Beardia chortled. "Humans are fascinating in their own ways," she eventually responded, neither agreeing nor disagreeing that this Lala character spoke oddly.
After she'd confirmed Cheri's pokemon and then Cloud's, their guide gathered the group into a tight circle with the second baby Giratina and Castle standing a few feet back. There was a time before her mega evolution that the Alakazam had enjoyed light exercise like walking, but those days were long gone and she didn't have the patience, or body strength, for it anymore. Teleportation was her method of travel.
"You may feel a bit nauseous," Beardia warned before she shut her eyes. In the space of a breath, a bright red light engulfed the pokemon, and with the release of her next, all 13 disappeared.

The world shifted and lurched for a fraction of a second before Cloud felt his body orientate itself and his feet touch down on dry earth, where just a second ago it'd been cushy grass. With the sun in his eyes, it took him a few seconds longer to see their surroundings but when he finally could Cloud gasped in wonder as they found themselves on the bank of a lake.
"WE MADE IT!" With a whoop and holler, Cloud toddled his way out to the shore. Beardia, watching this, spoke to Cheri, "I'll be back soon. Don't go too far out." She was gone again, taking the babies with her. By the time Cloud turned back to his companions, a yard or so away from the ebbing water, only the usual crew, and the new pokemon awaited him. "Cheri, Blobby, come on!" he urged.

Four eggs now gone, Bell excused herself to find a few more to bring back to their little nest. Towering over the rest, the Onix that hatched from the previous bundle was easily able to keep a watch over Bell as she vanished into the sea of eggs and new hatchlings. After a good amount of time Bell finally returned with 4 eggs in tow. The sour lizard gave her a kind nod upon her return. "Things are going to get crowded when these ones hatch." Bell chuckled. "I just feel it." she added with another chuckle.
Curling her body around the new batch of eggs, Bell was determined to treat them all with as much care as she could. The natural warmth of her body and a serene calmness of the deer and the shade provided by the Onix made their little corner almost like a paradise. After a few minutes it became evident that the atmosphere was a bit to relaxing as everyone, even the sour lizard had fallen asleep. One would wonder how this group could so easily fall asleep with all the noise surrounding the island but that was just how peaceful it was. Even the hatching of the 6th egg didn't seem to disturb the group.
After the glow faded from the hatching egg, a small bunny-like creature was left in its place. Looking around a bit dazed, the bunny gazed over to the large deer. It was taken by wonder by it until its gaze shifted over to the giant rock snake. Hopping over the other eggs and Bell entirely it hopped over to the Onix going around until it spotted another new Pokemon. With that, the 6th hatchling promptly wandered off, leaving only 4 eggs waiting to hatch themselves.
It seemed it would take more than just one egg hatching to wake the group from their slumber. This being nice nap weather it wasn't all that shocking to think about. The atmosphere was more than just relaxing, it was starting to get inviting as some joined in on the nap circle taking what was likely a much needed break. This didn't stop the rest of the island from being as busy as ever as more eggs hatched.
After a few minutes, the small corner was starting to look like a slumber party, minus the party. A fine mixture of human and pokemon workers, fresh hatchlings and even some helpers from trainers like Bell herself had found their own little space to take a little Skitty nap. It wasn't until the eggs Bell's body was curled around began shaking rather wildly did the lizard finally peel open her eyes. Lifting her head in a daze she softly smiled as she saw small cracks start to cover the eggs, but the smile faded a bit when she noticed one of the eggs was missing. That was concerning.
Looking around, there were far more Pokemon than before. Perhaps the hatchling was among them? "Gosh so many others joined us." Bell muttered gazing to her companions she expected to be there when she'd woken up from her nap. "Well, I don't think that little one could of hurt itself where ever it is." She added before returning her gaze to the continuously cracking eggs before her.
As the light from the collection of eggs grew, more sleepers opened their eyes to see what was suddenly blinding them. Bell was enthralled by the sight as she had been the previous time. Perhaps she'd never get used to this sight? A part of her wondered in the back of her mind if it were her own eggs that were hatching would she feel the same or something more? This thought brought her gaze over to her sour lizard friend who had also woken up to watch the spectacle.
As the light faded, Bell gave each of her new hatchlings a smile. They were all relatively small this time, save for the largest of the group a Carvanha. A bit of a snippy youth it didn't seem the least bit interested in Bell or anyone else for that matter. Only one of the 4 seemed particularly interested in sticking around Bell, this being a Larvitar. There was a bit of chatter from the onlookers before things started to settle down and Bell once more was left egg-less. "Would you like to stay with me?" Bell asked, as her gaze rested on the only one who hadn't left her side. It nodded in response gazing between Bell and the Treecko. "Alright, you can stick around." Bell replied with a nod. "For now, stick close to this one while I go and gather some more eggs." Bell instructed as spatted the top of the Larvitar's head. Its gaze shifted for a moment before it seemingly waddled over to the Treecko with a bit of reluctance.
☆ ☆【 Offering a small, reassuring smile towards her acquaintance after handing their egg back over to them for now, Marzipan turned back towards the three most recently hatched Pokemon and heaved a heavy sigh. Trying to bring all of these other children along while chasing after the two runaways was going to be… incredibly difficult, to say the least. But there wasn’t much time to try and look around for a volunteer to take in all of the extras, and the longer she waited, the more difficult it might likely be to track them down… Damn, she was finding herself quickly stuck between a rock and a hard place at this rate…
”Well howdy there. Ya need a helpin’ hand with all this, sugarcube?” a drawling, mature sounding female voice to her left drew the Lopunny’s attention, revealing the source of the voice to be an especially large and tall Arcanine looking down at her with a curious yet somewhat amused look. The big fire dog seemed to be on the older side age-wise as well, judging by the faint grey roots among the peach-colored fur of her cheeks, muzzle, and mane, and the signs of wrinkling present around her warm hazel eyes that gave her a clear ‘senior’ sort of look.
”Ah, wait… How did you get here so quickly?” Marzipan couldn’t help but inquire out of sheer bewilderment, confused by the sudden appearance of this Arcanine that she knew for sure hadn’t been there a moment ago. Surely she would’ve heard the big, thundering footsteps of the dog approaching from many yards away, yet this one had seemingly snuck up out of nowhere.
”Hahaha~ Oh I have my ways, darlin’… But ya still didn’t answer my question, y’know,” the senior Arcanine remarked back with a throaty chuckle, gesturing all around towards the newly hatched Pokemon with a big paw, ”Ya certainly got a pretty impressive gatherin’ goin’ on here, but I can see yer strugglin’ a lil’ with so many of ‘em. How ‘bout I take some of ‘em back to the nursery for ya? Free up some breathin' room n' whatnot?”】☆ ☆

I must be on my guard here: Easter Island Come here, I’ll protect you…: An odd little baby (Meltan), and a growing collection of Pokechildren
☆ ☆【 Marzipan blinked momentarily, regaining her briefly shaken composure as she nodded towards the large fire dog. ”Yes, yes, of course… There’s a couple of them that ended up running away, and, well…” She didn’t explicitly disclose that she’d lost the pair of runaways simply because she’d taken her eyes off of them for a minute, not wanting to make herself look bad or stupid in front of this clearly far more mature Pokemon. However, the Arcanine seemed to have caught on anyways, judging by the way the corners of her mouth quirked up just the slightest bit at the edges.
”Awww, well that’s no problem, hon. Stuff like that happens a lot ‘round these parts, more than ya’d think. This ain’t my first rodeo dealin' with a few runaways, mind ya,” she said with a barking laugh, hazel eyes crinkling a little in amusement, ”Still, I’d be happy to help ya find ‘em if ya’d like, just give me a moment to take back all these others, yeah? Just choose which ones ya wanna keep, n’ the rest’ll be comin’ along with me.”
At that, Marzipan’s brows furrowed as she looked around at all of the Pokemon gathered around. As much as she didn’t want to just give any of them up, she knew that she couldn’t keep them all to take back to Zane. And if she had too many accompanying her at the same time, she would eventually start losing track of them, she wouldn’t want to risk even more of them just running off to Arceus knows where and getting lost. Humming quietly under her breath as she took a moment to deliberate, the Lopunny eventually decided that she’d only keep the odd silver blob for now. ”This one will stay with me for the time being,” she said with an affirming nod as she gestured towards the Meltan that was now clinging closely to her leg.
The Arcanine nodded with a warm smile, about to call the others to come to her before her attention was drawn towards two more of the Lopunny’s eggs that were now also starting to show cracks in their shells. Ah, what impeccable timing, seems she’d have a pretty good-sized lot to take back! 】☆ ☆

I must be on my guard here: Easter Island Come here, I’ll protect you…: An odd little baby (Meltan), and an elderly Arcanine
☆ ☆【 Quickly taking out the pair of hatching eggs from within her blanket pouch, Marzipan placed them down on the ground just in time as their shells burst open. The first of the new babies that hatched was… yet another unusual looking one for quite a few different reasons, in that it sported a fish-like head on top of a body that clearly looked like it was meant to be the hind legs of some sort of unknown species of Pokemon. Which meant that… the head was functionally attached to what should be the tail as the neck of this creature? What sort of Pokemon was this meant to be? Was it even supposed to exist at all? The Lopunny couldn’t exactly put her paw on it, but… something about the way it looked just seemed so… inherently wrong. As if it was some sort of jigsaw puzzle that had been put together poorly and carelessly… The second of the hatchlings was a dwarf-sized Corphish, shaking off bits of speckled shell that still clung to its carapace before it looked up at the pair of Pokemon before it and clicked its claws.
”Want me to take these two back as well?” the Arcanine asked, tilting her head curiously towards the Lopunny in inquiry. Of course, she had a feeling of what the answer already was, but it was only polite to at least check with the hatcher first in case the big rabbit might actually want to keep at least one of them.
Marzipan simply nodded, which was all the dog needed as she flashed a big toothy grin. ”Sure thin’, hon~ I’ll be back in a jiff!” Giving a little wink and with a sudden, brief flash of blue light, the Arcanine was there and then was gone only a moment later, the gathered Pokemon around them and even the Tentacool and Nincada on the Lopunny’s shoulders disappearing as well in the same fashion. Teleport…? Since when could Arcanines of all Pokemon learn how to do that? As far as Marzipan knew, only Abras, their evolutions, and a handful of certain other Psychic-types were capable of teleporting. She’d never seen any other Pokemon outside of those types be able to pull it off, and with such relative ease too. Clearly this Arcanine had a few tricks up her sleeves, she just might have to ask this mysterious elderly dog a bit about what she knew when she returned… 】☆ ☆
(( Order Of Coffee: For clarification, yes, Arcanine was actually capable of learning Teleport via TM according to the Let's Go! games. Don't ask me why, they just do. Don't @ me. ))

I must be on my guard here: Easter Island Come here, I’ll protect you…: An odd little baby (Meltan), and an elderly Arcanine
☆ ☆【 As promised, only a brief few seconds later with another flash of blue light, the senior aged Arcanine reappeared before Marzipan once more. ”Alrighty, hon, the lil’ ones are safely in the care o’ our volunteers, they'll find 'em good homes in due time so don't worry yer pretty lil' head about that~ I hope ya don’t mind me sharin’ some company with ya for the time bein’, n' any other babies ya hatch n’ don’t wanna keep, I can take back anytime. All ya gotta do is ask! Nicely, o' course,” she chimed with a casual grin, lightly pushing a small bunch of eggs towards the Lopunny with a paw as well. ”Also found these for ya, in case ya were runnin’ a lil’ low on eggs to hatch. Trust me, we got a whole lotta these just layin’ around. Like, a lot more than ya'd probably know.”
Well, hatching eggs wasn’t exactly at the forefront of Marzipan’s worries in the moment right now, but at the same time she should still be trying to stay on the task that she’d been sent here to do in the first place. But at least now she had some welcome company to help out with things, the mysterious elderly Arcanine seemed quite capable and knew her way around the place more than well enough. Which the Lopunny could certainly appreciate on top of just having another friendly, reasonable sounding Pokemon to talk to, finally. 】☆ ☆

I must be on my guard here: Easter Island Come here, I’ll protect you…: An odd little baby (Meltan), and an elderly Arcanine
☆ ☆【 Gathering up the bundle of new eggs and getting them nice and settled in her blanket pouch, Marzipan gave a nod and a quiet ‘Thank you’ to the kindly Arcanine. ”Now, let’s go see where our stray pups ended up runnin’ off to, yeah?” Glancing down towards the tiny silver blob still holding onto the Lopunny’s leg, the big dog gave a soft little chuckle, bending herself down on all fours so she wasn’t quite as towering over the youngling. ”Yer welcome to ride on my back if ya’d like, sweetheart~ I don’t mind at all!”
The Meltan seemed to perk up a little at the prospect of a ride, but didn’t immediately jump out from behind its rabbit guardian to approach the dog. Instead, it looked up towards Marzipan with an imploring glint in its sphere-like eye, as if asking ‘Is this really okay?’, to which the Lopunny simply gave a warm smile and a nod. Bending down slightly, Marzipan gently scooped the strange little blob Pokemon into her arms and carefully deposited it onto the Arcanine’s broad back. At least this way, it’d be easier to take the young one along and not have to worry about it trying to keep up with them. With a pleased sounding chirp, the Meltan flattened its ooze-like body a little to make itself nice and comfy amid the fire dog's soft orange-grey fur. ”Thank you so much for all of this, offering to help out and everything. I appreciate it a lot, really...” The dog gave a casual grin at the Lopunny’s earnest words, gesturing towards the expanse of fields with a paw for them to get going so they could walk and talk at the same time.
”Yer much welcome, hon~ It’s really just part o’ the ol’ job, been doin’ this whole rigmarole with helpin’ take care o’ eggs for a good many years now. Though this is the first time things have really been so… well, disorganized ‘round here, ya know?” the Arcanine spoke up, making a bit of small talk as the pair fell in step with each other. They began walking at a steady yet somewhat brisk pace past the grove of berry trees and through the fields of thick, long grass in the general direction the two hatchlings had run off in. 】☆ ☆
