Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Does someone here have an updated Pokedex?" Another person asked at the table. There were a few murmurs of a affirmation as they all scrambled to get their dex out. Robin herself had an updated pokedex and carefully putting the new born down on the table she reached into her bag and pulled out her own. Clicking it open she pointed it at the small fire bug, at least she thought it was a fire bug, and hit the scan button. The dex seemed to be to be thinking for a moment before a large question mark appeared on the screen. "Are you broken?" Robin muttered, around the table she heard a few more surprised and maybe irritated muttering. Hitting the scan button again she frowned as once again it did not bring up any data. Instead the device gave her a sort of smart alikie answer.

I do not know what it is. Stop scanning it.

"How do you not know what it is!" Robin growled at the device. On the table Zuko looked a little nervous. Everyone was watching him and they all seemed to be a bit mad. "Mine is being a jerk. Anyone else get what it is?" Robin asked pouting as she shoved the red dex into her bag with a huff.

"No mine just keeps giving me a question mark."

"Mine's not working either."

Hmm, no ones seemed to be working. Well that was just great.

"Why don't you take a picture of it and send it to one of the professors?" Ampersand suggested. Was he the only one at the table with any sort of brains here? Looking at the way Ace rolled his eyes he guessed not.

"Oh right great idea!" Robin grinned as she took out her phone and aimed the camera at her new pokemon. "Smile Zuko!" The bug pokemon just looked at her as she snapped the picture. "Aww so cute!" She couldn't help but give him another hug being careful not to stab herself on the horns. Maybe some of her friends would know if she showed them to? Changing her message she attached the picture and hit send all.

Look how cute it is! Anyone know what it is though? The Pokedex is being a jerk. -Robin

"Um, you probably guessed this but um, I just wanted to tell you that I kinda like you." Angelic nervously blurted out almost the moment they had sat down.

Dante probably should have seen it coming. He really should have since he didn't really think he was the dumbest person ever. However he wasn't the most apt at figuring out social cues and so he was kind of taken aback by the girls sudden declaration. It had seemed a bit weird that she was following him around so much and she had helped him for basically nothing. Dante just thought she was being weird though. Biting his bottom like Dante tried his best to think of something to say that wouldn't really hurt her feelings but made it clear he wasn't interested. In typical luck for him though his blurted answer was likely going to make things worse for him.

"Sorry I already am dating someone else." Great. Just great. Dante was so not dating anyone else and had no intention of starting to. " Erm, sorry to lead you on?" Stop talking Dante. Stop digging yourself into a hole.

The blond looked a little disappointed but she gave him a small understanding smile. "I kind of figured. Did Leo get to you first?"

"What."

"You weren't supposed to tell him!" Came the sudden shout of Leo who fell out of the tree above him. "I was going to seduce him out from under you if you said yes!"

Inside Dante wanted to die. This was so embarrassing. His face was a bright red as he watched the two start to argue about who was going to seduce him out from whoever he was dating now.

"So who are you dating hmm? Where are they? I bet I look so much better then them, you should date me instead." They both took turns pestering him with questions. Just when Dante was wondering if he could escape the two if Kenny pulled him underground a loud crack was heard. Looking over at the green and brown egg that Angelic had set down on the bench next to him he noticed that it's shell was smooth and uncracked, like always. If it wasn't that egg hatching then was it? Looking down into his lap he noticed that the egg he just got was hatching. The two others stopped yelling and Kenny floated up through the ground and all five of them watched as Dante's new egg started to hatch.

There was something fierce in the air, the heat of battle was intense as Crenu and Surge raged on, their pokemon engaged in a war over the pride of men. Neither trainer nor pokemon were surprised to see Electabuzz running forwards his icy fist beating rocks apart to get to Pupitar while taking a few to the body, particularly a rather large one in the chest. But the electric type pounded forward still with such determination that even Pupitar had to respect this opponent and even the trainer. Crenu wasn't going to give in either though and wanted victory just as badly as before, even more so now. "Smash him Pupitar with you Brick....Break..." It was at this time that Crenu felt something odd around his body, something of a mental squeeze that seemed to penetrate and even scan the innards of his skull as it surrounded him. But he just frowned and loomed on, the sensation annoying him more than anything. Pipitar however didn't pay any mind to the strange sound in his voice however, as a command was a command and as Electabuzz charged him he charged in return, head first horns glowing with might shooting right for his body. As Pupitar got in close he felt a cold fist plow into his side, the numbing frost taking over and stinging his body in the worst way. He pushed forward though intent on not stopping, but what happened next was unknown to the pokemon as he fainted from the damage. Meanwhile Crenu wasn't sure what happened either, as there was a flash of light before him. Refusing to give whatever it was the satisfaction he didn't look away, and as it faded he saw an oval shaped object falling in front of him, his arm shooting arm shooting out catching it in his palm. Holding out at arms length he looked at what was a pokemon egg, an egg that just appeared out of thin air at that, and looked as though he contemplated dropping the mystery egg or keeping it. He sure as hell didn't trust this thing that just teleported into his space, and was more than sure that it had caused his headache which made him like it even less. But as he held it he felt an odd warmth from the egg that kept him from dropping it. Instead he brought it closer to him and while he didn't hug it or hold it dearly, he held it secure enough that it wouldn't fall. He couldn't stop looking at the egg as he tried to figure out what had happened, but he liked its warmth and at the same time disliked that he liked it.

"Oh its a baby....thing?" Jason said curiously as he looked at the newborn pokemon before him. It was black and red and very very Sharp looking. Everywhere he looked on its body it had blades on it, even right out of the egg it looked deadly. But Jason smiled as he looked at it, it sure was a cute little thing. "Why hello there little one. And who might you be? Heehee, I bet you're a steel type aren't you? Yes you are, such a pretty pokemon." He said gently as he moved his hand over to it, weary of the blades and stroking the smooth part of it's head with his finger. The blade baby cried lightly as he scratched its head then suddenly leaped up hugging him. It didn't mean to he was sure, but as it jumped into his chest its blades dug into his skin, and the boy started to bleed a bit wincing from the hug and especially when it nuzzled him with its head that snorted a large axe like blade. But Jason only made a small sound and didn't freak out, instead just gritted his teeth and smiled. It was just a baby after all, and it wasn't its fault that it was a walking switch blade. As a trainer and more importantly as a researcher it was his duty to embrace all aspects of a pokemon. "Blades from head to toe, you don't even have hands, just blades. You're definitly a fighter. Heehee, ok let's see what you are. He said as he pried it from his body, which hurt like heck, and placed it down. The little pokemon made a light cry and loomed at him sadly for a moment, but he quickly pulled out some food from his bag and put it in a bowl for her. "I don't know what you eat but that's formulated for rocks and steel types, lots of earthy minerals and such so I think its good for you." The sharp pokemon loomed at it wearily, skewering a pellet with its hand blade which extended a bit much to Jasons amusement. After sniffing it it took a bite and seemed ok but it ate slowly so he knew it wasn't totally to its liking. He took out his dex and scanned it now that he had a chance.

"Pawniard, the sharp blade pokemon. It's entire body is comprised of sharp blades, if battling dulled the blades it sharpened them on a stone by the river."

"Cool, says here that you are definitely a steel type but also a dark type. And you're a female, which is obvious since you're such a pretty little thing. Mmm and you know Psycho Cut, way way cool...and an ability I never heard of which is even cooler. But you're from....from Unova? Where's Unova? I didn't even know there was a Sinnoh until a few days ago and now I have an Unova pokemon? Oh man this is getting weird and you're so cool too! My little blades queen of the night, and a deadly beauty to you as well. Let's see I think I'll call you...Nyx. How's that? Fits you well I think." The baby Pawniard munched away as she looked at Jason and and nodded in approval. He grinned looking at her, and it was at this point Atlas chose to wake up moving his large stone coils around as he gathered himself causing Nyx to jump into Jason startled by the rock snake, making him wince as she stabbed him repeatedly. "Ah ch ch ch, note to self, get some thicker clothing....or armor. Heh heh heh heh heh."

"Un zapo? Un zapo bebe? With a kind of funny face too." Carlos said as he looked at the newborn tadpole sitting on the table before them. The little thing looked at him, then at everyone, and feeling overwhelemed with so many people it cried out, the bumps on the side of its head vibrated and started to emit a high pitched sound. "Ah no no, no llores little one!" Carlos said as he swung his guitar and started to play a melody in hopes of calming it down. The tadpole seemed very responsive to the music, and the vibrations changed the sounds it made a little gentler. The pokemon started hopping rhythmically matching the waves it put out, it almost seemed to be talking with Carlos's guitar. "Eh heh heh, mira it sings! I knew this little egg had a rhythm to it. It's eyebrows even look like notas don't they?" He stopped playing and the tadpole stopped hopping, but it smiled as it looked at him no longer making vibrations. He held out his hands and it hopped onto him, its little tail flapping about. "Ah ha ha, mi amigo you like music too no? Asi es, bueno but I do wonder what you are. You're definitly not from around here, even if you did appear on this beach."

"Tympole, the tadpole pokemon. They warn others by vibrating their cheeks and creating a high pitched sound."

"Its a water type, hermano. And it knows Earth Power, wow. It's a male, and has hydration. Also its from a place called Unova, somewhere far away I think. Why don't you have a pokedex Carlos?" His younger sister said snickering. They were all younger, aside from their parents he was the oldest in the room, she the second oldest, their sister a little younger and their cousin was the youngest.

"Ah, gracias Amalia. I had one but it kinda...fell down a mountain a while back. Heh heh, well now we know what you are amigo. I think I'll call you...Ricardo! Yes a very nice name fitting a musician such as yourself no?"

"ah mi hijo that's a cute new friend you have there. Congratulations! Bueno usted venistes para tocar la guitara verdad? While we touch up your musical talents we'll teach this little one to play music to! Todos, a los instrumentos!" And with his fathers word everyone got into position. He took up his trumpet and the younger daughter did as well. Amalia and Carlos readied their guitars while his mother got on her drum and little primo Jose took up the maracas. One after another they started to play in harmony the family smiling as they played their music, and the little Tympole cried eagerly as he hopped around them making his own musical tone that while rough was starting to pick up the rhythm of la familia.

What stood in Dante's lap was a strange blue thing with messy almost matted, though how it was matted when it just came from the egg was a mystery. It was kind of cute actually, not that Dante would ever admit something was cute, he was trying to build a more manly image here! Next to him Angelic squealed at how cute it was while Leo fiddled with his pokedex. Dante just stared down at the blue black thing in his lap and it, seemingly, stared back up at him, Dante couldn't see any eyes on the thing. The two of them stared at each other for a moment before the thing opened it's mouth and revealed a set of wicked sharp looking teeth. Dante raised an eyebrow at it and moved his hands over to try to take it off of his lap and set it on the ground. That proved to be a mistake though as the blue, whatever it was, decided to clamp those teeth down hard on Dante's forearm.

"Ouch! What the hell!" Dante shouted as pain shot up his arm as his shirt started to get stained a dark red as the pokemon started to shake it's head like a Sharpedo when it tried to rip a chunk out of it's prey's flesh.

"Oh my!" Angelic shouted and tried to reach over to take the thing off of Dante. She didn't get very far as the beast let go of Dante's arm and snapped at her. The blond managed to snatch her hand back away from it before she got bit to.

The small angry pokemon in Dante's lap turned back to Dante and started snapping her mouth at him hissing all the while. It was not happy about something. Dante who had hatched a few eggs before had never seen something like this before. It was Kenny though that managed to save him from the fearsome jaws of the newborn. The large ghost type used it's ghostly hands to pick the angry little beast from his trainers lap and help him/her up in the air. He had a feeling that it would run and try to attack people nearby if he let it down on the ground.

"Aha! It's a Deino!" Leo called as his pokedex chimed in an answer of what exactly they are dealing with. The small device read out in it's robotic voice.

"Deino. The Irate pokemon. This small pokemon is a dark dragon type pokemon. Deino cannot see and instead bite and tackle things to understand their surroundings. They are always covered in wounds and will eat anything. Do not approach carelessly."

In Kenny's hands the small pokemon screeched it's four legs kicking and it's mouth snapping at anything close to it. The only reason Kenny wasn't in as much pain as Dante from all the bites was because he was a lot stronger. The ghost pokemon however did feel, and did not like it very much when the small beast started to cough suddenly small blue flames spitting from it's mouth. Before he could move it away the beast had decided to show him it's Dragon Rage.

As Robin waited for her friends, or at least Professor Rowan to respond she occupied herself by taking some table grapes from that had somehow survived the massacre at her table and started to feed them to her new pokemon. "Oh you are so cute! Yes you are!" She cooed at the pokemon. The bug type gave her a serious look, he had already decided he didn't like to be babied, even if he had just hatched. He had discovered though that he did like the grapes and was happy to eat those.

Robin's pokemon gathered around her curious about their new teammate. Luffy couldn't help but think that this pokemon's white fur looked kinda like cotton candy and was drooling a bit and looked at the new pokemon hungrily even if he had just eaten. Ace regarded this pokemon with narrowed eyes, he could tell this was another fire type pokemon, he wasn't quite sure how he felt about that. Black*Star on the other hand did not feel threatened by this pokemon, probably because it wasn't a starter, however he didn't feel impressed by it either. Raz though was happy to see another bug pokemon and buzzed his wings in excitement as he looked down at the young one, he was a little weary of the heat that seemed to be spilling off of it, how could Robin not feel that? Slowpoke just stared at the pokemon with a dopey look on it's face, Robin wasn't quite sure what if that thing the Espeon had supposedly did on it's brain really had worked. As they were looking at Robin's new pokemon her phone did start to ring.

"Hello?" She asked as she accepted the call not really looking to see who was calling her exactly.

"That pokemon picture you sent me. It is real right?" Rowans rough voice greeted her over the phone.

"Oh Zuko! Yeah he is super cute, I don't know what he is though. I think he is a fire bug type. Isn't that weird?" Robin babbled as she watched her new baby crawl into the bowl full of grapes and start to devour the ones she hadn't given him.

Rowan was silent on his end of the phone for a while. "I am not exactly sure what those are. I do have a hunch though, I believe that is a Larvesta. They are the unevolved form of a very rare and very powerful pokemon." He paused and Robin was pretty sure he was rubbing his mustache as he thought. "Where did you get it?"

"A Larvesta? If you know what it might be why isn't it in the pokedex?"

"I said it might be one. The reason it isn't part of the pokedex though is because we know next to nothing about it. I said they were rare and I meant it. Now where did you get it?" He asked again.

"Oh it just appeared in front of me. He hatched like ten minutes ago."

Rowan was quiet on his end for a while before he spoke up again. "I need to make a few phone calls. Pick up the phone when I call again." That was all the gruff professor said before he hung up the phone.
