“You sure have a lot of smooth things to say, but you are right. As neighbors, we really should help each other out.” Pelipper nodded and replied.
“Right? We also want to live peacefully on the island.”
Kain was also quite surprised, not expecting that he could persuade Pelipper so easily.
Pelipper had no choice but to agree; after all, Gyarados was glaring menacingly at it.
If it didn’t agree, it would probably be torn apart by them.
Of course, this was also beneficial to itself.
That was, with them around, if they encountered any trouble, they could find them to help.
“We are willing to live in harmony with you. As long as we are on the island, we can listen to your words, but if we encounter any danger, you must also come to help us.”
Pelipper still bit the bullet and expressed its thoughts.
“No problem, mutual aid, just like you said earlier.”
Kain resolutely agreed.
As residents of the same island, helping each other out was only right.
But he never expected that they would actually agree and even listen to him.
Why was that?
Was it because they were stronger here?
“Alright, since things are settled here, let’s head to the other side.”
After bidding farewell to Pelipper, Kain led Gyarados and the others toward another direction.
On the west side of the island, when Kain arrived, he didn’t see any other Pokémon.
Unlike the south, which had populations of Wingull and Pelipper, he really didn’t see any other Pokémon here.
“Hey, there surprisingly aren’t any Pokémon here. Is it an environmental issue on this side?”
“Kain, it’s not an environmental issue, but because there is a powerful Pokémon here that treats this place as its territory, so no other Pokémon come here.”
After seeing a creature, Gyarados replied to Kain.
“Powerful? Is it him?”
Kain asked, pointing at a Pokémon.
This Pokémon appeared to be a large Pokémon with a pair of green wings that looked like leaves.
It had a long neck, and especially under its chin, it also grew a few banana-like fruits.
“Wow, a Pokémon with fruits growing on its own body.”
It was Kain’s first time seeing it, and he was quite surprised.
“Trop~”
This Pokémon noticed Kain and the others immediately.
Seeing there were so many of them and they looked like they were making a big fuss, it immediately flapped its wings and prepared for battle at any time.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute. We mean no malice coming here, and we aren’t here to fight you.”
Seeing this situation, Kain immediately stepped forward and said to the flying Pokémon.
“Trop~”
“We can talk. We really have no malice. I am the person living in the house in the center of the island.”
Kain tried his best to radiate goodwill.
“Trop~”
Tropius glanced at Kain, then looked at the outline of the estate not far ahead, and still shook its head.
“Trop~”
“What does he mean by that?”
Kain looked at Tropius in puzzlement.
He used his ability to try to converse with Tropius, but the other party wasn’t willing.
So he could only ask Gyarados.
“He said he only decided to settle down here in the last few days and hasn’t been to other parts of the island.”
The meaning was very clear: he wasn’t familiar with you and didn’t know you.
“Uh~ Now we know each other, don’t we? We are neighbors now, shouldn’t we sit down and have a good talk?”
Kain asked gently, looking at Tropius.
No wonder he hadn’t seen this large Pokémon before; turns out he arrived recently.
His daily routine probably just missed theirs.
“Trop~”
“He said he only listens to the voice of the strong.”
Gyarados acted as the translator.
“Does he mean that if we fight, and I win, he’ll have a good talk with us?”
Kain understood the meaning.
“Trop~”
Tropius nodded; that was exactly what he meant.
This time, without Gyarados translating, he understood what it meant.
“Alright, I accept your challenge.” Kain replied, pointing at Tropius.
Then he prepared to start warming up.
He wanted to thoroughly defeat the other party so that he would listen to him properly.
“Kain, what are you doing?”
Gyarados looked at Kain strangely.
Why was his Trainer starting to exercise?
“Didn’t he say he wanted to challenge me? I’m loosening up my body to fight him.”
Kain replied to Gyarados as if it were only natural.
“Ah? Is that how you understood it?”
Gyarados and the other Pokémon looked at Kain in surprise.
So their Trainer understood challenges in this kind of way.
Clearly, the unwritten rule here was battles between Pokémon.
It was the first time they had ever seen a Trainer warm up and then step up to fight themselves. Get faster updates on g.com.
“Uh~ Did I misunderstand?”
Looking at Gyarados, Dragonair, and the others, Kain realized he seemed to have misinterpreted it.
“Uh, Kain, actually it’s like this.”
Gyarados still explained the situation to Kain.
For some reason, he felt that his Trainer understood Pokémon battles even less than they did as Pokémon.
Although it wasn’t impossible for a Trainer to take the field, under subtle influences nowadays, it was basically Pokémon battles.
The Trainer just needed to give commands.
Little did they know, his Trainer wasn’t very good at commanding.
Commanding Pokémon to battle was worse than letting him fight himself.
“Kain, Tropius means battling us Pokémon, not you.”
“Oh~”
Kain came to a sudden realization; so that was how it was.
Immediately after, he thought of something else: “Then what about me?”
“Kain, you just need to command us to battle the other Pokémon.”
“Command you guys in battle?”
Kain repeated it aloud, but inside he was completely at a loss.
No, where would he know how to command?
He couldn’t even figure out what moves Gyarados and the others knew.
No, maybe he could do it this way.
Kain rolled his eyes and came up with another idea.
“Alright, Dragonair, Krabby, let’s back up a bit so we don’t get caught in the crossfire.”
Kain led the two Pokémon back a short distance.
“We’re ready. Next, it’s up to you, Gyarados.”
“Rest assured, Kain, I can beat him.”
Gyarados was very confident.
Even though the Tropius in front of him had some strength and had a type advantage over him, so what?
Battles relied on momentum.
Watch how he crushes and beats him.
“Trop~”
Tropius looked at Gyarados and took the initiative to launch an attack.
“Gyarados, use Tail.”
Kain remembered that Gyarados had used a tail move to fight him before.
At first, getting whipped by it really hurt a bit.
He remembered it very clearly.
“Roar~”
Gyarados let out a roar, whipped its tail, and a huge tail formed of flowing water slammed toward Tropius.
