Chapter 6: Dratini
Master Ball…
It is the ultimate Poké Ball that can catch a Pokémon with a 100% success rate.
No matter what Pokémon it is, even a Legendary Pokémon, it can be directly caught if the Master Ball hits successfully.
If this is truly the case, then Lei Wen understands why the unlocking conditions for this technology are so high.
50 Satisfaction is still too little, nothing can be unlocked.
Lei Wen was very helpless and could only set it aside and save for a while longer.
Elif had gone out on a mission, and only Lei Wen and Dratini were left in the tent.
On the way over, Dratini had been sleeping, and now that it had settled down, it also woke up.
At this moment, this Dratini was observing Lei Wen with its large, watery eyes.
Lei Wen propped his chin in his hand, also sizing up this Dratini.
【 Pokémon: Dratini 】
【 Type: Dragon 】
【 Gender: Female 】
【 Ability: Marvel Scale 】
【 Moves: Wrap, Leer, Twister 】
【 Friendship: 25 （ Maximum is 100, can exceed the limit in special circumstances. ）】
【 Pokédex Entry: In Kingdom Calendar year 147, Dratini was born. 】
【 In Kingdom Calendar year 148, Dratini was captured by a fisherman and presented to a noble. 】
【 In Kingdom Calendar year 148, in pursuit of status, the noble presented Dratini to the King. 】
【 In Kingdom Calendar year 148, to maintain relations with the Aindook Kingdom, the King sent an envoy to present Dratini as a gift to the King of Aindook. 】
【 In Kingdom Calendar year 148, the Old King took Dratini as a pet and entrusted it to the Third Prince, Lei Wen, who then traveled to his fiefdom with it. 】
After these two days of getting along, Dratini’s friendship with him had indeed risen from 20 to 25.
“Wrap, Leer, Twister… only knows three moves?” Lei Wen murmured aloud.
It seemed a bit weak, no wonder this Dratini was captured by a fisherman.
However, it’s not Dratini’s fault, all things considered, it hasn’t even been a year since it was born, this Dratini is still a baby Dratini less than a year old.
Lei Wen poked Dratini’s big nose with his finger.
Dratini actually nudged his finger with its nose.
Lei Wen then fell into thought.
He did not intend to raise Dratini as a pet Pokémon.
Although Dratini was very weak before evolving into Dragonite, compared to Pokémon like Magikarp or Feebas, it possessed at least some combat ability.
The only problem is that raising a pseudo-legendary Pokémon requires a large amount of resources.
And the current territory lacked resources the most.
In this era, humans and Pokémon were at odds with each other; humans were very unfamiliar with Pokémon, let alone preparing specialized food and berries for them.
And in such circumstances, without sufficient food, it meant that Dratini would not get enough nutrition to grow.
“Hmm, this is also a problem.” Lei Wen had a headache.
Fortunately, the Old King had given him Dratini instead of Snorlax, known for its voracious appetite.
Otherwise, the territory’s food would be eaten up in a single day, and they would all starve to death in this icy wasteland.
“Let’s get to know each other, shall we? Dratini.” Lei Wen said, smiling at Dratini.
“Wuu?” Dratini’s clear big eyes revealed a bright questioning look.
“My name is Lei Wen. As you can see, I am human. If nothing unexpected happens, we will live together for a very, very long time from now on, whether as friends or as family. However, I am very happy to be living with you.”
“Wuu…” Dratini blinked its eyes. Lei Wen?
Is it its turn next?
Dratini thought carefully, then imitated Lei Wen’s posture, its small face full of seriousness as it said, “Wuu!”
Its name is Dratini, it is a Dratini!
It’s a pity that Lei Wen couldn’t understand Dratini’s language, so he continued to ponder and asked:
“So, next, should I get to know you more deeply?”
For example, by showing him its moves.
The main reason was that Lei Wen wanted to see the power of the moves Dratini had mastered.
That way, he would have at least some idea.
“Wuu~” Dratini readily agreed.
However, when it saw Lei Wen preparing to take it outside, it immediately flew away in fright, burying its head in the blanket.
Lei Wen: “…”
He was a little speechless, but he still stepped forward and said, “The snow has stopped today, and there’s sun. It’s not very cold outside, and the sun feels warm on your skin. Don’t you want to bask in the sun for a bit?”
There wasn’t much wind in this valley plains, and coupled with the bright sunshine, the temperature here was quite warm compared to when they were traveling on the road before.
Hearing this, Dratini finally reacted.
It had basked in the sun before.
At that time, it was at sea, basking in the sun with its friends on a golden beach.
The sun felt warm on its skin!
Dratini poked its head out from under the blanket and asked uncertainly, “Wuu?”
“Of course, it’s true.” Lei Wen saw what Dratini meant and opened his cashmere coat, saying, “If you don’t believe me, you can come inside here first.”
This outing was for testing the power of Dratini’s moves, checking on the seventy-eight people, and surveying the environment around the territory.
Only then did Dratini reluctantly agree. It flew into Lei Wen’s coat, revealing only half its face and eyes, secretly observing the world outside.
Lei Wen smiled and shook his head helplessly. He adjusted his coat and stepped out of the tent.
In just one night, this clearing had been tidied up by the people into a country path.
The snow on the road had been cleared, and tents were set up around his tent, making it look less like a territory and more like a campsite in the wilderness.
A woman passing by saw him come out and immediately bowed respectfully, saying, “Your Highness Prince Lei Wen!”
Lei Wen nodded, then looked at the basket the woman was holding with surprise and asked, “What is this?”
The woman replied, “Reporting to Your Highness Prince Lei Wen, these are wild berries we picked from the nearby shrubs. Would you like to try some, Lord? I picked a lot!”
“No need, you continue with your work. I still have something to do.”
However, the woman was very enthusiastic, “Please try them, Your Highness! Your herbs saved my sick child, and I wanted to thank you! Please don’t worry, Your Highness, there are many, many berries growing in the shrubs in that forest!”
Regarding this matter, Lei Wen had already received a report from his subordinates yesterday.
He couldn’t resist the woman’s enthusiasm and accepted a handful of berries from her, tasting one.
Hmm… very sweet.
Lei Wen didn’t particularly like eating them, but Dratini was quite interested.
“I’ll save them all for you,” he said, stroking Dratini’s head.
“Wuu~!” Dratini was very happy.
Lei Wen continued to move forward, observing everything around him.
Just as the woman had said, the Knight Order had discovered a large number of wild berries in the forest during their survey yesterday.
The injured people were resting in tents, while the uninjured ones took tools and went to the forest to pick berries, appearing very busy.
Lei Wen felt it was good. Although berries weren’t very filling, they were a decent food in this environment.
Just then, a commotion suddenly came from ahead.
Lei Wen looked up and saw that by the riverside not far away, a group led by Ryan was fishing on the frozen river surface.
