Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"It's only level 20. What exactly is the basis for the so-called B and C levels?"

"Also... we can't live here anymore."

Chi Hong's gaze grew increasingly cold as he looked at the humanoid cat that had been knocked to the ground by Miao Miao's attack and was struggling incessantly.

Over there, the large wolfhound followed the man into an abandoned construction site in the distance, but he didn't immediately give chase.

A wounded wolfhound unleashes its ferocity and hunts down an ordinary man with a missing arm; the outcome is obvious.

"I'm so weak, meow. I'm clearly not good at fighting, meow."

"Koike, what should we do, meow?"

Miaomiao scratched her head and turned to look at Chi Hong.

Looking at the familiar Team Rocket Meowth in front of him, Chi Hong finally smiled.

Fortunately.

Thankfully, he didn't call himself "little devil".

"It's a pity there are no Poké Balls; it could have been sold for a good price," Chi Hong said, shaking his head with a hint of helplessness.

"?"

"I brought one with me; it's a cat I found during a previous battle."

Meow Meow pulled out a red and white ball with her backhand. Of course, Chi Hong had no idea where it came from.

"Oh?"

"Good job! As expected, having you around brings good things, meow! After all, you're the kind of cat that brings good luck!"

Chi Hong's eyes lit up, and he squatted down to pat Miao Miao's head.

"But...meow...it feels so good, meow." Meow squinted its eyes and asked, "But I remember we just subdued the Odd-colored Yveltal, didn't we, meow?"

"This must have taken a lot of effort, Meowth. Garchomp and the others are exhausted. How did we end up here all of a sudden, Meowth?"

"And... although I'm not as good at battling as Garchomp and Metagross, I always feel like I'm getting weaker, Meow!"

What Miaomiao said stunned Chi Hong!

This cat can communicate; it's more like a person than a Pokémon!

It seems to remember many things that happened in the game!

This is an absolutely wonderful cat that can be your best buddy!

"I'll tell you slowly later, meow meow, give it another hit, make it completely unconscious!"

Chi Hong stood up, glanced at the humanoid cat struggling to crawl on the ground, trying to escape, and said.

"Then I'll use 'Stop When You've Got It,' meow!" Meow Meow directly chose a skill to unleash based on Chi Hong's request!

The "point-and-run" mechanic in the game means that the Pokémon will not be knocked down. This means that even if the opponent has low HP, this attack will force it to have 1 HP left.

"Hehehehehe..."

Meow Meow extended its paw, a sinister smile on its face, and with one swift movement, knocked the humanoid cat unconscious.

"Where did you learn that laugh? It sounds like you've read a novel." Chi Hong threw out the red and white balls, and unsurprisingly, the humanoid cat was "tamed".

"Meow?" Meow pointed at Chi Hong and said, "Isn't that the laugh you kept making on our previous journey?"

Chi Hong was taken aback, and instantly recalled the character he had modified in the game. Indeed, the author had a strange habit: whenever he won a battle, the character's dialogue box would display the words "hehehe".

It turns out it was the villain's laughter that he learned from himself!

"But speaking of which, meow, if you let the big wolfhound kill him directly, wouldn't that make it impossible to find out who's behind it all, meow?"

Meow Meow crossed her arms over her chest, one paw stroking her round chin, looking like a great detective.

"It doesn't matter at all. I know in my heart that I'll go see them tomorrow."

"Let's go take a look."

Chi Hong put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the abandoned construction site, with Miao Miao beside him, curiously looking around.

"Something's not right, meow. Isn't this Luna Reach, meow?"

Meow Meow voiced his question. He was very clever, though he sometimes made silly mistakes, but ultimately he was still a smart Meow Meow.

"No, you can think of it as another world, where there are also many creatures similar to Pokémon."

"I came to this world with you Pokémon, I don't know why."

Chi Hong gave a brief explanation, and Miao Miao nodded, not showing much surprise.

Just kidding. Even Pokémon that controls time and space got beaten up by Garchomp and the others before being caught by Pokémon with a single Ultra Ball.

It's just being transported to another world, nothing serious, meow.

Before the person and the cat even reached their destination, they heard the low growl of a large wolfhound. Judging from the noise, it was tearing at something.

As he got closer, the strong smell of blood hit him, and Chi Hong stopped in his tracks. Although he had prepared himself mentally, it was better not to see anything disgusting if he could avoid it.

"Big wolfhound! Come back!"

Chi Hong called out, and received an immediate response.

"Awoo."

The large wolfhound let out a soft bark, followed by a soft dragging sound.

"That big wolfhound guy dragged someone over here, meow," Meow Meow said, jumping onto Chi Hong's shoulder.

"......"

Chi Hong was speechless.

A short while later, the large wolfhound appeared in Chi Hong's sight, dragging a mangled and unrecognizable corpse.

The man's eyes were wide open, and a look of terror still lingered on his face. His neck was almost broken, charred black from being bitten by a large wolfhound, and it emitted a burnt smell.

The Great Wolfhound also used its Flame Fang...

The large wolfhound is exceptionally fierce towards enemies who want to assassinate Chi Hong.

"Well done..."

Chi Hong glanced at the claw marks on the Great Wolfhound, which were still bleeding. After recalling the Great Wolfhound to its Poké Ball, he said to the Poké Ball, "I have to take you to the Pokémon Hospital. It's really troublesome not having a Pokémon Center."

"Never mind that for now, meow. How come my strength has shrunk so much, meow?"

"According to you humans, my level has dropped, meow."

Meow Meow hugged Chi Hong's head from behind, her cat face showing displeasure.

"I'm not really sure about that either. Let's go to the hospital first. The big dog is still bleeding, so we need to take a taxi."

"Of course, my funds are far from enough to treat the large wolfhound, so I need to borrow money now!"

Chi Hong took out his old, cracked rice-shaped phone, which he had used for who knows how many years, and dialed Zhaoxia's number.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered. The groggy Chaoxia instantly sobered up after hearing Chi Hong say that the large wolfhound needed treatment but he didn't have the money.

"Let's go, we're going to the hospital," Chi Hong said, waving his hand.

Meowth licked its paws and said, "Little Pokémon, put me in the Poké Ball. I still want to sleep."

About half an hour later, inside the pet hospital, Chaoxia stroked the head of the large wolfhound to indicate that he didn't need to worry.

The large wolfhound was still wagging its tail, looking docile, making it hard to imagine its fierce appearance from not long ago.

Click~~

The Poké Ball opened automatically, and the Meowth that Chi Hong had put inside the Poké Ball came out on its own.

Meowth, like Ash's Pikachu, is a Pokémon that dislikes entering its Poké Ball. This isn't shown in the games, but since this is the real world, and Team Rocket's Meowth is the "true" protagonist, it naturally retains this dislike of entering its Poké Ball.

He was clearly awake now and came out immediately.

Meow~~~

Meow stretched out his arms and legs, unlike other meows, he stretched out his two front paws like a human.

After all, it's a cat that walks on two legs.

"Oh? So cute!"

"When did I get such an adorable pet?!"

Chaoxia's eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out to touch Miaomiao's head.

*Smack!*

Meow Meow ruthlessly slapped Chaoxia's hand away and said in a low voice, "Little girl, don't you dare lay a hand on me, meow!"

"Huh?" Zhaoxia remained frozen in place, her outstretched hand still in the same position.
