Phanpy

Ash had been excited ever since he got his blue Pokemon egg from Mr. and Mrs. Shelby a few days ago. Sure he has had Pokemon eggs before, but it was exciting to see a baby Pokemon hatch from the egg. Right now he was inspecting his egg.
"What Pokemon do you think it is?" Tomo asked Ash.
"I don't know." Ash replied. "But I don't care what Pokemon will come out of this egg. I'll be happy with whatever Pokemon it is." 
"I have to say Ash." Brock said. "This is going to be the fifth time that you'll become a dad. Remember Cubone, Dratini, the two Eevee and the baby Kangaskhan." 
"You're right about that." Ash chuckled.
Suddenly the egg began to glow white which meant that it was going to hatch. Ash took the egg out of the incubator and placed it onto a blanket. Everyone watched in excitement as the egg hatched; the Pokemon was a small blue elephant with red marks.
"It's a Phanpy." Brock said.
"Awesome." Tomo said.
"Ah it's so cute." Misty squealed.
Ash looked Phanpy up on the Pokedex.
"Phanpy, the Long Nose Pokemon. It swings it's long snout around playfully, but because it is so strong, that can be dangerous."
"Hi Phanpy." Ash said. "I'm Ash, your new trainer."
He slowly moved his right hand towards Phanpy to stroke it. He moved it slowly so not to frighten Phanpy. Ash gently tickled Phanpy on the ears and under the chin. Phanpy liked it.
Ash took the Poke Ball off the top of the incubator and enlarged it.
"Okay Phanpy, I'm going to catch you." He said. He tried to return Phanpy to the Poke Ball, but it didn't want to go into the Poke Ball.
"Come on Phanpy." Ash said. "I'll let you out of the Poke Ball again once I've captured you." 
He tried to return Phanpy again, but it dodged the Poke Ball beams again.
"I think Phanpy just wants to stay out and play a bit more." Brock noted.
"Well then we'll let it play for a bit and then I'll try to catch it again later." Ash said.
So the gang spent the rest of the morning playing with the newborn Phanpy. Apparently Phanpy was strong and very energetic for a baby Pokemon and it knew a few moves; it knew Tackle, Defense Curl, Rollout and it had the egg move Ice Shard. Phanpy got along well with Growlithe and Togepi. 
"Phanpy will be a great Pokemon to use in battles." Ash said. "Being a ground type; it will be strong against electric, fire, poison, rock and steel type Pokemon." 
"I can't wait to see it battle either." Tomo said.
After a few hours of playing, the gang decided that it was time to get going. Ash was about to return Phanpy to the Poke Ball, but hit a snag. Team Rocket was in the area and they were after Ash's newly hatched Phanpy; they thought Phanpy would be a great Pokemon for their team. For their efforts, the three were sent flying by a Fire Dragon Roar.
With Team Rocket out of the way, the gang could hit the road again. This time Phanpy did go into the Poke Ball. It relieved Ash that he was being obedient now. So the gang continued their journey with a new friend in tow.
