Juan Juan Er's body was very soft.
Natsume placed them in the bathtub, then rubbed bath gel on their bodies.
They were smooth and tender.
“Speaking of which, Juan Juan Er's evolved form is a Long-Eared Rabbit.”
“There have been news reports of humans marrying Long-Eared Rabbits abroad.”
Natsume was bathing Juan Juan Er while lost in thought.
In this world, humans and some Pokémon are not reproductively isolated.
The so-called “some Pokémon” refer to the humanoid Pokémon.
For example, Gardevoir and Gothitelle are both humanoid Pokémon.
Slap~
Juan Juan Er discovered Natsume's distraction and slapped the water with its paw.
The water splashed onto Natsume's body.
Natsume snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Juan Juan Er, laughing: "Ambush, huh?"
“You're going down.”
Natsume scooped up a large amount of water and splashed it towards the two Juan Juan Er.
“Juan Juan~”
The two Juan Juan Er looked at each other, then both showed mischievous expressions.
They reached out their hands, each grabbing Natsume's wrist.
“Juan Juan~ 1, 2~”
“Wait, don't...”
Splash~
Natsume was pulled into the bathtub by the two Juan Juan Er before he could finish his sentence.
“You two little guys.”
Natsume wiped the water from his face helplessly.
“Juan Juan~”
Juan Juan Er seemed very happy.
Since it was summer, Natsume simply took off his clothes and bathed with Juan Juan Er.
After bathing, Natsume dried them off.
Juan Juan Er's wet fur quickly became fluffy again, which made them feel very comfortable.
In the kitchen, Rotom had prepared lunch.
The main dish was still Wangwang Valley.
There was also a specially cooked experience porridge.
The experience candies in the experience porridge had actually melted.
“Darumaka, Juan Juan Er.”
Natsume distributed the experience porridge to them.
“Try it and see how it tastes.”
The Darumaka immediately gathered around, and they quickly devoured their portions of the porridge.
Juan Juan Er held its own portion, taking a small sip at first, then drinking faster and faster.
Natsume focused his attention on the Darumaka leader.
After finishing the experience porridge, the experience bar behind the Darumaka leader's level rapidly started to fill.
The Darumaka leader's level rose to 22.
Natsume looked at the other Darumaka.
Their levels had also increased.
The Darumaka's average level rose to 20.
The two Juan Juan Er's levels also reached 18.
Evidently, the three experience candies melted into the porridge were a huge boost for them!
Natsume opened his phone.
The mission reward included an attribute gem to be drawn.
Natsume clicked to draw.
A roulette wheel with eighteen attributes started spinning rapidly in front of Natsume.
【Prompt: You have obtained the Dark Gem】
“A Dark Gem.”
Natsume looked at the Darumaka leader.
Among the farm Pokémon, currently only the Darumaka are Dark-type Pokémon.
“Daruma?”
The Darumaka leader noticed Natsume's gaze.
“Come here.”
Natsume beckoned the Darumaka leader with his hand.
The Darumaka leader immediately trotted over and crouched in front of Natsume.
Natsume took out the Dark Gem: “Darumaka, this is for you.”
“Daruma~”
The Darumaka leader opened its mouth and ate the Dark Gem that Natsume offered.
Dark energy began to grow within the Darumaka leader's body.
Evolutionary light instantly erupted, enveloping the Darumaka's body!
In the light, the Darumaka's body began to grow.
“Haxorus~ Aow~!！”
A terrifying roar suddenly rang out.
“Juan Juan!”
Juan Juan Er was startled and rushed towards Natsume's arms.
“Don't be afraid.”
Natsume comforted: “This is Darumaka's evolution.”
“Buzz~”
The Woobat, who had been sleeping in the corner, was also awakened by Haxorus' roar.
It took off suddenly, but crashed headfirst into the ceiling and fell down.
【Darumaka has completed evolution】
【Haxorus learned new skills: Inferno Overdrive, Thunder Fang, Dark Pulse】
【Haxorus's Special Attack rose to 31 points】
The light dissipated.
In front of Natsume, a black dog appeared!
【Name: Haxorus】
【Type: Dark/Fire】
【Level: lv27】
【Ability: Early Bird】
【Individual Value Aptitude: hp (30), Attack (21), Defense (22), Special Attack (31), Special Defense (25), Speed (28)】
【Skills: Ember, Roar, Bite, Flame Charge, Smog, Inferno Overdrive, Thunder Fang, Dark Pulse】
【Inherited Skills: Detailed Analysis】
【Potential: Gym-Level】
Haxorus' appearance was full of intimidation. In the past, people believed that Haxorus was a messenger from Hell.
Haxorus' roar was the call of death.
“Daruma~”
The Darumaka looked at their leader, who had become even stronger, and excitedly gathered around.
At that moment, Haxorus' gaze fixed on the Houndoom.
“Haxorus!”
Houndoom tilted its head, then shook its fur and slowly stood up.
“Aow!”
Haxorus challenged Houndoom!
Houndoom accepted the challenge!
“Hax~”
“Garchomp~”
Upon seeing Haxorus challenge Houndoom, the Garchomp and the rest who had finished eating immediately ran towards the outside.
The Pokémon, having finished their work and eaten, were clearly very interested in watching the spectacle.
“Buzz?”
Woobat looked at everyone in confusion.
What's happening, what's happening?
What happened?
The Woobat, which had just woken up, was completely bewildered.
Natsume picked up the Woobat and placed it on his shoulder: “Let's go.”
“We’re going to watch Houndoom and Haxorus' battle.”
