Chapter 142 Iron-Headed Baby Dragon

Chapter 142 Iron-Headed Baby Dragon
(The image shows the baby dragon from the Zhu Zi Illustrated Guide)

Why was Qingyu so sure that the dragon egg contained a baby dragon?
Because just a few seconds ago, while he was staring at the dragon egg, information about it had already appeared before his eyes.

Baby Dragon (Male) (Soon to Hatch)

[Attribute: Dragon]

[Characteristics: Hard Head]

[Extremely stubborn personality]

Qingyu always believed that a Pokémon's personality is largely influenced by its environment.

But judging from this baby dragon egg, this little guy seems to be a stubborn little devil even before it hatches...

As if to confirm Qingyu's idea, the Pokémon egg in Adu's hand occasionally made a muffled sound, as if something inside was about to hatch.

"This...this is far too valuable."

Qingyu stood there, stunned, but did not reach out to take it.

Because he felt that he hadn't done anything special, just doing live streams and editing videos as usual.

My original purpose for streaming was to provide some help to other trainers.

He can't possibly play games just to torment his opponents and the audience... (eyes shift)

As for the trainers who were influenced by him, it's already quite kind of them to give him small gifts in the live stream.

Therefore, Adu's gift of gratitude was far too precious for him.

"No need to be polite, Qingyu."

A-Du shook his head and continued speaking with a serious expression.

"Before coming to Padia, I had absolutely no idea what kind of person you were or whether you were qualified to ride dragons."

"But from the first moment I saw you, I knew you would definitely be an excellent trainer worthy of the title of 'Dragon Tamer'."

As she spoke, Adu looked up at Qingyu's clear eyes.

Although he speaks humbly and gently, his eyes reveal an undisguised confidence. How could such a trainer be an ordinary person?

A-Du lowered his head and looked at the precious dragon egg in his hand.

As a lucky trainer possessing the power of Everlasting, he could clearly feel—

"This baby dragon, which hasn't hatched yet, seems to really enjoy being near you. It's become very active since just now, and its vitality has become even stronger. It might hatch at any moment."

"I think it's because it has accepted you as its trainer, right?"

It's a very mystical feeling, but sometimes the bond between people and Pokémon is formed through that mysterious connection.

It seems I made the right decision to come here.

"So please accept it."

Adu spoke solemnly again, even presenting the baby dragon's egg to Qingyu with both hands.

"alright, I got it."

Qingyu nodded helplessly and took the heavy giant egg from Adu's hands.

Seeing his posture, Qingyu knew it would be impolite to refuse again.

Besides...

If what A-Du says is true, then this baby dragon has already accepted him as its trainer.

Therefore, he should try his best to meet its expectations.

He held the dragon egg close to his chest, feeling the strong heartbeat inside.

Qingyu looked at Adu with an extremely serious expression.

After bowing deeply, he spoke sincerely:

"Mr. Adu, please give this child to me!"

It's just a Pokémon that matures late in life. Raising a few Pokémon is the same as raising a few, and we're not short of food at home!

Looking into Qingyu's incredibly sincere eyes, the dragon envoy from Kanto smiled and nodded.

"I'm entrusting this child to you, Qingyu."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what heights this child will eventually reach alongside you, and I hope that day will come soon."

"Then I'll take my leave now."

After completing his mission, Lance quickly summoned Dragonite again and left Sunny Gym like the wind.

Only then did Zhu Lan, beaming with smiles, approach. She had been watching them ever since A Du arrived, maintaining a comfortable social distance so the two could talk freely.

"I didn't expect you to know that dragon messenger from Kanto, and he even gave you a very valuable dragon egg."

Reaching out to stroke the slightly warm dragon egg in her arms, Qingyu belatedly looked up, her expression complex.

"So we know each other."

Come to think of it, this seems to be my first time meeting a dodo bird...

Is it a tradition for Pokémon world champions to greet each other with pseudo-legendary Pokémon?

However, the dragon egg that Avalon gave him didn't contain a Dratini from Kanto, but rather a Beast from Hoenn.

Who would have thought of that!

"Did Mr. A-Lv tell you which Pokémon's egg this is?"

Gazing at the vibrant dragon egg in Qingyu's hand, which occasionally twitched, Zhulan suddenly asked curiously.

"It should be a baby dragon."

Qingyu answered without hesitation.

"My precious dragon..."

Cynthia pursed her lips and looked at the Garchomp dancing not far away.

"A Pokémon that matures late may take a long time to evolve, but once it finally evolves, it will certainly not disappoint its trainer."

"Ok, I know."

Qingyu nodded.

Because of the time traveler's "wisdom," he knew quite a bit about these relatively rare Pokémon.

Each region has a type of Pokémon jokingly referred to as "late bloomers," and the vast majority of them are noble dragons.

While their final evolved forms possess terrifying power, the preparations required before evolution are far beyond those of ordinary Pokémon.

For example, the precious dragon in my hand not only needs a fairly long development period, but also needs to store up enough energy before evolving.

Because after evolving into an armored dragon, it becomes unable to eat due to changes in its body structure and can only survive by accumulating energy.

Until one day, he ascended to heaven and finally evolved into the noble king of the sky—

Flying dragon!
Even among pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Salamence is almost undisputed to be among the strongest.

but……

"Let's wait until it hatches first; whether it's strong or not is a matter for later."

Gazing at the dragon egg in his arms, Qingyu smiled and slowly spoke.

"At least let it have a childhood that it can remember with happiness."

"I'd rather be a good trainer in the eyes of my own Pokémon than an excellent trainer."

In Qingyu's view, every Pokémon he catches represents a responsibility.

Ibu, who accompanied him through the most difficult times and occasionally threw a tantrum;
Riolu, who reunited with Rin and is now striving to become a protagonist in a fantasy drama, is a testament to his past.
Milton, who had temporarily lost all fighting spirit, still harbored a burning desire for revenge.
There was also a baby dragon that had not yet hatched, which he received from Adu.

Now that I've become their trainer and formed a bond with these little guys with their diverse personalities, I'll do my best to take care of them.

At the same time, a few more lines of text flashed through his eyes.

Baby Dragon (Male) (Soon to Hatch)

[Attribute: Dragon]

[Characteristics: Hard Head]

[Extremely stubborn personality]

[The egg obtained in Little Spoon Town on December 13th]

I dislike the astringent taste.

Highly resistant to damage

It seems that because he accepted the dragon egg, he has gained more information about the baby dragon.

Qingyu's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.

You're called an iron-headed kid, and you really are tough!
