Inside the Pokémon Egg Hatching Cabin, three Pokémon appeared, lined up neatly.
The Pokémon on the left was somewhat human-like, with large hands and suction cups on each of its five fingers, resembling a clown.
The Pokémon in the middle was green, with round blue eyes, red markings on its cheeks, two bright red flowers on its head, and green and yellow leaves resembling a skirt.
The Pokémon on the right flew in the air; it had an egg-shaped body covered in fluffy white fur, and broad triangular wings, looking like an airplane.
"Mr. Mime! Bellossom! Togekiss!"
Adrain's eyes lit up.
These three Pokémon, like the Blastoise and the other starter Pokémon from before, were clearly unusual.
"Let's go outside!"
Seeing Adrain's shocked and envious expression, the Move Tutor became even more smug.
These Pokémon were his old companions who had been with him for many years.
Led by the Move Tutor, the group went outside.
The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was calm—a seemingly auspicious sign.
At the Move Tutor's instruction, Adrain placed the Pokémon egg on the ground.
Then, Blastoise, Mr. Mime, Bellossom, and Togekiss formed a cross shape, surrounding the egg.
"Start recording, Rotom!"
Seeing this, Rotom quickly turned on its recording function, wanting to capture the entire process.
Whether or not to upload it online was Adrain's business, but this video would certainly be of great commemorative value.
"Well then, I'll begin!"
"Sir, please!"
After nodding to Adrain, the Move Tutor's gaze sharpened, and his aura changed accordingly.
"Blastoise, Life Drop!"
"Mr. Mime, Healing Wish!"
"Togekiss, Wish!"
"Bellossom, Pollen Puff!"
At the command of the Move Tutor, the four Pokémon immediately unleashed their signature moves, all of them recovery-type moves, demonstrating their control over life energy.
First was Blastoise; its body began to gather power, but only a few clear drops of water floated from its massive cannon, landing on the Pokémon egg and slowly disappearing.
Next was Mr. Mime; its body began to glow white, then emitted a burst of pale blue light that enveloped the Pokémon egg.
Then came Bellossom; the two bright red flowers on its head shimmered, forming a dazzling flower cluster that struck the Pokémon egg.
Upon contact, the pollen puff immediately dissipated, turning into specks of white light that merged into the Pokémon egg.
Finally, it was Togekiss. It folded its wings and rested them against its chest, tilting its head back and singing. A bright, shining halo appeared around its body, accompanied by many star-shaped rays of light, also enveloping the Pokémon egg in the center.
"This—is amazing!"
Adrain stared in a daze at this scene.
The Move Tutor's Pokémon were quite powerful, and their recovery moves seemed even more impressive, clearly demonstrating a profound understanding of life energy.
Even though it wasn't a Pokémon, Adrain could feel a rich life force emerging, continuously flowing into the Pokémon egg, enhancing its life potential and helping it hatch and transform.
However, to prevent the egg from being unable to absorb so much life energy at once, the Move Tutor and his four Pokémon were very gentle when injecting it, outputting it in a continuous and stable manner.
Perhaps because he had been spending so much time with this Pokémon egg these past few days, a slight connection had formed between them, and Adrain could almost feel the egg cheering and jumping for joy.
"Come on, Egg, hatch! Hatch! Hatch!"
Adrain barely dared to breathe, afraid of disturbing the Move Tutor and his Pokémon, and could only silently cheer for the Pokémon egg in his heart.
Time slowly passed, and the life energy inside the Pokémon egg grew stronger and stronger. It even began to shake, as if it was about to hatch at any moment.
"Almost there!"
Adrain's eyes widened, very excited and full of anticipation.
This Pokémon egg was probably a survivor of experiments, and it was already strange after being studied.
Now, with the help of the unfathomable Move Tutor to hatch it, and with so much life energy injected, Adrain felt that the egg's potential had increased by at least a notch.
"Mani!"
But at this moment, the Mr. Mime, which looked like a clown, suddenly swayed, and the energy injection in its hands stopped abruptly.
The next second, it actually collapsed to the ground with its eyes spinning in circles.
"Huh? What's going on?"
Adrain was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized that while Mr. Mime's "Healing Wish" could cure other Pokémon's status conditions and restore all their HP, the cost was that the user would lose their ability to battle.
Adrain felt a bit annoyed.
This was the time to make a final push, how could Mr. Mime suddenly stop working?
At the same time, the Move Tutor was also very surprised and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Young man, what kind of Pokémon is inside your Pokémon egg? It needs way too much energy, it's like a bottomless pit!"
The Move Tutor was filled with doubt and suspicion, he even suspected that Adrain's Pokémon egg contained a legendary Pokémon.
"Old sir, I don't know the specific species!"
Adrain looked helpless and could only tell the truth, "But it's most likely a Water-type or Psychic-type Pokémon."
As for the details regarding Team Rocket and the experimental subjects, Adrain naturally wouldn't disclose them.
Bellossom, Togekiss, and Blastoise were still channeling life energy, but they clearly couldn't hold on much longer; their bodies were weak, and they were panting heavily—signs of excessive stamina depletion.
"No, no! Not enough!"
The Move Tutor sighed helplessly, shaking his head. "But my old buddies can't hold on any longer."
Hearing this, Adrain's expression changed.
He sank his consciousness into the fishing space, glanced at the hundred or so energy orbs that were constantly rising and falling within, and gritted his teeth, saying, "I'll risk it all!"
With a thought, Adrain activated all the energy orbs in the space and then poured them all into the Pokémon Egg. As the hundred or so energy orbs were continuously poured into the Pokémon Egg, the Egg's suction power seemed to be fully activated, greedily absorbing all the energy like a black hole.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A terrifying energy storm instantly formed, sweeping outwards from the Egg, nearly sending Adrain and the Move Tutor flying.
"Blasss!"
"Bana!"
"Beep!"
These Pokémon were initially actively channeling energy, but now they could feel the Pokémon egg transforming into a black hole, actively draining their energy.
This suction was terrifying, seemingly determined to drain them dry.
Boom!
As another invisible energy storm surged forth, the three Pokémon were immediately swept away.
When they landed, their eyes were darting around, and they were clearly unable to battle.
They were obviously drained!
But to Adrain's despair, the Pokémon egg that had been placed on the ground still hadn't hatched.
It sat there motionless, like a stone.
"Did I fail?"
Adrain sighed inwardly, his face filled with disappointment.
The Move Tutor's full effort, coupled with the nourishment from the hundred-plus energy orbs he had secretly activated, had all been in vain.
Crack!
But just then, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.
