After looking at Buneary, Marcus continued to open Dolliv's panel:
[Dolliv ♀ lv27 (Intermediate)]
Ability: Early Bird
Talent: 354 (Has reached species maximum 354)
Pre-allocated Talent: Special Attack 8, Defense 11, Special Defense 12
Affection: 177
Held Item: Grassy Seed
Moves:
Learned: Grass Knot, Protect, Substitute
Proficient: Mega Drain, Sweet Scent, Growth, Strength Sap, Parting Shot, Weather Ball, Sunny Day.
Mastered: Grassy Terrain, Synthesis, Leech Seed
Recently, the move Dolliv has been training in the Dream Space is Protect, which she has now initially mastered.
If she were to face Toucannon again now, she would have more of an advantage.
Now, she just needs to continue leveling up, evolve to her final stage, and fill out her move pool to be fully formed.
"Hmm... Looking at it this way, it's also time to cultivate a new goal..."
Marcus muttered to himself, not noticing the Pokemon egg in his arms faintly shimmering with purple light.
...
Soon, he arrived at the Oreburgh Gym.
At this time, a Gym battle was also underway.
Standing on either side of the arena were Gym Leader Roark and Paul, who had recently been defeated by Marcus.
In the audience, Ash and his two companions were discussing the battle.
"Yo, what a coincidence, Ash~" Marcus led Buneary to the audience seats and greeted the three main characters.
"Huh?! It's Marcus, what are you doing here?"
"Same as you guys, here to watch Paul's battle."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Marcus looked at the arena and then frowned.
In the arena, Paul's Elekid was completely suppressed by Cranidos. After a few Zen Headbutts, Elekid immediately fainted.
"Elekid is unable to battle, the winner is Oreburgh Gym Leader Roark!"
"Tch... Come back."
Paul unhappily recalled Elekid and bowed slightly: "I'll be back next time."
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave.
Roark shook his head and reached out to hand over a Coal Badge: "Your strength is still quite good. If it weren't a 2v3, you should have been able to win. This badge..."
"No need!" Paul coldly interrupted Roark's good intentions, his face ashen.
He suddenly reached out and pointed at Marcus in the stands: "What he, a new Trainer, can do, I can naturally do too. Farewell!"
After speaking, he walked directly out of the Gym.
Marcus was stunned...
So, this guy lost because he himself tried to do a 2v3 after Marcus won with a 2v3?
He awkwardly rubbed his nose...
Damn it, failing a 2v3 and being witnessed by two rivals, no wonder Paul, this little tsundere, had such an expression...
However, this strange feeling...
'He didn't even turn his head to look when I entered, so how could he so keenly sense my location?'
Marcus's mouth twitched slightly. What was with this strange sense of rivalry?
At this moment, Ash suddenly stood up: "Alright! I've decided! I'm also going to defeat Gym Leader Roark with a 2v3!"
Dawn, Brock: "Huh?"
Roark, Marcus: ???
....
Facts proved that rivals are just that magical... No matter how much they tried to persuade him, Ash was determined to start the Oreburgh Gym challenge with a 2v3.
Roark could only agree to tomorrow's battle with a wry smile, while also rolling his eyes at Marcus, seemingly blaming him for starting the 2v3 trend.
Marcus returned an awkward smile: "It's not like I have three Pokemon..."
He couldn't help it... Because he really only had two...
"Buzz..."
Just as he finished speaking, a resonance of energy accompanied by milky white light shone from his arms.
"Hehe~ Now, there are three..."
A playful and gentle voice sounded in Marcus's mind. The next moment, the white light slowly dissipated, and a small, cute Pokemon appeared in his arms.
This was a Pokemon resembling a maid.
Most of her body was a lovely deep purple, while her face, neck, and the area from her chest to her thighs were mostly pure white, like a natural maid dress. Her slender arms ended in pure white hands, and her reddish-brown eyes paired with purplish-red triangular eyelashes. She had two large drooping horns on either side of her head, and two short little tails, one white and one purple, behind her hips.
"Indeedee~" The little cutie, less than half a meter tall upon hatching, let out a sweet cry and snuggled into Marcus's arms, gently acting spoiled.
Marcus's smile couldn't be contained, his heart melting: "This is... Indeedee?!"
[Indeedee ♀ lv1 (Beginner)]
Ability: Psychic Surge (Creates Psychic Terrain upon entering battle, increasing the power of Psychic-type moves by 30% and granting immunity to priority moves)
Talent: 422 (Species maximum 475)
HP: 60, Attack: 30, Defense: 60, Special Attack: 95, Special Defense: 80, Speed: 97
Affection: 180
Held Item: None
Moves:
Learned: Stored Power, Follow Me
Egg Moves: Fake Out, Extrasensory, Psych Up
Description: An Indeedee with excellent talent and a hidden ability. She is a highly intelligent Psychic-type Pokemon whose nature is to seek out joyful elements like pleasure and gratitude. Her hobby is taking care of people and Pokemon she likes. During the incubation period, she sensed care from her Trainer and is very fond of him.
Indeedee is a Pokemon that is absolutely excellent in both appearance and strength.
She is also one of Marcus's excellent choices for planning a Normal-type team.
Her hidden ability Psychic Surge provides a self-buff and immunity to priority effects. Stored Power perfectly fits into a Baton Pass system, and she also brings tactical options like Trick Room for speed control and Healing Wish to revive teammates.
Furthermore, as one of Nurse Joy's official standard Pokemon, Trainers who own Indeedee will also enjoy great convenience in daily life...
One could say that in battle, she is a versatile player; out of battle, she is a tailor-made maid!
This is evident from the fact that most people in high society choose her to look after children...
It can be said that this Pokemon egg truly gave Marcus a surprise!
He originally thought it would be something like Wyrdeer or Girafarig, but he didn't expect it to be Indeedee!
Marcus grinned, overjoyed.
"Indeedee~ (Want, drink milk...)"
"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right away~" Marcus placed the little one on his lap and fumbled to take out Moomoo Milk, adding gorgeous Pokeblocks to it.
Long before the little one was born, Marcus had already prepared specially made Pokeblocks for infancy.
Considering the tenderness of a newborn, he had also specifically added soft Pecha Berries as raw material.
"This Pokeblock looks really good..." Brock exclaimed.
Dawn's eyes lit up as she looked at the cute Indeedee: "This Pokemon is so cute, what's her name?"
Marcus smiled: "She is Indeedee, a Pokemon from the Galar region."
Then he looked at Brock and handed him a Pokeblock: "I made this specially, want to try it?"
"Thank you."
Brock took the Pokeblock and immediately popped it into his mouth to chew.
