Naruto: As Rasa

Chapter 9: Hatching New Beginnings



Sunagakure, Third Kazekage Manor.

"Yumi…" Rasa whispered as he activated his system.

"I am here," came the prompt reply.

"Retrieve two Pokémon Eggs."

"Ding, two Pokémon Eggs have been extracted," the system announced.

Before him, two pristine white eggs rested securely in the Pokémon Incubator. One egg's surface was delicately dotted with light-brown circles, while the other bore dark-brown, wavy stripes. Rasa carefully opened a Pokémon device and cradled the egg with the light-brown pattern.

In his gentle grasp, the egg began to tremble ever so slightly—a tremor that grew steadily as he sensed a powerful, vibrant life force stirring within. Soon, the egg emanated a soft glow, reminiscent of the first tender rays of dawn. The light gradually intensified, bathing his hand and the room in a warm radiance without being harsh. Rasa's eyes widened in anticipation as he felt a formidable energy coalescing inside.

Then, a fine crack appeared along the egg's surface. The fissure quickly widened, and amidst a burst of dazzling light, a small, mysterious Pokémon emerged—it was Larvitar!

Larvitar's body was a muted gray, adorned with red diamond-shaped markings on its belly. With its round form, stubby little arms and tail, and a thick, pointed horn on its head, the newborn exuded an endearingly awkward charm. Disoriented by the sudden brightness, Larvitar blinked, rubbed its eyes with its tiny arms, and then peered up at Rasa with wide, curious eyes. In a soft, tentative cry—"Larvitar…"—it called out, its voice barely a whisper.

A tender smile spread across Rasa's face—a mix of delight, curiosity, and overwhelming paternal warmth. He gently pinched the soft, pliable horn atop Larvitar's head; he knew that once the early stage passed, that horn would harden. He then playfully pinched Larvitar's little arms. In response, the tiny Pokémon stretched them out as if pleading for a hug, its eyes glistening with innocent affection.

Unable to contain his joy, Rasa scooped the little creature into his arms, marveling at how light it felt—likely because it hadn't yet begun to feast on minerals. After a few moments of contented warmth, Larvitar nuzzled against his chest before wriggling free to begin nibbling on its eggshell.

Curious, Rasa checked Larvitar's data on his system:

Name: Larvitar

Gender: Male

Type: Rock / Ground

Ability: Sand Hide

Level: LV1

Individual Values: HP 31, Atk 31, Def 31, Sp. Atk 31, Sp. Def 31, Speed 31

Moves: Tackle, Leer, Dragon Dance (inherited)

Rasa's heart skipped a beat—such perfect individual values were a once-in-a-century occurrence. And remarkably, Larvitar had inherited Dragon Dance! In this system, that was the only way for its evolutionary line to learn the move—a potential game-changer in battle. Imagining the future possibilities, a mischievous grin tugged at his lips.

"Train hard, little one—grow strong and fast!" he murmured, already devising a rigorous training plan.

After ensuring Larvitar was content, Rasa turned back to the incubator and retrieved the second egg. Much like the first, this egg began to tremble and emit a soft glow. After about five minutes, a gentle "crack" echoed through the quiet room. From the fissures, a small, rock-like Pokémon emerged—it was Roggenrola!

Roggenrola's body was a marvel of natural architecture: its form resembled a living boulder composed entirely of smooth, symmetrical hexagonal facets. A central hexagon served as its solitary, unblinking eye. As Roggenrola's eye slowly opened, it fixed a steady gaze on Rasa, unmoving yet full of quiet determination.

Unlike the soft, malleable Larvitar, Roggenrola was as hard as stone—a testament to its status as a mantle Pokémon, its body forged from mineral matter. After a moment's hesitation, Roggenrola wavered slightly and then began nibbling delicately at its eggshell, displaying a calm, methodical temperament.

Rasa examined Roggenrola's Pokémon data panel on his system:

Name: Roggenrola

Gender: Female

Type: Rock

Ability: Sand Raise

Level: LV1

Individual Values: (All stats at base level)

Moves: Tackle, Harden

A sense of quiet satisfaction filled him. These two new companions—one brimming with explosive potential and the other steady as the earth—would become the foundation of his vision for Sunagakure's future.

With gentle care, Rasa secured Larvitar in a Luxury Ball, ensuring it would have a comfortable home. Then, having admired Roggenrola's unyielding resolve, he prepared to continue his day. The Pokémon he'd just hatched would soon be the village's greatest secret weapon—a cornerstone in his ambitious plan to transform Sunagakure.

Rasa then examined the data on his system, his eyes fixed on the stats of his newly hatched Pokémon. The display read:

Level: LV1

IV: 4 (HP 31, Attack 31, Defense 31, Sp. Atk 1, Sp. Def 31, Speed 15)

Moves: Sand Attack, Tackle, Wide Guard (inherited)

An impressed intake of breath escaped him. "Amazing!" he murmured."Yumi!" Rasa immediately called out to his AI assistant."I am here," came the prompt reply."What's going on? Both of these Pokémon have such high IVs," he exclaimed."Ding: Pokémon Eggs obtained through the system have IV thresholds between 3 and 6," Yumi explained."No wonder the eggs in the shop sell for so much—this makes perfect sense," Rasa mused. If the system-produced Pokémon were equivalent to their wild counterparts, then when he later upgrades his Pokémon Habitat, he could venture out and catch wild Pokémon instead of always buying eggs and paying the system a cut."Ding: Statistically speaking, for most Pokémon species, 90% have 0 IV; 1 IV appears in roughly 1 out of 10 individuals; 2 IV, in 1 out of 100; and so on—6 IV Pokémon occur at a rate of about 1 in 1,000,000," Yumi continued.A 6 IV Pokémon, Rasa realized, was naturally the champion of its species. For white-quality Pokémon like Beedrill and Butterfree, the chance of a 6 IV specimen was even lower—perhaps 1 in 100 million. In contrast, orange-quality Pokémon such as Tyranitar and Dragonite had higher odds, around 1 in 10,000.Yet, when considering breeding over time—whether it's Beedrill, Pidgey, the Starter species, or even pseudo-divine types—it takes a century to produce a single 6 IV Pokémon. White-quality Pokémon breed prolifically, while powerful pseudo-divine Pokémon have very limited breeding capabilities. In a hundred years, Beedrill might produce hundreds of millions of offspring, whereas Dragonite might not even reach ten thousand.Thus, the world is both just and unjust. A 6 IV Rattata, no matter how hard it trains, might never match even a lackadaisical 6 IV pseudo-divine Pokémon—and might even lose to a 5 IV pseudo-divine.With Yumi by his side, Rasa's confidence swelled. He vowed to usher in a revolutionary change—starting from Sunagakure, he would conquer the ninja world and transform it forever!
