>lots of people around here illegally breed Scrafty which are cute and usually manageable as Scraggy but quickly become a problem after evolving due to aggressiveness
>the Scrafty are usually used for illegal battles, usually to the death and the species overall has gained an unsavory reputation
>older sister's boyfriend is one of these breeders
>I'm at his house when his newest batch of eggs were hatching
>one of the eggs was assumed to be a dud, but hatches lasts
>the scraggy is smaller than the others, and looks sickly and frail
>sister's boyfriend says it's a runt and plans to get rid of it, whether that meant just letting it die or something worst I don't know because I unthinkingly said that I'd take it
>he told me it was going to die anyway but let me have it
>knew I'd be in big trouble if mom found out but kept it under my bed and nursed it to health as best as I could
>it slowly gained strength every day
>learned that it was male and decided to call him Marshal
>mom eventually found out but after some begging allowed me to keep him
>Marshall's now a full grown Scrafty, still smaller than the usual but healthy as can be, and not quite as aggressive as the norm
>I've won a few (legal) tournaments with him
