As Chen Shi finished speaking...
Shate, Aji, and the other five froze.
He just wanted to ask them a few questions, not kill them?
Were there really people this kind on the continent?
Shate recovered and said respectfully, "Sir, please ask whatever you like. I've lived here since I was little. If I know the answer, I'll definitely tell you."
Chen Shi nodded. "Where did that Bagon at your feet come from?"
By all rights, Bagon shouldn't have appeared in the Hisui Region.
A Pokémon like Goomy or Gible wouldn't have been strange.
Even seeing a Dratini wouldn't have surprised Chen Shi.
But since when had there been Bagon in the Hisui Region?
Something felt off.
Hearing Chen Shi's question, Shate instinctively looked down and saw Little Blue baring its teeth at Dragapult.
It looked thoroughly defiant.
Chen Shi found it rather amusing. "Dreepy, look at that. This little dragon has quite a personality."
Dragapult glanced at Bagon and scoffed.
A personality?
As far as Dreepy was concerned, this Bagon was simply stupid.
Faced with an opponent it couldn't possibly resist, it actually dared to bare its teeth instead of figuring out how to stay alive.
It was just lucky it had run into Dreepy and Little Shi.
Had it encountered some other wild Pokémon, this Bagon would have been eaten long ago.
Shate was clever enough to realize Chen Shi was probably asking about Little Blue, so he replied, "Sir, I happened to rescue this magical beast nearby last month."
"I didn't know it was called Bagon."
"Magical beast?" Hearing that term, Chen Shi shook his head with a chuckle.
He had heard before that Pokémon were called magical beasts in ancient times. He hadn't expected it to be true.
Still, this man named Shate had happened to rescue
