“Zeraora! I’ve never heard of anyone needing to be hospitalized for giving birth on Zou Island. Aren’t you being overly cautious?”
At the top floor of the Beasts Pirates’ Pokémon Center, in the special care ward, Zeraora had shifted Setsuna here because her due date was approaching. However, Setsuna felt that he was making too much fuss. She can still use a bow to hunt down Sea Kings in the sea; she wasn’t that weak.
Moreover, whether during her childhood on Zou Island or when she returned to visit her family, the women of Zou Island continued working normally when pregnant, without any issues affecting their work due to pregnancy.
As for hospitalization, it was even more unnecessary; typically, doctors were only involved during delivery.
Her current strength made her the strongest Mink on Zou Island, and she felt this treatment was completely unnecessary.
“Be good, just a few more days, and I’ll take you to play in the South Blue afterwards.”
Zeraora didn’t argue; instead, choosing to tempt her, showing no intention of changing his mind.
Setsuna had no way to deal with this because even at this critical juncture, Hachi had betrayed her, seeing no harm in moving here early on.
“Moo~~!”
The sound of an elephant’s cry came from afar. Through the top-floor window, one could still see Zunesha’s silhouette, its aura connected to Setsuna’s aura.
“Even you know, huh…”
As a Mink capable of communicating with Zunesha, Setsuna even received blessings from Zunesha, who had been lingering nearby for quite some time.
Ever since Hitsugisukan’s check-up, it had been circling nearby. If not for concerns about blocking sunlight, it could stand in one place for months without moving.
Miyagi was the only doctor among the Minks, but he had several assistants, including some female Minks, used to handle situations he couldn’t step in, like childbirth.
The medical facilities at the Beasts Pirates’ Pokémon Center were quite advanced, and they also have an experienced obstetrics team. However, Zeraora still reached out to the Mink nurses due to her being a Mink.
…
Time flew by. According to the doctors’ estimates, Setsuna’s delivery date was due in the next two days. This made Zeraora even more nervous, eventually being kicked out by Setsuna because his presence here was causing inconvenience.
He knew there wouldn’t be any major problems, but he still felt restless. In the end, he just flew to Onigashima.
“My lord, are you there?”
“Haven’t you noticed me already, Zeraora? You’re too nervous; there’s no need to worry so much.”
Two orbs of light then flew into Zeraora’s hands.
“I won’t go there. If I do, you won’t be able to relax. These are blessings for your children. It has no other effect, but it can ensure that they grow up safely. As for the rest, we’ll talk about it when they’re older.”
Using their power to enhance the bodies of two children, enabling them to grow up healthier, that’s the effect of these two orbs. It was scientific yet beyond science, perhaps the culmination of science merging with theology.
“Thank you for your blessings, but I have a question. What will these two children be, exactly?”
This was a point even Zeraora couldn’t figure out; he didn’t know if his children would be like him or like Setsuna.
“Neither. They will be two very special individuals.”
According to Arceus’s speculation, Setsuna and Zeraora’s children would neither be pure Minks nor Pokémon; they would be two very special individuals.
In the Pokémon world, there are Psychics, and this power was hereditary within families. This meant the power existed in their bloodline.
Historical records mentioned instances of marriages between Pokémon and humans, suggesting that humans in that world were a special type of Pokémon. From this, it could be inferred that their children inherited some Pokémon powers.
Not counting the widely recognized Power of Viridian, Psychic powers and Power of Aura are common abilities among Pokémon. It just so happens that Pokémon that possess both of these powers are also humanoid Pokémon.
So these Psychics likely derive their abilities from their ancestors’ Pokémon bloodline. These hidden genes are concealed within their bloodline, awakening at specific times.
While there’s the example of Elizabeth, she’s a special case of parthenogenesis, which resulted in Sobble’s birth.
Setsuna and Zeraora are both very unique. Setsuna is a person with Pokémon ability, but she is fundamentally still a Mink. Although she underwent direct modification, it doesn’t mean she became a Lucario.
The fact that they observed a fetus rather than an egg during the prenatal check-ups already confirms this point.
Compared to this ability, inheriting the Power of Aura seems even much more likely.
Zeraora is also a Pokémon which underwent modification, so their combination would result in a fascinating reaction.
In theory, these two children will be special Mink, inheriting Zeraora’s Power of “Electricity” and Setsuna’s Power of Aura, making them be akin to Mink “Psychic” rather than Pokémon.
“Is that so…”
“Zeraora, you should go now.”
“My lord, do you mean…?”
“I can sense the imminent arrival of life, your children are about to be born..”
Before he had even finished speaking, Zeraora transformed into a lightning bolt and vanished.
At the Beasts Pirates’ Pokémon Center, things happened suddenly. Just a few minutes after Zeraora left, Setsuna felt a wave of pain in the stomach and was rushed into the delivery room.
“Where’s Zeraora?!”
Zeraora had been nearby all this time; just a shout and he’d appear within seconds, almost like teleportation. But at the critical moment, he was nowhere to be seen.
“Just now, Setsuna felt he was getting in the way, so she asked him to go out and calm down.”
“Wait, I’ll call the brother-in-law.”
Just as Wanda took out her Den Den Mushi, Zeraora jumped in through the window. In a hurry, he had no time to use the door.
“What’s the situation?”
No one questioned where he had just been; they just pointed to the closed door. They were looking for Zeraora not because they were worried about something happening. In fact, aside from Zeraora, no one thought anything unexpected would happen.
The strength of the mother’s body influences the situation during childbirth; theoretically, weaker individuals are more likely to face complications. Charlotte Linlin could give birth to ten children today and get ready to fight with her Homies the next day.
Setsuna can’t be compared to Charlotte Linlin, but she is still a strong expert, not to mention there were numerous equipment and doctors ready to assist her.
Nothing strange happened; in just 15 minutes, the door reopened, and a Mink nurse walked out carrying two babies.
“Congratulations, it’s a boy and girl.”
The distinct features of the infants in the swaddle could be clearly seen. The brother inherited Setsuna’s bloodline, resembling a wolf, while the sister was influenced by Zeraora, a cute kitten…
