Chapter Text
Petrel gets his first Pokémon the same way everyone in his family does. The eggs from his grandmother's ditto.
Ditto is a prankster that way. It seems to amuse his grandmother, which means the rest of his family has to live with the disorientation of realising you are not talking to the person you thought you were more than other families out there. He presumes.
No one is really sure where she got it. Or why. All they know is that Ditto has questionable taste in partners.
Oh, his grandmother isn't wrong either, sometimes some really rare Pokémon get born from those eggs.
Petrel is a nice person. Sometimes he uses that reputation to get away with things he shouldn't.
If he says he has permission to give eggs to his friends, does it really matter if he obtained the permission from the ditto? And can they truly find out if he knew that after the fact?
Besides, it's not a theft so much as it is a liberation mission.
