The invisible Dragapult tensed up, pressing down on the Dreepy perched atop its head, and looked gravely at this Garchomp.
This Garchomp seemed very dangerous to Dragapult!
It posed a real threat to its existence.
With so many Dragon-type Pokémon around and Dragon Energy so chaotic, the opponent couldn't accurately sense Dragapult's presence.
If it were a more isolated environment, Dragapult felt it might not be able to hide for long.
The Garchomp didn't pay much attention to the presence of Dragapult beside Natsuhiko, instead focusing its gaze on the Pokémon Egg in front of him.
But upon seeing the Pokémon Egg, even the battle-hardened Garchomp couldn't help narrowing its eyes.
"Roar..."
This aura...
Other Pokémon around might not sense it strongly, not only because they're not powerful enough but also because their lives have been too short to experience certain events and understand the specifics.
But this Garchomp was different.
It recognized almost instantly the origin of this Pokémon Egg.
Its expression was visibly stunned.
How did the child of that figure end up here?
Hilona was also surprised by the appearance of this Garchomp.
Because she knew the status of this Garchomp in this Alternate Space and understood its significance.
As long as it was here, brute force alone would find it very difficult to enter this Alternate Space; it served as a Guardian God here.
No one knew how long it had lived.
In the recorded history of Shenhe Town, it seemed this Garchomp had always been present.
Hilona's Garchomp had quite a close lineage with it.
If truth be told, Hilona's Garchomp should call it "Great-Grandfather."
However, Natsuhiko was unaware of what was unfolding at this moment.
Because he and the Dragon-type Pokémon Egg before him were completely enveloped in white light, and what was happening outside was hardly affecting him.
As if, within this white light, all space and time had lost their original meaning.
He carefully took the Dragon Egg out of the Incubator.
The time displayed on the Incubator was no longer of any reference value.
Even without using his psychic abilities, just holding the Pokémon Egg in his hand, Natsuhiko could clearly feel the visibly apparent vitality of the Pokémon Egg.
It was about to hatch!
Though unclear why the egg's incubation had accelerated.
But even without this beam of white light, under the blessing of the Volcarona Cocoon, it would hatch within two months, which is one reason why Natsuhiko chose Dragon-type as the Dojo's attribute.
Natsuhiko was rather relieved that this accelerated incubation process hadn't harmed the Pokémon Egg itself.
It might even lead to unexpected changes.
Suddenly.
The Pokémon Egg stopped shaking.
Crack!!
A crack abruptly appeared on the eggshell, and the sound of shattering tugged at Natsuhiko's heartstrings, even making his heart skip a beat.
Crack-crack-crack—
More cracks appeared, densely distributed around the main fissure, quickly spreading and expanding.
Then, the cracked area began to tremble, as if something inside was violently struggling.
Fine fragments fell from the egg.
Under Natsuhiko's eager gaze.
Gulp—
A small blue and white head, accompanied by an innocent, curious look, emerged from the shell!
Hatchling delight!
And when Natsuhiko locked eyes with this little one's pure gaze, he froze completely.
Simply some sound effects could no longer describe his current feelings.
Because inside this Pokémon Egg was actually a...
Latios?!
——————
Ummm... surprise, unexpected outcome? Hatchling delight, Latios~~
