Chapter 72: Audino

Chapter 72: Audino Glancing at his injured leg, Yuga decided to take a brief rest here before continuing. Even though the pain in his leg had subsided, a little break wouldn't hurt, especially since he wasn't in a rush.

After the heart-pounding experience he just went through, it seemed wise to take some time to calm his emotions.

With those thoughts in mind, Yuga leaned against a large tree and sat down.

Just then, Chimecho hanging around the tree let out a delighted jingle as they swayed.

Yuga quickly got up and asked, "What's going on?"

Rushing over, he saw that it was because of a hollow in the tree, filled with a pile of tree fruits.

Sighing, Yuga muttered to himself, "Oh well! What's the big deal? It's just a bunch of tree fruits. Am I that starved for food? Besides, these clearly belong to someone. We better leave before... the owner comes back..."

Just as Yuga was about to turn around to leave, he spotted a pink humanoid creature standing just behind him, about his height.

"Au~di~no!"

The creature held a wounded Weedle in its arms and had some green plants with it, likely herbs.

"Um... hello..."

Yuga stammered awkwardly as he looked at the creature.

Yoga's Inner Turmoil: What happened to me today? I encounter my dad everywhere I go, or should I say it's my mom. Both Salamence and this Audino are females.

Audino glanced at Yuga, then gently placed the wounded Weedle on the ground. It used a Healing Wish to soothe its emotions and then proceeded to crush the herbs it had brought, applying them to Weedle wounds.

Seeing Audino paying no attention to him, Yuga hurriedly said, "We're just passing by, just passing through, we'll leave right away."

"Riiing... Riiing..."

The nearby Chimecho also sensed the strong aura of the high-level Pokémon on Audino and knew they were outmatched. It quickly echoed its agreement.

"Au~di~no."

At that moment, after treating Weedle wounds, Audino reached out and stopped Yuga, who was about to leave.

Nervously, Yuga asked, "Wh-what... what's wrong?"

Audino pointed at Yuga injured right leg, then gently pushed him to sit down and used Heal Pulse on Yuga leg. It followed up by applying the remaining herbs to his leg.

Surprisingly, high-level Pokémon were indeed high-level. The Heal Pulse it employed was far more potent than the one used by the Level 20-something Chimecho. Yuga right leg instantly deflated, though it still had a slight bruise.

Seeing how gentle Audino was, both Yuga and Chimecho sighed in relief.

As Audino showed no intention of harming them, Yuga and Chimecho decided not to rush to leave. Instead, they chose to sit and rest on the side.

Before long, the Weedle that Audino had brought back had recovered quite a bit and hopped away happily.

Yuga was curious—how could there be a Audino here?

Audino was a rare Pokémon, often monopolized by the Joy family. Their appearance in the wild was extremely rare.

All people in the Pokémon world, whether they are ordinary folks or Trainers, know that the Joy family excels at raising four specific species of Pokémon: Chansey lines, Audino, Wigglypuff, and Comfey. Among them, Chansey and Audino are particularly well-known.

In the world of human society within the Pokémon world, most Chansey lines And Audino reside within the Joy family. This is their safety net for survival.

Similarly, paralleling the Joy family Chansey lines And Audino, the Jenny family specializes in the Growlithe lines, as well as Herdier lines. The Jenny family is also adept at nurturing Watchdog and Gumshoos, corresponding to the Joy family Wigglypuff and Comfey.

For this Audino to appear in the wild, with such high level and aptitude, is indeed peculiar.

During Yuga short stay here, several Pokémon arrived seeking assistance from Audino to tend to their injuries. It appeared that Audino played the role of a healer in this area.

Before long, Audino brought a pile of fruits to Yuga side, gesturing that they were for him.

Yuga sighed in admiration; it was clear that Audino was indeed chosen by the Joy family to serve as one of their aides. It was gentle not only with Pokémon but also with humans.

Yuga also marveled at how different the real world was from the animated world. There were significant differences in the integration and interaction among Pokémon from different regions.

In the animated series, it was rare to see Pokémon from other regions within a specific region. However, here, Trainers with Pokémon from various regions could be encountered all over the place.

Take Audino for example—it was a Pokémon from Unova region, where even the Joy family Audino breeding centers were located. Yet, one appeared here.

The Trainer profession had a long history, and over the years, Trainers had left their footprints all over different regions. Moreover, with the current convenience of transportation, this phenomenon had become even more common.

So, while it wasn't common to encounter Pokémon from other regions in the wild, it wasn't entirely surprising either.

However, Yuga was still astonished that such an extremely rare Pokémon as Audino had appeared here. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Holding the fruits that Audino had brought, Yuga was uncertain whether he should eat them. Some of these fruits were not suitable for human consumption, but Chimecho seemed to be enjoying them.

After thinking for a moment, Yuga took out some human food from his backpack and handed it to Audino, saying, "Thank you for helping me with my injury earlier. This is human food, and it's very delicious. Give it a try."

Audino took the food hesitantly, put it in its mouth, and its eyes lit up. Clearly, it enjoyed the food a lot and finished it in no time.

After finishing the food, Audino turned its eyes to Yuga, staring at him with a meaningful look, clearly conveying its intentions.

Without hesitation, Yuga took out more food and handed it to Audino. In the end, Audino ate quite a lot, depleting almost half of Yuga food reserves.

Originally, these were meant for Yuga himself. The Pokémon usually consumed Pokéblocks, and these human foods could have sustained Yuga for many days. He hadn't expected Audino to have such a large appetite.
