Chapter 29: The Legend of Minior

By now, Xiaoyan had used twenty-nine Safari Balls and caught Bulbasaur, Psyduck, Gible, Eevee, Pidgeot, and Rhydon. Just catching Gible had cost Xiaoyan eleven Safari Balls. At this moment, a Bagon snatched the hat off Xiaoyan's head and put it on its own.

"Bagon, give my hat back quickly!" After hearing this, the Bagon instead danced happily on the spot.

(I only have one last Safari Ball left. Although I really want to catch this Bagon, I'm also quite interested in the Minior in the photo.)

Just then, a huge figure appeared in the sky, flying over Xiaoyan's head and heading towards a canyon not far away.

"Come out, Charizard! Follow it and see what's going on!" No one knew that the Bagon quietly jumped onto Charizard's back and followed them.

"If I remember correctly, there's a place called Dragon Valley in the Safari Zone. Maybe there really is a Minior there."

"But I already have a Dragonite, a Dragonite that can automatically change size, a really strong Dragonite. So what's the point of catching a Minior?" Just as Xiaoyan was feeling troubled, the person riding on a Salamence in front suddenly landed on the ground. Xiaoyan and Charizard remained in the sky, observing everything. He saw an injured Horsea lying on the ground.

"Salamence, go and bring the Horsea here."

Xiaoyan couldn't just stand by and watch the Pokémon he wanted being taken away, so he decided to take action.

"Charizard, Flamethrower!"

A stream of flames rained down from the sky and hit the Salamence. Seeing this, the Horsea tried to escape, but because it was injured, it couldn't run very fast.

"Horsea!" The warden Caesar suddenly rushed out and hugged the Horsea.

The person with the Salamence looked up and saw the little boy riding on the Charizard under the light.

"So it's just a kid. Salamence, use Hyper Beam."

"Charizard, Blast Burn."

The two moves collided in the air, creating a huge explosion. Everyone was affected. At this moment, Xiaoyan noticed that the Bagon from before had also secretly followed them and was about to fall to the ground. The Bagon was tightly holding onto Xiaoyan's hat.

"Charizard, save it!" Charizard folded its wings and dived rapidly towards the Bagon. After catching the Bagon, it spread its wings and glided to the ground.

"That was so close! But Bagon, how did you get here?"

The Bagon was overjoyed and danced around after hearing this.

"Forget it. I have to deal with my enemy in front of me first."

The Salamence hadn't fallen yet, and its trainer was still standing firmly.

"Kid, do you know that anyone who gets in my way is doomed to go to hell?"

"All I know is that I'll win this battle."

At this moment, both Pokémon were in a fighting stance, waiting for their trainers' orders.

"Charizard, Dragon Pulse."

"Salamence, Blast Burn."

The two moves collided again, creating a cloud of smoke. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Xiaoyan's lips.

After the smoke cleared, Charizard was seen in the sky.

"Dragon Rush." Charizard rammed into the Salamence at super high speed, but the Salamence still didn't fall.

"Flamethrower." It was time to deliver the finishing blow.

"Bang!" The Salamence finally fell. The warden Caesar quickly came over and pointed his gun at the Salamence's trainer.

"You little brat, how dare you try to get your hands on the Horsea! If it weren't for the law, I would have shot you dead long ago."

The Bagon ran over and returned the hat to Xiaoyan. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Xiaoyan's mind. He took out his last Safari Ball.

"Bagon, come with us, okay?" The Bagon nodded and then touched the Safari Ball by itself. After the Bagon went inside, the Safari Ball shook a few times and then stopped.

"Bagon, I hope we can get along well in the future."

At this moment, the warden Caesar walked over.

"This isn't over yet. You still need to transfer the Pokémon you caught in the Safari Zone into Poké Balls."

"Is the Horsea okay?" Xiaoyan asked worriedly when he saw the injured Horsea beside him.

"Thanks to you for protecting the Horsea and preventing it from being taken away by the Pokémon hunter." This was the first time Xiaoyan had seen Caesar with such a gentle attitude. He wasn't pointing his gun at him, and Xiaoyan felt an indescribable sense of touch in his heart.

"It was just a small thing. I'll go transfer the Pokémon into Poké Balls first. You guys can catch up." It was better not to interrupt their reminiscing.

"Horsea, you've grown up."

The Horsea looked at Caesar lovingly.

Xiaoyan watched their backs from afar and thought that no matter how serious a person was, there was still a bit of warmth in their heart.

"Alright, guys, get along well. Let's continue our journey."

After saying goodbye to Caesar, Xiaoyan left with the Poké Balls he had. However...

"Why do trainers have to send the Pokémon they catch to Professor Oak's when they have more than six Pokémon?"

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

"The professors force trainers to hand over their Pokémon for research so that they can write reports."

Currently, Xiaoyan has seventeen Pokémon, including Charizard, Arceus, Ho - Oh, Entei, Riolu, Pikachu, Squirtle, Gyarados, Umbreon, Eevee, Psyduck, Pidgeot, Bulbasaur, Bagon, Rhydon, Dragonite, and Gible.
