Chapter 37 Elf Egg Hatching

pat, pat, pat.

The sound of slippers hitting the ground made Moltres' already accelerated heartbeat even more violently like a drum.

Oops, I accidentally shouted out loud!

What should I do? Should I destroy the body?

But even if you do that, you can't avoid being beaten up.

Just when Moltres' movements became completely stiff, Luo Mu rushed over with a group of Pokémon. When he saw Moltres clearly, standing on one leg like a flamingo and extremely stiff, with visible fear on its face, and the Pokémon egg under Moltres, flashing wildly in the incubator like a flash bomb.

There's something else he doesn't understand.

The wildly beating heart gradually returned to its normal pace, and Luo Mu's concentrated aura suddenly dissipated. Only then did he realize that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

"What? You scared me." Luo Mu let out a long breath, looked at the stiff Moltres, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, the Pokémon egg is fine, it's just a sign that it's about to hatch."

Hearing Luo Mu's words, the five Pokémon that were as ferocious as ghosts and gods also stopped their fighting stance. Knowing that there was nothing to worry about now, they all came forward to take a look at the Pokémon eggs, and then, with the hope that the Pokémon eggs would hatch successfully, they yawned and went back to the house to catch up on their nap.

Oolong comes quickly and goes away quickly.

Luo Mu and the relieved Moltres were left staring at each other. After a few breaths, Luo Mu took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere and said, "Moltres, weren't you hatched from a Pokémon egg? Why are you making such a fuss about this?"

Luo Mu was a little curious, whether these genderless beasts were hatched from elf eggs or born by nature itself.

Moltres was silent for a while, as if recalling past memories, and after a moment it gave an affirmative answer.

"When I regained consciousness and opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the magma all around me. As for the elf eggs you mentioned hatching, I had no impression that they would glow at all."

Luo Mu nodded thoughtfully. According to what the Flame Bird said, it should have been born in a volcano, and it was most likely bred naturally.
Walking in front of Moltres, Luo Mu squatted down and picked up the incubator, and found that the third can of nutrient solution had also turned transparent. In just over a week, this Pokémon egg had completely absorbed all the nutrient solution that an ordinary Pokémon egg would need twenty-one days to absorb.

Looking at the rhythmically glowing Pokémon eggs, Luo Mu was very curious about what kind of Pokémon would hatch from them.

Luo Mu suggested: "Before the elf eggs hatch, let's move to the house and wait slowly."

The weather has not warmed up yet, so let’s provide a warm environment for the new life before it is born.

Moltres had no objection to this. It moved for many days without moving, eating and sleeping all the time, and slowly caught up with Luo Mu's pace.

In front of the main gate, Luo Mu opened the two doors as wide as possible, barely enough for the Moltres to pass through with its wings folded.

Luo Mu asked about Moltres before it entered the door. The flames burning on its body were just like those of Flamebear and Blazebear. As long as it restrained itself intentionally, it would not burn the surrounding environment.

Otherwise, with the wooden furniture and floors in the small house, which are extremely flammable, Luo Mu really didn't dare to put it in.

Bringing Moltres to the fireplace in the living room, Luo Mu threw the firewood in and then looked at Moltres.

Moltres: “?”

Why are you looking at it like that?
Luo Mu said helplessly: "Light a fire, you are the only fire-type Pokémon here, and I can't breathe fire." "Also, just breathe a few small flames, don't set the house on fire."

Moltres: “.”

Moltres never thought that one day it would be reduced to the same role as a lighter and matches. After holding it in for a long time, it did not lose its temper after all. It only felt that during the days it stayed on this farm, its temper and emotions were becoming stable at a very fast speed.

Rolling its eyes at Luo Mu, the Moltres opened its long beak, and three clusters of orange-red flames fell into the fireplace under its control, instantly igniting the firewood. A bright yellow warm light lit up with the fireplace as the center.

"Good control ability." Luo Mu clapped his hands in admiration. Moltres raised its head, feeling very pleased with Luo Mu's praise.

Move the Pokémon egg not far from the fireplace, and next to it is Moltres, which exudes warmth like a little sun. The first step in hatching Pokémon is to create a warm hatching environment.

Luo Mu prepared a few bottles of Moo Moo fresh milk at room temperature that he had specially purchased last time, as well as hot water and a large towel.

Normally, when you have Miss Joy deliver a baby at a Pokémon Center, these are the conditions you'd expect, aside from some monitoring equipment.

Luo Mu stayed by the fireplace with Moltres, adding some firewood from time to time and guarding the Pokémon egg.

This guard lasts for a whole day.

Until all the Pokémon who were out taking care of the farm returned to the house, they surrounded the Pokémon Egg in three layers inside and outside. The sky gradually became dim, and the flashing frequency of the Pokémon Egg finally reached a peak.

The almost continuous flashing made the elf egg look like a large light bulb that glowed continuously.

At this time, the air in the room was filled with tension. Even the two little puppies, who were usually lively and active, noticed this and sat next to Bai Pengpeng very obediently.

Finally, when the light reached a peak, the crisp sound of the eggshell breaking startled everyone and Pokémon present.

Click, click——

The eggshell was breaking faster and faster, and the little life in the elf egg realized that this was its only chance to leave the elf egg. The nutrient solution bought by Luo Mu allowed its originally weak body to regain strength. The little life in the elf egg put all its strength into using the little horns on its head to support the inner shell of the elf egg.

In the silent environment, even Moltres couldn't help but follow Luo Mu and the others, silently cheering for the little life in the Pokémon egg with encouraging eyes.

Moltres didn't know whether it was infected by Luo Mu and the others, or whether it had developed different emotions because of its inseparable relationship with the Pokémon egg during this extremely short period of its life.

Moltres, who once regarded all weak beings as ants, now sincerely hopes that the extremely weak life in the Pokémon egg can be born into this world.

The hatching of the elf egg only lasted three minutes, but these three minutes seemed as long as a whole year.

"Woo~~~"

At the moment when the sky completely stepped into darkness from dusk, a short and loud cry was like the dawn, bringing new life.

Luo Mu smiled with relief on his face and said softly, "Little guy, welcome to this beautiful world!"
