Pokémon The Champion Above Champions

Chapter 2

A mere five months had passed since Zenith's birthday, not a lot had changed over those five months. Well one month ago Zenith's parents had gone on a trip, Rufus had to go on a business trip and Cristina just happened to tag along.

Zenith didn't really want to go with them as he needed to take care of the two eggs, but he opted to stay at his great grandmother's until his mother and father returned from their trip.

He didn't know how long they were going to be absent for, but he wasn't the least bit worried because he had to take care of the two eggs.

His parents and even his great grandmother noticed that he had even picked up the habit of reading, something he usually wasn't the biggest fan of. He had taken on the job of reading Pokémon books, like how to take care of Pokémon eggs.

The purpose of him taking up reading was to take better care of the eggs. He wasn't particularly sure what kind of Pokémon were inside the eggs, and if he was being honest, he didn't really care about what kind they were.

They were Pokémon. He would have his own Pokémon. He didn't want others to get the wrong idea, it's not that he didn't consider Hydreigon and Emolga as friends or family, but again they weren't his Pokémon, they were his mom's.

It wasn't the same as having his own Pokémon.

At the current moment, he was in a spare room in his great grandmother's house. It was close to seven o'clock, Zenith was sleeping soundly, both of the eggs were in his embrace, but he didn't hug to the point that it would cause harm.

It seemed like a peaceful night until a sound was heard.

Crack!

The sudden noise woke the boy from his slumber, "Huh?" He opened one of his eyes, still feeling very sleepy. His single eye looked down and saw that the brown egg had a small crack on it. It took a moment for him to realize what he was looking at, "Oh, no!" He instantly thought he had accidently cracked the egg because he was hugging them.

He was quick to get up from his bed, holding both eggs in his hands even though they were almost the size of him. He had to kick open the door and rush down to the laboratory, luckily his great grandmother was still up and working on something.

Of course once she saw her great grandson running towards her now when she thought he was asleep she looked at him in confusion. "Zenith, what is the matter, you should be asleep." Carolina spoke to him gently, as she could see he was looking distressed, which was something that didn't happen very often, so she was very concerned about what was causing her great grandson to look so upset.

"I... cracked one of the eggs!" Zenith said, now he had tears welling in his eyes, this would look like a very cute scene since it was rare to see Zenith cry but Carolina knew that he was upset.

Carolina looked at the eggs, noticing the crack on the brown egg, she instantly knew what was happening. She knew that it was nearing the time for the eggs to hatch, but she didn't think it would happen today.

"Quick put it in the incubator over there." Zenith quickly did as he was told and went to put not only the brown egg but the dark egg inside the incubator next to it. Carolina scanned the brown egg first with a scanner, the result of said scan was data popping up in her computer as she began to read it.

"Is it okay? Is there something wrong?" Zenith asked, looking up at his great grandmother with a considerable amount of anticipation.

"No, no, Zenith, there is nothing wrong. You didn't hurt the egg, it's just time for it to hatch." Carolina said, smiling down at him, and the moment he heard her words, his tears instantly went away, and his eyes widened.
