Bringing food to lure wild Pokémon and healing medicine, that afternoon, Draconis rode a Bouffalant transporting clay into the forest.
Two knights were on guard, ensuring the safety of the clay and preventing the Bouffalant from being attacked by wild Pokémon.
Fortunately, there were no dangerous Pokémon along this path, only some timid, non-aggressive Grass-type Pokémon.
For example, Sewaddle, Petilil, Budew, and so on.
Draconis looked at the few Pokémon hiding behind the rocks, watching them cautiously, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"I didn't expect Petilil to be living here."
As Draconis knew, Petilil had very high requirements for their habitat's environment.
Under normal circumstances, they would only appear near clear water and in soil with sufficient moisture and nutrients. If the environment of their habitat deteriorated, Petilil would migrate as a group to a new place.
More importantly, the leaves on their heads were very precious medicinal ingredients; although they were bitter enough to make one dizzy, they had the effect of restoring vitality.
In addition, some places would use these leaves to make soup. This soup had a strong smell that Bug-type Pokémon disliked very much, so it could also be used as an insect repellent.
If they had Petilil, their loggers in the forest wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by Bug Pokémon like Venipede and Galvantula.
Draconis couldn't help but consider raising Petilil.
Thinking of this, he signaled the advancing Bouffalant and the two knights to stop.
"Your Highness Draconis?" One knight was momentarily stunned.
Draconis tried to communicate with the three Petilil.
As he approached, the three Petilil immediately became flustered and turned to flee.
Seeing this, Draconis decisively ordered Snivy: "Snivy, Vine Whip!"
"Snivy."
Snivy calmly responded. Immediately after, a slender Vine Whip shot out from its neck, precisely using Lock-On on the three Petilil under Snivy's control.
The long, thin Vine Whip was like an agile snake, binding the Petilil together along their bodies.
Then, Snivy controlled the Vine Whip to bring the three flustered Petilil back to Draconis.
"Jiji!"
"Snivy..." Seeing the three Pokémon struggling, Snivy couldn't help but look at Draconis, asking him what to do.
"Don't be afraid, Petilil, we mean no harm." Draconis gently stroked the Petilil's heads with one hand while taking food from his bag and offering it to them.
Seeing this, the three Petilil were momentarily stunned. Seemingly sensing the other party's goodwill, they were no longer as scared as before.
"Jiji...?"
"It's like this, Petilil, I will let you go now. Please don't leave yet, okay? I have something I want to tell you." Draconis asked.
"Jiji..."
Seeing that Petilil agreed, he nodded towards Snivy.
Snivy slowly retracted its Vine Whip, and the three Petilil gently landed on the grass. They indeed did not turn and run away; instead, they looked over with some curiosity.
Seeing this, Draconis cleared his throat and then slowly began:
"It's like this, I've established a territory outside this forest. It has clear river water, fertile soil, and it's very safe, so I'd like to invite you to live there with us."
As for the price... that would, of course, be the leaves on Petilil's heads.
As Grass-type Pokémon, even if the leaves on their bodies fall off, they will immediately Grow back, and they also need regular trimming to prevent the leaves from growing wildly.
"Jiji..." Hearing these words, the three Petilil hesitated slightly.
They just felt that the human in front of them was a very strange fellow.
"Well then, how about I take you to see it first? If you're satisfied, will you stay and live with us?" Draconis asked.
He planned to entrust these three Petilil to Lila, the physician of the territory, to raise.
Moreover, Draconis remembered that Lila had recently enclosed a medicinal garden next to her house with a wooden fence, planting many flowers and herbs inside.
Petilil could move in directly, which was very convenient.
"Jiji..."
The three Petilil were still hesitant.
But looking at the elegant and proud snake Pokémon in front of them, intimidated by its power, they finally agreed.
"Jiji!"
Very good.
The territory was not far from here, so Draconis immediately took the Petilil back to the territory and found Lila, who was tending to herbs in the herbal garden.
"Your Highness Draconis? How do you have time to come today?" Seeing the visitor, Lila was very surprised. She quickly stood up and bowed.
"No need to be so polite." Draconis said, while surveying the surrounding environment.
Lila's wooden house was built by the river. At this moment, she had enclosed a courtyard behind the back door of the wooden house with a wooden fence. In the courtyard, there was a small dirt path, and on both sides of the path, some herbs and flowers were planted.
"I came to see you today about something." Draconis turned to look behind him: "Come out, everyone!"
Under Snivy's urging, the three Petilil cautiously poked their heads out.
Upon seeing these three Pokémon, Lila's eyes immediately widened.
These magical beasts are... "Your Highness Draconis, where did you find them?!" Lila was a little excited.
"Hmm? You know them?" Draconis was a little surprised.
"Yes!" Lila nodded: "The leaves on their heads are extremely rare medicinal ingredients, even in the royal city, they are hard to come by! They treat headaches, refresh the mind, and they can even restore one's spirit!"
"With them, we will never have to worry about anyone having a fever or a cold again!" Lila said excitedly.
Seeing this, Draconis smiled and said, "This is precisely why I brought them here. I hope you can take care of them, but all of this still depends on Petilil's thoughts."
Saying this, Draconis turned his gaze to the three Petilil beside him.
"This is the place I told you about. What do you think?"
"Jiji..."
Petilil turned and looked around. This was a small, safe herbal garden, with a large area of herbs and flowers planted in it. Outside the garden was a clear, large river. Just standing here, one could feel a vibrant scene.
A glimmer of light flickered in Petilil's eyes.
Seeing this, Draconis knew it was a success.
Although Petilil were somewhat timid, their temperament was gentle, they were easy to approach, and very simple to raise.
"In that case, then feel free to settle down here! We will protect your safety and prevent you from being attacked by other Pokémon." Draconis said.
"Jiji!"
Pokémon are very intelligent creatures. After sensing that these humans meant no harm to them, Petilil also relaxed.
"I'll leave them to you for now. Take good care of them." Draconis instructed.
"Understood, Your Highness Draconis!" Lila quickly nodded.
Although she had never raised magical beasts, she hadn't eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run.
His Highness Draconis and his two magical beasts, Anna and Zorua, and those few Snover... After His Highness Draconis left, Lila finally looked at the three magical beasts named Petilil.
"Ahem, from now on, you will live here! I will take good care of you!" Lila said.
"Jiji!" Petilil looked very happy.
So cute!
Seeing this scene, Lila couldn't help but think to herself: Magical beasts aren't as scary as I imagined!
