Friendship Balls were purchased by Qing Wu from a shop in Green Grove Town. Their family's shop was the only one in the Green Grove region selling Friendship Balls. However, Friendship Balls were genuinely not cheap, costing 5000 Alliance Coins each.
Qing Wu successfully subdued this group of Mightyena and Arcanine in front of the townspeople, receiving enthusiastic applause from them.
"Thank you, Mr. Emptymind, for resolving the abnormality in Green Grove Town," Mr. Emptymind said gratefully, though he also hesitated for a moment, knowing he shouldn't have said that.
"You won't sell them, will you? They're all good children," Mr. Emptymind asked with a slight sadness. He knew some bounty hunters were cruel and merciless, so he asked with a bit of concern.
"No, I'll find a fostering home to take them in. They'll live well in the fostering home," Qing Wu said kindly. He silently added, "They'll live well as my closest family."
"That's good, that's good. I'll give you a very high rating. Thank you." The old man, who had never bowed his head, deeply bowed to Qing Wu.
Although Qing Wu wanted to stop the old man, he knew that if he did, he would be rejecting his good intentions. After all, he was such a proud man.
Qing Wu's harvest this time was immense. He had subdued a total of 20 Pokémon: 10 Mightyena, 5 Arcanine, 3 Hariyama, and 2 Machoke.
With a total of 20 Pokémon, Qing Wu felt somewhat surprised, as none of these Pokémon had red aptitude. The one with the highest aptitude was the Arcanine, a blue aptitude Pokémon.

These two Pokémon were particularly high-leveled, especially the Arcanine, which had already reached the quasi-Elite stage. It was a good thing he hadn't challenged this group of Pokémon, otherwise, the big-eared Bat would have become their dinner. Relying on his aura-inducing techniques and a few small gifts, he successfully brought in this group of wild Pokémon.
Qing Wu felt that these two Pokémon definitely had their own trainers. Either they had run away, or their trainers had passed away. However, Arcanine and Mightyena didn't say anything, so Qing Wu just pretended not to know. From the moment they were willing to enter the fostering home, they were already Qing Wu's family.
When Qing Wu returned to the fostering home, he saw a Dragonite flying happily out of his fostering home. Dragonite was carrying a large, bulging bag.
Dragonite happily flapped its wings, soaring into the sky and disappearing. Qing Wu recognized it as Lance's Dragonite.
"Shana, is Lance's Dragonite here?" Qing Wu saw Shana waving at the entrance of the fostering home and asked Shana.
"Yes, I also had it take away some energy blocks. It's good for your Dragonair's older sister. Right, for your things you left behind, I asked Dragonite to pick them up," Shana smiled faintly.
"Did things go smoothly this time?" Shana asked curiously.
"Very smoothly. Not only did I buy a large milk can, but I also got a Vespiquen, and I also invited some family members," Qing Wu took off his crying-laughing mask and smiled.
"Qing Wu, there's a fostering home nearby that went bankrupt and is looking for a buyer. It's very close to us. They even have a piece of land adjacent to ours," Shana communicated telepathically.
"But if we do that, our defensive capabilities will drop significantly. My Psychic field with Riley doesn't reach that far," Shana sighed.
"It doesn't matter. I've invited some family members back; they will definitely help me," Qing Wu walked into the fostering home and closed the door.
"Our fostering home needs to build a tall fence. We now have more precious Pokémon, so we need to guard against some people's covetousness," Qing Wu thought to himself.
"Now, please allow me to introduce my new family to everyone. Come out, Mightyena, Arcanine, Vespiquen!" Qing Wu released the Pokémon he had subdued while on his mission.
After Arcanine came out, it found a comfortable spot to lie down. Mightyena, on the other hand, watched Arcanine with a tense expression.
"Shana, you might have to trouble you to look after these family members for a while. Many of the Arcanine and Mightyena in this group are pregnant and are about to give birth," Qing Wu chuckled.
Shana nodded, using Heal Pulse. A clear, ringing sound spread throughout the entire fostering home. Under the healing effects of Heal Pulse, Arcanine felt much more comfortable, and the nausea caused by its pregnancy reactions also lessened considerably.
Arcanine and Mightyena, being quite perceptive, realized that this Shana was stronger than them. Even with a type disadvantage, they didn't dislike her. After all, Fairy-type also countered Dark-type. Shana instantly won the favor of these Pokémon.
"Arcanine, Mightyena, your duty is to guard this fostering home, protecting all the Pokémon within it. From this moment on, we are family!" Qing Wu smiled at them.
"Family?" Arcanine, lost in thought, recalled a girl who had once spoken such words to it. Sadly, that girl had died, and Arcanine's heart felt empty. A string of characters was carved on Arcanine's necklace, reading: "Elisa, my beloved little princess."
After Qing Wu settled the Mightyena family, he looked up at Vespiquen. Vespiquen was the calmest of them all.
"Vespiquen, you must take the Elite path. Any Beedrill with an aptitude lower than yellow will be sent away by me, do you understand?" Qing Wu said to Vespiquen, who was hovering in the air.
Vespiquen nodded. It knew that high or low aptitudes could improve the Beedrill species' strength. If it weren't for the Super Beedrill always doting on its offspring, how could Vespiquen tolerate these low-aptitude individuals?
"You can just find a place to rebuild your hive. But don't disturb the Pokémon in the fostering home. You just need to provide me with honey regularly," Qing Wu said gently.
Vespiquen led the Elite Beedrill and the yellow-aptitude Beedrill that Qing Wu had kept, flying into the forest area, seemingly searching for a suitable spot to establish a hive.
"Next, it's Regigigas's turn. Come out, Regigigas!" Qing Wu summoned the legendary Pokémon, Regigigas, which possessed immense combat power.
Indeed, after Regigigas was released, it immediately launched a Million Punch at Qing Wu. Regigigas remained suspended in the air, its entire body enveloped in blue psychic energy.
Regigigas was subdued by Shana using her psychic powers. Regigigas struggled desperately, looking very anxious.
"Snorlax, Vileplume, Tentacruel, you all need to duel Regigigas every day," Qing Wu said, looking at these huge Pokémon.
"Other interested Pokémon can also try to challenge Regigigas, but be careful not to get hurt by Regigigas," Qing Wu said, looking at the eager-to-try Shiftry and Arbok.
The fostering home's most battle-loving Pokémon were Shiftry and Arbok. Only by letting them duel this Regigigas to their heart's content would it willingly produce milk.
After Qing Wu handled these matters, he pulled out a Tyranitar's Poké Ball. Tyranitar was a powerful and destructive Pokémon. If Qing Wu wanted Tyranitar to behave, he had to "properly" communicate with Tyranitar.
He had to "subdue people with virtue."
