Chapter 380: Jinghe: I Shouldn't Have Gotten My Hopes Up Too Soon!
Chapter 380: Jinghe: I Shouldn't Have Gotten My Hopes Up Too Soon!
"I brought you some desserts."
On the lawn of Random Town, a picnic blanket was spread out, and at Jinghe's signal, Gramps produced a neatly packaged cake.
These were all made by the Love Manager Sister and Creamy Frost together.
Not far from the blanket, Daye was sprawled awkwardly on the grass.
"Hmm~"
Seeing these cakes that looked so delicious just by appearance, Sharon's eyes lit up.
Not only her, but her Pokemon were also captivated.
Of course, Jinghe's little ones were also ready.
Seeing this, the little ones couldn't wait to try them and stretched out their claws.
"Wait a moment," Jinghe shouted sternly.
"Raaaww!" Lie Yao Lu Qian reluctantly retracted its claw.
But soon, it realized something.
Wait a minute, why am I listening to him? Jinghe patted the small white creature beside her.
"Woof!"
A cold breath was gently exhaled, and all the desserts and cream instantly became even more crystal clear, emitting a faint milky fragrance.
The Love Manager and Creamy Frost had specifically instructed that these desserts would taste better if slightly frozen.
"You can start now," Jinghe said.
"Let's dig in!" Sharon, also a bit impatient, clapped her hands and smiled.
Soon.
All the little ones, including Sharon, closed their eyes.
It was clear that they were all captivated by the Love Manager's and Creamy Frost's desserts.
A gentle evening breeze blew, bending the grass and bringing with it a soft, pleasant fragrance.
Indeed, Random Town was a great place for retirement. A few Meripie, left to roam freely, approached slowly after catching a whiff of the desserts.
After finishing the desserts, the little ones started playing on the grass.
"Hngaa~"
Gramps patted the Swift Dragon's belly and couldn't stop grinning at Lie Yao Lu Qian.
Come on, Swift Dragon, give it a dance! "Huh? Σ(дlll)"
Swift Dragon looked at Lie Yao Lu Qian's fierce expression and quietly swallowed.
"Raaaww!!"
I can't take it anymore! Do you think I don't know how to dance?
Lie Yao Lu Qian roared, its aura intensifying, and a crimson energy burst forth from its body, making a clanging sound.
Kenbu!
No problem, Kenbu is also a dance.
Gramps smiled triumphantly and suddenly extended its claw, and a shadow separated from its body, then quickly dove into Lie Yao Lu Qian's shadow.
Under Lie Yao Lu Qian's slightly astonished gaze, the shadow that had separated from Gramps flew out of Lie Yao Lu Qian's shadow, transforming into several petite and adorable bats that landed in Gramps's hand.
"Hngaa~"
Power!
"Raaaww?"
Lie Yao Lu Qian's confusion deepened.
What's going on? It felt like it had just performed Kenbu and gained two layers of Attack boost, but as the tiny bats flew back to Gramps, its Attack boost was reduced to just one layer.
It was as if one layer had been stolen!
"Shadow?"
Hiding in the shade of a nearby tree, Maxado was licking the dessert box, not caring about the cream on its face, and vigorously rubbed its eyes.
No way, did it really learn it?
Although it was not very proficient in using it, and the way it was used was quite different from its own, Gramps had indeed copied it in its own way, combining a lot of strange moves.
Maxado felt that if Gramps were given a little more time, it might even be able to learn its signature move, Shadow Snatch.
"Shadow, Shadow?!~(>_<~)"
Oh no, did I become a substitute?!
Sharon also noticed this scene.
She looked at Jinghe in surprise, "Is that Gramps's move?"
Jinghe was also a bit surprised.
Although Gramps had been learning with his help and advice, to be honest, he never thought that Gramps could actually copy it.
Is this the power of Gramps, the Copy Ninja Kakashi?
"I don't think so," Jinghe said uncertainly.
"I'm starting to understand some of Daye's words."
"What words?"
"Jinghe's Pokemon are just too powerful." Sharon covered her mouth and smiled.
Jinghe: "."
"Actually, aside from the little fat one, the others are fine."
"Hmm~~˙(`)˙"
The Swift Dragon, enveloped in white light, flew swiftly through the air like an arrow.
An aura surrounded its body, making its speed seem incredibly fast.
"It's quite reasonable," Sharon said with a hint of teasing.
Jinghe: "."
Ice Nine-Tails and Fire Ibu lay in Sharon's arms, enjoying her massage, leaving Jinghe to keep Flower Rock company.
"Flower Rock is still the cutest."
"Ssshh~o(////▽////)q"
On the other side.
Bear Pupil took over Gigaforg's "position" and, after sparring with Lucario, sat down with Charcoal Little Servant.
Charcoal Little Servant was learning from Jinghe, using Aura to massage the Pokemon Egg.
"Koo?"
"Luka~"
Lucario also sat down and joined Charcoal Little Servant and Bear Pupil in using Aura to massage, becoming part of the "massage squad."
"Raaaww?"
Lie Yao Lu Qian also noticed the Pokemon Egg and curiously approached.
The three little ones immediately made room for it.
"Raaaww~~"
Looking at the slightly shaking Pokemon Egg, Lie Yao Lu Qian showed a hint of surprise.
"Lie Yao Lu Qian is surprised by this little one," Sharon translated.
"Surprised," Jinghe couldn't help but want to wipe his forehead.
"Are you sure what kind of Pokemon egg this is?"
Jinghe shrugged, "To be honest, I don't know yet."
"Maybe you can ask Dr. Shanya BoShi for help.
"Sharon suggested.
When it comes to Pokemon eggs and egg groups, Professor Kaki is an authority on the subject, having studied extensively with Professor Oak.
But Professor Shanya also spent a significant amount of time researching alongside Professor Oak and Professor Kaki, so he has some knowledge in this area.
Furthermore, Professor Shanya's main research focus is Pokemon evolution, which also involves some knowledge of Pokemon eggs.
"That's a good suggestion."
Knowing the Pokemon inside the egg earlier would allow them to prepare in advance, such as by providing a birth gift to enhance their bond.
"However, based on Lie Yao Lu Qian's reaction, it's highly likely to be a Legendary Pokemon or a Ground-type Pokemon," Sharon whispered, resting her chin on her knee.
The Pokemon inside the egg is growing, and its perception is relatively clearer.
Legendary? Ground-type?
Could it be Yuujiras or Yuan Longsha?
They were both Pokemon that Satoshi released or left to roam.
However, neither Yuujiras nor Yuan Longsha are easy to raise.
As a Dragon-type Legendary, Yuan Longsha requires a significant investment, as Jinghe knows from his experience with raising a Swift Dragon.
When the Minilong was first captured, it was in a state of nutritional excess, so the costs weren't too high. But after evolving into a Swift Dragon, its appetite... and Yuujiras is even more demanding.
It's said that Yuujiras needs to consume an entire mountain to gather enough energy for evolution.
And it can't just eat dirt; it needs to eat a mine!
The mere thought of it is chilling.
"So, how long will Daye sleep?"
Jinghe was eager to find out what Pokemon it was.
He later asked Shin Niu about it, but she said she had chosen the egg with the most potential from Mr. Fuji's main Pokemon's offspring and wasn't entirely sure herself.
Jinghe had initially held onto some hope, but now, after hearing Sharon's words, he realized he needed to prepare in advance.
"It's fine, it's the same whether we carry it or not," Sharon assured him.
On the evening of January 7th.
In the Sinnoh Region, at Zhensha Town.
This is a sandy town adjacent to the ocean.
Zhensha Town's beach is famous throughout the Sinnoh Region, and on the hillside next to the beach stands Professor Shanya's research institute.
"Jinghe, it's been a while."
Professor Shanya, dressed neatly and with his hair combed to a glossy shine, smiled and shook Jinghe's hand.
"Professor Shanya, it's an honor to trouble you," Jinghe said politely.
Professor Shanya waved his hand dismissively, took a piece of cake from a nearby shelf and popped it into his mouth, then held a plate and asked Jinghe and Sharon if they wanted some.
Both declined.
"Hngga~~"
G
Professor Shanya didn't mind; instead, he smiled happily.
He loved sharing food and enjoyed seeing others with hearty appetites.
"The desserts at Jing He Cafe are particularly delicious; you should consider placing an order, Professor," Sharon said, knowing Professor Shanya's sweet tooth.
"Oh?"
Professor Shanya showed interest.
"I'll definitely give it a try when I have the chance."
His institute has a high demand for sweets due to his influence.
Securing this order would be a significant income for Jinghe.
Jinghe secretly made a heart gesture towards Sharon.
Sharon's cheeks flushed slightly.
"Did you encounter the Unknown Totems today?"
The group returned to the topic at hand.
"Yes, at Random Ruins," Jinghe replied.
Then, they briefly described what had happened inside Random Ruins.
"Unknown Totems are likely Pokemon that cannot evolve. When they appear alone, they don't have very strong abilities, but when two or more gather, mysterious things can happen," Professor Shanya continued with a smile.
"But in this regard, your grandmother and you might have more to say than me."
"I've already sent it to my grandmother," Sharon nodded.
"We came today mainly to ask you to examine the Pokemon egg."
"A Pokemon egg?"
"Guka~~"
Charcoal Little Servant, holding the Pokemon egg, skipped over excitedly.
Professor Shanya's interest was piqued, and he took out a magnifying glass to examine it carefully.
As Jinghe watched, Professor Shanya studied the patterns on the egg, saying slowly:
"One of the parents is a Dragon-type Pokemon."
Each Pokemon egg has unique patterns due to the differences in the mother, father, and their bloodlines, so it takes a highly skilled person to identify them further.
Hearing that one of the parents was a Dragon-type Pokemon, Jinghe felt as if a tiny claw had reached into his pocket.
After a long while, Professor Shanya continued, "I can't confirm with 100% certainty, but I'd say there's a 60% chance it's a Yuujiras, a 30% chance it's a Yuan Longsha, and a 10% chance it's another Dragon-type or Ground-type Pokemon."
"Could it be a Desert Dragonfly?" Jinghe asked tentatively.
"It's possible, but not very likely," Professor Shanya nodded.
Jinghe's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled.
It couldn't be a Kyurem, could it?
Seeing Jinghe's expression, Sharon whispered, "The funding will be approved soon."
Jinghe nodded stiffly.
"I still have some; you can borrow it if you want," she offered.
Indeed, it had to be Sharon!
He had gotten too excited too soon!
