Chapter 96: Larvesta Hatches!
When Lei Wen hastily arrived with Servine and Dratini, he saw a group of Knight Order knights guarding Megan and Chris behind them with vigilant expressions.
And in front of everyone stood six ferocious and menacing figures.
Those are… Gyarados?
Lei Wen was slightly taken aback.
“Prince Lei Wen, please be careful!” Geralt also arrived at this moment.
Lei Wen’s gaze fell upon the pond; the Magikarp that had been there was indeed nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, and combined with the six Gyarados before him, Lei Wen immediately understood what was going on.
“Put down your weapons,” Lei Wen said.
“Your Highness?” The knights were slightly startled, their faces showing confusion.
“Don’t you see that the monsters have no intention of attacking us?” Lei Wen reminded them.
As expected, only then did everyone belatedly realize something: those six terrifying monsters had not launched a single attack on them from beginning to end!
Lei Wen walked forward, looked at Megan, and asked, “What just happened?”
Megan: “A wild monster broke in just now and stole the honey that everyone worked so hard to brew…”
A Combee flew over, looked at the six Gyarados, and excitedly said, “Bee!”
“You mean they drove that monster away?” Lei Wen asked.
The Combee nodded repeatedly.
“Eh?” This time Megan was stunned.
Lei Wen smiled and turned to Megan, saying, “Megan, don’t you see it yet?”
“See what?”
“Those six monsters are the ones you took care of for a whole winter. You were worried they would freeze in winter, so you specifically made them a water trough and brought them home,” Lei Wen said slowly.
Hearing this, Megan’s eyes immediately widened in disbelief.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Megan silently counted the number of monsters in her heart, and she was immediately astonished.
“Could it be… could it be Little Fish and the others?” Megan looked at Lei Wen for confirmation.
“That’s right, they are your Little Fish,” Lei Wen nodded slightly. “If I’m not mistaken, they turned into this state just now to protect you, but don’t worry, this is a good thing for monsters, it means they have grown.”
Megan looked at the scene before her in disbelief.
Those six little fish had grown so big…
Although she still felt a little fear towards the ferocious faces of the six Gyarados, Megan was no longer afraid when she thought of them as her little fish.
She summoned her courage and walked forward, going to the edge of the pond.
She raised her head and looked up at these behemoths.
The Gyarados also lowered their heads and looked at Megan.
If one looked closely, one could even see a trace of hurt in the eyes of these Gyarados.
“Are… are you Little Fish?” Megan asked.
“Roar!”
A Gyarados let out a rough roar.
Seeing this, Megan gently placed her hand on the abdomen of one Gyarados and then pressed her face against it.
“Thank you… thank you for protecting me.”
The Gyarados happily narrowed their eyes.
They also wanted to thank Megan for taking care of them so diligently for so long.
They liked Megan! They wanted to be with Megan forever!
“Alright, it’s alright now, everyone go back!” Lei Wen said to the surrounding crowd, watching this scene with emotion.
“Yes!”
Soon, the people gathered in the pasture left one by one, leaving only Lei Wen and Geralt.
Geralt looked at the group of monsters and couldn’t help but ask, “Prince Lei Wen… can all monsters undergo this kind of change?”
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, no one would have believed that ordinary monsters found in rivers and mud could transform into such forms.
Lei Wen shook his head, “Perhaps, monsters are very magical creatures. Ever since I’ve been in close contact with them, I feel that anything happening to them is not strange.”
Geralt nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.
After a long while, Megan returned to Lei Wen’s side.
She bowed deeply to Lei Wen, saying gratefully, “Thank you, Prince Lei Wen!”
“Why thank me?” Lei Wen was somewhat surprised.
“Thank you for letting me meet Little Fish and the others!” Megan’s tone was full of gratitude.
Seeing this, Lei Wen smiled, his gaze fell on the group of Gyarados, and then said, “Gyarados, their name is Gyarados.”
“Gyarados…” Megan murmured, then said, “I’ll remember!”
“Take good care of them!” Lei Wen retracted his gaze. “Gyarados are very powerful monsters. With them around, you will never have to worry about other dangerous monsters breaking into the pasture and causing destruction.”
“Yes!” Megan said repeatedly.
The Gothitelle had already been driven away, and the Combee and Vespiquen in the beehive slowly woke up.
Although the Gothitelle had eaten a lot of the honey, fortunately, the Gyarados’ intervention saved most of it.
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lei Wen gave a few more careful instructions, then turned and left the pasture, returning to his home.
“Alright, that’s all for today, you guys go back to sleep too!” Lei Wen said to Dratini and Servine.
The two Pokémon nodded gently, then lay back down in their nests and closed their eyes to rest.
Lei Wen also got into bed, but at that moment, the egg he had placed next to his pillow suddenly showed a crack.
“Crack!”
The eggshell shattered, and a scorching aura spread from within, causing the temperature in the entire room to instantly rise.
Lei Wen was awakened by this anomaly. He turned his head and saw a Pokémon covered in white fluff with a pair of blue eyes looking at him intently.
Lei Wen was slightly taken aback, and then he realized.
A Larvesta, it had hatched!
All the information about this Larvesta appeared in Lei Wen’s mind at the same time.
【 Pokémon: Larvesta】
【 Type: Fire, Bug】
【 Gender: Male】
【 Ability: Flame Body】
【 Moves: Fire Dance, Flame Charge, Bug Bite, Flame Wheel, Fire Spin, Ember, String Shot, Flamethrower, Sunny Day】
【 Friendship: 80】
【 Pokédex Entry: In Kingdom Calendar year 149, Larvesta was born.】
“!!!”
When Lei Wen saw the moves this Larvesta had learned, he was completely stunned in disbelief.
Fire Dance, Flamethrower, Flame Charge, Sunny Day, Fire Spin…
Why had this Larvesta mastered so many powerful moves right after hatching?
Lei Wen’s brain whirred at high speed.
Logically, this Larvesta should have hatched much earlier, but due to some unknown reasons, its condition was unstable, and it failed to hatch for a long time.
To this end, its mother Volcarona used its flame power to warm it for thousands of years.
And before that Volcarona passed away, it used Fire Dance to pass its Fire Origin to this Larvesta, allowing it to inherit some of its power.
Could it be because of this?
