Chapter 10: Eggs and tails

I reached the Pokémon Centre on Route 32, just outside Union Cave. This would take me to Azelea Town.

As I got there, I noticed a man with a small box.

"Hey kid. I got something for ya".

I told him that I don't talk to strangers, but he opened the briefcase to show a bunch of tails.

"Slowpoke tails, $10,000,000. A bargain. You want some?"

I told him no, and that I would beat him then report him. He got angry and challenged me to a battle.

He sent out his Pokémon.

Spinarak

032

Bug/Poison Type

String Spit Pokémon

1'08" (0.5 m)

18.7 lbs (8.5 kg)

It lies still in the same pose for days in its web, waiting for its unsuspecting prey to wander close.

I sent out Cyndaquil. It used Ember and roasted poor Spinarak in one hit.

With that, the man ran off, but I immediately told the Pokémon Centre. They mentioned that they caught the man on CCTV and that they would block off the entrance's to Violet City to ensure his capture.

"Thank you though" said the Nurse. "Say, is that a Pokémon in your bag?"

I felt my bag shaking a bit. I opened it and noticed the Egg that I had was shaking like crazy. It was starting to hatch!

Piece by pieces, the shell started cracking, until the top half was showing.

Togepi

046

Normal Type

Spike Ball Pokémon

1'00" (0.3 m)

3.3 lbs (1.5 kg)

The shell seems to be filled with joy. It is said that it will share good luck when treated kindly.

Baby Pokémon

My eyes glimmered at how cute this Pokémon was. Immediately I called Professor Elm.

Unfortunately, Professor Elm had a teapot on his head. Obviously, he had slipped and got it stuck so he couldn't see Togepi. This wasn't the best time.

That night, I lay in bed with Togepi. "It was still getting use to the world so I would put it in its Pokeball tomorrow". But the man selling the Slowpoke Tails really got to me. No point worrying about it now, he will hopefully be caught.
