Chapter 53 - 53: The Mission Location
He crouched down, placing his hand on a nearby rock. He felt a cold sensation spread from his palm, but for some reason, it brought a sense of relief.
Shaking his head, he tried to clear that feeling from his mind and carefully lifted the Larvitar egg. As he suspected, there was a small crack on the surface.
Now, the crack was firmly sealed, thanks to the cleansing geocentric milk that had condensed over it, repairing the egg with nature's power.
Additionally, the geocentric cleansing milk, known for its life-extending properties, had restored the life energy that Larvitar had lost.
Feeling the vitality radiating from the egg, Cain reflected: "A great mother, a great nature."
By a series of coincidences, Cain had found this Larvitar egg. Perhaps it was meant to be.
The layer of geocentric cleansing milk had allowed the egg's vitality to recover. If it could hatch, Larvitar would surely show extraordinary talent for the Rock type.
However, blessings can sometimes be a double-edged sword. The energy contained in the geocentric cleansing milk was so powerful that, after enveloping the egg for so many years, it had fused with the shell. This made hatching nearly impossible.
So, according to the system's reading, this valuable pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg had become an egg full of life but unable to hatch.
With mixed feelings, Cain handed the egg to Slowpoke, asking it to carefully hold it with its psychic power.
Though it was a shame the egg couldn't hatch, Cain would still try to find an alternative method to make it happen.
