Chapter 92: Will You Become My Pokemon?
Chapter 92: Will You Become My Pokemon?
Moping, who was poking his head around curiously, was startled by a sound from behind him.
He turned around quickly and saw a handsome young man with black hair appearing behind him, seemingly out of thin air.
The young man was dressed in a blue work uniform and was riding on a sturdy, red-bodied, and fierce-looking mysterious Pokemon that exuded a wild aura.
The fierce aura washed over Moping, and he gulped, feeling a bit intimidated. Even the Litten on his shoulder, Xiao Dai, started to tremble in fear.
At that moment, Moping saw the young man gently pat the Pokemon and say, "Goleradon, stop scaring people."
The Pokemon called Goleradon immediately transformed into a well-behaved and obedient creature, lowering its body submissively.
"Umm... hello, I'm Moping, a student at Orange Academy. I was chasing a Pidgey here and wanted to catch it, but it ran into this ranch," Moping explained.
Upon hearing this, Naoki looked up in the direction of Moping's gaze and, as expected, spotted a drowsy Pidgey on the roof of his house.
"Are you a new student?" Naoki asked.
Moping nodded weakly, "Yes, I just enrolled this year. This Litten, Xiao Dai, is my starter Pokemon that I received from the school."
Naoki nodded slightly. He jumped down from Goleradon and carried the box containing the automatic milking machine towards the Pokemon cottage, with Goleradon following closely by his side.
"Come in!" Naoki turned and said, "You want to catch that Pidgey, right? Standing there won't get the job done!"
"Oh!" Moping responded instinctively and quickly followed, saying, "Sorry for the intrusion!"
Naoki placed the box with the automatic milker in the Pokemon cottage.
Moping stood on the grass, watching his figure, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind:
This ranch owner is definitely not an ordinary country farmer!
How could an ordinary country farmer use a Pokemon like Garchomp for watering? That's way too extravagant!
Not to mention the red Pokemon by his side, its muscular and robust build exudes an extraordinary aura.
Moreover, this ranch owner seems quite young and doesn't appear to be married. That Garchomp can't be his child's Pokemon.
So, there's only one possibility left.
In this ranch, whether it's the Garchomp, Butterfree, or Milktank, they are all his Pokemon!
However, now didn't seem like the right time to dwell on that thought.
Moping looked up at the Pidgey and thought about how he could catch it.
When Naoki returned, he found Moping standing on the grass, deep in thought.
Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "You don't know how to catch Pokemon, do you?"
"I know, they taught us in school!" Moping replied.
To catch a Pokemon, one should battle with it and prove their strength before capturing it in a Poke Ball.
However... that Pidgey was too far away, and he only had Litten as his Pokemon, with no way to reach it.
Naoki was helpless in this situation as well. Catching Pokemon solely depended on the trainer's abilities, and others couldn't provide direct assistance.
Seeing the bewildered look on Moping's face, Naoki fell into thought.
Soon, an idea came to mind.
"I have an idea," Naoki said.
"What?" Moping turned to him, looking dazed.
Naoki smiled and said, "There's more than one way to catch a Pokemon, and different Pokemon have different personalities. Some may require a battle, while others might follow you for food."
Upon hearing this, Moping's eyes lit up as he understood, and he gratefully exclaimed, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Ranch Owner!"
"Call me Naoki," he said, calling over Butterfree and conveying the request.
After listening to Naoki, Butterfree flew up to the roof.
Its movement startled the Pidgey, which quickly opened its eyes and looked toward them with caution.
Butterfree hovered in the air, communicating with the Pidgey.
"Bur, bur!"
"Pidgey?"
The Pidgey tilted its head, looking a bit confused. After a moment, it seemed to understand Butterfree's intention and turned its head to look at the ground below, where the boy with his Litten stood.
The boy, full of hope, clenched his fists, clearly eager for the Pidgey to become his Pokemon.
The Pidgey cocked its head, studying him for a moment before giving its response.
"Pidgey!"
Butterfree flew back, happily nodding to Naoki. "Bur!"
The Pidgey also descended, landing on the ground. Watching this unfold, Naoki said with interest, "It seems it's willing to give you a chance."
"Great!" Moping cried out excitedly, shouting at the Pidgey, "I'll definitely prove my strength to you!"
A Pokemon battle was about to begin.
Naoki stepped aside, giving them space on the grass, while he moved to the edge, leaning against Goleradon, and watched the battle with curiosity.
As a trainer who had just set out on his journey, Moping's battling style was direct and straightforward.
Without a referee or judges, the battle commenced.
Moping gave his Litten an order. "Litten, use Spark!"
Litten sprang into action, opening its mouth to unleash a cluster of sparks toward Pidgey.
At the same time, the Pidgey also moved.
However, compared to Litten, its speed was a tad slower, and as expected, it was hit by the sparks.
Seizing the opportunity, Moping pressed on, but a white light suddenly shone from Pidgey, and it struck Litten first with lightning speed.
It was a Flash.
Litten cried out in pain, but it took advantage of the Pidgey's proximity.
Its mouth opened wide, revealing a ghostly light, and it bit down hard on the Pidgey with its sharp teeth.
The Pidgey was badly injured and fell to the grass.
Seizing the opportunity, Moping quickly took out an empty Poke Ball from his pocket and threw it at the Pidgey.
The Poke Ball hit its mark, wobbled a few times on the ground, and then became still.
This signified a successful capture and the Pidgey's acknowledgment of Moping's strength!
"Yes! I caught the Pidgey!" Moping shouted excitedly, rushing forward to pick up the Poke Ball containing the Pidgey.
He thanked Naoki profusely. "Thank you so much, Mr. Naoki!"
Naoki gave him a thumbs-up. "You're pretty good!"
