BXBX NOVEL Chapter 374: Amazement
Chapter 374: Amazement
Luna and Rand had returned to Sootopolis City to continue their studies a couple of days earlier.
After her conversation with Muya on New Year's Eve, Muya still spent her days in the shop, but with one difference: she no longer kept to a strict schedule, occasionally disappearing every few days.
Yuga didn't concern himself with her actions.
What did concern him, though, was the Jaboca Berry Tree he had carefully nurtured finally blooming. With the flowers in full bloom, would there be Berrys soon?
On the same day, Houndoom successfully laid a bright red Pokémon egg, bringing immense joy to Ninetales and Houndoom.
Without a doubt, this was an egg that followed it father's, and it had a rare blue potential.
This double joy put Yuga in a very good mood. As he exited the Ecopark and entered the shop, Suzuki Koen said to him, "It's snowing outside!"
Snowing?
Yuga was surprised and headed to the shop's entrance.
Sure enough, the sky was filled with goose-feather-like snowflakes, and there were quite a few children outside cheering.
Hoenn region was a place where it rarely snowed, even coastal areas hardly ever experienced snowfall. So, for Verdanturf Town to have such heavy snowfall was truly unusual.
"Shroomish!"
At that moment, Shroomish suddenly appeared at Yuga's feet, shivering as it gazed at the swirling snowflakes outside. Being a Grass-type Pokémon, Shroomish despised this kind of cold weather.
However, if Yuga tried to send Shroomish to the Ecopark, it refused to go and was content following Yuga around everywhere he went.
These days, Yuga had been training with Shroomish and Charmander.
Shroomish had poor potential, so Yuga wasn't trying to teach it any new moves. Instead, he focused on physical training.
Physical fitness was the most important asset!
For everything else, Yuga would wait until he could get a special Potential Evolution Potion.
Charmander had made significant progress recently. Although it still had a tendency to cry, it no longer resisted training or battles, which pleased Yuga immensely.
He picked up Shroomish from the ground and gazed quietly at the heavy snowfall outside. Shroomish nestled itself snugly into Yuga's arms.
(*≧▽≦) Master's embrace is so warm!
"Chimecho, Chimecho!"
Suddenly, Yuga felt something tighten around his neck, making it difficult to breathe.
It turned out to be Chimecho! Yuga reached out and removed Chimecho, who had wrapped itself around his neck.
Huh? Chimecho? Wasn't it supposed to be in the Ecopark?
"Chimecho, can you control the gravitational field freely now?" Yuga asked Chimecho, who was floating above his head, with excitement.
Of course! Chimecho raised its tiny head proudly and even rolled its eyes at Shroomish!
Phew! Trying to seduce Yuga, you smelly mushroom!
Shroomish wasn't afraid of Chimecho's disdain and shot a defiant glance back. Then, it snuggled even closer into Yuga's arms, irritating Chimecho to no end.
But Yuga remained completely oblivious to the "scheming" of these two Pokémon.
Seeing that Chimecho's issue had finally been resolved, Yuga said happily, "Congratulations, Chimecho! But you should also thank Noctowl who helped you."
"Chimecho, Chimecho!"
There's no need to tell you that! You fickle carrot!
Yuga then used his Insight ability to assess Chimecho's current condition.
...
<
Type: Psychic
Gender: Female
Ability: Levitate
potential: Indigo
Level: 49
Moves: Confusion, Gravity, Heal Pulse, Heal Bell, Synchronoise, Shadow Ball, Safeguard, Uproar, Psyshock, Calm Mind, Light Screen, Psychic, Reflect, Healing Wish, Future Sight, Teleport, Psycho Boost.
...
After reading this, Yuga was dumbfounded.
The transformation was too significant!
The potential had changed from the original blue to indigo, and the level had jumped from 36 to 49, making Chimecho the highest-level Pokémon among Yuga's main team, surpassing Florges at level 48.
What's more, there were nine new Psychic-type moves added!
Among them, Future Sight was an inherited move that the original Chimecho didn't have but had awakened now.
Teleport was a move that Chimecho's species couldn't normally learn, but it had now mastered it.
Most importantly, Chimecho had learned Deoxys's exclusive move—Psycho Boost! While this move had its downsides, it was one of the most powerful Psychic-type moves, rivaling even Future Sight.
Yuga was left speechless by this set of moves. Apart from having a single type, Chimecho was nearly perfect, with attack moves, defense moves, enhancement moves, healing moves, and mobility moves—all covered.
All of this was thanks to that half Energy Core, truly living up to the status of a Legendary Pokémon!
Yuga was amazed, and he wanted to scream!
Chimecho seemed like it was ready to step up and take the lead!
Was he still going to be a nanny? A support? An attacker? An attacker?! An attacker?!! He couldn't emphasize it enough!
"Chimecho, you are amazing!" Yuga exclaimed excitedly.
Yuga pulled Chimecho down and gave it a passionate kiss.
Ew! You pervert!
Chimecho struggled free from Yuga's grasp and slapped him hard across the face, leaving it bright red. However, Yuga, who was overwhelmed with excitement, paid no mind.
Actually, this was what Chimecho was thinking deep down: (*≧▽≦) Let those little vixens step aside! Yuga is mine!
Chimecho's drastic transformation left Yuga in a daze all day, until he received a call from Ryuichi.
"Ryuichi, what's up? Why did you suddenly decide to call me?" Yuga asked curiously.
Ryuichi replied, "Master asked me to tell you that he hopes to meet you in Mauville City before February 22nd."
February 22nd? Isn't that already spring?
Why talk about spring when it's snowing? Mr. Kuni'o doesn't seem to be making much sense!
But why does he want to see me in Mauville City before February 22nd?
"Do you know why Mr. Kuni'o wants to meet me?" Yuga was curious. He had been at the manor for so long, and Mr. Kuni'o had never proactively met with him. What was the purpose this time?
"You'll find out when you get there. But Mr. Kuni'o said it's entirely up to you whether you come or not; he won't force you."
Ryuichi's words only piqued Yuga's curiosity further. However, since Ryuichi wasn't willing to say more, Yuga didn't press the matter further. He would find out everything once he went there.
"Don't worry; I'll go. Both you and Mr. Kuni'o have helped me before, so I'll keep our appointment."
Hearing Yuga's response, Ryuichi was very pleased.
"In that case, both Mr. Kuni'o and I will be waiting for your arrival!"
