Even an Arrogant Taillow Will Act Like a Puppy and Beg for Affection When It Finds the Right Trainer!

"Cherish the present."

Ye Yinchuan quickly pulled himself out of his sadness.

And he cherished everything he had now even more.

Pokémon lifespans varied by species.

Rodent Pokémon like Pikachu generally lived for more than twenty years.

But one thing was certain.

The stronger a Pokémon was, and the more Advanced Grade its Evolutionary Form, the longer its lifespan would be.

Not just its lifespan, but its health and resistance to disease as well.

Perhaps it could all be summed up as life force.

A Pichu that could not evolve was certainly more fragile than a Pikachu.

That was the importance of cultivation and training.

Humans were much the same.

Between a sickly person who never exercised and a fitness enthusiast who worked out regularly, the latter would certainly be healthier and live longer.

Little Snorlax's lifespan was roughly that of a captive bear, around forty to fifty years.

But if it underwent cultivation and training, absorbing enough Pokémon Energy, that could be extended two or three times over.

And if it evolved into Snorlax, it could be increased even further...

"Damn, maybe I'll be gone while Little Snorlax is still around. One Pokémon outlives three generations—man's gone, but the beast remains!"

After giving it some thought, Ye Yinchuan suddenly realized that he did not need to worry about Little Snorlax's lifespan for now. He ought to worry about his own first.

Ye Yinchuan believed that people should be farsighted, but they still had to live in the present.

Worrying too much about things that were too far away would only become a form of
