At the entrance to the Jubilife Breeding Center.
The police Arcanine was having a very serious conversation with Farfetch'd.
Farfetch'd was very curious about the police Arcanine.
Why did Li Wei's Arcanine run freely across the open fields, while the police Arcanine only went out for walks with Li Wei?
Was it because he didn't want to move?
"Far! Fetch?"
(Don't you get bored just staying here?)
"Awooo!"
(No!)
The police Arcanine had once been the finest police dog in an elite unit and had carried out all kinds of missions. Assignments that required him to stand guard all day had been commonplace.
By comparison, guarding the Breeding Center's entrance and protecting its staff was almost too easy.
When it got hot, he could enjoy the air conditioning in the security booth, and Arcanine had never encountered any particularly troublesome criminals.
"Far!"
Farfetch'd didn't understand.
(Why would guarding the gate make you happy?)
"Awooo!"
Arcanine shook his head.
It wasn't about guarding the gate. It was about protecting everyone.
Arcanine had already promised Li Wei.
He would protect everyone.
(Protecting everyone, huh? I get it.)
Farfetch'd was gradually finding meaning in his life as a duck.
Duckling was slowly finding the right direction.
He wanted to fight, but he needed a reason to fight. Perhaps Duckling still needed some time to figure that out.
The sun sank in the west.
Farfetch'd's bizarre adventure came to an end.
That evening, in the room.
"Were you looking for a reason to fight today?"
Over dinner, Li Wei had heard from quite a few people that Farfetch'd had been wandering all over the place that day.
Nobody knew quite what he had been doing.
But he had certainly done something worthwhile.
Professor Rowan had even come over specifically to thank Duckling.
