Naming Mankey

After walking inside our home. I set Mankeys egg down next to where mother had placed Eevees. My father carried my still sleeping sister to her bed, while my mother sat down next to me on the couch. "I'm sorry , and thank you." Was all I could say to her knowing that she must be taking this hard. " Don't be sweetie I've known about this for months. I should have handled it better but seeing your sister so sad caused my own sadness to overwhelm me. I'm sorry I'm not a better mom and can't be just purely happy for you." At her word I turned and hugged her tightly saying " Don't be ridiculous your the best mother I could ask for. How could be sad that we can't see each other as often ever make you a bad mom." She smiled and ran her finger through my hair. After a few moments we were interrupted by my father.

"So want to tell us what made these 2 so special that we needed to get both them." I just smirked and casually shrugged. "Oh come on sweetie, your mother is also very interested in knowing the big secret" my mother added. I told them " well besides that they are in between dark yellow and light green." I paused for dramatic effect even though my words caused both my parents to already look at the eggs in shock . " they also both possess a unique ability. Eevee has speed boost while Mankey has huge power." My mother looked back to me excitedly not fully grasping what I had said but my father who is an experienced trainer quickly realized just how broken this Mankey would become with proper training.

I just stared at my son and then back to the egg in question absolutely floored at the information. Mankeys have a base attack of 80 with proper training and the Pokemon potential it could easily reach 100 in just a few years couple that with the 2x of that ability. We are looking at a Pokemon with an attack well over 200 as a Mankey. My golem who I've been training for 50 years only has a base attack of 135 when I last checked a few years ago and shouldn't be more than 140 now. Not to mention when it one day evolves. How fearsome would his primape become. The Eevee also had a good ability speed boost but is reliant on the Pokemon fighting long enough for it to take effect. But this Mankey just the thought of its potential sent shivers down my back, but also reassured me. With such promising partners my son should definitely have an easier path than I did and I'm confident he'll be able to protect himself.

While my mother kept telling me how happy she was for me while hugging me. I looked first at my father who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. Followed by looking back at the two eggs. Both sat inside there own incubator which both showed a countdown till they would hatch. 5 days 7 hours and 16 minutes was visible on Mankeys . Where Eevees showed 17 days 2 hours 56 minutes. The next few days couldn't come fast enough.

5 days later I jumped out of bed. Today was a big day. I knew that the academy school year would start on the new year which would leave me only 3 more months with them. And even less time to train my pokemon since newborn pokemon were very small and fragile for there first few weeks. My father warned me that they would probably be much younger and lower leveled than most of my classmates Pokemon. Considering my birthday was late in the year and that most family's that could afford it would by there child an already hatched Pokemon so they could guarantee the potential of the Pokemon purchased. My mother has been helping me get everything ready for the "new additions to the family" as she put it. We had bought an abundant amount of B grade moomoo milk from a silver yellow potential miltank. I would've liked to buy better obviously, but this was the best my family could afford. It was slightly better than average so I can't complain. We also purchased C grade fighting and normal type food pellets to last until I went to the academy. Once there they would actually take care of providing B grade food pellets of all types for us. You were obviously allowed to buy your own better quality or Pokemon specific food but that was very expensive and only students from upper class family could afford that.

The day seemed to progress at a snails pace maybe due to my constantly checking Mankeys incubator every 5/10 minutes. But who could blame me I'm about to have my very own pokemon. I already decided on there name it was either going to be Rafiki if it was a boy or Tsun (short for tsundere) if it is a girl. Eventually it was time for dinner and the countdown was a little less than 2 hours away. As we were eating my parents kept teasing me about how often I would look to the egg. After finishing up dinner and helping my mother with the dishes we all went outside and my father gathered all his Pokemon when the countdown reached lower than 10 minutes. I was visible shaking with excitement as I held a bottle of moomoo milk and pokeball in my hands. The count down progressed closer and closer to 0. My sister was also excited even though it wasn't as cute as Eevee would be she thought a baby Mankey would be very cute also. My mother had to keep reminding her to stay back and that it was very important for me to be the first person Mankey would see. The bond established would be infinitely stronger than that of capturing a wild pokemon and a bit better than that of pitching an already hatched young pokemon.

As the timer hit 0 the incubator opened itself and started beeping a bit to alert those near to the impending birth. I watched intently as the egg shook slowly at first before become violent. Cracks started to quickly form all around the egg before a shattering sound rang out and a bright light enveloped the egg before disappearing revealing a round tiny body with 4 little limbs and a long tail with big crimson eyes. Mankey was already standing in a stance looking poised to strike. Mankey locked eyes with mine as we shared a look before I slowly kneeled in front of them , extending one hand. Mankey sniffed my hand before quickly shuffling up my arm putting itself on my shoulder and face to face. They gave a cute little snort before wrapping there arms around my neck and face and started rubbing there cheeks next to mind contently. I let out a little chuckle which seemed to break them out of there trance. They looked at me and grunted showing they were upset thinking I laughed at them. I quickly consoled them before offering up the bottle. My peace offering clearly worked as Mankey wore a happy expression with eyes closed as they settled in my arms drinking form the bottle I held for them. After finishing they fell alert in my arms snoring softly.

My family who had been watching quietly, soon started becoming noisy. Mostly do to the cling of my mother and sister who couldn't seem to contain themselves from the cute little monkey Pokemon in my arms. My father then added " well what are you waiting for capture it so you can create the bonding affect. You can release them immediately after." No need to tell me twice as I also wanted to creat the bond as quickly as possible but first " Hey dad could you scan them first I want to know if they are a boy or girl so I can name them. My father pulled out his Pokédex (something given to everyone who completes school that shows them as an aliance certified trainer). As he scanned Mankey a ding was heard and the Pokédex began to speak...

I already flipped the coin and know but I decided why not let everyone take a guess or say what they want I’m just curious as to what others are thinking
