Chapter 485 - Larvitar is Born!

Kacha~~

There were more and more cracks on the Pokemon egg.

Fine cracks appeared gradually.

The cracks gradually expanded, and Aoki could already see through the cracks in the eggshell the body that was struggling to wriggle inside.

Kacha~ Kacha~

The crack suddenly expanded a lot at once.

A green horn emerged from the crack.

It could be seen that there was still some viscous liquid that had not been absorbed on the slightly dark green head horn.

As the horn of the head pushed through the eggshell, the cracks further widened.

Finally, after another three minutes of struggle, the eggshell shattered completely.

A dark green Pokemon appeared in front of Aoki.

The long dark green head horn was not sharp, and the triangular eyes looked a bit imposing. The red pupils stared at Aoki carefully, with curiosity and warmth in them.

The exposed belly was red, resembling red armor. There were several square-shaped dark green spots beside the belly, and the tail was like a small flower. Obviously, he was not yet used to the body he had just broken free from.

"Yo~~" Larvitar opened his mouth and called softly.

With a smile on his face, Aoki slowly put his hand on Larvitar's head and rubbed it lightly.

The surface of the newly hatched Larvitar was still very smooth, covered in some unknown liquid. Aoki could feel how slick it was.

Larvitar couldn't help squinting his eyes, clearly enjoying it.

Before Aoki could continue, Larvitar's stomach suddenly rumbled.

"Cuckoo~~"

The loudness of the sound was not at all like that of a newly hatched Pokemon.

But Larvitar didn't care about this; his eyes were fixed on the broken eggshell beside him.

As if smelling something delicious,

Slowly bending down, he picked up a piece of the broken eggshell with his little hand, sniffed it, and then tossed it into his mouth.

"Crack! Crack!"

The hard eggshell seemed to present no obstacle to Larvitar's teeth, crushed instantly upon entering his mouth.

Soon, the tough eggshell was entirely devoured by Larvitar.

Seeing Larvitar's delighted expression, Aoki quietly put away the Pokeblock he had just taken out.

For newly hatched Pokemon, eggshells were definitely better than any food, including the Pokeblock Aoki had prepared.

Larvitar, having eaten a piece of eggshell, narrowed his happy eyes.

Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, Larvitar picked up another piece of eggshell, hesitated for a moment, but then resolutely handed it to Aoki.

Aoki was stunned for a moment.

But seeing Larvitar's determined eyes, Aoki smiled.

He waved his hand, pushing the eggshell fragments back toward Larvitar, and said with a smile, "I can't eat these things. They're the best for you. Go ahead and eat them all."

Larvitar stared blankly at Aoki for a few seconds, and after confirming that Aoki truly didn't want the eggshells, he stopped insisting.

Boom! ! !

Suddenly, a roar echoed around Aoki.

The Pokemon training and playing nearby were startled.

Even Aoki was surprised.

The Pokemon rushed over as quickly as they could, but Aoki raised his hand to stop them.

The roar wasn't caused by an attack.

The source of the sound was the very cute Pokemon in front of Aoki.

Aoki personally witnessed the entire process of the sound.

At that moment, Larvitar had just handed the eggshell to Aoki, and after Aoki declined, Larvitar didn't force it and simply threw it into his mouth.

Then, he seemed to feel a little tired from standing and eating.

So, naturally, Larvitar sat down.

Right on the ground!

This roar was caused by Larvitar sitting down.

Aoki couldn't believe that such a small Larvitar, just by sitting, had caused the ground to collapse.

The scariest thing was that Larvitar didn't seem to notice at all.

Aoki quickly activated the system to scan Larvitar's current data.

Pokemon: Larvitar (Teal)

Gender: Male

Level: 1

Type: Rock/Ground

Ability: Guts

Held Item: None

Inherited Moves: Dragon Dance, Outrage, Ancient Power, Stealth Rock

Basic Moves: Bite, Leer

TM Moves: None

Taught Moves: None

From the data, there wasn't much change, except that his original cyan potential had advanced to dark cyan after birth.

But this was within Aoki's expectations.

After all, the thick eggshell and the rich Earth Core Milk had acted as barriers, possibly causing some deviation in the system scan.

Another possibility was that Larvitar's original potential was cyan, but when using the Pokemon catalyst to accelerate growth, the nutrients in the egg mixed with the infiltrated Earth Core Milk subtly improved Larvitar's aptitude.

This improvement in potential was reasonable, considering that the egg had been soaking for an unknown number of years.

However, Larvitar's weight was somewhat beyond Aoki's expectations.

A Larvitar capable of causing a crater just by sitting was obviously not of normal weight.

It was likely due to his increased weight that his aptitude had improved.

After all, for a Pokemon that relied on its bulk, weight could sometimes be a measure of combat power.

But with such a heavy weight, if Larvitar wanted to maintain his expected battle prowess, his energy intake and bone growth would need extra attention.

That responsibility fell on Aoki.

Right now, Larvitar weighed even more than Aron.

A true walking tank.

Sitting in the dented ground, Larvitar continued eating his eggshells, completely unaware that his trainer was mentally calculating the challenges his weight would bring.

A tonnage-type Larvitar, along with Aron, another heavy Pokemon.

Aoki figured that once these two fully evolved, standing behind them would make him feel nearly invincible when traveling.

But for now, the first thing Larvitar needed to learn was how to control his weight.

He couldn't just go around collapsing floors wherever he went.

It was fine in the wild, but indoors...

That would be costly.

Still, the excitement of the day far outweighed the unexpected surprises Larvitar had given him.

Finally, this pseudo-legendary Pokemon had hatched, and Aoki's future prospects had risen considerably.

At the very least, reaching the elite level seemed entirely achievable now.

Just a matter of steady training.

After finishing his eggshells, the newly born Larvitar still required a lot of sleep.

Curling up next to Aoki, he drifted off without a care.

Touching Larvitar's smooth surface, the corners of Aoki's mouth lifted...
