A new trainer showed up and introduced himself as Drake. He was asking about the portal in the sky.

"Hi, I am Matthias. Yes we know about these portals. Did you just come through one too? Where are you from? And what kind of Pokémon is that?" he asked looking at the strange green monkey. "I have a monkey too, but he is a fire type."

A sudden *Crack* sounded from inside Matthias’ backpack.

‘Uh-oh, something broke’ he thought. "Hang on a second Drake. I think something may have broken in my backpack."

Matthias took off his backpack to examine his belongings. On opening the backpack he release a foul smell into the air.

“Eww, yuck what is that?” he said as he burrowed through the backpack. Then he saw it, and forgot all about Drake or anything else except the egg.

The Pokémon egg he had been given was cracked, but nothing was moving within. He pulled it out and saw the large black crack in the egg and covered his nose at the awful smell coming out of it.

“There is something wrong with my egg!” he called out, not sure what to do.

He felt a small hand tugging at his belt.

“Squirtle?” said Instinct, looking up at Matthias with a concerned look in her eyes. “Squirt?”

“I don’t think this egg is going to hatch, Instinct!" Matthias said gently to the concerned Pokemon, "Something seems very wrong!”

“Squirtle! Squirtle squirtle!” Instinct said holding her hands out for the egg.

"Are you sure?" Instinct nodded and pointed at the egg. Matthias handed the egg to the squirtle.

Instinct carried the egg over to a soft patch of grass and laid it down. “SQUIRTLE!” she cried out loud. “Squirtle, squirt squirt”

Matthias’ other Pokémon came to see what the problem was and the four Pokémon had a quick conference.

“Squirtle, squirt!” “Doof Doof, Bidoof.” “Chimchar, Chim Chim Chimchar?” “Starly, star!” “Squirtle! Squirt squirtle, Squirtle!”

Instinct reached out to the egg and placed her hand on it. “Squirtle?” she said to the other Pokémon. Clearly asking them a question.

Kid walked up and placed both his hands on the egg. With a serious look on his face he confidently said “Chimchar!” and nodded to Squirtle.

Bienie walked up the egg and rested his nose on it. “Bidoof!”

Sniper walked hopped over and rested her beak on the egg. “Starly!”

They then gave a cry in unison. “Squirtle”, “Chimchar”, “Bidoof”, “Starly” and something strange started to happen.

A strange yellow glow emanated from each of the four Pokémon. The glow wound its way around each Pokémon and linked with the glow of each other Pokémon. The strange energy combined and then descended onto the egg.

All four Pokémon and the egg were all glowing. The glow increased in intensity. The four Pokémon cried out again. “Squirtle”, “Chimchar”, “Bidoof”, “Starly”. The blow brightened and glowed with such intensity that Matthias was forced to look away.

Through the closed eyes he could make out the cries of his Pokémon, different but somehow familiar. From the intense bright light came the cries, “Wartortle”, “Monferno”, “Bibarel”, “Staravia” along with a new weak voice, “Spinarak”.

The glow faded and Matthias looked at his Pokémon team. The light had changed them, forcing them into more powerful form of themselves. In their midst was a tiny little green spider, sitting the remnants of the broken egg shell.

Matthias pulled out his Pokedex to get details about the little spider. *Spinarak* It sets a trap by spinning a web with thin but strong silk. It waits motionlessly for prey to arrive.* the Pokedex also indicated that was an extra small size Pokémon. Spinaraks usually measure about a foot tall, but this one was small enough to fit comfortably into Matthias’s hand.

“Thankyou!” Matthias said to the four brave Pokémon surrounding the egg, as he picked up the Spinarak. “You were all willing to give up your previous forms for this Spinarak. I don’t know how to thank you.”

Instinct grinned. She had much bigger fangs now, but that was still her smile. “Wartortle!” she said pointing at the food still laying around.

“It’s all yours! I need to get this little guy…” The Spinarak gave him a dirty look. “I mean, this little girl, checked out to make sure she is OK.”

“Hey, Tony! Could I get you to take a look at my new Pokémon? She had a difficult hatching and I want to make sure she is healthy.”
