotta have some fun) and has turned it on. Chan blinks in the sudden brightness.

"I'm glad someone was prepared." I say.

Calatain turns to me. "You didn't pack one?" He continues to scan the area.

"I thought I did, but I can't find it now." I look around. Then I look down. "Now THIS is out of place..."

"(What did you find?)" Chan asks. He comes over to me, and so does Calatain. They look where I am pointing. On the ground is a pokemon egg. Calatain picks it up and shines the light on it.

"(What is that supposed to do?)" Chan asks.

"Sometimes you can tell what is in it like this. Unfortunately not this time though." He puts his light down. "So who's carrying it?"

"I have room in my backpack if that helps."

We very carefully put the egg in my backpack and wrap a blanket around it. We then continue on.







After about 3 hours of walking, we are still in the mountain. I'm getting exhausted, and I am not the only one... Chan looks like he could use a break. Calatain finally voices it.

"I think we should stop a minute."

"(Ya think?)" Chan says. I glare at him.

"Chan, be nice."

"(Fine.)" Calatain smiles. He then looks at his map.

"According to this, we should be close to the exit." Chan perks up.

"(Then what are we waiting for?!)" Chan almost runs ahead, but I grab his glove and hold him back.

"Chill out a minute will ya?" I still haven't rested enough. But Chan is very persuasive and we end up moving again. [I can't believe I lost to him on that argument...-_-] I think. However, with minimal difficulty, we exit the cave. Both Calatain and I decide to let our pokemon out for some air. Michiko looks around and then runs behind me. I chuckle. Caelestis looks around and stretches. Calatain lets his Machoke and Noctowl out for some air. I look down at Michiko.

"You don't have to be afraid Michiko. They won't hurt you." Michiko pops her head around my legs.

"(Promise?)" Calatain's Noctowl comes up to her.

"(Don't worry little one. You have nothing to fear.)"

"(OK...)" She comes out and sits down. We all find places to sit. I take off my backpack and pull out the egg.

"OK, now that we have some light, let's take a look at you." All of our pokemon (except Chan) look at us surprised. Michiko walks up and sniffs it.

"(What's in it?)" She asks.

"I don't know. We won't until it hatches."

Caelestis walks up and looks at it. "(How long will that be?)" he asks.

I shrug. "I have no clue. Calatian?"

Calatain shakes his head. "Not a clue. It varies with the pokemon anyway. So unless we knew what was in it... we would never guess it."

"(Baby hungry.)"

"(Here we go again)" Chan is always so thrilled.

"Be nice." I tell him. I reach into my backpack. I then pull out some food and bowls. I pour some of the poke-food into a bowl and put it in front of Michiko. She doesn't even wait for it to be put down before stuffing her face. Caelestis just looks at her while I give him his food. He then eats as well, slower than the little Eevee. Chan just takes his own right out of the box. -_- I just shake my head at that. Calatain is feeding his pokemon. Then we get out our lunches.

"(Still hungry.)" Michiko is already done? I groan.

"Sorry Michiko. No more until dinner." Michiko then does the 'little kid going to faint' routine. "Not buying it Michiko."

"(Really?)"

"You'll live. Don't worry."

We start walking again with our pokemon out. The egg we found is back in my backpack, and I am carrying Michiko. As we walk along, we begin to see the skyline of a city.

"That's Cerulean City. Ready for the next badge?"

"Chan, you think you can take some water pokemon?"

"(Of course!)"

"How about you Caelestis?"

"(They won't even get close to me.)"

I smile as we continue on our way. But something is bothering me. Inside my backpack, I thought... I felt the egg moving...





Short, yeah. I have class soon. Oh well. I will try to get more up ASAP.
