Hard Enough

I toyed with the egg in my arms. I had no idea where it had come from and how it had ended up in my arms. This… I wasn’t sure what to think of this. What had happened?

Had the egg rolled into my hands from somewhere in the cave or had a Togekiss or Togetic decided I’d make a good nest and therefore place to lay its egg.

I stared around the cavern trying to see if said parents were still close by. Memories of how this went down with the cartoon flashed to the front of my mind. It was an extremely iconic and action-filled chapter with lots of developments. Ash and co had encountered the fossil pokemon, then Ash had been abducted with Charmeleon evolving to fight Aerodactyl. Then at the end, Jiggylpuff had come in and put everyone to sleep.

And then.. Ash had woken up with it in his arms.

I weighed the spotty egg. It was precisely like it had appeared in the cartoon, red and blue with small triangular spots and splotches. I had no doubt in my mind that this was Togepi’s egg.

Togepi didn’t have much importance to a lot of the big plot points. One of the things that I did recall, was how it eventually became a defender of the Mirage Kingdom which was supposed to be somewhere in Hoenn.

From what I could remember the whole Kingdom of Mirage situation was very much an evil vizier situation where the man took advantage of Ash and Co’s arrival. Nothing needed to happen as the Princess would eventually get her own Togepi and the issue would resolve itself.

… possibly.

Maybe when Celia made it into the end-of-year tournament I could swing around to the Mirage Kingdom and resolve that issue. If Sabrina came it would be handled in five minutes tops.
