Although there were many things to do, Kawaki decided to tackle them one by one.
Swellow didn't know when it would be able to invite Latias and Latios to the Breeding House to taste apple pie, so that matter was temporarily put on hold.
Since Ralts and the others couldn't communicate, all Kawaki could do for now was provide them with meticulous care and companionship.
As for Steven, everything had to wait until his Metang evolved into Metagross before it could officially begin.
And the matter of Evergreen Power required a gradual approach; collecting one hundred Viridian Power Shards was necessary to gather a complete Evergreen Power, and this matter couldn't be rushed.
Therefore, the most important thing right now was the Bagon.
It was crucial to bring that Pokémon back to the Breeding House as soon as possible; it would be troublesome if he went too late and another Trainer captured it first.
The Bagon's location was clearly imprinted in Kawaki's mind. He looked left and right outside, saw no customers,
so he simply closed the shop door, took Bewear, and prepared to head to Meteor Falls.
Growlithe, Gastly, and the others were left behind by Kawaki in the Breeding House.
Before leaving, Kawaki instructed, "Growlithe, remember to help me protect everyone!"
"Woof!" Growlithe nodded its head with determined eyes.
"Also, if you encounter bad guys, do you remember what to do?" Kawaki then turned his gaze to the group of Pokémon beside him:
At this moment, Clefairy, Gastly, Chingling, and Bulbasaur had all come to see him and Bewear off.
Upon hearing this, Clefairy's faces were filled with fighting spirit.
"Clefairy!"
Immediately after, their bodies began to glow.
Kawaki had told them that if they encountered bad guys, they should all use their most powerful moves to defeat them!
Seeing this, Kawaki nodded in satisfaction: "Good, then it's settled. You all stay inside the house, don't open the door for anyone who knocks. Bewear and I will be back soon."
"Clefairy~!"
"Gengar!"
"..."
The group of Pokémon all agreed.
Kawaki closed them inside the hall, then locked the doors and windows from the outside. Before leaving, he saw the group of Pokémon huddled together at the window, staring blankly at him.
He smiled and waved at them, and the Pokémon immediately broke into happy smiles.
So cute!
Having such a cute group of Pokémon waiting for him at home made it hard not to feel warm inside.
"Let's go, Bewear, let's be quick!" Kawaki said.
"Goo~"
Bewear happily agreed. It picked up Kawaki and immediately began to sprint towards Meteor Falls.
However, the man and the Bewear hadn't run far when Bewear suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong, Bewear?" Kawaki was stunned, a little surprised.
"Goo..."
He followed Bewear's gaze and then saw a fallen Pokémon in a patch of grass by the roadside.
It was a Pokémon that resembled a chameleon, entirely green with red markings on its belly and a curled tail.
Was that Pokémon a Kecleon?
Kawaki got down from Bewear and immediately went forward to carefully check the Kecleon's condition.
"So it's injured!" Kawaki called out, "Bewear, bring me the medicine pouch!"
Bewear took off the small bag from its body, which Kawaki had brought specifically for treating the Bagon.
After all, it was impossible to lure a Pokémon of that temperament with food; only by proving one's strength could one gain their recognition.
Kawaki took out a healing potion from the medicine pouch and poured it into the Kecleon's mouth.
In a short while, this wild Kecleon opened its eyes.
At first, it looked at the human in front of it with some vigilance.
But when it saw the potion in the human's hand, it immediately realized that they had helped it.
"You need to be more careful in the future, Kecleon." Kawaki then casually took out a few Energy Cubes from his bag: "Take these back and eat them!"
These were also prepared by him to get closer to the Bagon.
Kecleon took them, sniffed the scent, and couldn't help but swallow.
"We still have things to do, so we'll be going now. You be careful, Kecleon!"
Kawaki stood up, waved to Kecleon with Bewear, and then turned and left.
Kecleon watched their retreating figures gratefully, then lowered its head and quickly ate the food in its hand. Not long after Kawaki continued forward, a line of text suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Kecleon's mood improved, Happiness +70! Received Kecleon's gift: Forest's Bounty]
[Forest's Bounty: You selflessly helped the wild Pokémon living in this forest and gained the forest's attention. Nature, to thank you for saving its inhabitants, has given you a gift: "Viridian Power Shard x1". Help more wild Pokémon and gain the forest's attention, and perhaps it will give you more bounties.]
[Viridian Power Shard: A gift containing the power of nature. It is said that those who obtain this power will receive the favor of the forest, be able to feel the thoughts of Pokémon, communicate with them, and borrow the power of nature to heal their injuries. Collect 100 shards to synthesize a complete Evergreen Power. Current collection progress: 2/100.]
Looking at the text before him, Kawaki paused slightly.
Was this an unexpected gain?
"When I get back, I'll call Xiao Chun Jie to ask what procedures are needed to become a Ranger," Kawaki thought.
Since the Breeding House was open and the inn was running, adding a Ranger position wouldn't be a problem.
If Jenny asked later, he would say it was inheriting his original father's last wish.
Kawaki had a plan in his mind.
Led by Bewear, the man and the Bewear quickly arrived at the area where the Bagon was located.
According to the information and location provided by that Bagon, this Bagon did not live within Meteor Falls, but rather in a dense forest on the outskirts of Meteor Falls.
As Kawaki stood on the grass, looking at the vast forest before him, a familiar feeling suddenly surged in his mind.
It was as if he had been here before, and in his mind, the path to the Bagon's habitat clearly appeared.
Kawaki looked towards the twelve o'clock direction and thought, "Here."
He walked a distance forward, passed through the dense bushes, and soon arrived before a tall waterfall.
The waterfall cascaded down from the cliff, converging into a river that flowed into the distance.
And below the waterfall, sure enough, stood a small dragon Pokémon with a hard head and a blue body.
Bagon, it appeared!
That Bagon's attention was entirely focused on the waterfall before it.
It watched the top with full concentration. Under Kawaki's gaze, the Bagon moved.
It quickly leaped upwards along the protruding rocks on the cliff, and after a great deal of effort, the Bagon finally jumped to the top of the cliff.
Then, without hesitation, it leaped down from above.
