<h4>Chapter 1055: Hatching And Awakening</h4>


    It was Lance who called Yuga.


    On the phone, Lance insisted oning to Verdanturf Town to see Yuga, but he wouldn''t tell Yuga the specific reason.


    Yuga had no choice but to agree to wait for him toe.


    A few days passed in a sh.


    During these days, Yuga had been keeping an eye on the Aegish, but since it fainted at the hands of Mismagius, it hadn''t woken up.


    Then the Pokémon that the League had rewarded Yuga arrived.


    The one escorting the Pokémon was the Elite Four member Sidney, and Lance came along with her.


    To Yuga''s delight, the League not only sent all the Pokémon he had applied for but also transferred the eight Meganium that were originally allocated to Ever Grande City to him.


    Additionally, when Yuga applied for Roserade and Roselia, he didn''t specify whether he wanted Roserade or Roselia.


    So, the League sent all Roserade to him.


    Yuga wanted Roserade and Roselia for breeding purposes.


    Compared to the second-stage Roselia, the fully evolved Roserade was more suitable, not only saving the need for a Shiny Stone for evolution but also saving Yuga a lot of training time.


    Since the Roserades were meant to pair with Florges, Yuga requested that the League send males.


    The League didn''t disappoint; they sent healthy and strong adult males.


    The reason the League was so considerate and prompt was all thanks to Yuga capturing the Smence for them.


    Yuga wasn''t familiar with Sidney, so after delivering the Pokémon, he left, while Lance stayed.


    After Sidney left, Yuga said to Lance, "No onees to the temple for no reason! Tell me, what''s the reason you had toe here?"


    Hearing this, Lance put his arm around Yuga''s shoulder andughed, "Don''t say it like that. We''ve been through thick and thin together. Can''t I juste to see you?"


    Yuga casually pushed Lance''s arm off his shoulder, then stared at him intently, with a look that clearly said: Go on, keep making up stories.


    In the end, Lance couldn''t withstand Yuga''s "piercing" gaze and had to surrender, saying, "Alright, alright, I''ll tell the truth. I heard you guys cleared out Meteor Vige. You have a Bagon here, right?"


    When it came to Meteor Vige, Lance had very mixed feelings.


    Both the Draconid People and his own Dragon Tamers were descendants of the ancient dragon n lineage.


    However, the actions of the Draconid People had increasingly diverged from those of his Dragon Tamers.


    Although the two ns did not have a good rtionship, seeing the demise of the Draconid People now left him withplex emotions.


    Yuga was surprised that Lance hade for the Bagon.


    After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Your information is quite up-to-date, but I have very few Bagon, so I can only use them for breeding purposes. They are not for sale right now."


    Hearing this, Lance made a distressed face, sped his hands together, and said, "Don''t be like that. Let''s negotiate a little bit more. Just sell me one, just one."


    Yuga didn''t hesitate to refuse again, "No way, this is non-negotiable."


    Having justpensated Takahiro Ogata with one Bagon had already made Yuga feel the pinch.


    Selling another one to Lance would jeopardize the sustainable development of his Pokémon!


    Besides, with Lance''s status, could a Bagon with green potential satisfy him?


    Obviously not.


    Yuga only had three Bagon with blue potential!


    Seeing Yuga''s firm stance, Lance started to plead his case, "You have no idea how tough it is for me. I''m supposed to be a Dragon-type trainer, but everyone jokes that I''m a Flying-type trainer. Do you think that''s easy for me..."


    When Lance first became famous, apart from his two Dragonites, Altaria and Kingdra, his main Pokémon also included Charizard, Gyarados, and Aerodactyl.


    Nearly half of his main Pokémon weren''t Dragon-type but had Flying-type attributes.


    In addition, Dragonite and Altaria also had Flying attributes.


    So, except for Kingdra, almost all of Lance''s main Pokémon had Flying attributes when he became famous, leading to him beingbeled as a Flying-type trainer.


    Listening to Lance''sints, Yuga felt exasperated: You didn''t seem to care at all before, and don''t forget that Smence also has Flying attributes!


    Seeing that Yuga was still unyielding, Lance asked, "I''ve told you how tough it is for me. Won''t you really help me out?"


    Yuga shook his head.


    Seeing this, Lance gave up the act and sighed, "Alright, if you don''t sell it to me, let''s trade instead."


    Yuga asked, puzzled, "Trade?"


    Lance nodded, "Yes, I really want a Bagon. Our family has Dratini, but I''ve already raised two Dragonites. I can''t keep raising Dratini; I might as well call myself a Dragonite trainer then. So, I''ll trade you a Dratini for a Bagon."


    Hearing Lance''s words, Yuga really wanted to kick him.


    What kind of nonsense was he saying?


    Comining about not being able to keep raising Dratini?


    Some people haven''t even had the chance to raise one, and here he was being picky!


    A well-fed man does not know how a hungry man suffers.


    Seeing the look on Yuga''s face, as if he wanted to punch him, Lance asked in confusion, "What''s with that look? Did I say something wrong?"


    Yuga suppressed his urge to punch him and thought that Lance''s idea of trading a Dratini for a Bagon wasn''t bad.


    Dragonite and Smence could breed together, and there was a chance to produce both Bagon and Dratini, which would be double the joy.


    "Alright, I can ept trading a Dratini for a Bagon. How do you want to do it?"


    Seeing that Yuga agreed, Lance was delighted and said, "I can''t offer more than one Dratini. I can only trade one."


    The Dragon Tamers were arge family with limited Dratini resources.


    If Lance weren''t the future hope of the Dragon Tamers, he wouldn''t even have the chance to get another Dratini after already raising two Dragonites.


    Yuga said, "One is fine. Did you bring the Dratini? Just so you know, I don''t have any Bagon right now, only Bagon eggs. If you don''t mind, we can trade."


    Lance quickly nodded, "I don''t mind, I don''t mind. Bagon eggs are fine."


    After saying this, he took out a specially crafted Poké Ball from the Dragon Tamers, which contained a Dratini.


    So, Yuga had asked Audino to bring out a Bagon egg from the Ecopark, and the two of them happily made the trade.


    The Dratini that Lance brought was of blue potential, so Yuga traded a blue potential Bagon egg for it.


    Satisfied with the Bagon egg, Lance left YoYo Day Care contentedly.


    After Lance left, Yuga took the Pokémon sent by the League and the Dratini to the Ecopark.


    The Roserade and Meganium were sent directly to the Flower Sea Sub-Ecopark, and the Scyther was sent to the Insect Nest Sub-Ecopark.


    Originally, there were six Scythers in Yuga''s Ecopark, one with green potential and five with yellow potential.


    After Yuga used the Innovation Potions on them, two of the yellow potential Scythers evolved to green potential, and the three that didn''t change were sent to the new Ecopark.


    The three Scythers had always lived alongside Pinsir, and after using the Innovation Potions, the number of Pinsir outnumbered the Scyther by two.


    Now, with the addition of the new Scyther, the situation was reversed.


    The Pokémon bred by the League were highly adaptable.


    Whether it was Roserade, Meganium, or Scyther, they quickly adapted to the new environment in the Ecopark.


    Yuga didn''t ce the Dratini with the Bagon to live together but instead handed it directly to Dragonite''s mother for care.


    Dratini was young and not from the same species as the Bagon, so Yuga was worried that if they were put together, the Bagon might bully Dratini due to their numbers.


    Additionally, since Dratini looked different from itspanions, Yuga was concerned that living with the Bagon for a long time might cause psychological issues for Dratini.


    The best solution was to have Dratini stay with Dragonite''s mother.


    As they grew up and matured, these issues would no longer be a problem.


    A month passed quickly.


    The News of Yuga being inducted into the Hoenn League Hall of Fame and earning the title of Hall of Fame Trainer was announced and widely reported.


    For a time, Yuga was in the spotlight.


    After being inducted into the Hall of Fame, Yuga''s statue would be ced in the Hall of Fame''s main hall alongside the statues of previous Hall of Fame Trainers, bing a goal and benchmark for all trainers.


    The birth of each Hall of Fame Trainer was not easy.


    Without making a significant contribution to the League, it was almost impossible, making it the lifelong dream of nearly all ordinary trainers in the League.


    With the new title of Hall of Fame Trainer, Yuga gradually became an idol for many young trainers.


    Over the past month, the Pokémon eggs Yuga brought back from Meteor Vige finally began to hatch one after another.


    The first ones to hatch were Ekans and Seviper.


    Since these Pokémon had always lived with Dragon-type Pokémon in Meteor Vige and many were descendants of Dragon-type Pokémon, Yuga still ced them in the Dragon Cave Sub-Ecopark to live with the Dragon-type Pokémon.


    Because Dragonite''s mother, Tyranitar, and the Hydreigon couple didn''t manage the Dracon Cave Sub-Ecopark affairs, and Aerodactyl had be more well-behaved over time, the ones in charge of the Dragon Cave Sub-Ecopark were now the two Haxorus.


    The Haxorus couple were strong yet gentle and had a strong sense of justice.


    Since they took charge of the Dragon Cave Sub-Ecopark, it had been running smoothly, even keeping the previously unruly Smence couple from Meteor Vige in line.


    After the Seviper and Ekans hatched one after another, the Charmander also started to be born one by one.


    Since the leader Nales and the leader Houndoom couple had always been responsible for the Nales n, the Houndoom n, andter the Pyroar, Yuga didn''t want to burden them further.


    Instead, he entrusted the newly born Charmander to Arcanine.


    Arcanine, who already took care of Growlithe, willingly epted the task of looking after a group of Charmander as well.


    The Bagon was born a monthter.


    The birth of the new Bagon made the previously sparse Bagon n suddenly lively and vibrant.


    Seeing the Bagon y and tussle with Axew on the grass was a delightful sight.


    Yuga ced all the new Bagon with the Haxorus family, letting them live together with Axew, making it easier for the Haxorus couple to take care of them.


    As for the original Smence couple, Yugapletely ignored them.


    Given their temper, the idea of entrusting the Bagon to their care was unthinkable for Yuga.


    In the new month, aside from focusing on the birth of the Pokémon, the only thing Yuga cared about was the Aegish that had fallen into slumber again.


    One day, Aegish finally woke up again.


    Over the past two months, Yuga noticed that although Aegish had been sleeping, it was instinctively absorbing the faint life energy in the air.


    Its level was also slowly recovering.


    Although the recovery speed was not fast, it gradually returned to the peak of pseudo-Elite level and was ready to reach the Elite level at any time.


    Seeing its progress, Yuga put Aegish into his shadow space to let it absorb the energy from the Shadow Space''s origin stone fragments.


    Sure enough, within a few days, it fully woke up.


    The Mismagius who is in the shadow space, noticing that Aegish is about to wake up and fearing it might go on a rampage and damage the shadow space, directly threw it out.


    Aegish, just regaining consciousness and still unclear about its situation, suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.


    With a "ng," Aegish was thrown out of the shadow space and found itself face-to-face with Yuga.


    Or rather, face-to-eye, as Aegish had only one eye.


    "Uh... hello?"


    Yuga greeted Aegish awkwardly.


    "Who... who are you? Where is this ce?"


    Aegish''s consciousness emitted a wave of thoughts that Yuga urately captured.


    Compared to before, when its body was covered with mottled marks, the Aegish that had absorbed the energy of the Shadow Space''s origin stone appeared renewed, exuding a strong presence with a faint aura of regal authority.


    Seeing the Aegish in this state, Yuga couldn''t help but recall the information he had read about it.


    Aegish, the Royal Sword Pokémon, can judge whether a human possesses the qualities of a king.


    It is said that those whose recognized by it will eventually be kings.


    Although such legends shouldn''t be taken entirely at face value, they aren''tpletely baseless.


    Fortunately, the now fully conscious Aegish didn''t attack Yuga indiscriminately.


    Yuga quickly exined his identity and their current location to it.


    After hearing Yuga''s exnation, Aegish was momentarily dazed.


    It couldn''t believe that what felt like a short nap hadsted three thousand years, during which its kingdom had perished and it had ended up in a foreignnd.


    Yuga was equally surprised to learn that this Aegish was from over three thousand years ago.


    Unfamiliar with Kalos''s history, Yuga did some online research after hearing the name of the kingdom from Aegish.


    He discovered that it indeed matched a nation that had been destroyed in Kalos region three thousand years ago.


    ording to Aegish, it had been the beast of the kingdom''s first emperor.


    After guarding the kingdom for a hundred years, it had entered its master''s tomb and fallen into a deep slumber.


    That slumbersted three thousand years.


    It was clear that the tomb of its master must have been looted; otherwise, Aegish wouldn''t have ended up as a relic in the outside world.


    "What are your ns now?" Yuga asked while looking at the still-dazed Aegish.


    ns?


    Aegish didn''t know either.


    After a long pause, itmunicated its thoughts to Yuga.


    "I... want to return to the Kalos region to see if my master''s tomb still exists."


    "But it''s been three thousand years. The world has changed, and you probably don''t even remember where your master was buried, do you?"


    Indeed, it didn''t remember.


    Not only had thendscape changed over the centuries, but much of Aegish''s memory had also been lost during its three thousand years of slumber.
