Tetsuya carried the incubator with the Torchic Egg inside upstairs and entered his room.
He carefully secured it on the table and then lay down on his bed, activating the projection mode on his newly bought wristwatch to pay and start reading papers published by Alliance Researchers.
Night gradually deepened, and the surroundings fell into silence.
Tetsuya also gradually fell asleep.
Only the incubator on the table and the Torchic Egg inside occasionally flickered with a faint red light.
Two days later, at noon, the sun shone brightly.
Tetsuya had just finished his morning training with Pidgeot and returned home to eat lunch.
The egg in the incubator placed beside him suddenly began to emit a white light.
Tetsuya was delighted. This was the sign that it was about to hatch, just like when Pidgey hatched back then.
Calculating the time, the Torchic Egg had been in the incubator for over 50 hours, which was within the normal hatching time for its species, so it wasn't premature.
In Tetsuya's mind, it felt like a long time had passed before the white light gradually dissipated.
"Chamo!"
A tender cry rang out, and a Pokemon with a primarily orange body and two small wings appeared before Tetsuya.
Torchic's eyes widened as it looked at the handsome giant before it.
Most Young Pokemon regard the first creature they see upon hatching as their parent, and Torchic was no exception.
"Hello there, little guy!" Tetsuya responded to Torchic's greeting with a smile.
"Cha!" Torchic's eyes narrowed into slits, and it chirped happily.
Tetsuya gently extended his hands and held the newborn Torchic in his palms, smoothing its slightly messy feathers after breaking out of the shell.
Torchic lay lazily, covered in fluffy feathers. It felt warm and cozy in his hands.
Newborn Pokemon are still quite fragile, and Torchic soon fell into a deep sleep under Tetsuya's careful attention.
Tetsuya carefully placed the sleeping Torchic into the small bed specifically prepared for Young Pokemon.
He silently thought, "Zero, analyze and then open Torchic's panel."
Soon, a blue panel visible only to Tetsuya appeared in his line of sight.
[Torchic]
Category: Chick Pokemon
Type: Fire
Height: 0.18m (Average is 0.4m)
Weight: 1kg (Average is 2.5kg)
Ability: Blaze (When its HP is low in a critical situation, the power of Fire-type moves increases)
Hidden Ability: Speed Boost (Pokemon with this ability will continuously increase their speed as time progresses in battle, up to their limit)
Moves: Scratch, Peck, Growl, Counter (Egg Move), Overheat (Egg Move), Agility (Egg Move)
Level: 1 (Young Stage, cannot battle)
Potential: Champion
Training Method: The Young Stage should focus on development. Materials are as follows: Nutrient Potion, Mareep Milk, Vitamin Tablet.
After the Young Stage, it is recommended to prioritize training the Pokemon's leg muscles. Its development after birth is 1.44 times that of the same species, with the possibility of further growth after training. (Diet after weighted training is as follows: Chansey's Egg)
Secondly, it is recommended to mix Spicy Cherry Berry and Choco Berry to enhance the intensity of the Fire Energy within the Pokemon. Subsequently, the proportion of Choco Berry should gradually increase.
Note: Detected that the Fire Energy intensity within this Pokemon is 0.5 times higher than that of its peers, indicating extremely high Fire Talent. The mixing ratio of Spicy Cherry Berry and Choco Berry has been adjusted from the original 5:1 to 3:1.
Furthermore, based on the Pokemon's performance, without specific data, its reaction is detected to be at least twice that of the same species, indicating extremely high Fighting Talent. Further plans require a detailed report.
Additionally, the Speed Boost ability needs further development—refer to Professor Birch's paper "Research on the Hidden Ability Speed Boost of Torchic" for specifics.
Tetsuya gasped at the analysis provided by Zero.
Putting aside the talents mentioned later, what the heck were these three Egg Moves?
Counter, Overheat, Agility—these were either extremely powerful moves or moves with high tactical value.
And they were Fighting Type, Fire Type, and Psychic Type moves respectively.
What in the world were its parents that such a mixed bag of Egg Moves could appear?
Normal Blaziken certainly wouldn't know Counter and Agility.
This almost overturned the knowledge framework Tetsuya had built over so many years in this world.
Moreover, the three Egg Moves perfectly explained why this Torchic had such good Fighting Talent and Fire Talent.
Inheriting a powerful Fire-type move basically determined that the Fire Energy within this Pokemon was high in both intensity and quality, or rather, a Pokemon with slightly poorer aptitude wouldn't even be able to inherit a move like Overheat.
And Counter and Agility could further improve its physical fitness and reaction talent.
It could be said that Egg Moves and aptitude complemented each other. A Pokemon with poor aptitude couldn't inherit good moves, while good Egg Moves would also drive changes in the Pokemon's aptitude.
Tetsuya instantly felt secure seeing this panel. If you told him this potential wasn't Champion level, he wouldn't believe you.
A Pidgeot with Elite Four potential only inherited Twister, which isn't even a powerful ultimate move.
But look at this Torchic's inherited moves. The entire panel clearly screams in big, bold letters: "I am a strong second generation."
Not to mention the data provided by Zero completely shows that Torchic has extraordinary talent compared to its peers.
You have to understand that these decimal multipliers, when converted to percentages, range from thirty to forty at the low end, and eighty to ninety at the high end, which is incredibly absurd.
In high-level battles, being just ten percent stronger than the opponent basically allows you to suppress them. How much more so with Torchic's comprehensive talent suppression?
Let's put it this way, Tetsuya estimated that under the same Level conditions (before reaching Champion), as long as the opponent's Pokemon isn't some heaven-defying potential reaching Legendary Pokemon, Torchic could easily take on three at once.
If there's a type advantage, then two. Let's be humble.
At least Tetsuya doesn't think there are that many Pokemon in the world with both Champion potential and these powerful inherited skills.
Even if there are, it's a fifty-fifty split at worst, isn't it?
Moreover, Tetsuya has full confidence that his command is definitely among the best of his peers and won't hold Torchic back.
After all, he also has talent.
Tetsuya started fantasizing about the future again.
Once it evolves into Blaziken, won't any opponent who comes its way just die?
But Tetsuya quickly calmed down, because he suddenly realized a problem.
"The mixing ratio of Spicy Cherry Berry and Choco Berry has been adjusted from the original 5:1 to 3:1."
This simple sentence from Zero contained despair-inducing information.
Tetsuya's brain worked rapidly. The proportion of Choco Berry changed from sixteen percent to twenty-five percent, meaning the training cost increased by sixty percent.
Subtracting the cost of Spicy Cherry Berry, the overall cost increased by approximately fifty percent.
If the training for Fighting Type and other areas also increased by this proportion, the original plan of 8 million to train to Elite Level would require an additional investment of nearly 4 million?!
Tetsuya quickly calculated. He still had about 5.8 million, plus the 1.8 million that hadn't been spent yet.
I also need to add that the updates tonight will probably be a bit later than before, around nine to ten o'clock. The time is uncertain because an extra chapter requires more writing time...
On weekends, it will be earlier, maybe around eight or nine in the evening, depending on the specific writing speed.
Did I mention that revising is making me a bit bald...
Please invest, collect, and recommend!!!
