Pokémon that goes with the flow

"By the way, what Pokémon will hatch from this Pokémon egg in the future?"

Hoshino blinked and looked at the Pokémon egg in his hand curiously, while not forgetting to wipe it carefully with the handkerchief in his hand.

With the goal of becoming Pokémon masters, Hoshino, Satoshi and his crew continued to move forward after leaving the Valley of the Pokémon, embarking on a long journey of training.

Today, they came to a brand new town, but since there was no Pokémon gym here, Xiaozhi, who only wanted to challenge the gym, naturally did not intend to stay longer, thinking that they could take a break. You can leave, but now...

"Zzzzz..."

A faint snoring sound slowly sounded, and Xiaozhi, who was sitting on a park bench, had unknowingly lowered his head.

It's just like the old saying goes, fatigue often accumulates gradually without being noticed. It may not be easy to notice on weekdays, but as long as you get a chance to catch your breath, you will suddenly find that your body is actually very tired. Even energetic and passionate young people cannot avoid this.

Seeing Xiaozhi's peaceful sleeping posture, the others all calmed down in unison and moved away slightly, leaving him enough space to sleep.

Looking around, by the pool not far away, you can see Xiaoxia's friendly interaction as she rubs the duck's head so hard. Scorpio and Pikachu, who had been following their trainers, were accompanying each other and wandered off to play somewhere. As for the last remaining Hoshino and Xiaogang...the former began to try to learn how to take care of Pokémon eggs under the guidance of the latter.

But then again, the Pokémon egg that Xiaozhi brought out from the Dasha Valley eventually belonged to Xiaogang... No, the word "belonging" is not quite accurate. To be exact, Xiaogang temporarily kept it for safekeeping. After all, among the few of them, only Xiaogang had the relevant knowledge to take care of Pokémon eggs, which is why Xiaozhi finally let it go. However, this is only temporary. When the Pokémon hatches, they will probably argue again about the ownership of the Pokémon. At that time, just thinking about it will be very lively. But... all this has nothing to do with Hoshino.

After all, no matter what, this Pokémon egg is not his turn, not to mention he doesn't want new Pokémon. Even if a very rare Pokémon may hatch from this Pokémon egg, it will not attract him.

There are two reasons why Hoshino now took the initiative to take care of the Pokémon eggs. One is that he is curious about the so-called Pokémon eggs. After all, according to Xiaogang's description, all Pokémon are hatched from eggs, and there seems to be no difference between oviparous and viviparous... Well, to be honest, when Hoshino heard this information, his mind paused for a moment. While sighing that the Pokémon world is really magical, he also silently felt that this setting is really convenient...

As for the other reason... the pattern on the Pokémon egg looked familiar to him, a bit like the pajamas pattern of a five-year-old Potato Head kid...

[Out of the detection range, please wait patiently for the incubation to complete before testing again...]

Listening to the voice in his mind, Hoshino was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the system would not be able to detect it. After all, in his impression, the system was unreliable most of the time, but its Pokémon Pokédex function was really useful.

Along the way, he could instantly identify any Pokémon, and sometimes he was too sensitive. Even Hoshino himself didn't notice it. The system had already started to introduce new Pokémon and provided him with a lot of timely help. It prevented him from being blinded everywhere in this strange world, which Xingye had always been very grateful for.

Although the system had failed to recognize several times before, that was because the objects to be recognized were not Pokémon at all, but giant robots covered in Pokémon shells. It was considered a mistake on its own part, so in Hoshino's mind, the system's Pokémon encyclopedia has always been very reliable.

As for the limitation that he just discovered that the system cannot recognize Pokémon eggs, Hoshino doesn't pay too much attention to it. After all, he is very satisfied with the current functions of the system. It is not a big deal if it cannot recognize Pokémon eggs. Anyway, under Xiaogang's care, this Pokémon egg will hatch sooner or later, which is a matter of knowing one day earlier or one day later.

only......

Hoshino was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the ball of light in his mind. Suddenly, he felt that the tone of the system when it spoke to him just now seemed much more perfunctory.

Although the financial fan system would not take the initiative to talk to him on weekdays, every time I approached it, it would still respond enthusiastically with a business voice, and then take advantage of the momentum to sell a lot of products that it seemed to be able to use. .....Well, the kind that is worth the money...

In short, this behavior has almost become a routine. However, what puzzles Hoshino is that although the current system still responds, its tone has become much duller, as if it is indifferent, and even the subsequent product promotion link is gone. It is really too Too abnormal.

Thinking of this, Hoshino once again looked at the dim ball of light in his mind. He couldn't help but feel worried. At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind...

......Could it be that...because I haven't bought anything, the system doesn't have enough energy? ......

After all, the current state of the system does not look good, as if it is about to go out. Combined with its previous efforts to promote products and its current dying appearance, Hoshino feels that his guess is very likely.

He had read a lot of novels before time travel, in which the system had always been a controversial existence, and seemed quite dangerous, but he didn't really care about it himself. He had always had an indifferent attitude, even if it really happened now. It was the same with a system living in his mind, unconcerned with the strange intruder in his mind.

Moreover, the system had always been very good to him since he crossed over. Now that the system was in trouble, he was naturally willing to help it, but...

The young man's heart tightened slightly, and he looked at his precarious balance, but he didn't know how much money he would need to spend...

[Host, don't worry. The survival of this system is not linked to the host's consumption amount...]

The familiar voice sounded again, and Hoshino came back to his senses. He felt that the ball of light in front of him seemed to get a little brighter, but it still did not break away from the dim atmosphere...

Hey......

With an imperceptible sigh, the system looked much tired.

[System... is just a little tired, nothing serious, host, don't worry...]
