Chapter 2: The Hatched Egg
#2 of Friendly Trust
The Egg that DJ had found in the forest hatches, but what will hatch out of it?
It had been 4 days since DJ had brought home the mysterious pokemon egg. Every day before and after work, he would check up and clean the egg. For some time he had heard small noises that came from the egg, however when taken to the PokeCenter, the egg never made a sound.
On the 5th day was when DJ's life would soon change forever
"DJ!" yelled his father,"Me and your mother are going out for a little vacation for the next 2 days. Until we back, you're going to be all by yourself in charge of the house."
"Take care honey!" yelled his mom.
"Alright you too have fun, don't worry I'll be fine." DJ said as they walked out the door to the house. "I had better clean the egg before it gets dusty in that room."
DJ then ran as fast as he could up the stairs and into his room without a care in the world. Dj thought something was off when he saw the PokeEgg was not in the soft pillow where he had put it earlier, instead it was on the complete other side of the room on its side. "Is there an intruder in the house?" DJ thought, but after a quick run through of the house, he found nothing. He picked up the PokeEgg to find out that it was an empty shell with a hole in the side it was on. "My PokeEgg hatched!" DJ yelled with excitement. "Wait then where is the Pokemon at, I looked everywhere in the house except....my parents bedroom!" DJ hardly ever went in there due to him giving them "privacy", however with them gone he was free to check if the Pokemon was in there.
DJ cautiously opened the door to check if he could see anything right away. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the closet door had moved slightly.
"Gotcha." DJ thought.
He slowly tip-toed his way to the closet to make sure that whatever was inside wouldn't hear him. When he got to the closet he pulled it open and saw his pokemon.
"A Riolu!" DJ exclaimed
Sitting on the floor of his parents closet was a little red and black Riolu with sparkly red eyes looking up at him.
"Ri Riolu?" said the Riolu. He had just awakened from a big sleep and had been enveloped by darkness, so when he saw this giant person open his hiding place, he had been scared out of his mind.
"Riolu!" cried the little pokemon as tears started to form in his eyes and streamed down his face.
"Oh no." DJ said as he picked up the Riolu and cradled it like a baby. "Don't cry little guy, nobody is here to hurt you." he said as he gently rocked the Riolu.
"Rio rio riol riolu!" he cried in a rapid pace, crying for his mother, but in Poketalk it sounded like he was saying his name over and over.
"What's wrong little guy?" DJ knew he couldn't understand the Pokemon. "The translator!" DJ thought to himself. He gently put the crying Pokemon down on the floor and ran downstairs to the living room.
2 days ago, DJ's dad had gone to the nearest PokeCenter and bought him a PokeTranslator to allow him to talk with his first Pokemon.
After he had grabbed the device, DJ ran back up the stairs to apply the device correctly to the Riolu.
"I really hope this works. Riolu can you hear, what's the matter?" DJ said to the Pokemon.
"Mommy mommy where are you!" cried Riolu as he continued to cry his eyes out.
"It's ok Riolu don't cry. I'm not going to hurt you or anything like that." DJ said, "I don't know where your mother is, but if you trust me enough I will try to help you find her."Still trying to comfort the Riolu.
"Y-you'll help me?" asked the Riolu.
"Of course I'll help you, but first things first, my name is DJ what's yours?"
"I don't know my name, my mommy was supposed to give me one." Riolu stated as tears started to form in his eyes again.
DJ gently picked the Riolu up again and tried to comfort it more, "Oh please don't cry little guy. Tell you what, how about I name you until we get you back to your mother?"
Trying to calm down a little the Pokemon nodded his head and put his head against the human's chest.
"Alright, now we just need to figure out a good name for you, I have some names in mind but I have no idea which one to give you."
After writing out some names for the Riolu to see, the Riolu stopped him at one name in particular.
"How about this one it sounds interesting, Rion?" Riolu asked him.
"Alright, Rion it is then." DJ stated then gave a high five to the newly named Pokemon.
Neither DJ or Rion knew it yet but this was the start of an incredible adventure for the two of them.
