Chapter 52 - New Member

"Grrr! Growl~"

"You want to join me in my training?"

"Growl~."

"Sorry, I cannot do that."

The Growlithe in front of me looked at me in shock. However, before he could ask me anything, I said.

"I only train my companion and family members. You are neither of them."

"Growl…."

"That is why I want to ask you if you want to join my team."

"Grr?!?"

"Yup. What do you think?"

"Growl~ Grrr!"

I smile at him before placing the Pokeball in front of him. He presses the Pokeball buŧŧon on his own before suddenly the Pokeball opens up and swallows the Growlithe. After a few seconds, the Pokeball still indicates that I already caught the Growlithe.

I pick up the Pokeball and release my newly caught pokemon. When released, Growlithe tackled me and began to lick my face covering my face with his saliva. I laugh at his enthusiasm before picking him up and looking him in the eyes.

"From now on, your name will be Leo."

"Growl~ Grrr!!"

"Welcome to the family, Leo."

"Growl~."

I place him down on the ground and look at Lucina before saying.

"Sorry about this, Lucina. I should have talked to you first about which of us will catch him."

Lucina shakes her head and smiles a little.

"It is okay. I can search for other pokemon."

"Thank you. So! What about another training?"

"Sure!"

For the rest of the day, we do endurance training by creating a sphere of water with the same pressure as a deep ocean using Flowing Rune's power, a speed training by running around our tent with a heavy object on our body. The last thing we do is free for all fight between all of us.

By the end of the sparring, the area becomes a war zone. Many craters on the ground, the lake nearby almost out of the water by Leo's fire or my magic. The forest almost catches on fire, and many of the pokemon around the area decide to flee from us.

After heals all of us, I take out the kitchen equipment and begin to cook some food for all of us.

~The next day~

I open my eyes and see Leo and Jojo sleep on top of me while Uni sleeps on top of Lucina. I place both pokemon away from me, get up from the sleeping bag, and walk away from the tent.

I take a deep breath and let the morning air come into my lungs. After doing a light exercise for a few minutes, I take out my towel and bath item from the pocket dimension before walking toward the nearby lake.

As I take off all my clothes and begin to walk toward the lake, and take some of the water into the bucket and begin to clean my body using soap and clean my hair using the shampoo.

"Good morning, Lucina."

"Morning."

I smile at her before looking at her from top to bottom. Her straight brown hair that was usually tied into a ponytail is now flowing into her waist. My eyes then see her perky brėȧst with a pink nɨppŀė that taunts me. Lastly, my eyes see her vȧġɨnȧ that she recently shaved at my request.

"Do you like them?"

Lucina touched her brėȧst while saying that.

"Of course."

"Do you want to do it?"

I look at Lucina in surprise before saying.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Come on now, take me."

As a gentleman that I am, I obey the lady's request.

~Five hours later~

We continued to explore the area after we finished eating our breakfast. After walking for a few hours, we arrive in front of a massive lake in the middle of the forest. This lake is five times larger than the previous lake, and this lake is full of life.

I can see a lot of Poliwag relaxing near the lake. There is also a Poliwhirl among the pack of Poliwag. Inside the lake is a group of Magikarp and Whiscash swimming around.

When they see us, they take an aggressive stance. However, before they could attack us, Jojo said something to them in the Pokemon language that I don't understand fully. I know that Jojo wants them to know that we are not hostile.

A few seconds later, the biggest Poliwhirl walks toward us and begins to examine us before nodding its head. When the Alpha nods its head, the rest of the pokemon there begin to relax, and even some of the Poliwag begin to walk toward us.

I smile at the adorable sight before tickling them one by one. Lucina and I continue to play with the baby pokemon while Jojo, Uni, and Leo decide to do a friendly spar with each group's alpha. A Poliwhirl, Quagsire, and a Gyarados.

I ignore the explosion that is happening not too far away from us and take out a massive amount of fruit and vegetables from my pocket dimension. Seeing the food I take out from the pocket dimension, all the baby pokemon begin to climb up to my ŀȧp and beg me to feed them.

I smile before feeding them berries. As I feed them berries, the other pokemon begin to walk toward us and look at us with pleading eyes asking if they can eat the fruit and vegetable. When they see me nodding at them, they begin to eat the food with glee.

She found a small Azurill. From its look, this pokemon gets separated from its pack and decides to stay in the pack of Poliwag. The little Azurill latches itself on Lucina's leg and will not let it go. It will follow Lucina around as if she is its mother.

When asked if the Azurill wants to come with us, the little Azurill jumps up and down in excitement.. Just like that, we get ourselves a new family member.
