Gouging Fire and the others adapted far better than imagined.
At the very least, after nearly a week on Platinum Silver Mountain, they could count the number of fights they had had on one hand.
According to the Porygon Phone's records—
Walking Wake had fought three times: once against wild Pokémon and twice against Hydreigon.
Raging Bolt had fought once, against a flock of Starly that had accidentally passed by.
Gouging Fire had not fought at all. The big lion spent every day sleeping with its head down. If Baimu brought it food, it ate; if he did not, it slept, like a perpetually dormant volcano.
Compared to them, Koraidon and Flutter Mane had fought much more often. The savage giant lizard in particular had not only fought Miraidon, but had also fought nearly every one of Baimu's main Pokémon.
Then it fought Calyrex and the other Legendary Pokémon as well.
Its thirst for battle had completely surpassed Miraidon's former self, and it had even caused enough trouble with Hydreigon that the nights had once been anything but peaceful.
Having left Area Zero, it had thoroughly unleashed its nature.
Baimu had not restricted Koraidon's range of activity, only requiring it to stay away from areas where humans gathered. It could run wherever it wanted otherwise.
Koraidon obediently did as instructed.
This gave Miraidon, which had been secretly following it, no chance to pick a fight. It could hardly believe that such a savage fellow was actually so obedient.
The Porygon Phone found this strange as well. Although the recovered Poké Balls were in Baimu's hands, Pokémon did not obey whoever held their ball.
"Maybe it's an instinct similar to Cyclizar's."
Baimu did not care much.
Cyclizar had been among the first Pokémon in the Paldea Region to cooperate with humans.
