Kain put the two boxes of treasured stones directly into the warehouse.
These stones probably don’t have an expiration date, right?
Afterwards, it was time to welcome Krabby and make food to celebrate.
Eating food made by Kain for the first time, Krabby felt that the life it had lived before was too bitter.
As expected, following a Trainer meant having delicious food.
Moreover, in the food, it tasted something it had sensed right when it first came in.
It seemed to be right inside its meal.
No wonder Gyarados and Dragonair kept talking about how good it was; turns out this was the reason.
If it could stay in this place forever, who would want to go anywhere else?
“King~”
“What’s wrong, isn’t it delicious?”
Kain looked at Krabby curiously, wondering why it stopped eating just as it started.
“King~ King~”
Krabby shook its head hurriedly; how could this possibly not be delicious?
It was simply too delicious, so delicious that it didn’t know what to say.
Fortunately, Dragonair on the side knew Krabby’s thoughts and patted its head with its tail to comfort it.
“Dragonair~ Dragonair~”
“King~ King~”
Krabby waved its claws and then continued chowing down.
“Dragonair~”
Dragonair let out a soft call toward Kain, seemingly asking for credit, and then also joined the army of enthusiastic eaters.
“Eat more, I still have plenty of food in the pot, help yourself to more if it’s not enough.”
Kain said gently.
It was fine as long as they liked the food he made.
“Dragonair~”
Dragonair and Gyarados took it seriously, eating quickly so they could get seconds in a moment.
This definitely couldn’t be wasted.
Soon, mealtime quickly passed.
Dragonair and the others all ate very happily, and each of them didn’t want to move a muscle.
No matter what, they wouldn’t want to trade this kind of life for anything else.
Following such a great Trainer was something all Pokémon dreamed of.
…
After Krabby joined, life didn’t seem to change much and remained just as it was.
It was just that there was an extra figure by their side.
However, Krabby was very diligent; every day after finishing a meal, it would discipline itself to work out.
This suddenly made Kain feel a bit disdainful toward Gyarados.
“Gyarados, look at others, they all know how to take the initiative to work out. What about you? After eating, you should work out along with me. When I don’t work out, you don’t work out either. Look at your belly, isn’t it fatter than when you first started?”
Kain said while touching Gyarados’s abdomen.
But Gyarados was completely thick-skinned.
It wasn’t fat; this was a sense of power.
For a Gyarados nearly ten meters long, having a bit of a big belly was normal, right?
“If you’re not willing to work out proactively, then your food from now on will be halved and given to the other Pokémon.”
Swoosh!
Gyarados sprang up abruptly and then started working out.
No, this definitely couldn’t do; its food couldn’t be reduced.
It couldn’t share with Dragonair and Krabby, since it already felt it didn’t have enough to eat itself.
“I knew it, only food can get you moving, right?”
Kain was somewhat speechless; he had raised a huge foodie.
As long as there was food, it would do anything.
“Dragonair~ Dragonair~”
Dragonair, coiled around Kain’s body, laughed derisively at Gyarados.
But its head was also grabbed by Kain.
“Dragonair, you’re the same.”
“Dragonair~”
Dragonair looked at Kain with both eyes, and after making sure he wasn’t joking, it immediately joined the workout team.
It definitely didn’t want to miss out on delicious food.
Training?
What was that?
Compared to food, this was nothing at all.
Watching the three Pokémon working out with huffing and puffing, Kain nodded with satisfaction.
This was the way it should be.
After hearing some news from Shelly, he also developed a bit of a sense of crisis.
That was, his own power had not yet reached a very strong level.
He needed to make his Pokémon stronger first, increase their numbers a bit, and protect his home first.
Only then could he accomplish more things in the future.
“However, should I find more Pokémon to raise? If the Pokémon on the island increase, I’ll be even safer. Anyway, there’s still so much space on this island.”
Kain thought while stroking his chin, feeling like it seemed pretty good.
“Hmm, let’s do it this way, but they still have to be willing to follow me. I’m not the kind of person who likes to coerce others.”
“Gyarados, come spar with me.”
“Roar!”
Here it comes!
…
This was a fish Gyarados caught from the sea, and it was quite large.
After coming to this world, Kain discovered that ordinary fish were never small in size.
Anyway, the fish he saw basically never measured less than half a meter in length.
With such a big fish, Kain naturally made grilled fish.
He grilled it right in the backyard.
To clear away the greasiness, Kain also used Berries to make juice, preparing drinks for everyone and the Pokémon.
What Kain drank was juice squeezed from pink Berries.
The thing was, after drinking a large glass of juice, he discovered that he seemed to have undergone some unusual changes.
His mind became much clearer, as if something extra had appeared.
When he focused on thinking about things, he discovered that the cup he had used was flying up for no apparent reason.
There seemed to be a light pink energy lingering on it.
“??? What is going on?”
Kain said, and the cup dropped straight to the ground.
Bam!
The cup shattered, and the sound attracted the attention of Gyarados and the others who were happily chowing down.
“Roar~”
“Dragonair~”
“King~”
The three Pokémon looked at Kain in unison, then looked around, but there were no enemies nearby.
“Something seems to have happened to me.”
Kain said, looking at his palms in disbelief.
But when he turned his head to look at Gyarados and the others, they immediately noticed something.
That was, Kain’s eyes seemed to have changed, taking on a hint of pink.
There was also an intangible sense of oppression emanating from his body.
The Trainer had gotten stronger again; how was it supposed to battle and train with the Trainer in the future?
Gyarados really wanted to shout out; it suspected whether it was going to get severely beaten by its Trainer in the future.
“Dragonair~”
Dragonair flew right in front of Kain, staring straight at him.
Looking at Dragonair, Kain had a guess in his heart, which was that his power seemed to be able to act upon them.
With this thought, Kain naturally wanted to test it out.
With wide-open eyes, he tried using that power he had just felt, directing it toward Dragonair.
The next second, Kain felt that his guess wasn’t wrong, knowing it could be used.
“Kain, what’s wrong with you?”
Hearing a female voice, Kain’s first reaction was to look around; could someone else have come to his house?
“Kain, what are you looking at?”
Another female voice sounded, and Kain turned his head to look at Dragonair.
No way…
