"Hatched..."
Hakuya looked at the scene of white light flowing and Pokémon Egg cracking crack-crack before him, sighing softly.
Honestly, this was the second time he witnessed the whole process of Pokémon Egg hatching with his own eyes—the last time was in childhood, meeting Ralts breaking the shell.
And amidst the crisp sound of eggshell shattering, a fluffy small figure also poked its head out from the broken shell.
Compared to the majestic big Arcanine beside Jenny Rin, this little guy just poking its head out from the broken eggshell had absolutely no half of dashing heroism and majestic aura. Instead, the whole body revealed soft cuteness making people unable to help wanting to reach out and poke lightly.
A body of smooth orange-yellow fur like autumn maple sugar. Fluffy cream-yellow mane trembled slightly with breathing. Shaking its small head, Growlithe noticed the Trainer not far away.
Ink-black eyes were bright and piercing. She straightened her waist, trying hard to straighten four still trembling short legs, preparing to run towards Hakuya.
"A little slower, Growlithe."
Looking at this little guy walking unsteadily because of just being born, Hakuya couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. Before she could perform a flat fall, he bent down to hold her steadily with both hands and embrace her in his arms.
Sensing the warm touch from the Trainer's body, Growlithe's ears trembled rustlingly subconsciously. Small sensitive black nose was also sniffing hard, trying to imprint Hakuya's scent firmly in her mind.
Seeing this, Hakuya couldn't help rubbing her fluffy head dotingly.
"Woof-woof~"
And just walking out from the bathroom, Dawn gathered hair strands stained with water vapor gently with fingertips. Wet slender feet tapped lightly like butterfly wings just touching the ground. Just as she was about to raise her hand to wipe water droplets between hair, her gaze paused suddenly.
Broken eggshells were scattered on the table, and a fluffy fiery red figure was currently held steadily in Hakuya's arms.
"It's a Pokémon Egg gifted by Officer Jenny before; now just hatched..."
Hakuya looked up at this blue-haired girl full of wonder, explaining with a smile.
"So that's it..." Dawn nodded in realization, then couldn't care less about drying her hair, leaning her fair pretty face soaked by water vapor close, exclaiming, "So cute, looks even softer than the photo in the Pokédex~"
Saying so, she also took out the Pokémon Pokédex from her bag pointing at this fluffy little guy.
"Growlithe, Puppy Pokémon. Extremely loyal to its Trainer, it will bark at those who approach the Trainer unexpectedly and run them out of town."
At this time, Dawn's exclamation mixed with the Pokémon Pokédex's mechanical broadcast sound exploded suddenly, startling the sisters who hadn't slept soundly from light sleep with a shiver.
Squinting misty eyes still full of sleepiness, muttering and turning over, two gazes with water mist locked unbiasedly on the sound source.
In an instant, May, originally sleeping confusedly, had eyes brighten suddenly. Girlish heart flooded into a river instantly.
"Ah ah, so cute Growlithe, I want to hug too!"
"Woof-woof~"
Facing those plain white jade hands stretching towards her, Growlithe just glanced lightly.
Not only didn't choose to lean over, but she whoosh drilled back into Hakuya's arms instead. Fluffy head rubbed affectionately against the Trainer's chest rub-rub, leaving the girl looking at her empty hands messy in the wind.
How come... just met and hated by her!!!
"Ha, truly a idiot sister~"
Scallion-white watery tender slender jade palms supported on the bed edge. Sapphire struggled to prop up her body, tone carrying a few points of helpless complaint.
"Forgot all the Pokémon knowledge Dad taught before, right..."
"Newly born Pokémon are very wary, generally only close to the person seen first after breaking the shell. Now Brother Hakuya is right beside, Growlithe naturally sticks to him. Refusing to let you hug is the most normal thing..."
Although Sapphire appeared much more mature than May in both steadiness of character handling and breadth of knowledge and experience.
But in actual age, she was only one year older than May.
Because of this, Sapphire finally followed May's daily address for Hakuya logically.
"Indeed so. If still wanting to hug rashly like this..."
Hakuya held the soft meat pad of the little guy in his arms, corners of his mouth raising a sly faint smile.
"Be careful Growlithe sprays Ember on your face later oh~"
As soon as the voice fell, the little guy also barked "Woof-woof" twice very cooperatively, causing the unbelieving May to subconsciously "Uuu", shrinking back her small hand like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Seeing this, Sapphire also couldn't help smiling.
After experiencing the shameful sister Jenga posture all night yesterday, she was not only physically developed more mature and plump now, but psychologically not as resistant and shy as at the beginning, considered completely integrated into Hakuya's harem group.
As for her words just now, indeed not wrong—after breaking the shell, treating the first creature seen as the object of reliance and intimacy was the habit of most Pokémon. This was even more so for the loyal and approachable Growlithe.
However...
The girl tilted her head, looking at the little guy burying its head in Hakuya's arms at all times, doubt rising in her heart again.
Normally speaking, Pokémon just hatched from Pokémon Eggs, besides being close to the Trainer, would also have strong curiosity about the surrounding environment.
But this Growlithe before her seemed to have no intention of exploring the room at all. Gaze stuck to Hakuya like a magnet.
This abnormal behavior made Sapphire, with extremely strong observation ability, widen her beautiful eyes slightly.
Then thinking of Miss Gardevoir nympho and Darkrai white-haired yandere who also joined the orgy last night, a bold guess also emerged in her mind accordingly.
Mmm... could Brother Hakuya be a human-shaped incubus with special attack on Pokémon?!
Not noticing Sapphire's strange gaze, Hakuya gently placed the little Growlithe on the ground.
Ordinary Growlithe's height was roughly around 0.7 meters. But because just hatched from the Pokémon Egg, her body size was obviously much smaller, barely reaching half. Estimating even after humanization, she would still be a dog-type little loli appearance.
"Then, please treat me well in the future."
"Woof..."
Facing the Luxury Ball handed to her by the Trainer, the little guy didn't hesitate at all, raising her soft meat pad small paw to press on it.
Unlike capturing in the wild and finishing directly, facing such newborn Pokémon, had to clean their bodies first, then take them to Nurse Joy in the Pokémon Center for body scanning check with professional instruments.
