Route 121.
Today, Ash and his companions finally left the dense jungle near Fortree City and arrived on the road approaching Lilycove City.
Here, the plants had returned to the normal height of ordinary trees.
"Safari Zone!"
Halfway there, a wooden house with a huge sign hanging on it caught their attention. Behind the wooden house was a vast, sprawling area.
"The Safari Zone, huh..."
The group stopped on the road to gaze at it. Ash, for his part, recalled his results from the two Safari Zones in the Kanto and Johto Region.
Sixty bulls! Fifty-nine Tauros, plus one Afro Tauros that got mixed in by accident.
"But right now..."
Ash quickly ran through the Pokémon he was currently carrying.
Combusken and Grovyle were in a phase of rapid growth, and Corphish was probably about to evolve soon...
Swellow and Torkoal still needed more integration and training.
As for Regieleki... uh, for this one, it was actually he who needed to better adapt to Regieleki's high-speed, high-attack battle style.
All things considered, he already had plenty on his plate to worry about.
"I don't need to catch anything for now. How about you guys?"
Ash turned and asked the others beside him.
*Thump, thump, thump...!!*
Before anyone could answer, Blue's backpack suddenly started to shake as if something was about to jump out.
"I'm giving birth!"
She reacted instantly, quickly unzipping her backpack and carefully lifting out her Pokémon egg.
*Bzz! Bzz!*
The egg began to shake more violently, and its shell started to bloom with a strange white light—a sign that it was about to hatch.
Counting the days, it seemed about right for the half-month timeline that Master Gold had mentioned.
*Thump, thump, thump...!*
At the same moment, Ash's backpack also began to shake.
"I'm giving birth too!"
Ash quickly struck the same pose, placing his Pokémon egg, which also came from the Day Care near Mauville City, next to hers.
In a flash of light, the eggshells were completely covered.
"So this is Pokémon hatching...?"
This was the first time Sawyer had ever witnessed such a scene. The white light flickered in his eyes, and he watched with great anticipation.
*Tap...!*
*Tap...!*
Then, one after the other, from the left and the right, two sounds like cracking eggshells rang out.
"This is?!"
Before Blue, a small, purplish-black beast had appeared. It looked like a short, impish little figure with sharp claws.
The most peculiar feature was its eyes, where two hexagonal gemstones sat in place of eyeballs.
"Beep. Sableye, the Darkness Pokémon. A Ghost and Dark-type. It lives in caves and feeds on ore and gemstones. It likes to get attention by playing pranks, but this is because they are too lonely in the dark caves."
Sawyer's Pokédex automatically reported.
"It doesn't look like the one in the Pokédex..."
Sawyer let out a gasp of surprise. In the Pokédex, Sableye's eyes were both light-blue gemstones.
But the Sableye that had just hatched for Blue had one light-blue gemstone eye, while the other... was a deep red?
Was it a Sableye with yin-yang eyes?!
The different-colored eyes made this Sableye look exceptionally uncanny and grim.
"Heh-hoo..."
However, the newly born Sableye didn't seem to be in a pranking mood at all. Instead, it cowered timidly in a ball.
It was a naturally timid Pokémon, only finding the courage to pull pranks when shrouded in absolute darkness.
"Heh-hoo...!"
Sableye's gaze darted about in a panic before finally locking onto the human girl in front of it. It had sensed this aura since it was in the egg; it was very familiar.
"Sableye, it's a pleasure to meet you~!"
Blue gently picked up the baby Sableye, not bothering to hide her affection.
It seemed Master Gold's great empowerment technique had worked, giving birth to a Yin-Yang Sableye.
"Here~ This is a gift for you~!"
Blue even handed Sableye a small orb. The little Pokémon's face lit up with joy as it grabbed the orb, unable to part with it.
This species of Pokémon has a natural love for shiny minerals like gemstones and orbs.
Moreover, Sableye could sense a very comforting aura from this small orb.
"Wait a minute, this thing..."
Brock's brow furrowed. The center of the small orb had a curved mark...
A Sableye Mega Stone?!
"Hehe~!"
Blue looked quite pleased with herself as she placed Sableye on her shoulder. She still had over a dozen Mega Stones on her, so it wasn't a big deal.
This made everyone around them look on with envy.
Life was good when you had a powerful backer. They, too, wanted to ride the coattails of Blue (manga character)!
"Jikikiki~!!"
But soon, a cry from the other side drew everyone's attention.
Before Ash, a mischievous purple monkey had hatched.
Its face, feet, and the tip of its tail were a pale yellow. Its long, arm-like tail stood out in particular, making its short arms seem more like decorations in comparison.
"Beep. Aipom, the Long Tail Pokémon. A Normal-type. Its versatile tail can do more things than its hands. It has a mischievous nature and often causes trouble for others with its pranks."
Sawyer's Pokédex reported. It was another Pokémon that loved to play pranks.
"Jikikiki~!"
This baby Aipom wasn't timid like Sableye. Instead, it wore a sly grin, revealing a row of crooked teeth.
A bit like Corphish, it was already jumping and bouncing all over the place the moment it came out.
"Look at its cheeks!"
Just then, Brock noticed something and quickly pointed it out.
Following his finger, they saw two small markings on Aipom's cheeks, shaped like lightning bolts or the letter "Z".
They were only about two centimeters long.
"Uh..."
Ash raised an eyebrow. So, Master Gold's empowerment technique had just given this Aipom a birthmark?
Hmm, I feel like I've seen this mark somewhere before...?
"Jikikiki~!"
This Aipom wasn't shy around strangers. It nimbly leaped onto Ash's arm and, with a few small hops, landed on his other shoulder, perfectly symmetrical with Pikachu.
However, the difference in weight coming from his two shoulders was significant, giving Ash a rather unbalanced feeling.
"I'm so jealous..."
Seeing Ash and Blue both receive their new Pokémon, Brock and Sawyer spoke with considerable envy.
As he spoke, Brock even brought out his own pink, heart-patterned Pokémon egg. It would probably still be a while before it hatched.
Looks like he would have to go for more runs.
Sawyer: "..."
He thought he and Brock were in the same situation... so everyone had an egg?
With each of them having a newborn baby Pokémon, Ash and Blue lost their interest in heading to the Safari Zone.
"Then let's just go straight to Lilycove City!"
Sawyer could only take the lead and show them the way.
He now had three young Pokémon with great future potential, so he wasn't in a hurry to catch a new partner.
