Chapter 160: Can a character who can't fly fly after evolving through one stage?
As the first eggshell fell, the Pokémon egg, which had been perfectly shaped, quickly lost its balance and fell onto the carpet.

Qingyu felt her breath catch for a moment, and immediately jogged over.

bang——

This time it was a dull knocking sound.

Along with the sound, a baby dragon appeared, smashing its eggshell from the inside and revealing half of its head.

As the baby dragon struggled to hatch, the Pokémon egg, about to crack open, began to sway back and forth on the blanket.

"Mwah~"

Dream instinctively reached out, seemingly wanting to pull the newborn baby dragon out, but Qingyu picked it up.

"Let it happen on its own at this point."

Seeing the baby dragon struggling so hard, Qingyu was also anxious, but he still managed to suppress the urge to intervene.

Fortunately, this precious dragon does seem to have inexhaustible strength, just as Adu said.

After repeated headbutts, the eggshell, already riddled with cracks, finally broke open, allowing the baby dragon inside to easily crawl out.

"Buyi..."

Ibrahimovic, who had been observing silently, breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected of our newest member at Sunshine Dojo, he's been very resilient since he was little!"

Qingyu chuckled and gently cradled the tiny creature, which had just hatched and couldn't even open its eyes yet, in her hands.

Newborn babies are indeed a little bit ugly-cute.

However, it has finally evolved from a Pokémon egg into a "hatched cutie".

"It looks like a very energetic baby dragon."

Zhu Lan smiled knowingly, looking at the baby dragon in Qing Yu's hand, seemingly recalling the time when she hatched the Gible.

"Kaka..."

Seemingly sensing its trainer's thoughts, the mature and reliable Garchomp immediately turned its head away.

For most Pokémon that "develop late in life," their early childhood is definitely a dark period.

Garchomp feels extremely embarrassed every time it recalls it.

How could I have been so useless when I was a kid!
"嘤——"

Pokémon's vitality is truly outrageous.

Just as Qingyu was holding it in her hands, the little guy, who had just used all his strength to hatch, had regained a lot of his strength.

After letting out a sharp cry, the baby dragon struggled to open its eyes.

Upon first glimpse of the world outside the eggshell, the "huge" Mew and Eevee around it immediately made it feel somewhat uneasy.

However, when it looked up and saw Qingyu gazing at it tenderly, it quickly calmed down for some reason.

"It seems that Mr. Awatari was right after all."

Seeing this, Zhu Lan smiled with relief.

"This little guy must have gotten used to your scent when he was still in his Pokémon egg, right?"

Most Pokémon have a special habit: they become very dependent on the first creature they see after birth, and even regard it as their mother.

Judging from the behavior of this baby dragon, it seems that it already knew about Qingyu's existence outside?

Perhaps only the mysterious yet real existence called "bonds" can explain this.

Pokémon are truly amazing creatures.

"It seems I really do have a special connection with it."

Qingyu smiled slightly and then presented it to herself.

"Then, please take care of me from now on, my little dragon~"

"Hey!"

Baby Dragon immediately laughed and nodded subconsciously. Then—

Before Qingyu could react, he mustered all his strength and headbutted him on the tip of his nose.

"it hurts!"

Qingyu exclaimed in surprise.

Fortunately, the newly hatched chicks are not very strong, and this incident did not cause any harm.

but……

Why did the adorable baby dragon suddenly attack me?
"I think this might be a way for the baby dragon to be affectionate?"

Seeing Qingyu covering her nose with one hand, Zhulan couldn't help but smile helplessly, as if she deeply understood this behavior.

"Back when Garchomp was still called Gible, it loved to bite things it liked, and even I and many other Pokémon in the lab got bitten."

"Kaka!"

After Cynthia revealed her embarrassing past, Garchomp immediately reached out and covered Cynthia's mouth from behind with its claws, preventing her from continuing.

You can't!
Is this something I can tell outsiders?
Qingyu gazed at the adorable little dragon in her hand with a complicated expression.

If this child expresses affection by headbutting people, will it be able to withstand that when it grows up?

Being a trainer is indeed a high-risk profession, especially for dragon riders!
However, he seemed to remember that there was indeed such a condition among the evolution conditions of Baby Dragons—

All baby dragons are dreamers who yearn to fly, believing from a young age that one day they will be able to soar freely in the sky.

Therefore, they would jump off cliffs to practice flying, repeatedly engaging in this behavior, to the point that their skulls became incredibly hard from the falls.

Once the skull becomes hard enough, when it evolves into an armored dragon, the skull will transform into a thick cocoon-like structure, protecting its body while also providing ample space for the development of its wings.

Only after the armored dragon completed its metamorphosis did this hard shell fulfill its purpose, naturally shedding like an eggshell, leaving only a small part of its abdomen for protection.

Thus, the incredibly powerful King of the Sky, Salamence, was born.

In other words, for a baby dragon to evolve, its head must be made of iron.

You really are a stubborn fool!
While worrying about her future, Qingyu couldn't help but feel a sense of longing at the same time—

Raising a stubborn baby dragon into a majestic and incredibly handsome Salamence sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

and many more?

If a creature that can't fly evolves like a baby dragon, will it be able to fly?
"Miao?"

oO?

Dreamy quickly flew curiously to the baby dragon and quietly observed its body structure.

It's obvious at a glance that this is its preparatory action before transforming.

It seems that Dream is planning to transform into a baby dragon and play with this little guy?

Thinking of this, Qingyu silently shook her head.

Regardless of how long it has lived, it always feels like it's a child at heart...

The baby dragon, sensing the dreamlike gaze, quickly turned around.

Then--

With a loud "bang," Baby Dragon's headbutt landed squarely on Mew's face, sending it spinning backward in mid-air while letting out a cry of pain.

"Mwah!"

Dreamy got angry immediately, and after letting out a warning meow, it hid behind Qingyu.

Qingyu, who had witnessed the whole thing, quickly smiled.

It’s true that one thing brings down another thing.

The only thing in this house that can make Dreamy lose its way is probably this newborn baby dragon in her palm...
