My Little Pony Equestria Journey

Chapter
Two
Egg Troubles

Fluttershy was standing outside with a bag of Pokéfood scattering it onto the ground. Pidgey, Taillow, and other flying type Pokémon had begun gathering around and were pecking at the feed.

As Fluttershy walked through her Pokémon reservation with a clipboard and some other items, she checked on the Pokemon that called her reserve their home.

She smiled as she watched two Nidoran playing together, and other young Pokémon laying around in the sun. She truly did love caring for all sorts of Pokémon.

“I wonder how Mirage is doing?” she asked herself while she finished her mundane evening chores. Fluttershy was tasked with doing this every single day. Once they were complete she walked back to her small cottage.

Sitting in her kitchen after hours of checking everything, she sipped on a cup of jasmine tea. A Buneary jumped onto the table looking slightly irritated as he glanced down at his empty food bowl. Fluttershy nodded. This particular rabbit happened to belong to her, and he was picky when it came to his feeding time.

“Sorry Angel, I just finished here. I’ll get to you right away,” Shy said. She refilled his bowl with food, which he promptly started to chow down on. Standing up, she looked out the kitchen window to see Diamond Mirage running down the path. With a smile, she walked outside with Angel lounging on top of her head.

Diamond Mirage ran down the route till she came to a side path, which led to the world famous Fluttershy Pokémon Reservation. Vlad let out a happy screech as he flew ahead to see his friends.

“Okay Vlad, we can't stay long, remember?” Diamond said smiling, excited to see her mom again. They had an importanr journey ahead after all.

As she kept running as a small hut began to rise up from the horizon. The hut now came into view, as it had a straw roof with flowers scattered around the yard. Diamond felt at peace as she slowed to a walking pace, with her mom now walking from the house with Angel still on her head.

Vlad flew over to Fluttershy and Angel jumped down in excitement and hopped after Vlad to play. Diamond laughed as Angel jumped at Vlad, who flew just out of his reach each time.

“Well dear, did you get what you needed from the Professor?” Shy asked as Diamond walked up to her. She nodded as she showed the Poké-dex to her mom.

Diamond and Shy walked through the front door of their house as Angel and Vlad vanished into the reserve with other Pokémon following them to play. The two ladies sat at the kitchen table.

“Let me get us some coffee.” Shy said as she got back up and stepped over to the sink. Reaching up, she took a kettle off of a shelf above the sink. Filling the kettle with water, she set it on the stove top, and turning the burner on, she sat back down smiling.

“So what do you plan to do now?” Fluttershy asked as Diamond set her bag on the floor yawning. Her sleep schedule had always been off balanced.

“Well I was going to head to the first gym in Cloudsdale.” She replied, her mom's eyes widened in shock.

“You want to battle?” she asked as she sat back with a concerned look on her face. She looked out the window as memories of a baby wrapped in blankets and alone in the forest.

“Dear why not go back to Ponyville to challenge the gym there?” Fluttershy suggested which caught Diamond by surprise.

“There is a gym in Ponyville? I wasn’t aware that town had one.” She asked which caused her mom to giggle a little bit. A loud whistle sounded out, which caused her to get back up to tend to the boiling kettle.

“Yes it's run by Spitfire the former leader of the Wonderbolts.” She answered as Diamond was watching her make two cups of coffee. Setting the cups down she sat back down blowing on the drink to cool it down.

Diamond sipped at her cup when Vlad and Angel came through the open window. Angel jumped onto the table while Vlad landed on Diamonds right shoulder.

“Hey mom do you have any suggestions for a second Pokémon I could find for my team?” She asked as Fluttershy closed her eyes thinking. Her eyes snapped open as she stood up and dashed into the house then returned with a brown and white egg.

“I think this little one will help you out.” She answered as she gave the egg to Mirage smiling. It was brown with a lighter patch around the top.

“What is it?” Diamond asked as Vlad looked at the egg curious. While Shy sat back down smiling this was going to be amazing.

“It's an Eevee egg sweetheart.” She said as Angel jumped over to Diamond picked up her hand and set it on her head, wanting to be pet. Diamond smiled as she rubbed his head then she sat there looking at the Eevee egg.

“What happened to its parents?” She asked confused as to how the egg came to be alone. Most Pokémon parents tended to stay with their egss.

“Well its family is ... I'm sure is in a better place.” Fluttershy said not wanting to go into detail. Seeing this Diamond decided not to push the subject any further.

Her mother was always sensitive over subjects like that. She opened her bag and made room to set the egg, seeing this Shy quickly got up and grabbed an egg capsule.

“Here this will keep the egg safe dear.” Fluttershy said as she took the egg and gently placed it inside After closing the egg capsule she handed it back to Mirage who smiled as she took the capsule back.

“Well Mom I think it's time for me and Vlad to head out,” She said as she stood up from the table. “I will come back after I earn my first badge.” She finished as she drank her cup of coffee finally.

“Okay dear I will make your favorite food as a reward when you come back.” Shy said smiling as she hugged Diamond tight.

“Please be careful sweetie promise me.” She said nervous of letting her daughter go on this journey.

“Don't worry mom I'll be just fine,” Diamond Mirage answered as she hugged Shy back. Pulling away and letting go she saw her daughter off. Angel wa bit sad to see the Zubat go they had just started playing together.

Diamond accompanied by Vlad left the house and headed back to Ponyville for the new trainer’s very first gym battle challenge.
