So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 12 Shiny Ralts

On a sunny afternoon, as cooing pigeons fluttered about, the warm sunlight bathed the forest surrounding the research center. A few new leaf cats trod across the lawn outside the center. Eevee rested its head on its fluffy tail, curled up into a ball, and quietly dreamt of being a trainer.

Wei Xin sat on the sofa in the lounge on the first floor of the research center, his gaze lowered to the bottle of MooMoo milk he was holding, heated to the optimal drinking temperature recorded in the "Pokémon Baby Care Manual." Like a family member in a hospital, he quietly waited for Ralts to return.

Because of its late birth, or rather, late hatching, the professors suspected that Ralts might have some defects, and just in case, they needed to give Ralts a comprehensive physical examination.

He raised his hand blankly and touched his right chest. The heart that had quietly melted away with Ralts' birth had not yet recovered.

Is this what it feels like to become a father for the first time? Wei Xin couldn't describe the feeling; he felt like he was probably a Gallade in his past life.

God, because of Laluras, I forgive you for creating mosquitoes.

"What a loser," Wei Xin cursed himself under his breath. To distract himself, he took out his phone and discovered that the class group he had blocked was already buzzing with activity.

Class monitor: "Family members, the exam results are out. You can check them on the school website."

Li Wei: "The campus network is too slow, I can't get in."

They also posted a panda head emoji holding a loading icon (I get annoyed whenever I see that).

Wan Hesheng: "I passed, hee hee, I passed."

Yue Hai: "Me too."

Then came a long list of plus one. Assuming there were no slackers, then more than ten people in their class passed the exam.

Then there were the homeroom teacher's blessings and words of comfort.

Even though they didn't make it to the exam, some students managed to stay calm and posted in the group chat, "If I become rich and powerful, let's not forget each other."

As for those who remained silent, they were probably experiencing joy and sorrow among people; they just seemed noisy.

Li Wei: "Speaking of which, did anyone in our class make it into the top ten in the whole school?"

He asked first; I didn't mean to show off.

Even through the screen, Wei Xin's lips curled up slightly involuntarily.

Since you've so sincerely asked for my advice, I'll mercifully grant your request...

Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned on the keyboard, the homeroom teacher peeked out from under the screen.

Class teacher: "Congratulations to Wei Xin from our class for achieving a score of 193, ranking first in the entire school."

Ah, no, Wei Xin's expression froze. You've already shown off what I was going to do. What am I supposed to do next?

Your homeroom teacher is so inconsiderate.

As soon as the class teacher posted the message, the group chat fell silent instantly. Even though he was at the research center, Ge Weixin could imagine the surprise in the eyes of the students behind the screen.

You should know that last semester, Wei Xin's grades were always at the bottom of the class. He couldn't even pass the exam, let alone get a ranking. He would be considered a useless third-level student in the sect. Now, he has actually won the sect competition championship.

The group chat exploded immediately.

"Holy crap, number one in the whole school, did they open a shop?"

It's not considered open if it's not turned off.

My own system debates the scriptures for me.

"193 points. I heard from my computer science friend next door that the second-highest score in the whole school is in their major, and he only got 161 points."

"Guangkuo Ge is awesome!"

Oh no, you... never mind. At this moment, Wei Xin, who was the top student in the whole school, suddenly felt that the nickname "Brother Guangkuo" was not as jarring as it had been at first.

"Guangkuo Ge is awesome!"

"Add one!"

"Dude, you really did secretly study last night? You're such a scoundrel, Wei Xin! You're such a traitor! This is betrayal, the wounds of betrayal never heal!!!"

Everyone can spout ivory, except for Li Wei.

But Li Wei, you can insult me ​​all you want, but why did you have to bring up Growlithe?

Senior Go is furious!

At this moment, Wei Xin also received a private message from Li Wei. When he opened it, there was only a megaphone-shaped icon and a number.

60"

Clearly, 60 seconds is the limit for voice recordings, not for Li Wei.

Even without clicking on it, Wei Xin could laugh so hard he wanted to reach across the screen. In the dormitory, Li Wei stared at the computer, his eyes bulging with rage, biting his phone screen, tears streaming down his face, looking like he was dying with his eyes wide open.

Class teacher: "Next, let's invite Wei Xin to speak @WeiXin."

Wei Xin: "I don't accept apprentices, thank you."

I said I'm going to take back what I failed to show off with my own hands. Are you Erduolong?

After sending the message, Wei Xin immediately closed the private messaging function, completely ignoring the barrage of messages in the group chat. To prevent Li Wei from coming over via the internet, he ultimately chose to shut down his computer completely.

Wei Xin put down his phone, forced a stiff smile, and looked up to see the door to the lounge open.

A small figure peeked out from behind half the door, revealing half a blue head. After meeting Wei Xin's gaze, a pure smile appeared on his face.

"Ralu~"

Ralts opened her arms and ran towards Wei Xin with tiny, quick steps. Senior Huang Yaxuan followed carefully behind her to prevent the little one from falling halfway.

My darling, Wei Xin's hard-won heart has melted again.

You're the kind of person who can be heartless when faced with such an adorable little creature.

Anyway, I can't do it.

Tell my mother I'm a coward.

He opened his arms, and Ralts bumped into Wei Xin's chest, rubbing its orange horn against Wei Xin's chest. Wei Xin put his hand into Ralts's hair and gently stroked the back of Ralts's head.

It's smooth and slippery, like warm porcelain, and feels quite nice to the touch.

The horn on Ralts' head emitted a faint glow, enveloped in a multitude of emotions including relief, joy, care, satisfaction, and happiness.

"Ralts~" Ralts smiled, her eyes narrowed.

"Little guy, are you hungry? I have some milk here." Wei Xin picked up the Moo Moo Milk from the table, squeezed a little onto his skin, and after confirming that the temperature was right, handed it to Ralts.

Ralts brought the bottle to her nose and took a gentle sniff. The sweet aroma instantly whetted her appetite. Ralts hugged the bottle, opened her little mouth, and began to suckle gently.

"Drink slowly, it's all yours." Wei Xin changed his posture, bent his entire arm, and let Ralts rest its head on his shoulder. His standard and skillful movements even surprised his senior.

Is this the legendary "male mom"?

No male mothers!

In a daze, Wei Xin felt as if he could hear his senior's inner thoughts.

"It seems Ralts really likes you," the senior student said, placing a file and a Poké Ball on the table in front of Wei Xin. "The professor said that since Ralts has chosen you, you will be her trainer. Here is a Poké Ball. Remember to let her in as soon as possible. She's so cute, there will definitely be a lot of people who have ulterior motives."

I understand, troublemaker, stop causing trouble!

"And Ralts's medical report."

"She's in good health, with no hidden illnesses. You'll have to take good care of her."

"That's for sure," Wei Xin said confidently.

I'll stake on Xiaogang's name and make sure the little guy is healthy and strong.

"The professor left some gifts for you and Ralts at the front desk of the research center. Remember to take them with you when you go back."

After saying that, the senior student handed Wei Xin the professor's contact information, gently patted Ralts' head, and turned to leave the lounge.

After the senior left, Wei Xin lowered his head, stretched out a finger, and gently poked the little guy's cheek.

It's soft, like a cotton pad.

"Ralts?" Ralts turned its head, looked at its trainer, then at the baby bottle in its arms, reluctantly pulled out the nipple, held up the half-empty bottle, and looked at Wei Xin with longing eyes.

Would you like a sip? You can only have one sip.

Wei Xin's pupils slowly dilated, and his eyes became misty with tears.

Whose baby is this adorable and well-behaved?

Oh, so this is my home.

"We have plenty of milk at home, so don't worry about drinking it. If you need more, we can just ask Professor Grandpa for some," Wei Xin said.

The research center has its own large milk tanks for breeding, and it uses only the best materials to feed the cows. Therefore, the quality of the milk produced is equivalent to Wagyu beef or Wahaha mineral water. In terms of both nutritional value and taste, it is unmatched by other farms, and it is the only one of its kind.

Hearing Wei Xin say this, Ralts obediently put away the bottle and continued to enjoy her royal treatment. Wei Xin took out his phone, ignoring the friendly and harmonious greetings from his classmates, and took the first photo of Ralts in his arms.

I turned it into my phone wallpaper in no time.

After finishing a bottle of milk, Ralts shook the bottle in its hand, licked its lips with lingering satisfaction, and looked up at Wei Xin with longing eyes.

"Alright, that's all for now. Look how bloated your tummy is." Wei Xin tapped Ralts's abdomen.

Eating too much at once is bad for a Pokémon's health. Some Pokémon, such as Goldeen, may even die from overeating. Therefore, feeding small, frequent meals is the correct way to feed young Pokémon.

"Now that we've eaten, it's time to get down to business." Wei Xin took a Poké Ball from the table, waved it in front of Ralts, and said, "This is a Poké Ball. Once you get inside, you're my child."

Why do I feel like some weird uncle trying to abduct an innocent girl? It must be my imagination.

How could there be such a handsome, weirdo as me?

"Ralts~" Ralts was less than two hours old and couldn't understand Wei Xin's words, but she could sense that the trainer seemed to want her to go in.

She liked the person in front of her very much, so she was very obedient. She raised her hand and gently tapped the Poké Ball in Wei Xin's hand, which turned into a red light and entered the ball.

The Poké Ball didn't even vibrate; it just flashed red twice and then emitted a crisp, pleasant sound.

I got Shiny Ralts.

[Catch one Pokémon, reward 50000 Action Points]

The Pokémon six-dimensional stat comparison chart is now available for viewing.

What is the Pokémon six-dimensional comparison chart?

With a thought, Wei Xin created a virtual panel that unfolded before his eyes. On the left was a picture he had taken of Ralts, and on the right was a string of text.

[Race: Ralts (Variant)]

[Attribute: Psychic Fairy]

[Egg Group: Humanoid Group, Amorphous Group]

【Characteristic: Telepathy】

[Feature Development Level: Basic]

[Reaction time: Poor]

Movement speed: Poor

Physical strength: Poor

[Special Strength: Normal]

Combat Skills: Poor

[PS: Ability comparisons are based on the average value of similar Pokémon.]

"Apart from Special Attack and Special Defense, all the base stats are bad? Well, that makes sense, considering it's a newly hatched baby."

You can't expect a newborn baby to catch a bullet with their bare hands, can you?

Moreover, the fact that Ralts possessed an ability that was at the average level of her group right after birth proves that she was exceptionally talented.

Hmm, it's been almost a minute since I separated from Ralts, and I'm feeling a little lonely.

Before Wei Xin could open the Poké Ball, a flash of red light appeared, and Ralts jumped out of the ball on its own.

Although the environment inside is quite comfortable, like a warm and safe nest, and she can observe the outside world through the Poké Ball, the thin layer of the ball wall prevents her from absorbing the emotions emanating from her trainer, so she doesn't like to stay inside.

"Ralts~" Ralts stood on the table, opening its arms to Wei Xin.

Ralts requests to be picked up by you and snuggled up to you. Please select.

A refuses; B agrees; C punches her and makes her cry for a long time; D.

I immediately picked him up and inhaled him violently.

Without saying a word, Wei Xin hoisted Ralts onto his shoulder.

How could anyone resist getting close to Ralts?

The person who chose C, step forward! I'll punch you twice and knock your head off.
