An egg. A simple, plain, nothing out of the ordinary egg and it was causing Solan an endless string of trouble.

If it were a regular egg, he'd crack it, fry it, and eat it for breakfast. This, however, was not a regular egg. It was, in fact, a pokemon egg and Solan had not the slightest clue on how to take care of one. Oh, he could ask Keldan because that old man somehow knew to do everything that Solan could not... but the thought of asking him for help just send little shivers up the sableye's spine and hammered nails into his thievish pride.

So, here he was, hovering over the thing like it would bite him if he even so twitched wrong. He had covered it in blankets, of course, to keep it warm. Solan might not have known much in the ways of raising, but he wasn't bottom-line incompetent.

...he'd like to believe so anyway.

It'd been easier if it were a regular egg given to me,” he muttered, sending the thing a side-eye so fierce that Keldan surely would have hit him upside his head. “But I suppose since you're mine now, I've got to do something to make sure you see daylight.”

What that was, exactly, he had yet to figure out.

You pokemon eggs don't eat anything, right?” He asked, though only silence answered. Moments passed before his mouth fell into a frown. “Right. I, ah, suppose not. Not like you have a mouth anyway... uh...”

He crouched and squinted from under his hood, “Eggbert?” His mouth pulled back into a grimace at the word, “Did I really suggest that for a name? Wow.”

The egg, throughout all of this, remained silent.

Eggmona? Eggard? Eggwina?”

The frown on his face deepened. Now he was disappointing himself. Lovely.

Maybe I should just save the naming until after you hatch,” he muttered, resting his arms upon his knees. He tilted his head, his lips pursed together in thought as he gave the egg a long stare.

It once more remained silent.

Alright,” he relinquished, dragging a hand down his face. “Alright. I'll save the names until I see what you are. I guess.”

The egg shook once in response. Solan nodded, deciding to take the action as an agreement. It was much better than nothing, after all, and he would take what he could get.

For now though, I shall call you Egg. You understand.”

The egg said nothing. It did not need to. Solan understood all the same.

He grinned.



For the April 2k15 event where everyone gets a mystery egg.

Solan's got no idea how to raise a pokemon, but you can betcha that he'd teach the rascal to help him steal things and cause mayhem wherever it goes. 

What will Egg be? I suppose we'll have to wait to find out. w h y |D;
