Reggie finds out Monferno evolved into Infernape

Reggie finds out Monferno evolved into Infernape(snippet)

Reggie was sat on his sofa in his living room along with his Bibarel, Swalot

and Staraptor. They had just finished returning Pokémon to their trainers

and feeding the remaining Pokémon under Reggie's care. Reggie enjoyed

being a breeder..( it definitely kept him extremely busy at times).. each day

was different and that's what he also liked about it. He did, however still

enjoy watching battles - this probably stemmed from his time as a

professional Pokémon trainer.. and he especially loved watching his

younger brother Paul battle.. especially against Paul's rival, Ash Ketchum.

He also felt that Ash had been a good influence on his aloof and, at times

cruel brother. Paul had lessened in his strictness toward his Pokémon

lately and Reggie had often pondered whether or not this may have been

Ash's doing.

A few weeks ago, he had seen Paul appear on TV, stating that he had

qualified for the Sinnoh league. Reggie was delighted, of course, but also

hoped that Ash would also qualify so he could watch them battle it out

again. He hoped that the last battle between the two rivals (where Ash was

defeated pretty badly) had not discouraged Ash, and that he was moving

forward towards his goals. He also wondered how Ash's Pokémon were

getting on, especially Monferno. It had evolved from Chimchar during the

battle, and had grown so much in confidence since Ash had taken it under

his wing after Paul had decided to release it due to it not meeting his

expectations(which Reggie felt were unnecessarily high). He hoped it was

still as determined as ever to prove itself to its former trainer. He sipped

tea from a mug he had placed on the table previously and leaned further

backwards to relax.

It was just at that moment he was about to get comfortable that he heard

the door creak open. It was Paul.. followed by Electabuzz.

"Oh hey there Paul.. didn't know you were coming home."

"Hey. I'm just coming here for a few days before the Sinnoh league" Paul

replied abruptly.

"Oh ok " Reggie looked over at his brother.. He looked irritated and

frustrated..something must have happened.. Electabuzz looked somewhat

frustrated too..

He watched as Paul headed to the kitchen and turned to Electabuzz who

sighed..

"Something to do with Ash?"

"Eleboo.." Electabuzz nodded

"Long story then?"

Electabuzz nodded.

Paul walked over with an orange juice in his right hand and placed it on the
