100 P.S -1 Bonus chapter
Aria's three-day holiday passed quickly. The next time she returned home, it would likely be another half year, so during these three days, not only did David stay with her, but his parents also made time to remain at home—something they rarely did.
After breakfast, it was time for Aria to leave.
To save time, Aria had already prepared to depart early in the morning. As she left, David watched his older sister fly off on her Dragonite from their backyard, and he couldn't help but show a look of envy on his face.
He recalled that in his previous life, in that ordinary world, he had once fantasized that if he could one day be transported to the Pokémon world, he would definitely fly through the sky with his Pokémon partners, soaring above the sea of clouds. What an incredible experience that would be!
His father, who rarely saw his son with such an expression, chuckled quietly and stepped forward to pat David's shoulder.
"Don't envy your older sister. You'll also have your day of riding a Dragon-type Pokémon through the skies, but it's not an easy task to bond with a Dragon-type Pokémon. You still need to work hard, son!"
"Just wait a little longer. It won't be long now. How can a child of our family not have a Dragon-type Pokémon by their side!"
By the end of his speech, a mysterious aura radiated from him, giving off a rather commanding presence.
David stared at his father, stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously. He turned and ran straight back upstairs, grabbed Zorua and Riolu's Poké Ball and egg, and called out, "I'm going out to train! I won't be back for lunch!" before quickly departing.
"That boy..."
David's parents at the door both smiled and shook their heads at the sight.
Ascending Dragon Gym
Inside the training room, David sat in a chair, continuing to revise his training plan. Over the past few days, he had gained some new insights and was updating his previous schedule. Zorua, as usual, was exercising on the treadmill nearby.
Just before starting training today, David had given the third Speed-enhancing vitamin to Zorua. However, each Pokémon can only consume a maximum of three doses of each type of vitamin, so this was Zorua's last Speed vitamin.
Just as David was absorbed in his new training plan, the Pokémon incubator placed at the side of the field suddenly started beeping, interrupting his thoughts.
Coming back to his senses, David quickly dropped the items in his hand and hurried to the incubator. Originally, according to the breeding center's estimated timeframe, the egg should have taken a while longer to hatch, but perhaps it was due to his persistent resonance with the Pokémon egg using Aura over the past few days.
Riolu was about to hatch!
Watching the slightly trembling Pokémon egg in front of him, David's heart stirred with anticipation. Unlike the excited joy he felt when he first arrived in this world and met Zorua, a different feeling emerged in his heart as he looked at this small life about to be born into his care.
Crack... Crack...
As the trembling intensified, white light began to appear. With the sound of something shattering, the light suddenly burst forth, and dazzling white brilliance filled his vision. David's sight darkened for a moment before returning to normal.
Inside the incubator before him, the Pokémon egg with faint blue patterns was now covered with spiderweb-like cracks.
Following the continuous spread of the cracks, the entire Pokémon egg shattered completely.
"Ri... olu..."
Just as David's heart was racing with anticipation, after a tender cry, the small figure finally emerged from the broken eggshell, opening its sleepy eyes and beginning to curiously observe the world around it.
Like Zorua, the Riolu in the real world was far more lively than the images from his previous life's games and anime.
Its soft fur was a mix of blue and black, and its small blue tail wagged constantly. As soon as it was born, Riolu looked at David with a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
Seeing David approach with a warm smile, Riolu extended its head and gently nuzzled against him.
"Please take good care of me from now on, Riolu!" David reached out, carefully picked up the newborn Riolu, and said with a gentle smile.
"Ri... olu~"
A newly hatched Pokémon will have a far greater sense of attachment to the first creature it sees than usual. This is a natural instinct, and Riolu was no exception—not to mention the resonance of their Aura during the past few days.
In David's arms, the newly born Riolu affectionately rubbed against him, its large eyes quietly gazing at the person who held it, as if trying to engrave him in its memory forever.
"From now on, we're partners, Riolu!" David whispered to the Riolu in his arms, then turned his head to look behind him.
"Zorua, come here and meet our new partner!"
Hearing David's call, Zorua finally stopped its training, quickly darted over, and settled beside David, casting its gaze toward the Riolu in his arms.
"Ri... olu?!"
Seeing Zorua suddenly appear, Riolu was startled and quickly pressed itself further into David's arms.
"Don't be afraid, Riolu. Zorua is my first Pokémon and also your partner. It won't hurt you. You two should get along well from now on!"
Although Riolu didn't fully understand David's words, it subconsciously calmed down and then poked its head out to tentatively look at Zorua beside them.
"Zorua..." Zorua greeted the newborn in a friendly manner.
"Ri... olu..."
"Zorua~"
"Riolu..."
With this back-and-forth exchange, Riolu shed its initial fear and began to get acquainted with Zorua.
David smiled warmly at this scene. After telling Zorua to rest for a while, he carried Riolu to the training facility's bathroom. It's important to gently wash away any residual fluid from a newborn Pokémon with warm water. David naturally wouldn't forget such an important precaution.
David and Riolu spent some time in the bathroom together. Fortunately, Riolu was very obedient. Perhaps because David had kept the egg by his side and resonated with Riolu's Aura every day during the past few days, Riolu was exceptionally well-behaved in his presence, so the two got along remarkably well.
After rinsing Riolu clean, David took a soft towel and wrapped the little Pokémon in it. After all, a newborn Pokémon needs to be handled with extreme care—it wouldn't be good if Riolu caught a chill due to carelessness. Only then did he carry the well-wrapped Riolu back to the training room.
Returning to the training room, he took out the Moomoo Milk he had prepared earlier. Newborn Pokémon have delicate digestive systems, so it's best not to feed them Berries or energy cubes directly yet. Giving them nutritious Moomoo Milk is sufficient for now.
"Ri... olu~"
Looking at the milk bottle in front of it, Riolu showed a longing expression but still looked up at David, as if asking, "Aren't you going to drink with me?"
Seeing this adorable reaction, David's heart melted, and he could barely suppress the smile spreading across his face.
"Go ahead and drink! It's fine—I have plenty more. You can drink as much as you want." He said, gesturing to a box of Moomoo Milk bottles on the table nearby.
Gulp... Gulp... Gulp...
Only then did Riolu pick up the bottle with both small paws, drinking the milk in large gulps while showing an expression of pure contentment. After drinking three bottles of Moomoo Milk in succession, Riolu finally stopped, satisfied. It let out two tiny yawns and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, David gently stepped forward and adjusted the towel covering the sleeping Pokémon.
After finishing everything, David finally relaxed. Now that he was free, he sat down, opened his Pokédex, and began to check Riolu's data.
