Ye Qing took the TM. "Explosion? All right, thanks."
"Huh?"
The moment Gengar heard it was Explosion, he froze.
Explosion was nothing good!
Now it was Garchomp's turn to laugh. Explosion hurt the user almost as much as the enemy, making it perfect for a little bastard like Gengar.
"All right, stop fooling around."
Ye Qing hadn't forgotten he still had a captive. He told Infernape to close the gate while Gardevoir and Garchomp sealed off the sky.
"Roar..."
White light flashed, and a weak roar sounded as the battered Salamence appeared before everyone again.
A broad, thick back, a powerful, thick tail, sturdy limbs, and enormous wings.
Because Ye Qing had turned off the Healing Spray inside this Black Ball beforehand, Salamence's injuries still hadn't improved.
"Garchomp!"
Looking at Garchomp idling nearby, Ye Qing called out loudly.
"Sand Bite!"
Garchomp hurriedly answered, though he felt his trainer was up to no good.
Ye Qing cleared his throat. "Ahem. Salamence is your responsibility for now. If you let her escape, you'll answer to me!"
"Sand Bite?"
Garchomp pointed at Salamence lying on the ground, then at himself, thinking, I don't know how to look after anyone either.
Besides, this Salamence is female. Don't you know males and females shouldn't get too close?
"Here."
Ye Qing didn't care what Garchomp thought. With a flick of his hand, he tossed him a bottle of Healing Spray.
"Sand Bite..."
Garchomp stood there blankly, looking at Salamence lying weakly on the ground, at a loss for what to do.
Take your time building a bond.
The corners of Ye Qing's mouth lifted. He was already imagining the future Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Eggs.
An egg from Little Shark and Salamence ought to be pretty good.
At this rate, if he got himself a few more Pseudo-Legendary
