Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

It... seemed very unwilling... seemed to have something very important in the distance.

Even if it costs us our lives, we must get closer, or rather, go back.

“Waaah…” Unicorn Beetle sensed sadness in Yundira.

A deep sadness.

Why is it so sad?

What exactly did it go through?

What are you so fixated on?

The hatred I felt for it at first seemed to fade away uncontrollably.

Xia Yan's feelings were complicated.

He thought of the hypnotic tapir that loved reading and meticulously organized everything.

Death is a liberation.

He is now certain that both elves came from the same place.

And now.

This Kadjara, it should...

He's dying soon too.

Suddenly, Xia Yan strode forward and helped Yongjila up. He pulled too hard, aggravating the wound on his arm. The pain caused him to sweat profusely from his forehead and back, soaking his already cold clothes even more.

The sweat irritated the wound, and fresh blood gushed out again.

But he didn't give up.

"Yong?" The weakened Yunjira felt the power coming from it, turned its head and saw that it was Xia Yanshi, and tried to break free.

Humans!!

Those who study them are humankind!

"Don't move! You want to go back, right? There's something important to you there, isn't there? Don't move, I'll take you back." Xia Yan gripped Yongjila's arm tightly, not letting it break free.

Because he knew that once he broke free, Yunjira might never be able to stand up again.

“Song...”

After a fierce internal struggle, Yunjira's hostility towards humans ultimately couldn't overcome its desire to return, and it nodded in agreement to accept Xia Yan's help.

The unicorn beetle jumped to the ground, turned around and spit out a thread, which wrapped around Yongdira's waist and carried it forward.

at last.

A hidden cave came into their view.

As he saw the fanning motion, Yongjira's anxiety became increasingly apparent.

But it had lost too much blood and could no longer lift its limbs.

Sensing its anxiety, Xia Yan and the unicorn gritted their teeth and unconsciously quickened their pace.

When they parted the weeds that were obscuring the cave and saw what was inside, they were completely stunned.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Good People

Elf Egg!

In the soft, dry haystack, a fairy egg, emitting a faint glow in the dim cave, lay quietly.

Seemingly sensing Kadabra's approach, the Pokémon egg trembled slightly.

“Sing…”

The sound was extremely weak, and it could only be barely heard in this secluded cave.

Xia Yan and Weedle stopped where they were, but Kadabra, seeing the Pokémon egg, didn't want to wait any longer and called out, urging them to take it over.

Hearing the sound, Xia Yan snapped out of his daze, glanced at the Kadabra with a complicated expression, and helped it to the front of the Pokémon egg.

It turns out that this Yundira is a mother.

And a mother, on her deathbed, thinks of her child; it seems to have become her instinct.

But for some reason, Xia Yan felt a bitter taste in his throat and a sharp pain in his heart.

This is the same Kadabra as the hypnotic tapir from last time; both are products of experiments, exhibiting highly unstable mental states and a strong aversion to humans.

Xia Yan and the unicorn suddenly felt relieved about its attack.

Imagine an elf being captured by humans and subjected to endless, inhuman experiments. How could it not loathe and hate humans?

However, he never expected that this Kadjara would have puppies...

The only thing that can bring it back to its senses in its near-mad rage is its child, and its maternal instincts.

Kadabra was placed next to the Pokémon egg.

It gently placed its hands on the fairy egg, its eyes filled with the light of a mother and a deep reluctance to part.

Unable to witness the birth of its child, its only hope now is that its child can grow up healthy and happy, free from the torment of various experiments, and grow up smoothly to see the world in its place.

"Yong...Yong..." Kadabra's weak voice rang out again, lingering around the Pokémon egg, seemingly expressing its reluctance and longing.

Child, don't be a picky eater, eat more so you can grow up healthy. Go to bed early every day, don't stay up late. Make friends, the number doesn't matter, as long as you make true friends. Study hard, learn more about the world, don't be too proud, learn to read, don't strive to be outstanding, be a spirit with principles...

And...and...and...and...Mom hopes to be there for you as you grow up. Mom...loves you.

The unicorn was able to understand Yongjira's last murmur, and its eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Is this what motherly love is?

It never experienced maternal love.

Although Xia Yan couldn't understand the words, he could grasp the general meaning of Yongjila's statement, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

Then we see Kadabra force a smile, and its hand resting on the Pokémon egg continuously transmits psychic power into the egg.

"Is it... using its superpowers to better nurture the Pokémon egg?"

There is no doubt that there is a lineage among elves.

Many Pokémon inherit their moves from their parents, and the condition, physical qualities, and talents of a newborn Pokémon are also closely related to its parents.

It's likely that Kadabra has been doing this for more than just the first time; it may have been doing it ever since this Pokémon egg was born.

Moreover, Kadabra probably knew it didn't have much time left, so it regularly nursed its Pokémon eggs. Today, it only regained its senses when it was time to return to take care of its Pokémon eggs during the battle with Infernape.

It's hard to imagine that the Yundira, who had almost completely lost her mind, would regain her senses when her baby's time was up. What kind of great maternal love must it take to do that?

just now.

Yunjira is no longer viable.

It transferred its last superpower to the Pokémon egg, hastening its demise, like a candle flickering in the wind.

“Sing…”

Yongjira opened her mouth slightly and made a sound, her gaze falling on Xia Yan, who stood beside her with a complicated expression.

Before he could react, the unicorn beetle approached, biting Xia Yan's tail and dragging him towards Yongjira.

"Hmm?" Xia Yan, dragged by the unicorn beetle, arrived in front of Yongjira.

After a slight hesitation, I squatted down and looked at its extremely weak and exhausted appearance.

Ultimately, this Kadabra was also a product of Team Rocket's failed experiment, but logically, it shouldn't have died so quickly after the failure, even if having a baby worsened its condition.

“Yong…” Yongjira called out softly again.

This time, Xia Yan understood, or rather, he understood from Yongjira's eyes.

Raise your hand.

Under Kadabra's gaze, he gently placed his hand on the Pokémon egg, hesitated for a moment, and then solemnly said, "Okay."

Hearing his words, Kadabra's eyes filled with gratitude. It glanced one last time at the Pokémon Egg, its gaze containing so much...

Gradually, his eyes lost their last glimmer of light, and his hand slid off the fairy egg.

Seemingly sensing the disappearance of Kadabra's aura, the Pokémon egg trembled again.

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the elf egg and held it in his arms.

Only after feeling the warmth again did the fairy egg finally stop trembling and fall silent.

She tightened her grip on the fairy egg, sighed softly, and felt a mix of indescribable emotions.

"Woo." The weevil crawled onto Xia Yan's body, approached the Pokémon egg, and carefully rubbed its cheek against the egg.

A person, an elf, and now an elf egg, sat on the ground, quietly sitting in the cave for a long time.

After what seemed like an eternity, Xia Yan finally came to his senses, took a deep breath, and asked, "What did Yongjira say at the end?"

"Waaah..."

I say you're a good person.

Xia Yan: "..."

Hypnotic tapirs are like this, and now Kadabra is doing the same thing, randomly giving out friend cards?

Don't you know you can't just randomly give out "friend zone" cards?

He has a very deep and accurate understanding of himself. He is not a good person, not necessarily a bad person, but definitely not a good person.

"Whoosh...zzzzzz." The unicorn beetle made another sound.

Watch out, it's sizzling.

"Hmm? Why is it that line again?" Xia Yan frowned.

You two planned this together, right?

Or do they only know how to say "good person" and "tsk tsk tsk"?

These two sentences undoubtedly connect this Kadabra to the original Hypnotic Tapir.
