He returned to his favorite spot in the jungle and sprawled out in his favorite sunbeam. For a brief moment all was right with the world. Too right. Manish cracked an eye open when he realized that he hadn’t heard a peep out of June lately. While she wasn’t one of the more talkative pokemon he had, she did usually pester him occasionally. Her silence was worrying. Manish sat up and looked around only to find June sitting nearby staring at the egg Manish had haphazardly sat on the ground near him. “Uh, what’s uh, what’s up, June?” <Why did you leave this out like this?> She shot him a glare and Manish’s eyes widened in fear. “I don’t, uh, what uh, what do you mean? Isn’t it just, um, well, it’s just an egg, right? I mean, I was gonna uh, well to be honest I was probably going to track down um, Bunya? And see if she, uh, well, um, see if she wanted to eat…it?” <Manish!> June screeched. Manish flinched back in surprise and knocked his fishing rod over. “What? What did I do?” <You can’t eat the egg! How could you dare to think that? I thought I raised you better than that!> June continued to scold. “Raised me? But you didn’t…I didn’t? What? No, I mean, it’s like the filet thing, right? Did a thing, got a weird food item, feed it to Bunya? That’s like the whole thing, right? Right?” June took a deep breath to realize that Manish really was just that foolish. <No, Manish, my dear sweet child. That’s a pokemon egg. There’s a pokemon inside of that.> Manish froze, his eyes slowly drifted towards the egg. “You mean I, you mean that. Wait, that’s…what? Wait. So you mean, are all pokemon not mammals? Are you not a mammal? But you’re a weird blue dog!” June sighed, <No dear, pokemon come from eggs. You have to keep it close and someday it will hatch into a pokemon.> “Oh. Oh my geeze I almost fed Bunya another pokemon! Wait. Oh geeze I’ve fed her pokemon before. Oh no. On geeze…I really don't think that's actually ethical. Oh no. Oh my professor is going to hate when I ask him about this.”

That wasn’t how these encounters were supposed to go. The Magikarp pulled harder. Still nothing. Feeling a little peeved at the lack of attention, the Magikarp flopped itself up onto the shore. As it breached the surface and slapped loudly on the ground it was greeted with the sight of a trainer hyperventilating, a Glaceon trying to comfort said trainer, and an egg sadly laying on its side. The Magikarp gave a confused Splash. <Manish, dear, oh my sweet, it’s alright. These things happen. And look! There’s a fish for you to fight! That’s good, right? You like catching those!> “Oh my geeze, oh man, what if Bunya was eating all the fish I caught? I mean, I know I gave them to Ms. Bethany, but what happens to them after that? Have I been feeding sentient creatures to a cat person?” Manish wheezed. <Oh dear. Okay, how about this. We panic later, and focus on catching this Magikarp now, hm?> June realized that her words weren’t doing much and decided to change tactics. <Look, now that you know, you will protect the egg, right, dear?> Manish took a raspy breath and looked up. “Protect it?” <Yes! It’s up to you to take care of the egg now! Do you think you can do that by stopping this mean Magikarp from hurting the egg?> The Magikarp took a moment to be offended. It wasn’t planning on actually attacking the egg, that would be rude. “It was? It is? No! That’s...no! That’s my egg!” Manish scampered over to the egg and wrapped his arms around it, pulling it close to his body. “June! Use Icy Wind!” June wasn’t expecting quite that result and was now mildly worried that Manish had overcorrected in his care for the egg. But at least he wasn’t panicking anymore. She turned on the Magikarp and gave a shrug at the fish before summoning up the move.

In response, the fish shot bubbles right at June, who was still reeling from Manish’s sudden parental instincts and didn’t move out of the way fast enough. Manish stood up, still holding the egg to his chest. “Now June, use Take Down!” June cocked her head at Manish. <Take Down? That’s not really my…> “Do it before it can hurt Egg!” Manish dramatically pointed at the Magikarp June was really starting to regret her choices but gave into Manish’s demands and charged at the fish.

But apparently Manish wasn’t done yet. Actually looking like a real trainer for once, Manish stood tall and proud, rattling off moves that he would normally have to look up before asking nicely if June would do them. “You have it on the ropes, now use Swift!” June jumped backwards a few feet and fired off the attack. She was still reeling slightly from the Take Down and wasn’t sure that she was actually going to land this one.

June let out a sigh and turned to Manish, but he was already crouched back on the ground and cooing at the egg. <Manish? Dear? The fight is over, would you like to catch this Magikarp?> “You’re such a good egg, aren’t you? Yes you are! I’m going to take such good care of you to make up for giving you to you know who and letting her do you know what.” <Darling? The Magikarp?> Manish finally glanced up from Egg to see that yes, actually, the fight was truly over. “Oh. Uh, yeah I um, I guess I’ll catch it.” Manish carefully maneuvered Egg to one arm and fumbled around in his pockets till he found an empty pokeball and touched it to the Magikarp.
