Remnants 41 - Raise These Kids, 1 2 3 4

Description

We headed west to Opelucid City. The location of the seventh gym.

West of Lacunosa, first, is a pretty little town called Village Bridge, spanning the river. It's a lovely place. The whole town is settled on an enormous, ancient stone bridge. I loved it. I spent some time there, sightseeing and catching Pokemon, and had a lovely time. Then, of course, we had to keep going.

As we were heading west, through the cliff pass, something strange happened. Again.

We passed underneath one cliff, where we were out of sight from the rest of the route. Marco was with me. I was looking around, and then I heard it - a piercing cry like a trumpet blast. I whirled around, and suddenly, a green blur slammed into the road, leaping down from above.

The blur became a Pokemon, and I sucked in a breath. It was Virizion. The second of the three Pokemon of Justice. She looked at me with a piercing gaze, pawing the road like an uneasy Rapidash.

Then she spoke, in a voice like a river.

Tabitha, the time is drawing very close. The dragon has been taken.

I stared at her, dumbfounded, for a few moments. Then I found my voice. "Wait - Wait! What's going on, for real? Why are you telling me these things?"

She stared at me. And then she said firmly, Because you will listen.

Then she dashed away, springing up and over the cliffs as if they were a hillock.

"Gaaahh!" I groaned, slapping my head. "Freaking legendaries...I wish someone would just be straight with me!"

I sighed, and we continued on.

It wasn't much farther than that, that we got to Opelucid. It's an ancient city, with stone buildings carved with intricate designs of dragons and floral designs. It's beautiful. Every time I look around, I see something new. Charlotte loves it, and so does Belle, even though she's not as wild about it. Fang, too. It's a city of dragons. All the dragon things just made me think more about what Virizion and Cobalion had said, though. It unsettled me. It felt like there was something approaching, like a storm, but I couldn't tell what it was or when it would hit. So I was left just doing what I normally did.

Which meant I caught a few more Pokemon, traded them for eggs, and spent the next week in Opelucid training and hatching them.

The first to hatch was another Deino. A boy. I wondered if he was a brother to Belle and Charlotte, but they said no - he smelled too differently. Still, the two girls adore him. He's like a cute little nephew to them. I named him Gemini, Gem for short, and he's Quirky nature, likes to run. Energetic little guy.

The second to hatch made Golden and Gilda very happy. It was a little boy Emolga. I decided to give him to the two of them to raise, and they are delighted to have a son. The little one kept spinning his tail around when he wriggled about, so they decided to name him Copter. He's their little bundle of joy, and the two of them are great parents. His moveset is a bit much, but nothing they can't handle. He hatched knowing Thundershock, Shock Wave, Volt Switch and Acrobatics. He's Jolly nature, often lost in thought, and he loves his parents very much.

Third to hatch was a surprise - a baby Sigilyph. No one immediately took him under their wing, but that's okay. He's a quiet sort. Mild nature, likes to fight. I named him Rune. He has a great moveset - Psywave, Tailwind, Whirlwind and Psybeam. Plus his ability is Magic Guard, which could be very useful. I think, if I add another one to my main team, it'd probably be Rune. He likes being at the ranch, though, and especially after I hatched the last egg.

The last one hatched while I was walking around Opelucid. It was right by the entrance to the dragon gym that the egg started to shake. So when it hatched, I immediately named the little boy Draco. Even though he's a shy, Bashful Pidgey. Draco's gentle-hearted and easily confused. Clumsy, even. He has a terrible time trying to control his attacks, even from the moment he hatched. Like Fang, he was born flying, since he knew Fly. He also knew powerful attacks like Air Slash and Brave Bird. The last one is the hardest for him, since if he flies too fast, he starts to glow and then fires around like a comet, usually hurting himself.

Rune adopted him as his brother. Even though he doesn't talk. Draco doesn't talk much either. But Rune's Psychic abilities help Draco keep himself under control, and that's good. The two of them are very close on the ranch. Copter, who lives at the ranch too for now, with his parents spending every spare minute with him, took a shine to Gem. So he and Gem romp around the ranch as well. Brandon says that it's a wild bunch he's saddled with, but he enjoys it.

"I haven't been this happy in a long time." He told me with a smile.

It's amazing. I've hatched 28 Pokemon. And look at how much they've grown. Gilda's a mom, Sonata's in love, Fang, Leon, Belle and Charlotte are all together, in their weird sort of way. All my team are fully evolved, strong, and undefeated. It's amazing.

I'm going to make sure to keep them all safe.

(Okay, FINALLY I'm all caught up, so I can actually continue in the game and train a bit and challenge the gym and all that. XD Fyi, the encounters with Cobalion and Virizion, the recent ones, were both the battles against them. Marco took them both out with Heat Wave. XD

Ah, fun stuff. Cute babies. All that.)

I never thought Sigilyph could be cute, but Rune is adorable. They all are.
