Eddie waved his hand and said to everyone: "Tonight I will show you my skills and make a delicious meal for everyone!"
"Shana~" Great!
"Woo woo~" I agree!
"Hey~" Looking forward to it!
All three Pokémon cheered at the same time.
Since there were still quite a few dishes left over from yesterday, Eddie used them to prepare a Chinese meal from his previous life for everyone.
Due to the limitations of ingredients and seasonings, and the fact that he hadn't made the dish in many years, the food Eddie made was only average in taste, but everyone still enjoyed it.
On the one hand, it's a great atmosphere for a family to get together and have a meal, making them feel happy. On the other hand, the food is new to everyone, as it's the first time for them to try it.
Everyone was eating and chatting in a lively atmosphere. Just then, the Helioptile suddenly shouted loudly, which scared everyone.
"Woo~" What are you screaming about!
The Popplio has always been at odds with the Helioptile, so he was the first to speak out and accuse it.
Whoosh~
Ignoring the Popplio, the Helioptile quickly climbed from the chair to the table and appeared next to the incubator containing the Pokémon Egg.
"Hey beep~Hey beep~"
The Helioptile pointed at the Pokémon Egg in the incubator and kept shouting.
"You said you saw it glowing just now?" Eddie asked.
"Hey, beep, hey, beep~" The Helioptile nodded frantically.
"Woo~" Where is the light? Why can't I see it?
The Popplio interrupted from the side.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey~" Really, I really saw it!
Normally, the Helioptile would ignore the provocations of the Popplio, but today it was a little anxious and hurriedly defended itself.
Eddie quickly comforted it and said, "I believe you. Maybe this Pokémon Egg will hatch. After all, we have taken it over for two months."
"Hey beep~Hey beep~" Yes, definitely!
At this moment, a white light flashed on the Pokémon Egg again. This time, not only did the Helioptile see it, but Eddie, Selene, and the Popplio also saw it clearly.
"Hey, beep~ Hey, beep~" The Helioptile jumped and danced excitedly.
"Okay, okay, we've all seen it." Eddie said with a smile, "It looks like this Pokémon Egg is really about to hatch, so why don't we take it out of the incubator first!"
"Hey~"
The Helioptile nodded heavily, then quickly pressed the switch button of the incubator and slowly took the Pokémon Egg out of it.
Looking at the cautious look of the Helioptile, Eddie said with a smile: "It seems that you like this new partner who has not yet hatched."
Helioptile patted the Pokémon Egg gently and nodded shyly.
At this time, the Pokémon Egg lit up again, and it was even stronger than before.
"Helioptile, put the Pokémon Egg in the middle of the table and we can eat while watching." Eddie suggested.
"Hey~"
Helioptile nodded and carried the Pokémon Egg to the middle of the table. Selene also considerately added a soft cushion for it.
So the family ate and chatted while waiting for the birth of the new member.
As time goes by, the frequency of the light on the Pokémon Egg becomes higher and higher, and the brightness of the light becomes stronger and stronger.
But it didn't seem to be in a hurry to be born. Everyone had finished dinner, the table was cleared, and the dishes were washed, but it still hadn't been born.
The Popplio was getting a little impatient waiting, and he lay on the table and complained, "How long will it take for it to come out? Why is it taking so long?"
Eddie said helplessly: "How can you rush this? The birth of a baby must be slow. Maybe your birth was even slower than it!"
As soon as Eddie finished speaking, the dark green Pokémon Egg suddenly shone brightly, and the strong milky white light enveloped the entire egg.
When the light faded, a little creature about 20 centimeters tall appeared in front of everyone. It had gray-green rocky skin, a long blunt horn on its head, and a red diamond-shaped scale on its abdomen. It looked like a small dinosaur.
Larvitar!
Seeing this Pokémon, Eddie was ecstatic. He didn't expect that a quasi-legendary baby would actually hatch! Three Legendary Birds, thank you!
The newborn Larvitar looked blankly at everyone surrounding it. Not only was it not afraid, it glared at Eddie and the others one by one. It had a very bad temper, but was also very cute. Eddie took a step forward, opened his arms, and said to little Larvitar with a smile: "Little baby, congratulations on your birth. Come, let your brother hold you."
"Yo~"
The moment Eddie stretched out his hand, little Larvitar slapped his hand away with an expression that said, "Don't get close to me."
"The little guy is quite fierce." Eddie said embarrassedly, and then took out a Berry and handed it to the Larvitar, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat it?"
When Eddie's plan failed, he came up with another one.
Larvitar stared at the Berry for more than ten seconds, then looked up at Eddie, silently took the Berry, and ate it up in two bites, without even a core left.
After eating, it paused and looked at Eddie with a hesitant expression.
"What's wrong?" Eddie tried his best to look gentle.
Larvitar hesitated for a moment, then silently extended his short hands towards Eddie again.
"Are you still not full?" Eddie asked tentatively.
"Yo~" Larvitar nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Eddie quickly took out a few more Berries and placed them in front of little Larvitar. Little Larvitar immediately picked up one and started eating it impatiently.
Soon all the Berries on the tree were eaten up. Larvitar looked at Eddie again. This time, there was no longer the previous vigilance and ferocity in his eyes, but a hint of expectation.
The baby is hungry, and the baby also eats lots~
"The little guy is such a eater!" Eddie exclaimed, but his hands were still very obedient and he took out the Berries.
Little Larvitar is really a big eater. Although he is less than 20 centimeters tall, he has eaten a lot of Berries in a short while. His little stomach is simply a bottomless pit. He eats so many Berries but there is no change at all.
Eddie now seriously suspects that the three Legendary Birds are afraid that this little guy will eat up all their belongings in the future, so they can't wait to send it to someone else?
The little guy was just born. After eating and drinking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the table.
"Hey~ Take it to the room and let it sleep."
As he spoke, Eddie was about to reach out to hug little Larvitar, but the first time he hugged him, the little guy didn't move at all; the second time, the little guy stood up, but Eddie put him down again.
"Is this thing a bit heavy?" Eddie said in confusion.
"Hey beep~Hey beep~"
The Helioptile also tried to hug the Larvitar, but failed as expected. Its small body was not much bigger than the Larvitar.
"Let me try again!" Eddie said again.
This time he finally picked him up, but his face flushed red, and he walked with one step at a time, and it was with great difficulty that he finally brought little Larvitar to the room.
"Oh~ I'm so tired!" Eddie said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
After settling Larvitar, Eddie said to the other three, "Today is the time to light up the hidden energy circuits again. Let's go to bed after we finish! Who will go first today?"
"Hey, beep! Hey, beep!" The Helioptile was the first to raise his hand!
"Okay, then the Helioptile will start today."
After saying that, he took the three Pokémon to the room he built specifically to light up the hidden energy circuits. After the Helioptile lay down on the bed in the middle of the room, Eddie started to work.
The first step is to inject anesthetic into the Helioptile to make it feel painless.
Eddie had learned the injection technique from Nurse Joy and spent a long time practicing, so the Helioptile lost consciousness with almost no feeling.
Then you can start lighting up the hidden energy circuit.
After several years of running-in, Eddie was already very familiar with the energy circuit in the body of the Helioptile and was very adept at operating it, so he completed the work quickly.
Helioptile is the last of the three Pokémon to light up its hidden energy circuit. Except for Selene, whose progress is slow because its hidden energy circuit is too complicated, Helioptile's progress is still some distance away from that of Popplio.
After the Helioptile was done, Eddie took it aside to rest, then looked at Selene and Popplio and said, "Who will go next?"
Selene took a step forward without hesitation.
Now Eddie has gradually reduced the use of electromagnetic waves by the Helioptile to assist in lighting up the hidden energy circuits, and has gradually replaced electromagnetic waves with anesthetics.
Although electromagnetic waves are effective, their shielding effect on pain is not as good as anesthetics, and sometimes the pain will still remain, so there is naturally a risk. Now that he is not poor, there is no need to settle for second best, so it is safer to use anesthetics.
Soon the Selene also finished.
Finally, it was the Popplio, who lay down on the bed obediently, closed his eyes, and remained motionless, as if he was willing to do whatever you wanted.
Eddie always has a fixed plan for lighting up the Pokémon's hidden energy circuits. He only lights up that many each time, neither too much nor too little, which neither puts a burden on the Pokémon nor ensures efficiency.
After completing the task for the Popplio today, Eddie was surprised to find that there was only a little bit of its hidden energy circuit left, which was less than one-fifth of the next amount.
How about lighting up all of them today? It wouldn't make any difference if I adjusted the task load occasionally.
So Eddie persisted and lit up all the remaining ones.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but at the moment when the hidden energy circuits of the Popplio were all lit up, Eddie seemed to see the entire energy circuit of the Popplio glowing slightly, and the original energy surging inside seemed to be flashing with light, like the Milky Way in the starry sky, very beautiful!
After all the hidden energy circuits were lit up, they were perfectly integrated into the entire energy circuit.
After the Popplio was finished, the Pokémon gradually recovered from anesthesia.
"How do you feel?" Eddie asked.
"Hey~" Same as before, no special feeling.
The Helioptile replied.
Selene nodded.
Hearing this, Eddie looked at the Popplio and asked, "Popplio, what about you? Your hidden energy circuits have all been lit up!"
"Woo~"
The Popplio was about to answer, but as soon as it opened its mouth, it scared everyone because its voice changed a lot, and the timbre became clearer and brighter, making people feel like listening to their first love singing.
The Popplio was also frightened by itself and quickly covered its mouth with its hands.
(°□°) Whose voice is this?
"This may be a change caused by all the hidden energy circuits being lit up. It shouldn't be a bad thing." Eddie explained.
After hearing this, the Popplio finally released his hands that were covering his mouth.
"Woooo ..."
It began to speak tentatively, and its voice indeed became very pleasant. Eddie himself felt that when he heard the voice of the Popplio, it was like someone handing you a bottle of cold drink on a hot summer day when you had just finished exercising and were sweating profusely.
That feeling is so refreshing!
It's a spiritual enjoyment.
"Why don't we go outside and try it to see if the change in your voice will affect your skills!" Eddie suggested.
"Woo~"
The Popplio nodded in agreement. It was not used to the change in its voice, so he hoped that he could understand this change as soon as possible.
Everyone walked out of the house together, chose a vacant space, and the Popplio stepped forward and began to sing.
The first skill it uses is Sparkling Aria.
As the beautiful singing sounded, the air began to vibrate violently, as if it would explode at any time, but Eddie and the others were mesmerized by the singing.
Bang!
The violent vibration of the air indeed caused a powerful explosion. The huge explosion successfully brought Eddie and the others who were immersed in the singing back to their senses.
Looking at the huge pit in the distance that was blown out by the Sparkling Aria, Eddie asked in disbelief: "Popplio, did you do this?"
The Popplio itself was also surprised. It had never expected that its voice could have such a powerful effect on the Sparkling Aria. But becoming stronger was a good thing, so it proudly puffed out its chest.
"Yes, it's me!"
Eddie rubbed the Popplio's head and praised it, "Not bad, not bad, it seems that lighting up all the hidden energy circuits is really powerful! Do you want to try other skills?"
"Woo~" Okay!
The Popplio nodded heavily. The next skill it tried was Sing. However, as soon as it opened its mouth, Eddie and the others immediately began to feel their eyelids getting heavy, so Eddie quickly shouted:
"Stop, let's forget about this skill. We can try it again when we have a chance." Before they had finished trying out other skills, everyone fell asleep due to the singing.
At this time, Eddie suddenly thought of something, so he asked Popplio:
"Popplio, your hidden energy circuits have all been lit up. Evolution should have no effect now. Do you want to choose to evolve?"
Hearing Eddie's words, the Popplio's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? Can I really evolve?"
The Popplio has wanted to evolve for a long time. If Eddie hadn't told it that evolving too early might affect its future growth and asked it not to limit itself to the present, it would have evolved into a Brionne long ago.
All Popplio hope to evolve into beautiful, elegant, and powerful Brionne as soon as possible! This is their instinctive pursuit engraved in their genes.
"Of course you can. If you want to evolve, just take off the Everstone on your body." Eddie replied.
As he finished speaking, the Popplio quickly took off the Everstone hanging around his neck and threw it hard on the ground, as if he had some deep hatred for the stone.
Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?
Eddie silently picked up the Everstone and put it in his pocket: Why are you throwing it on the ground? You can give it to Larvitar in the future!
As the Everstone was taken off, colorful light began to emerge from the body of the Popplio. In the light, its body gradually became taller and larger, and its shape also changed to a certain extent.
The Helioptile and Selene couldn't help but hold their breath and watched the evolution process of the Popplio intently without blinking.
For all Pokémon, evolution is a sacred and solemn ritual.
"BRIONNEEE~"
As the colorful light dissipated, the Popplio let out a happy cry.
No, it should be said that it is the Brionne!
Compared to the voice of the Popplio, the voice of the Brionne has a hint of maturity, but not much.
"I finally evolved!"
The Brionne looked at its new form with curiosity.
Compared with the Popplio, the skin color of the Brionne has become much lighter, becoming closer to the color of the sea. Its eyes have become more charming, its two ears have become two small braids, and it is wearing a layered little skirt.
In short, it's cute!
"Brionne, congratulations!"
Everyone came forward and expressed their blessings to the Brionne.
It was just enough time for everyone to go back to their rooms to sleep. Tonight, the Helioptile did not go to Eddie's room. It went to little Larvitar to accompany him.
The next morning, shortly after dawn, Eddie felt someone pulling his hair.
"Hey, beep~Hey, beep~Hey, beep~" Wake up, wake up, Eddie, wake up quickly!
"What happened? Was it an earthquake?" Eddie opened his eyes with a splitting headache.
It took a little longer to light up the hidden energy circuit for the Popplio last night, and he stayed with it until very late to test its skills. Eddie had been thinking about sleeping a little longer this morning, but he didn't expect to be woken up at this time!
This is really... too uncomfortable!
"Eddie, something bad has happened. Larvitar is eating dirt in the garden! Go and take care of it!" The Helioptile kept urging Eddie.
Just like that, Eddie was dragged into the yard by the Helioptile in a daze, and sure enough, he saw the Larvitar digging soil in the flower bed with his butt raised and stuffing it into his mouth.
The few flowers and plants that Selene had planted had long since been dug up by it.
[TL: DEATH]
"Hey beep~hey beep~hey beep~"
The Helioptile pointed at the Larvitar and screamed. It really couldn't understand why the Larvitar would eat dirt, even though it had already fed it a lot of Berries in the morning!
"Okay, okay, be quiet, I'll go ask." Eddie comforted the Helioptile.
"Larvitar, what are you doing?"
Eddie was fully awake by this time. He walked to the flower bed and asked in a soft voice, while comforting himself in his heart that the child had just been born and he should be more tolerant of it.
The Larvitar was very agile. When it heard Eddie's voice, it immediately stopped digging, kicked its two short legs lightly, and instantly flipped over the edge of the flower bed, holding a piece of dirt in its hand, as if asking Eddie:
Do you want to eat?
Eddie asked, "Is this delicious?" He suddenly remembered that as a Rock-type Pokémon, Larvitar needed some rocks as food to meet the needs of its physical development during its growth.
Larvitar shook his head.
"Yo~ Yo~ Not very delicious."
Okay, Eddie did not blame Larvitar. He thought that it might be because its body sent it a signal of need, so it acted like this instinctively. He planned to go to school and ask Senior Sister Zhenli about how to arrange the diet for Larvitar, and also customize some energy cubes for Larvitar.
Eddie threw away the dirt in its hand and said to it, "We won't eat this. I'll make you something more delicious later."
"Huh?" Really?
Larvitar looked at Eddie steadily.
"Of course it's true!" Eddie assured.
All right! Little Larvitar jumped out of the flower bed cheerfully, then walked away with his hands behind his back, staggering.
Seeing this, the Helioptile quickly chased after it.
Eddie was no longer sleepy at this moment, so he simply did not go back to his room to sleep. Instead, he chose to go out for a run, then go home to wash up, have breakfast, and then go to school with his schoolbag.
