I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Flying creatures include Dragonite, Garchomp, Hydreigon, Altaria, Flygon...

There should be many dragon-type Pokémon on the island that cannot fly.

"So many Dragon-type Pokémon?" Ye Feng was a little surprised.

"Not many, there are only about three hundred on the whole island. Think about how many trainers we have in China, compared to that, it's very few," Gu Ruyun said.

Ye Feng thought about it and realized it made sense. There are over a billion people in the world, and the number of trainers is at least in the hundreds of millions. A mere few hundred Dragon-type Pokémon is indeed too few.

China itself doesn't have enough, let alone other countries.

"Let's go see the island lord first," Gu Ruyun said, leading the way as they flew towards the center of Dragon Island.

···

"Huh? That's it!" Ye Feng's eyes widened. He couldn't see it clearly from the sky, but as he got closer, he discovered that there was a huge orange figure in the center of the island.

It was an enormous Dragonite, as big as a dozen-story building, sitting in the center of Dragon Island, its eyes slightly closed as if it were dozing off.

"A giant Dragonite?" Ye Feng was incredibly surprised. Wasn't that the mythical Pokémon from the anime? How could it be here?

"Hmm? You know the island owner?" Gu Ruyun asked in confusion.

"Huh? That's the island lord?" Ye Feng's mouth dropped open. What was going on? The giant Dragonite was the island lord?

“Yes.” Gu Ruyun nodded.

"···"

Well, Ye Feng clicked his tongue. He had thought the island lord was a human.

However, it seems quite reasonable for a giant Dragonite to be the master of Dragon Island.

Soon, the two arrived on the ground, in front of the giant Dragonite.

"Dragonite! Here I come again!" Gu Ruyun ran a few steps forward, put her hands in front of her mouth like a megaphone and shouted.

"Poof?!" The Dragonite's signature cry rang out. The giant Dragonite lowered its head, opened its eyes, saw the tiny Gu Ruyun, and nodded.

Ye Feng looked up at the enormous Dragonite, which was more than ten stories high, and felt a rush of breath—it was just too big!!

“Dragonite! This is Ye Feng. I brought him here to catch a Dragon-type Pokémon. My grandfather should have told you, right?” Gu Ruyun shouted.

"Poof!" The giant Dragonite nodded and looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng immediately felt a tightness in his chest; the enormous Dragonite was too oppressive!

Just how strong is this Dragonite? Neither Yveltal nor Xerneas gave it this much pressure.

It's also possible that Yveltal isn't at his peak strength, while Xerneas seems quite mild-mannered? If they were to fight, who would win?

"Hello!" Ye Feng stiffly raised his hand and greeted him.

"Hmm, human... you have a familiar aura." The giant Dragonite lowered its head slightly, and a deep, steady voice entered Ye Feng's mind.

Ye Feng was so frightened by the sight of the enormous head descending that he took a step back.

Was that sound telepathy? Can Dragonite also have telepathy?

"What kind of aura is that?" Ye Feng asked, puzzled.

"Hmm...it looks familiar, but I can't quite place it. It feels like a Pokémon I've seen a long, long time ago," Dragonite replied telepathically after a moment's thought.

"Uh..." Ye Feng scratched his head, completely confused.

"Alright, you're here to capture Pokémon, right? The Pokémon on my island are all very strong and talented. It's just a matter of whether you have the ability to gain their recognition. Go ahead," Dragonite said, then resumed its dozing posture.

"Let's go." Gu Ruyun said, seeing that Dragonite was starting to doze off again.

"Okay." Ye Feng nodded and left with Gu Ruyun.

···

"absurd?"

Just as the two left, a pink figure suddenly appeared in the air.

Mew spun around in the air, looked down at Ye Feng walking on the ground, tapped its mouth with its little hand, and then flew towards the giant Dragonite.

"Huh?" The giant Dragonite suddenly opened its eyes and looked up.

So it was you.

Chapter 188 We're Destined to Meet

Ye Feng rode a Gyarados, while Gu Ruyun sat on the back of a Garchomp.

"Ye Feng, do you have a favorite Pokémon?" Gu Ruyun asked.

Ye Feng looked up at the sky and pondered for a few seconds before tentatively asking, "Rayquaza?"

Gu Ruyun's face twitched, and she looked at Ye Feng as if he were an idiot.

Ye Feng realized he was overthinking things and changed his mind, saying, "If Rayquaza isn't an option, Zekrom or Reshiram would also work."

Seeing that Gu Ruyun's face had darkened, he quickly said, "If all else fails, Dialga or Palkia are also options."

"···%￥#@￥Are you still asleep?" Gu Ruyun finally couldn't help but curse.

"Just kidding," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Gu Ruyun let out a breath, feeling a slight pain in her chest. Would a normal person make such a joke? Bringing up legendary elves right off the bat?

"Can you say something more realistic?" Gu Ruyun sighed.

"Emmm, shall we go check out Garchomp first?" Ye Feng glanced at the Garchomp under Gu Ruyun. Since the Garchomp in this world can learn Dragon Dance, its combat power is much stronger than in the game.

Moreover, judging from what I've seen and heard along the way, capturing a Dragon-type Pokémon is no easy task.

Gu Ruyun's Garchomp is also from Dragon Island, so it must be related to the Garchomp population on the island. Maybe by using this relationship, it might be easier to catch it.

Ye Feng was well aware of the immense benefits that connections could bring.

Gu Ruyun saw through Ye Feng's little scheme at a glance and sneered, "I advise you not to have any crooked ideas. You can only catch Pokémon on Dragon Island by yourself. I went through a lot of hardships to gain the recognition of the Garchomp and get Gible, and I've been raising it ever since."

"Right, Garchomp?" Gu Ruyun patted Garchomp's neck.

"Gah!" Garchomp responded.

"So, what did you go through back then?" Ye Feng asked.

“Hmm… winning in wrestling and running,” Gu Ruyun said.

"...??"

Ye Feng was taken aback. What was this? It didn't sound like a proper test.

"Simply put, it's a contest of strength and speed. You don't necessarily have to win; you just need to let Garchomp see your abilities," Gu Ruyun explained. "To test you, I specifically caught Snorlax and Pidgeot and trained them before I passed."

"Huh? Garchomp isn't your starter Pokémon?" Ye Feng asked in surprise.

Gu Ruyun shook her head: "No. I obtained it through a test, but of course, some people get dragon-type Pokémon from the start."

"Um, I remember meeting a girl with a Mini Dragon back in the Little Phoenix Cup. Was that Mini Dragon also from Dragon Island?" Ye Feng recalled, but couldn't remember its name for the moment.

“Lin Jiajia,” Gu Ruyun said.

"I think that's the name, but I can't quite remember." Ye Feng paused for a moment, realizing that it had been too long and he had forgotten.

Gu Ruyun rolled her eyes.

As they flew and chatted, Ye Feng suddenly had a thought when they passed a lake. He quickly said, "Stop! Gyarados!"

The Gyarados stopped, and Ye Feng jumped to the ground and walked to the lakeside to look around.

"What's wrong?" Gu Ruyun followed, looking at the lake with curiosity.

“I think I just sensed an elf here,” Ye Feng said.

"Here?" Gu Ruyun looked around, then recalled for a moment and said, "Oh, I remember there was a sea dragon here."

"Sea Thorn Dragon?" Ye Feng's eyes lit up.

Seadra, after evolving, is also a Dragon-type Pokémon. Although its base stats are slightly weaker, it doesn't have any particularly obvious type advantages compared to many other Dragon-type Pokémon, so it has its own strengths.

Moreover, Ye Feng's capture of Pokémon is more about fate. When he passed by the lake, he felt attracted by something, which was obviously a connection with this Seadra.

"What? You want to catch this Seadra?" Gu Ruyun asked in surprise. She thought Ye Feng would choose a more powerful Garchomp, Hydreigon, or Dragonite.

"Yes, I have that idea." Ye Feng nodded.

"Alright, you can decide for yourself." Gu Ruyun didn't object. It was Ye Feng's own decision to capture which Pokémon, and she shouldn't interfere too much.

"Seadragon? Seadragon, are you there?" Ye Feng shouted towards the lake.

Ye Feng called out for a while, but there was still no response.

"Isn't he/she here?" Gu Ruyun asked.

"No, it's there, I can feel it." Ye Feng touched his chest, his gaze falling to the bottom of the lake. Although he couldn't see anything, he could clearly feel a pair of eyes watching him.

“Gyarados!” Ye Feng turned around and looked at Gyarados.

"Roar!" Gyarados responded, plunging headfirst into the lake and diving downwards, splashing a large amount of water on the surface before quickly calming down again.

Ye Feng waited patiently. Since he could sense that the Seadra was at the bottom of the lake, the Gyarados would definitely be able to find it when it went down.
