Welcome to Gaia! ::

Genesis sighed as she firmly pressed her face to the pillow, so so very glad they were out of that temple and back on the ship. Before long, they would be home again, and although their time on the island was but a fraction of the time it had taken for the sea trip itself, she was more than glad to leave it.

Beside her, Erebos rested. Although Genesis had given him all of her remaining berries, he was still tired from the prolonged battles they had faced during the single day they’d spent on the island. He allowed himself to lie down, but otherwise remained as alert as ever, eyes and ears focused on the door to check for any danger that may approach.

It was at this moment that both he and Genesis felt a strange motion and heard a worrisome sound. The former was a slight rocking and, while that was to be expected on a ship, it was too small to have been caused by churning waters below. The latter was the noise of chips and cracks, and it was this that drew both of their attention towards the egg they had been given earlier on the ship.

Genesis moved it onto the pillow quickly and watched eagerly, her eyes shining with curiosity. She had never seen an egg hatch before, and she had wanted to know what would come out of it as soon as she’d seen it. (It looked similar to Erebos, she had to admit – at least when it came to markings – but he wasn’t the affectionate type, and the colors were entirely off. To be frank, she didn’t think it was his egg at all, but she’d accepted when the people in charge of the Daycare claimed it was hers. She wouldn’t give up an opportunity for a free Pokémon when it was literally handed to her, after all.)

Thankfully, she didn’t have to wait long. After a particularly loud crack, a dark, small form tumbled out. It took a moment for her to realize what it was, but then—

“You’re a dad, Ere!” she exclaimed, pleasantly surprised. There was no mistaking the markings on this pooch – it looked just like its father’s.

Excited to show Doyle, she let it adjust to its sudden introduction to the world before scooping it up gently and leaving to go in search of him.

Keria moved closer to some of the trainers that where gathering around chatting. "I think it's going to be a guessing game of what come out of them. My egg looked just like Voltron here." she gestured to the emolga on her shoulder. "It had his markings and colors, but it hatched into this cutie.” She petted the baby pachirisu that was in her arms, being careful not to drop it. “It kind of make me wonder if the eggs where painted or something, I hope they weren’t though, I have no idea what painting would do to the baby."

Voltron looked around the room cautiously if there were any villainous afoot he would take care of them before the harmed the babies!

The newly hatched patchi sniffed curiously as they headed into the daycare she was surprised to see that there were a lot of the things that looked the thing that was carrying her, which according to daddy was a human, there were also a lot of things that didn’t look like anything she’d seen on the way here.

<"Thank you,"> Sentry said. She did smile, but it was small and brief. <"I'm sure whatever qualities a Warden has, you exhibit them as well.">

She of course watched the approaching bird. It looked somewhat ungainly like that, she though to herself. She had not seen bird often, as she stayed mostly inside the temple, but they looked more graceful in the sky. Regardless, he had asked a civil enough question. <"We are guarding the room,"> she informed him. <"Our Trainers are inside, along with some other humans, and we will not allow any harm to come to them.">


Lyle was looking around the room at the various pokemon and eggs people were carrying. It looked like some eggs had hatched already. As he watched, one more hatched in the room. He watched curiously as she shell cracked and the pokemon emerged. "Cool!" he said. "So a lot of eggs are hatching now? I wonder if mine will hatch soon."

As if in answer, the purple egg in his arms wiggled a bit. "Hey, it moved!" he said in surprise. Spinel quickly climbed up only Lyle's shoulder so he could watch the egg closely.

Doyle looked up when Genesis spoke to him. "I have no clue. I've never seen her act like that before." He replied, "I know she doesn't much care for Growlithes or Arcanines but I didn't know that it was this bad..... although I can't imagine if it was this bad that she would hook up with a Growlithe or Arcanine to produce an egg of one."

He looked down at the pup who was staring intently at Erebos. "...... I just don't know. I'll have to see if Ark warms up to her. If not...... if not I'll have to give her to someone or release her." He hadn't checked to make sure the pup was female but something about the pup made him think female instead of male. Of course he'd have to think of a name since he couldn't just call the pup 'her' or 'the pup'.

He felt the pup wiggle and set her down on the ground. She took a few wobbly steps and then stopped before Erebos. She plopped her butt down and just stared up at him.

"I hope not. It would be nice to have another pokemon.... but then again I've never had to deal with a fire type before." Doyle replied with a sigh, "Guess I'll have to ask Alexa for some advice." He looked at Gen's pup and frowned. The poochyena looked just like Erebos in markings at least. "Same here. And we can't really deny that they are theirs. This pup has Ark's eyes and yours looks just like Erebos." He sighed again, "I can't keep calling her pup. She needs a name at least."

Growlithe looked at the Poochyena for a moment interested in the other pup. It looked just like the big guy in front of her however it was a mini version. She would have approached the pup but it was slightly bigger than her and bigger things besides the thing that had held her when she hatched and the thing before her scared her. Naturally she scooted closer to Erebos and kept her ears and tail down.

Seeing Erebos focus on the room and keep an eye and ear open for anything made her copy him. She started off slouched with her ears down trying to listen to things. However none of the noised made sense to her. Her eyes darted around the room taking in the somewhat blurry sights. Things further away were harder to see right now. However she looked up at Erebos and noted his posture and saw she looked nothing like him. So she sat up straighter and tried putting her ears up to look more attentive.

Doyle shook his head. "The smores would be nice. As for the house burning down.... good thing I don't have one." He said. He glanced down when the Poochyena came over to him and would have petted her but she had moved on. "Did you come up with a name for your pup?"

Growlithe didn't notice the glances Erebos had sent her way as she was too busy with Poochyena in her face. She wasn't sure what to do with the slightly bigger pup and backed up some into Erebos. Her ears when down again and she looked up at him for guidance. Seeing none she decided to make like Erebos and ignore the other pup. Her eyes quickly looked somewhere else and she steadily looked there.

"Yeah it would be bad if my camp caught on fire." Doyle said, "So we're both in need of names. Mine has to be a name that starts with the letter 'a'." He didn't explain why it must be an 'A' letter name.

Growlithe tried to back up to Erebos again trying to seek some comfort from him. But he had moved to the side and the other pup had her ear. She whined softly and looked anywhere else but the pup. She was after all following what the big thing was doing. She didn't know why this bigger pup was suddenly making noises at her and biting her ear.
