What's this?

The moon was full on the night of the great surprise. Mei lay fast asleep. She was a very heavy sleeper. Not one noise had ever woke her. Back at her home, there could be drilling from the next room and still her eyelids wouldn't flicker.

So how would she no if her little egg was about to hatch?

Instinct.

In the first Pokémon Centre she brought the egg to, Mei thought she was not going to move from that place. Well, once she found her feet and started up her journey again, she finally made progress to a few more Pokémon Centres until she stayed over at the third one.

The night was calm, the moon's bright white light shone through the window and into Mei's room. The little egg was sleeping in her usual basket which had been re-decorated by Mei and Vulpix.

Ivysaur slept at the bottom of Mei's bed. What will he think of tonight's little gift?

A tiny noise filled the room, it was so quiet that night that even a pin drop would sound loud. As the noise persisted and gradually got louder, Ivysaur's ears pricked up.

Slowly opening his eyes, he heard the sound of something breaking apart. He made his way to the side of the bed and jumped onto the floor. "...saur..." he cried as he could see the basket and the floor cover in tiny pieces of egg shell. He trotted over, curiously. He no longer felt bitter towards the egg. He was actually feeling very proud of this moment, like he had been the one to take care of her...

He did help, well, in his own little way... So, he did feel like this was a just as a special moment for him as well as Mei.

Mei was facing the wall in her bed, fast asleep, but as soon as she heard a larger piece of the egg drop, her eyes sprung open. She bounced out of the covers and landed on the floor. Without thinking if she hurt herself or not she carefully crawled over to the basket. As her eyes started to adjust she could see the egg was an egg no longer. She sat there for a bit before getting completely excited. She grabbed Ivysaur and jumped up with him. She spun him around and around. "We did Ivysaur! She hatched! She hatched! This is great news!"

Ivysaur's head felt like was going to come off, but still he gave out a "saur!" in agreement and a half a smile to go with it.
