Handle with Extreme Caution
On the path to Mahogany Town, the heroes came to a small town in the valley and decided to rest and stock up on supplies. They noticed that a lot of trainers were being pulled by their Pokémon while riding on their skateboards. They were practicing for the annual race of extreme Pokémon. Yugi and his friends knew that in ancient times, people used Pokémon to get around as means of transportation. Now in this small town, it became a sport. It looked a little dangerous, but it also looked like fun. And when there was a competition, there was an opportunity Yugi and his friends couldn't pass up. Although Yugi wasn't into extreme sports like skateboarding, he felt an urge to take part in the competition.
Now that Yugi had the equipment, he had to choose a Pokémon for the race and according to the rules, competitors could only register one Pokémon. And based on the Pokémon the trainers where practicing with, they had to be strong and quick and capable of carrying their partner. Yugi decided to use his Bayleef. She was big and strong enough to carry Yugi. The competition wasn't until tomorrow, so Yugi and Bayleef decided to spend the rest of the day practicing for the race. He had a hard time keeping his balance on the skateboard most of the time, but he learned to go with it as Bayleef pulled him around and the skateboard tilted.
After a hard day of practicing and a good night's sleep, Yugi and Bayleef were ready for the race of extreme Pokémon. There was going to be danger, but where there's bound to be danger, it's important to keep calm in any situation because that's the key to keeping control.
After passing through the slopes of the hills, the racers made it to the nearby Pokémon day care center to pick up a dummy egg and carry it back with them to the finish line. Yugi was trailing behind the leader, a trainer with an Arcanine. The leader wasn't going to make it easy for Yugi. He and Arcanine kept blocking Yugi's path. Yugi and Bayleef were going to have to take advantage by jumping from the nearby ledge. When they did, Bayleef began glowing. She grew larger and developed a flowery collar around her neck. Her skin tone also turned into an electric green. She had evolved into Meganium and had now become a lot faster. By a few inches, Meganium made it to the finish line before Arcanine. Yugi and Meganium were the first to bring their dummy egg to the finish line.
Not only was Yugi awarded with a trophy, but the people at the Pokémon day care center were nice enough to give him a real Pokémon egg. What kind of Pokémon would hatch from it was going to be a surprise.
It had been three days since Yugi received his Pokémon egg. He had been stopping at the Pokémon Centers to make sure it was healthy. After receiving thorough checkups, Nurse Joy notified Yugi that his egg was healthy and close to hatching.
The suspense was starting to take its toll on the heroes. They kept on wondering what kind of Pokémon would hatch from the egg. Yugi wanted it to be healthy and hopefully get along with the other Pokémon. Finally, the time was here. The egg began glowing in Yugi's hands. He could also feel something pulsating from inside. The shell cracked and limbs emerged from it. A spikey head also emerged from the shell. It was Togepi.
"It's finally here," Yugi said with glee. "It's a Togepi."
"It's so cute," Emily giggled.
Kaiba began looking at Togepi's information in the Pokédex. "It says here that Togepi is a fairy-type Pokémon said to bring joy and good luck. The only moves it knows so far are Charm, Sweet Kiss, and Metronome."
"It's a little too soon for Togepi to start battling," said Yugi. He decided to start out nice and slow and introduce Togepi to the rest of his Pokémon. He called on Slowking, Mantine, Meganium, and Noctowl. Although they were bigger and fully evolved Pokemon, they knew to be gentle around Togepi. Needless to say the newborn Pokémon was startled and started hiding behind Yugi. "Don't be afraid," he said softly. "These are our friends who've come to meet you." Togepi just tightly held Yugi's shirt and whimpered. Meganium used her vines to reach Togepi and gently touch her. Togepi was scared at first, but started liking the feeling. Meganium also began tickling Togepi. Noctowl approached her and brushed her with his wing. Togepi also laughed at Mantine and Slowking because she thought they were making funny faces.
After the introductions were complete, Yugi gently tapped Togepi with her Pokéball and called her inside. He wasn't ready to train her for battle. For now, he would just care for her like a parent to a child.
