Pokémon: I have no choice but to do this old thing?
Chapter 56: New Life
The room fell silent instantly, all eyes focused on the sprite egg that was constantly shaking and making a series of soft "clicking" sounds.
The ice crystal patterns on the eggshell surface shimmered with light, as if life were breathing within them.
Finally, after an even more violent tremor, a crack was pried open at the top of the eggshell, and a small, square, blue head, seemingly made of pure ice, clumsily emerged from the crack.
Just as Zhang Jianying had predicted, this little guy was much smaller than described in the encyclopedia. Including his iconic square ice head, he was only about 40 or 50 centimeters tall, similar to a baby dragon.
It was soaking wet, its thick, fluffy black and white fur clinging to its small body, adorned with clear blue triangular snowflake patterns.
The ice block was almost half the size of its body and looked rather heavy, making its movements appear even more clumsy.
On the front of the ice cube, two round, eye-shaped pits radiate a kind of innocent, nascent curiosity.
What's most eye-catching is that right above the square ice block, there's a wisp of black hair sticking up like an icicle, swaying gently with its movements.
"Ice...Ice Monster? (◐‿◑)"
The little guy's weak yet clear chirping sounded like ice cubes gently colliding.
It struggled to break through the eggshell and finally broke free from its confinement, making a "squeak" sound as it walked.
On the ice block head of the ice goose, the small diamond-shaped beak opens and closes, calling "Bingqi Bingqi," as if announcing its arrival.
Zhang Jianying immediately activated the data vision:
【Ice-Sculpted Goose (Newcomer)】
Gender: Male
[Attribute: Ice]
【Features: Freezing head】
[Skills: Impact, Fine Snow]
[Inherited Skills: Belly Drum, Immersion, Icicle Drop]
[Status: Hungry, weak at birth, vital signs stable, pure and exceptionally abundant ice energy, good health.]
[Note: Newborn Pokémon urgently need nutritional supplements to stabilize their life state. Their current size is typical for juveniles and will gradually approach their standard size as they accumulate energy and grow.]
"Is it hunger? There's nothing wrong with your body, but you desperately need to eat!"
Zhang Jianying immediately deciphered the most crucial information.
"Take good care of it! I'm going to find Miss Joey to buy some Moo Moo Milk!"
He quickly gave his instructions to his companions, then rushed out of the room, his hurried footsteps echoing down the stairs.
Inside the room, the remaining Pokémon looked at each other, then their eyes all fell on the little creature that was wet, making a "squeak" sound when it walked, and was still calling "IceCreek IceCreek" incessantly.
Gardevoir was the first to react. It gracefully floated forward, its eyes flashing with psychic power. Its gentle, invisible psychic energy, like a delicate silk scarf, gently wrapped around Goose, carefully wiping away the remaining slime on its body and making its down fluffy and dry.
At the same time, it conveyed a sense of comfort and welcome through telepathy: Welcome, little one, from now on we are family.
"Bingqi?"
Feeling the warm waves surrounding it, the ice goose blinked its "eyes" on its ice head, seemingly sensing the kindness, and stopped panicking.
"Woohoo!"
Baby Dragon, clutching the Everstone, approached the Ice Goose, tilting its large head to look at the tiny creature, which was about the same size as itself, its scarlet pupils filled with curiosity.
Baby Dragon looked at the little guy's opening and closing mouth and thought it was so hungry that it wanted to eat anything. After hesitating for a moment, as if it had made a great decision, it pushed its most treasured Everstone toward the ice goose's diamond-shaped ice block mouth, indicating that it should eat it.
The ice goose tilted its square head, and out of its instinct to eat, it opened its small diamond-shaped mouth and "chomp" into the hard Everstone.
"Crack!"
With a soft, crisp sound, the ice-cure goose froze completely.
The next second, it opened its mouth, and a small notch appeared on the edge of the ice cube's mouth!
The little guy froze, and then the "eyes" on the ice cube's head instantly filled with a layer of water vapor. It covered its injured little mouth with its two little wings and made a pitiful, choked sound, its eyes brimming with tears.
Baby Dragon was also startled. He quickly snatched the Everlasting Stone back and nervously examined it from all angles. Finding that the stone was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief and hugged it tightly to his chest like a precious treasure.
Looking at the aggrieved Ice Goose, it felt a little embarrassed, then patted its little chest and whimpered, as if to say, "Don't cry! Call me 'big sister'! From now on, follow me, and I'll protect you! Stay away from that scheming green tea who always bullies people with her telekinesis!"
Before the words were even finished, an invisible force of telekinesis enveloped it, tossing it lightly into a corner of the room. Gardevoir glanced at it, a hint of helplessness in its eyes.
On the other side, the forest tortoise let out a gentle growl. It wasn't sure if the newborn little creature could digest the tree fruit, so it didn't condense a fruit containing the breath of life.
It subtly mobilized the grass-type energy, and a soft, vibrant grassy field spread out from it, with a verdant halo enveloping the Ice Goose, bringing a sense of comfort and tranquility.
Huhu, perched on the back of the tortoise in the forest, blinked its bean-like eyes, poured out a small cup of the most easily absorbed tree sap it had brewed, and pushed it in front of the Ice Goose.
"Pfft! Drink this."
The ice-crusted goose was drawn by the aroma of the fruit juice and temporarily forgot the pain in its mouth.
Curious, it touched the glass with the ice cube. The cold temperature caused a thin layer of frost to condense on the surface of the juice, achieving a chilling effect.
The little guy seemed very satisfied, happily picked up the cup, took two sips, and a satisfied expression appeared on the ice.
The diamond-shaped mouth, which had been chipped open, was visibly restored to its original state at a rapid pace thanks to the slow flow of its own ice-type energy.
"Hehehe~!"
Haunter, floating under the ceiling, watched as Baby Dragon was thrown out, and chuckled smugly.
Feeling that simply watching wasn't enough, it couldn't contain its suicidal impulses and suddenly leaped out of the shadows. Its enormous purple ghostly face, with an exaggerated expression, approached the Ice Goose, its long tongue lashing out: "Heh—!!"
The Ice Goose was startled and instinctively spat out a mouthful of "Fine Snow," covering Gastly's face with ice shards.
Gastly shivered from the cold, but continued to laugh strangely, completely unconcerned, finding this little guy quite amusing.
Then, it followed in Bellatrix's footsteps, being picked up by Gardevoir's psychic powers and thrown into a corner, where it stared at Bellatrix.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Zhang Jianying rushed back with Miss Joey and Happy Egg.
Miss Joey held a professional portable testing device and a warm cup of Moo Moo milk in her hand.
"How is the situation?"
Zhang Jianying looked nervously into the room.
"They seem to be getting along very well..."
Miss Joy looked at the seemingly innocent Pokémon Dragon and Gastly in the corner, and the Ice Goose surrounded by Gardevoir, Grovyle, and Shuckle, drinking juice from a cup, and couldn't help but laugh.
She quickly stepped forward, gently took the cup from Goose's hand and handed it to Gardevoir, then took out the testing device and gently began to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on Goose, with Cheeseball assisting from the side.
"His vital signs are very stable, his ice-type energy activity is very high, and he is in excellent health."
Miss Joey expertly checked the ice-crusted goose's condition, a relieved smile spreading across her face: "A perfectly healthy little fellow, just starving. Here, drink slowly."
She took the baby bottle from Lucky Egg and brought the nipple to the mouth of the ice cube shaped like a goose's rhombus.
"Iceman!"
Upon smelling the milk, the ice goose instinctively took the nipple into its mouth and began to suckle vigorously, its tuft of hair on its head bobbing happily.
As it drank, it made muffled noises, its small body rising and falling slightly with the sucking motion.
Seeing the little guy eagerly eating, Miss Joey and Zhang Jianying both breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
Zhang Jianying was finally relieved.
He humbly asked Nurse Joy for advice: "Nurse Joy, this is my first time taking care of such a tiny newborn Pokémon. What should I be careful about?"
While nursing, Nurse Joy gave detailed instructions: "The most important thing for newborn Pokémon is to keep them warm and well-nourished."
"Although it is an ice species, the larvae gradually develop tolerance to low temperatures, so the ambient temperature should not be too low."
"MooMoo milk needs to be dispensed at regular times and in measured quantities, and the temperature must be controlled at..."
She explained the precautions in great detail, and Zhang Jianying listened very carefully, afraid of missing a single word.
For him, hatching eggs in the game was just a matter of pixels flashing on the screen and notification sounds, which was far less impactful and brought a sense of responsibility than witnessing a little life hatch in real life.
This unique experience filled him with an indescribable sense of wonder and excitement.
After seeing off the patiently guiding Miss Joy, the room at the Pokémon Center remained brightly lit that night.
None of Zhang Jianying and his partners felt sleepy; on the contrary, they were even more energetic because of the new member's vitality.
Having eaten and drunk its fill and been professionally examined and confirmed to be healthy, the Ice Goose seemed to be fully recharged and was no longer satisfied with simply staying in the comfortable little nest that Gardevoir had created with its spiritual power.
The ice goose wriggled its small black and white body and clumsily crawled out. Its square ice head peeked out first, and then its whole little body "plop"ed onto the soft carpet.
"Biaji, biaji!"
It took its first steps and began its exploration of this world, which was incredibly new and exciting to it.
The single ahoge swayed with its movements, and the two dark blue dots on the ice cube's head curiously observed everything around it.
"Waaah..."
The forest tortoise growled worriedly, its massive body moving somewhat clumsily as it cautiously followed the tiny creature that was running around with a "squeak," afraid that it might accidentally bump into something.
The bushes on its back swayed gently, and the glow of the grassy field always enveloped the ice goose, bringing it continuous comfort.
Goose seems to be naturally unafraid of strangers, perhaps because it sensed the warm atmosphere of this "home" even while still in its egg. It has an instinctive affinity and trust for the Pokémon around it.
It wobbled over to Gastly, tilting its square head to look at the large, floating purple creature.
"Bingqi?"
Gastly made an exaggerated face again, its tongue flying everywhere.
This time, however, the Ice Goose wasn't frightened. Instead, it was amused by the goose's comical appearance, letting out a clear laugh and even trying to jump up to grab Ghoststone's wagging tongue.
Then, it lost its balance and fell backward onto the ground, bumping right into the baby dragon that had come over to observe it.
The little guy wasn't annoyed. He sat on the ground, flapping his still weak little wings, and yelled at the baby dragon as if inviting it to play.
Baby Dragon looked at the tiny, seemingly clumsy little thing that was even smaller than itself, and a hint of tenderness flashed in its scarlet eyes.
It hid its treasured Everstone behind its back, then stretched out its little paws and, imitating Zhang Jianying, clumsily patted the ice goose's icy head. It then began its "brainwashing" mission again with "woo-woo-woo," meaning nothing more than "Sister is amazing, follow her, you'll have a bright future, stay away from that guy with superpowers, she's bad."
Gardevoir, who was gently lifting the Ice Goose with its psychic powers, visibly twitched at the corner of its forehead.
It glanced at Babydragon, and considering that Babydragon was holding Ice Goose and it was inconvenient to throw it, Gardevoir took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to throw it out again.
"Hehehe~!"
Gastly accurately captured Gardevoir's helplessness and Bagon's reckless behavior, and, not wanting to miss out on the fun, howled and mocked Bagon's courage in flirting with death.
However, it forgot that Gardevoir had nowhere to vent its anger.
The next second, an invisible psychic force instantly enveloped the gloating Gastly, its powerful psychic ability forcibly compressing and kneading its gaseous body...
"Jehovah?!!"
Amidst Gastly's terrified screams, it was rolled into a round, purple ball of energy, then with a "whoosh," it traced a graceful parabola and was precisely tossed into a corner of the room. After making intimate contact with the wall, it slowly bounced back to its original shape.
Baby Dragon, on the other hand, escaped unharmed because it was hugging the Ice Goose. However, it clearly felt a chill down its back and quickly shrank its neck, pretending to be engrossed in playing the "claw-slapping" game with the Ice Goose.
The energy of the trees on the turtle's back gathered, and several tree fruits containing the breath of life slowly solidified and rolled down in front of the ice goose.
It remembered that Miss Joey had just said it was okay to try other easily digestible foods.
The ice goose looked curiously at the tree fruits that emitted an enticing aroma. Instead of eating them immediately, it touched each one with its square ice head.
The fruit is covered with a layer of glistening white frost, as if coated with sugar.
The little guy seemed quite pleased with his "masterpiece," and happily used his tiny wings to lift a chilled tree fruit, wobbling over to the forest tortoise, tilting his head back to indicate that it should eat.
Then, it distributed a tree fruit that it had personally chilled to everyone present.
The tiny figure was busy running around, making "babbling" sounds, sharing its feelings.
Zhang Jianying leaned against the edge of the bed, watching this scene, and grinned.
This little guy, barely born, is already integrating into the family in his own way, repaying every act of kindness.
No one slept that night.
The energetic little penguin filled the room and the hearts of every family member with its babbling footsteps and innocent acts of sharing.
