Chapter 108: A Confession??
These Pokémon were initially a bit dazed, unsure of what had happened. But when they noticed Kenji, a stranger, they immediately became wary, emitting low growls.
"Your Pokéballs have been destroyed. You're free now. You can leave," Kenji said lightly, pointing to the charred remains of the Pokéballs on the ground.
Hearing Kenji's words, the Pokémon paused, looking at the piles of black ash on the ground.
After a brief silence, a Liepard took the lead and turned away. The other Pokémon soon followed.
To Team R, these Pokémon were nothing more than tools. Being tools, they naturally had little affection for their masters.
With the help of Ninetales and Beedrill, Kenji had easily dealt with Team R's tails. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go," Kenji said, patting Ninetales.
Then he paused, looking at Ninetales, and coughed lightly. "By the way... could you change back to your original form and let me ride you for a bit?"
As soon as Kenji finished speaking, Ninetales looked at him with a strange expression. Then, her gaze shifted to the Liepard that hadn't had time to leave yet.
"Lie..."
One of the Liepards met Ninetales's gaze and suddenly gulped, a bad feeling rising in its heart...
...
After traveling for about an hour, Kenji finally arrived near a lake.
Kenji dismounted from the Liepard and patted its head. "Thanks for your hard work."
"Lie..."
Liepard growled low. Kenji handed it a handful of Pokéblocks he had prepared.
"LIEEE!!!—"
Liepard's eyes suddenly lit up, and it let out an excited howl.
Holy crap, bro! Even a wild kid like me gets to eat the city stuff!
Following Team R, Liepard usually ate Basic-grade Pokéblocks, occasionally getting a bite of Mid-grade.
It had never eaten High-grade Pokéblocks, this kind of luxury good.
Seeing Liepard's reaction, Kenji smiled. He gave it another handful, then gave two handfuls to the other Liepard that had carried Ninetales and Bellossom.
After feeding them, he clapped his hands. "Alright, you can go."
He turned and walked toward the lake. The two Liepards reluctantly turned and disappeared into the bushes.
Sending the two Liepards away, Kenji took out his remaining Pokéballs.
"Come on out!"
"POP! POP! POP!!—"
A series of sounds rang out as the Pokéballs opened, and the Pokémon emerged.
Gyarados flew into the lake, while Arbok and Pupitar landed on the ground.
As for Bellossom, it was already being held by Ninetales.
Kenji prepared lunch for his Pokémon.
The scenery by the lake was pleasant. Kenji wasn't in a hurry to travel, so he continued to attempt Mega Evolution with Beedrill.
Kenji felt that there was always just a tiny bit missing between him and Beedrill.
It was like a thin membrane separating them.
As long as he could pierce that membrane, Mega Evolution should succeed.
But Kenji currently had no clue how to pierce it.
Kenji chewed on his bread, thinking, while scrolling through the screen on his device with his other hand.
Kenji's destination was the nearest Red Zone.
According to the markings for this Red Zone, three Pokémon species resided there.
To survive in a territory with Dominant Pokémon, the strength of these three groups must be comparable.
The three groups were the Oshawott line led by a Samurott, the Seedot line led by a Shiftry, and the Slakoth line led by a Vigoroth.
As for why the other two were led by their final evolutions while the Slakoth line was led by the second-stage Vigoroth...
That was naturally because, aside from the second-stage Vigoroth, both the first stage and the final evolution were absolute lazybones.
Slakoth needed no introduction; it was a wondrous Pokémon too lazy to even beat its own heart more than necessary. Eating three leaves was enough to fuel its movement for a day.
And the final evolution, Slaking, truly gained muscle just by lying down.
For a Slaking to laze its way into becoming a Dominant-level Pokémon... that talent was ridiculous.
A so-called Dominant-level Pokémon needed to meet two conditions.
First condition: To be a Dominant, it naturally had to be the strongest of its species in the area.
Second condition: Its level had to be above 70.
Kenji's main goal in heading to the Red Zone this time was to see if there were any Slakoth with suitable potential.
If there was a Slakoth with suitable potential, Kenji wouldn't mind catching one.
Besides, while browsing the Gold Shop earlier, Kenji had found a piece of equipment that was incredibly suitable for Slaking...
"Scraggy..."
Just as Kenji was focusing on the map, a small, yellow creature emerged from an unnoticed corner. It held up its "pants" with one hand and clutched a bouquet of small yellow flowers in the other.
Hearing the sudden cry, Kenji snapped out of his thoughts and noticed the unexpected arrival.
The little guy trotted over, one hand holding its pants, the other holding flowers. It looked quite comical.
Kenji looked at the newcomer with a strange expression. With that posture... is it going to confess its love??!
And the object of its affection... if nothing unexpected happened, should be Bellossom.
Seeing this, Pupitar was the first to lose its cool, looking ready to charge and smash this interloper.
But before Pupitar could start its charge, the little guy ran right past Bellossom without stopping, heading straight behind her.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the little guy stopped in front of Gyarados in the water. With hearts in its eyes, it dropped to one knee and held out the small yellow flowers to Gyarados.
"SCRAGGY!!!"
