Chapter 466: Whose Sprigatito Is This?
Early morning.
Will felt his chest a bit breathless, and as if some little thing was "making biscuits" on him.
This feeling was so familiar.
It even gave Will the illusion of dreaming back to his third life.
He opened his eyes blankly.
A teary-eyed Sprigatito was standing on his chest.
"Sprigatito?!"
Will hugged the kitten and sprang up, his eyes full of pleasant surprise.
But a moment later, a doubtful expression appeared on his face, and his originally excitedly pricked ears also drooped down.
This is not his Big Cat.
His Big Cat is a Meowscarada.
It's also impossible for the Big Cat in her Sprigatito period to appear in front of him.
Because Will remembers very clearly.
When Big Cat was still a Sprigatito, she was very clingy, inseparable from him, never separated.
So it's impossible to travel through time and space to appear in front of him now.
The most crucial point is.
The feeling this Sprigatito gave him was different from Big Cat.
Not the feeling of a daughter.
"Sigh, face-blind again."
Will reached out and rubbed his head, putting the Sprigatito in his hand on the bed,
"Whose Sprigatito are you? Did Cynthia bring you here?"
He looked at this little guy who couldn't even stand steadily, couldn't help smiling gently.
As if seeing the newly born Sprigatito back then.
But this little guy looks like crying, what's wrong?
Will could feel the Sprigatito's heart was full of panic, seemingly feeling unfamiliar and confused about her surroundings.
"Hiss!"
Sprigatito opened her mouth trying to speak, but the result was a hoarse sound.
That kind of sound was like a wild cat hissing.
"Um, problem with the throat?"
Will didn't expect.
This is also a little mute.
He reached out his hand, trying to use Aura Power to heal Sprigatito's throat.
But the effect was poor.
Sprigatito's throat didn't have any external injuries; unable to speak seemed to be just because she drank something and got stimulated.
It should only be temporary.
Unfortunately.
Will's Aura Power can only transmit sound to others unilaterally.
Cannot hear the voice in others' hearts.
So he couldn't understand the little guy's meaning either.
Grumble...
At this time, Sprigatito's stomach made a grumbling sound.
"Baby's tummy is thundering?"
Will smiled and reached out to rub the little guy's little head, picking her up,
"Let's go, take you out to eat good things first."
"Hiss..."
Sprigatito lay in Will's arms, somewhat wanting to cry but having no tears.
I won't be unable to change back, right?
Click!
The room door closed.
One minute later.
"Cynthia?! Found the antidote!"
Professor Sycamore pushed open the room door and rushed in.
However, looking at the empty bedroom, he fell into a brief confusion.
The origin of the matter traces back to the middle of the night yesterday.
In order to figure out the individual differences between those stones, he called two more researchers to assist.
Cynthia was curious in her heart, and also wanted to help, so she stayed to act as an assistant.
However, things went bad due to her own poor physique and recent lack of sleep.
During the process of doing experiments.
Suddenly made a huge discovery, so overly excited leading to dizziness, her eyes went black, and she actually fell backward.
This fall knocked over quite a few things.
Including an experimental potion transported from the Paldea region; the tentative name of the potion is—Somatic Empathy Spray.
The purpose of the experiment is to try to let trainers and Pokémon achieve sensory sharing in a short time, to enhance the tacit understanding between both parties, and even achieve legendary telepathy.
But...
This is ultimately just an experimental product.
The effects between every dose of this experimental product are unpredictable.
According to previous experimental results...
Someone achieved vision exchange of one eyeball.
Someone felt they grew a non-existent tail.
Someone had nothing happen to them.
When that potion was knocked over, a mist instantly permeated the entire laboratory.
But the ones who finally had effects were only Cynthia and a researcher's Pokémon—Sprigatito.
And the effect of their dose currently seems to be...
Consciousness exchange.
After the incident.
They immediately let the Sprigatito who turned into Cynthia stay obediently in the safe room.
And the Cynthia who turned into Sprigatito felt very panicked, insisting on returning to her room to find Lucario to feel a bit more at ease.
As for Sycamore.
He had his assistant deliver the antidote overnight.
Who would have expected.
He brought it over at the first moment after getting the antidote, only to find Cynthia missing.
"Probably went out to play with Lucario... not a big problem."
Sycamore yawned, deciding to go back and catch up on sleep first.
He didn't know that potion stimulated Cynthia's throat, making her unable to speak.
He thought Will already knew Cynthia's identity, so he took her out to experience the life of a Pokémon.
At this moment.
On the streets of Snowbelle City.
Will had already run out holding the kitten, specifically informing Nurse Joy before leaving.
If any trainer lost a Sprigatito, please wait at the Pokémon Center, he would safely bring the kitten back.
Fine snowflakes floated down from the sky.
A tiny snowflake fell on the nose of the kitten in Will's arms, making the little guy shiver from the cold.
Before she could start trembling.
Will was seen buying a towel from a convenience store on the roadside, wrapping Sprigatito up like a little quilt.
"Hiss..."
Cynthia looked up at Will, smiling at him.
Her own Lucario.
Is really a warm big dog.
Will couldn't understand what this little thing was saying, reaching out and tugging her little tail.
Cynthia shook her tail.
Feeling uncomfortable.
So she opened her mouth and pretended to bite Will's arm.
Telling Lucario to stop tugging her tail.
However, Will completely didn't notice her action at this time, just giggling to himself.
Haven't tugged Big Cat's tail in a long time...
Thinking of this.
Will's smile gradually restrained, looking at the Sprigatito in his arm showing a nostalgic expression.
"?"
Cynthia looked at Will and tilted her head, showing a doubtful and caring expression.
"Nothing, just, seeing you reminds me of my daughter."
Will rubbed the kitten's chin, smiling warmly.
When did Lucario have a daughter, is he talking about Magearna?
They haven't been separated for a few days.
Several invisible little question marks popped up on Cynthia's little head.
Will strolled around Snowbelle City holding Sprigatito.
Seeing delicious things, he would buy a little for Sprigatito to taste.
Those were all things Big Cat liked to eat.
But looking at it now.
The taste of this kitten is a bit different from Meowscarada.
Big Cat liked to eat sour things.
But this child likes to eat sweet things, just like Cynthia.
"Hold on tight."
Will lifted the kitten up, placing her on his head.
He could feel two little paws grabbing his ears, while Sprigatito's two hind feet stepped on the back of his head.
This posture is weird.
Feels like a clumsy kitten.
Clumsier than Big Cat when she was little.
One must know Sprigatito had never seen other Sprigatitos when she was little, even rarely saw other cats; growing up following by Will's side, almost no habits of normal cats could be seen on her.
But this kitten.
Even more so.
"Burp~"
The kitten let out a weird-sounding burp.
Then she rubbed her bulging little belly signaling Will.
"Full?"
Will smiled and extended a finger, drawing circles on Sprigatito's forehead.
Cynthia nodded obediently.
She suddenly felt...
Being a Pokémon seems quite interesting too.
Able to "get acquainted" with Lucario from another angle.
Able to look at him and understand him from another angle.
Next.
Will took Sprigatito to bask in the sun in a nearby park.
Unfortunately, the sunlight in Snowbelle City is not that warm; Will was a bit dissatisfied.
But Cynthia felt quite comfortable.
Lucario lay on the lawn.
She lay on Lucario's stomach.
The whole body felt like lying on a soft, warm bed.
Very comfortable.
An experience she never had before.
Will reached out a hand, gently stroking Sprigatito's stomach.
At first, Cynthia was a bit embarrassed, her face blushing, using her little legs to kick Will's hand.
But soon she was dominated by that comfortable feeling.
Lucario's massage is so comfortable.
How can he be so skilled?
Will definitely ask Lucario to massage me frequently in the future.
Cynthia lay flat on Will's stomach in a '大' (big) shape, her whole body limp having already reduced to a puddle of cat, her little tail swinging left and right comfortably.
Don't know when.
Cynthia fell asleep.
When she woke up again opening her eyes, the sky had already become dusky.
"Slept for so long."
Cynthia stretched comfortably.
The feeling of having an extra tail is a bit weird, she still wasn't quite used to it.
Turned her head to look, looking at her own tiny tail, actually feeling it's quite cute.
Taking a glance around.
She was actually lying on Lucario's big tail.
She extended two paws rubbing Will's tail, then hugged it tightly, rubbing her cheek against it fiercely.
Will, who was walking, turned his head to look, narrowing his eyes and smiling.
In the past, Meowscarada also liked to stay on his tail.
Sceptile's tail is very big, and full of leaves, a very comfortable hotbed for a Grass-type Pokémon like Meowscarada.
"Right, this is for you."
Will's voice sounded.
Cynthia froze for a moment; looking up she saw a little wooden doll appearing in front of her.
That was a little wooden doll of Sceptile.
"Originally wanted to buy a Piplup, but there seems to be none here, so bought a Sceptile."
Will's voice came from above again.
Cynthia doubtfully tilted her head.
Why Piplup?
Why Sceptile?
If he bought Riolu, Gible, Poochyena, Druddigon, Victini...
She could understand these.
But why Piplup or Sceptile?
Cynthia couldn't understand, and didn't delve into it, just blankly stared at the little wooden doll stuffed into her arms.
A moment later.
She hugged the little wooden doll tightly in her arms.
Cynthia felt as if she was about to change back to a human.
Her short yet happy "life" as a Sprigatito seemed to be ending.
Today's memory.
Is a little secret belonging to her alone.
