Yanagi Fuyu, Gym Leader of Mahogany Town, Position 7th in the Gym Leader Circuit, is a man considered to be the cream of the crop of Trainers. He has a loving family consisting of a wife, a son, a daughter and a grandson and another grandchild on the way. Renowned for his upbeat and warm personality, he was loved by many. Yet, he is facing a dilemma. Despite all his skills as a Pokemon Trainer, he is unable to make a decision.
A decision on what gift he should give for his grandchild's 5th Birthday. He is deciding between 2 Pokemon Eggs. One contained an Eevee, a rare and popular Pokemon due to its charm and adaptability.
The other Egg held an Alolan Sandshrew, a rare pokemon limited to Alola. It is incredibly durable due to the Steel Type and powerful offensively due to its dual typing.
He sighed in concern. Thoughts of disappointing his grandson plagued his mind. His grandson had always loved Pokemon, but he was bright, too bright. At the age of 3, he wanted a Pokemon but was denied so due to his young age. But, his wish did not go unanswered as he managed to convince his grandfather to give him one on his 5th Birthday. His responsibility as a Gym Leader, coupled with the lack of quality time with his grandson, caused him not to know his preferences.
While mulling over his thoughts, he failed to notice his wife behind him.
Dear, could you quickly decide on your grandson's gift? We need to greet him as he will be here any minute now.
Okay, I will do so.
A chill went down his spine. Whenever his wife, Yare Fuyu, calls him dear, she is mad despite her tone. His wife silently shuffled away, probably to their compound's entrance. With time running out, he decided to give both Eggs to his grandson. He hastily wrapped the Eggs in cloth and hid them in the living room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A car pulls up into the driveway of the Fuyu Family compound. It is modest, to say the least. Ornaments of Fuyu origin embellished it. It seemed to scream that it was ridden by a Fuyu member. The car's headlights were turned off as the engine died down. Right after, the car door swung open as a young woman stepped out of it.
She is dressed in a modest outfit, but it cannot hide her dominant aura. Underneath this outfit lies a person ruthless to her enemies. But, in front of her parents, she acts like a child.
Grandpa, Grandma, it has been a long time since I have seen you both. Her voice filled with joy as she hugged them tightly.
It has indeed been a long time, Haku. How have you faired in your job? Yare asked.
As they chatted, another car pulled into the driveway. It is ordinary in every sense of the word.
A young child and his mother opened the door.
Grandpa, Grandma, good morning! The child said. His voice was enthusiastic.
Touji. Don't interrupt their conversation. The mother belittled.
A man emerged from the car moments later. He waved his hand to greet his parents and wore a relaxed smile.
Since everyone is here, why don't we go inside? Yanagi offered.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to Touji! Happy Birthday to you!
The Fuyu Family were in the living room and sang Touji a Birthday song in unison in a cheerful tone.
A round of applause was heard as Touji blew out the candles. As Yuki assisted Touji in cutting the cake, the other family members prepared his birthday gifts.
Yuki gave him a Pokemon book.
Shirokuma gave him a scarf.
Haku gave him an Ice Stone.
Yare gave him a necklace decorated with Fuyu ornaments.
With each gift, Touji's smile grew more than before. He practically was grinning from ear to ear. Additionally, he did not forget to shower them with his thanks. As Touji kept his gifts, there was one more remaining. Yanagi was tense as cold sweat dripped down his face. Slowly, Yanagi pulled out the Pokemon Eggs and held them in front of Touji.
Touji, my gift to you is a Pokemon Egg. The one on my left is an Eevee, the other an Alolan Sandshrew. Which one do you want? Don't worry. I will guide you on how to raise them. So, who do you choose?
When Touji's eyes landed on the Eggs, they glittered like stars, as if he struck gold. Even though he wanted both, he could only choose one. His hands held his chin up as he pondered. The action caused Yanagi to shiver in fear.
Yanagi thought that Touji was unsatisfied with his gift making his wife mad.
After minutes of pondering, Touji finally opened his mouth.
I choose,...
