He is unsure if he really should leave such a timid girl all alone, but the quick glimpse he caught of Barbie, the paranoid Mareep, suggested that he should probably leave the two of them alone. > Sarah sniffs and looks up at Whitney.

At the Goldenrod Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy was tending to Bob's Girafarig and Ninetales, while Bob and Zapper were sitting on the bench waiting. Without Raffy's help, Bob couldn't understand what Zapper was trying to say, but it was clear that both were puzzled. They didn't get very far into their thoughts when the door opened and Nurse Joy came out. Bob walked over the counter where she handed over the pokeballs that Raffy and Buddy were in. Bob graciously picked up the pokeballs and turned around and walked right past Sarah. He stopped and turned around. "How'd it go in there?" Bob asked, not noticing a badge in plain sight. "I l-lost." was Sarah's timid reply "Ah, don't feel bad, that Miltank of hers is tough. I got plowed by it a couple of times before beating her this time. Besides, your pokemon seem to care about you, so you have nothing to worry about." Bob said, trying to console her. Sarah walked up to the counter and her and Nurse Joy talked. Bob started to walk out the door and was interruped by some wiggling in his backpack. He stopped to check what it was and he realized that it was the egg that had forgot about. Then an idea struck him. He reached into his backpack and pulled out the egg, and then walked over to the bench where Sarah now sat. He held out the egg and offered it to Sarah. "Here. I'd like you to have it. I'm not exactly sure what it is, but it's just about ready to hatch." Bob said politely. Sarah just stared at the egg stunned. "I-I couldn't. Th-that's yours." Sarah said, trying to be polite. "Look, I have my enough pokemon to take care of already, and I'm sure that it'll be helpful to you on your journey. Also, my parents own a day-care center outside of town here and trainers turn down their pokemon's eggs fairly often, so I can always go home for another one," Bob explained. "W-well th-thanks for the k-kindness." Sarah says very timidly as she takes the egg out of Bob's hands. "You'll need a ball to put the baby in once it hatches." Bob says while he burrows through the many different kinds of balls in his backpack. He grabs two Friend Balls and hands them to Sarah. "These balls help make a pokemon more attached to it's trainer." "Th-that's to much. I c-couldnt t-take these t-too." Sarah says, looking at the apricorn pokeballs. "You just did." Bob says, slipping them into her satchel. Before Sarah had a chance to thank Bob, Nurse Joy came out of the back room and called Sarah's name. She politely handed her the Fast Ball containing Blazer and the Lure Ball containing Luthor. When she turned around, Bob was already halfway out the door. When Sarah was out of sight, Bob released Raffy out of his pokeball. He then started walking up Goldenrod's Main Street, leaving Sarah and Barbie behind at the Pokemon Center, with her new egg. TBC
