"Aerodactyl...is it officially captured?" Misty was stunned and then showed a look of surprise. The power of Aerodactyl was obvious to all. Such a powerful Pokémon was captured by Ash, which made Ash's strength even greater!
Ash patted Aerodactyl on the head. Although Aerodactyl was still not used to it, there was no resistance. Then, Ash let the Pokémon get acquainted with the evolved Charizard and the newly captured Aerodactyl before returning to the camp.
On the surface, Aerodactyl was the highest-level Pokémon in Ash's team, having reached the Gym level, but its real combat power wasn't as good as Charizard's.
The reason was not only the inheritance but also because Aerodactyl hadn't had much formal training, and its strength depended solely on its own power.
Its talent had reached the current level, meaning Aerodactyl had extraordinary potential.
If its potential was fully developed, Aerodactyl's combat power at the same level would far exceed other Pokémon's.
In the camp, Brock was preparing dinner while waiting for Ash and Misty's return. Although he didn't follow them, he felt a little worried. When he saw Ash and Misty returning with smiles, he understood that Aerodactyl had truly been captured.
"By the way, while you were out, I found a Pokémon egg." After stirring the soup in the pot with a spoon, Brock suddenly remembered what he had found after they left. He returned to the tent and took out the Pokémon egg.
"Pokémon egg!" Seeing the Pokémon egg Brock brought out, Misty leaned over with great interest and stared at the white egg with red and blue irregular polygon patterns.
"What kind of Pokémon egg is this?" Misty took the Pokémon egg from Brock's hand, looked at it, and asked him curiously.
"Pika.....Pika...." Pikachu jumped on Misty's shoulder and poked the Pokémon egg with its paw. It had never seen a Pokémon egg before; when it followed the Kangaskhan group, their offspring had already hatched.
"I don't know either..." Brock shook his head slightly. It was precisely because he didn't know the origin of this Pokémon egg that he was so curious.
The eggs born by Pokémon usually have certain characteristics of their own. Eevee's eggs, for example, are brown and cream-colored, consistent with the color of Eevee's fur.
But this was the first time Brock had seen this kind of egg with a white background and irregular patterns, and he couldn't think of any Pokémon that matched this description.
But when Ash saw it, he suddenly remembered that this egg was undoubtedly the egg of the Togekiss group, and the hatched Pokémon was naturally Togepi!
And this Pokémon had a different role in the anime than normal Pokémon. It didn't appear much until after Misty left the team, and it seemed to be released by Misty later.
"Ash, do you know?" Although Brock and Misty were still researching the origin of the Pokémon egg, Brock noticed Ash's expression. He was a little surprised at first, but after remembering that Ash was a student of Professor Oak, he thought it was natural.
Brock's words naturally caught the attention of Misty and Pikachu, and both looked at Ash at the same time.
"If I'm not mistaken, this Pokémon egg is a Togekiss Pokémon egg." Ash nodded slightly; there was nothing to hide.
"The egg of the Togekiss group...that is to say, it's Togepi?" Misty looked at the Pokémon egg in her arms in surprise. Of course, she had heard of the Pokémon Togekiss, a Pokémon that brings luck and happiness.
The Togekiss group was a very rare existence, and their rarity was even harder to see than pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It wasn't that they were few in number, but that their habitat was difficult to find!
The Togekiss group rarely appeared in front of humans. Someone once saw a large number of Togekiss and Togetic passing by in the wild. They wanted to catch up, but they couldn't keep up. They could only watch them leave with regret.
"The eggs of the Togekiss group, this is truly rare to see!" Brock suddenly perked up. As a breeder, he certainly wanted to know about the Pokémon of the Togekiss group, and now, he was able to see and interact with them closely, which was incredible.
"Let's take it with us and hatch it?" Misty seemed to love this Pokémon egg very much, stroking it gently, and said to Ash.
"No problem." Ash agreed.
"But..." Brock returned to the cooking pot, and while continuing to cook, he was also a little curious, "Why would the egg of a Togekiss appear here?"
Hearing Brock's question, Ash and Misty were also surprised that a Togekiss egg would appear in a place like Dasha Valley. Could there be a Togekiss group living here?
However, since Dasha Valley's discovery, there had been no news about a Togekiss group here. This suggested that wasn't the reason...
"Maybe it was left here when the Togekiss group passed by." Misty thought for a while and said this was the only remaining possibility; otherwise, it was unclear why it was here.
Ash and his party didn't dwell on this issue. After dinner, Misty excitedly hugged the egg, and except for Brock, who wanted to record it, she hardly let the egg leave her side.
Before resting, Ash used a video phone to contact Professor Oak and asked him to look after Wartortle. After explaining the situation, he promised to bring Wartortle back once Aerodactyl's temperament was less aggressive.
Professor Oak was also very curious about the existence of Aerodactyl.
Although he had encountered Aerodactyl before, those were resurrected from fossils, unlike Ash's, which was born in ancient times.
He believed he could learn something about the evolutionary process from this Aerodactyl.
After the call, Ash called his mother, Delia, before going to bed.
The night passed uneventfully, but the next morning, Ash was woken up by noises outside. Checking the time, it was only five o'clock, which surprised him. People here woke up so early.
After waking up, Ash didn't feel like going back to sleep. He mentioned it to Brock and went outside to find a secluded spot for morning exercise with his Pokémon. The focus was on the newly recovered Aerodactyl.
After observing Aerodactyl's movements, Ash also learned the moves it had mastered, which surprised him a bit.
In addition to Agility, Take Down, Ancient Power, Crunch, and Stone Edge displayed yesterday, Aerodactyl had also mastered Iron Head, Ice Fang, Fire Fang, and Thunder Fang!
"Cultivate the relationship well, make a training plan, and then send it to Professor Oak. You don't need to pay too much attention to it."
Ash nodded slightly. Aerodactyl already had sufficient combat power, so there was no need to keep it with him for too long.
After all, Wartortle and Beedrill needed his attention for targeted training.
