[Reader's team: Shedinja, Frosmoth*, Orbeetle, Armaldo, Tyrunt, (??) Egg.]

"Hey! Somebody stop that man, he stole my egg!" Y/n's frantic voice yelled as they tried to push their way through the sea of subway passengers, causing a few people cussed them out for bumping into them, but Y/n could hardly hardly care less about other people thought at the moment; seeing as the result of 12 months of their long hard work was being snatched away before their very eyes! One minute they're riding the Subway to Nimbasa city, since they'd been transferred to the new Pokémon research lab.

Everything was going good, they had their ID their bag and most importantly, they had their research project a Pokémon egg. It was a very special egg that contained a bug variant that had long gone extinct from Unova. The egg was kept in it's portable incubator and sitting securely on in their lap and as their train was arriving to their final destination, the Gear station. A man suddenly stood up and snatched the incubator right out of their grasp!

Y/n understandably freaked out! they got up from their seat and started chasing the man down; hurling every obscenity known to man at him and screaming for someone to help them! So far no one seemed to be in a hurry to help the assumed crazy person flailing around and yelling non-sense in the subway station. Then when it seemed all was lost, an arm suddenly jutted out and clotheslined the thief!

He yelped and did an almost cartoonish like flip as he went down and in the process he threw the Incubator! Y/n wanted to scream horror and nearly fainted as they silently watched the egg go airborne and...go splat! but to their utter amazement the incubator was caught by what looked a bug Pokémon's sticky web, It was then they noticed the Galvantula hanging off the ceiling, It gently grabbed the incubator; reminding Y/n of a crane machine as it carefully lowered it into the waiting arms of it's mystery savior.

He was rather tall fellow hw dress all in white with silver hair and matching eyes, Y/n was in tears and nearly collapsed to their knees at they approached the man holding the incubator, before he could say anything the researcher broke down; threw their arms around him and started crying. "Thank you urg...thank you so much!" they sobbed as the man blushed and awkwardly rubbed their back.

While this was happening the thief groaned in pain and tried to sneak away only to freeze up when he saw the menacing look the man in white shot him, the thief shuddered stayed right where he was; cause he had feeling if he tried to runaway things would only get worst for him...

Later when Y/n calmed down the man who introduced himself as Emmet Trevithick, Aka; Subway boss Emmet helped escort Y/n out of the station, after making sure they were alright and thief had been dealt with of course, turns out the thief was some remnant of Team Plasma... and thought he was doing a good deed by "Liberating" Y/n's egg from their evil clutches.

The way Emmet rolled his eyes at the man's confession pretty much told Y/n that this wasn't the first time something like this has happened, but didn't pressed it they were just happy their egg was okay! Then the questions started about their egg. "It's one of those Fairy-types, right?" Emmet guessed by the eggs pink and white shell which had a pearl like gloss to it when held in the light just right, Y/n was impressed he figured that out as Fairy-types weren't well known in Unova. "Your half right it's also bug type." Y/n said while checking and adjusting the incubator's environmental gage, this made Emmet perk up the white clad conductor loved Bug-types!

"Oh! A Fairy-bug, a Sweetiefly?" he asked excitedly Y/n cocked a brow at the Pokémon's incorrect name. "You mean Cutiefly?" They corrected he nodded the researcher shook their head, "No." Now Emmet's curiosity was really peaked as he asked for a hint. "Let's just say, this bug is an extinct variant of a very familiar breed." Y/n said while petting one of Emmet's wayward Joltiks.

Emmet brows scrunched up as he tried think of any other bug fairies...But was drawing blanks. "You see them everyday." was the hint the you gave him, the conductor repeated what the researcher said. "...I see them everyday?" he murmured in a far off tune unfortunately for him, Y/n wasn't able to give him a another hint as their ride finally arrived to picked them, Emmet quickly asked for their contact info so he could call them if he got the answer right.

Later Emmet was at McMimes with Ingo though he barely touched his food. He was still stuck on the Egg conundrum. "A familiar bug... I see them everyday.." kept repeating in his head as he absentmindedly chewed on his drink's straw, Ingo was concerned when noticed his brother hadn't touched his food. "Emmet, what's wrong?" Emmet nearly jumped out of his seat forgetting his older brother was there.

the younger twin nodded at his brother as if asking what's up? "You been spacing out all afternoon, what wrong?" Ingo repeated Emmet was reluctant to say anything at first, as he wanted to solve Y/n's riddle himself but the whole thing was driving him nuts!

So, he told Ingo what happened and the whole guess what's in the Egg game he had going with Y/n. "Bug types You see everyday? Hm." Ingo also looked very stumped at the hint, but then one of Emmet Joltiks skittered across the table causing Ingo to lift his tray so the little spider wouldn't get into his food. "Dang it, Emmet you didn't check your coat fo-..." Suddenly the coin flipped and the answer came rushing to the Twins like a freight train!

"JOLTIK!"

The brothers sat up and shouted at the same time causing everyone in the restaurant to jump from their volume. A few people started choking on their food some threw or dropped their trays from the sudden fright, while others just gawked the twins table in startled silence.

Upon noticing how quiet it suddenly got Emmet and Ingo noticed everyone in the restaurant was looking at them bewildered; they sheepishly muttered out a quick apology then sat back down and went back to their food.

Meanwhile

Y/n was in their new lab observing and recording the Egg's progress; it was now safely nestled in the laboratory's more secure incubator, things seem to be going good for it; despite the excitement from this morning. A quick ultrasound showed that though the embryos {Joltik eggs can carry at least two-three bugs at once) had shifted around bit from this morning's unscheduled flying lesson, they were relatively unharmed and going strong!

...Well, least two were going strong.

The third embryo was always on the smaller side; even by Joltik standards! Y/n was worried it won't be alive when the egg hatches... And if it did survive, They were very doubtful it was going to live long after; which sucked all around.

Y/n sighed and sat down on their sofa, suddenly it felt like their body was made of bricks as they rubbed their temples in exasperation. "Oi.. What a day." they sighed and went to check their phone for any messages. There a few from their friends and family members back home and a voicemail from an unknown number.

The Y/ht cocked a brow as to who it was until Emmet's excited voice met their ears. "It's a Joltik! You made a fairy Joltik!! How? call now!!!" Y/n winced at his volume as they stared at their phone in astonishment, they've never had anyone be this hyped up about one of their bugs before!

Well... Except for their mentor and a few other bug enthusiasts, and believe Y/n, there weren't a lot those out there. People usually humored the researcher with forced smiles or an awkward "Hey...Yeah, that's great." and walk away making it very clear that they weren't interested or were completely grossed out by Y/n's career choice, after some mental coaxing the researcher took a deep breath and pressed call number....
