When the two pokemon hatched, Ed was curious on why all pokemon born as an egg hatched. Seeing many pokemon egg and seeing them hatched Ed wants to know more about this certain phenomena. But when the two pokemon had the type of his attribute, Ed sensed that the shell was something like an elemental protection as he could feel the psychic and grass type element when the two shells dispersed.
While Ed was curious about why pokemon became an egg when they were born, the girls were happy about the birth of the two cute pokemon, especially Diantha as she lovingly hugged Ralts. Daisy was looking at the two newly hatched pokemon thinking of something as she left to find someone.
Marill and Roselia followed Daisy as they're one of Daisy's babysitters including Ralts but Ed's Ralts was busy helping Diantha on taking care of the newly hatched Ralts. When Daisy left the doorbell rang as most of the adults were out Ed went to see who was ringing the bell.
Ed saw an elder who had almost the same face as his Grandpa Yun, Ed knew that it was Sean Williams, Grandpa Yun's brother. With him was his family, his wife, two children (Ed's uncle and aunt), and grandchildren.
Sean's wife was named Hella and their children were their son Rudi who was also Siebold's father and their daughter was Shella and her daughter Ella who was younger than Ed also with them was Shella's husband Kian.
Ed greeted the family but what took his attention was the pokemons who were beside his cousins. The one beside Siebold was a Squirtle and a Torchic and Mienfoo beside Ella.

Ed was shocked as his cousin Ella has two platinum aptitude pokemon. After all it was rare to have a platinum aptitude pokemon and it was already lucky that he had a platinum aptitude pokemon. But now his little cousin has two.
Ed invited them inside as Grandpa Sean led the way, while Ed was also following them he was thinking that his family was strong but what confused him was that in the games, manga, and animations why are they not close to each other. Just like him some was unknown and he felt that something happened that broke the family apart, making them not contact each other again.
"Brother Ed, what are you thinking about?" Ella asked Ed.
Looking at Ella, Ed remembers that her grandfather was Gurkinn and that she was his successor. Ed theories that maybe something happened that made Korrina orphaned.
"Who were these friends of yours Ella?" Ed asked, pointing to the two pokemon with her.
"Hehehe, they're Torchic and Mienfoo. My grandpa Gurkinn gave them to me. I am training hard with them so that we can get our wish."
"Your wish?"
"Yes, Torchic wants to become a Blaziken and Foo wants to become like her mother. And I want to become the same as my two Grandpa, a strong trainer." Ella proudly state her dreams, Ed also saw that Hella elbowed Grandpa Sean as he saw that Grandpa Sean was smiling ear to ear.
Ed smiled as he heard his cousin's aspiration but he remembered that Gurkinn's only family was Korrina and thought because they're not introduced in the game and the anime but if Ella was Gurkinn's successor then there are bad things that will happen to Ella.
Ed theorises that that the first bad event was Ed died and he has not reincarnated. Like what the system told him he was a butterfly when a main character reincarnated in those time travel stories he was like flapping his wings changing history and fate.
'Then let's make this our main goal then'
[Ping]
Ed heard a system notification and it only notify him if there is a task or mission for him.
"Brother Ed"
Ed heard Ella calling him and he returned from his brainstorming back to reality.
"Brother I heard from the Grandpas that you and big sister Cynthia were training to become a strong trainer. I want to train with you guys!"
'But the only one training was Cynthia, I'm nothing but a practice dummy!' Ed roared in his mind.
"You can train with Big Sis then" Ed said as he want to pass Cynthia's torture on him to his battle minded cousin. Then he remembered his other cousin who has arrived "But why don't you train with big brother Siebold?"
Hearing Ed's question, Ella's face became serious and this made Ed think that Siebold didn't like to train with his little cousin. He look at his cousin who was focused that he didn't hear anything everyone was saying and Ella continued
"If you have a choice between yummy food cooked by big brother and training, I choose Yummy food! I asked big brother every time we met but he said he was busy cooking new food and of course I will be the taste tester."
"..."
'Uh.. I can't rebuke to what you said after all if I was in your situation I'm also choose food'
Ed look at Siebold who has a serious face and he could sense that his cousin was excited and couldn't wait to meet someone.
Then he remembered that Siebold was always a fan of the William elders and other water type specialist and due to his idolization of those water type trainer. He was always proud of his elders who always use water type but he know that like his father and grandfather he like cooking than battling.
When they arrived they were greeted to the sight of Cynthia and the others giving milk to the pokemons. Cynthia as reading a book while instructing Diantha who was the one giving the milk and Daisy who was also busy drinking her own milk. Elder Sean was surprised same as his childrens.
—----
Grandpa Sean and his children settled down as they went to their rooms to rest after greeting Macy, Cynthia, and the other who were present in the house. On the other hand his grandchildren were with Ed and Cynthia still full of energy.
Ed don't know why but their is a changes on Cynthia's Gible and also for his Trapinch.
GIble
Type: Dragon/Ground
Level: 15
Aptitude: Diamond
Trapinch
Type: Ground
Level: 08
Aptitude: Gold
The two pokemon has a huge jump on their level in just one night but because of this and feeling of having a backing his Trapinch becomes even lazier. Because Trapinch was the first Trapinch child of the Flygon and Garchomp couple they are spoiling the lazy head.
It was unbelievable and all the plot was like written by a low rate writer giving a protagonist a strong plot armor. At first he think he was the protagonist but being beaten by Cynthia he think otherwise and added that almost all of Cynthia's main pokemon in games and anime.
Also he couldn't help but be jealous of how strong Cynthia's Gible was that it was now stronger than his other pokemon aside for Ralts and Pikachu (Zeraora).
Ed felt that everything surrounding Cynthia was absurd that he forgot that his existence was also absurd.
Back to the present Ella challenged Cynthia to a battle. Cynthia accepts the challenge excitedly and Ed thinks that Cynthia was getting tired of beating him and his pokemon. Siebold on the other hand was anxious and was looking around, especially looking at the door. Cynthia led everyone towards the battlefield in the backyard or the garden of the house.
Of course in their battle Cynthia won but unlike Ed who was like a noob in battling as he need to rely on Pikachu (Zeraora) and Ralts who was his highest level pokemon to beat Cynthia and its Gible, Ella battled using Torchic and almost beating Cynthia and Gible.
Ed who was bias in his perspective in which he taught Torchic is weak and would only bloom if they evolve into a Combusken. But his little cousin who was younger than him showed on using tactics.
Ella knowing that Torchic has type disadvantage use a hit and run tactics against Gible who was slower than them but luck wasn't on her side as Gible made a lucky shot using its dragon rage attack hitting Torchic and Cynthia took the chance and followed up with another one knocking Torchic.
Siebold who was looking around beside Ed was contemplating and Daisy who was beside them asked Siebold
"Scary face brother what arre you thinking?"
Siebold looked at Daisy but he didn't respond to Daisy but just stared at her. Being stared by Siebold's always angry face made Daisy cried.
The girls stop what they were doing and comfort the little girl. Leaving Ed and Siebold they returned inside the house.
"Siebold what happened?" Ed asked
"Diasy asked me what I'm looking for, I look at her and she started crying" Siebold sighed as he didn't know what happened
Ed look at Siebold's face and nods as like Cynthia, in Ed's perspective, they have those angry/serious face. He could only ask Siebold again not continuing about the topic about his face.
"So what were you curious about? That you were look around."
"Why there is no adult watching you guys?"
When Siebold asked this question this made Ed realized something he looked over, he forgot that they're kids but here they are playing dangerous pokemon battles without adults' supervisions.
"The ..the pokemon?" Ed answered
"But some pokemon were dangerous" Siebold chide his answer
"Your right"
"Also about Daisy, she's one year old right?"
"I think she's 1 and a half old" Ed answered Siebold's question and he heard his cousin mumble
"Why is she like older"
"Why do you think Daisy was like older?"
"It's because she could talk normally without biting her tongue and she could carry heavy things that a child couldn't carry. Also I heard that she likes doing runways, making her more mature. Don't you think she's possessed?"
Ed stared at Siebold and he has a certain realization but he didn't mind it after al
l he was reincarnated add to being in the pokemon world. But Daisy being possessed was a null hypothesis after all Ed knew that Daisy was like a child.
