Yes, this is an mpreg fic as you probably read from the summary. But this time it's Tracey that's my latest victim! Muhahaha!! However, this does not involve yaoi what so ever. So wait, then who's the father of Tracey's baby? Well more like who's the mother of Tracey's baby. And if you read the summary and know what orangeshipping is then you'll know.
No mpreg in this chapter though. Just some orange fluff, a troubling secret, and a pokemon egg.
Oh and don't worry my precious COAL fans. Chapter 12 is coming real soon. But for now, enjoy this fic.
The Most Precious Gift
Today Misty left the Cerulean Gym to visit Professor Oak's laboratory. She had told her sisters that she was just going there to just get advice from Professor Oak about what to do with her Psyduck however she was going there for a completely different reason. Her sisters suspected it as well.
She had been trying to hide it for a while but she was secretly having a relationship with Professor Oak's assistant and long time friend, Tracey Sketchit. The two of didn't know why but they just kept it a secret from everyone. Maybe because they felt that everyone would be shocked to find out the girl who was in love with Ash Ketchum for so long has fallen for someone else. But why should she fell ashamed about that? She hadn't seen Ash in forever and Tracey's the one that's there for her.
Misty arrived in Pallet Town and walked up the stairs to Professor Oak's lab. She rang the bell and then made sure that her hair looked nice. The door was then answered by the professor.
"Hello Professor Oak." she friendly told him.
"Ah. Hello there Misty. Looks like you made it here safe and sound."
"Yeah. As long as I have my Gyarados with me I'll be fine no matter where I go."
"True, true. Why don't you come in?" he offered.
He let Misty inside the mansion and led her down the hall. There she saw Tracey coming out one of the rooms with a broom in his hands.
"Oh hey Misty!" he said happily. He was even blushing a little.
"Good to see you!" she said as she gave him a hug. She was blushing as well.
"So…em Misty. Didn't you say you needed advice on your Psyduck?" Professor Oak asked. His eyebrow slightly arched.
"Huh?" she said sounding confused. "Oh oh yeah! My Psyduck! Well that can wait a bit. Tracey told me you had a new invention you were working on."
"Yeah. Can we tell her about it Professor?"
"Well… I see no harm in it. Come, I'll show you."
He and the two teenagers then walked down another hall and then down some stairs. Down the stairs was a small laboratory he used to work on his inventions. In the middle of the room there was a strange looking machine.
"Is this it?" Misty asked.
"Yep." said Tracey.
"What's it called? What's it do?"
"Well it's not called anything for the moment. But what I intend to have it do is to help out the breeding situation with some pokémon that are on the brink of extinction."
"How's it supposed to work?" she said as she looked up at the machine.
"Basically it's supposed to artificially inseminate pokémon that usually have a hard time mating. Some pokémon become really picky about the mates they choose and sometimes refuse to mate for the rest of there lives."
"Oh I see. I guess that can be useful for pokémon like Dratini."
"Yes but instead of using injections," Tracey explained, "this machine will use really weak volts of electricity to inseminate the female. It's completely painless and can be done in a matter of seconds."
"Well that's the plan anyway." Professor Oak said. "Normally a male pokémon would need to fertilize the female pokémon's eggs. But with this, all we'll need is to convert the male's DNA into an electrical current. That current can then be transferred through the machine and the through probes that would be put on the female. If successful, the DNA will combine with the unfertilized eggs and then a pokémon egg will begin to form."
"Wow... that sounds like a pretty breakthrough procedure. You could save a lot of pokémon species with this."
"But for now, it's just in a testing stage. I don't want to risk causing any harm to a pokémon until I know its 100 percent safe. Hopefully I can work out all the bugs as soon as possible."
After that, the three returned upstairs were Professor Oak would discuss to Misty about what to do with Psyduck. During his lecture she nearly fell asleep. After all, this isn't really the reason why she wanted to come there in the first place. But after Professor Oak finished his lecture she was able to get what she wanted.
After his lecture Professor Oak went back to the downstairs lab in order to resume working on his breakthrough project. As for Misty and Tracey, they went up to Tracey's room. Once the door was closed, he locked it and then began to kiss with Misty.
"Man…" he said during a break. "I didn't think I could hold it in any longer."
"Me neither…" She then gave him another long kiss. "I was about to go crazy if I had to listen to anymore of that lecture."
Misty then went and lay on Tracey's bed. Tracey then lay next to her. Misty grabbed the back of Tracey's head and pulled him closer to her face. Tracey put his arms around her. One of his hands was on the back of her head and the other was on her butt. They took a break from their make out session for a second in order to speak.
"So have you been missing me since I was away?" Misty asked Tracey.
"Of course. You won't believe how lonely it gets here with out you." He then put his hand on the side of Misty's face.
"It gets lonely around my gym with out you there too. I realize just how happy I am when I'm with you. Even happier than I was with Ash…"
"Do you think he'll be mad when he finds out?"
"No… He's too oblivious to that kind of stuff. It's not like he ever had any romantic feelings for me anyway."
"Well he seemed really ticked when you were paying attention to Rudy."
"Oh please… He was just mad because he wasn't getting attention. Love had nothing to do with it. Trust me."
"If you say so." He gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "You're usually right about those kinds of things."
Later that night, Misty asked Professor Oak if it be okay for her to spend the night. The gym was closed for the weekend and she offered to lend a hand doing chores around the lab with Tracey. He agreed and offered her a guest room to stay in. She didn't mind just staying in Tracey's room but she didn't want him to suspect anything.
Tracey made dinner for everyone that night. Professor Oak decided to continue to work on his project so he took his dinner with him. Tracey even whipped up a little pokéchow for his Marill. She didn't eat anything for that entire day.
"Wow Tracey this is great!" Misty complimented. "Your cooking tastes just like Brock's."
"Really? Thanks! I learned many different recipes while living here at the lab. I remember a time when I couldn't even boil water right." he laughed a little.
"Well look at you now." she smiled. "Tracey the Master Chef."
Tracey smiled back and then turned his sights to Marill who was just staring at her food dish.
"Aren't you hungry Marill?"
"Marill…" she shook her head.
"You haven't eaten all day. Are you sick?" he said while putting a hand on her forehead."
"Marill…"
"Well you don't have a fever."
"Wonder what wrong with her?" Misty asked.
"I'm not sure… She's been acting a little strange all week. She would disappear for about a day and come back. But this is the first time she's refused to eat."
"Marill Marill…"
"Do you feel tired?" Tracey asked.
Marill then nodded "yes"
"Here, why don't you lie down for a while?" He picked up his pokémon and carried her to his room. Next to his bed he kept a basket that he would let Marill sleep in. He then placed her in the basket. "Maybe some rest will do you good. If not then maybe I should ask Professor Oak what to do."
Marill then curled up in the basket and went to sleep. Tracey went back down stairs and rejoined Misty.
Later, around 2:00 in the morning, Tracey woke up. He hated waking up at this time of night because he could never get to sleep again. Since he was up, he decided to see if Misty as awake as well. Maybe he and she could have a little fun. First Tracey looked to the side of his bed to have a look at Marill who was still sleeping. He then got up from his bed and went to Misty's room which was just down the hall. He tip toed so that he wouldn't wake the professor. Once he got there he saw that the door was slightly open. As he put his ear to the door, he could hear the sound of Misty crying. He wasn't sure if she was asleep or not. When he opened the door slowly Misty then quickly looked up at him.
"Tracey? What are you doing?" she asked.
"Uh well I… went to see if you were up or not…"
"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" she asked as she turned a lamp on.
"Yeah but I usually have a hard time doing so."
He got closer to Misty and saw that her face was red and she was trying to dry tears that dripped down her cheeks.
"What's wrong…?" he asked in concern. "Are you alright?"
"Well I… no…"
"What's the matter?" Tracey sat on the bed next to Misty and put his hand on her shoulder. "You can tell me."
"It's just that… I miss Togepi… Togetic I should say." She then began to cry a little again.
"Oh. I see…"
"I just miss him being in my arms… needing me for every little thing. Now he's all grown up an on his own." She tried to keep the tears under control but couldn't. Soon she began to cry even more. "I miss him so much Tracey."
Tracey then grabbed and held her close to his body trying his best to make her feel better.
"I'm sure you do. You two have been together for a while after all."
"It was nice to feel like I was his mother. It was an experience that I'd thought I'd never have."
"Misty… you're still young. There's plenty of time for you to be a mother."
Misty looked up at Tracey again with a look of extreme sadness and then began to cry even harder.
"You don't understand Tracey! I'm never going to be a mother! EVER!"
"W-why do you say that?"
"You see… when I was real little… I became sick. Really sick… I became diagnosed with Uterine Cancer."
Tracey's eyes opened wide with shock.
"They were able to save my life… However they removed everything from my body that would allow me to have children. I never even had a period before. That's why I was so happy when Togepi came into my life. He made me feel something that I thought I would never be able to feel. But now… he's gone.
She laid her head on Tracey's chest trying hard to stop her tears.
"I'm so sorry…" he said to her. "I had no idea you weren't able to have kids…"
"It's not your fault. It's a secret I hid from everyone. Not even Ash and Brock know this, not that there would be any reason to tell them."
"You know… there are other options. There are a lot of orphan children like you and me who need homes. There's no reason you can't adopt a child. Once you're ready maybe you and m- I mean you can look into it."
"Adoption…? I really hadn't thought of that…"
"Well just think about it a little. There's no hurry. Like I said, there's plenty of time to become a parent."
"You know what… you're right. Maybe I will consider adoption, just like I adopted Togepi."
"I don't see why not."
"Tracey thank you…" she said as she hugged him tightly. "I'm glad that you woke up when you did. I feel a lot better know." She then started to smile. "It was nice to talk about this to someone."
"It's no problem. I love you very much and I'd do anything to make you feel better."
Misty then blushed.
"You really mean that?"
"Yes… No girl has ever made me feel this way before. I feel that I can tell you anything and you won't find me weird."
"I feel the same way about you… I don't think I could ever tell that secret to Ash… or any other guy for that matter…" She then kissed Tracey on the cheek. "I love you too…"
The two looked at each other lovingly and were about to kiss once more. However they became surprised and stopped when they heard Professor Oak walking by. When he saw the light on in Misty's room he was a bit suspicious.
"What are you two doing?"
"Uh nothing!" they said together.
"We just both woke up and were bored so…" Tracey said but then didn't know what else.
"So we were just talking about… um… Psyduck! Yeah. I think that your advice is really going to help me get him to swim finally."
"Really…? Well it's very late and you to should be in bed. Your OWN beds."
"Yes sir! Right away!" the two of them said.
Misty lied down and threw the blankets over her while Tracey shuffled out of the room and into his own. Professor Oak then went back to bed as well.
The next morning, Tracey was awoken when the sunlight came through the window and hit his face. Groggy, he sat up and rubbed his eyes with his arm and then yawned. Just then, Marill jumped on Tracey's bed happily.
"Marill! Marill!" she said smiling.
"Oh hey Marill. Say you look a lot better than yesterday. Do you feel better?"
"Marill!" she agreed.
She then hopped off the bed and then by the basket she slept in.
"Marill! Marill!"
"Huh? What is it?" Tracey looked of the left side of his bed and looked at Marill. That's when he noticed that there was a small blue egg in the basket. Tracey then gasped. "Oh my gosh!"
He immediately jumped out of his bed and then crouched down to have a look at the egg.
"M-marill? Is this yours?"
"Marill!" she nodded.
"So I guess this is why you were acting so strange." He then smiled and turned to his pokémon and patted her on the head. "Congratulations Marill!"
"Marill!"
Tracey then left his room with the basket in hand wanting to show the egg to Misty and Professor Oak.
"Hey Professor! Misty! You gotta come see this!"
Misty and Professor Oak left there rooms still half asleep where they were met by an ecstatic Tracey.
"Tracey… What is it?" Professor Oak said grumpily.
"Yeah, what's all the excitement for?" asked Misty.
"You're not going to believe this! Marill laid an egg!"
"What!?" the two said.
"Here look!" he said as he presented the basket to them.
"Well I'll be… So I guess Marill wasn't sick after all." said Professor Oak.
"It's so cute!" said Misty.
"I'm so happy for Marill." said Tracey.
"Meet me downstairs." Professor Oak told Tracey. "I'm going to get an egg case."
After everything was over, everyone was now in the living room admiring the egg that now sat in the case.
"It's a very nice egg Tracey." Professor Oak said. "I'm sure we'll have a very healthy baby pokémon on our hands real soon."
"It's so beautiful…" Misty complimented again. "You must be very proud Marill."
"Ma Marill!" she said happily. She was sitting in Tracey's lap.
"I know I'm proud of you." said Tracey as he smiled.
"Yes, but now we beg the question on what to do with it. Are you going to keep it as one of your pokémon Tracey?" asked the professor.
"Um… I'm not sure yet."
"Well you take some time to think about it. I have some research papers to go through.
Professor Oak then left the room.
"Why wouldn't you want to keep it?" Misty asked.
"Well it's not that I don't want to. It's just I don't know the first thing about raising a pokémon from an egg."
"I'd hate to see you let it go…"
"Say um… Misty?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you like to have it?"
"Wha? ME!?"
"Yeah, I mean you certainly have a lot of experience with baby pokémon. I'd think you'd be a great trainer for it."
"But… I…. I mean that egg belongs to you and Marill."
"I don't mind. And a bet Marill would agree that you'd take great care of it. Don't cha Marill."
"Marill mar!" said Marill in agreement.
"Look, I realize this egg could never replace your Togepi, but after what you told me last night, I think that this would be the best thing for you and the egg."
"Oh Tracey…" she said while beginning to cry. "I don't know what to say…"
"Say that you'd take it…" he said gently. "I can't think of anyone else I'd rather see caring for this egg but you…"
"Tracey… Yes… yes I will." She then hugged Tracey tightly. "Thank you so much… This means the world to me. And I promise that I'll give that egg the love and attention it disserves."
"I know you will…" He then kissed her forehead.
"And thank you as well Marill." She then picked up Marill and kissed her on the head. "I promise to bring your baby over as much as I can to see you. And maybe you and Tracey can come to the gym to see it."
"Marill…" She nodded to Misty in compliance and thanks.
