[Who's this Hitmonchan? Seems close to Su Feng.]
[If Su Feng hasn't been back since his early streams, this might be his old Tyrogue!]
[Ohhh! Forgot Tyrogue evolves into Hitmonchan!]
[Dude grew a whole meter in months?!]
[Teach me your height hacks!]
[Step 1: Evolve.]
Su Feng had previously updated the Pokédex, revealing Tyrogue's rare triple-evolution paths: Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and the still-unseen Hitmontop.
But back to the present—
"Hitmon. (Cover your ears, Mr. Su.)" Hitmonchan grinned.
Confused but compliant, Su Feng obeyed.
"HITMON!"
The bellow sent a flock of Pidgey scattering from distant trees. Within minutes, the boxer's family arrived:
A muscular Machamp (wife)
Five baby Machops (kids)
Su Feng's eye twitched. Well... you've got unique taste, buddy.
"Hitmon. (Meet my family.)" Hitmonchan beamed. "Hitmon. (Kids, say hello.)"
"Machop! (Hello, Uncle Su Feng! ×5)"
Su Feng distributed five tins of Protein Pokéblocks from his "backpack." "One per day. These pack a punch."
The Machops cheered, their politeness a credit to their parents. Hitmonchan cradled his youngest—his only daughter—like royalty. In this forest, he was king, and she was the princess.
"Hitmon. (I need to stay with them.)"
Su Feng nodded. He understood.
Meanwhile, the Camp Crew Arrives
Xiao Da blinked at the scene. "Are those... Hitmonchan's kids?!"
[WAIT WHAT?!]
[MY MAN WENT FROM BABY TO DAD IN MONTHS?!]
[Me, single: existential crisis]
The girls cooed over the Machops (who, despite being infants, could already bench-press adults). Machamp watched fondly—no concerns about safety with these humans.
Then Su Feng had an idea.
"Hitmonchan, could your kids act as bodyguards? For the trainees without Pokémon?"
After consulting Machamp, Hitmonchan agreed—with conditions:
Forest Pokémon knew better than to attack his lineage.
His sons needed real combat experience.
"Four trainees," Su Feng confirmed.
With Machops as shields, the humans could safely explore. If danger struck, Blaziken or Gengar would intervene within 60 seconds (range: 3km).
