A tale of sex, lies, and violence in the world of Pokemon. Or ... um, something like that? Consider it PG13 for violence and some sexual references. And pardon a few typoes, it seems the Nanoisms can't wait for November.

Anyway, this excerpt is related to my 2010 Nanowrimo. Here, a young Vaporeon is suddenly beseeched by a female Luxray to care for her baby Shinx egg. What would cause a mother lioness to give up her only child to the whims of another species?

There are also a total of seven Pokemon species referred to throughout this excerpt. Can you name them all?
