Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 485 - 484: The Egg About to Hatch

With great skill, Cain finished preparing the Pokéblocks for Larvitar.

The materials he used were undoubtedly the best he had at his disposal at the time.

They would be sufficient to feed the Larvitar that was about to hatch.

Soon, not only for Larvitar but likely also for Cain's other Pokémon, their Pokéblock formulas would need adjustments. At that point, he would simply have to buy more materials.

Being a Breeder has its advantages.

You can adjust the Pokéblock recipes your Pokémon use at any time, according to their needs.

And changing the recipe won't make the effects of the previous Pokéblocks go to waste.

For this reason, many trainers desire to have a Breeder by their side.

Even Professor Oak needs the support of a Breeder like his mentor, Master Matsuda Takashi.

However, when a trainer grows, the Breeder who has provided great assistance becomes someone they must protect.

That's why, even though the Breeder Guild isn't very powerful, it remains one of the top five organizations within the Alliance.

Once again, Cain took the Larvitar egg into his hands. He clearly felt that it had grown considerably heavier.

He didn't know why, but the egg seemed to grow heavier out of nowhere.

Perhaps it was because Larvitar was nearly fully formed inside.

He took out another bottle of Evolution Elixir, the last one he had left.

He had already used one bottle before, and under normal circumstances, this second one should be enough.

Even so, Cain let the system monitor the situation in real time to ensure the elixir was working properly.

He slowly poured the liquid from the last bottle of elixir onto the Pokémon egg.

He felt the egg's temperature rise so much that, even through his pants, it felt hot.

Unable to bear it any longer, he used his psychic powers to make the egg float.

He feared that, with such a high temperature, the Pokémon egg might end up cooked.

If it weren't floating, anyone would think there was a fire burning beneath it.

As if there were at least a steaming pot under it.

By the way, would the Larvitar egg be particularly nutritious?

Suddenly, this thought crossed Cain's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

What madness!

If Larvitar couldn't hatch, Cain might consider that option, but after waiting so long, it was finally about to hatch. If the egg ended up cooked, it would be a bad joke.

Fortunately, those were just Cain's wild ideas.

Under the system's supervision, all of Larvitar's egg parameters were normal.

It was only that its rapid growth rate caused an unusually high temperature.

Following the system's instructions, Cain stopped pouring more elixir onto the egg.

He looked at the remaining half bottle, feeling a bit pained. These elixirs weren't cheap.

If anyone knew about the existence of something like this, many would fight to obtain it.

Luckily, Team Rocket had not yet revealed the elixir's existence, and the Alliance didn't know that Cain had acquired six bottles transported in secret.

After all, if anyone investigated, they could only trace it back to Umbra, not to Cain.

With everything ready, Cain sat down to wait patiently.

During this time, other Pokémon approached to watch, especially the four little ones.

They were excited about the arrival of a new companion and wanted to stay beside Cain to wait.

However, the sensible Honchkrow took them away.

When a Pokémon hatches, the first creature it sees naturally becomes the one it feels the most attached to. For trainers, it's important for the Pokémon to see its trainer first, as it makes future training and battles smoother.

For example, the first Pokémon Cain raised, Skorupi, now has a bond and synchronization with him that only Honchkrow and Slowking surpass.

After half an hour, the surface of the Pokémon egg was covered with droplets of water, emitting a faint steam. When Cain brought his hand close, without touching it, he could already feel the heat.

At this temperature, any normal egg would already be completely cooked, wouldn't it?

But the system indicated that everything was fine, so Cain held back.

Half an hour later, the egg's temperature began to drop.

Cain finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he wouldn't have to eat the egg. Losing three bottles of elixir and a pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg would have been devastating.

Things started to look up.

Using his psychic powers, Cain perceived that the liquid inside the egg was slowly dissipating, revealing a fully-formed creature curled up inside.

The heart and brain were already developed; only the shell needed breaking.

But the shell, so tough, represented one more challenge for the still-unhatched Pokémon.

Half an hour later, the egg's temperature returned to normal, and Cain felt the creature's heartbeat and a faint vibration of psychic energy.

Larvitar was finally fully formed.

Relaxing his psychic powers, he placed the egg on the ground.

Sensing the peculiarity of the ground, the egg moved slightly.

Cain showed a joyful expression.

The egg moved, meaning the Pokémon inside was already stirring; the moment of hatching was near.

From afar, Aron, who was playing, sensed something and curiously looked at the Pokémon egg in front of Cain.

His eyes reflected seven parts surprise and three parts curiosity.

As a Ground-type Pokémon, Aron felt how the energy of the ground around them was frantically gathering.

It moved like waves.

And the center of those waves was the Pokémon egg in front of Cain.

What kind of Pokémon could this be, capable of naturally manipulating Ground-type energy even before hatching?

Aron felt immense curiosity about this new companion that was about to be born.

Although Cain didn't perceive the changes in Ground-type energy, he clearly felt the egg changing.

At a strange frequency, the egg began to move.

After a while, the movement speed increased.

In Aron's eyes, the Ground-type energy beneath the soil suddenly surged, striking directly at the egg's surface.

"Crack!"

A loud sound echoed, and a crack appeared on the tough eggshell.

It wasn't the same crack as before but a completely new one.

Cain's joy was uncontrollable.

Larvitar was about to hatch!
