Night had fallen.
A bonfire blazed in the open space of the pasture.
Natsume released the Delibirds, using the power of the Constant to gradually restore them.
“Your job from now on is to patrol the pasture, don't let any other wild Pokémon enter the fields,”
Natsume assigned tasks to the Delibirds.
“You can ask the Growlithe if you don't understand,”
“Woof~”
The Growlithe stepped forward proudly, puffing out its chest.
“Delibird,”
The Delibird leader stared at the Growlithe, seemingly unconvinced.
“Woof.”
Seeing this, the Growlithe walked in front of the Delibird, its eyes fixed on it.
The Delibird leader slowly bowed its head.
Natsume looked at the Delibird leader's data.
【Name: Delibird】
【Type: Dark/Fire】
【Level: lv15】
【Ability: Early Bird】
【Individual Value Potential: hp (30), Attack (21), Defense (22), Special Attack (30), Special Defense (25), Speed (28)】
【Moves: Leer, Ember, Howl, Smog, Bite, Roar, Flame Charge】
【Inherited Moves: Nasty Plot】
【Potential: Gym Level】
This Delibird's potential was Gym Level.
For Pokémon, this potential was already very good.
Raising a Pokémon's level wasn't easy.
A level 30 Pokémon was considered excellent among the Trainer community.
For ordinary people, a level 10 Pokémon was enough to threaten their lives.
“Rotom, let's all have some food together~,”
Rotom flew over at this moment, bringing Pokémon food for the Delibirds.
Wild Pokémon fought for territory, ultimately because of food.
Therefore, seeing the large amount of Pokémon food placed before them, the Delibirds couldn't help but feel a little restless.
Natsume said, “Eat up, it's all for you.”
After receiving confirmation from Natsume, the Delibirds immediately rushed forward.
“Natsume-san,”
Fang Kuo looked at Natsume, who was feeding the Delibirds, puzzled, “You're so strong, why don't you become a Trainer?”
Natsume glanced at him, “Do you want to be a Trainer?”
“Of course!”
Fang Kuo said with longing, “Become a professional Trainer, and then train powerful Pokémon.”
“Seas, deserts, skies, go wherever you want, how free it is?”
Natsume stroked the Minccino that had wrapped around him, “What do you mean?”
“Do you think my life is not free, or that my Pokémon aren't strong enough?”
Fang Kuo was instantly speechless, and quickly said, “I didn't mean that, I meant...”
Natsume smiled, “Just kidding, don't be nervous.”
“This world is wonderful, everyone can choose a different way of life.”
“But whether it's a farmer or a Trainer, I think the ultimate goal is the same.”
“Freedom, happiness.”
Natsume looked at Fang Kuo, “So, just live the way you want to live.”
Fang Kuo scratched his head while listening to Natsume's words, “But I'm very weak.”
“Can I really become a strong Trainer?”
Natsume took a skewer of grilled meat from the barbecue grill, looking at his own small patch of land, “Who knows.”
“But if I don't cultivate this land, it definitely won't grow any Wynaut Berries.”
Fang Kuo looked towards the field ahead, listening to Natsume's words.
Natsume's current farm wasn't big.
But it formed a sharp contrast to the surrounding chaotic wasteland.
A gentle breeze blew, and the young shoots in the field swayed neatly, full of life.
“Thank you!”
Fang Kuo suddenly felt that his future should be full of hope.
“I understand!”
Fang Kuo said seriously to Natsume, “I will continue to work hard!”
“Although I'm still weak now, one day, my Machop and I will become stronger!”
“Strong enough to cross the true wilderness on our own!”
“Machop~,”
Machop followed suit, flexing its muscles.
Looking at Fang Kuo whose eyes were shining brightly, Natsume suddenly felt like he was one of those mysterious figures from movies who specifically stabilized the protagonist's resolve.
Natsume smiled, “Good luck.”
“Pidgey~”
A Pidgey flew over from the night sky.
“I called my flying taxi.”
Fang Kuo waved a torch beside him at the sky.
The Pidgey landed.
“Natsume-san, I'm going back now.”
Fang Kuo opened the Pidgey's door and bid farewell to Natsume.
“Goodbye.”
The Pidgey carried Fang Kuo towards the moonlit sky.
“Growlithe,”
Natsume called out to the Growlithe.
“Woof~”
The Growlithe sat down in front of Natsume, happily chewing on its tail.
Natsume rubbed the Growlithe's fur vigorously, smiling, “Look, what's this?”
After saying that, a Fire Stone instantly appeared in Natsume's hand!
“Woof!”
The Growlithe's breathing instantly became rapid as it looked at the Fire Stone in Natsume's hand.
“Woof.”
The Growlithe looked at Natsume with pleading eyes.
Natsume said, “It's for you.”
“Evolve, Growlithe!”
Upon hearing this, the Growlithe immediately opened its mouth and bit the Fire Stone.
The moment the Growlithe and the Fire Stone made contact, intense Fire-type energy burst forth.
Flames and light surged from the Growlithe's body.
“Arcanine~,”
Arcanine immediately ran over from the field, witnessing the moment of its companion's evolution.
The Delibirds all looked over.
Their eyes were filled with longing.
“Woof~”
A loud howl echoed through the night!
【Prompt: Your Growlithe has evolved into Arcanine. 】
【Arcanine's level has risen to 25.】
【Arcanine automatically learned Extreme Speed, Play Rough, Flame Fang, Flare Blitz, Crunch, Last Resort, Helping Hand, Revenge, Take Down】
Arcanine was once hailed as a legendary Pokémon, and it wasn't just because of its majestic appearance.
Powerful strength, incredible speed.
The moment the Growlithe evolved into Arcanine, it immediately inherited and mastered the powerful moves from its ancestors that were embedded in its bloodline.
“Arcanine~,”
Arcanine happily called out, then beckoned to Arcanine.
Arcanine wanted to fight with Arcanine!
“Woof~”
Arcanine readily accepted the challenge!
In the open space!
“Whoosh!”
A column of flames erupted from Arcanine's mouth, blasting straight towards Arcanine.
“Arcanine~,”
Arcanine immediately used Rollout.
The curled-up Arcanine then launched a rolling attack towards Arcanine!
Arcanine rolled through the flames and charged towards Arcanine!
Slash!
Flame fangs appeared in Arcanine's mouth.
Flame Fang!
Boom~ Peng~
Smoke filled the air under the moonlight.
Beside the bonfire, Natsume waved the skewers in his hand and shouted loudly, “Go for it, Arcanine!”
“Go, Arcanine!”
“Jigglypuff~,”
Two Jigglypuff held hands and started a cheering dance.
“Delibird~Roar~
The Delibirds' howls rang out one after another.
