Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Baby Dragon in the Forest

"Gugu!" That Pokémon was going to commit suicide!

Bewear was startled when it saw the Pokémon's actions.

Kawaki was also initially shocked, but he quickly reacted.

This was the ecological habit of the Pokémon Bagon!

Bagon, the Hard Head Pokémon.

Influenced by some information in its genes, it constantly dreams of soaring in the sky. Every day, it practices flying by jumping from high places, using this method to train its body.

Until the moment it grows wings and can soar high in the sky.

"Don't worry, Bewear, that's a unique training method for Bagon," Kawaki said.

Hearing this, Bewear looked closely and indeed saw the Pokémon's head hit the ground with a thud, creating a large crater.

Yet, it was completely unharmed.

"Gugu—" Bewear was surprised. There was actually such a Pokémon in this world. So amazing!

The next second, it saw the Bagon struggling wildly, constantly flapping its short legs.

Its hard head was stuck in the ground and couldn't be pulled out!

Kawaki:

6...

Bewear:

66....

It took back what it had just said.

Kawaki glanced casually, and the Bagon's information appeared before him.

[Pokémon: Bagon]

[Gender: Male]

[Ability: Rock Head]

[Moves: Glare, Ember, Bite, Dragon Breath, Headbutt]

[Status: Healthy]

[Mood: Anxious, Confused]

[Happiness: 0]

[Friendship: 0 (You are strangers in this world)]

[Description: Stupid head, get out! —Bagon.]

After struggling for a while and seeing no results, Bagon seemed to give up, its entire body powerlessly stuck in the ground, only its bulging belly constantly rising and falling.

Kawaki then walked forward, pretending not to have seen the previous scene, and feigned surprise, saying, "Oh? How is there a Pokémon here?!"

Hearing someone approach, the Bagon, which had stopped struggling, began to struggle violently again.

"Don't worry, we'll help you!" Kawaki grabbed Bagon's two short legs and pulled upward with force.

Seeing this, Bewear also quickly stepped forward to help.

With their combined effort, with a "plop," Bagon was finally pulled out and fell to the ground in a rather disheveled state.

A black line appeared above the rescued Bagon's head, indicating its current state of confusion.

Bagon stared intently at the unfamiliar human and Pokémon before it.

These two guys must have seen it make a fool of itself just now, right?

If this got out, how would Bagon ever live down its reputation in this neighborhood?

This person must not be allowed to live! This thought flashed through Bagon's mind.

But soon, it remembered that these two had saved it.

Suddenly, Bagon's inner turmoil intensified.

Since that was the case, it would mercifully let them off!

Bagon turned around, ready to leave this place that had caused it to lose all face.

However, just then, it suddenly heard the human behind it speak.

"Wait, Bagon, come with me!"

Bagon froze. It looked back, a low Growl escaping its throat.

"Owoo—"

"Come with me, I can help you become stronger, evolve into Salamence, grow wings, and fly into the sky. How about it?" Kawaki tried to communicate with this Bagon.

Hearing these words, Bagon narrowed its eyes, momentarily forgetting its recent loss of face.

This human wanted to capture it?

Fly into the sky...

This condition sounded tempting at first.

But how could it be a Pokémon so easily captured?

Bagon scrutinized the human up and down. A moment later, a battle-ready Roar escaped its throat.

A very small Dragon Aura was released from its body, seemingly already possessing the Prototype of Intimidate.

"Roar!"

Bagon took a battle stance.

If you want to capture it, then prove your strength to it!

Seeing this, Kawaki was slightly stunned.

But he quickly reacted.

Bagon wanted to have a Pokémon battle with him!

This was the main way most Trainers capture wild Pokémon!

"In that case—" Kawaki looked at Bewear beside him: "Go, Bewear!"

With its young master's command, Bewear naturally stepped forward without hesitation, standing opposite Bagon.

"Don't use full power yet, let me see its strength!" Kawaki whispered.

He planned to raise this Bagon as a main Pokémon according to his strategy.

The first battle was not only a capture battle where Bagon wanted him to prove his strength, but also a crucial battle for both sides to get to know each other.

"Gugu!" Bewear responded.

The battle officially began!

Bagon started with Dragon Breath, purple hot air gushing from its mouth, sweeping towards Bewear.

Compared to Bewear, even though this Bagon trained very hard, in terms of strength, it was not just a little bit behind Bewear.

Facing this Dragon Breath, Bewear tilted its head and easily dodged it.

And seeing this, Bagon also seemed to realize that its opponent was a formidable foe.

But there was no fear on its face; instead, it became excited.

"Owoo!"

Flames surged in its mouth. This time, Bagon used Ember!

Looking at the Ember, Kawaki nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, the power of Ember seemed decent.

Judging from the proficiency of the Dragon Breath and Ember it just used, this Bagon had clearly undergone specialized training!

"Smart, a Bagon that strives for strength." Kawaki's evaluation of it emerged in his mind.

Bewear dodged the Ember again. Seeing that long-range attacks were ineffective, Bagon directly abandoned them and instead lunged towards Bewear. White light surged on its hard head, and it fiercely charged at Bewear.

Headbutt!

"Alright, Bewear! End it!" Kawaki had already generally understood Bagon's situation and then spoke to Bewear.

Hearing this, Bewear no longer hesitated and directly met Bagon with an Arm Hammer.

As the two moves connected, Bagon's small body was, without surprise, sent flying backward, landing on the grass, having lost its ability to battle.

Kawaki seized the opportunity to take out an empty Poké Ball and threw it towards Bagon.

The Poké Ball automatically opened, and a red beam of light flew out from it, enveloping Bagon's body and drawing it inside.

"Thump-thump!"

The Poké Ball landed on the ground, its body gently shaking, and the button in the center flashed red.

One, two, three...

"Thump!"

And then, it became completely quiet.

This indicated a successful capture!
