The Pokemon screams out in both pain and anger, and bares her >huge >fangs at Minax.

Minax closes her eyes and hopes for the best, something >she >rarely does. She hears the sound of an arm swinging. Yet, she doesn't feel >any >wounds. Minax opens her eyes just in time to see Bubblegum deflate into a >regular >Chansey. "Chaaansey?!" Minax wonders why this has happened, until she notices >that >the pink egg in the palm her hand isn't actually an egg... > >It's a tiny rolled up pink Chansey. The moment Minax notices the difference, >the >baby Chansey unrolls. Standing erect, the cute little baby is slightly less >than a >foot tall. She is born with an ever so tiny egg in her even smaller pouch, >ensuring >that the cycle of life continues. Minax watches as the baby Chansey opens her >eyes >for the first time, "Chaaaa...?" > >"Chansey! Chansey! CHANSEY! CHANSEY!!!" Bubblegum hops up and down happily, >yelling >out cheerfully. All the commotion is enough to draw the attention of Maria >and >Slasher, who show up in the alley. Maria notices the corner of Bubblegum's >pouch >that has been cut, then Minax's bloodied knife, "What's the meaning of this, >Minax?" > >"Congratulations..." Minax declares unenthusiastically, moving her hand over >to >Maria, displaying the tiny Chansey standing there, "You're an aunt." The baby >Chansey gleefully giggles and chirps, "Chansey! Chansey!" "Meeooowtthhh!" Slasher eyed the little Chansey as a possible lunch item. "Meeeoowww...." "Quiet, Slasher!" Maria moved over to inspect Bubblegum's torn pouch. "Minax, you're lucky Bubblegum isn't hurt badly, or else you'd have a Wigglytuff for a head about now." "Promises, promises...." Minax rolled her eyes as Maria applied a Super potion spray to Bubblegum's pouch. She looked at the little Chansey in her hand. It was staring at her, happily waving it's arms. "Channnn!" It squealed at her. Minax raised an eyebrow. "Hey, if you're done coddling that deranged Chansey, would you mind taking this kid offa me?" Maria looked back at the baby Chansey. Great, as if she didn't have enough baby problems... "Hey, you cut it out, you hold on to it." Bubblegum scurried past her and stood on tip toe to take the baby from Minax. "Chanseeeyyyyyy!" She swung the baby in her stubby arms for a moment, then set it into her pouch. "Chanseeyyy!" She cried happily. The baby didn't react. Then it looked up and found Minax again. "Chaaannnn!" It began to cry and cry. Minax grimaced, screwing up her nose. "Argh, make it stop that noise...." "Hmmm...." Maria looked between the baby and Minax. Then before Slasher could make a move to swipe it from Bubblegum's pouch, she removed it, and shoved it into Minax's hands. "Hey!" The baby stopped crying immediately. It cooed and hugged onto Minax. "Channnn!" Maria shook her head. "Uh oh. Looks like it's imprinted on you." Minax stared.at the baby, then at Maria. "Are you trying to tell me that this thing thinks that *I'm* it's mother!? That's insane! I'm too good looking to be anyone's mother, even if it's only to some crazy egg!" "Channnn!" The baby squealed and looked on her with happy little Chansey eyes. Maria sighed and shook her head. She wasn't going to deal with any baby until she had to. "Look, give to me and I'll just exchange it. Such a rare Pokemon at such a young age is worth a fortune. But for Bubblegum's sake, I'd rather just give it to someone it'll be happy with. If you want it...." Minax put her fingers around the little pink Chansey. It was clear that Maria had no idea what she was possibly doing. But then, she was getting a Pokemon who's terrible twos might be killer. "Channnnseeyyy!" The baby hopped a bit in her hands. Oh, what the heck. Minax tucked the baby into her pack. "Fine, I'll take it. Just put that other one away before it tries to maul me or something." Bubblegum was reaching pitifully for the baby. "Chan! Chansseeyyyyyy!" She cried. Maria sighed and stroked the Chansey's smooth head. "It'll be okay Bubblegum....." She offered a stick of gum, but for the first time, it was refused. "CHANSEEEYYYYY!!!" Bubblegum wailed as Maria recalled her into a Pokeball. She began to question whether she should have given the baby away, but it was too late now. She tucked the Pokeball away, hoping Bubblegum would come to terms with the loss. "What's with your Chansey anyway?" Minax frowned. "I'm still not sure. It changes like that whenever it gets scared.... When I stole it from the Cinnabar Pokecenter, I thought it was just another nurse, but now I'm not so sure." "Hmm? I don't follow." Minax moved a hand to smooth her hair back a bit. "Well.....all I know is that strange stuff goes on around Cinnabar." Maria looked around. "That's all I really know on the matter so far." Meanwhile, the little Chansey had stuck it's little pink face out of Minax's knapsack, and was looking around. "Chan! Chan!" "I think it's hungry...." Maria said, picking up Slasher.
