Actually, the reason Gloom is smelly is just their way of self-protection. As long as a Gloom feels calm and safe, it won't emit its usual odor.
And on this day.
Natsuhiko used it to test the radiation range of the "Sweet Fragrance" honey and the number of Pokémon it would attract.
Fortunately, to make Energy Blocks, Natsuhiko still brought plenty of containers.
After testing.
One ounce is the optimal measurement.
The radiation range is about three to four kilometers, attracting between thirty to sixty Pokémon.
Although it attracts strong Pokémon, it also attracts some weaker ones.
But those weaker ones are just right for Eevee and the others to practice on.
It's not considered a waste.
With the help of the newly joined Audino, the Pokémon can freely engage in battle.
Of course, this doesn't mean they can ignore attacks. They should dodge what needs dodging and defend against what needs defending. Reckless behavior of not dodging, Natsuhiko does not support and it should not become a habit.
By the time the measurement was confirmed, it was already dark.
No matter how confident Natsuhiko is in his strength now, using this method to attract Pokémon at night is very unwise.
Pokémon also need nighttime to rest well.
Physical fatigue can be healed by Audino, but for mental fatigue, only a good night's sleep is the best solution.
This.
The spiritually exhausted Alakazam also awakened slowly as night fell.
To welcome and celebrate the addition of Audino.
Natsuhiko rarely prepared barbecue for all Pokémon at night.
Occasionally changing the flavor and making small adjustments won a lot of cheering from the Pokémon.
Audino was still unclear about what "barbecue" really was.
But soon.
With the Pokémon's momentum in division of labor and cooperation, once Natsuhiko sprinkled seasoning and the sizzling grease dripped into the fire from the barbecue.
Audino began to salivate.
Initially, Audino felt a bit embarrassed.
But when it saw the other Pokémon looking pretty much the same as it did, it no longer hid its feelings.
As a "doctor," Audino integrated quickly into Natsuhiko's Pokémon team.
Its gentle voice, super healing ability, and cute appearance quickly won the approval of Natsuhiko's Pokémon.
It's not an exaggeration to say.
A support Pokémon like Audino is even more important to Natsuhiko and his Pokémon than an Elite Trainer Level Pokémon out in the wild.
Dragapult: ???
However, whether Dragapult counts as Elite Trainer Level, Natsuhiko is not certain.
"Baluya."
But when Natsuhiko was about to distribute the barbecue.
An unexpected guest arrived again.
With Dragapult's reminder, Natsuhiko once again saw the shadowy figure hiding in the firelight shadows from a distance.
This time.
The distance between the two was undoubtedly much closer.
Natsuhiko frowned.
The person's appearance was silent.
Even Alakazam couldn't sense the approach of the other.
If it weren't for Dragapult's reminder, Natsuhiko might not have noticed.
Looking at the figure standing at a distance, staring straight here, Natsuhiko hesitated slightly, then said to Dragapult:
"Let's go over and have a look."
Dragapult silently nodded.
Natsuhiko then grabbed a piece of barbecue, unfolded his arms holding the barbecue, indicating he had no ill intentions.
He strode towards the other person.
And when that person saw Natsuhiko approaching.
They seemed a bit flustered.
Taking slow steps back.
Natsuhiko wasn't surprised at this situation.
But when he really approached a certain distance.
Barely able to make out the figure looking like a wildman and the massive creature hidden in the shadows behind them.
His pupils narrowed instinctively.
Thick metal armor, sturdy body, huge hammer-like tail, overall appearance resembling a dinosaur-like Pokémon.
"Kommo-o...Hakamo-o!"
