Prologue: The Breeder
He came into floaroma town from the north. a tall wraith of a man, he was dressed in midnight blue from head to toe, with the exception of gold trimming on his trench coat. this kind of getup would normally lead people to believe that this man was hiding something, that he couldn't be trusted, but in this case, the melancholy outfit semed to soften the otherwise imposing figure that bore it. as the strange man walked over the river bridge, past the valley windworks, and into the center of town, people stopped what they were doing to gaze at this curious sight. strangers were rare in floaroma town, a small village north of jubilife whos only claim to fame was the Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop, where many of sinnoh's greatest coordinators came to shop for contest items. despite this, strangers were a rare thing. a group of children, none of them more than 10 years old, whispered amongst themselves and snuck looks at the man. finally, a young girl walked out of the congregation and approached the man.
"Excuse me, mister," she said in a steady voice,"um...who are you?"
The man smiled down at her.
"I have been called many things in my time. but you may call me The Breeder."
The Breeder studied the little girl who stood before him.
"What's your name, child?"
"Mikah" The girl answered.
"Well, Mikah, you seem to be a very brave young girl. come with me; i have something for you."
The Breeder started walking towards the Pokemon Center.
"And you can bring your friends with you" he said over his shoulder.
The children exchanged looks, then hurried to catch up.

The Nurse at the counter of the Pokemon Center looked up as the automatic door slid open, creating that distinct note, and was puzzled at the sight in front of her. A tall man in a trench coat walked through the doorway, soon followed by no fewer than 15 children. Suspicious of the man's intentions, the Nurse kept an eye on him as he walked across the tile floor towards the PC in the corner of the room. the breeder tapped a few keys, then waited as an egg slowly appeared in the withdrawal zone. the breeder took the egg and gingerly handed it to mikah, who stared at it in wonder.
"Take care of that egg" the breeder said. "it will be with you for many years to come"
The breeder then looked at the other kids inside.
"who else wants one?"
the Nurse winced as a loud cheer erupted from the small crowd that had gathered inside.
* * *
As the children ran around town, showing off their new eggs, comparing them, studying them, the breeder allowed himself a small smile, then began to walk south towards jubilife city. Mikah was the only one to watch him go, and was slightly puzzled by the actions of the man.
None of the residents of Floaroma Town ever saw him again.
