“Trop～”
“Gull～”
A group of Pokémon quietly asked Kain.
It was simply too terrifying for the Pokémon; they all suspected whether they had been hoodwinked by Kain into boarding a pirate ship.
Saying they would advance and retreat together!
And yet they ended up provoking such powerful Pokémon—and three of them at that.
This was going to be the death of them Pokémon～
“I don’t know either, they just suddenly attacked us.”
Kain himself was completely dumbfounded; Gyarados was still knocked out with swirly eyes right now.
Where was he supposed to know about what happened next?
“Trop～”
“Gull～”
The group of Pokémon glanced at the Pokémon in the sky; if this matter couldn’t be resolved, they might just have to leave, after all, their relationship with Kain wasn’t good enough to die for him.
They had just met and known each other for a few minutes, so there was no need to go that far.
Fortunately, the three yellow Pokémon flying in the sky didn’t make any other moves.
They slowly followed Dragonair and flew down.
At this time, the dark clouds in the sky also dissipated.
“Dragonair, how is it?”
Kain asked Dragonair curiously.
After all, the three Pokémon behind it were eyeing him with ill intent.
“Kain, actually, they’re my mom, dad, and Dragonite Sister. I ran away from home to play before, and then I met you when I came here. Just now, they thought you were a bad person, so they made a move.”
Dragonair explained sheepishly.
It even coiled around Kain’s body, rubbing its head against him to Charm him.
At this moment, Kain didn’t dare to move a muscle all over his body.
The three Pokémon in front seemed to be in an even worse mood.
He dared to say that if he were to touch Dragonair, they would hold other sentiments toward him.
“Um, hello, my name is Kain, nice to meet you.”
Kain smiled and greeted the Dragonite.
They were just Dragonair’s Family; he needed to fulfill the duties of a good host.
“Wu～”
Dragonite Father let out a soft cry.
Dragonair reluctantly got down from Kain’s body.
“Kain, don’t worry, I won’t go with my mom and dad. I want to stay; I’m Kain’s Pokémon after all.”
“Wu～”
Having left home for only a short while, all her thoughts were already on some other man.
Her Family had been completely forgotten.
What a truly good sister, considering how worried they had been about her, fearing she might encounter some danger.
And what was the result?
This was the ending they got.
For a man, she didn’t even want her Family anymore.
Dragonite Mother gently waved at Kain, then took Dragonair aside with the other two Dragonite to lecture it.
“Trop～”
“Gull～”
Tropius and Pelipper breathed a sigh of relief.
Just by standing here, the aura emanating from these three Dragonite almost rendered them unable to move.
Fortunately, the two sides didn’t fight; otherwise, dealing with them would just be a matter of a single claw swipe from those Dragonite.
“Krabby, how is Gyarados doing?”
Kain looked at the Dragonite Family with a worried expression, then turned to look at Krabby, who was tending to Gyarados behind him.
“Krab～”
“It’s just severely injured and unconscious, as long as it gets treated, it’ll be fine.”
“Is the method for treating Pokémon the same as for us humans?”
“Krab～”
“Pretty much. Without medical equipment, using Berries works too.”
Krabby stated the method.
Pokémon in the wild like them naturally didn’t have medical equipment for treatment; when severely injured, eating Berries and resting was all it took.
“Berries? Great, Pelipper, Tropius, can you guys carry Gyarados over to my place?”
Kain looked toward Tropius and Pelipper.
Only these two larger Pokémon could carry Gyarados.
Otherwise, relying on Wingull, who knows how many would be needed.
“Kain, what are you planning to do?”
“What am I planning? Treat Gyarados. But Krabby, you stay here and keep an eye on them; if Dragonair wants to go back, it shouldn’t just leave like this.”
“Alright!”
Krabby agreed.
Although it couldn’t beat Dragonite, it didn’t want to see Dragonair just leave like that.
They were all part of the Family, after all.
“I’ll leave it to you.”
Kain brought Gyarados back into the estate, intending to try treating Gyarados using Berries.
With how much of a glutton it was, it should work.
On the other side, the Dragonite Family was trying to persuade Dragonair.
No, what kind of soul-prowling soup did that human feed their child?
No matter what they said, it simply refused to leave.
No amount of persuasion was of any use.
This left Dragonite Father with anger nowhere to vent.
No matter how good-tempered the Dragonite Family was, seeing their daughter being so easily coaxed away would make them angry too.
“Dragon～”
Hearing Dragonair’s words, the three Dragonite widened their eyes and stared at Dragonair.
No, what do you mean?
You’re actually turning around to persuade them to stay here.
What’s the meaning of this?
What, it’s one thing for you to stay here, but you’re also trying to package the whole Family up for him?
Their Dragonite Family had never done anything like this.
Dragonite Sister poked Dragonair’s body with her claw.
“Sister, Mom, Dad, trust me, staying here is definitely great. Look at me, when I first came here, I was just a Dratini and wasn’t very strong. But after staying here for a while, I’ve already evolved into Dragonair. I have a hunch that after a little longer, I’ll be able to evolve into a Dragonite just like you all.”
Dragonair tried hard to put in a good word for Kain.
It wanted to stay here, and if it could drag its Family along too, that would be even better.
That way, neither side would have any regrets.
“Wu～”
Hearing what Dragonair said, Dragonite parents and Dragonite Sister lowered their heads and looked at Dragonair.
They had almost forgotten about this.
Their daughter (sister) had only been a Dratini a short while ago.
And now it had actually evolved.
How difficult it was for their Family to evolve, they all knew.
Never did they expect that their daughter had already reached Dragonair, and even claimed she was close to reaching Dragonite.
This couldn’t help but shock them, prompting them to check up on Dragonair’s condition.
To see if that human had used some kind of method to prematurely drain Dragonair’s potential.
Otherwise, how could it improve so quickly?
“Wu～”
A moment later, the Dragonite didn’t find anything unusual; in fact, they even discovered that Dragonair was developing extremely well.
It had reached the most perfect condition for the same stage.
This left the Dragonite puzzled.
Could that human possess some special power that allowed Pokémon to grow rapidly without overdrawing their potential?
“Wu～”
“You guys should just stay. Once you stay here for a while, you’ll know.”
The three Dragonite looked at each other; calling Dragonair back seemed impossible now.
Therefore, they would temporarily stay here—they wanted to see just what kind of magic this place held that made Dragonair unwilling to go back.
