Lin Feng was a bit stunned.

He could sense more than just Milotic's presence in the plantation; there were also the scents of several other Pokémon.

Following the scents, Lin Feng quickly saw what the remaining Pokémon were.

Three Rattata, one Pidgeotto, and one Spearow.

They were all lying by the reservoir, their fur and feathers completely soaked.

It was clear they had been hit by Milotic's Water Gun.

As Lin Feng approached, Under the clear water, a shimmering, colorful figure flashed by, then broke the surface, sparkling in the sunlight.

"Yuyu~"

Seeing Lin Feng return, Milotic immediately let out a joyful cry.

"These are?"

Although he had a guess, Lin Feng still asked.

Appropriate questioning and communication could deepen the bond with Pokémon.

Even after evolving into Milotic, its affection for him hadn't dropped; it had only risen, reaching 99 now.

"Yuyu~" (It's... it's these Rattata, they wanted to steal... the Spicy Pepper Fruit from over there.)

Perhaps because she was too excited to see Lin Feng, or perhaps due to her nature, she spoke a bit hesitantly.

"Mm, and then?"

Lin Feng smiled. "Take your time, no rush."

"Yuyu..." (Then I knocked them down... and then... these two flying... Pokémon, this one wanted to come down and steal the Spicy Pepper Fruit, and this Pidgeotto, it seemed to fly down because it saw the Rattata below.)

This time, Milotic's meaning was much clearer.

Lin Feng glanced at the Pokémon.

The three Rattata were between levels 11-13.

The Spearow was between levels 15-17.

The Pidgeotto was between levels 17-19.

With such Strength, being knocked down by Milotic wasn't surprising.

"Yuyu..."

Milotic's tone suddenly became a bit dejected and fearful.

"Yuyu..." (Some of the fruits were stolen.)

"Hm?"

Lin Feng blinked. He thought it was something else.

He remembered that Milotic had evolved from Feebas. Although its Strength and talent had changed dramatically, its personality was still a bit timid.

He patted Milotic's head, activating Evergreen Power. A green, reassuring energy immediately surged.

Talk no Jutsu was only effective on Pokémon like Mewtwo, who were far away and exceptionally powerful.

As for Milotic, whom he had already captured and whose affection was maxed out, Lin Feng chose to directly use Evergreen Power to calm her.

"Don't worry, just do your best. Forget a few fruits, even if this entire plantation was destroyed, you wouldn't be as important."

These words were true.

In Lin Feng's opinion, it was just a piece of land. Even if it were destroyed by some Legendary Pokémon, He could find another place, rebuild a plantation, and reopen a "Neighbor Breeder House."

But his Pokémon were different.

They were one of the few things in this world that made him strive.

"Yuyu~!"

The genuine emotion seemed to stun Milotic for a moment. The next second, Two streams of crystal-clear tears flowed from her eyes.

[Congratulations to the host for raising Milotic's Affection to 100. Reward: Silver Feather (A unique feather from the legendary sea god Lugia. When worn by Psychic-type or Flying-type Pokémon, it increases Special Attack by 15%-50%. Only Pokémon at Gym Leader level or higher can wear it.)]

The emotion of being touched was transmitted from Milotic to him, coupled with the Silver Feather rewarded by the System.

Lin Feng felt a mix of amusement and a touch of melancholy.

Pokémon...

They were such simple creatures.

"Alright, let's go back. I'll handle these Pokémon."

Patting Milotic's body, Lin Feng told it to return, then looked at the Pokémon it had knocked unable to battle.

The three Rattata had completely fainted. The Spearow and Pidgeotto could only move their wings, and had been repeatedly washed by water.

It seemed that both flying-type Pokémon had considered escaping midway. However, as soon as the thought arose, Milotic had struck them down. Over time, they had lost the will to escape.

After some thought, Lin Feng took out three Poké Balls and first recalled the three Rattata. Then, he turned his attention to the two flying-type Pokémon.

"Spearow!"

Under Lin Feng's gaze, the already ill-tempered Spearow seemed even more enraged due to the earlier Water Gun attack.

It directly flapped its wings, as if intending to use Quick Attack on Lin Feng.

But before it could move, Lin Feng grabbed its wings, rendering it unable to budge no matter how much it struggled.

This stunned the Snivy behind him.

My Trainer, capturing a Spearow barehanded?

Could he have captured me barehanded back then too?

"You ill-tempered fellow, trying to steal food and then attack someone?"

Lin Feng chuckled. He had originally intended to keep this Spearow or Pidgeotto as flying support for his plantation, to patrol areas Milotic couldn't see.

After all, Milotic was ultimately a Pokémon that swam in water.

Now, it seemed, this Spearow couldn't be kept.

After recalling the Spearow with a Poké Ball, Lin Feng finally set his sights on the Pidgeotto.

[Pokémon: Pidgeotto]

[Gender: Male]

[Ability: Keen Eye]

[Aptitude: Blue]

[Individual Values: HP (21) Attack (21) Special Attack (18) Defense (17) Special Defense (17) Speed (23)]

[Strength: Level 17-19]

[Skills: Gust, Tackle, Quick Attack, Whirlwind, Air Slash, Steel Wing.]

[Affection: 0 (It doesn't know what you're planning.)]

[Joy Value: -5 (Never risk catching Rattata from human territory again.)]

A Pidgeotto with good aptitude.

This was Lin Feng's assessment after viewing its status.

"Pidgey~!"

Compared to Spearow's ferocity, Pidgeotto was much more docile.

"Pidgey, Pidgey!" It flapped its wings, indicating that it had only flown down because it saw the Rattata, not because it wanted to steal the plants below.

"Hmm, I understand."

Pidgeotto preying on Rattata, while rare in the Pokémon world, did happen.

However, the fact that it risked entering human territory to prey on Rattata indicated it was very hungry.

So...

Lin Feng took out a Stamina Energy Cube and transferred Evergreen Power. "Pidgeotto, are you willing to live with me? Room and board are provided. All you need to do is check on the plantation daily and prevent Rattata from entering..."

As for these Rattata, he could only sell them to The League...

Chapter 36: How Strong is Strong Enough?

"Pidgey?"

Pidgeotto looked at the Energy Cube in Lin Feng's hand, its mouth watering uncontrollably.

But it still held back, tentatively asking, "Pidgey..." (Can you help me become stronger?)

"Hm?"

This question surprised Lin Feng, who then asked, "How strong is strong enough?"

"Pidgey... Pidgey!" (A Spearow in the forest evolved into a Pidgeot, took over our territory, and injured many of our kin!)

Pidgeotto said indignantly.

Its territory was taken, it was forced to leave its home, and it was starving.
