What are you doing here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede asked with a mix of novelty and surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mewtwo’s Dragonite should have left with Mewtwo long ago, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragonite~\" (It said it was going traveling and didn’t need me to deliver letters for now, so I came to find you!)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonite clearly explained the reason, then looked at Hayashi Kaede with eager eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that after Mewtwo released it, the first place it went was Dragonite Island. But after staying there for a while, it missed the taste of those Energy Cubes more and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even regretted why it had saved the last Energy Cube, only for Mewtwo to snatch it away?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should have eaten it earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Dragonite thought about it, the angrier it got, but it couldn’t beat Mewtwo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only blame itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, driven by its obsession with \"the last Energy Cube being stolen,\" it flew back to find Kaede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede nodded, looking up at the Dragonite before him, noticing the desire in its eyes. \"Did you come for food? But I’m not home right now, and I don’t have any food with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragonite~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Dragonite immediately looked disappointed, but it quickly began surveying its surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having delivered letters for Mewtwo for so long, its understanding of the human world was no less than Gardevoir’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one glance, it could tell some kind of Pokémon competition was happening here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Dragonite looked at Hayashi Kaede, raised its claw—sharp light glinting coldly—and let out a roar full of battle intent. \"Dragonite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Hayashi Kaede was taken aback. Looking at Dragonite’s massive body, he asked hesitantly, \"...Are you saying you want me to catch you, then help me win battles?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragonite!\" Dragonite nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yesss....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede’s heart instantly stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonite—a Pseudo-Legendary from the first generation. Putting that title aside, its movepool was incredibly deep. It could use Rain Dance, helping Milotic water the farm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a big belly, one that looked very round and smooth. He wondered what it would feel like to lie on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, it was strong, could fly, and would be a great helper for construction. If it had been here last time when they were widening the water channel, it could have helped Gardevoir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn’t too late now, because in September, they might need to build a road. He didn’t know how much that would cost yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Dragonite could help him, it would definitely save a lot on transport fees....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he ever built a Gym in the future, Dragonite could battle for him too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Hayashi Kaede ran through all the things Dragonite could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But finally, a figure appeared in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Mewtwo in its human form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he caught its Pokémon, would it get angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, Hayashi Kaede shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why overthink it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, he could just cook a few more meals to make it up to Mewtwo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took out a Poké Ball and looked at Dragonite. \"Come on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragonite~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonite tapped the Poké Ball without hesitation. After a few \"ding\" sounds, the Poké Ball fell still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Hayashi Kaede let out a sigh of relief, his eyebrows lifting happily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to raise the Poké Ball and utter a classic line, but considering the crowd, he held back the impulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If catching the Combee was within his plans, then Dragonite was a complete surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his conversation with Dragonite, Hayashi Kaede checked the time and saw it was almost 2:30 PM. The challenge matches were about to start, but the burly man seemed frozen in place. He couldn’t help but remind him, \"The challenge matches are starting. Aren’t you going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Matches?\" The man snapped back to reality, looking at Hayashi Kaede in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had he just seen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Dragonite that big, even larger than his Machamp, flew down, chatted with this young man for a bit, and then became his Pokémon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even said it would help him win the championship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by its flying speed earlier, it seemed even faster than that Elite Four member’s Noivern last year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there any suspense left in this competition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man fell into deep thought and refused to continue the conversation with Hayashi Kaede.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede also realized that Dragonite’s presence might have been too overwhelming, making everyone already anticipate the outcome of the matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he glanced around, he found everyone’s eyes fixed on him. The shock in their eyes, combined with the stunned silence of the entire venue, said it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gathered around also began murmuring discussions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dragonite! That kid has a Dragonite!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, we get to see a Pokémon like that this year? Looks like this year’s challenge champion is decided.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now did Hayashi Kaede feel a headache coming on. He had promised to let Combusken and Serperior battle, and let Bounsweet and Popplio watch their friends fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had just promised Dragonite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only ask Gardevoir to look after them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede released Bounsweet and Popplio, placing Bounsweet in Gardevoir’s hands. \"Gardevoir, can you look after them for me? I need to go compete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gardevoir~\" Taking Bounsweet, Gardevoir nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It originally wanted to come help Hayashi Kaede win first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But judging by the other Trainers’ Pokémon here, it wouldn’t need to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First place would still be his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, when the challenge match time arrived, all the Trainers present hesitated, their eyes turning to Hayashi Kaede as if waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under their collective gaze, Hayashi Kaede walked onto the arena with slight helplessness. Looking at the \"challengers\" below, he released his three Pokémon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragonite, Serperior... and Combusken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Combusken~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it emerged, Combusken looked down at the Trainers and Pokémon below with fierce fighting spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on, let me show you the results of my special training with my Trainer!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after waiting for a long time, Combusken realized no Trainer was coming onto the stage. It noticed the shadow on the ground and suddenly felt something was wrong. Besides Serperior, wasn’t there a giant creature standing behind it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned its head and saw a Pokémon several times its size looking down at it, emitting an intimidating aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combusken couldn’t help but swallow hard, quietly moving closer to its Trainer and tugging on his pant leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede looked down at Combusken, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Combusken?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torchic cautiously pointed at the Dragonite behind it, as if saying, \"My opponent... isn’t that, is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No way I can win. No matter how I look at it, I can’t win...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hayashi Kaede smiled and replied, \"Of course not, it’s our teammate...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1148,"2026-05-30T11:00:43.170Z","2026-06-01T04:31:04.028Z",1,"novelbin.me","5f8699f845a3b88604d69c635a3448527512432e2b1bf0bfb8768e50c6a2cf8a","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-106","pokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-chapter-104",473,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpokemon-making-pokemon-stronger-through-happines-cover.jpg"]
