Journey Towards Greatness

After the big race day came to an end, Alola fell back to its usual calm state. People were walking around like usual without the excitement that they carried yesterday.

People have gone back to their usual life now that the race has come to an end. Julian also woke up from his bed and welcomed the new day.

Today will be a school day, so he will have to hurry up and go teach his students. After following his usual morning routine, Julian left his hotel room and headed toward the school.

Arriving at the school, everything was as normal as before, with students running around playing with their friends. What he doesn't know is that a surprise is waiting for him.

As he walks into his classroom, he sees his students surrounding something that he cannot see, but before he could even figure out what they are looking at, Principal Samson and Kukui barged in as well and in Samson's hand is a glowing pokemon egg.

Samson "Students, the egg is hatching!"

He yelled and rushed him. His arrival was instantly noticed by the students and they moved out of their way to reveal another glowing pokemon egg on the desk.

Julian looked at both these pokemon and got surprised. He didn't expect both eggs to hatch at the same time.

Principal Samson brought the egg toward the students and placed it right next to the other egg.

Now everyone is surrounding the eggs as their eyes are fixed on them. They can't help but get excited wondering what pokemons come out of these eggs.

Even Julian is waiting for them for quite a while. The pokemon egg that principal Samson brought in was sent here all the way from Kanto, so Julian is interested in what it could be.

A few seconds passed, and the eggs started to glow brighter. Soon, cracks formed on their shell, and bright light shot out of them.

Their wait finally came to an end as the egg shells disappeared as the pokemon silhouette started to shape up. As these silhouettes come to shape, Julian is able to identify the pokemons that are about to hatch.

Soon the light fades away, and two baby pokemons appear in front of everyone.

Everyone in the room got excited seeing these two pokemons, even Julian is happy to see these two pokemon start their new life.

Though these two pokemon look very different, they are of the same species. These two pokemons are none other than Vulpix. One is a fire type that is found almost all around the world, while the other is an ice type that is exclusive to Alola and that is why it is called an Alolan Vulpix.

Seeing two completely different pokemon of the same species fascinated these children. To them, the Alolan Vulpix is the normal one, so seeing a fire-type Vulpix is a very new experience.

And just like their appearance, the two Vulpix also seem to have very different characters, the fire type Vulpix seems very approachable and friendly while the ice type is a little reserved and cold to others.

But this didn't stop the students and their pokemon from approaching the two newly born pokemons and befriending them. Even Julian's Crystal popped out of his pocket and introduced itself to the newborns.

And within seconds, Crystal was their best friend. There is no pokemon on this world that Crystal cannot befriend, no matter how distant they try to act or be.

While everyone is getting familiar with the two new pokemons, one of them is struggling to approach them and this person is none other than Lillie, even though she was about to take care of the pokemon egg and hold it, she still isn't able to get close to them and this was noticed by everyone in the room.

The icy type Vulpix named Snowy by Lillie recognized her by the aura around her. It knew that Lillie was the one who took care of it during its time inside the egg but when it tried to approach Lillie, Lillie backed away in fear.

Snowy is confused by this and saddened that its caretaker doesn't want to hold it, but Lillie quickly explains that it is her that is the problem and not Snowy.

Julian watches all this from the sideline and decides to not interfere. If Lillie is able to overcome her fear of touching an egg, she can overcome her fear of pokemons on her own. She doesn't need any help.

Samson "Now that these two have hatched, we need to find someone to take care of them"

He said.

Julian looked at Lillie and then at Snowy and thought of something.

Julian "Why don't you let Lillie take care of Snowy? Since she took care of it from the very beginning, she should take care of it now as well"

Samson "That's a great idea. Then I will be taking this Vulpix with me then"

Samson said and picked up the fire-type Vulpix and walked out of the class along with Kukui.

Once they made their exit, Julian decided to let the students play with Snowy for the day and let Snowy get familiar with people around it, as socializing is a very important step for young pokemons.

If they are not exposed to people and pokemon at a young age, they will be very aggressive towards them when they grow up.
