The bright morning sunlight would shine right through the blinds of the bedroom I was in. I would already be up, getting ready, and taking care of the pokémon egg. Elekid would hop on my shoulder.
"Morning, buddy." I smile, being happy.
Elekid smiles, back.
"Any ideas of what pokemon could hatch from this egg?"
Elekid shakes its head.
I smile. "You hungry?"
He nods.
"Alright." I grab my backpack, and put the egg in the egg case. I head downstairs, where Natalie would already be.
"You're up early." I walk over to her, smiling.
{Natalie} 'Yeah, I came down to watch the sunset..I couldn't sleep..'
"How come?"
{Natalie} 'Too much on my mind..'
"Like?"
{Natalie} 'If my new Ralts will even like me..'
"Hey, you're amazing. Ralts will like you just like Alex, me, and our pokemon do. You just caught Ralts anyway, give it time."
{Natalie} 'But, Nurse Joy said it runs away from its other trainers..'
"Hey, this time's different. I just know you and Ralts were made for each other." I smile.
{Natalie} 'Thanks, I guess I could say the same about you and Elekid.' She chuckles.
I chuckle, too.
{Natalie} 'Darn..the egg hasn't hatched yet..'
"Nope."
{Natalie} 'What do you think is in it?'
"Don't know, but that makes it exciting. Just like opening gifts on Christmas. You don't know what you're going to get until you open the gifts on Christmas, and you never know what you'll get in a pokémon egg."
{Natalie} 'Well, then are you ready to go to the Petalburg Woods and then to Rustboro City?'
"Yes, and I'm ready for my first Gym Battle."
She chuckles.
{Natalie} 'That's good. I think Alex is ready for his match, too.'
Alex would come down eventually.
{Alex} 'There you two are.'
{Natalie} 'Yep, we were waiting for you to come down.'
{Alex} 'Alright.' He looks at the egg.
{Alex} 'When is that going to hatch?'
"I don't know, but it doesn't even look close to hatching."
{Alex} 'Yeah, I hope the little fella is ok..'
I nod, being nervous.
My stomach growls, breaking the awkward silence.
{Alex} 'Oh, guess we should get some breakfast huh?' He chuckles.
{Natalie} 'Yes.'
Soon after breakfast.
{Natalie} 'Alright, who's ready to find some more pokemon?'
"First, Alex.." I'd hesitate a bit.
{Alex} 'Huh?'
"Do you want to have a pokémon battle with me?"
{Alex} 'Of course!' He says, happily.
{Natalie} 'There's a battlefield behind the pokémon center, we can go there.'
We nod, and follow her to the battlefield.
We both take different sides of the field.
{Natalie} 'I'll be the referee then.'
We nod.
{Alex} 'Double battle?'
I nod.
{Natalie} 'Alright, this double battle between Brady and Alex is about to get underway, please bring out your pokémon.'
Alex would sends out Treecko and Whismur.
I look at Elekid, and nod.
"Elekid and Taillow, stand by for battle!" I send them out.
"You may make the first move!"
He nods.
{Alex} 'Gonna regret that! Treecko, use Pound attack! Whismur use Echoed Voice!'
They obey, Treecko charges in, and Whismur releases it's Echoed Voice.
"Taillow, grab Elekid and fly up in the air!"
Taillow nods, grabbing Elekid with its tiny black feet and yellow talons. They avoid Treecko's Pound attack, and Whismur's Echoed Voice.
{Alex} 'Nice move, but not good enough! Treecko, use Absorb one they come down!'
Treecko looks back, nodding.
"Good luck with that! Taillow, let go of Elekid and use Quick Attack! Elekid once Taillow lets you go, kick off of Taillow and use Thunder Punch on Treecko!"
They both nod, Taillow let's go of Elekid. Elekid kicks off of Taillow, and electricity emits from Elekids arm as he falls in midair. Once near Treecko, Elekid releases a quick and fearful Thunder Punch onto Treecko, sending it back. Taillow comes from behind hitting Treecko with a Quick Attack. Treecko hits the ground.
{Alex} 'Woah..'
"Let's wrap this up, Taillow use wing attack on Treecko! Elekid use Thunder Wave on Whismur!"
Taillow charges right at Treecko, its wings would glow white, and Taillow quickly hits Treecko with a fierce Wing Attack.
Treecko would be on the ground, unable to battle.
Alex returns Treecko into its poke ball.
Elekid charges up a Thunder Wave and unleashes it onto Whismur, paralyzing it.
"Now, let's officially wrap this up. Elekid use Thunder Punch!"
{Alex} 'Whismur, dodge it!'
Whismur tried to, but it would be unable to due to the paralysis.
Elekid fiercely delivers the Thunder Punch. Whismur would be unable to battle.
{Natalie} 'Treecko and Whismur are unable to battle! That means the winner of this match is Brady!'
I walk forward towards Alex, holding my hand out to him.
"Thank you for battling us."
He smiles, taking my hand and shaking it.
{Alex} 'You and your pokemon are something else.'
"Speaking of pokemon, are yours ok?"
He nods.
{Alex} 'Yes, they just need to rest.'
Natalie walks over.
{Natalie} 'That was an amazing battle.'
Alex and I smile.
I return Taillow into its pokeball.
"You were amazing Taillow, thank you."
Elekid hops onto my shoulder.
"You were amazing, too, buddy." I smile.
He smiles.
Alex heads into the pokemon center, then comes back out after a while after healing his pokemon, then we all set out heading into Petalburg Woods.
