Marlaey was huddled up on one of the red chairs, her arms around her new egg. She was glowing with excitement. She could still hardly believe that this baby would be all hers soon! It was so exciting! She stroked the orange tinged egg, feeling the heat from it and smiling. "You will be loved little one, I promise", she whispered. Harper lay at her feet, content to keep an eye out for Virgil and Scott. Marlaey had invited them to sit with her. She wanted to continue to thank them profusely for her egg and to perhaps learn more about the fox type Pokémon. She was always pleased that they were being friendly with her. She hadn't made any official friends in this region yet and she was quite looking forward to calling Virgil one of them. As she waited she wondered if he had any other Pokémon and if he'd show her. Or maybe he had really good stories to tell?? VULPIX EGG (1/5)

Clouds dappled soft shadows on the ground. The breeze was mild, but just enough so that it caressed Virgil's long snowy white hair as he walked through the outskirts of Verona City and flanked his way back towards the Trainer's Lounge. His golden-green eyes darted from side to side as he eyed the passers by, who seemed enthralled by the man who dressed casually as a Lugia.
He worshipped the legendary Pokemon, believing that it had saved him from scientists who wanted to use his Pokemorph abilities to capture the legendary for study. His birth had signalled the end of a forty day storm. His departure, his escape, had been the introduction for a second, several years later. After that he'd lived with a Clan of Dratini led by a Dragonair – the Pokemon that he was born with the mixed genetic structure of. Sat upon his neck was a crystal which allowed him to pick up alterations in the weather.
He picked his way carefully through the crowd with his Ninetales dutifully striding by his side. Scott looked relaxed, his soft lavender pelt gleaming and scented from the massage he'd given the nine tailed kitsune a while before. He was here to meet a friend called Marlaey, a person who he'd just purchased a Vulpix egg for. However, he'd had to go somewhere to check on his blind travel partner, and secret love interest, Sojun Kuchiki. Now that he had free time the Dragonair Pokemorph was making his way back through to the arranged meeting spot where he assumed Marlaey was waiting for him.
And so she was! Scott, who was a smaller Ninetales than usual, moved into a slow loping run and trotted over towards the seats outside of the battle rooms where she sat, the Vulpix egg nestled securely in her arms. He immediately reached into his bag with his tail and tossed a pokeball, which burst into a field of light to reveal a small Litwick. Ku, having received her orders beforehand, levitated over to Marlaey and perched herself awkwardly on Marlaey's knee. She simply stared out at nothing, eerily, but it seemed as though the warmth radiating from her purple flame was having an effect on the egg. She remained silent, just sitting there, staring out with a bright yellow eye, as Virgil smiled at Marlaey.
“Come, I have reserved one of the battling rooms. It's less crowded and I can let my Pokemon roam privately.” He offered casually, his tail swinging back and forth behind him. Besides, he didn't like the way they were staring at him.

Marlaey smiled when she spotted Virgil coming toward her. It would take her awhile to get used to his odd dress sense as well as his appearance. He was the first Pokemorph she'd ever met! But she quite liked his Lugia outfit, it was very grand and impressive. She noticed that other people were staring at it too and wondered if he minded. She hoped he didn't, it would be horrible if she'd asked him to come here where he's feel uncomfortable. But maybe she was over thinking things again. Harper didn't seem to have a problem with anything at all as he had perked up considerably when Scott approached them. When the Litwick appeared, Harper yipped in surprise. But Marlaey grinned appreciatively. The pretty little thing glided over to her and began to warm the egg. Someone else might have been a little creeped out by the Litwick's stare, but Marlaey didn't mind. The only thing that concerned her was that the pokemon might be uncomfortable perched on her knee! She was just about to suggest the blanket on the chair beside her when Virgil spoke. "You did? Oh alright", Marlaey replied, referring to the battle rooms. She thought maybe it would be fun to show him her own pokemon there too. So together, she, Harper and Kuu followed Virgil into a nearby room and settled down. Marlaey spread out the blanket she had and placed the egg in the centre, bunching up the folds of cloth to make a rudimentary nest. She invited Kuu to share the comfortable looking place and was pleased when the Litwick moved closer, continuing to heat the egg. Looking up at Virgil Marlaey couldn't help thanking him again for his generous gift. Harper sat down near Scott and grinned. He was eager to play with the Ninetales. VULPIX EGG (2/5)

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Satisfied that the Litwick was doing what he'd asked of her, Virgil coiled his tail underneath him and sat down on it, folding his legs into the lotus position. Now he didn't have to observe the crowds outside staring at him like some kind of freak. 'I don't like it when they stare at me in such a manner,' he thought. Truthfully it made him feel more of an outcast. He smiled slightly as Scott shut the door with a careful nudge and approached, nuzzling his arm before sitting down beside him for a moment.
Of course, when he saw Harper perch his rump right beside him, Scott let out a wolfish smile. Virgil mimicked it, satisfied that everyone was safe from harm as the shiny Ninetales then lifted the tip of one of his tails slightly, tickled Harper's back a bit and moved it away again hopefully before the Growlithe could see.
Casually Virgil waved off Marlaey's thanks and shifted, rising slightly to reach into his bag with his tail. It was odd how Virgil walked on his toes much like a wolf did but from swimming, he wasn't used to walking “properly”, should the term exist. The bones in his feet were hardened yet the skin soft. It was also strange how his hands and arms were hidden beneath the long sleeves of the Lugia's suit. There wasn't even a section at the fingers where any part of his hand or arm was even visible.
His was because his arms were thickly clad with dragon scales – those found on a Dragonair's back. As he shifted off of his rear to release his Pokémon out into the room, if Marlaey listened then she could hear countless soft clicks and a chafing sound. It was indicant that his hidden scales were rubbing together and bending to accommodate one another. It was also important that his arms stayed hydrated, because it was painful as hell – as he'd originally found out a few days after coming onto dry land from the clan's ocean home – when his skin became dry, cracked and the scales started to split or fall off.
As Antauri, a Ralts, appeared, Virgil passed him a bottle of water and murmured an instruction to him. Antauri nodded and, lifting the bottle up using his Confusion attack, poured it into the sleeves of Virgil's costume. The sleeves had a latex lining which allowed him to carry the water effectively. It was odd and Marlaey would probably ask why he was putting water in his sleeves, but Virgil would answer so long as she didn't actually ask to see his arms. Because of his long black dragon claws, people often shied away from him, referencing him to a half demon or a freak.
Still, he should introduce his team. “This is Scott,” he indicated to the shiny Ninetales, “John,” he nodded to a Linoone who was currently marking his “territory” in any way possible, “Antauri,” his tail twitched, which the Ralts was hovering slightly over in a meditative trance, “Ku,” he nodded to the Litwick, “And Two,” he said. A Shiny Minun suddenly pounced towards Harper, trying to playfully wrestle him to the ground as Scott tried to paw somewhat lazily at his shoulder.

Marlaey too had crossed her legs, though she couldn't quite manage the lotus position. She ran a hand through her hair and smiled nervously at the Pokemorph. If she was honest, she was more than a little nervous in his company, but it wasn't because she thought he was scary, it was because she wanted him to like her. She wondered briefly if he would even want to be her friend and talk with her. Harper jumped at the tickling sensation running down his back. He snapped his head around, trying to look at his back and ended up spinning right round in a circle, falling backwards on his rump. When he shook himself and looked up he noticed the Ninetales walking smoothly away. He wagged his tail and trotted after him. Marlaey watched curiously as Virgil moved around, using his tail expertly. She was intrigued by his strange outfit and wondered why he covered so much of himself. Her own clothes were light and airy. She always liked to keep her hands free, so she could feel things better, which meant gloves were not to be seen on her very often, even in winter. So the fact that his hands were hidden was a mystery to her. Much of her clothing was coloured like autumn, warm oranges and luxurious browns, with the occasional hint of olive green. She was also quite the tomboy, so skirts and dresses were never an option. How would she be able to climb trees in such outfits?? She tended to choose things that helped her blend in to the natural world, whereas Virgil's clothes stood out, attracting attention. Very different. It was Harper who heard the soft clicking of the Pokemorph's scales, but it didn't bother him overly. His ears twitched in the direction of the sound, but other than that he was happy to follow Scott. When a Ralts appeared and helped Virgil pour water into his sleeves Marlaey was indeed curious once more. A slight frown creased her forehead as she asked, "May I ask why your Ralts is doing that?" She didn't want to appear rude, but she would still like to know. When each of his Pokemon were introduced Marlaey smiled. Two shinys! How lucky! All of his pokemon looked in good health and she said so, nodding and smiling to each in turn. Reaching for her bag she thought maybe she should release her own and show Virgil what she'd caught so far. Harper was cocking his head at the Linoone who was marking his territory, but before he could point out that this was his territory a Minun pounced on him, wrestling him to the ground. Harper yipped and whined happily as he allowed himself to be bowled over by the smaller creature. He felt Scott too pawing at him and he reached up to gently chew on the Ninetale's ear. Once released, Marlaey introduced her team. She pointed to Harper first, "This guy you know already is Harper, that Turtwig is Little Foot, Sentret is named Kismit, Thura is my Rattata and finally Paras is called Mitt", she finished. As they were addressed each pokemon turned around and looked up to the Dragonair Pokemorph. VULPIX EGG (3/5)

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! As he'd expected, Marlaey inquired into what Antauri had been doing. He didn't mind because he had a cover up story for it. Virgil Tracy wasn't one to encourage lying in any form but in some cases it was necessary. In a sense it wasn't lying – he was just purposely leaving out quite a lot of information. The last thing he wanted was someone leaping at him with a handful of pliers shouting he was a walking Dragon Scale machine. He'd be chased all throughout the land and he'd have to go back into hiding probably, if someone was mad enough to try it. Virgil's tail was very strong, agile and flexible, quite easily so to lift someone up off of the ground by the ankles.
“I have a condition on my arms where the skin dries if it's not kept hydrated enough,” he excused himself, placing the water bottle back into his bag. “Being a Dragonair Pokemorph, some parts of my skin is increasingly delicate or fragile, susceptible to injury. I have other limbs that show my genes but I tend not to show them.” 'I wouldn't want to scare people, either. I don't want children running around calling me weird either.'
“It's good to meet you, Little Foot, Mitt, Thura, Kismit,” he said in greeting. He casually repeated the names of his Pokemon just so they knew their names as well. His Pokemon were all already playing with the rest – well, apart from Antauri and John. John was still pacing the ground, making sure that he'd got all of the corners while Antauri was breathing deeply in meditation. The psychic type was so in tune with his own mind that he could sense something was about to happen.
The egg was going to hatch within the next five minutes, he realised. Hidden beneath a helmet his eyes flicked to the egg and he sighed. Virgil observed the playful banter going on between Scott, Two and Harper, but he still felt he should warn Marlaey. “Ninetales are very intelligent,” he said smoothly, “They can understand human speech and they can live up to one thousand human years. According to research they are also capable of mind control and compulsion but Scott has never shown any of these traits, though he recently evolved.”
“However,” Virgil went on, “Ninetales are judgemental – they hold grudges against those who wrong them. If you abuse it or grab it's tails it has been known to curse people, and it may curse you if it is correct. Harper,” Virgil called in warning, “Mind you don't bite into his tails!”

"Oohh", Marlaey whispered, "I didn't mean to pry, but thank you for sharing." The last thing she wanted was to appear rude, but she was glad he had explained it to her. She didn't have any such ailments, regardless of the fact that she was only human. Rashes and allergic reactions never featured much in her life. Probably because from the moment she could walk her father had encouraged her to stay outside, climb trees, jump in rivers, get muddy. It was a very fresh and lively childhood so her body had built up quite an immunity. Marlaey's Pokémon all cheerfully greeted Virgil and his Pokémon. Harper was enjoying himself thoroughly, rolling around with Scott and Two. Kismit flattened her ears back bashfully in such raucous company and scooted over to her trainer and the blanket. There she sat and watched Ku keep the egg warm. She felt safe there, comfortable with the unusual Litwick and the baby egg. Little Foot waddled over to Harper and company, sitting near them to watch their game. She gurgled happily, Mitt. Thura, unlike the others, found the meditating Ralts of most interest. He nervously crawled over to Antauri and sat down, tilted his head curiously. Marlaey listened closely to Virgil's words, taking in everything. She might have a Ninetales of her own one day, so she knew this information would be useful. When she realised there might be a danger to Harper she looked over at the pup, glad that the Pokemorph had warned them. "Did you hear that Harper? Be careful of Scott's tails. And make sure the rest of you are careful too!", she said, looking around at all her Pokémon. Harper twitched his ears in response, having heard the command. All of a sudden Mitt appeared out of nowhere and dive bombed the three of them, happily pinching Harper's nose.

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Scott didn't mind that Virgil had spoken of his species' special abilities, or that they could apparently curse those who touched their tails. His ears perked and he tugged away gently as the Growlithe's mouth clamped around his ear. Saliva oozed into his ear and he released a growling, whining sound from his throat and huffed indignantly.
“That's disgusting,” he complained sombrely, tearing his ear free and attempting to pin the Growlithe down onto the floor where he could- Woah! Suddenly they were dive bombed by a flying Paras! Scott yipped and reared away, forepaws abandoning the ground as he backed towards Antauri. He would have rammed the creature, yet Antauri, still in his meditative state, reached out with a hand.
Scott was lifted up carefully into the air away from him via Telekinesis. The psychic type lowered him back down just as gently has he'd been lifted and went back into his meditation, though he could sense the Rattata that was perched right below him, eyeing him curiously. “Would you like to try meditating?” Asked Antauri to Thura calmly, glancing down at the normal type, his face neutral.
“Virgil," the Ralts continued, but didn't turn to face his friend, "The egg is going to hatch..."

Harper hadn't meant to slobber all over Scott, but he was still just a pup so in his mind it wasn't his fault at all! He was just so excited to have another canine to play with. When Mitt interrupted their playing Harper felt a twinge of jealously that was quickly changed to surprise when Antauri levitated Scott away from him and safely. He shook Mitt off his nose and exclaimed, <Oh wow! That's cool!> Little Foot had backed her head into her shell at the commotion but was now out again, laughing to herself. Thura was in awe of the Ralts before him. After his second display of psychic power Thura nodded profusely when asked if he wanted to meditate. He wasn't able to hover, but he curled his tail around himself and sat very still, closing his eyes, but occasionally peeking at Antauri. Kismit squeaked at the same moment Antauri spoke. The egg had wobbled! Marlaey turned her head to look at the blanket. Ku's flame had kept the egg warm and comfortable and now it was beginning to shake! She rushed over, all of her pokemon following her eagerly (except Thura who was still trying to meditate) to see the new baby.

So much was going on around the egg as it felt the commotion from so many Pokemon! It was so warm, inviting and exciting that the Pokemon couldn't help but emerge with paws kicking at thhe egg in a frenzy. It had a bit of trouble clawing and biting at the shell, but soon a flash of several tails appeared as the Vulpix emerged butt first out of the egg. It comically rolled onto its back on the way out, whimpering from the fall as it stared up at everyone with dazed eyes. Whoa, so many Pokemon in its face! It was a bit much to see for its first few minutes being alive, so it bolted back towards the egg shell in an attempt to hide. Hey, as long as the Vulpix couldn't see, they couldn't see it, right?

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Antauri was right. As he slipped back into a meditative trance, he heard the tell tale, almost sickening crack of egg shell that informed the congregation that the embryo had developed successfully. He hovered in mid air through his own weak confusion and straightened his posture. “Sit up straight,” he instructed Thura slowly, not wanting to break too far out of his own trance. “Focus on your breathing. Don't think of anything at all. Just relax and focus on your breathing. If your mind drifts, correct it – concentrate only on your breathing.”
Virgil turned his head towards the Ralts and smiled to himself. It was interesting how the psychic Pokémon could be so calm and collected all of the time. Even in his battle with Adam the Pokémon had not panicked once, but had followed his instructions to the core without fail or hesitation. Still, unlike Antauri he wasn't trying to meditate. The Dragonair Pokemorph was content to quietly sit and watch the birth take place before him.
As the egg's shell snapped, the sound akin – but not quite - to bone breaking, he looked back to where Scott was approaching. The shiny Ninetales knew very well that this was a Vulpix egg – the egg of his old, former species, before he had evolved. He could remember his own birth and he wondered if this Vulpix, unlike one of his friends' recently hatched Pokemon, would be able to talk. At first, Commander Joseph Mawely's Eevee, which had hatched about a month ago, had not been able to talk. She still couldn't, but it was cute how she would pounce around like the world was her playground.
He found himself purring in amusement as the Vulpix shied away and rushed back into the broken egg. He could just make out patches of fur through the cracks in the damaged object and knew that the chances were that the Vulpix was intimidated by all of the commotion around it. Still, being the evolution of the Vulpix, he couldn't help but feel a strange connection to it, and he padded over to the egg and settled down beside it. “Come on out now, cub,” he said softly, nosing the shell away from the fire type slightly and planting a warming lick on its shoulder – if it hadn't ran away by that point.

Thura nodded, sitting up straighter immediately, wanting to get it right. He tried to clear his mind, and though the commotion in the corner was quite distracting, he refused to budge, determined to show self discipline. His little body quivered with concentration as he focused on his breathing. In and out.. In and out.. Marlaey and the rest of her team were gathered around the egg along with Scott and Ku. She was pleased to have them both closeby, Scott because he was Vulpix's evolutionary form and Ku because she helped incubate the egg. Marlaey noticed that Virgil was content to watch from a little further away. She would bring the baby over to him once it had hatched, so he could see the newborn. But for now she watched closely as cracks raced across the eggs surface. Her heat beat faster in anticipation. Living with her father, a Pokemon Breeder himself, she had seen babies hatch before, but this time felt different. This time it was her baby. Harper had his head in his paws, his eyes fixed on the wriggling egg. Little Foot had trundled over and sat nearby him, with Mitt perched on her shell. Kismit was the closest to the egg originally, but had edged away due to all the attention it was getting. She didn't like being in the spotlight. She went straight to her trainer's side and sat down, holding her tail. Suddenly the shell broke apart and tiny little paws could be seen kicking their way out into the world. There was a moment of scuffling and snapping sounds and then a behind appeared before them. A small, singular white tail greeted the group, the owner of it falling and rolling onto her back, whimpering. Marlaey broke into a wide smile. She was so beautiful! So perfect and.. tiny! Her heart melted when the little thing crept back into her egg, hoping to get out of sight. She appreciated Scott's presence even more when he nosed th cub and licked her back encouraginly. It was something she was sure Harper would do when he got older. For now though he was too young to comprehend what to do in these situations. The little Vulpix was pretty nervous, and her plan to hide in her egg hadn't exactly worked out that well considering the warm wet tongue that rolled across her shoulder. She squeaked and swished her tail, tumbling fowards. Looking around at everyone she whimpered once more. What was she supposed to do? Why were they all looking at her? Her eyes found Harper, he had a nice smell, a comfortingly familiar one. But her nose led her to Scott with a stronger scent. She felt a kinship with him and she didn't know why. Perhaps licking his nose would reveal the answer. And so she did!

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Antauri was actually pleasantly surprised that the Rattata was choosing to join him in meditation. Perhaps it was easier for a Psychic type, who were naturally in tune with their minds, or had to be in order to use their telekinetic abilities. But still, Thura was trying, even listening to his instructions and blocking out the other commotion. While the commotion was distracting the Rattata was still going for it, doing his best. “Relax your mind,” he tuned in softly. If the Rattata was busy trying consciously to follow his breathing, it would distract him. He needed to start consciously and make it go into a natural state of mind.
Virgil felt awe when he saw the little egg hatch. Truthfully one of his eggs had hatched earlier in the middle of a battle with a Pokemon Trainer. It had been a... Surprise, to say the least. It was gnawing at his mind that he was choosing to withhold his newborn from the rest of the group, but was it for the best? He hoped so, though his hope was about to come crashing down.
His bag seemed to stretch. 'Hmm?' he hummed to himself out loud as he turned to face the satchel which housed his items. That was unusual. It wriggled, a loud, obnoxious derping sound coming from within. Even Scott's ears swivelled around at the sound but he didn't take his attention away from the Vulpix, ignoring it for the time being.
Scott nuzzled the Vulpix gently in encouragement, trying to make it feel at ease around the congregation of Pokemon that swarmed her. “I'm Scott,” he rumbled calmly, resting a tail on her back. “Can you speak, cub?”
Then something flew out of the bag with the fury of a thousand farts and released a horribly hilarious roar from it's mouth. It was a Magikarp, and upon the Pokemon's appearance, it managed to accidentally slap Virgil straight across the face with it's tail as it tried to right itself before falling onto it's face. Virgil didn't even move; his eyes remained partially open like before, a small smile on his face which twitched a few times as he stared forward. His face was red from where the tail had struck and he sighed.
'Ignore it,' he thought, 'Just keep the Magikarp away from the Vulpix.' “Antauri,” he said, his voice clearly straining with impatience, “Would you kindly provide Magikarp with some water?”
Antauri, being a Feeling Pokemon, could sense the agitation in the room. The Ralts lifted a hand again and pulled up the floundering fish in a Telekinesis, taking three bottles of water and surrounding it in a form of orb. The water would press against his power every few seconds and he'd have to correct it, which partially pulled him out of his trance.
Virgil rushed off and returned with a fish bowl, placing the Magikarp within it. Two danced around it while the Magikarp suddenly fell quiet, staring dopily ahead. It seemed to settle slightly, but still slapped at the edges of the bowl.
“I could have knocked you out,” she muttered sombrely.
Virgil smiled forcibly. “Yes,” he replied, “You could have...”

The calming voice of the Ralts beside him was very soothing for the young rat. Hearing it he felt as if he really could just melt away into a peaceful state of being. He had never tried meditation before, it had never occurred to him. His life before being caught had always been about running around, constantly searching for food, ever moving. It was nice for once to just relax. More than nice really, but he wasn't meant to be thinking of good descriptive words right now, he was meant to be erasing all thoughts from his mind. He reverted back to doing so, breathing deeply and letting the world go as best he could. Marlaey was relieved that the egg had hatched into a healthy young kit and she couldn't stop smiling. "You're so beautiful little one", she whispered softly. The baby looked up at her, blinked and then yawned widely, showing her rows of tiny needle like teeth. She then looked back to Scott who had just rested one of his tails on her and proceeded to roll over submissively. She gurgled a little happy sound and batted at him. He was so much bigger than her! And so pretty! Was he going to take care of her now? She had heard his question, but didn't seem to be in any rush to speak her first words. She wasn't even sure if she could yet. Time would tell. For now she was content to lavish all of her attention on the once creature in the room who smelled most like her. Later perhaps, she would bond with Harper, but for now, Scott was the most important person there. Kismit practically sky rocketed into the air at the unfamiliar sound of a strange roar and Virgil being slapped across the face. She screeched, running for cover. Marlaey turned around sharply, as did her other Pokémon. Even the baby Vulpix cocked her head and twitched her ears. Thura's brow creased as he fought to hold his new calm state. Such dramatics, typical! Marlaey watched with fascination as Antauri took care of the situation without batting an eyelid. He was the most calm and collected Pokémon she had ever seen. Nothing seemed to faze him! "Is everything alright?", she asked Virgil, "I didn't know you had a Magikarp!" she was quite fond of the fish pokemon, though she knew many people weren't. Her eyes wandered back to the baby Vulpix on the blanket. "You're probably hungry", she said to her, "And I can't keep calling you little one! I think I shall name you Nova." Smiling to herself, Marlaey got up to get some fresh Pokémon food from the next room. When she came back she was carrying another Pokémon egg in her arms. "V-Virgil.. Some woman just.. pushed this into my arms and left. She told me she couldn't keep it! She told me to take it! What am I going to do??"

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Scott was happy to just entertain with the white-tailed Vulpix cub. Though biologically the cub wasn't his daughter, he still felt responsible to it's well being by instinct. Being newborn he was feeling all of the natural feelings a 'father' should have – and he seemed to be getting pretty agitated about the whole gathering. Sure, they were friendly and not intending to harm the cub, but still.
He rolled over as the Vulpix started batting at his muzzle. While he was happy with just letting the fox cub play with him, he was still watching out, his black claws extended and nine tails twitching to ward off any potential players from joining his game. He snapped his jaws gently at her paws and revealed his own set of teeth, growling as he moved his tongue to try and clamp his mouth around her tail.
'Maybe it will take a little while for her to find her voice. Until then I refuse to let her out of my sight.' Thought the Ninetales to himself. He was small for his breed but still strong and able to fight. As the Magikarp at the other end of the room appeared, however, and slapped Virgil over the face with it's tail, he couldn't help but let out a rumble of laughter. While it wasn't necessarily true, Pokemon that looked weak were mocked. Scott didn't enjoy this fact because he'd obviously been the runt of his litter and the target of many jokes, but it was still amusing to see Virgil's patience stretched.
Virgil wasn't impressed. The Magikarp was now attempting to escape the fish bowl using her Extreme Splash attack – which actually constituted as her just making 'HAEUREAURRRR' groans in a silly voice and wriggling from left to right with a stupid grin etched onto her face like no end. “Yes,” Virgil said, trying to take the attention away from the obviously disturbed water type, “I have a Magikarp. She hatched recently. Her name is-” 'HAEUREARRRR' Imouto interrupted loudly, “-Imouto, which stands in-” 'HAEUREARRRR' “-Japanese to mean-” 'HAEURE' “...Little Sister.” 'URRRRR'
Oh god someone shoot this thing now while you still have the chance. “Please, don't let her bother you at all. She's just a little... excited.”
He seemed momentarily relieved when Marlaey exited the room to get some Pokefood. Virgil turned on the Magikarp and said something very quietly, which caused the water type to immediately fall silent once more and smile at him... “Apologetically”.
When she came back, she was holding another egg, which Ku seemed to pick up on. The Litwick mentally sighed and knew what she had to do. Silently she took up her position again while Marlaey conveyed the situation through a stuttering perturbed voice.
“If she did not want it,” he said simply, “It is yours now. Use Ku again and incubate it.”

Nova wriggled with delight as Scott rolled over and nipped at her paws. She kicked out with her back legs experimentally and squeaked when he gently caught her tail. She squirmed around placed her front paws on his nose, letting out a small whuffing sound. So far the world was very enjoyable! But Harper was beginning to feel left out now. He considered himself the new cub's elder brother, not her father, and he wanted to play with her too. But just as if they were in a pack he knew better than to challenge his senior, especially with the warning signs the Ninetales was emitting. He whined a little though, head in his paws, watching the two foxes play without him. It wasn't just Harper who'd noticed Scott's claws and whipping tails, Little Foot and Mitt had both caught on to the fact that the miracle was over and it was now time to leave. They could play with the baby another time. So off they trundled together, back over to where there was still some food left. Kismit was still jumpy and unsure of whether to join them or not, but she spotted the Minun nearby and thought maybe they could keep eachother company. She edged over to the shiny pokemon and tapped her on the shoulder, motioning to the table she'd been hiding under. If they sat on top of it they'd have full view of everything going on. Kismit liked seeing everything, it made her feel safe. "Mine? Do you think that's really alright?" Marlaey asked, apprehensively, before placing the egg in the corner of a chair and wrapping her hoodie around it. She watched as Ku floated silently over to them. She felt guilty for using the little creatures ability again so soon.. "Thank you very much Ku", she said to the Litwick, "I really appreciate your help." She looked up at the Magikarp and smiled. She was quite a pretty fish, if you liked the species that is. "I do like her name a lot."

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Whine...
The sound was faint to his ears but Scott just caught it. His ears twitched and he froze for a moment. Wait, what on earth was he doing? He was playing with the Vulpix cub, sure, but what was he doing?
He was excluding the little Growlithe, that's what. Keeping Harper away from Nova. The whine had been a submissive inclination of that fact, a notion of sadness and abandonment.
And yet while Harper wasn't of their species line, he was quite close. Like the other half of a Vulpix; the exclusive Pokemon that had the same type, rarity, not the same bloodline but they both had hearts.
And right now Scott was feeling quite guilty and selfish. Since when did blood matter, anyway? He and the Vulpix weren't related at all. She was some other kitsune's cub, not his. In that sense most others would simply abandon the newborn or reject it and leave it, but he'd been brought up differently.
While Scott wasn't the normal size for his breed – being smaller than the average Ninetales, he made up for that with a supple, deadly innate grace that swept most off of their feet. Given his slender physique and his strength he didn't doubt that he could easily take down Harper if he dared to offend the cub.
Upsetting him, though, was something that Scott had never intended to do.
Therefore he released a gentle growl and nosed Nova from him, twisting around to lie down on his belly and angle his snout towards Harper. His ears flattened back against his head and he motioned swiftly towards the cub.
“Join us,” he offered smoothly, the previous attitude either suppressed or forgotten altogether.
Two, who was off on her own, twirled around as a paw tapped her back. Head tilting slightly, she nodded and clambered up onto it, reaching down with a paw to help the Sentret up.
Feeling chipper and gleeful because of the joyous occasion, a few tendrils of electricity escaped the sanctuary of her bright green cheeks. She looked quite Christmassy actually, the brilliant colours, and pom poms burst forth from her paws as she clapped them together, assuming Kismit had taken her paw.
“Yay!” She carolled, wiggling her rump excitedly.
Virgil still sat with Antauri hovering contently over his tail. He had remained mostly silent throughout the entire egg hatching and it didn't seem as though he was particularly into talking just at the moment. “If she wants it, she will return. It speaks loudly that she abandoned it to begin with,” he stated simply.
Antauri was simply enjoying Thura's companionship. It was calm, not at all energetic like the others, and sent pleasant shivers of warmth coursing through his spine and abdomen. Ralts were very sensitive to emotion, being able to pick up traces of anger, mirth or sadness.
Imouto blinked in surprise at the compliment. She hadn't expected anyone to compliment her! “You... You think so?” Oh god, she'd be embarrassed if the woman was talking about Ku and not her.

Nova was confused when Scott nosed her away from him, did he not want to play? She blinked and cocked her head to one side, a small yip escaping her. She shook herself a little and pranced towards the Ninetales once more, attempting to growl playfully. Harper pricked up his ears at Scott's words. <Can I?> he asked, <Really?> His tail began to wag vigorously as he sat up and slowly crawled over to the two foxes. He looked to Scott, acknowledging him as his senior and then focused his attention on Nova. She was so tiny! He licked the top of her head, his eyes sparkling with joy. He felt such a warmth for her it was hard to explain. The baby cub looked up at the Growlithe and sniffed at him momentarily. Approving of his presence she rolled over once more, still a bit unsteady on her feet, and invited them both to play. Marlaey was glancing around the room, at all of her pokemon. It was getting a little hard to keep an eye on them! Now that there was a new egg to hatch perhaps she should return some of them. Harper was playing with Nova, so she would leave him be, and Thura was.. well she wasn't exactly sure what he was doing with Antauri! But he seemed to be busy too. The others were merely eating or watching the goings on so they could be returned to rest in their pokeballs. She stood up, clutching the red and white spheres, "Alright, time to take a rest guys", she said as the beams of light enveloped the pokemon. Kismit had only a moment to say goodbye to Two before she disappeard, and Little Foot managed to grab one more bite of food before she did too. Marlaey nodded at Virgil's words, accepting them as the truth. She was just apprehensive that maybe she'd made the wrong decision by accepting the egg in the first place. She smiled broadly at Imouto, looking at the Magikarp again. "I've always wanted a Magikarp of my own."Name: Harper Gender: Male Level: 1.5 Now playing happily with Scott and NovaName: Nova Gender: Female Level: 1 Happy playingName: Thura Gender: Male Level: 5 Pleased he was allowed to continue meditatingMystery Egg (3/5)

Click for Virgil Tracy's Bio in detail! Satisfaction rose in Scott when he saw that Harper was playing with the fox cub. His initial concern that he'd be too rough faded away slightly, but it was still there. Rather than go and play with them both though, he settled down on his side and curled in on himself, planting a few licks on his pale lavender haunch to clean the dust from it.
John, who was pretty much abandoned, stopped planting scent markers throughout the room. It probably stunk now of Linoone but he didn't care much, nor did he bother to keep a silent vigil over the people and Pokemon that were currently within it. Nope, instead he walked over to Virgil and vanished back inside his Pokeball, bored as fuck probably.
Antauri, his mind now cleared from all distractions, and his new meditation partner settled beside him, lost himself in trance. Thura seemed to be doing alright and he couldn't sense any hostile emotions. To be honest he felt warm - all of the positive feelings being conveyed were making him feel relaxed and content.
Two, the shiny Minun, seemed to pout as Kismit was pretty much stolen back into the Pokeball. How rude! Sure Kismit had said goodbye but she hadn't received the "customary glomptackle" that was associated with farewell! It was her own little tradition. Annoyed somewhat, the electric type suddenly shot across the floor, crossing the distance between herself and Marlaey in a few long bounds before she tugged at the trainer's sleeve and squeaked something inaudible. It seemed she wanted Kismit again!
Ku was sat with the egg and Imouto was flopping in her fish bowl, bored but intruiged by the trainer. "Then why don't I come live with you?" Asked Imouto, tilting her head in the small spot. Virgil seemed mildly surprised by the water type's suggestion but didn't question it. In all truth, he thought, she would probably receive better care...

Harper nuzzled at Nova's paws, watching her pounce clumsily around him. She batted at him and yipped softly. He was so pleased to be near her, it made him feel needed. He looked to Scott, who was now curled up. <She's so cute isn't she?> he whispered, grinning. He made to nip her back paw as she wandered away, but instead caught the end of her tail by accident. Nova yelped, fear engulfing her as she tumbled forwards. Harper's ears flattened back and his eyes filled with concern and guilt. <I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt her! I didn't mean to nip her tail!> he whined sadly. Marlaey heard the yelp and Harper's crying so she turned to see what had happened. She was about to get up and go over to them when Two appeared out of nowhere and started chittering at her! Blinking Marlaey looked down at the electric pokemon, confused. As her sleeve was tugged it dawned on her that perhaps she still wanted to play with Kismit. "I'm so sorry Two! I'll let her out again so you can play." Reaching for her pokeball, Marlaey released the shy sentret who stood on her tail for a moment to stretch before scurrying over to her new friend, happy to be out and about again. Marlaey smiled at the pair and noticed the magikarp directing her gaze towards her. She knew that pokemon could speak, but unfortunately she hadn't yet learned how to understand them. She had the feeling however that Imouto was saying something to her and she didn't want to be rude and ignore her. Looking past the calm and meditative Antauri and Thura, to Virgil she asked, "IS she speaking to me? Would you mind translating? I'm very sorry, but I can't understand pokemon.." The disappointment in this fact was evident in her voice. she would work on it though. She definitely would!
