Chapter 16: Three Rules Agreement

Caught stealing by the owner!

At this moment, Bai Jing had an ominous premonition, because Pidgey are social creatures.

Sure enough, one after another, Pidgey popped out from the dense foliage, simply swarming thick and fast.

The Pidgey flock cast unfriendly glances in unison, their meaning clear: Are you moved?

Bai Jing, of course, dared not move!

Just escaped the pursuit of a Beedrill swarm, and now I've provoked a Pidgey flock; am I a jinx?

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I'm leaving right now, huh!"

Unwilling to give up, he cast a Scouting Spell on it; if this Pokémon egg's quality is good, I'll never let it go even if I die.

Pidgey

Gender: Female

Type: Normal, Flying

Ability: Sniper

Stats: Body (B), Physical Attack (A), Physical Defense (B), Special Attack (C), Special Defense (C), Speed (A)

Potential: Elite Four Level

Strength: Novice (Early Stage)

Damn, the quality is excellent; Elite Four Level potential is the ceiling for the Pidgey species.

In the past, Bai Jing would definitely have trained it, but now that he has the System, he doesn't care for this species at this quality.

But not caring doesn't mean letting it go; it can be sold for money, still worth several hundred thousand.

I'll risk it; isn't it just being chased again? I can take it!

So he snatched the Pokémon egg, stuffed it into the System Space, and then jumped straight down!

The Pidgey flock grew furious and went berserk, screaming as they flew over, with various Wind Blade attacks surging like a tide.

Bai Jing, suspended in mid-air, was startled; no wonder they are a volatile species; if hit, would he still be alive?

He quickly spread an Aura Shield to block the attacks, successfully landed on the ground, and then immediately took off running without hesitation!

The relentless Pidgey flock spread their wings and pursued.

Watching Bai Jing being chased away by the Pidgey flock, he then saw some of the remaining Pidgey staring at him with unfriendly eyes.

Slowbro:???

Wait for me, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!

The Pidgey flock kept attacking the Aura Shield, making Bai Jing very annoyed.

While running, he looked around with Zhang Wang, searching for a place to lose the pursuers.

Just then, a figure shot past him with a whoosh!

Oh~ it's Slowbro after all!

"You damn guy, just pretended to be a salted fish, now you're running faster than me!"

But can two legs outrun something flying in the sky?

Of course not!

Without Aura protection, Slowbro was already pecked full of bumps by the Pidgey, screaming in pain!

Unable to endure the torment any longer, it hurried back, trying to squeeze into the Aura Shield.

Bai Jing wouldn't indulge it and directly bounced it away!

"Who are you? Do I know you?"

Slowbro was shocked; listen, does this guy speak human language?

It cried out in panic!

"My Pokémon?"

Bai Jing snorted, "You know you're my Pokémon? Tell me yourself, is there any Pokémon that disobeys its Trainer?"

"With your laziness, what use do I have for you? What use do I have for you?"

Slowbro cried; this guy is committing murder, I'm going to sue him!

Seeing it covered in wounds and pitiful, Bai Jing finally relented and pulled it in.

Great, now completely surrounded by the Pidgey flock, even the view is blocked, so he can only rely on the Aura Shield to hold on.

Bai Jing simply stopped caring; anyway, no matter how much this flock of Pidgey attacks, they won't break his defense.

Taking out Potion, he began applying it to Slowbro.

"Regarding training, let's make three rules!"

He wanted to take this opportunity to persuade Slowbro and reach an agreement.

Is this negotiation?

Looking at Bai Jing, then at the still-attacking Pidgey flock, and finally at the Aura Shield, Slowbro issued a strong protest.

Do you think negotiating under these circumstances is fair?

"I think it's very fair; do you dare object?"

Slowbro didn't dare!

"How about this: at other times, I won't care how much you slack off, but during training and battles, you must go all out and obey my commands!"

Slowbro felt aggrieved; the training time is set by you anyway, do I have any time to slack off? I won't fall for it!

"Don't worry, I still have school, so you have plenty of time to slack off, and once your strength reaches Pseudo-Legendary, I guarantee I'll never restrict you again; you can lie flat every day if you want!"

"Just work hard for a few years and enjoy a lifetime; where can you find such a good deal?"

"How about it? Do you agree?"

The lazy otter began calculating in its mind.

Just need to work hard for a few years? That's not unacceptable!

But it felt it could still negotiate better terms!

I want fish and meat every day!

I want a luxurious dwelling!

I want Meina girls!

"No problem—as long as you're willing to work hard, you'll get all of it. I'll replace your ball with a luxurious one in a few days."

The lazy otter raised its paw—deal!

Bai Jing gripped its paw—deal!

Finally convinced it—hard work indeed!

Seeing the Lieque flock still attacking relentlessly, Bai Jing grew angry!

He extended his Waveguide Barrier, pushing them all away.

He warned: "You should know, it's not hard for me to eliminate you with my power. I advise you to stop while you still can—if you anger me, you'll regret it!"

"As for the Spirit Egg, its survival rate in human hands is one hundred percent—I guarantee it will be born healthy and grow up strong."

The survival rate of Spirit Eggs in the wild is not high, unlike in human hands, which have all sorts of high-tech support.
