Two hours later, dusk was approaching. Pidgeot's cry echoed through the forest. A few seconds later, Pidgeot landed on the ground, and a young man, carrying a bulging backpack, jumped off its back.
"Tell them to come over."
After getting down, Jack called out to Entei, who had been waiting for a long time, while opening his backpack to reveal it was filled to the brim with Poké Balls, about two hundred of them.
Two hours earlier, Entei, fearing that the Pokémon here would be disturbed by humans after he left, asked Jack to capture them one by one. This way, not only would others be unable to capture them, but they could also use Jack's divine power to continuously grow stronger.
Jack did not refuse. Although capturing them would not grant him skills, he still agreed. After all, if he was going to act like a saint in front of Entei, he should at least perform some saint-like actions. Fortunately, he only had to capture the Pokémon cared for by Entei, and some Pokémon whose species had evolved to their final form. Otherwise, even if he used all his wealth to buy Poké Balls, he probably wouldn't be able to capture them all...
"Everyone, come over. Line up in order. The Master will put you in Poké Balls and then release you again, so there's no need to worry about losing your freedom."
Entei used Telepathy to transmit his voice to the Pokémon rushing through the forest.
"Pidgeot!" "Arbok!" "Nido!" "Kabi (Munchlax)!" "Shroomish!"
Soon, many Pokémon's Growls echoed through the forest, and they lined up orderly according to Entei's words...
"Nidoking, Nidoqueen, take this bag of snacks for your children."
The first two Pokémon Jack captured were Nidoking and Nidoqueen. After capturing them, Jack took two bags of Pokémon snacks from Pidgeot's back and handed them over.
"Nido!" "Nido!"
Nidoking and Nidoqueen took the snacks and affectionately nudged Jack's face with their heads to show their closeness.
Jack smiled and patted their heads: "No need for that. Although I can't take you away from here, from now on I am your nominal Master. Giving you something to eat is only right."
"Nido!" "Nido!"
Nidoking and Nidoqueen happily licked Jack's cheek again before leaving.
Jack smiled, said nothing more, and called out to the Munchlax in third place: "Munchlax, come here."
"Kabi (Munchlax)!"
Soon, the adorably naive Munchlax allowed Jack to capture him with a Poké Ball without resistance. However, after Jack released him and was about to take a bag of snacks from Pidgeot's back to give to him, that fellow's naive expression suddenly vanished the moment he saw the snacks. Then, he stomped his foot and leaped onto Pidgeot's back.
"Kabi (Munchlax)!"
Munchlax actually grabbed the large bag of snacks and ran off, eating as he ran. He looked as if he intended to claim the entire large bag of snacks for himself.
Jack was instantly bewildered.
What the heck, is he serious? Stealing their snacks in front of so many Pokémon? Isn't he afraid of being caught and beaten up later?
As soon as this thought emerged, Jack felt what it was like to incur the wrath of many Pokémon. The Pokémon, who had been lining up orderly, instantly fell into disarray. They all roared and chased after Munchlax, looking as if they wanted to beat him to a pulp.
Fortunately, Entei was there. He let out a roar, and the Pokémon immediately quieted down. Then, Entei stomped his foot, leaped over ten meters, and landed in front of Munchlax. After calling out to Munchlax a few times, Munchlax, with a pitiful expression, walked back with the snacks and placed them beside Jack's feet.
"This child is like this; he can't help but do such things when he sees food. Please don't mind him, Master," Entei, fearing Jack would blame Munchlax, explained from the side.
Jack glanced at the half-empty snack bag, shrugged, indicating it was nothing, as it wasn't his snacks that were eaten anyway. Moreover, he knew of Snorlax's reputation as a glutton; after all, it was the only Pokémon playfully nicknamed as one that eats everything, leaving nothing behind, and is useless at everything else. In his world, there was nothing but eating and sleeping. Nothing else mattered. Even if the world were to end, he could still eat and sleep with the composure of a mountain. Extremely calm.
"However, this place shouldn't be Munchlax's natural habitat, right? And I seem to only see him, just one Munchlax."
Jack voiced a doubt he had.
Entei said: "This child was abandoned. Because his appetite was too big, his Master couldn't afford to raise him, so he abandoned him. Later, he met me in the forest, and seeing him alone, I took him under my wing."
"No wonder." Jack shrugged; with that explanation, he understood. Ordinary people simply couldn't afford to raise a big eater Pokémon like Munchlax. More importantly, when he evolves into a Snorlax, it becomes even more terrifying. With an appetite of eight hundred kilograms a day, who would dare to raise him without immense wealth? He, for one, wouldn't dare.
A few minutes later, this unexpected incident passed without further ado, and Jack continued to capture Pokémon with his Poké Balls. However, every Pokémon he captured, when receiving their snacks, would let out an angry roar at Munchlax, who was sitting by Jack's feet, before leaving.
Thus, Jack's act of capturing these Pokémon continued until late into the night, capturing nearly two hundred Pokémon, with only five Poké Balls remaining. And all the snacks were distributed. Due to Munchlax, all the snacks were distributed halfway through the Pokémon capturing process...
After becoming the Master of these Pokémon, Jack stood on Pidgeot's back, looking out over the forest. He suddenly felt like the King of the Forest. After all, the leaders of the clans living here were basically his Pokémon now, which meant the entire forest was his.
With a strong sense of pride, Jack entered the cave, holding Mew in one arm, and resting his head on Entei to sleep. The night passed just like that.
Early the next morning, Jack was to lead Entei and Mew away from here to begin a new journey. However, what made Jack want to spit blood was that just as he was about to leave, Munchlax followed him, clinging tightly to his leg. He kept calling out, "Kabi, Kabi." He meant that Jack had to take him along, otherwise he wouldn't let go.
Oh my goodness.
Upon hearing this, Jack's face immediately changed. Munchlax's daily food consumption alone was equivalent to his and Mew's food for half a month, and possibly more. How could he, a poor guy who had to earn money through bounty battles with others, afford to raise him?
However, Entei said: "Master, why don't you take him with you? Because of his natural love for food, this child has no friends in this forest. If we leave, he might be ostracized, and he might even starve to death. I believe Master wouldn't want to see such a scene, right?"
"Uh..."
A cold sweat dripped from Jack's forehead. He really wanted to say that he didn't have much money. But then Mew suddenly interjected: "Of course you can! Master is very rich and generous. When he took me to human restaurants before, I could eat whatever I wanted. So if Munchlax wants to come along, then let him come along."
As soon as these words were spoken, Jack's face instantly froze. Because this completely blocked his escape route. And it was blocked completely.
"Kabi~"
Munchlax, hearing what Mew said, immediately tilted his head and looked at Jack, his expression beaming with a smile.
Jack lowered his head, looking at the adorably naive Munchlax clinging to his leg. Although his heart was bleeding at the moment, he still forced a smile and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Welcome, Munchlax, to our journey."
"Kabi!!!"
As soon as the words fell, Munchlax suddenly jumped from Jack's leg onto Jack's back, grabbed Jack's face, and gave him a series of kisses.
Entei, watching the scene from the side, nodded in satisfaction. As expected of his Master, he had the same compassion for protecting weaker Pokémon as he did.
