Family "Younger Brother" Status

Meanwhile.

Baimu brought Aggron and Chansey before Steelix.

The latter slightly lifted his eyelids, and his body trembled faintly when he saw Aggron.

Clearly, this massive creature had already developed a fear of the great monster. The instinctive system of the weak submitting to the strong had successfully kicked in.

That made Baimu breathe a small sigh of relief.

What he feared most was Steelix stubbornly refusing to admit defeat.

A one-on-one head-on clash had indeed been the right choice. If a group had ganged up on Steelix, then even if they won, this guy probably would not have truly accepted it.

"Mm... sorry about that. I let you out and immediately beat you up again, but it looks like you understand now that we're not easy targets."

He began taking a softer approach, stuffing Berries into Steelix's mouth while signaling to Chansey with his eyes.

Chansey circled around Steelix's front. While Baimu stroked him, she quietly used Heal Pulse, restoring his lost stamina and some of his injuries.

Feeling the gentle touch atop his head and chewing the Berries, Steelix gradually felt a comfortable warmth rise through his body. His mood quickly relaxed.

"Roar..."

"You must be hungry, right? Try this too."

Baimu took out the Shining Cuisine he had prepared beforehand and stuffed it into Steelix's mouth.

Steelix's teeth looked neat and attractive when his mouth was closed, but when he opened it, the teeth were arranged in upper and lower rows, with one tooth missing between each—like he had gaps in his teeth.

It was honestly a little comical.

After being thoroughly beaten up, Steelix was indeed somewhat hungry. Smelling the food, he eagerly began to eat.

Unfortunately, there was far too little to fill his stomach.

He cautiously glanced at Aggron, then revealed a longing look.
