Pokémon from Galar

"I don't know, so I was wondering if you could help me..."

"now?"

"No, wait until things calm down. The situation is too unclear right now. We can't let you in without permission."

"I understand. Contact me directly after that."

"Okay, I'll hang up now."

After saying that, the call ended abruptly, and the location displayed on the screen then switched back to the snowfield.

"Oh... does Mary possess such an ability? Oh well, I'll just go ask her myself... I've already made it so obvious."

Seemingly having confirmed the connection to Mary, President Lorze calmed down and slowly dialed Mary's number.

Mary pulled her half-body back out, shrunk the ball of light back onto her shoulder, and before she could even catch her breath, another phone call came in.

I picked up my phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number, but the location displayed was Gongmen City.

Mary patted her chest nervously, glanced at Wujita's status, and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, who is this...?"

"Long time no see, Mary. Next time, please let me know before preparing a surprise. I'm a middle-aged man who's about to retire. I don't have the big heart of a young person."

"..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mari realized that she was indeed no match for Mugentana and President Rose in this regard, and it seemed she needed to change her approach.

Chapter 343 Pregnancy

"So, Mary, where are you right now?"

Even through the screen, President Rose could see the chaotic energy flow behind Mary. Moreover, Mary's ability to move freely under this energy flow also caused President Rose a lot of complicated thoughts.

“Underground in the snowfield, Chairman Loz should be able to pinpoint my location.”

Having come this far, Mary could no longer pretend to be stupid. Besides, to be honest, in this environment, only Mary could handle it; anyone else might not be able to withstand it.

"Ha... So now can you tell me what you're doing? Contestant Mary?"

"Um--"

Mary nodded slightly, not refusing. Since things had come to this point, there was no need to hide anything.

While Marie was briefly explaining to Chairman Rose, on the other side, Eterna, who was focused on reviving, was gradually getting on track. A large amount of energy swept up all the matter and cells beneath him, condensing into an egg about half the height of a person.

The energy storm was still ongoing, but it was slightly milder than before, and the energy flow gradually became more orderly, continuously pouring into the giant egg.

Mugentana was carefully analyzing the cells that Marie had given him, and then began to simulate the human growth process inside the eggshell, starting with individual cells and gradually breaking down the resources that Marie had given him and putting them into it.

At this moment, Mujita only spared a sliver of attention to the situation outside, and naturally noticed the scene of Mari taking out Rotom's phone. Although the details of the conversation were unclear, it seemed that Roz was definitely involved.

Although he was quite curious about how Mary would deal with Loz, the current situation didn't allow him to devote too much energy to paying attention to what was happening outside. In fact, he would have to lose consciousness for a short period of time after the embryo grew into human form.

During this time, he was completely defenseless and could only rely on Mary's abilities to protect him.

As for Mary, after hearing the explanation, Chairman Rose returned to his usual attitude and did not express any opinion. He only asked Mary to bring Mugentana to Miyamon City after the call ended, and then cut off the call.

"Phew... It seems like there shouldn't be any problems for now."

Muttering uncertainly to herself, Mary let out a long breath, put away her Rotom phone, and peeked out from behind the rock pillar. After discovering that the egg had taken shape, she walked out and came to a closer position.

All Mary can do now is wait. It will take at least ten hours, and possibly longer. Mary has brought all her camping gear with her, and she might have to spend the night here.

Mary took out a folding chair, unfolded it, and then wrapped herself in a blanket and sat down, leisurely waiting.

……

The outside world, research institutes

After the initial panic subsided, the researchers gradually calmed down once they saw that no further anomalies were occurring. Although the energy activity inside was still too high for anyone to enter, at least the chaotic energy hadn't lifted the entire snowfield into the sky.

This relieved everyone, at least preventing any horrific terrain changes that would affect the entire Galar.

Moreover, the level of energy activity is also slowing down very slightly. Once it has completely subsided, we will be able to go and investigate what happened.

"Phew... Sonia, why don't you go and rest for a bit? You were so tense just now, it would be better if you could relax a bit."

Koya leaned against the railing and asked Sonia, who was helping to control the equipment, "This is what I'm asking you." Although Sonia was helping out here, her knowledge and status made her special, so Koya would naturally give her extra consideration.

"It's alright, let them rest a bit longer. My heart is much bigger than theirs."

Sonia smiled and waved her hand dismissively. She had been a trainer before and had more experience than these researchers who had focused on research from the very beginning.

"Phew—alright then, but don't force yourself. Chairman Loz should know something about the situation right now. The fact that there are no clearer instructions means that things are unlikely to get any worse than they are now."

Koya, being a person in charge, still possessed the necessary emotional intelligence. He contacted a few friends to inquire about the situation. Although he couldn't uncover the core secrets, he could at least confirm that there wouldn't be any major danger.

"...Then why didn't you tell us? At least you should have been able to tell us, Sister Koya!"

"Ha~ It doesn't matter, as long as I can continue to do research, I have absolutely no interest in secrets or anything like that."

Koya smiled and shook her head. She had seen many people react to Sonia's attitude, and many people reacted even more strongly than she did. But for Koya, as long as Chairman Loz continued to allocate funds to her research institute every year for her research, it didn't matter what secrets she had.

"This is so inconsiderate..."

"Haha~ I'm getting old. Being able to do research in peace is better than anything else. Other things can be taken care of by others. What business is it of mine?"

As time passed quickly, the commotion at the two research institutes came and went just as fast. Apart from those directly involved, everyone else went about their business as usual, unaware of the terrifying events that had occurred that day.

The research institute in Hammerlocke City is working overtime to check on Mugentana's condition, trying to analyze something, while the research institute in Yukihara is still testing the underground space.

President Loz watched the sunset gradually disappear outside the window, silently pondering the problem, occasionally glancing at Mary's location, waiting for her to contact him.

Mugentana was currently curled up inside the eggshell, her delicate white body enveloped in a purplish-red liquid. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her face was expressionless. She resembled Mari, yet also bore a resemblance to Yuri.

Every now and then a pale golden light would flash and disappear, and the two energies worked together to promote the body's growth at a visible rate.

At this moment, the energy in the giant space has been reduced by more than half. Mary is curled up in a recliner, dozing off. She had just taken turns eating dinner outside and is now idly digesting her food.

She couldn't sense the state inside the egg, and could only roughly judge which stage it was at by the level of energy activity around her.

"Ha...it should be soon, right? I just don't know what time I'll be back tonight."

She covered her mouth and yawned, then blinked and wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes. She had thought she would be spending the night here, but she hadn't expected to be able to get back tonight.

Mugentana's movements were even faster than expected.

Chapter 344 Do we look alike?

As Ajina's consciousness gradually awakened, she felt a little uncomfortable because she hadn't experienced the constraints of a physical body for thousands of years.

Narrow and weak.

Although the body was sculpted to be very robust in order to support the enormous soul of Wujitai, perhaps because too much effort was spent on this aspect, the physical strength was not much stronger than that of a pure human.

"But it's still within expectations."

He tried to stretch his arms and legs and open his mouth. The sound that came out made even Mukita Na herself pause for a moment. There was no doubt that it was the voice of a young girl.

Meanwhile, the slender limbs had already touched the eggshell. The body sculpted by Mugenta was not deliberately shaped, but rather grew naturally in accordance with the records of the two DNAs.

I did a quick estimate of my height, and it's about a little over one meter. It's a bit short, but not too bad. Anyway, I'll grow taller soon.

"It's such a mesmerizing feeling... How long has it been since I've had such a vivid sensory experience?"

Instead of rushing out, with the last bit of energy still unabsorbed, Wuji Taina curiously explored her new body, the energy within her flowing peacefully.

Although it benefited from Marie's light, its own attributes did not change as a result. It remained a dual attribute of poison and dragon, but unexpectedly, it seemed to have gained a few more space-related psychic attribute moves.

With her exceptional energy control, Wujitana manipulated the miniature ultimate technique in the palm of her hand, and this unexpected gain brought her to the peak of her emotions, a level she hadn't reached in over three thousand years.

"I don't know how long I slept, but it's about time I went out."

The last trace of energy inside the eggshell was absorbed into Wujitana's body. She muttered to herself, then raised her delicate, white fist, and dragon-type energy spread out, enveloping her arm.

Dragon's tail!

With an awkward punching stance, Mukita swung his right fist out and smashed it into the eggshell, producing a crisp cracking sound.

Click-click-click

Cracks rapidly spread across the eggshell, and the solid energy crystals began to crumble. Eterna, seemingly still finding the pace a little too slow, raised its right hand again, this time channeling poison energy.

Poison Tail!

Bang-!

With the second punch, the overburdened eggshell finally shattered, and large chunks of energy crystals scattered, along with some of the unstable energy that had regained its imperceptible form and mixed into the air.

Snap,

Stepping barefoot onto the earth, the sensation she hadn't experienced in thousands of years left her momentarily stunned. This outcome was far, far better than she had expected, and all of this was thanks to that human…

Mukita raised her gaze and looked at Mary walking towards her. She smiled and was about to speak when Mary raised her hands with a subtle expression and wrapped herself in a large knitted cardigan.

"I knew it... How could a newly hatched creature possibly wear clothes..."

"Hmm—is this what human clothing feels like? Surprisingly, it's not bad."

Wujita awkwardly put her hands into the correct sleeves, then hugged her clothes and rubbed them against her body.

"They are indeed a bit too big, but you'll have to make do for now. Here, put these on."

Mary sized up the petite girl with long black hair in front of her and handed her a whole set of clothes.

"Hi hi..."

Mujitana didn't mince words and quickly took the clothes, changing Mary's old panties, vest, and dress into them. Although they still didn't fit quite right, at least they looked presentable enough to go out in public.

Meanwhile, Mary carefully observed the face that Mujita had sculpted. It was clear that the face resembled Yuri's in terms of features, but apart from the black hair, there was not much similarity between them.

A little puzzled, Mary touched her chin and frowned slightly. Did she prefer Yuri's appearance?

"What? Why are you staring at my face? This is a product of my special combination of your and your girlfriend's genes. Isn't it perfect!"

Mugentana turned around, proudly raising her little face to show it off to Mary.

"Really? But why do I feel like she looks more like Yuri? Does this face look like mine?"

She reached out and gently poked Mujita's little face; the childlike innocence unique to young girls made Mary's heart flutter.

"Your eyesight is bad, isn't it? It looked quite similar to me before."

"Well, it doesn't matter. How are things going? Nothing unexpected has happened, right?"

Mary didn't dwell on her appearance for long before moving on to another question.
