Ye Lan carefully set the little Cacnea, whose body was covered in spikes, beside Marshadow and asked Marshadow to return the little one to its parents.
After Cacnea evolved into Cacturne, its spikes were said to carry a nerve toxin that caused excruciating pain whenever they pierced the skin.
Although Cacnea's spikes still looked soft and floppy, they had already begun developing some toxicity. Ye Lan had no masochistic tendencies, nor did he want any trouble, so it was best to send these little ones home sooner rather than later.
Before they left, every Cacnea held a piece of Pokémon Candy in its arms. Hopefully, their parents wouldn't be angry and would simply treat it as their children having gone off to kindergarten.
With everything ready, sand pits of various sizes appeared across the relatively flat stretch of sand under Ye Lan's direction.
As time passed, enticing aromas seeped out of the buried pits, delighting the Bunashicao and Nashicao waiting beside each one for their dinners. They swayed excitedly from side to side.
The green-haired young human before them really hadn't lied. They had never made or smelled anything like this in the desert. It certainly seemed much tastier than life energy.
Seeing all the Pokémon waiting expectantly beside their own pits, Ye Lan sat down on the sand and produced a palm-sized notebook out of thin air. He took a fountain pen from its other side and began recording his encounter with the Nashicao colony that day.
Ye Lan's actions alone made it clear that this was no ordinary notebook, but an item produced by the system.
It was an ungraded item that had appeared out of nowhere in his system inventory after the system's upgrade.
