***Back agian, lol. I'm finally done with the Ilex Forest, the next chapter is the Gym Battle!!! Please R&R(read and review)***

~An Egg A Day!~

"Finally," Jen's eyes flashed as the gang made it out of the Ilex Forest, the only thing between them and Goldenrod was a hilly plain with a dirt road, not forest in front of them.

"I was gonna go crazy if we didn't get out soon," Shane sighed, releeved that they were almost in Goldenrod.

"Is it me or does the sun seem more shiny?" Dustin optimistcally asked. "I'm totally ready to get to Goldenrod."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Jen asked and started to walk down the road, Shane and Dustin followed. "Come on out Butterfree!" Jen threw he netball into the air.

"Free!" Butterfree happily chirped emerging from the pokeball, it fluttered above it's master and her friends.

"Your Butterfree is cool," Dustin looked at the pink bug as it flaped it's wing elogantly. "I wounder what all types of pokemon we'll see in Goldenrod?"

"People from all over Johto come to Goldenrod," Shane informed Dustin. "There is so much to do, so much to buy, so much to see."

"I can't wait," Dustin smiled as they walked down the road.

Just emerging from the forest a sneaky Kym and Ken watched out heros. "FINALLY!" Kym screamed.

"Look the punks," Ken pointed to the gang.

"Probably headed to Goldenrod," Kym pointed out.

"Isn't that breeding center somewhere around this area?" Ken asked.

"O yeah," Kym replied, "The place where those two old people raise super tough pokemon, breeding and making eggs!"

"Just think how much the boss would love some rare pokemon eggs," Ken's eyes flashed with stars.

"I know," Kym was also dazzled, "We'd be number one of the list, get all sorts of rich stuff and my Oddish would be a Vileplume!"

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ken sneakly said to Kym.

"Oh yeah," Kym viciously smiled back.

"Hey," Jen pointed to the side of the road, she saw a huge building, outside was a fence that contained some Pikachus, Marills, Sentrets, Furrets, Magbys, and Elekids.

"What is that?" Dustin asked, "There's all sorts of pokemon there."

"A breeding center," Shane answered the two. "Two elders live there, Mister and Miss Reed. They raise pokemon."

"Let's stop by there," Dustin suggested.

"What about the gym?" Shane asked.

"It'll be there when we get there," Dustin smiled and started walking to the building. Shane and Jen sighed and followed.

"Hello," a short elder women dressed in a light blue kimono, "How may I help you?" she asked as Dustin and the gang walked to the building.

"I wanted to see the...place..." Dustin slowly said. "I'm on my way to Goldenrod for a gym battle and figured I could learn some things here."

"I want to learn how to be a good pokemon raiser," Jen added.

"I'm following them," Shane sighed.

"I'm Miss Reed," the elder smiled, "Come in and you can meet my husband."

"Ok," Dustin took the offer, "I'm Dustin."

"Jen," she smiled.

"Shane."

"Nice to meet you," the elder walked through the doors, "Follow me," she said, walking into the building.

"Whoa..." Dustin said as he and the gang walked through the doors and saw all sorts of books and pictures as well as wild pokemon like Nidoran Male and Female, Hoothoot, Weedle, and Pikachu running around in the lobby.

"This place is amazing," Jen gazzed at the amazing building and free roaming pokemon.

"Hello honey," an elder man dressed in overhauls said coming out of a door in the back. "I see you have company."

"These are some trainers," she answered to her husband, "They want to visit the the center."

"Hello," Jen waved, "Nice to meet you, you have an awesome center!"

Mr. Reed chuckled, "Thanks would you like to come and get something to eat, I just made some food."

"Sure," Shane replied, his stomache growling.

Everyone chuckled and then they walked through a door in the back to a huge dinning room with pictures of pokemon, they was a huge table with ten chairs, everyone sat down and Mr. Reed served the food, some fruit and mini sandwhices.

"Hm..." Kym looked at the pokemon in the fence. "A cute Magby," she jumped over the fence into the pokemon's area.

"HA!" Ken copied Kym. "HERE WE GO!" Ken swung his neat and captured a Magby in it. "We got one!"

"MAG!" Magby looked at Ken through the net and blew a jet of flame, burning Ken's face.

"Ouch..." Ken sighed, burned.

Kym chuckled, "This is how it's done!" She swung her neat, swiping a Pikachu in it. "See it's very easy!"

"PIKA!" Pikachu's cheecks started to jolt, "CHU!" Pikachu blasted a jolt of lightning, roasting Kym.

"AH!" Kym was fried. "YOU LITTLE RAT!" Kym grabbed the pokeball containing Ghastly, "GO LICK IT!"

Ghastly appeared from the pokeball and licked Pikachu, paralyzing it.

"THAT'LL TEACH YOU!" Kym laughed.

"CHU CHU!" three more Pikachu chanted running up to Ghastly and Kym.

"Huh?" Kym was confused, "LICK THEM ALL!"

"CHU!" all three Pikachus sent jolts of electricity, blasting Kym and Ghastly.

"GO HOUNDOUR!" Ken summoned his dog pokemon. It howled coming out, "NOW HOUNDOUR EMBER!" Ken commanded.

"DOUR!" Houndour blasted a fireball at the Pikachus, it missed and the three Pikachus scattered. "Dour?!" Houndour was confused then three Pikachus thrusted themself at Houndour, knocking it out.

"Uh oh..." Kym's face grew white as the three Pikachus charged electricity.

"CHU!" the three shouted, blasting jolts of static, knocking Kym and Ken into the air and blasting off.

"So you want to be a master breeder?" Mr. Reed asked Jen as the five continued to eat the food.

"Yes 'sir," Jen replied as she gulped down her water. "I love learning about pokemons habits and how they live."

"It's good to see youngsters who want to breed," Mr. Reed smiled at Jen, "When I was young I was like Dustin, I wanted to be a pokemon champion."

"Really?" Dustin asked, finishing a piece of apple.

"Yep," he nodded, "I was a pretty good trainer, until I met my wife and we started this center, if you'd like when your done I'll show you my skills."

"OK!" Dustin jumped out of his chiar, "DONE!"

Everyone finished eating and they walked outside to a field by the center, Dustin and Mr. Reed had took their places while Jen, Shane, and Miss Reed watched on the sides.

"How about one pokemon each?" Mr. Reed asked, grabbing a pokeball.

"Fine with me," Dustin took the pokeball containing Cyndaquil off his belt and enlarged it. "I CHOOSE CYNDAQUIL!"

"Quil!" Cyndaquil's flames grew as it was summoned into the battle.

"Your Cyndaquil's flame grows fast," Mr. Reed noticed, "That shows it gets plenty of protein."

"Thanks," Dustin smiled at Jen, "I feed it with Jen's custom food."

"Intresting, I'll have to get the recipe sometime," Mr. Reed enlarged his pokeball. "GO RAICHU!"

"Rai!" an evolved Pikachu came roaring out to the battle field.

"What a neat Raichu," Jen viewed the Raichu, "It's yellow coat is very shinny!"

"Raichu use Thunder Shock!" Mr. Reed commanded.

"RAI!" Raichu stook it's tail up and sparks came from it's cheeks, "CHU!" it's body unleashed a powerful jolt of thunder.

"CYNDAQUIL QUICK ATTACK!"

"QUIL!" Cyndaquil got on all four and started to run, dodging the jolts, "QUIL!" Cyndaquil thrusted it's self at Raichu, surprisingly Cydnaquil was knocked back some.

"Whoa," Jen was viewing the battle, "Raichu's electricity hurt Cyndaquil in the process of a Quick Attack."

"Cyndaquil you ok?" Dustin asked, Cyndaquil got back up. "Yeah, NOW USE EMBER!"

Cyndaquil huffed and then shot out a fireball, aiming at Raichu.

"LIGHT SCREEN!" Mr. Reed quickly annouced.

Raichu stuck it's tail in front of it and made an invisable wall, reflecting the fireball. "CHU!" Raichu then sent another jolt at Cyndaquil.

"CYNDAQUIL USE SMOKESCREEN!"

Cyndaquil squeeked and opened it's mouth, unleashing a mist of thick, black smoke. The shocks missed Cyndaquil.

"Impresive," Miss Reed said, "Your friend knows his ways around."

"Or he's really lucky," Shane sarcastically added.

"RAICHU USE SWIFT!"

Raichu jumped up and unleashed a baradge of star shaped energy.

"YOU TOO CYNDAQUIL!"

Cyndaquil jumped into the air and sent out star shaped energy attacks at Raichu. An explosion was made as the two attacks hit.

"Chu..." Raichu landed on the ground panting.

"Cynda..." Cyndaquil landed on all four, tired.

"Now we'll for sure catch those pokemon," Kym laughed from the air ballon as they hovered over the fenced area.

"This will teach those puny pokemon a lesson!" Ken laughed and pressed a button, a huge vaccum like machine started to suck in air.

All the pokemon screamed as they were sucked into the machine and placed in a rubber baloon.

"What was that?!" Mr. Reed asked, alarmed by the sound.

"Sounded like the pokemon," Miss Reed replied.

"Dustin we'll have to postpone," Mr. Reed said, "Come on Raichu!" Mr and Miss Reed along with Raichu ran to the front.

"We're going too!" Dustin said, running after the couple, Cyndaquil, Jen, and Shane followed.

"Where are the pokemon?!" Mr. Reed asked as he looked at the empty fenced in area.

"Up here gramps!" Kym laughed and pressed the button, "Hand over that Raichu!" the vaccum started to suck in air.

"RAICHU!" Mr. Reed jumped to save his Raichu, but it was too late, Raichu was sucked in.

"HAHA!" Ken smiled victorious.

"TEAM ALPHA!" Dustin said as the three ran to Mr. Reed.

"They stole those roaming pokemon!" Jen replied seeing the captured pokemon.

"They also got my Raichu," Mr. Reed added. "Please help!"

"GO FARFETCH'D!" Shane threw his fastball.

"BUTTERFREE GO!" Jen chunked her netball.

"CUT THAT VACCUM!" Shane and Jen said together.

Farfetch'D and Butterfree chanted together and flew up at the vaccum.

"SUCK 'EM UP!" Ken touched button that activated the vaccum, but the vaccum didn't start. "Huh?"

"Might be cloged up," Kym looked down at the ballon and saw Butterfree gnawing on the vaccum pump, Farfetch'D was slashing the ballon holding the pokemon. "NO!"

"RAICHU!" Raichu sent an eletric current at the area where Farfetch'D was slashing, causing a hole to appear.

"Come on out!" Mr. Reed commanded, the captured pokemon jumped out of the capture ballon and landed safely.

"NO!" Kym roared, she looked down at the broken machine as Farfetch'D and Butterfree flew back to their master.

"Raichu blast those crooks away!" Mr. Reed annouced, "THUNDER BOLT!"

"CYNDAQUIL HELP IT OUT WITH EMBER!" Dustin commanded.

"QUIL!" Cyndaquil blasted a fireball at the baloon.

"CHU!" Raichu sent jolts of thunder at the baloon, the two attacks hit Alpha's baloon and caused an explosion.

"NO!" Kym cried as Ken and her were blasted into the air and out of sight.

"Good redence," Shane said as Team Alpha were blasted out of sight.

"Everyone is here," Miss Reed said after she counted the pokemon.

"Thank you so much," Mr. Reed said to Dustin.

"No problem," Dustin smiled.

"Do you want to finish our battle?" Mr. Reed asked.

"We need to get going," Shane cut in. "Sorry."

"It's fine," Mr. Reed smiled, "Good luck in the gym and good luck to you Jen."

"Thanks," Jen and Dustin said in unision.

"Bye!" Mr and Miss Reed said together, waving to the leaving Dustin, Jen, and Shane.

"I'm so ready now!" Dustin said as they walked down the path.

"Good," Jen smiled.

"Yeah my plan is..." Dustin said then he suddenly fell over something.

"You ok?" Shane asked.

"Yep," Dustin slowly got up, "What's that?" he bent down and looked at what he triped over a round egg like object, he picked it up.

"Looks like an egg," Shane said.

"Probably from the center," Jen added, "You gonna keep it?"

"Sure," Dustin smiled and put the newly found egg in his pack, the gang continued to walk down the dirt trail.

***DONE! The Goldenrod gym is next! Will Dustin win? And what lies inside the newly discovered egg? All will be answered shortly(excpt for the egg, lol)***
