When Yuga also put Natu into the Poké Ball, Officer Jenny came out of the tree hole together with Barry.
"Mr. Shimizu, what about Snorlax?" Officer Jenny asked.
Yuga shook the Poké Ball in his hand and said: "It's here."
Officer Jenny then continued to say: "Since the thieves who stole the Pokéblocks have already been captured by Mr. Shimizu, then now we only need to bring the Pokéblocks inside the tree hole back."
Yuga nodded and said: "Leave this to me."
Saying so, Yuga took the lead and walked into the tree hole, and immediately released Chimecho.
Inside the tree hole, part of the Pokéblocks had already been ruined by Snorlax, but most were still preserved very well.
"Chimecho, please take us back to Twinleaf Town."
"Chimecho~"
Chimecho leaned to Yuga's side, affectionately rubbing against Yuga's cheek.
When Officer Jenny came in with Barry, Yuga let them stand beside the Pokéblocks, and then Chimecho's body flashed with light, and the next second everyone appeared in Twinleaf Town.
Barry dumbly said: "So… so convenient!"
But can a Pokémon like Chimecho learn Teleport? Could it be that I am ignorant and ill-informed? Barry could not help but think.
Officer Jenny's gaze toward Chimecho also carried some surprise: indeed, Chimecho cannot learn Teleport.
Chimecho, however, did not care about the gaze of others, and under Yuga's praise lifted its head high, unbearably proud.
What is this short-distance Teleport worth! Even a little Natu can do it, there is no reason that it, a Master level Pokémon, cannot do it.
After showing off to Yuga for a while, Chimecho, satisfied, returned into the Poké Ball.
Yuga then said to Officer Jenny: "Some of the Pokéblocks were damaged, and some were eaten by Snorlax. Since Snorlax and Natu have now been subdued by me, the parts they ruined and ate will be compensated by me. Later you tell the shop owner, tell me the value of the loss."
Officer Jenny nodded and said: "I know." Then she watched Yuga leave.
When Yuga returned to Aunt Johanna's home, Iris and Seiryu were packing their things. They had already played and wandered around yesterday, today it was time to depart back.
Seeing Yuga come back, Iris asked: "Mr. Shimizu, has the matter been resolved?"
Yuga nodded and said: "Resolved, it was not a big problem."
Iris, looking as though she had expected this, said: "I knew it would not be too difficult for Mr. Shimizu."
After chatting with Iris for a few sentences, Yuga went to an empty ground beside Aunt Johanna's house and released the Snorlax and Munchlax brothers.
Because Gengar had only been playing with them before, both Snorlax and Munchlax were not seriously injured, and when Yuga released them they had already woken up.
When Snorlax saw Yuga, its eyes immediately became vigilant, while the Munchlax directly hid behind Snorlax, its eyes dodging, looking at Yuga in fear.
Yuga helplessly said: "You don't need to be afraid, I will not harm you."
Saying so, he took out the Sweet Honey he had used to lure the two Snorlax and Munchlax in the Eterna Forest and said to the two Pokémon: "Don't you like this? Here, it's all for you."
Seeing that the two Pokémon still did not dare to come close, Yuga put the jar of Sweet Honey on the ground and then stepped back two steps.
The two Snorlax and Munchlax really were gluttons. At first, their faces were still full of vigilance, but only because Yuga was too strong they did not dare to act rashly.
But as the tempting fragrance of the Sweet Honey spread bit by bit, finally the two of them could not withstand the temptation, hugging the jar and eating heartily.
(★＞U＜★) So delicious, even if it is poisonous I would accept it! The Snorlax and Munchlax could not help but think.
But with the appetite of the two of them, the bit of Sweet Honey that Yuga took out could at most only satisfy them a little, and soon they had eaten it all up, the jar licked until it shone.
At this moment Yuga took the chance to coax: "How is it? Delicious?"
The two Snorlax and Munchlax looked at each other and lightly nodded, their eyes still carrying a trace of longing.
Yuga then continued: "As long as you come home with me, I still have more delicious food for you."
The eyes of the two of them instantly lit up.
"Munchlax~"
Really?
Munchlax was the first to be moved, unable to stop itself from asking.
"Of course it is true! If you don't believe me, look."
Saying so, Yuga took out a box of Moomoo Milk, opened it, and gulped down a mouthful, then smacked his lips and said: "Wow~~~ it is really too delicious to drink!"
The two Snorlax and Munchlax could not hold back and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, their noses twitching again and again, the unique smell belonging to Moomoo Milk lingered at the tips of their noses and could not be dispersed.
In the end, the two silly and greedy fellows could not resist Yuga's temptation, and completely surrendered under Yuga's gourmet strategy.
After gaining the loyalty of the Snorlax and Munchlax, Yuga generously took out quite a lot of Sweet Honey and Moomoo Milk, letting the two fellows first satisfy their mouths.
The two brothers were fully satisfied!
After dealing with the brothers, Yuga then released the Natu.
The Natu had fainted by itself, it had not suffered any injury at all, so it was already awake, and as soon as it came out of the Poké Ball, its gaze met Yuga's.
It is a human!!!
The Natu instinctively flapped its wings backward, and just happened to bump into the Snorlax behind it, bouncing twice on Snorlax's soft fur before falling to the ground.
Yuga walked over and lowered his head to look at it, it was so frightened that its eyes rolled back again and it was about to faint.
Seeing this, Yuga said: "If you faint, then I cannot guarantee what I might do to you!"
The half-fainted Natu, upon hearing this, trembled all over, and completely woke up.
Humans really are all so frightening! At this time the Natu regretted extremely much that it had urged Snorlax to go to the human town to steal food.
With the arrival of winter approaching, food in the forest was becoming harder and harder to find, and because it held a grudge against humans, Natu had urged Snorlax to steal human things.
But who could have thought the overturn would come so quickly!
The Snorlax brothers, seeing their companion trembling, comforted it by saying: "Do not be afraid, this person is very good, he has a lot of delicious food."
Having delicious food means being a good person? The Natu screamed in its heart, you have only seen a few humans, what do you know about what is good and what is bad!
Seeing Natu frightened like this, Yuga really could not understand why: Am I wrong somewhere? Obviously everybody likes me very much!
Saying this he even lowered his head and checked himself once more, everything was normal.
Yuga opened his Insight skill and looked toward the Natu.
...
[ Natu ]
Attribute: Psychic, Flying
Ability: Magic Bounce (unable to activate)
Gender: Female
Potential: Blue
Level: 44
Moves: Peck, Leer, Teleport, Lucky Chant, Ominous Wind, Wish, Psychic, Psycho Shift, Psyshock, Shadow Ball, Reflect, Quick Attack, Tailwind, Pain Split, Trick.
...
After looking over the Natu's data, Yuga could not help but show doubt, blue potential indeed surprised him pleasantly, but what did the note "unable to activate" after the Ability mean?
And also… as a wild Pokémon, and moreover still the initial form Natu, isn't the number of moves it has learned a little too many?
Even if it is a blue potential Pokémon, without anyone teaching, learning so many moves is not easy!
Finally, clearly Natu already has such a high level, why has it not evolved? With its potential it should not be like this!
Could it be that this Natu has some defect in its body?
While Yuga was puzzled and confused, a sentence from Snorlax gave Yuga a hint, Natu had once been hurt by humans.
Bullied by humans? Yuga was even more puzzled, a rare blue potential Pokémon, not only not treated well, but even bullied? Could that person be an idiot?
Yuga wanted to ask more clearly, but Snorlax expressed that it did not know, Natu was only a Pokémon it had picked up at the beginning, it rarely mentioned its past.
Even the matter that it had once been harmed by humans, Snorlax had only heard by accident.
Yuga looked at Natu and said: "Not all humans are bad, it can only be said that the guy who hurt you was an idiot."
However Natu still was unwilling to trust Yuga, the hurt it had suffered before had already formed a huge shadow in its heart.
Always holding such a large vigilance against humans is not good! Yuga thought for a moment and then said to Natu: "If you tell me about your past, I can, depending on the situation, agree to one request of yours."
Natu heard these words and suddenly raised its head to look at Yuga, and then it became a little hesitant again.
Yuga then said again: "I will not lie to you!"
Natu also did not know whether the human in front of it could be trusted or not, but it had no choice, if the other side truly was willing to keep the promise, it hoped to be able to gain freedom together with the Snorlax brothers.
In the end, Natu told Yuga about its past.
Natu once also had an owner, but its owner was not a trainer, but a Pokémon researcher, this researcher's main research direction was the abilities of Pokémon.
Natu was captured by him in the wild, originally Natu thought that from then on it was about to live a good life without having to worry about food or clothing, but it had not expected that was only the beginning of its nightmare.
The abilities of Pokémon, although they are fixed, the fixed inherited abilities are not unique.
For example, Charizard's abilities are Blaze and Solar Power, Venusaur's abilities are Overgrow and Chlorophyll, Blastoise's abilities are Torrent and Rain Dish… the fixed inheritances of Pokémon often have one to three, this is related to their species.
Different combinations of abilities can allow Pokémon to exert different effects, some are good, some are bad, some have effects that are not particularly obvious or you could say not as good as other inherent abilities of the same species.
Because the inheritance of Pokémon abilities has randomness, before a Charmander is born, it is very difficult for you to predict whether it inherits Blaze or Solar Power, let alone a Natu such as this, which can inherit three kinds of abilities: Synchronize, Early Bird, and Magic Bounce.
Therefore the inheritance of Pokémon abilities became a discipline worth researching.
Among Pokémon breeders there is this subject of ability inheritance, breeders select Pokémon with specific abilities and cause them to breed, and then cause them to give birth to the ability that the breeder hopes for.
However, this process is relatively complicated, not only the cycle is long, the cost is also high, and the result is only to increase the probability of inheriting the desired ability, it cannot achieve one hundred percent success.
Natu's ability was one that was very ordinary in its species, it was neither Synchronize, nor the hidden ability Magic Bounce, but it was Early Bird.
This made Natu's owner extremely regretful, obviously with extremely outstanding blue potential, yet paired with an ability that was not very good.
Although the Early Bird ability is not like Truant or Slow Start which would hold back, compared with Synchronize and Magic Bounce it is far worse.
At that time, Natu's owner was conducting a research, that was to artificially transplant good abilities onto those Pokémon who had good potential but poor abilities.
Therefore Natu became the experimental subject.
This kind of experiment was often accompanied with bloodiness, if a proper laboratory wanted to conduct it, it needed the approval of the League, but Natu's owner was only a fake researcher, he had no qualifications at all.
So he began to secretly conduct research, and during this period who knows how many Pokémon lives were harmed.
At the beginning he transplanted abilities from Pokémon of other species onto Natu, but that was too difficult, the repulsion between ability and Pokémon was too strong, there was fundamentally no way to succeed.
So he then carried out transplants of abilities between the same species.
Many Natu died in this experiment.
In the end he did indeed succeed, or rather succeeded halfway, because although Natu obtained the Magic Bounce ability, it was not able to use it.
Natu's owner was not like Yuga who had Insight ability, when the Magic Bounce ability was not able to activate, he had no way to prove that this ability already existed, so he did not know that Natu had already successfully transplanted Magic Bounce.
Later, whether or not this person completed this experiment Natu did not know, because it ran away.
After escaping from its original owner, Natu wandered everywhere, suffered much bullying, and in the end was picked up and brought home by Snorlax.
After hearing Natu's story, Yuga's brows knitted tightly, crazy scientists really exist everywhere.
So annoying!
Yuga thought for a moment then looked at Natu and asked: "Do you hate that person?"
Natu without hesitation nodded: Hate! Not only hate that he harmed itself, but also hate that he harmed so many innocent Pokémon.
Hearing this Yuga said: "Then let's make a deal, I will help you get rid of that person, let him receive the punishment he deserves, how about you come with me?"
Natu was stunned when it heard this.
Yuga thought it had not heard clearly, so he said it once again.
"What? Unwilling? Then forget it."
As soon as his voice fell, Natu fiercely nodded, if it could make that person receive punishment, it was willing to lose its freedom! Not only freedom, life also could be given.
After escaping from that man, Natu had always been trying to forget that memory, but only today did it realize, hatred was engraved so deeply into the bones and heart.
The reason it chose to forget, chose to avoid, was only because there was no hope of revenge.
Now hope was right before its eyes.
After agreeing with Natu, Yuga put away the three Pokémon.
On the other side, Iris and Seiryu had already prepared to leave, Yuga walked over and said to them: "How about you leave by yourselves? I still have a little matter to attend to."
Iris upon hearing this said: "It's fine, it's possible, but Mr. Shimizu is your matter very important? Do you want us to help?"
Yuga shook his head and said: "It is not any important matter, it just needs to take some time, no need to worry."
Iris upon hearing this said: "Then fine, we will go ahead first."
Yuga nodded and said: "Good, the matter of the ruins exploration will trouble you two to report to the League."
After Iris and Seiryu boarded the flying craft leaving Sinnoh, Yuga also bid farewell to Aunt Johanna, then left Twinleaf Town.
