Copper's POV

Walking throughout National Park, I catch a glimpse of a Spinarak. It looked right at Quilava, and then it ran for the hills. I thought it strange, but hey. It's scared of being charred. We had just beaten Whitney and decided to relax a little bit in National Park before moving on to Ecruteak to face Morty. He was apparently a master of the occult so we need to buff up our special attack performance.

Quilava and Celebi were prancing throughout the tall grass, playing together. Those two had grown mighty close. I guess Celebi must have told Quilava what it's up to.

CREAK.

I look into my lap, where a large white egg sat. AJ originally came bearing this egg, but now there was a crack in it. Could it be…that the egg was hatching?

"AJ, Quiliava, Celebi, come over!" I shout, "The egg is hatching!" More cracks came about as my partner and Pokemon rushed over. As the group huddled around the egg within my lap, a small, crown-shaped head popped out from the top.

"Togi-pwi?" the small Pokemon cooed as its legs and harms hatched out of its shell. The rest of its body did not seem to come out of the egg. Was it going to be like that Spearow who dons its shell for days or-

"Oh, look Copper! It's a Togepi!" AJ exclaimed, "Congrats! We gotta call Elm soon!"

"What does it look like after it comes out of its shell?" I asked.

"You silly Swanna!" the little booger laughed, "It doesn't! The shell's a part of its body!"

"Oh," I mumbled, feeling dumb. Celebi came to nuzzle me in comfort…

…or not, as the park started to spin again.

"Not this again!" AJ cried, "I hope this one doesn't make you a poutypants! Toss Togepi back so she doesn't get confused and think this is normal!" I quickly tossed the small baby Pokemon back to AJ before the entire park became a pastel pink blur…which cleared into a deep burgundy study.

A woman sat in a padded office chair, apparently doing taxes. She looked determined. Her flaming red hair…

…was identical to Silver's. Oh, not this again.

"Damnit, Celebi, what are you trying to pull?" I whispered quietly so the woman did not hear me.

Speak of the devil, Silver was sitting in the corner of the room, playing with a couple of figures of legendary Pokemon. He was pleasantly humming to himself a cheerful tune. In fact, I think it was the Ben's Pokemon Music song from the talk show. The kid looked like he was having a ball, slightly older than he was in the last flashback.

The woman (his mother?), however, was not amused.

The more Silver played, the more her face turned into one of irritation. Apparently she was doing something of extreme importance. More important than the small boy, apparently, as she broke her pen and turned around.

"Quit making all of that racket, brat!" the woman shrieked at the boy, who looked like he committed a mortal sin by irritating his mother, "You're being incredibly irritating right now. I can't kill you or else your father will kill me at the next opportunity, and then I won't get his position!"

"Mommy, why do you yell at me this much? What did I do?" Silver whispered.

"You were born," the woman scowled. She then picked up the desk telephone and dialed an extension. "Hey, Regina? Yeah, I need Silver out of here. He's bugging me. Punish him accordingly," the woman ordered into the receiver. She then hung up and said, "Regina is going to take you to her house now. Behave or else, punk."

"NOT REGINA!" Silver cried in ways only toddlers could, "She's a meanie! She hits me with things!" At that moment, a stern woman with pink hair entered the door.

"I'll take him when you're ready," Regina spoke up to Silver's mother.

"And that's now," the woman replied. Regina dragged Silver out…

…and then the blur happened again. I was back in the National Park with AJ, Togepi and Quilava.

I grabbed all of them closely. "I love you," I mumbled into AJ's shoulder, "And if I ever hurt you in any way, any of you, tell me I'm wrong. I want to make you feel love. May Arceus love those who aren't."

End

Oh boy, can't wait to finish the memories. This story's gonna be fun after that!
