Chapter 10: The Birth of Tapu Bear-Bear!
🕑 Added 2025-09-06 13:11:54 +0000 UTCAs Eevee evolved, its emotion value began skyrocketing wildly.
Within the radiant glow, Eevee's appearance rapidly transformed. Its body grew larger, covered in snow-white fur, while its ears, tail, and paws sprouted pink hair. Its eyes turned light blue, and ribbon-like feelers emerged from its head, making it look incredibly adorable and charming.
When the light finally faded, a brand new Eevee appeared before everyone's eyes.
Sylveon had been born!
At the same time, text appeared in Kawaki's vision.
[Sylveon's mood has risen, Joy Value +160, received Sylveon's gift: "Huge Power" talent.]
Kawaki was slightly stunned.
Huge Power... talent?
Was this a reward from the Eevee that excelled in physical strength?
"Sylvi!" Sylveon let out an ethereal, soft cry. Great job, Ariel, it had done it!
Ariel hugged Sylveon tightly: "I knew it, you're the best!"
"Sylvi!"
The others around them looked on with emotion, all breaking into smiles.
"Looks like little Eevee finally got its wish!" Kohki said with feeling.
"Yeah, now Ariel and Sylveon won't miss the Contest in Fallarbor Town!" Ryuu was also happy for his companion.
Kawaki glanced at Sylveon's stats.
[Pokémon: Sylveon]
[Gender: Male]
[Ability: Cute Charm]
[Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, Growl, Covet, Sand Attack, Baby-Doll Eyes, Swift, Quick Attack, Charm]
[Status: Healthy]
[Mood: ️️️(/≧▽≦)/~┴┴]
[Joy Value: 100]
[Friendship: 30 (It's filled with gratitude toward you)]
[Description: Ariel and I are the best in the world! —Sylveon.]
A whopping 170 point increase in Joy Value... Kawaki was somewhat surprised. Was this an emotional rebound from rock bottom?
"Thank you so much, boss!" Ariel released Sylveon and bowed seriously to Kawaki.
"No need to thank me, you already paid." Kawaki shook his head.
"No, your words helped me understand something, so we absolutely must thank you!" Ariel said earnestly. "Now we're going to Fallarbor Town to compete in the Contest!"
Kawaki smiled: "Then I wish you the best of luck in the competition."
Ariel nodded: "Mm-hmm, and if we ever need anything in the future, we'll definitely visit the Daycare again!"
"I'll be here waiting to see you both again." Kawaki replied.
"Sylvi!" Sylveon was also saying goodbye to Bewear.
Since the Contest was being held tomorrow, and if they missed this one they'd have to wait a long time, the three didn't linger at the Daycare. They hurried back to Fallarbor Town to prepare.
After seeing off the Daycare's first customer, Kawaki was in great spirits.
This time, he'd earned a total of ₽5,300, with practically zero costs.
Because those berry juices were made from berries that Bewear had picked from the wild.
"Whew, not bad at all. I'd call that a lucky opening!"
"Bewear!" Bewear was also very happy.
Wonderful! The Daycare was officially open for business!
Seeing Bewear's joy, Kawaki smiled slightly, then turned his attention to the panel in front of him.
[Huge Power (Talent): Dramatically enhances a Pokémon's strength, doubling the power of physical attack moves. Can be used on any Pokémon to add this talent without affecting their original ability.]
When Kawaki read the description clearly, he froze completely.
This thing... shouldn't this be an ability?
No, this wasn't an ability, but rather that Eevee's talent. Compared to special attacks, it was more gifted with physical strength. Combined with the massive 160 Joy Value boost, Eevee's strength specialty had transformed into this [Huge Power] talent as a gift for him.
Even more incredible was that this thing wouldn't interfere with a Pokémon's original ability!
If he gave this move to a Pokémon that specialized in physical power...
Instantly, several Pokémon flashed through Kawaki's mind.
Slaking with its Truant ability.
Regigigas with its Slow Start ability.
Overpowered!
But compared to those Pokémon, there was a more suitable candidate right in front of Kawaki.
Kawaki looked up at the Bewear beside him.
Bewear, a Pokémon with a base Attack stat of 125.
If he gave this Huge Power talent to it...
The world's second Tapu Bear-Bear was about to be born.
This reminded Kawaki of that Bewear from the Alola region in the anime.
That Bewear could punch Buzzwole and kick Pheromosa, incredibly powerful and not inferior to any Ultra Beast.
Countless fans dubbed it the fifth guardian deity of the Alola region, the Bear God, and nicknamed it Tapu Bear-Bear.
"Bewear, I want to give you a present." Kawaki said.
"Bewear?!" Bewear immediately looked over expectantly. The little human wanted to give it a gift?
Kawaki smiled, then stepped forward and placed his hand on Bewear's head.
[Huge Power] talent, activate!
Target: Bewear!
Instantly, Bewear felt a terrifying power entering its body.
It felt like its entire being had become incredibly strong!
"Bewear?!"
This sensation left Bewear both shocked and delighted. It blinked and looked up at its little human in disbelief.
"How does it feel? Pretty good, right?" Kawaki asked with a smile.
"Bewear!" The little human is amazing!
Bewear didn't overthink it. Only one thought floated through its mind: it would use this power to protect its little human!
The excited Bewear hugged Kawaki, holding him in its embrace.
"Oof!"
Kawaki felt like a tremendous force was about to break his bones.
"Stop!"
Bewear loosened its grip and looked over in confusion.
"Starting today, I'm going to teach you how to control your strength." Kawaki said.
Only then did Bewear realize why its little human had called stop. It quickly released its hold and scratched its head sheepishly.
"Bewear..."
Kawaki breathed a sigh of relief.
This was perfect. With Bewear around, he didn't have to worry about Team Magma or Team Aqua thugs coming to the Daycare to steal Pokémon.
Speaking of which, the Growlithe egg should be hatching soon, right?
Kawaki went to check the incubation room.
[Growlithe Egg: A Pokémon egg that can hatch into the Fire-type Pokémon Growlithe.]
[Health Status: Healthy]
[Father: Arcanine (Elite Four-level strength)]
[Mother: Arcanine (Elite Four-level strength)]
[Hatching Progress: 29/30]
Excellent, it looked like it would hatch tomorrow. Then the Daycare would have another Pokémon!
But this still wasn't enough.
Bewear handled guarding the Daycare, cleaning, and housework.
Once Growlithe grew up, it could help with making fires for cooking, guarding the backyard, and watching over customers' boarded Pokémon.
But that was far from sufficient.
Kawaki's thoughts turned to the farmland in the courtyard.
For now, he still needed some Grass-type Pokémon to help tend the fields.
Kawaki wasn't too worried about this, because right behind the Daycare stretched the vast Fallarbor Forest.
Thanks to the volcanic ash, the vegetation here grew incredibly lush, and the rich natural ecosystem attracted many Pokémon to make their homes here, including some rather rare species.
The original owner's father had been a forest ranger for this very forest.
Kawaki knew this place was home to countless Grass-type Pokémon.
"This evening after the Daycare closes, I could go into the forest with Bewear to see if there are any Pokémon suitable for the Daycare." Kawaki murmured.
He'd bought several Poké Balls earlier that would come in handy now.
The current Daycare was still too empty and quiet, so empty it made you want to fill it up.
Lively and bustling would be so much better!
