The little one, just born, was already chugging a large bottle of cola.
This made Natsume deeply question himself.
"Am I really that lazy?"
Natsume stroked his chin, looking puzzled. "It doesn't make sense!"
"Glug, glug, glug~~~"
Togepi kicked its little feet, eyes curved into crescents, happily holding the large bottle of cola.
"Togepi doo-ee~~<(￣︶￣)>☆"
Its round eggshell and chubby cheeks made it look a bit like a hamster.
Natsume watched Togepi for a while, feeling a sense of realization, and muttered, "I guess… I'm not much better than Gold!"
The newborn Pokémon was full of energy, running around the house happily.
"Gengar! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
Gengar ran behind it in a panic, using its psychic powers to move chairs and tables out of the way to prevent Togepi from bumping into anything.
Natsume looked up at the levitating furniture and quietly swallowed.
Thud!
A cloud of dust filled the air, and amidst the messy living room, Togepi was unharmed.
Both Natsume and Gengar let out a sigh of relief.
"Togepi often plays with children and is a very playful Pokémon."
Natsume patted Gengar, his gaze sincere. "I'll leave it to you to take care of it!"
"Gengar!" Gengar thumped its chest, then suddenly turned pale.
In front of Togepi stood a mountain.
Growlithe lowered its head, bared its teeth, and greeted Togepi.
"Growlithe~"
Natsume: ???
Is that how you greet someone?!
The 'Intimidate' ability triggered, and Togepi took a step back, tears welling up in its eyes.
A blue light shone from Togepi's finger.
「Metronome」!
Natsume's expression changed, and he instinctively looked up at the ceiling.
We just finished renovating… is it going to blow up again?!
Togepi hopped on the ground once, then plopped down, kicking its little feet in frustration.
"Togepi doo-ee~??????"
Togepi used 「Splash」.
Nothing happened!
Amidst a sea of ellipses.
Natsume looked up at the sky.
Is this… the legendary non-luck physique?
But on the other hand, the fact that the house wasn't destroyed might actually be thanks to Togepi's good luck.
"Quantum dynamic luck?" Natsume muttered.
The round Togepi rolled around on the floor.
Growlithe extended its warm tongue and licked Togepi, who immediately stopped crying.
"Growlithe~~"
Growlithe nudged Togepi onto its back with its head, and the two began playing happily.
"Togepi doo-ee~~(??????????)"
Natsume sighed in relief and smiled helplessly. "It's great that they're getting along!"
Sylveon walked over, glanced at Togepi, and turned its head away haughtily.
"You were even more mischievous when you were little."
Natsume smiled. "But look at you now, all grown up and well-behaved."
Sylveon blinked its azure eyes, lost in thought, and finally wrapped its ribbon around Natsume's arm.
"Sylveon! o(｀^｀)o"
...
In the group chat, Natsume asked, "Who should I consult about breeding Togepi…?"
Even as a Breeding Master, one must constantly learn and gather knowledge from others.
Crystal, feeling admiration, replied, "Jasmine from Johto has bred two Togetic… I'll ask her for you."
Natsume nodded. "Thanks~ (Goofy Blush·jpg)"
"Hey! Why isn't anyone asking me?!" Gold shouted. "I'm the Trainer who saved Johto, after all!"
"Togekiss~!" (I want to see my sister!)
The fierce Togekiss let out an exasperated cry in the voice chat.
In the quiet group chat, Yellow timidly said, "I think… it's better not to seek advice from Gold."
Lorelei adjusted her glasses. "Agreed."
Blue Oak nodded. "Seconded."
"You guys!"
Gold sniffled and tagged the big shot he trained with, Red. "Red, say something!"
Red: Haha, Gold's Togekiss is very interesting, a full-of-energy physical attacker.
Gold nodded in satisfaction. "Exactly!"
Natsume looked up at the sky.
That… didn't sound like a compliment at all!
Suddenly, Natsume understood.
Is this… the emotional intelligence of 'The Battler'?!
...
Closing the chat interface.
Crystal sought advice from Jasmine about Togepi's breeding methods.
Jasmine from Johto was the leader of the Steel-type Gym, but her ace Pokémon was an Ampharos named 'Amphy.'
"I… I'm not good with words… um, anyway…"
In the video call.
Jasmine, with chestnut hair tied into two small braids, took a deep breath. "If it's Natsume-sensei… entrusting it to him… is no problem!"
Jasmine had heard of Natsume-sensei before.
While tending to the lighthouse, Jasmine enjoyed watching the "Natsume-sensei's Night Kitchen" series.
Although she appeared gentle and shy… Jasmine had a big appetite, earning her the title of a 'gluttonous girl.'
However, Jasmine was always a bit embarrassed about this…
"I've received the breeding documents!"
Crystal smiled. "By the way, Miss Jasmine… would you like to join our group chat?"
"Group… group chat?"
"Oh, it's Natsume-sensei's fan group… I noticed you follow him on Twitter."
"Please!" Jasmine took a deep breath, nervously saying, "Please… take care of me!"
[Group member 'Crystal' has invited 'Amphy' to join the group chat!]
Natsume, while approving 'Amphy's' request to join the group, was momentarily stunned.
Wow, you guys are recruiting members on your own now!
Is my group chat… actually a collectible card game?!
Gold: Ah! The pretty big sister from Olivine City!
Lorelei's temple twitched.
Why is she the pretty big sister, and I'm the old auntie?!
This grudge, I, the Ice-type Elite Four, will remember!
Opening Jasmine's profile, Natsume glanced at it, confirming she was the girl who used 'Steelix.'
Back in the GBA days, Natsume had gotten stuck for a long time while helping her Ampharos find Potion…
Jasmine was quite introverted and, after greeting Natsume, quietly lurked in the chat.
Following Jasmine's recipe, Natsume made Pokéblocks suitable for Togepi.
In the living room.
The little one quickly integrated into the big family.
"Togepi doo-ee~~~"
Curled up on the sofa, Togepi was watching TV.
Perhaps influenced by Natsume's live streams, Togepi had somehow found a controller and effortlessly connected it to the console…
Natsume: ...
Just as Natsume thought Togepi was about to dive deeper into its path as a homebody by playing games.
Togepi opened the move tutor for 'Protect,' clicked on '#175 Togepi,' and started watching with great interest.
Natsume: ???
Heavens!
Self-directed training…
Is this the 'Pokémon teaching Pokémon' phenomenon?!
