Capture!

Tragically, the Zubat leader's shout, instead of causing any harm, actually put immense psychological pressure on the Zubat nearby.

The Zubat with the Inner Focus Ability at the menacing Misdreavus beside it, the terrifying Powder bomber overhead, and the Beedrill forcing its leader to hide. It made a decision: Zubat's revenge is never too late. Time to run!

That's right. It plans to go back and seize the position of leader of the Zubat first, then bring the clan back to take revenge. After that, it will rescue this bitter and vengeful clansman and make him its concubine. As for the position of the principal wife, it still needs to consider that.

Therefore, even the Zubat with their Inner Focus Ability, after assessing the situation, immediately flew swiftly into the depths of the cave.

After glancing at them, Dian didn't stop them. It didn't matter if the two Zubat were going to get reinforcements; by the time they returned, it would be too late.

This Zubat leader had long been trained by him, and as one of his henchmen, he dedicated his life to his grand Ideals.

Beedrill was rapidly expending the Zubat leader's stamina, but the opponent was also extremely fast and focused on dodging, making it difficult for even Beedrill to hit it. This was precisely what Beedrill was aiming for.

Normally, I only deal with inanimate objects, so I didn't notice any problems during training. However, during the battle with this Zubat leader, I discovered many issues that I had overlooked. It was an excellent sparring partner.

However, for some reason, the other party suddenly froze as if under Confusion, with only its two wings still flapping instinctively.

The Zubat leader is now utterly despondent.

It ran away, slipped away, darted away, escaped—that's all that's going on in its mind right now.

All that talk about relying on your own people, about unity being strength, about a leader protecting their people—it's all a lie!!

If this Zubat were from another time and could talk, it might be shouting "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me" right now.

The Misdreavus silently extended several shadows and bound the Zubat leader, only to find that the leader did not react at all.

"Hey?"

The Hoppip also floated down in confusion, circling around the Zubat leader, who seemed to have been drained of its spirit by reality. Its mind was full of question marks.

The Beedrill sighed, shook its head, and said, "Poor thing."

Having lived within a class-based community, he may never have been a leader, but the experience must have been unpleasant.

Protected by the Shadow Barrier of the Misdreavus, the palace slowly approached the Zubat leader, which seemed to have become a plant.

He waved his hand, but there was no response...

He gently touched the other person's abdomen; it was quite Limber.

Snap!

The Zubat stopped flapping its wings and fell onto the Ground-type.

In an instant, Dian understood what it meant to be Sunny Day, and felt utterly hopeless.

It's likely that this Zubat leader, having suffered such a blow, will eventually hide in some cave and live out its remaining days as a caveman, even if it returns to its former glory.

Dian touched the other person with a branch and found that the other person still had an attitude of "do whatever you want, I don't care at all."

"Well..."

He hadn't expected this Zubat to be so gentle. He examined its white fangs closely and found them to be unusually small and long, indicating it was likely a female Zubat.

Yes, a weaker version of Wu Zubat, no problem.

Dian immediately took out two Poké Ball from his backpack.

If one dose doesn't work, Paralysis, put to Sleep, or knock out the enemy, Encore.

He threw the Poké Ball at Zubat, and immediately a red envelope appeared and swallowed it.

To be fair, Ash received a pretty good education, after all, throwing Poké Ball is a skill in itself.

If you throw it at something else, it will ruin a Poké Ball instantly.

Because ordinary Poké Ball don't have any sensor function, they can capture non-Pokémon objects, such as rice balls. As for whether they can capture humans... I'd love to try it out, but I don't have the financial means right now, so I'll pass.

The palace official was puzzled by the lack of sound. He looked down and saw that the Zubat hadn't even struggled; it had been captured without a second thought. This was truly a case of utter despair.

He'll probably have to give this Zubat some talking-to later.

Sigh... Trainer isn't easy; sometimes you even have to act as a psychologist.

They have no one to take care of their own physical and mental health issues, and they also have to take care of Pokémon.

No wonder some Trainer have rather eccentric temperaments; it's understandable, they're all forced into it.

"Come out, Zubat."

Adhering to the good habit of solving problems without delay, the deity prepared to release Zubat.

Then...

The Poké Ball in his hand didn't even budge; the other person completely ignored him.

Dian's face quickly darkened. Holy crap, this is even less respectful than Ash's Charizard. At least when someone is called, they come out and answer, whether they actually do any work is another matter.

His Zubat, on the other hand, didn't even bother to come out, letting his attitude speak for itself.

Pokémon that don't come in Poké Ball probably wouldn't sell.

How much of a shut-in can one become like this?

Dian's joy at capturing the new Pokémon quickly turned to frustration. This patient was difficult to handle; could he be replaced?!

"Never mind, let's find a place to rest first."

After looking around, Dian found no suitable place to camp.

"Beedrill, go find a suitable place."

He picked up the Hoppip, brushed off the powder from its leaves, and sprayed it with water.

After realizing that everything was alright, Misdreavus snatched the Poké Ball from Dian's hand and started playing with it.

She had long sensed the emotions emanating from this place; they were unlike anything she had ever seen before, and seemed extremely peculiar.

"Dream?"

Misdreavus held the Poké Ball in her hand, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She seemed to have grasped something, yet it was as if she hadn't grasped anything at all.

She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then, then, Misdreavus got annoyed with thinking, so she started pulling her Trainer's hair.

Dian sighed, realizing he was one step closer to baldness.

He could foresee how radiant and dazzling he would become in the future.

Buzz.

After Beedrill returned, Dian once again boarded the Misdreavus Flight and headed towards the lake.

Life in the cave probably isn't great, so I'll take advantage of the time in the Forest and eat the Azisa made.

Actually, Instant Ramen is an option, but the problem is that Dian's backpack is a cheap one and can't hold much. When I have more money in the future, I definitely want to get a bigger backpack.
