“Dragonair, was that you speaking just now?”
Kain stroked Dragonair’s head and asked.
“Ah? Dragonair didn’t say anything.”
Dragonair looked at Kain with cute eyes.
It was the exact same voice.
It was definitely Dragonair’s voice from just now.
“Dragonair, I think I can understand what you’re saying now.”
This was the first thing that came to Kain’s mind.
It must have been that special situation earlier that allowed him to hear Dragonair clearly.
“Really? Kain.”
Dragonair excitedly rubbed its head against Kain’s face.
“Yes, it’s true.”
Now, Kain was certain that he could definitely hear and understand what Dragonair was saying.
Nearby, Gyarados and Krabby both put down their grilled fish and slowly walked closer to Kain.
“Roar! Kain, can you really understand what we’re saying?”
Gyarados let out a soft roar at Kain.
“Wait a moment.”
Kain called out to Gyarados, and then applied his newly acquired ability to Gyarados.
“Now it works.”
“Really? Kain, I want to eat another large grilled fish.”
“No, Gyarados, you’ve already eaten so much. Have you forgotten what you promised me earlier?” Kain immediately retorted to Gyarados.
At this moment, Gyarados truly believed that Kain could now understand them.
“Krabby～ Krabby～”
Krabby called out, asking what about it, and telling him not to forget about it.
“Right, right, and you too.”
Kain smiled and also let Krabby join the small team.
“Kain, Kain, I am Krabby, can you hear me?”
Krabby called out rapidly.
Kain nodded, “Mm, I hear you. That’s great! With this ability, we can talk to each other from now on without any worries.”
Kain really liked this ability.
In the past, when dealing with his Pokémon, he always had to guess and piece things together just to barely understand what they meant.
But now, simple communication like this was enough.
“Kain, I want to eat grilled fish brushed with Berry juice.”
Dragonair swam around Kain and called out with a Charm.
“Alright, alright, I’ll make it for you right away.”
Kain affectionately stroked Dragonair’s head. Get faster updates on g.com.
Among the three Pokémon, only Dragonair was a girl.
Since she was a girl, she should be pampered more.
Boys didn’t need that much fuss.
“Kain, I want some too.”
“Kain, me too.”
Gyarados and Krabby both chimed in.
“Alright, but you guys need to make it yourselves.”
“No problem.”
They had a very happy barbecue session.
Although Gyarados and the others didn’t eat much fish, with the Berries, they quickly became full.
On the other hand, Kain didn’t feel full at all and even thought he could keep eating.
When it was time for bed, after Kain and Dragonair played and tumbled around in bed, he deactivated the newly acquired ability.
The next second, Kain felt his head growing a bit dizzy and heavy.
He was getting a bit sleepy~
“Dragonair, get some rest early.”
“Dragonair~”
Dragonair obediently lay down on the bed and fell asleep with Kain.
However, while they were resting so peacefully here, little did they know that three angry Pokémon were heading towards their direction.
They had already picked up the aura of their child (younger sister).
…
The next day!
Kain led his Pokémon to start patrolling the island.
As the self-proclaimed master of this island, he had to protect every life on it.
With three Pokémon by his side, plus some progress in his own strength, he was in a much better mood to check out the other creatures on the island.
His manor was right in the center of the island, with roads leading in all directions.
Now, he needed to check which Pokémon frequently lived around the area, so they could be better neighbors.
The first place he came to was the south, which was the place he passed by when running.
Usually, he would just jog past quickly without paying much attention to other things.
Now he could examine it properly.
Kain looked at a flock of white bird Pokémon standing on a dozen coconut trees.
He couldn’t help asking Gyarados and the others beside him, “What kind of Pokémon are they?”
Gyarados: “I often see these Pokémon. They seem to be called Wingull.”
“Wingull?”
As soon as Kain and the others approached, the Wingull on the coconut trees instantly flew up and looked at them in battle readiness.
They were ready to attack at any moment.
Kain quickly stopped in his tracks and said to the Wingull.
However, they still kept their eyes locked on Kain and his group.
“Um, which of you is the leader? Can one of you come forward as a representative to talk?”
Kain asked, looking at the Wingull.
With so many Pokémon around, there had to be a leader, otherwise things would be chaotic.
The Wingull looked at each other, and shortly after, a large bird Pokémon flew over here.
Its color was similar to the Wingull, except its beak had become much larger.
“Could this be Wingull’s evolution, Pelipper?”
Kain said with a trace of restraint.
Although he didn’t know its name, judging by its appearance, this was his immediate guess.
“Mm, that’s right. I am their leader, Pelipper.”
Pelipper answered Kain.
Connecting with Pelipper and hearing its voice, Kain was surprised.
The name he had just thrown out casually actually turned out to be correct.
“Um, I have no malicious intent.”
Kain gently radiated his goodwill.
“Mm, I know. We often live around here, so we know what kind of person you are. Also, your Pokémon are very powerful; my partners were frightened by them.”
Pelipper answered Kain’s question.
The reason they flew up in the first place was because they were scared by Gyarados and Dragonair.
“It’s fine. Gyarados and the others are very kind, especially Gyarados. Although he looks scary, he is actually a very good and gentle Pokémon, right?”
Kain stroked Gyarados’s head and laughed.
Gyarados also happily squinted its eyes.
Seeing this, Pelipper was completely at a loss for words.
Gyarados is kind?
This was the first time it had ever heard such a thing.
Whenever it passed by the sea surface before, every single Gyarados it encountered was more volatile and short-tempered than the last.
Especially since this Gyarados was red, which made it look even more terrifying at first glance.
It had no idea how this human came to the conclusion that Gyarados was kind.
Still, if he said it was kind, then it was kind.
As long as Gyarados didn’t attack them, the Wingull, that was fine.
“Human, what are you looking for us for?”
“To get acquainted and make friends.”
“Make friends?”
Pelipper looked at Kain suspiciously.
“That’s right. We all live on this island, so naturally we are neighbors. We need to get to know each other and be friends, so we can watch out for and help each other if anything happens in the future.”
