With a slight sigh, I turned to the professor, only to receive a slight nod. Letting out a slight gulp, I brushed my hand against the smooth surface of the strange egg, feeling the warmth radiating from within. Gaining a bit more confidence, I was finally able to grasp hold of the fragile thing, lifting it up. It gave a slight shake, causing me to almost drop it, but luckily I had fast enough reflexes to prevent this. \n\n\tA weak sigh came from the side, “Derek, you really must be more careful, what if next time, you aren’t able to catch it?” I looked down with a slight pout, “I know, Professor, but I couldn’t help it. The egg shook, how was I supposed to know that was going to happen?” A warm hand rest on my shoulder, “I told you, it’s very near hatching. Ready eggs shake on occasion, you just have to be ready for it at all times.”\n\n\tI nodded slowly, holding the egg tight against me as it shook again, “Ok…professor. I understand that you trust me, I just…don’t quite trust myself with such an honor just yet. But, this means that I am a trainer, I can’t stay with you anymore.” Rowan shuffled around a bit, picking up a few items, his voice seemed distance, “Yes, I understand, and have already prepared. You remember that little cabin in the woods? I want you to stay there until you’re new Pokèmon hatches, understand.”\n\n\tLooking up, I saw that he was turned away, so he wouldn’t have spotted a nod, “Yes, Professor Rowan, I understand fully. I guess I can care for myself, but the egg, it needs an incubator still…” The professor let out a slight chuckle, “I set up an incubator in the cabin for the egg, like I said, I’ve planned this since you found that little egg. Everything is fine here, it’s about time your journey started, don’t you think?”\n\n\tI walked up behind the professor and gave him a slight hug, “Thank you for everything, Professor Rowan, I promise…I’ll make you proud.” With a gentle smile on my face, I gripped tight to the egg and ran out the door before he could respond. Too much emotion for me, I’ve never really been that kind of person.\n\n\tHeading down the side-path just outside of the lab, straight into the forest, it wasn’t long till I found the small log cabin that the professor built long ago. There were plenty of happy memories here, and quite a few not so happy memories. \n\n\tCarefully, I rest my hand on the door, turning it with a rusty squeak, the sound echoing into the trees. The thick, rustic air rushed out to greet me, the small egg shaking in my grip, at least this time I was ready. Holding a bit tighter, I waited for the Pokèmon within to settle, the egg slowly ceasing its shakes. With that out of the way, I headed into the cabin, my weight pressing hard on the floorboards, causing them to creak slightly.\n\n\tWith a passing look around the cabin, I spotted a much larger bed than I remembered, a perfect fit for me. And settled next to the bed, was a small incubator. Incubators used to be much larger, but this one was obviously a new model, the pristine orange-red metal that made the base glimmered in the fading sunlight. Set atop the base was a small lavender down cushion, and covered with a glass hood. The glass held in the heat to keep the egg warm, and the cushion kept it stable.\n\n\tI took a quick sniff at the air, coughing and gagging as a cloud of dust swarmed my nostrils, “Dangit professor, couldn’t you have at least dusted?” I let out a slight chuckle, kneeling down by the incubator, lifting the hood, and setting the egg down on the cushion. The moment it settled down, the egg shook again, and a ring pulsed in my heart, “So, I guess you like it then?”\n\n\tEven though it was just an egg, I couldn’t help but smile at it, and something in my heart told me, that in a way, whatever rested inside, was smiling back at me. I pushed a few buttons, and the incubator whirred, doing a quick scan of the egg and beeping, alerting me to set the hood back on. After doing so, the area within changed pressure and temperature, adapting to best aide the egg in its growth.\n\n\tLooking over the different buttons and switches, I noted that Professor Rowan had purposely given me an incubator that didn’t have a view-screen, normally used in later stages of egg life, to show you what kind of Pokèmon waited within. I guess he meant it to be a true surprise, but something told me, he already knew what was in there, he is a genius after all.\n\n\tThe sunlight was almost gone now, as I lay my head gently on the soft pillows. Just as I lifted the blanket to draw over my body, a loud explosion roared in the distance, the cabin shaking. I quickly looked down at the incubator, the egg held within. Luckily, it was unaffected by the small quake.\n\n\tReacting quickly, I hopped out of the bed, my bare feet slipping on the cold wood, causing me to fall. “W-woah! OW!” My nose began to bleed, but that didn’t matter, I had to hurry. Running to the door, I stopped, my hand resting on the handle, “I can’t leave the egg…but, I can’t let it get harmed.” My mind fought itself for a few moments, before I finally rushed back and took the egg out of the incubator, rushing outside.\n\n\tA pillow of thick, black smoke blew from the distance, instantly I knew where it was from, “The lab!” Grasping the egg tight, I ran down the path, “Professor…I hope he’s ok.” Worry ran from my mind to my heart, and the egg began shaking, somehow feeling what I felt. A pang pierce into my chest, though I ignored it, and kept going onward.\n\n\tWithin moments, I was outside the lab, a large hole in the wall, smoke plowing from it. “Professor!” I called, “Professor Rowan, are you ok?!” My call was answered by a flamethrower from the smoke, “Don’t worry about him, he’s fine, now give us that egg you brat.” I gripped the egg tighter, “Never! Now show yourselves!”\n\n\tA chuckle sounded, followed by a command, “Monferno, Flamethrower.” A screech rang through the air, and a flamethrower spewed from the smoke. As quickly as I could, I rolled to the side, the flames licking at my still bare feet, “Gahh.” ‘What can I do? I don’t have any Pokèmon.’ Before I could think further, another flamethrower shot out, barely missing me, “Damn it, give us the egg!”\n\n\t“I said never!” I shouted, running straight into the smoke and diving. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted the Monferno and its trainer. A tall woman stood over her Pokèmon, her long black hair reaching almost all the way down her back, matching the black clothes she wore. The symbol on the shirt gave it away, a large red R, ‘Team Rocket.’\n\n\tJust as I landed on the ground, a pair of fangs dug into my ankle, looking back I spotted a large Floatzel, “Thatta boy.” Blood leaked from the bite, but I ignored it, only worrying about the Professor, and the egg. Holding the egg close, I reached around in the smoke, my hand wrapping around a pokèball, “Come on out!” I called, pressing the button and releasing the Pokèmon within.\n\n\t“Pi-pika Pikachu!” The small, yellow rat Pokèmon, known as Pikachu stood at my side waiting for a command. Normally it would’ve been easy for me, having studied Pokèmon for so long, but the confusion had gotten hold of my mind, “Pikachu, Iron tail!” All I got in reply was a confused look, “Pi?” \n\n\t“Uh…Ummm…” One of the Rocket grunts called out, “Aqua Jet.” ‘Wrong Pikachu…Oh yeah.’ “Pikachu, Thundershock.” The small Pokèmon closed its eyes, sparks flying from the symbolic red cheeks, “Piiiikkaaaaachuuuuuuu!” It screamed, releasing a surge of electric energy on the Floatzel charging forward. The type difference caused the enemy Pokèmon to be knocked out.\n\n\t“Damn it, Jean, get that brat!” A ping sounded, and a red beam shot into the unconscious Floatzel, drawing it back into its pokèball. “Monferno, Fire Blast!” The ape Pokèmon screeched, releasing a large fireball at me and the Pikachu, “Pikachu, counter with Volt Tackle!” That was one of my favorite moves, I had taught it to this particular Pikachu a few summers back.\n\n\t“Pi..pi…pi-pi-pipipipipi!” It breathed rapidly, charging forward at increasing speed towards the tower of flames. Lightning pulsed from its cheeks, soon surrounding the small Pokèmon as it rushed forth, tearing into the flames, causing them to dissipate. “Chu!” Pikachu grunted, ramming into the Monferno with a small explosion.\n\n\tThe enemy Pokèmon and the Rocket Grunt were slammed into the wall, blood pooling against their clothes, “Shit! Drew, let’s get out of here, that egg ain’t worth it.” As she called her Monferno back, the two Rocket Grunts ran out through the hole, leaving me alone with the egg, and Pikachu. Holding up the ball, I pressed the button, “Return.” The ball pinged, shooting out the small laser and pulling the tiny Pokèmon in.\n\n\tI limped into the Labs, holding the egg close, “Professor? Are you here? Are you ok?” Slowly walking around, I eventually found Rowan unconscious behind a shelf full of pokèballs, ‘Why didn’t they take all these Pokèmon, why were they so interested in the egg?’ I looked down at the fragile egg in curiosity, met with another pang, “What’s so special about you?”\n\n\tMulling that thought over repeatedly, I waited at the professor’s side, hoping he’d wake up and explain everything.  \n\nBrendan Hudson\n\nDamien Helvian\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>\t<br /><br />DISCLAIMER: All characters and properties are copyright their respective owners.
