(Pictured: Bagon in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Pokédex)
Why was Qingyu so certain that this Dragon Egg contained a Bagon?
Because in the few seconds he had spent looking at the Dragon Egg just now, its information had already appeared before his eyes.
[Bagon (male) (about to hatch)] [Type: Dragon] [Ability: Rock Head] [A very stubborn nature]
Qingyu had always thought a Pokémon's personality was largely shaped by its upbringing.
But judging by this Bagon's egg, the little fellow seemed to be an Ironhead before he had even hatched...
As though to confirm Qingyu's thoughts, a dull thump came from the Pokémon Egg in Lance's hands every so often, as if something inside were trying to break out.
"This... this is far too valuable."
Qingyu stood frozen in place without reaching out to accept it.
He didn't feel he had done much of anything, after all. He had only been streaming and editing videos as usual.
Helping other Trainers had been the whole point of his streams in the first place.
Surely he wasn't playing games just to torment his opponents and viewers... (averts eyes)
As far as he was concerned, the Trainers he had helped were already being more than generous by sending him small tips during his streams.
So Lance's thank-you gift was far too precious.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony, Qingyu."
Lance shook his head and continued, his expression serious.
"Before coming to Paldea, I honestly had no idea what sort of person you were, or whether you had what it took to command dragons."
"But the moment I met you, I knew you would be an outstanding Trainer worthy of the title 'Dragon Master.'"
As he spoke, Lance raised his head and looked into Qingyu's clear eyes.
Though Qingyu spoke gently
