Chapter 22: Pokemon Care 101 (2)

“Caring for a Pokemon egg requires attention and specific conditions to ensure its well-being, to start with an egg can be kept inside a pokeball but it will result in delaying the hatching of the pokemon. It can be harmful for the baby’s development, due to pokemon perceiving their surroundings while inside their eggs, meaning they are already on a learning stage and keeping them inside will hamper this process”.

“The eggs you have received have been properly taken care of and they were put inside the pokeballs this morning just to hand them over to you, the first step you should take is bringing the egg outside and keeping it by your side as much as possible, interaction with the egg is recommended as it will help the baby familiarize itself with you as its trainer”.

“While it’s impossible to determine how long it will take an egg to hatch, there are phases for you to recognize how close it is, the more movement you feel from the inside the closer it is to hatching. If there is no movement at all, it will take between four to six weeks of interaction, if it moves once a day it’s going to take between three to four weeks, movement less than six times a day means between one to three weeks, if the pokemon egg is moving over six times a day that means it will hatch within the week, and lastly, if you hear sounds from the inside it means one or two days left for its hatching. It’s important you keep the egg close to you to keep track of its movement, there are cases where the egg hatches faster than expected due to the amount of interaction with its trainer”.

“It’s very important to maintain optimal temperature for your pokemon eggs, that’s why incubators are used to keep them in the perfect temperature, you will receive an incubator when leaving this classroom. My recommendation is to put the egg inside the incubator whenever you can’t have it on you, the ideal is for the egg to always remain close to your body”.

“Why is it important to keep close to your body? Humans passively generate a special type of energy from which pokemon benefit, that’s the reason trained pokemon get stronger faster than wild ones, I’m not going to go into details as you will be learning about that in with Instructor Knight, but it’s important for you to understand pokemon eggs attune to your energy by being kept close to your body, helping them hatch faster”.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

“Of course, you also need to take into consideration their species, as every kind of pokemon is different and the proper interaction with their eggs might vary, this is the reason you will find in your pokedex a guide explaining the unique needs of each regional starter available”.

“I hope you all understand the level of responsibility necessary to care for a pokemon egg, but just to make sure you are properly motivated, your whole evaluation for this class will be about your starter pokemon, you get points for hatching it properly and on time to follow along our class schedule, meaning, your starter must’ve hatched within the next four weeks or you won’t be receiving points from me”.

“By the end of the semester, your ranking in this class will be established based on your starters, are they combat ready? Have they grown properly? We will measure every possible piece of data we can get from them and you will be graded accordingly, because pokemon care is one of the most important abilities you must develop as trainers, and our academy prides itself on having some of the best pokemon caretakers amongst our graduates”.

“Is everything I just explained clear?”

I remember receiving Teddy’s egg from my mother, I already went through this stage with him and my experience should be useful for this little guy here. I bring the egg out from its pokeball and hold it close to my body, some of my classmates had already brought out their egg during the presentation.

I hear people asking questions, but I ignore them as I feel the movement from Totodile’s egg, it seems very excited to be in my arms as it reacts to my touch, I think it will hatch in less than a week.

“I’m waiting for you partner”, I whisper.

“I see some of you are already distracted by your starters, please get your incubators from my assistants in the reception before leaving the building, and remember, you can always come to this building and find me in case you have questions about your eggs”, Instructor Joy smiles and bows, “we will see each other next week”.

“Bliss! Blissey!”, shouts her pokemon who walks around us, looking over the eggs in our care.

“Come here Sissy, it’s no longer your responsibility to care for those eggs”, and she leaves the classroom with a hesitant Blissey following behind her, looking back towards us for one last time.
