Once again, just like the previous operation when reviving Dreepy.
Peel away the useless fossil.
Then, activate its vitality.
What made Natsuhiko breathe a sigh of relief was that after the device peeled away, the surface of the Fossil Egg was very intact.
Fiery red patterns spiraled on it, like clusters of burning flames.
However.
As the process of activating vitality continued, the smiles on Natsuhiko and Dragapult's faces slowly disappeared.
The Fossil Egg was revived.
And it revived very perfectly, with intact surface and internal vitality.
But it's just...
This vitality is somewhat too low.
Using the Dragon-type Pokémon Egg for comparison, the vitality within the Volcarona's Pokémon Egg can be said to be so weak it's almost indistinguishable.
Of course, this is compared to Natsuhiko's Dragon-type Pokémon Egg.
But even compared to ordinary Pokémon Eggs, the vitality of this Volcarona's Pokémon Egg is too low.
As a half-breeder, Natsuhiko is very clear about what low vitality in a Pokémon Egg signifies.
Either.
The vitality keeps decreasing, eventually becoming a dead egg, with the Pokémon inside perishing.
Or.
It hatches, but the Pokémon inside is inherently deficient, with extremely poor abilities and potential, almost no chance of becoming a battle-type Pokémon.
"Baluya..."
Dragapult stared at the quiet Volcarona's cocoon on the ground, with a complex expression.
How should this be explained to Volcarona?
It's just that Volcarona is still asleep, otherwise there might be another outburst.
Giving hope and then despair is far more impactful than directly giving despair.
Natsuhiko lowered his head, holding the Pokémon Egg emitting a faint warmth, with pursed lips.
"Not entirely without chance."
Slowly squinting his eyes.
"Since Dragon-type Pokémon Eggs can become increasingly vital through external forces, there's no reason this Volcarona's Pokémon Egg couldn't."
As he spoke, it seemed he had found the solution, his tone became more determined.
"What we need to do is find some materials suitable for Fire-type and Insect-type Pokémon to stimulate and restore it."
"Baluya!"
Dragapult nodded firmly.
The promise made to Volcarona was not only by Natsuhiko, but also by it.
Therefore, it would also contribute to this matter.
"Both Fire-type and Insect-type Pokémon represent tenacious life."
Fire-type Pokémon are like blazing flames; as long as the added fuel is good enough, there's no doubt they'll ignite.
Insect-type Pokémon need no further explanation; even limb regeneration is possible.
"I don't believe it."
Natsuhiko took out the prepared incubator and placed the Pokémon Egg inside.
Ignoring the warnings on the incubator about low Pokémon Egg vitality, he stuffed the Volcarona's cocoon and Dragon-type Pokémon Egg into his backpack.
Another Pokémon Egg to take care of.
And it should consume quite a lot of resources.
Another Pokémon to care for as well.
Still a Quasi-God Pokémon.
It's unknown how many resources will be needed daily.
Natsuhiko once again felt his financial strain.
The Dojo construction must be implemented immediately.
Meanwhile, he couldn't rely entirely on the Dojo; it was probably still difficult to harvest from the newly established Pokémon Ranch.
"I still need to find ways to earn extra money..."
Natsuhiko felt that from now on, he would be either earning extra money or on the way to earn extra money...
Oh, almost forgot.
Natsuhiko picked up a shimmering multicolored stone from the ground.
Another one.
Super Evolution Stone!
