Chapter 5 One Egg
Ash stared intently at the bushes ahead, choosing a Fighting-type Pokémon.
If Ash didn't have a Pokémon of that type at the original time, it wouldn't be selectable in the system.
But he really couldn't remember Ash having any Fighting-type Pokémon.
So he was really looking forward to seeing what would happen.
But after that one sound, the bushes fell silent again.
Left with no other choice, Ash called Pikachu, and the two of them, one Pokémon and one Pokémon, stealthily approached the bushes.
When he opened it, he found something that surprised him greatly.
A blue and white egg.
"How can it be an egg?" Ash carefully picked up the egg and examined it closely.
"Do you know what Pokémon Pikachu is?"
"Pikachu." Pikachu spread its little hands and shook its head to indicate that it didn't know either.
Ash was originally really looking forward to having a Pokémon that could help him with his daily weightlifting routine.
That's why he chose the fighting style.
Alas, how could Pikachu and Weedle understand the pleasure of muscles?
There was nothing Ash could do; since it was an egg, he had no choice but to accept it.
[Ding! New side quest triggered: Newbie Male Mom: Successfully hatched a Pokémon egg (0/1)]
[Reward: The hatched Pokémon's initial affinity with you increases by 10.]
Fortunately, he had cleared out his storage space when he resupplyed in Viridian City earlier.
Then I prepared everything that a trainer should and shouldn't prepare before setting off.
This naturally includes the whole family bucket of eggs.
He bought the most expensive deluxe version.
"Hey new partner, you're lucky to be with me."
Ash placed the newly acquired egg into a deluxe incubator with transparent glass.
For some reason, Ash could always sense a familiar energy emanating from the Pokémon while holding the incubator.
Just holding it brings me great joy; it feels like there's some kind of energy within me resonating with it.
I'm just not sure right now, but it won't hurt. I'll ask Professor Oak for help in the next city.
Without thinking further, Ash took Pikachu and the unknown Pokémon egg back to the camp to reunite with Misty.
After obtaining the new Pokémon egg, Ash headed towards Pewter City.
While completing missions, you can also battle wild Pokémon with Pikachu and Weedle.
Occasionally, I would help Xiaoxia get rid of insects, and that's how I spent my days—simple yet fulfilling.
——————Biceps brachii——————
On the eighth day after leaving Viridian City, after being chased by Beedrill twice and getting lost once, Ash and his friends finally arrived in Pewter City.
"We've finally arrived. I never want to go to Viridian Forest again." Xiaoxia's clothes were a bit dirty, and all she wanted to do was take a shower as soon as possible.
"Really? I think it's fine, it's quite fulfilling." Xiao Zhi was full of energy.
After several days of cultivation, the unicorn has evolved into a beedrill.
Even after becoming the queen bee, her skin remains an unusual grayish-black, and her entire body exudes a sharp aura.
The egg in my arms also flashed yesterday, so it should be ready to hatch.
"How dare you say that? It was you who led us astray!"
Xiaoxia grew angrier as she spoke, "I was chased by Beedrill twice because of you!"
To my surprise, Xiao Zhi didn't seem to care at all.
"This was to train the bee's fighting spirit, which is why we took it to challenge the queen bee."
Xiaoxia's face darkened completely, and she grabbed Xiaozhi's ear and dragged him into the Pokémon Center.
"You've been exercising so intensely every day that you've used up all the water, you should go take a shower right now!"
The two quickly arrived at the Pokémon Center for a short rest.
The Pokémon egg was also handed over to the more professional Nurse Joy for care.
The egg hatched that very night.
"It's flashing! It's flashing!"
"Xiao Zhi, don't push! I want to see too!"
After the light faded, a blue, small dog-shaped Pokémon appeared on the hatching platform, standing upright in a human form.
Ash took out his Pokédex and pointed it at the Pokémon, but to his surprise, the Pokédex couldn't recognize it.
"No information available..."
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"
While Xiaoxia was still wondering, Miss Joey recognized it at a glance.
"This is Riolu, a Pokémon rarely seen in the Kanto region."
Ash also checked the system in his mind.
[Pokémon Name: Riolu (Synergy Partner)]
Attributes: pH: 40, Attack: 70, Defense: 40, Special Attack: 60, Special Defense: 40, Speed: 60
Total 280
[Ability: Focus (Pokémon with this ability cannot flinch)]
[Skills: Lightning Flash; Feint Attack]
[Affection Level: 50 (Will resolutely carry out your orders)]
[Intimacy Level: 30 (He feels familiar with your waveguide)]
[Description: Appearing like a young child, yet possessing the strange power to read minds. Those with good hearts will be accepted, while those with evil hearts will be hated.]
[Ding! New side quest triggered: The Hero of the Aura: Evolve Riolu into Lucario.]
[Reward: Lucario Mega Evolution Stone (Pokémon)]
It's Riolu! It looks like Lucario's previous form.
Ash has decided to train it properly.
Since its birth, the little blue dog has been standing on the hatching platform, staring intently at Ash, appearing somewhat uneasy.
"Hello, Riolu, I'm your trainer Ash. Nice to meet you."
Ash went up and petted it, which gradually calmed Riolu down.
Riolu didn't resist when it was put into a Poké Ball, and everything went very smoothly.
This person will definitely become one of his key lieutenants in the future.
Moreover, the breakthrough point for his Aura power, which has been largely absent since awakening, should also lie with this Pokémon.
The next morning, Ash took Riolu to Pewter City for training.
[Daily Task: Please jog at a pace of 5 minutes per kilometer for 1 hour.]
[Reward: 250 League Coins, +1 random Poké Ball]
"Pikachu, run faster! It's all because I spoil you too much, making you so lazy."
"Look at Big Needle, even Riolu is more serious than you."
Ash, holding a small megaphone, urged Pikachu, who looked reluctant, to speed up.
Ash completes his daily training missions with his Pokémon.
Even for less strenuous exercises, Ash would drag Misty along to do them.
It is through this daily companionship that the understanding and bond between trainers and Pokémon gradually deepen.
Furthermore, this will slightly increase the Pokémon's affection and friendship levels.
Beedrill's friendship and affection levels have reached 60.
Ash now understands just how powerful Pikachu's "destined partner" title is.
In just two or three days, the bond between him and Pikachu was fully formed.
Ash spent even more time on Beedrill, but it only reached level 60.
It turns out that the 2-point friendship bonus for each battle is exclusive to Pikachu.
That Pikachu is so awful!
The newly joined Riolu was much more enthusiastic than the veteran Pikachu when it heard that they were going to train together.
Although I was panting heavily, I persevered and maintained a good pace.
"What a good child."
Ash nodded to Riolu.
After completing a one-hour jog, Ash and his Pokémon rested by the river.
During his training, Ash was actually keeping an eye on his surroundings, trying to find an important person.
They searched all the boulders in Nibi but couldn't find him.
"Sigh, without that guy, how are we going to take Brock away?" Ash frowned.
That's right, the person he was looking for was Wu Neng, Xiao Gang's father.
That good-for-nothing man who went out to make a living for many years but achieved nothing, dared not acknowledge his children, and secretly hid in the shadows to observe his own family.
The purpose of this trip to Pewter City was not only to obtain the Gym Badge, but also to invite Brock to travel with them.
After all, Xiao Gang, whose housekeeping skills are maxed out, is too important for travel.
Although both Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia can cook, their culinary skills are only so-so.
During the last few days of being lost, they even survived on dry rations and cold water.
There's no other way; dry food is the easiest to store and it's cheap.
But if Xiaogang was there during those days, delicious meals would definitely be prepared every day.
Generally speaking, Wu Neng would pretend to be an unscrupulous merchant on a boulder in Nibi City.
Why is it that after searching for so long, there is still no trace of him?
Ash had a vague sense of unease.
