The Birth of Sugar

**The Birth of Sugar** (Japanese: *Welcome, Shugadorimu! It's The Big Day Today!*) is the 21st episode of season 1 of Pokemon Legends.

## Summary/Synopsis

*It's a big day for everyone today - today is the birth of Dragonet's new baby and everyone is excited! However, she is also terrified at the same time and is too afraid to push... but with some encouragement, she finally gets to meet her baby, who she names "Shugadorimu" or just "Sugar" for short.*

## Plot

By now, Dragonet can't pass off her contractions as a stomachache anymore and knows that she's going into labor. Pudding wants to help, but Nijiko kicks her and Carrot Cake out of the hotel room so they aren't a distraction. She puts her on a towel just in case there's a mess, and also kicks Rotom out of the room as well.

Pudding, Carrot Cake, and Rotom all demand to be let in and bang on the door screaming, not understanding why they were kicked out. Momoka calmly tells them that Dragonet is going into labor and is in a lot of pain, so she needs some peace and quiet without distractions. Rotom says it thought Pokémon laid eggs, but Momoka clarifies that mammalian Pokémon only lay eggs in captivity, and that mammalian ones give live birth in the wild, but Ninja Dragonets who are fish never lay eggs at all even though they always live in captivity. Pudding wants to help her mom, but Momoka says Nijiko has this handled.

In the room, Nijiko tries to keep Dragonet calm but she is terrified to push. She says it hurts too way much and doesn't want to push. Spritzee says that the baby is going to come out whether she pushes or not, but Yume says that's not helpful. Yume tries putting on some relaxing music, and it helps a bit. Pinkie and Bluey use Aromatherapy to keep her calm which helps. By now, Nijiko checks and the baby is starting to come out. She urges her to push and pets her head to reassure her, and she starts to push but screams from the pain even though she is also excited to soon meet her baby.

The towel is soaked with blood and Dragonet's backside is covered in blood, but the girls reassure her and tell her to keep pushing. Outside the room, Pudding and Carrot Cake repeatedly scream that they want to be let in and see what's going on. She continues screaming as she strains as hard as she can to finish the birth. Finally, the baby comes out, who is pastel pink with dark pink fins and eyes. Nijiko cleans both of them off and hands the baby to her exhausted mother. She decides to name her Shugadorimu or Sugar for short.

Later, Dragonet happily hugs her new baby. The girls leave the room to give them time to bond and get some much-needed rest after how much she had to go through to have her, turning off the light and leaving for now.
