Although Lorze usually spent every day shamelessly engaging in sexual intercourse with his wives and always wore a lackadaisical appearance, as a dad, he still cared very much about his daughters' conditions. Recently, he had also begun to pay attention to whether it was time for the babies to learn to crawl.
Speaking of this matter, Lorze only discovered it after a fierce lovemaking session with his dragon younger sister, Latias.
Lorze, who entered Sage Mode after the sex ended, originally wanted to squat by the stroller and tease his daughter to play. But he happened to see Xiao Ya on the bed frequently trying to roll over, intentionally or unintentionally. This seemed to be a precursor and preparation for the baby entering the crawling stage?
Crawling, as the beginning of babies' independent mobility, also exercises body strength and muscles, laying a good foundation for subsequent standing, walking, and even running. It is undoubtedly a very important stage in infant development.
However, Lorze was a first-time dad after all, and he was also a bit unsure himself. So he told Indeedee about this matter to seek her opinion.
The little maid said thoughtfully that if it were an ordinary human baby, they probably still wouldn't be able to crawl much during this time period. But if it's the children of Master and the older sisters... perhaps we really could give it a try?
After all, these children simultaneously inherited the physiques of Lorze and their Pokémon moms. The physical fitness of Pokémon naturally goes without saying. As for this guy Lorze, he's practically a walking humanoid Pokémon; at the very least, he's much stronger than ordinary humans. In this case, the excellent genes of Dad and Mom will definitely give the daughters extremely outstanding physical fitness, and their development might also be faster. Things like crawling and walking, they might be able to master faster than ordinary human babies.
Thus, the several moms tried it one after another, placing their daughters in a prone position on the bed to observe their reactions. As a result, they discovered that the little ones indeed had some intention and thought of crawling!
Although they might not necessarily be able to crawl much of a distance, and might even just spin in place or scooch backwards—merely performing actions like lifting their heads or wriggling their bodies—the babies had undoubtedly begun learning to crawl.
The cute daughters continuously wriggling on the bed with various movements certainly made people happy, but Lorze started thinking about more long-term matters—
The moms' rooms will one day seem too narrow and cramped for the babies. Although the main hall of the treehouse is large, the space can't be considered open and flat. If the daughters crawl around here, it's very easy for them to bump into protrusions like the coffee table, so it's actually not very convenient for the babies' activities.
Since that's the case... why not simply renovate a specific area for the little ones to use for playing now and in the future, just like the designated children's play areas in shopping malls?
Although such considerations might be premature, Lorze's sense of responsibility still made him particularly attentive to his daughters' matters.
Since he had already planned to be a good dad, he naturally should provide his darlings with a family education full of love. In this case, accompanying his daughters through a complete childhood appeared exceptionally important—After all, situations in life are nothing more than using childhood to heal a lifetime, or using a lifetime to heal childhood. Lorze completely didn't hope the latter situation would happen to his own daughters, and presumably his wives thought the same.
For little kids, the most, most important things are playing and companionship. Growing up through play, learning through play. Giving them more tolerance and love, children are the most capable of feeling it and will respond to it. Punishment certainly must exist too, but in moderation is enough.
Returning to the matter of expansion and renovation, the more Lorze thought about it, the more he felt this approach had strong operability, and it was an urgent need right now. So after informing everyone and obtaining unanimous approval from the wives, Lorze started construction non-stop.
Therefore, the treehouse began to expand once again. The far-sighted Lorze planned to make a very spacious activity hall for the babies. The floor would also be paved with soft foam mats, so the floor would be neither hard nor cold, most suitable for the little ones to crawl around on.
As for the other designs... Lorze had to admit, he borrowed a bit from N's secret room in Pokémon Black/White—because of a twisted childhood, N's large room was truly excessively childlike. Fortunately, he had many babies, so it was very suitable to adopt it and make slight improvements to build a paradise for his daughters.
While renovating, Lorze was also thinking: He had already traveled through many regions in the Pokémon world, but he hadn't been to the Unova region, which served as his gaming enlightenment. Perhaps he could find an opportunity to take his wives on a tour there?
Not only the local customs and practices, but there are also many unique Pokémon that can only be encountered within Unova's borders. That's the real priority! For example, the sweet little songstress Meloetta, the cute V-kid Victini. These Psychic-type little loli Mythical Pokémon are very tempting, Lorze truly didn't want to miss them.
As for the "white moonlight" in the hearts of countless Pokémon players, Reshiram... that regional guardian deity, he wouldn't dare provoke casually. But what if, I mean what if? For example, the ravenously thirsty, lonely large female dragon forcefully demanding him to mount her or something... Lorze didn't dare think further.
Clearly he wasn't a virgin physically anymore, yet this guy's imagination was still so rich, as if he had no bottleneck period at all. At this moment, he also fantasized about scenes of himself lingering affectionately and intertwining with beautiful female Pokémon. He giggled lecherously with a face full of intoxication, just short of drooling from the corners of his mouth!
"Honey, why is your mind wandering... what are you thinking about?"
A delicate jade hand rested on the young man's shoulder. The inquiry from Mewtwo beside him made Lorze jolt his robust body and wake up from his sweet dream, feeling a burst of shyness for daydreaming in broad daylight.
"Ah, ah, nothing! It's nothing..."
Facing Lorze's pale and stuttering response, Mewtwo rolled her eyes, seemingly already having a scale (judgment) in her heart.
"Is that so? Uh hmph hmph~"
A smile that completely saw through Lorze's thoughts appeared on her face, but she merely reached out and gently stroked Lorze's head. This feeling of seeing through but not pointing it out conversely made Lorze even more embarrassed. He also stopped thinking about that boundless tenderness, merely focusing on the matter at hand, throwing himself wholeheartedly into the renovation of the room—of course, it was also completed by controlling robots. These things are truly too convenient; the technology of the Pokémon world is terrifyingly powerful!
The small predicament just now was quickly thrown out of his mind. I must say, Lorze's work efficiency after getting into the zone was truly not low. In three moves and five divisions by two (very quickly and neatly), he finished the prototype of his daughters' activity venue. After that were some fine-tuning of details... Lorze held his breath and finished it all in one go. When it was finally completed, from start to finish it was no more than three or four hours. The progress could be described as incredibly rapid.
Things like the foam mats were left to the wives to handle. The high-intensity operation and prolonged concentration also made Lorze exhausted enough; he was currently sitting to the side resting.
However, looking at such a childlike and spacious room, Lorze wiped the sweat from his forehead and revealed a satisfied smile. Since it's for the babies, being tired for this afternoon is also worth it!
He also thought that when the daughters got a bit older, he could build some entertainment facilities outside the treehouse, like slides, seesaws, and the like. With so many precious daughters, it will definitely be very lively when the time comes, right? A wife and children, so perfectly happy, it's truly very blissful~
As soon as the daughters' activity hall was built, it was put to use immediately. The moms were all very happy to come over here, put the babies on the floor, and let them practice crawling themselves.
This way not only consumes the darlings' physical stamina, making them sleep sounder at night, but the sisters can also talk and chat with each other so it won't seem very boring. It satisfies both the need to take care of the kids and the need for socializing; it's truly a method that achieves the best of both worlds.
The daughters were all very intelligent. From flailing their arms and legs around like headless flies at the beginning, they slowly started to look the part. However, they still crawled a bit clumsily. Either they used their little bellies to stick to the mat and crawl forward (army crawl), or they used their arms to drag their bodies (bear crawl).
Moreover, compared to crawling forward, the little guys seemed more accustomed to "reversing". Lorze also didn't quite understand the principle behind this. Just from experience, it seems they always learn to scooch backwards first, and only then slowly begin to crawl forward.
But among them, there was always one daughter who was different from the others. While the other babies were still wriggling in place, she could already manage to crawl all over the floor with "swish swish swish" speed!
This was exactly the eldest daughter, Ah Meng, who had always been viewed by Dad and Mom as exceptionally gifted. From her birth until now, this little guy had truly brought them too many surprises.
Compared to her younger sisters, Ah Meng was truly too amazing. Just two days after starting to practice crawling, she could manage to crawl around using both hands and knees—This didn't look like the advantage brought by being born a few days earlier; her lead was truly too vast.
Moreover, Ah Meng's four limbs were very coordinated, her movements were very smooth, and she crawled especially, especially fast. Perhaps it was because she inherited Big Sister Mewtwo's developed nervous system?
There was even one time, the crawling Ah Meng suddenly babbled "yiya" and stood up! This truly startled Indeedee and the moms present!
But actually, she fundamentally hadn't reached the time to be able to stand and walk. The instant she stood up, she wobbled and was about to fall again. Fortunately, Dad caught her in time, otherwise she definitely would have cried loudly if she took a tumble.
However, a baby not even ten months old being able to stand up... how exactly was this done?
Mewtwo, whose perception of telekinesis was extremely sharp, actually discovered some clues. It seemed because Ah Meng mobilized a tiny bit of telekinesis for assistance, she suddenly possessed power she shouldn't have at this age!
But just as mentioned earlier, the time hadn't come yet. Not just because of physical development reasons, Ah Meng also couldn't use her telekinesis proficiently. That's why the flash-in-the-pan scene just now occurred. But even so, Ah Meng's talent still couldn't be denied.
Since the moms were all Psychic-type Pokémon, it seemed beyond reproach for the daughters to inherit some telekinesis. In fact, Mewtwo indeed more or less perceived the existence of telekinesis from her younger sisters' daughters.
It's just that right now, besides Ah Meng, none of them had shown signs of using it. It's possible they didn't even know they possessed this power, or they knew but couldn't find a way to use it. However, if they studied devotedly in the future, presumably they could also achieve quite high accomplishments on this path. Even... "indigo blue is extracted from the indigo plant but is bluer than the plant it comes from" (the student surpasses the master); they might even be more amazing than their mothers, who knows?
Daughters being more amazing than themselves, in their eyes, was something to be very proud of.
However, there was also one outlier among them, and that was Xiao Suo. Xiao Suo's mom, Absol, is a Dark-type. Although Dad Lorze is a practitioner of telekinesis, the two conflicting powers somewhat hindered the inheritance. And because Dark-type is super effective against Psychic-type, in the end, Xiao Suo's power seemed to inherit more from Mom. The part inherited from Dad could only be reflected in her appearance.
Although slightly declining in the aspect of telekinesis, it couldn't stop Xiao Suo's own physical fitness from being very good—in fact, her size was slightly sturdier than the eldest sister Ah Meng, who was born first. Therefore, her learning to crawl was the second fastest, and more solid. Especially seeing her crawling around generating wind with the sickle-like small horn on top of her head also made people feel very happy.
After a period of time, by the time Gardevoir's daughters could all crawl decently, there were still differences between daughter and daughter. Ah Meng and Xiao Suo were the most lively. Xiao Suo followed behind Ah Meng's butt crawling around like a little sidekick. And Ah Meng even gradually began to hold onto things to practice standing; the speed of her learning progress made one click their tongue in astonishment.
In comparison, over on Gardevoir's side was another scene entirely. Little Duo still continued her usual lazy state, always looking as if she were half a beat slower. Half a day would pass before she wriggled once. Most of the time, she just flailed her little feet, looking half-asleep.
However, if Lorze approached, little Duo would also very happily rub against the ground and crawl towards her dad. At this time, Lorze would dotingly pick up little Duo and kiss her, and the latter would let out endearing "yiya" laughs.
Did he and the sexy beauty Gardevoir give birth to a silly and cute daughter? This is also quite nice~
Just as Lorze was holding little Duo and teasing his daughter to make her happy, his feet suddenly felt heavy. Looking down, it was actually Ah Meng who had crawled over at the speed of light!
He saw Ah Meng's chubby little hands hugging Lorze's ankle, looking up eagerly at Lorze. Is this... getting jealous?
How could Lorze bear to give Ah Meng the cold shoulder? He simply picked up his eldest daughter too. One in each hand, double the happiness!
Both daughters extended their fair, tender small hands to touch Dad's face. They touched Lorze until he felt very ticklish, but he didn't reject his darlings' affection in the slightest.
Five or six months had passed since they were born. Whether it was Ah Meng or little Duo, Xiao Suo, or Xiao Ya, they could all already crawl on the bed and floor.
The daughters, full of curiosity about this world, always crawled around very actively. The babies' activity room was always lively and bustling. Moreover, as the later-born daughters grew older, more and more babies and moms came here to play. This place was truly built with value exceeding its cost!
Furthermore, the moms frequently took photos of their daughters playing and sent them to the group chat, like how they made progress today and so on. The emotion of joy overflowed from the screen.
Watching his wives and babies playing happily, Lorze also felt very emotional: This is not only the room where the daughters crawl all over the floor, but also the place engraving the marks of their growth. Perhaps in the future... they can leave even more beautiful memories here.
