Chapter 515 I will definitely make my master think highly of me!
Li Luochen looked at the round elf egg in the halberd's arms and immediately understood.
The eggshell has a faint bluish-green sheen, with several dark lines faintly visible on its surface.
Even without the Styracosaurus explicitly stating it, this is most likely the egg of the boss, Garchomp.
but......
Li Luochen scratched his head, his gaze darting back and forth between the trebuchet and the egg.
How long has it been? How come the Styracosaurus already has offspring?
He vividly remembered the scene of this guy slacking off and trying to get close to Latias, only to be dragged away by Garchomp to "practice" with him.
As a result, while practicing, he ended up hugging the egg?
It probably happened during some intimate moments.
Li Luochen squatted down and gently touched the eggshell. It felt warm and smooth, and he could feel a faint but steady life force pulsating inside.
The Styracod stood to one side, its neck stretched out long, its beady eyes fixed on his hand, as if afraid he would break the egg.
"You want me to raise it?"
Li Luochen looked up at it.
The Styracod nodded vigorously, its chin almost touching its chest, its tail swishing behind it with a whooshing sound, its smug expression practically overflowing from its face.
Hey bro, I'm giving you my first egg, you know? See how good I am to you?
Of course, it would be great if I could be rewarded with a way to contact Grand Latias...
The Styracodile didn't say this aloud, to prevent Garchomp from overhearing it.
You have to tell the boss privately and discreetly.
Li Luochen stood up, dusted off his hands, and stared thoughtfully at the egg.
If this egg hatches, we really need to think carefully beforehand about where to raise it, who will raise it, and how to train it.
Given the nature of Styracoid, it's definitely something it doesn't want to keep as a pet—and it can't keep one.
Gible's type is Ground + Dragon. Although it lived on snowy mountains during its green period, it is still four times weak to Ice!
Li Luochen looked at the egg, then glanced at the Styracosaurus next to him that was already planning how to show off, and sighed softly.
You've had your fun, but I'll have to worry about what happens next.
"Master, what kind of Pokémon egg is this?"
Xiao An then came over and bent down to examine the egg in Li Luochen's hand with curiosity.
The loose neckline opened slightly with her movements, revealing a patch of snow-white skin below her collarbone that flashed before Li Luochen's eyes.
She was completely unaware that all her attention was focused on the fairy egg.
Li Luochen glanced at it, then quickly returned his gaze to the eggshell, his tone as usual: "A Gible Pokémon egg."
"Gible!" Xiao An's eyes lit up, and she leaned forward a few more times. "Isn't that a Garchomp baby? Master, Master, who gave birth to it?"
She asked the question innocently, completely unaware that her posture made the view through her neckline even more exposed.
The Styracosaurus puffed out its chest beside it, looking smug, as if to say, "It's mine, it's mine."
Xiao An followed Li Luochen's gaze, paused for a moment, then widened her eyes: "Athrax?! You and Garchomp...?!"
The Styracodon proudly raised its head, its nostrils almost pointing to the sky.
Xiao An opened her mouth, her mind racing, and finally a blush slowly rose on her cheeks as she muttered softly, "She's quite capable."
"Xiao An, how's your reading of 'The Mysteries of the Earth' that I gave you before?" Li Luochen asked casually while stroking the smooth surface of the gible egg.
He knew that Xiao An had a special fondness for Ground-type Pokémon.
Not long ago, Xiao An asked Talebagos to change the Crystal type of Twinblade Maru to Ground. Later, he also captured Sandslash King. His love for Ground-type is practically written all over his face.
So a week ago, Li Luochen specially printed a copy of the book "The Secrets of the Earth" that his second uncle, Sakaki, had given him, and lent it to Xiao An.
"Ah..." Xiao An paused slightly, her eyes darting around like a student being called on by the teacher to answer a question in class. "That... I read some!"
"How much is 'some'?"
Xiao An pursed her lips, held up two fingers, and gestured a small gap: "This little bit."
Li Luochen looked at her two fingers that were almost touching, and remained silent for a moment.
"When Uncle Sakaki gave it to me, he said something," he said.
Xiao An looked up at him, blinking her eyes.
He said, "The power of the ground system is not in the sky, nor in the sea, but right beneath your feet."
"Those who cannot stand firmly will never be able to unleash the true power of the Ground type."
Xiao An looked down at her feet, then looked up at Li Luochen, seemingly understanding but not quite.
Li Luochen handed the egg to the Styracosaurus beside him, dusted off his hands, and looked at Xiao An: "This book isn't for you to memorize, it's for you to understand. Whether you understand it or not isn't important, what's important is whether you can stand firm."
Xiao An lowered her eyes and simply nodded.
"Yes, Master."
Li Luochen reached out and ruffled Xiao An's hair, gently pressing his palm on the top of her head. His tone was softer than before: "How about this, once you've finished reading that book, you can raise this giblet egg."
"Really?!" Xiao An's eyes lit up immediately. "Master, you keep your word?"
"Of course, this can be considered a great achievement." Li Luochen withdrew his hand. "Uncle Sakaki would be happy if he knew that the Ground type had a successor."
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Xiao An instinctively wanted to give an example, but after thinking about it, she realized she didn't have one. So she decisively shut up, nodded vigorously, and turned to run outside.
"Master really spoils Xiao An~"
Yuto Seidai appeared beside Li Luochen at some point, took his arm, and said in a voice as sweet as freshly opened honey, "Master~ Xiao An has 'The Secrets of the Earth,' and Riko-chan has your guidance in the Talebagos, so what about me?"
She tilted her head, her eyelashes fluttering, with an expression that said, "You can't be biased."
Li Luochen glanced down at her, subtly pulled his arm out of her embrace, and said in a calm tone, "Don't you already have me?"
Yuto Seida blinked, paused for a moment, then said coquettishly, "Master, what are you saying!"
"To be honest," Li Luochen said, his hands in his pockets and his gaze fixed on the distance, "you have neither a specialized attribute nor the guidance of a divine beast, and all you think about is love and romance."
"In that case, we'll build you up to the Heavenly King level later, and that should be about right."
Let's build a king-level team.
If others heard this, they would probably curse Li Luochen on the spot.
There are very few Elite Four level trainers in the entire world!
Many people spend their entire lives trying to reach that threshold, but in his words it's something that "can be reached by simply piling up a bunch of things."
Yuto Seida pursed her lips: "Master..."
"However," Li Luochen glanced at her sideways, "the Heavenly King level is not the end."
"If you can put aside those romantic thoughts and focus on training, it's not impossible for you to advance further."
Yuto Seidai stared at him blankly, unsure of what to say.
Li Luochen had already turned his gaze away, lifted his foot and walked towards the training ground, leaving behind the words, "I'm going to check on the other teammates."
Yuto Seidai stood there, watching his retreating figure, her tone growing increasingly resolute: "I will definitely make my master think highly of me!"
