Chapter 297 Breaking the Shell
Chapter 297 Breaking the Shell
"This egg is the child's first egg. I hid it for fear that it would be crushed. I didn't expect it to be stolen." Grandma Qiu's withered fingers traced the gap in the dorsal fin of the Liebite Land Shark. "It's great to be able to find it back."
"The way!" The Land Shark next to him nodded vigorously. If he couldn't find it back, he would almost lose his wife.
The ugly fish eggs in the center of the hot spring suddenly made a slight "click" sound, and a soft light blue light overflowed from the cracks.
Jiuji subconsciously held his breath, his fingertips gently resting on the edge of the pool. The cracks in the eggshell spread like a spider web, and a curled-up little figure gradually became clear in the halo.
"It's out!" A smile appeared in Grandma Qiu's cloudy eyes. She took out a handful of dried scale powder from her bosom and sprinkled it into the water. "The hot spring in the Dragon Cave can stimulate the potential of water Pokémon. This little guy is just in time."
As the powder dissolved, pearly ripples appeared on the water surface. The moment the eggshell completely cracked, a bright yellow clown fish jumped out of the water, its tail fin drew a half-moon arc in the air, and then fell lightly back into the water.
Although its scales are not gorgeous, they have a metallic luster, which is completely different from the dull luster of ordinary clown fish.
"Meow?" Chouchou fish tilted its head and looked at Jiuji, its round eyes like obsidian soaked in water.
Jiuji was stunned—she had never seen such an active chouchu fish.
Most clownish fish would shrink back due to inferiority complex due to their appearance, but the little guy in front of her swung its tail and swung around her fingers, even playfully blowing out a string of bubbles.
"This child must have some extraordinary parents." Grandma Qiu squatted down and touched the head of the chou chou fish with her wrinkled hands. "The shiny scales and long tail fin are not something I could have achieved with just the little bit of powder I have."
"Yes, this was given to me by the coordination master Mr. Adam. Its parents are indeed extraordinary." Not only its strength, but also its physical body should have been well nurtured by Mr. Adam.
As if to confirm what the two said, the Ugly Fish suddenly arched its body, and a tiny breath of dragon hit the rock wall, actually carving a shallow pit on the stone surface.
The Land Shark couple looked at each other, and tacitly moved their dragon eggs to the other side of the hot spring.
"If you want, you can let it stay here for a few more days." Grandma Qiu straightened up, "The hot springs here can help it stabilize its energy, and besides--"
She glanced meaningfully at the stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling and said, "There are always suspicious people wandering around here recently. It would be dangerous for you to carry it with you."
Jiuji paused. A half-charred gear was stuck at the base of the stalactite, which was clearly a part of the Galaxy Team's drone.
"Have they been here?"
"Three days ago, a group of people in white coats tried to collect mineral samples." Grandma Qiu sneered, "They were driven away by my Xiaoyuan, but... they seemed very interested in the 'ancient altar'."
Jiuji's eyes suddenly turned cold.
No wonder the other party wanted the token given by Sister Baicai. It turned out that he had been beaten out.
She looked down at the Chouchou fish that was swimming happily. She wanted to go to Sister Baicai's place to check on it again, so it would be fine to leave the Chouchou fish alone for a few days.
"Then I'll leave it to you." She gently pushed the ugly fish to Grandma Qiu's side, "I'll come and pick it up when it's stable."
"Meow!" The ugly fish twisted its body in dissatisfaction and bit Jiuji's finger.
"Be obedient." Jiuji flicked its forehead with his finger, "I'll be back when you learn to control your dragon breath."
The ugly fish blinked twice, swam back and dived to the bottom of the hot spring.
"Oh my, it looks like it trusts you very much." Grandma Qiu said with a smile, "It's rare for a newborn baby to be so obedient."
"Granny Qiu, my spaceship and other Pokémon will also stay outside. In case the Galaxy Team comes again, they can help. At worst, they can send messages to me and Miss Takeran." Jiuji thought for a while and said, since the Galaxy Team had already come and failed to snatch the Dragon Fang in his hand, based on his understanding of them, they will definitely come again.
After all, Grandma Qiu is so old, and these Land Sharks don't look very smart, so it's better to keep them as a safety so that she can leave the Chouchou fish here with peace of mind.
As for the previously detained members of the Galaxy Team and the Crossbat, she has already notified Miss Junsha to come and escort them, so there is no big problem.
"Well, is it convenient for you to travel?" Grandma Qiu didn't say that it was not necessary. Her family knows her own business. She is indeed old, and the huge Dragon Cave depends entirely on Xiaoyuan to patrol, so it is easy to miss something.
"It's convenient. I have Daidai. I can teleport to any place I've been to. Just don't be scared by us, Grandma Qiu." Although he said that, Jiuji didn't do anything so outrageous as to teleport directly into the Dragon Cave. Otherwise, he would be directly hit by the Liebite Land Shark and he would have no place to cry.
"That's good. I'll be waiting for you here. Be careful on your way." Grandma Qiu nodded with satisfaction, took out a new dragon tooth and put it into Jiuji's palm. "This is a token of the Dragon Cave. If you take it, the little guys here won't attack you. Keep it safe. Be careful on everything."

Two hours later, on the outskirts of Shenhe Town.
Zhulan stood in front of the ruins, and the sharp claws of the Land Shark were dismantling the last helicopter with the letter "G" engraved on it. She turned and looked at the black spot approaching in the sky, and a smile rose at the corner of her lips: "It seems that our comrade is back."
It is really comfortable to fight with this Miss Jiuji. The tactical coordination is so precise and synchronized without any communication. I feel like I won’t feel tired even if we fight for three days and three nights.
"Alu." While working, Lie Bite Lu Shark did not forget to echo.
After Jiuji landed on the Pidgeot, Zhulan realized that she had still underestimated the other party.
"Is everything going well, Miss Zhulan?" Jiuji greeted her while returning the dragon tooth pendant that Sister Baicai had given her. Now she has her own dragon tooth!
"Of course, your coming will only make things smoother." The glittering new dragon fang on Jiuji's neck was reflected in Zhulan's pupils. In other words, after just a brief meeting, Grandma Qiu had already completely trusted this trainer.
But they forgot that she also had a share of the credit.
"Hmm?" Jiuji's eyes sparkled. He didn't expect Sister Baicai to think so highly of him. He was happy. "I left the Uglius and the spaceship over there. After I finish dealing with Team Galactic's affairs here, I will take them back to Hoenn."
"Then you'll be very busy. I heard that you're also competing in the Hoenn region's league competition and the Grand Competition at the same time?" Zhulan raised an eyebrow. "Are you able to handle it?"
The tail fin of the Land Shark suddenly swept between the two of them, and a cluster of poisonous spikes jingled and nailed onto its raised arm sickle.
Daidai, who was a step late, simply spread his telekinesis and slammed the sneak attacking Tank Skunk hard against the rock wall.
