Surprise filled her body and her eye grew wide again. She really was actually, honestly, totally surprised. There was no argument? At least now? She felt a bit jittery with excitement at the prospect that someone was actually believing her. Was there something special about this kid?
'Everyone starts somewhere Pokemon battle wise..'
"I... I guess so, right?!" She grinned a bit, trying to appear a bit more confident about the battles then she was now that she started to feel hopeful about a potential friend. She didn't want to drive her off. This one, at the very least, being better than Mackenzie, the 8-year-old who constantly was texting her about stuff. This one knew she was a grown up! R-right? She was totally not just avoiding the discussion, right?
'Strength and power were heavily pressed upon in my mother's eyes: If you weren't strong you weren't worth a damn and that meant you learned fast and you learned well.'
To be honest this seemed so strange to Harper... and made her feel sad. Sure sometimes she got annoyed with her own mother and father and their tendency to baby her, but... she couldn't imagine it being the other way around. She felt a bit embarrassed now, not because of anything Emily said... but for every time she complained about her own situation.
Just let her completely finish this time before trying to chime in. "That's really rough! My Mama and Papa want me to be a baby forever but... that's way worse. You don't have to be strong! You don't have to be anything, Emily! You're really cool the way you are!" She beamed a big grin at the teenager and she really truly meant that.
She clutched her egg softly but with a firm grip, hugging it like a doll. She did see the merit of having protection but felt guilty about making one of her Pokemon do that. Still... she knew she should genuinely consider it. There were times without her Papa around now she did feel scared and unsafe. Her eyes glanced back over at the passing family, once again towards the pair of girls. One looked again, about Emily's age... 14, and the other was perhaps 7 years old. Seeing that kinda stuff made her realize that most passerby probably looked at them and saw them the same way. But maybe she could be okay with that for now... and big enough to ask for help despite it making her feel like a little sister.
"Um... do you think maybe you could..." she got a bit shy and nervous at this point, extremely bashful. "T-Teach me a little?" Her small babyish voice shook a little and she had trouble meeting Emily's eyes. "I-I mean, I'll pay you... you don't gotta but..."
She felt so silly. It didn't help that the two sisters some distance away had started talking loudly and, by coincidence, the little kid started bouncing at her big sister's feet shouting, "Teach me, teach me!" Harper couldn't help but glance over and see that the big sister was showing off some cool looking tricks with a Yo-Yo, obviously attempting to show off for the kid who didn't quite understand her new toy. They had stopped at a little kiosk where they were selling them, Harper having considered buying one a little on the way before...
She wanted to die of embarrassment right about then...

Emily watched Harper silently, watching the rather small adult before her as she considered the idea of a Pokemon battle. At least she's a bit confident in her skills... well not really... in truth Emily couldn't quite tell if Harper was as confident as she herself would have liked her to be. Sure, there were times when she herself wasn't the most confident in Pokemon battles as she would have liked: But everyone had those times, everyone had those times when they didn't think they were going to succeed in some things they might have tried.
Her mother would have scolded her for her uncertainty in such a situation, would have probably done the same to Harper as well, tried if not in some unpleasant ways to teach the other girl to "Grow a Pair." For a lack of a better word and her mothers occasionally crude wordings to things she thought needed to be said.
At Harper's words about the kind of person Emily was, the other's statement that she was cool the way she was Emily couldn't help the blush of mild embarrassment that flickered onto her face. "Um.. thanks." she half muttered, shifting one of hte Togepi in her arms as she spoke. Said Togepi let out a squeal of surprise before tugging intensely on the girl's shirt as if to tell her to stop moving it was just getting comfy! A glance down toward the Togepi "Sorry." the girl apologized to her Pokemon before drawing her gaze back toward Harper. "Some people don't get to grow up normal, I'm one of those and that's all fine and dandy. I'm out of there for the time being so we'll just see where life takes me." she hoped she didn't sound rediculous with that Life Takes Her kind of attitude but she had been controlled for so long, this was her turn to be who she wanted.
As Harper and Emily conversed Corvo continued to watch in silence, staring at the eggs hte girl now had in her possession as both began to shake and tremble in her arms; near hatching it seemed... (you control that)
Emily stared hard at the other girl and for a moment she pondered the question. Could she teach her to battle.... she supposed she could? "Sure um... Corvo is the one with the experience so he'll be more helpful in that and for payment, don't worry about it. Corvo takes any chance he can get to fight really: It was what he was bred and raised for, to be my mother's Pokemon and all of hers are fighting machines." had she not taken Corvo who knew what he would have become?
The Raichu nodded his head simply and waited, eyeing the girl in silence "What Pokemon do you have to use? Just pick one and bring it on out."

Harper was thrown off guard. What? Right now? This moment? Right here? Battling?
She didn't feel ready. A lump in her tummy trying to even recall what Pokemon did she have. There was the scary one who stood at the doorway at night... and the one who liked to pretend to be a doll. What were they called again?
Someone save me...
Boing! The egg in her clutches nearly bounced out of her hands. It started glowing a brilliant white color and quickly lost it's shape, looking formless. Wait, wait. Now? The teen girl had mentioned it was soon but... now!?
Right now? Oh no! Oh no! I got supplies but... do I got enough? Is it ready? Do I gotta do anything?
She could only stare with anticipation as the white light seemed to hover just radiantly in the air. This was so trippy. So wierd. She had only ever been around Pokemon older than she was. Her Papa's Pokemon. She had never been around a new Pokemon before.
"A baby... a baby Pikachu..."
She had expected it to crack out of its shell but gasped as the white light would just shift shapes and suddenly take the shape of her new baby Pokemon, and then... stop.
There it was.
A BABY!
Looking so small, it turned its little head with the cute triangle ears. Looking around at the world around it for the first time. A baby! It's big eyes glanced over at Harper, who was gushing and slowly lowering herself to her knees. A baby! A baby! A baby Pikachu! She knew it was called Pichu but she had never seen on in person before.
"Come here baby.." She gushed, holding out her arms. Her volume might have been a bit louder than it needed to be, probably catching the attention of any passerby not already surprised by the sudden hatching going on. To the Pichu's credit, it was a brave little one... not thrown off by the squealing girl but showing interest. Harper couldn't hold herself back anymore. She ran right up and curled the baby in her arms where the egg once was, holding it soft yellow and black fur and petting it softly. Nuzzling it...
"I love her Emily..." Tears started building up in her eyes, starting to feel overwhelmed by her emotions again. "I love you... I love you Pichu..." She as full on crying, touching it's little nose...
"A baby..." her tone mushy, practically sobbing.

Emily smiled lightly as she watched Harper's reaction, eying the egg as it began to glow, churn and twist into the form of the little Pichu. The light had faded and what was left was indeed the tiny yellow mouse Pokemon, staring in bewildered wonderment at the surroundings around her. Corvo smiled lightly toward his newly hatched child, speaking up in the langauage only the Pokemon -and maybe Emily- could understand. Sure the teen maybe wasn't a psychic but maybe she was? Who knew by this point? She could imagine what the thing was saying to it's child though, imagine the words Corvo had to offer to the young mouse now in Harper's arms.
"Welcome to the world kid. It's gonna be scary sometiems, but good other times." the Raichu explained to his child calmly, nodding toward Harper after a moment in approval. The girl should have given Pichu some time to think, time to process before swooping it up like that but that was just Corvo's opinion on the mater. Of course Corvo was a father, he could be overprotective even to the child he wasn't going to get to keep with him... at least for a little bit he could be.
"Glad to hear it." Emily finally spoke herself, adjusting the little Togepis in her arms before shifting to return a few to their Pokeballs. Several little forms disappeared into the red and white spheres, leaving only the one atop her head to remain. The bandit pulled the creature off from her head and held it against her chest: It was this little guy's time to get some cuddles.
The girl smiled at her little friend before letting her gaze shift back toward the older girl. "We can battle later if you wanna spend some time with that little one." she offered up, leaning down to place her Togepi down onto the ground. Togepi looked up at the new Pichu, having watched the creature hatch.... It wanted to play with the new little Pichu friend.

She sniffled loudly, looking around her for a bit. The baby Pichu was unsure and confused, but the coddling did feel nice and after the slight bit of panic it did have it's first little enjoyable experience.
As Harper pet the sweet mouse Pokemon on the head, it turned it's attention to the father. It greeted its daddy but felt so far away in Harper's arms, squirming just a little as it was filled with a longing for closeness. Eventually, it would let out a small little jolt to the slightly unaware Harper and she would squeal. "I-I'm sorry!" The Pichu didn't seem upset, but she set it down... rubbing the sore on her arm as the Pichu walked over and attempted to nuzzle its father.
Still overcome with emotion, she sniffled a little and rubbed the sore... "D-Did I do something wrong? Do they not like being held? I'm sorry..." she looked over at Emily, looking for her guidance. Filled with embarrassment that Emily saw her stumble with it already, and hurt at a perceived feeling of rejection.

The multi coloured strands of hair blew lightly against Emily's skin as she stood, a small gust of wind blowing past herself and Harper as they continued to be in the outdoors area. Perhaps a battle could wait a while, perhaps Harper should get some time to bond with the new little Pichu, especially before the second egg itself would hatch: At the thought her gaze drew to where the Togepi egg lay and she eyed it intently for a long time before her gaze drew back toward Harper, just in time to see the girl get shocked by the Pichu. A small chuckle escaped her lips at the sight and she only smiled. "Could'a been worse." she emuttered to herself. Drawing her attention briefly toward Corvo and the Pichu before shifting her eyes back to Harper she spoke up, taking note of the girl's fearful question. "No, Pichu can't entirely control their electricity till they evolve and I think, at least judging by that adorableness here that your Pichu just wanted to see it's father." she explained casually. Once the Togepi hatched the Pichu would have one of it's siblings so there'd be that. Corvo smiled as his child walked toward toward, moving to nuzzle against him and without a word he wrapped his arms around he liyounger mouse, nuzzling it back before muttering a few words in pokespeak to it.[]color=Yellow "You're going to be great."[/b] he assured the little creature, perhaps more for his own assurance then the Pichu's. "So, got any name ideas for that little cutie?"Harper Haile

(Give me just a handful of posts between egg hatching, I don't think Harper's heart can take it... hehe... also totally my bad but I had established in my PC that Pichu was gonna be a girl. Should have mentioned it a smidgeon earlier just to help out)
"Oh. Oh. Right." She blushed, realizing there was still a lot to know. "Don't worry, I'm going to do so much research. I'll know everything about Pichu!" She felt for some reason like there was something to prove to this kid. Or maybe the world, or maybe just herself. But she genuinely meant it, she wanted to do right by her babies. Was it silly? She had never looked up how to best take care of Gothita or Elgeyem, it had just come up naturally and she took good care of them...
"A... name?" Yet another surprise. It seemed as if Emily was full of them, making her feel silly. "My friend... Mackenzie..." She paused for a moment as she collected her pride of referring to the 8 year old as her friend. "She thought I should call her Cherri... w-what do you think? Maybe something like Sparkles would be better?" She blushed, thinking the second name was better at first... but maybe it was a little too on the nose. Cherri had started to really warm up to her, despite not being the one she had originally picked herself.
The sweet little girl in question about to be named continued to Nuzzle her Papa, feeling comforted by his words. She herself was a sweet little thing of few words, but every little "Piiii~" that she made made Harper's heart skip a few beats. She returned his sweet comforting words with thanking him, but the major thing she expressed to her Papa was that she felt good, that she was happy, and that she loved him.
She smiled back at Harper, the cuddly thing sort of wishing that it could cuddle both of her parents at the same time... Harper felt comforted to see the baby smile at her, waving back shyly. She supposed Emily was right... it was just a babyish mistake. She had to be ready for stuff like that. She just was taking this seriously.
