[Wait what]

It will think I'm its mom...?

[competition]

... It depends on the Pokemon, but there's a big chance. [ you're gonna be a mommy, Hibiki. ]

[saving_sound]

[But she's already a mom!!]

Is it... okay for it to think that? I mean, I'm not a Pokémon-!

[competition]

[ YOU MUST ENTER MOTHERHOOD ONCE MORE-- ]

I think it'll eventually realize that you aren't... [ He thinks. ] It isn't too different.

[saving_sound]

[She will be the best 10 year old mama]

S-so then... did your Pokémon also think you were their mother, Red-san?

[competition]

[ no hibiki no ]

No... Not that many people get them as eggs. [ And Pikachu was a huge tsundere back then anyway. Rebellious child if that were the case. ]

[saving_sound]

Ah... then how do you normally get them...?

[competition]

... You catch them in the wild. [ This sounds bad, doesn't it. ]

[saving_sound]

C... Catch?

[competition]

With Pokeballs. [ Really bad... ]

[saving_sound]

Do you have to bait them, or...?

[competition]

You battle them, then catch them. [ GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL. ]

[saving_sound]

S-so... you fight with them?

[So intense...]

[competition]

It's to show that you are as strong as them to be their friend. [ HARDCORE WORLD OF POKEMON-- ]

[saving_sound]

[Super hardcore.]

M-maybe it's best that I got it as an egg. I'm not sure I could do that...

[competition]

I think you could... [ He has so much faith in you, Hibiki. ]

[saving_sound]

But fighting is a little...

[...Mean......]

[competition]

It's not that type of fighting. [ This is the good type!

Weird. ]

[saving_sound]

...There's different kinds?

[competition]

I guess... It's more like sparring?

[saving_sound]

So... it's a fake fight?

[competition]

It's still fighting, but we don't do it to hurt them? [ He's bad at this. ]

[saving_sound]

[...

.....

.......

nnnnnnnope still not comprehending.]

I... don't think I get it.

[competition]

[ This wasn't horrible or anything. ] ... That's all right.

What kind of egg is it anyway?

[saving_sound]

I'm... not sure.

[She looks down uncertainly at the egg in question.]

The pattern, though... It looks a little familiar?
