Chapter 14: The Lazy Otter Who Just Wants to Lie Flat
Early the next morning, Bai Jing arrived in the wild forest.
Once released, the Lazy Otter immediately found a comfortable spot and flopped down right away.
Bai Jing, helpless, could only reason with it.
"You can't be a salted fish anymore; you're simply wasting your talent!"
"Don't you want to become a strong one and be worshipped by the Pokémon?"
The Lazy Otter thought for a moment and then nodded.
Vanity isn't unique to humans; Pokémon are no exception.
"Then you should train hard, punch the Starter Trio, kick the Pseudo-Legendaries, and even challenge the Legendary Pokémon, become a warlord ruling a region, and enjoy endless glory!"
"Now you are my Pokémon; as long as your strength rises, my status will rise with it. By then, forget about various delicious foods and Energy Cubes; even if you want a Milotic as a mate, I'll find one for you!"
"How about that? Are you tempted?"
The Lazy Otter leaped up, flexed its muscles, roared wildly at the sky, and was full of motivation!
"Excellent!"
Bai Jing was very satisfied; this was exactly the state he wanted.
"See that Caterpie ahead? Attack it!"
The Lazy Otter rushed forward and punched it flying!
"See that Rattata over there? Deal with it!"
The Lazy Otter rushed forward and kicked it unconscious!
Thus, one human and one Pokémon began wreaking havoc in the forest, and wild Pokémon immediately suffered!
"See that Beedrill over there? Punch... ah no, come back!"
It was too late, because they had provoked a beehive; dozens to over a hundred Beedrill charged with murderous intent!
In the forest, the two most untouchable races, Beedrill and Spearow, when provoked, fight to the death!
"Run!"
The human and the Pokémon ran ahead while the Beedrill swarm chased behind, thus an extreme parkour show unfolded in the forest!
In the end, they only escaped the pursuit by jumping into the river.
Aura power formed a shield; Bai Jing, not a drop of water touching him, dragged the dead-fish-like Lazy Otter ashore.
It wasn't that he couldn't defeat the Beedrill swarm, but it was unnecessary.
Survival in the wild, where nature selects the fittest, is extremely cruel; if they were all injured, this clan would eventually be wiped out.
That would be too sinful; it's not something a human should do!
"Come, eat something first to replenish your stamina."
Bai Jing took out Pokémon food and Energy Cubes for the Lazy Otter while he himself ate dry rations.
"Keep up this motivation; by the way, you are about to evolve soon; I'll prepare an Evolution Stone for you later."
After eating, Bai Jing stood up and said, "Let's stop fighting monsters for now; train your skills, and don't neglect your stamina either."
He took out a bandage with a pocket on it, capable of holding iron weights.
One piece weighs ten jin.
Bai Jing had taken these from the martial arts hall; from childhood to adulthood, he had used such things countless times.
He strapped weights to the Lazy Otter's four limbs, totaling forty jin; once it got used to them, he would gradually increase the load.
Seeing its miserable expression, Bai Jing comforted it, "It's okay; I'll accompany you too; family members must share both bitterness and sweetness!"
Who knew that after he strapped a hundred jin of weight onto himself and turned around, the Lazy Otter had flopped down again.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
The Lazy Otter lazily responded twice, indicating it couldn't get up!
Bai Jing was furious; this guy only had three minutes of enthusiasm!
"Think of delicious food! Think of the honor of being revered! Think of the incredibly beautiful Milotic!"
The Lazy Otter still shook its head; these things were good, especially the Milotic girl, but they were just too tiring!
Can I give up? Being a salted fish isn't bad either!
"You... do you believe I'll beat you?"
Go ahead and hit me; even if you kill me, I won't get up!
Facing the shameless Lazy Otter, Bai Jing truly had no way to deal with it for the moment.
It was truly a ruffian meeting a scoundrel, utterly helpless!
"Fine, you won't get up, right?"
Bai Jing dragged it away!
The Lazy Otter wore a look full of question marks; what do you want to do?
"Heh heh, I'll throw you to the Beedrill swarm; let's see if you still pretend to be a dead fish!"
The Lazy Otter was terrified; is this something a human would do?
Struggling violently, it couldn't twist free from Bai Jing and could only fret inwardly.
Bai Jing sneered repeatedly; did it really think he couldn't deal with it?
"Ding! Treasure detected fifteen meters above."
Above?
Bai Jing looked up and saw it was actually in a tree.
"I'll deal with you later!"
After tossing the Lazy Otter down, Bai Jing began to climb the tree.
"So it's a bird's nest!"
Upon closer inspection, there were even more surprises: inside, besides a pink Evolution Stone, there was also a Pokémon Egg.
