Chapter 30 - Great Idea

📓 Evan's Journal

Month 1, Day 29

Location: Hau'oli City

Time: 05:00 PM

Alright, time to recap everything—because apparently, I can't keep my thoughts straight without scribbling them down.

So, here's what's up: I got another gift from that mysterious presence—the same one who handed me my Z-Ring. This time? A Pokémon egg. Just like when I found Thorn, this egg has that same green aura. Unless I've messed up my aura readings again, that means it's another Bug-type.

Which... makes sense. At this point, I might as well open a Bug-type daycare.

Hmm?

That's a great idea.

I won't know exactly what it is until it hatches. Until then, it's Schrödinger's Larva.

Anyway, because my "word count is limited" (and let's be honest, so is my maturity, according to a certain author), I'm going to dump everything I know about my team before I forget.

I've got three Pokémon now: Thorn, Trixie, and Grip. My little squad of chaos.

Thorn – Alolan Beedrill ♂

Level: 17

Potential: Dark Blue

Type: Bug / Dark

Ability: Sniper

Moveset:

Poison Jab – Sharp, deadly, and always a crowd-clearer.

Pursuit – For anyone trying to run. Spoiler: they don't get far.

Bug Bite – Berries beware.

Focus Energy – He sharpens his mind before a fight. Drama bug.

Electric Flow (S) – Charges electricity through his body to boost speed.

Surge Sting (S) – Channels lightning to his limbs for a powerful jab.

Toxic Spikes – From his Weedle days. Still drops venom like a pro.

Electro Web – He's quick, and this makes enemies slow.

Poison Web (S) – Our custom move. Laced in venom, sticky, and lowers the target's Defence over time.

Personality: Calm, serious, and sharp as his stingers. Like a caffeinated bodyguard with wings.

Trixie – Alolan Butterfree ♀

Level: 15

Potential: Light Blue

Type: Bug / Fairy

Ability: Shield Dust

Moveset:

Fairy Wind – Sparkles with intent. Like a glittery slap.

Draining Kiss – She steals energy... with style.

Stun Spore – Paralysis with pizzazz.

Silver Wind – A mix of fairy glimmer and bug force.

Electro Web – Elegant AND tactical.

Freeze Web (Custom) – Our invention! Spreads a cold barrier that slows and eventually traps the opponent.

Electric Flow (S) – Charges her movement with lightning-speed grace.

Personality: Cute, deadly, and somehow always knows when I've had too much sugar. She's sass wrapped in sparkles.

Grip – Grubbin ♂

Level: 15

Potential: Blue

Type: Bug

Ability: Battery – Boosts his allies' Special Attacks.

Moveset:

Vice Grip – Clamps down like his life depends on it.

Mud-Slap – Messy but effective.

Bug Bite – Favourite snack: enemy-held berries.

String Shot – Slows opponents and tangles them good.

Electric Flow (S) – Charges up for increased speed.

Volt Tackle – We don't talk about how he figured this out(Well, maybe in some chapters ahead). It's terrifying.

Personality: Little gremlin with boundless energy. He's either climbing on my shoulder or chewing my shoelaces.

🥚 Mystery Egg

White shell. Glowing green aura. Unknown species.

Could be adorable. It could be horrifying. Probably both.

But one thing's for sure: I'm a parent now.

Also—note to self:

"Hey, Evan!" Professor Kukui called, his usual grin stretching from ear to ear.

"Yeah, Prof?" I said, still wiping down Thorn's stingers. (Yes, I polish them. Don't judge me.)

"Tomorrow's the big day, brah! I'm taking you to meet the island's Kahuna. You crushed your first island trial—it's time you got your next Z-Crystal!"

"Thank you, Professor"

--------------------------A/N--------------------------------------

So yeah. New Z-Crystal incoming. A mystery egg is about to hatch. And three bug types that might accidentally electrocute me in my sleep.

What could possibly go wrong?
