:3 new story. might write more depending on how i feel

ruby was curled up in her sleeping bag, out in the frozen forest of snowpoint city. she'd been travelling for a week since she'd left home with her pokemon. she was awoken by a lump of snow hitting her face

''KAAAAAHHHHHH!'' she screamed and rolled over into some more snow. she rolled back and wriggled out of the sleeping bag into the snow. her fire had gone out at some point in the night. she pulled out a sleeping zane from her sleeping bag and fished out ember's pokeball and called her out to make a new fire. zane allowed himself to be held onto for warmth by ruby as ember spat flames onto the wood ruby had put aside the night before. ruby stopped. she heard a coughing noise. she looked around and saw a lump of snow moving slightly. she pointed zane towards it and he dove into the snow pile and popped his head back out after knocking most of the snow off of the pile. it was another trainer and their pokemon! she called mi-mi out of her pokeball and with mi-mi's help dragged the trainer and their pokemon over to the fire. she wiped the rest of the snow off the trainer and placed his pokemon next to the fire. she made an igloo and dragged him in to get warm.

two hours later

ruby heard some spluttering come from inside the igloo, she stuck her head in to see the boy sit up into the top of the igloo... she burst out laughing!

''HEY YOU!'' the boy shouted at her. ''yeah? what's up frosty the snowboy?'' she joked. ''where's my pokemon?!'' he looked around anxiously. ''out by the fire warming up'' she snapped. talk about ungrateful, she saved his life and he repays her by yelling at her! the boy scrambled out to his pokemon, ruby hadn't seen a type like that before since she had just arrived in this region from the hoenn region. ''luxray? are you ok?!'' he asked his pokemon, it looked at him and slightly nodded. ''he's fine, my mightyena warmed him up fine'' she kicked some snow at him. ''who are you anyway?!'' he turned on her angrily. ''my name is ruby, i arrived in this region last week and have been travelling towards hearthorme to compete in contests. my pokemon are all pretty tough so don't try anything funny!'' she snapped at him. ''well i'm nase. my luxray is my only pokemon that i have on hand exept my egg...WAIT, WHERE'S THE EGG?!'' he panicked and looked for his bag. ''zane, go find this imbociles bag'' ruby said quietly. zane quickly started sniffing the snow and pulled nase's bag out from some 10 inches of snow. ''good boy. give it to the imbocile'' she asked him. nase quickly pulled out the egg container and pulled the egg out to check if it was ok. ''give me the egg'' ruby ordered him. ''no! who do you think you are?!'' nase jumped up and held the egg close to him. ''i'm a pokemon breeder and worked in a pokemon daycare. give me the egg so i can check to see if it's dud or not'' she took a step forward and placed her hand out, reluctantly nase gave her the egg. ''zane, fetch the eggbag'' she asked him and he brought it to her. ''ok so this is a smaller egg, normal type, holds a four legged pokemon inside, still alive...just about, will be quite small when hatched, i'm guessing it'll be a girl judging the size. i'm guessing your egg is an eevee'' she handed back the egg and pulled out a pink pokeball. she called out jelly and sat down. ''and now we wait until it hatches. not too long now, if it isn't hatched by the end of the day then zane will have to crack it open or it will die in the egg'' she told him as he put the egg inside his jacket. ''the egg will be better off inside mi-mi's fur, she's well insulated i'll have you know''
