Matts POV
I went through the entrance doors to the Eevee House knowing that I hadnt been there for a long time. I hadnt told my pokemon where I was going so they still didnt know that we were here. There were a lot of people and pokemon hovered over the area near the couch. I slowly walked by and saw that there was a new baby Charmander that had just been born sitting there while everyone watched.
That had reminded me of the egg I had just gotten that was in my pack. I pulled the warm ball of life out and sat down on the ground. I released all of my pokemon and put the egg between my legs to stay warm. Ark turned around and noticed it, of course. Whoa, what is that between your legs, Matt?! He said in astonishment. Itsan egg, Ark, I said looking at him. All my other pokemon came over and stared at it with Ark. Whats in it, then? Tabitha said. A pokemon is inside of the egg; it will come out when it is ready, though, I said. Wow, that pokemon is so lucky! I wish I was an egg, Tabitha said giggling. You were an egg, Tabitha; a lot of you were eggs, I said, sighing. They all looked confused at what I had just said. Ya know, nevermind; you all go play around the house now, and dont get into trouble, I said shooing them off.
They all ran off on their merry ways except Eiko and Atomos. They seemed concerned about something. What is it, you two? I asked smiling. Im still thinking about what you said before, Mattabout how most of us came from eggs, Atomos said. Well, its a fact of life, Atomos, I said. But I never see my parents at all, She said with her head down. Maybe you will see them sooner or later, I said reassuring her. I never see my parents either, Atomos, so dont feel bad, Eiko said sadly. Youll see your parents sometime, too, Eiko; I promise, I said.
They both looked like they had a load lifted off their backs and Atomos left, running off for Ark. Eiko stayed and slithered up against me. What exactly is in that egg, Matt? She said. Its a Nincada, Eiko; its what everyone calls a captured pokemon, I said. A what? Eiko said. Its different from Adopted Pokemon like you and everyone elseits hard to explain, really, I said a little perplexed on what to say. Do you have anymore of these captured pokemon, Matt? She asked. Yes, I do, and I have one that you might like to talk to, I said pulling out a pokeball. I threw it to the ground and my captured Dratini came out from inside. When Eiko saw another of her kind, she was very surprised. My captured Dratini wasnt impressed with Eiko. Why do you have wings? Come to think of it, who are you anyway? Matt? She asked. Sorry, Dratini, but this is my, how should I say this, other Dratini named Eiko, I said scratching my head. Ok, then why does she have wings and I dont?! She demanded. She was born with them you werent, I answered.
Eiko was still in shock that there was another Dratini for her to talk to. She shly started talking. Hellomy name isEiko, She said to my captured Dratini. Now, you two play nicely and dont start any fights or anything, I said to them, as I got up. I had decided to sit on the couch instead of the hard ground. I carried my egg in my arms and plopped down near the gawking was taking place. I still wondered why my pokemon were so confused about this egg even Ark and Atomos had produced many sons and daughterswhy wonder now?
Nightmare the Meowths POV
Tabitha? Whered you go, sis? I asked, looking around. This place was new to me I had never been in here before, and now I had lost my sister somewhere in this place. I was so scared that I just sat down and crawled up into a ball and started to cry a little. I hope someone helps me find my sister I thought crying some more.
Ark the Umbreons POV
Wow, I suck, I said looking at the wall. What? Why do you suck? I dont think you suck Atomos said. Its just that I lost that race the other day, and Matt was really hoping that I would win, I said with my head down. Dont get so down on this race, Ark; theyll be other races, and this one wasnt one you shouldve been in in the first place, Atomos said. YeahI guess youre right, but I wish there was something I could do to make it up to Matt for losing so easy, I said. Dont worry about it; Diablos lost his race too, Atomos said. Yeah, but I feel like I should do something, but I dont know what right now, I said.
