Chapter 383

"At least the current situation is good—it's absorbing my aura, proving I can help it!"

"So that means…"

"Yes, there's a great chance we can save it!"

"That's wonderful!"

But despite their joy, they kept their eyes fixed, unwilling to relax until everything was truly settled.

Soon, Bai Jing stopped smiling, and cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue panicked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"I'm reaching my limit—I never expected it to demand so much!"

I'm at the peak of Champion rank, nearly approaching Divine Level, yet it's still not enough for this little thing's hunger!

"Then stop immediately—don't give any more!"

Sister Zhuge Chaoyue was frantic, because she wouldn't allow Bai Jing to suffer even the slightest harm.

"So it still won't work?"

Sister Zhuge Ying was deeply disappointed; the Sableye's eyes dimmed completely.

"Don't rush!"

"Come out, Lucario!"

"Ryo?"

"Help me!"

Lucario didn't hesitate—he pressed his hand against the Pokémon egg and transmitted his aura.

"Remember—not to push yourself!"

At that moment, hope flared again in everyone's hearts!

Time passed slowly; under the tense gaze of the group, Bai Jing suddenly pulled his hand away and yanked Lucario off—the Pokémon egg began to fall, making the Sableye scramble to catch it.

Looking again, the man and the Pokémon were both gasping, pale-faced, drenched in sweat.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Your Majesty was deeply concerned.

"I'm fine—I'll recover with a little rest. I wouldn't risk my life or Lucario's!"

"Good! What about it?"

Everyone's gaze turned to the Pokémon egg.

"Huh? It looks different!"

"It is different—it's glossy now, no longer lifeless!"

"Is it alive?"

"Jing'er, tell us the situation!"

The Sableye also lifted its head, watching Bai Jing with hopeful eyes.

Bai Jing rechecked, then smiled—a wide, joyful smile.

"It's alive—fully alive. The placenta is forming, its vitality is robust; we only need to wait for it to hatch!"

"Really?"

Sister Zhuge Ying and the Sableye both doubted their ears!

"Absolutely certain—its vitality now surpasses that of any Pokémon!"

After consuming most of my and Lucario's aura, of course it's healthy!

Bai Jing was secretly astonished—this Ralts was extraordinary, its potential must be immense.

"That's wonderful!"

"Sableye, did you hear? The child is saved—it's alright!"

The Sableye burst into tears of joy and immediately knelt before Bai Jing.

"Stop that—I must clarify one thing!"

"What? Does it have some other problem?"

"It's not its problem—it's mine! Because its life transformation relied on my aura, it now bears my mark. You understand, right?"

"You mean it will depend on you, become your Pokémon?"

"Something like that. From now on, Lucario and I will be its closest kin—it has inherited our power, a mark of life and bloodline."

Sister Zhuge Ying waved her hand, "It doesn't matter. Saving this child's life is already a miracle, and for it to be raised by you is no dishonor—it's a perfect outcome!"

"You agree, Sableye?"

The Sableye nodded—it was enough that the child's life was saved; it dared not hope for more.

PS: Let me reiterate here—genderless doesn't mean truly without gender; it means they can be either male or female, with no concept of sex. Also, indeed, Jirachi has no gender difference.
