The powerful physiques of the Pokémon were fully displayed at this moment.
He only paid some attention to the Pokémon he could use.
For example, like Snorlax and Mudsdale, and the Turtonator that was "convinced" not long ago.
The rest were sent away from this Alternate Space, sold, exchanged for resources, or released as needed.
As for those Pokémon previously captured and prepared for domestication, such as Abomasnow, Vanilluxe, and Cherrim.
Before he entered this Alternate Space for the trial, they were placed in a forest near Celestial Crown Mountain outside Shenhe Town, guarded by Froslass, with Cherrim overseeing them willingly, alongside a small piece of the Thousand-Year Ice that Natsuhiko specifically brought. They were not willing to leave that forest.
Pidgeotto and Shuckle were also in that forest.
Managed to make a habit of clearing the backpack before entering the Alternate Space.
And during the capture in Groudon's Alternate Space.
For example, Salazzle and Salandit were released batch by batch, allowing them to find food in this environment rich in Fire Energy to solve their sustenance issues.
Mudsdale and others have strong endurance by themselves, and eating grass once in a few days would suffice.
Houndoom and Pyroar were only recently captured today, so leaving the Alternate Space even without meals won't pose any problems, occasionally throwing some Pokemon Food into the Pokeball is enough to maintain their survival.
And for creatures like Excadrill, Darmanitan, Hoshino Ryosaki's Sandstorm Team, and Onix, it's the same.
The other Pokémon confiscated from members of the Magma Team...
Apologies, Natsuhiko didn't confiscate any Pokémon, all were thrown to the Death God Coffin.
These Pokémon had seen his face, and although the chance of being tracked is low, Natsuhiko didn't want to take risks.
Therefore, even though he seemed to have a lot of Pokémon, the ones he truly had to take responsibility for feeding were just a few.
Four main Pokémon, Gourmet King Snorlax, the little eater Cherrim, Sharpedo, Tyrantrum, Mudsdale, Yanmega, Turtonator that needed to be kept on hand, Barbaracle, the Noivern couple.
As well as the often invisible Dragapult.
Nowadays, it rarely shows up even for meals, only appearing when Natsuhiko needs it.
By the way.
The recently acquired Centiskorch, a resilient Insect-type Pokémon, probably wouldn't have a problem even if it went hungry for ten days or half a month.
The advantage of capturing Wild Pokémon is... going hungry for a few meals doesn't make much of a difference.
Otherwise, organizations like the Hunter Guild that capture Pokémon on a large scale face huge expenses just to feed them.
If the Pokémon are kept without being sold for a long time, the consumption becomes even larger.
In the end, the only ones that give him dietary pressure are Snorlax and Dragapult, the others are minor issues.
Arranging food for the Pokémon as well.
And the enticing fragrance of the Energy Block undoubtedly caught the attention of the Blazing Beast group, including the Chimchar chatting with Togetic.
"Togetic!"
Togetic then realized, pulling Chimchar over to eat.
It understood why Natsuhiko "blatantly" put all the food out.
Having spent a long time with Natsuhiko, the "simple-minded" Togetic understood his old tactics.
Although the tactics are old, if they work that's all that matters.
Under Togetic's insistence, Chimchar eventually "surrendered."
Togetic understood Chimchar's temperament just a tiny bit.
In its own understanding, it summed it up in one phrase....
Saving face.
Just like earlier.
Cyndaquil invited Chimchar to play together, but Chimchar refused due to the strange glances and slight exclusion from the other Cyndaquil.
If it were Togetic's personality.
Refusal?
Refusal is impossible in this lifetime, just play together, as long as it doesn't feel awkward, the awkward one would be others.
That's why Togetic manages to fit in well among Pokémon, which is one reason it becomes a "Social Butterfly."
In the end.
Under Togetic's repeated insistence, Chimchar followed it to Natsuhiko's side.
And this was the first close contact between Natsuhiko and Chimchar.
"Yours."
With a smile, Natsuhiko handed the Energy Block to Togetic, and casually patted its little head.
Togetic squealed happily, sitting directly on the ground, starting to stuff one piece after another into its mouth.
Then it glanced over at Chimchar, who was holding its head high, pretending to be indifferent.
Its action of occasionally glancing at the Energy Block in Natsuhiko's hand betrayed its true thoughts.
For Wild Pokémon, Energy Block is a delicious and nutritious food, few can resist the temptation of an Energy Block.
"I didn't prepare any good Fire Type Pokémon Energy Blocks, this is an intermediate Fire Type Energy Block, you'll just have to make do."
As he spoke, he placed the prepared Energy Block into Chimchar's arms.
Then tentatively...
reached out and rubbed its head.
Chimchar was stunned, and before it could resist, Natsuhiko had already pulled his hand back.
The only one who had rubbed its head previously was the Blazing Beast it admired, Natsuhiko... was the second.
The feeling was completely different.
"Go ahead and eat."
"Togetic——"
Under Togetic's urging, Chimchar sat down in a daze.
Returning to its senses, it cautiously picked out a piece, looked at it carefully, and then gently took a bite.
