“Very good.
This sound,” she blew a short and clear whistle, “represents gather or come here.”
During training, Sky displayed amazing concentration and comprehension, often remembering things after just one try.
Little Black was slightly more playful and would sometimes be distracted by the Butterfree flying by the side of the training ground, but under Sky’s low, warning whimpers and Lucy’s patient repetition, he could also correct himself quickly.
“Sit.” “Stay.” “Low-voice warning.” Basic commands were taught progressively.
Lucy combined gestures and sounds for teaching, and the results were significant.
Roselia would sometimes be on the side, using its pink roses to release soft energy of encouragement and approval, helping Sky and Little Black relax and become more engaged in the training.
Turtwig was full of curiosity about these two newly joined, furry, and fierce-looking “big dog” friends.
During breaks in training, it would cautiously approach, sniffing Sky’s paws with its wet nose, or trying to climb onto Little Black’s broad back (only to be gently shaken off by Little Black).
Sky was exceptionally patient with Turtwig, even allowing it to doze off against him.
Although Little Black was a bit more lively, his movements were also noticeably restrained, for fear of knocking over the little one.
Lombre’s team initially kept their distance from the Mightyena.
But after seeing Sky and Little Black patrolling seriously and never getting into the water to cause trouble or trying to catch them, they gradually got used to these two gray figures silently patrolling on land.
Over the course of a few days, Sky and Little Black quickly integrated into the farm’s daily rhythm.
During the day, they would undergo short training sessions under Lucy’s guidance or quietly patrol various parts of the farm, familiarizing themselves with every corner and every normal scent.
Most of the time, they liked to stay on the gentle slope that overlooked the entire farm or at the entrance of the warehouse, like two silent and vigilant sentries.
The night was their true home turf. Visit novelping.com for the full chapter.
When Ivysaur, Roselia, and the other Pokémon returned to the house to rest, Sky and Little Black began their official night patrol.
They had a clear division of labor; Sky was responsible for patrolling fixed routes, his steps steady and his gaze like torches; Little Black was more flexible, randomly checking weak points in the perimeter wall or lurking in the shadows, listening for the slightest unusual sound.
They had a unique, low, guttural way of communicating with each other, sufficient to convey simple information in the quiet night.
Their arrival indeed brought a real sense of security.
Several Sentret and Zigzagoon that originally tried to approach the farm to steal vegetables at night, after being “politely” watched by the Mightyena—whose green eyes glowed eerily in the dark—for two consecutive nights, sensibly changed their territory.
The chirping of insects at night on the farm seemed even more peaceful.
Lucy also further optimized the pokéblock recipe based on their habits and work intensity, adding auxiliary ingredients for stamina and night vision.
Sky and Little Black’s loyalty to this Trainer who saved them and gave them a home and responsibilities grew day by day.
They began to take the initiative to walk to her side when Lucy went out in the morning, gently rubbing her hand with their heads, or running to the farm entrance to welcome her when she returned in the evening.
Although their tails did not wag happily like pet dogs, the slightly swaying tail tips and the warmth in their eyes said it all.
One evening, Circe visited and was so surprised she couldn’t close her mouth when she saw Sky and Little Black, who were following Lucy closely, looking majestic yet steady.
“Wow!
They are the ones from that night…
They look completely different now!
So cool!
And they feel so reliable!” Circe wanted to approach but hesitated a little. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Lucy signaled for Sky and Little Black to come forward.
The two Mightyena looked at Lucy, and after receiving an encouraging look, they slowly walked in front of Circe, bowing their heads slightly to acknowledge her.
Circe carefully extended her hand; Sky sniffed it gently, while Little Black nudged her palm with his head, their movements gentle.
“They are now the official night watchmen of the farm, Sky and Little Black.” Lucy introduced them.
“Sky, Little Black?
Haha, simple and easy to remember!” Circe laughed happily and took out the prepared Pokémon snacks to share with them.
Sky and Little Black looked at Lucy, and seeing her nod, they politely accepted them, then quietly retreated to the side to stand guard.
“Sister Lucy, you are really amazing,” Circe said sincerely.
“Not only can you make different kinds of Pokémon live together harmoniously, but you can also make Pokémon like Mightyena become so…
well, disciplined and gentle.”
Lucy looked toward the side of the training ground at Ivysaur, who was patiently guiding Turtwig to use Ingrain more steadily, and at Roselia by the experimental field, who was carefully harmonizing the energy field with its dual-colored roses.
She then looked at the steady and loyal Sky and Little Black beside her, and the Lombre team in the pond that had reached a tacit understanding with the land sentries.
“It’s not that I’m amazing,” she said softly.
“It’s that they chose to trust on their own, chose this home, and chose each other.
I just gave them a chance and a piece of land that they could protect together.”
