After the dispute ended, Helena also bid farewell and left.
Watching her and Gardevoir's disappearing figures, Baimu was curious whether she and Babina still identified with their human selves.
N probably doesn't have much of a sense of belonging to the human group, and the fact that he didn't turn into an evil boss due to his experiences is thanks to the combined efforts of Ash Ketchum and Pikachu.
"Are there any other Pokémon on the mountain that haven't come?"
He directed his question to the Lycanroc Leader.
The other party glanced at him without responding, only stretching out its bright red tongue to lick its wet fur.
Filthy dog...
Baimu grinned, pointing to the Midnight Lycanroc and said to the Pokémon like Hydreigon: "Beat it up, make it smoke with the beatings!"
Now that Helena's gone, what's it still pretending for?
He had his unique techniques dealing with such non-violent and uncooperative Wild Pokémon.
If Helena were here, she would surely persuade him and stop him, so he held back without using them.
"Shasa~"
Hydreigon and Gengar received the order, coldly chuckling with malice as they approached, while Dragapult and the Dreepy Siblings quietly blocked the Lycanroc Leader's retreat.
They were fed up with this one already, lacking strength and ability, acting all mighty in front of a Trainer?
Even Rayquaza wouldn't dare act so smug!
"Ow—"
The Lycanroc Leader sensed the malice coming at it, promptly growling in warning to Hydreigon and Gengar.
In the next second.
Whap!
Its head got hit hard by Dragapult's tail, causing it to stagger forward, and as it turned to look, Gengar's eyes suddenly unleashed Dark Light, firmly locking it in place, unable to move.
"Ow?"
"Woof!"
The other Lycanrocs saw their leader being bullied and wanted to rush to help, but Steelix twisted its long body to block their way, looking down at these "little dogs".
"Roar?"
The massive, mountain-like figure made the Lycanrocs shy away.
A few plucky ones tried passing around it, but seeing Steelix lift its foot when they lifted theirs, and stop when they stopped.
Deflated.
Everyone has seen the ferocity of Aggron; some of their companions are still lying down!
And heedless, Hydreigon began showcasing its Evil Attribute Pokémon nature, sneering while slapping the Lycanroc Leader's face with its tail.
The equally vile Dragapult was in charge of hitting its head.
Whap! Whap!
The Lycanroc resisted, baring its teeth: "Awooo!"
Whap! Whap!
The Lycanroc felt dizzy: "Ow..."
Whap! Whap!
The Lycanroc whimpered softly: "Moo..."
Whap juu!
The Lycanroc cried tearfully: "Eeek..."
Such bullying of dogs! If you dare, make it move a bit!
"Shasa?"
Hydreigon, seeing it still unconvinced, nodded its left head at Gengar, and once Black Gaze was lifted, it pressed straight on the Lycanroc Leader.
It struggled fiercely, yet remained immobile, only feeling a vast energy brewing above its head, scaring it into wailing.
"Cheedo~"
Mawile scoffed, it was about to go punch this guy if the Trainer hadn't gotten mad.
Blasted by the dog's reliance on humans!
Baimu walked up to the Lycanroc Leader, seeing it still locked by Black Gaze's secondary effect, was somewhat speechless: "Remember to answer when asked next time, got it? Take the conversation seriously!"
He pinched its not-so-meaty cheeks.
Based on the food allocated by N, fattening it up was basically impossible, so being thin was normal.
"Moo..."
The Lycanroc Leader didn't dare breathe, stared in horror at the two malicious Pokémon nearby, and the unseen one, nodding frantically at Baimu for fear of another beating.
"Now that's a good dog."
Baimu patted its head, simultaneously exploring the Midnight Lycanroc's real head structure—
The black curve combining with white mane was on top, feeling like solid rock rather than cutaneous.
With its cooperation, Baimu finally figured out the Wild Pokémon's specific distribution.
Pokémon around the water source mostly had a certain need for it, while some with no need stayed atop the mountain or inside it.
Precise numbers?
The Lycanroc's sparse brain certainly lacked a concept of numbers, not something to ask about.
He instructed these Lycanrocs to drive all Wild Pokémon down to the mountain base.
Then the dogs howled and went.
An arrangement for their future food supply was made, Baimu was determined not just to engage in talk, ordering Pokémon food products from a Pokémon food store in Hoenn according to Helena's list—
Despite wanting to personally make Pokémon food to satisfy their tastes for forever devotion, the amount for thousands was a day's impossible task.
Unless he could figure out cloning.
Speaking of which, Gengar's stomach had lots of Golden Quality Banana Fragrance Fruit, Raspberry Fruit, and Phoenix Pear Fruit, but wasting them on these guys was wasteful.
Such good stuff should go to win other Pokémon's hearts.
"Continue mountain patrol."
Baimu told Aggron.
Aggron nodded, having spent too long at the mountain base, urgently wanting to see the top, surely the view would be impressive.
Moments later.
The Lycanroc Leader returned with many Wild Pokémon, failing to spot Baimu and Aggron, a questioning look flashed across its face.
"Ow?"
"Happy~"
Blissey, who stayed behind to care for injured Pokémon, waved its little hands, thoughtfully explaining the Trainer's whereabouts.
