1.Ash's Story (Part 2: Johto)

Chapter 12

As we continue our journey, we find a Kimono Girl, who says, "Kimono Girl, Kimono Girl, lost and all alone. Poor girl lost in the dark Ilex Forest."

"Hey, did we meet in Violet City before?" I ask the girl, who says, "What? You remember me from Violet City? You must be imagining."

"Really?" We are confused, but we realize that the two of them might have the same costume and make-up, but they might be different people.

"Anyway, will you show me how to get out of this forest?" The Kimono girl asks.

"We will." Lillie says.

"Aren't you lost in the forest as well? How do you know the way to get out of here?" The Kimono girl asks.

"We have our ways." I say as Pikachu jumps down from my shoulder to lead the way. After finding the exit, the girl leaves and bids farewell to us.

One night, when we are sleeping, Ethan accidentally places the Togepi egg outside, and it is stolen by a Gligar, the other 4 Pokemon notice it and they chase after the egg, and eventually, the egg hatches into Togepi and use Metronome to defeat the Gligar.

The next morning, when we woke up, we were surprised to see two Togepi. Reisa says, "It seems like your egg has hatched."

Kris says, "Yeah, we should call Professor Elm for the good news."

When we call him, he asks to see what the Togepi can do, but much to our surprise, Ethan's Togepi is searching through his backpack to find a set of poker cards and play with them.

"Is he seriously playing poker cards?" East asks. "I mean... we do play those before sleeping..."

"A hatched Pokemon who knows how to play poker cards... this sure is something I've never heard of..." Professor Elm says. "So where are you guys right now?"

"We're at Route 34." I say.

"If that's the case, there should be a Day Care nearby. The couple working there must know about Togepi's secrets." Elm suggests.

After we ended the call, we headed to the Day Care and we gasped to see a lot of small Pokemon around us.

"Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Smoochum, Elekid, and Magby?" We are surprised to see the six little ones, but then we notice an elderly woman needs help.

"Can you help me catch them... my leg was hurt..." She asks.

We decided to help capture the six baby Pokemon. After getting them back, the Day Care Man says, "Good thing for us, eh, sweetie? If these lads hadn't come around, we'd have lost them all! The fence broke down, and they were running all over. We're glad you were passing by!"

"But those things sure are fast." Kris says.

"Professor Elm told us you'd be coming." The Day Care Lady says. "We hear you hatched the egg we found, eh? Elm thought maybe we'd be able to figure something out if we saw the critter, but... well... we were taking care of two Pokemon... don't even know what they were. Suddenly, they were gone... and there was an egg."

"That probably is Togetic or Togekiss, I mean, they are the only ones who can lay the Togepi egg." Lillie says.

"We keep watching to see if anyone else lays one, but no luck..." The Day Care Man says. "But if you want to leave any Pokemon here, feel free to do it. Sometimes the Pokemon here will lay eggs for you to hatch."

"That sure is nice." Then the Day Care Lady decides to show us all the Pokemon around here, and there are some strong ones who we can actually battle. While Ethan and the others are battling, I decide to look at the baby Pokemon that we caught.
