A gentle force emanated from Shi Yi's hand.
This was the Ever Grandeur Power.
The Ever Grandeur Power had healing properties and could also soothe the emotions of Pokémon.
Moreover, it could read the thoughts of Pokémon and build a closer relationship with them.
As this gentle force poured into the Togepi's body.
The Togepi's hostility towards Shi Yi vanished completely.
“Ruu~ ”
Looking at the Togepi's worried eyes.
Shi Yi smiled gently, "Don't worry, your mother is fine, she just fell asleep."
“Ruu~ ”
The Togepi seemed to be asking... Is that true?
“Really, the Butterfree just used Sleep Powder earlier."
"I just saw your mother was too worried, so I had Butterfree use Sleep Powder to calm her down."
“Alright, tell me, why was she in such a rush?”
Shi Yi asked the Togepi.
“Ruu~ Ruu…”
Togepi couldn’t lie at all, it expressed everything it thought directly.
With the Ever Grandeur Power's sensing ability, Shi Yi roughly understood what Togepi was saying.
“Apparently, when it woke up this morning, Togepi didn't see its other child... which is the Dratini, and it panicked.
But in fact, Dratini snuck out to play when it was still dawn.
It's a very playful child, unlike Togepi, it can’t stay still.”
“So, do you know where Dratini is now? Let’s go get it back, otherwise, your mother will be worried again when she wakes up.”
Shi Yi gently persuaded.
“Ruu~~”
The Togepi nodded and got off Togepi's mother.
It glanced at its mother with some reluctance, then turned and led the way.
Shi Yi and Butterfree followed behind Togepi.
Its steps were slow, it walked for a long, long time before reaching the fishing ground nearby.
Of course.
It was an abandoned fishing ground.
This area was a forbidden zone in the Xi Xi Wetland Secret Realm, and no one had entered for many years.
“Ruu~~~~”
Once they got here.
Togepi began shouting towards the lake.
Its voice wasn’t loud, but it was quite shrill.
Under its shout, the surface of the lake trembled.
Waves of ripples appeared.
In an instant.
A head popped up from the center of the ripples.
A round head with two white fins.
Purple eyes and a white dot on its forehead.
It was Dratini!
“Holy crap! It's Dratini!”
Even though Shi Yi had already seen Lin Feng's opportunity, he knew that there was Dratini in the Xi Xi Wetland Secret Realm.
But when he saw it with his own eyes.
The sense of awe was still overwhelming.
Suddenly.
Shi Yi activated his Appraisal Eye and scanned the Dratini in front of him.
A set of data appeared on the data panel.
【Pokémon: Dratini (♂)】
【Level: 10 (Beginner Peak)】
【Type: Dragon】

……
“Champion-level Dratini？！No wonder it’s a golden opportunity… Awesome!”
Shi Yi's heart surged.
On the side, Togepi was urgently shouting at Dratini.
As if asking Dratini to come over.
“Fwu?”
Dratini was a little confused.
Why was its best friend with a stranger?
With a wary gaze, Dratini swam to the shore.
When Dratini came out of the water.
Shi Yi saw that its full body length had reached nearly 1.5 meters?!
You know.
Adult Dratini are only about 1.8 meters long.
From this perspective, this Dratini’s growth should be considered quite good?
Just... is Togepi’s pouch that big?
Could it fit a 1.5-meter-long Dratini?
Perhaps it was because the pouch was too narrow, that’s why Dratini ran away... pfft! Thinking of this, Shi Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Dratini, nice to meet you.”
Shi Yi squatted down and greeted the Dratini in front of him.
Dratini curiously looked up and down at Shi Yi.
In the Xi Xi Wetland Secret Realm, there was no shortage of humans.
However.
Togepi’s mother always taught it to never get close to those humans, otherwise, it would be captured.
This led to the fact that Dratini had never interacted with any humans.
“Fwu…”
Dratini raised its long neck and looked at Shi Yi, a thousand ripples seemed to appear in its heart.
Through the Ever Grandeur Power, Shi Yi could sense the complex emotions in Dratini's heart.
It seemed to be full of curiosity about Shi Yi, full of curiosity about the outside world, yet… it didn't dare to ask.
Seeing this, Shi Yi.
Took the initiative to reach out and touch Dratini’s head.
Dratini was startled by Shi Yi’s little action.
But it didn’t back away.
The gentle force coming from Shi Yi’s hand made Dratini feel very comfortable and intimate… just like the feeling Togepi’s mother gave it.
“Fwu?”
Dratini tilted its head, as if asking Shi Yi, who are you?
“Dratini, my name is Shi Yi, I’m a new trainer.”
“I came to the Xi Xi Wetland Secret Realm to find my partner, and we will travel, adventure, battle, and see this vast world together.”
“Are you willing to be my starting partner, Dratini?”
Shi Yi extended a sincere invitation to Dratini.
At this moment, Dratini’s heart was moved.
Dratini, who had always longed to leave this forbidden zone and go to the outside world, had longing in its eyes.
“Ruu!”
At this moment.
Togepi on the ground got anxious.
It didn't know what Shi Yi and Dratini were plotting.
Its Togepi mother was still sleeping on the ground!
“Fwu!”
Dratini only then remembered... Togepi was looking for it for something.
Hearing Togepi’s account, Dratini only then realized... it had made a mistake again.
Suddenly running out had made Togepi's mother angry again.
Also, if it followed this human, Togepi’s mother would be sad.
It would be separated from Togepi's mother.
Just thinking about it, Dratini hesitated.
Shi Yi sensed Dratini’s thoughts.
He smiled, "Then let’s leave together!”
“Fwu?”
“Ruu?”
Dratini and Togepi both looked at Shi Yi.
Is that even possible?
“I will go talk to Togepi, if she's willing to leave with me, you two can leave with me! How about that?”
“Fwu!”
“Ruu!”
The two little guys nodded at the same time.
