Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Throwing Off the Burden
A/N:2/2 Bonus Chapters
-----------------------
With Julian being this enthusiastic, Milotic felt a little embarrassed to refuse.
Octavius also spoke.
"Milotic, stay and try it. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!"
After Milotic appeared in the Safari Zone, she and Octavius, the warden, had quickly built a pretty good relationship.
With Octavius helping Julian speak, Milotic agreed to stay and try.
Milotic was also part of the Dragon Egg Group, so Julian could let Milotic try Hakamo-o’s food.
Julian poured a plate for Milotic. Milotic tasted it, and it really did taste excellent.
Julian treated Croagunk and poured him a plate of food as well.
Julian rubbed Croagunk’s head and smiled.
"Croagunk, your performance today was excellent!"
He had finally repaid Croagunk for comforting him earlier.
Croagunk pushed Julian’s hand away and sighed.
"Gunk?"
Could he just let him eat quietly?
Julian increased his effort.
"What? As your Trainer, I can’t even touch you?"
Croagunk rolled his eyes and silently ate his food.
At times like this, the more you responded to him, the more energetic he became.
Croagunk chose to handle it coldly.
Watching Julian and Croagunk interact, a surge of resentment flashed through Milotic’s eyes.
She sped up her eating. Once she finished, Milotic planned to leave.
Julian approached her again.
"Milotic, there’s something I’d like to ask you for help with. Let’s talk over there."
After going to the side with Milotic, Julian quietly said, "I know you were once hurt by a human Trainer, Milotic. But you were incredible. You walked out of it yourself."
"You worked hard to improve yourself and evolved into the most beautiful Milotic in the world, proving that person made the wrong choice."
Milotic was somewhat surprised.
How did he know about her?
Then came resistance. No one would be happy after having an unbearable past uncovered.
Julian quickly placed his hand over his heart.
"Aura is within my heart."
Julian transmitted his emotions to Milotic.
Milotic learned that Julian was doing this for Croagunk, and that Croagunk had also once been abandoned.
But because Croagunk was not as good as Milotic at resolving emotions on his own...
That incident had become like a thorn that remained buried in Croagunk’s heart, creating increasingly harmful effects.
"I hope you can help me guide Croagunk. At the same time, I also hope you can let go of the past and begin a new life."
Milotic had walked out of it, but she had not completely let go.
Helping Croagunk this time would also be an opportunity for Milotic to understand herself.
Milotic nodded. For Croagunk, who had suffered the same kind of pain, Milotic was very willing to help.
Being able to meet such a good Trainer as Julian meant Croagunk was much luckier than she had been back then.
Julian and Milotic returned. Milotic used her tail to beckon Croagunk.
"Milotic~"
Croagunk was somewhat surprised.
What did he and Milotic have to talk about?
Octavius blinked.
"Gym Leader Veyne, this... are you planning to catch Milotic? Why do I feel like something isn’t right?"
Julian smiled.
"You can treat it as a unique method of catching Pokémon that I’ve mastered."
Milotic’s scales released rose-red light that shone over Croagunk.
This was Milotic’s special ability, allowing people and Pokémon to become peaceful in mind.
Within the rose-red light, Milotic began telling Croagunk about her past.
The reasons people liked Pokémon were strange and varied.
The reasons they abandoned Pokémon were always the same.
Not strong enough.
Too weak!
After being comforted by Milotic, the light of evolution appeared around Croagunk’s body again.
But the white light only lasted for a while, then ultimately dispersed.
Milotic smiled.
"Milotic~"
She waved her tail and said goodbye to Croagunk, then turned and returned to the lake.
Octavius shrugged.
"Didn’t you say this was your unique method of catching Pokémon? Why did you let Milotic run off just like that?"
Julian smiled.
"No rush. Milotic isn’t that easy to catch."
Maylene suddenly appeared, standing in the distance and waving at Julian.
"Brother!"
Maylene strode over.
"Brother, weren’t you watching Salamence? Why did you run over here?"
Paul calmly said, "She heard another Trainer who came to catch Pokémon say that there was a Milotic in this lake, so she planned to come and catch it."
"She completely failed to consider how low the possibility of catching Milotic with a Safari Ball would be. According to that Trainer, many people know there’s a Milotic in this lake."
"But not a single person has successfully caught her."
Maylene rolled her eyes.
"Even if I can’t succeed, Milotic is the most beautiful Pokémon. Just seeing her is worth it!"
Julian smiled.
"Then you came at an unfortunate time. Milotic just went back."
Maylene immediately shouted towards the lake.
"Milotic, can you come out for a moment?"
Hearing the call, Milotic revealed herself from the lake.
Maylene excitedly patted Paul’s shoulder.
"Paul, look! Milotic! So pretty!"
He quickly shifted his feet and avoided Maylene’s descending palm.
Paul’s physique was pretty good, but when Maylene’s hand landed, his shoulder still felt numb.
Watching her slam Rhyhorn down had only made him feel that she was strong.
Now that she had patted his shoulder, Paul had a clear understanding of her strength.
Maylene’s admiration was very pleasing to Milotic.
She took the initiative to swim two circles in the lake. She even leapt out of the water, fully displaying her beautiful figure in front of Maylene.
Maylene was extremely supportive. As Milotic moved, she let out cheers louder and louder each time.
A performance only became interesting when there was an audience as enthusiastic as Maylene.
Before Milotic entered the water, Maylene happily waved frantically.
"Milotic, goodbye!"
On the way back to Salamence’s territory, Octavius sighed.
"I introduced you to so many Pokémon, but in the end, you didn’t catch a single one."
Julian explained, "It isn’t that I won’t catch them. The time simply hasn’t arrived yet."
Hisuian Goodra.
Milotic.
Who would not love them?
When they returned to Salamence’s territory, they discovered Salamence and Primeape had started fighting.
Primeape liked battling strong opponents.
Salamence likewise liked using battle to vent her abundant energy.
Salamence had only just recovered, yet she and Primeape had already taken a liking to each other.
They directly started fighting.
Gallade and Hakamo-o were somewhat helpless, but they could not exactly stop them.
When Julian returned, he happened to see Primeape being overwhelmed by Salamence’s Dragon Rush and its wild power.
When dealing with Primeape, one had to use overwhelming force to finish him in a single strike, giving Primeape no chance to stack his rage.
Through Primeape’s performance, Salamence was completely reassured about handing Bagon to Julian.
In Julian’s hands, he would definitely develop well.
As soon as Julian returned, Salamence used her tail to wrap up Bagon and once again stuffed him into Julian’s arms.
During the time she had been looking after Bagon, Salamence had gone from three fights a day to one fight a day, sometimes even only two fights every three days.
Salamence had long since been close to losing patience.
Now that she had confirmed Julian was a good person and an excellent Trainer...
She dumped Bagon onto Julian, and she could finally travel light.
Salamence directly took flight, planning to eat some of her favourite Berries, then go harass Goodra.
Salamence’s emotions left Julian completely at a loss.
This was the first time he had learned that a mother could dislike her child this much.
