Having promised the Kricketune Family, it was time to return to Jubilife Village. First, he let the Starly rest inside its Poké Ball.
The entire Kricketune Family had entered Poké Balls, which counted as capturing them, Xu Li thought.
He opened the system, and indeed, many rewards popped up.
[Achievement Unlocked: Captured 18 Pokémon]
[Reward: Poochyena Tracking Device]
The Poochyena Tracking Device appeared in Xu Li's hand, resembling a toy shaped like a Mightyena, composed of multiple polygons.
It had a rotating gear at the tail and an attached rotating needle, somewhat similar to the machine cat in Tom and Jerry that claimed to catch Jerry.
[Poochyena Tracking Device]
[Poochyena has a very persistent nature; it will stubbornly pursue fleeing opponents with its keen sense of smell, never letting go of prey it has targeted.]
[Effect: When used on an enemy fleeing on land, the Poochyena Tracking Device will stubbornly pursue until the prey is bitten and loses its ability to move.]
Good, Xu Li thought when he saw this effect. If he had this item when the Ponyta (Shiny) fled, he wouldn't have worried about catching it.
[Achievement Unlocked: Captured 54 Pokémon]
[Special: Captured an entire Family, including the Head]
[Special Reward: meowth's lucky coin*]
[meowth's lucky coin*]
[Humans and Pokémon carrying meowth's lucky coin will be luckier than before, and the additional effects of various skills will occur more easily.]
[*Wishing the owner carrying the Lucky Coin all their wishes come true, Meow~]
This meowth's lucky coin, in appearance, was just like the coin on Meowth's Head, only slightly more golden in color. He wondered how strong the increased luck effect would be.
[Achievement Unlocked: Captured 6 Bug-type Pokémon]
[Bug-type Move Specific TM x3]
[Bug-type Move Specific TM]
[Can transform into any specified Bug-type TM]
Good stuff, but Bug-type moves are inherently few, and not many Pokémon can learn them. Xu Li couldn't think of any moves his Pokémon needed at the moment, and Paras didn't need attack moves right now.
[Friendship of the Kricketune Family]
[Acquired Trait: Bug-type Affinity +1]
The Paras nearby suddenly blinked, feeling Xu Li was more attractive than before, though it already liked Xu Li very much.
Walking back, Xu Li experimented with the newly acquired Poochyena Tracking Device.
He aimed the Head of the Poochyena Tracking Device at the Stantler that had charged at Xu Li earlier but was shocked by Shinx and fled.
He inserted the attached needle into the tail gear and twisted it, making a clicking sound.
Placed on the ground, the Poochyena Tracking Device seemed to come alive, its red nose twitching, and it immediately chased in the direction the Stantler had fled.
Its speed was not slow. The Stantler and the Poochyena Tracking Device, one chasing and one fleeing, quickly disappeared from Xu Li's sight.
"Damn it, how do we follow them?"
As soon Li asked this question, the rotating needle in his hand seemed to be pulled by an attraction. The needle tip deflected, pointing in one direction, and kept fine-tuning, as if tracking the Poochyena Tracking Device's direction in real-time.
"What is this? Is there a connection between them? Let's go."
Xu Li quickly headed in the direction the needle pointed.
As he ran, the rotating needle stopped pointing in one direction, which likely indicated that the Poochyena Tracking Device had caught its prey.
Xu Li was about to catch up to the Poochyena Tracking Device when he heard a continuous whooshing sound and the cries of a Stantler coming from there.
Xu Li looked.
Beside a river, the Poochyena Tracking Device was biting the Stantler tightly, forcing the Stantler to lie on the ground and let out miserable cries.
Nearby, a huge Snorlax lay on the ground, limbs splayed, fast asleep.
Its breathing was intermittent at this moment, as if affected by the cries of the suffering Stantler nearby.
Then it stretched out a paw and scratched its belly, then opened its eyes blankly, trying to find the source of what woke it up.
"Ka~ Bi?"
Turning its Head, Snorlax saw the Stantler being tightly bitten next to it. Although it found it strange that it had never seen the thing biting the Stantler,
Snorlax was not annoyed at being woken up. Instead, it extended its broad paw, pried open the Poochyena Tracking Device's mouth, and helped the Stantler out of its predicament.
Freed from its restraint, the Stantler frantically got up, somewhat afraid of the large creature next to it, and quickly scurried away in another direction with a push of its two legs.
Snorlax was left holding the Poochyena Tracking Device, looking at it curiously, then slowly lay down and fell asleep again.
Xu Li patted his Head. Snorlax was holding the Poochyena Tracking Device tightly in one hand while Sleeping. It would be troublesome to get the Poochyena Tracking Device back, but he still had to retrieve it.
"Axew~ (I'll pull it out)"
Axew, who was nearby, saw Xu Li about to walk directly towards Snorlax and volunteered to help.
"Let me do it, Axew, you're not tall enough."
"Axew!"
Axew lowered her Head, looking at her small body, feeling offended.
However, this Snorlax seemed to have a gentle temperament, and Snorlax as a species are generally slow movers. Even if Snorlax were to attack them, Xu Li was confident he could escape.
Xu Li became bolder. He slowly approached Snorlax's hand, which was holding the Poochyena Tracking Device, and tried to see if he could pull the Poochyena Tracking Device out.
The Poochyena Tracking Device didn't come out, but Snorlax, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by Xu Li.
"Snorlax—"
Snorlax was a bit annoyed this time. Its sturdy body suddenly sat up, and its slightly red, irritated eyes looked at Xu Li, who had disturbed its Sleeping, but it didn't make a move.
"Hello there, Snorlax."
Xu Li awkwardly greeted it. It was indeed Xu Li who had disturbed Snorlax first.
"Snorlax~lax~ (What, do, you want)"
"Sorry to wake you up. This thing belongs to us. Um… I can exchange it for food."
As Xu Li spoke, he heard Snorlax's stomach Growl, so Xu Li offered to exchange food for the Poochyena Tracking Device.
"Snorlax? (Food, good)"
Xu Li took out a batch of indigo energy cubes he had made previously. These were energy cubes that provided an extremely strong sense of fullness.
Paras had tried them first, and as a result, its stomach was bloated for two days, making it unable to eat properly. So, even if the taste was decent, Xu Li's Pokémon refused them.
But this indigo energy cube seemed very suitable for a big eater like Snorlax. Now that there was an opportunity, Xu Li decided to offer it to Snorlax to try.
Snorlax looked at the several small energy cubes Xu Li offered in his palm, blinked, and felt like it wasn't enough to eat.
Never mind, I won't make things difficult for this human. After eating, I'll go find food myself.
Thinking this, Snorlax put the energy cubes into its mouth.
"Snor~~lax~ (So~ delicious~)"
After the first energy cube went down, Snorlax felt it was the best thing it had ever eaten, much more delicious than the berries from the nearby fruit trees.
And, this... this was the feeling of a full stomach, a feeling of happiness. Snorlax unconsciously smiled.
Normally, even eating all the rotten berries wouldn't achieve this level of fullness, but these few small cubes did.
Xu Li stood with his arms crossed, smiling as he watched Snorlax's happy expression. Getting the Poochyena Tracking Device back was assured.
