Upon hearing this, a hint of reluctance appeared on the girl's face, but she quickly seemed to make up her mind, nodding and replying, "I'm sure!"
"Awwoo!"
Bagon shook its head repeatedly, unwilling to part with the girl in front of it.
Seeing this, the girl named Xiao Chun looked troubled and then whispered, "Be good, Little Dragon! I'll come back here to find you once I get rid of those bad guys!"
Bad guys? Kawaki was a little surprised.
However, upon hearing this, the Pokémon immediately became more anxious.
Kawaki noticed that its mood began to shift from bad to worried and anxious.
"It's very worried about you." Kawaki was a little surprised, and after a brief thought, he still asked, "I just heard you mention bad guys, did something happen?"
Xiao Chun looked at the owner in front of her, recalling how he had interacted with the Pokémon in the Breeding House over the past two days, and how he had rescued that Zigzagoon.
She opened her mouth, and finally chose to speak:
"Actually... Little Dragon isn't my Pokémon."
Kawaki raised an eyebrow, motioning for her to continue.
The girl: "My name is Xiao Chun, and I'm a Trainer who started my journey from Littleroot Town. Not long ago, while traveling through a forest, I discovered Pokémon Hunters capturing Pokémon there."
"Little Dragon was one of them... I took advantage of the Pokémon Hunters' inattention, had my Beautifly use Sleep Powder on them, and then quietly released the captured Pokémon."
"After that, I've been on the run with Little Dragon, because Little Dragon is very rare, and those Pokémon Hunters weren't willing to let us go. They've been following us, tracking us. Yesterday at Meteor Falls, we finally shook them off, but for some reason, they always manage to find our location."
Upon hearing this, Kawaki immediately realized something.
He quickly took Bagon out of his bag and, under the girl's puzzled gaze, carefully examined its body.
As expected, Kawaki quickly found a small tracker on an inconspicuous part of Bagon's body.
Seeing this, Xiao Chun's expression changed.
Kawaki, however, said, "Just as I thought, this Bagon has a tracker installed on it."
"No wonder!" Xiao Chun's face was a little pale. No wonder those Pokémon Hunters always managed to find her and Little Dragon's location.
Pokémon Hunters... This kind of thing is something a little girl can't handle alone. Kawaki thought for a moment and asked with some doubt:
"Why don't you call the police? I happen to know Jenny from nearby Fallarbor Town. Perhaps she can help you."
"Calling the police..." Xiao Chun shook her head: "It's no use. I tried calling the police when I was in Rustboro City before, but those Pokémon Hunters are elusive. When they found out I called the police, they immediately vanished without a trace. Jenny investigated for several days but had no results."
"Jenny can't always stay with us, and I can't stay in the same city forever, so..."
Because she is a traveling Trainer, she needs to go to various places in Hoenn to challenge Gyms and collect badges.
Therefore, the best method she could think of was to secretly entrust Little Dragon to someone else's care, and she would lead the Pokémon Hunters away herself.
But now, it seemed impossible.
Little Dragon has a tracker on it, and those bad guys will be here soon!
"Now there's a way." Kawaki looked at the tracker in his hand. He knew the nature of Pokémon Hunters in this world and couldn't just stand by and watch such a young girl face Pokémon Hunters alone.
"Eh?!" Xiao Chun was a little bewildered.
Currently, there are two solutions. The first is to install this tracker on a flying bird Pokémon, let it carry the tracker away from Fallarbor Town, and fly to the sea or other regions, thereby misleading the Pokémon Hunters.
The second is to use this tracker to seize the opportunity to capture the Pokémon Hunters.
He thought that those Pokémon Hunters might continue to capture other Pokémon after leaving.
Kawaki unhesitatingly turned and dialed the Fallarbor Town police station's number on the Breeding House phone.
The laws of this world are very strict regarding the punishment of Pokémon Hunters.
Because that does not conform to the main theme of the various Pokémon Leagues.
Once caught, the culprits will face prison sentences ranging from ten to fifty years in an offshore prison, and in more severe cases, they may even be sentenced to life imprisonment.
The phone rang a few times.
Soon, Junsha Chun's voice came from the other end.
"This is the Fallarbor Town Police Station, I am the officer stationed here, Junsha Chun, how may I help you?"
"Xiao Chun Jie, it's me, Kawaki. I've encountered a Trainer being tracked by Pokémon Hunters. Her Pokémon has a tracking device installed, and I think those Pokémon Hunters will be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Junsha Chun's tone suddenly became serious.
"Be careful, I'll be right there!"
With that, Junsha Chun left the police station, got on her motorcycle, floored the accelerator, and headed straight for Kawaki's Breeding House.
"Alright, Jenny from Fallarbor Town is already on her way here." Kawaki turned to Xiao Chun and said.
"I'm so sorry!" Xiao Chun quickly bowed in thanks: "I've caused you trouble!"
"You're welcome." Kawaki smiled and shook his head. He turned to look at Bagon.
It seemed to realize that it no longer had to be separated from Xiao Chun, and Bagon's pleasure value and mood immediately began to rise at a visible speed.
Even its affection for Kawaki increased from 0 to 20.
Immediately after, a line of text appeared before Kawaki's eyes.
[Bagon's mood has risen, pleasure value +130! Obtained Bagon's gift: Bagon's Habitat.]
[Bagon's Habitat: The dwelling place of the Dragon-type Pokémon Bagon. A Bagon lives there alone. Your actions touched Bagon, and it gave you its companion's habitat as a gift.]
The text did not stop. After Bagon's gift, Xiao Chun's gift followed closely.
[Xiao Chun's mood has risen, pleasure value +70, obtained Xiao Chun's gift: Dragon-type Pokémon Affinity.]
[Dragon-type Pokémon Affinity: Innately possesses an affinity for Dragon-type Pokémon. Dragon-type Pokémon will more easily become friendly with you. You helped Xiao Chun, and Xiao Chun gave you this talent as a gift.]
Kawaki: "?"
He watched as Bagon affectionately nestled into Xiao Chun's arms, the person and Pokémon eagerly celebrating their newfound safety, and the text that appeared before his eyes, and he instantly froze in place.
Bagon's Habitat and Dragon-type Pokémon Affinity?
Kawaki's mind stirred.
He remembered that among the Mega Stones Steven had given him earlier, there was the ite corresponding to Salamence.
Could it be... he could also have a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution?!
