Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Ring ring—

The chains clanged as Dorombalto twisted.

This is one of the few ways it can pass the time.

In this quiet stone chamber, only it and the chain could make any noise or movement.

Therefore, it always considered the chain to be its most precious possession and always took great care of it, fearing that it might cause any damage.

But now.

It suddenly felt that the two chains were so conspicuous.

They became the biggest obstacle preventing it from leaving this place.

Anger flashed in Doronbaruto's eyes, and he turned and bit down on the chain.

Seeing this, Xia Yan shook his head helplessly.

These two chains were used by the ancients to restrain Dorambaruto; how could it have broken free so easily?

He began, "It's no use, Doronbaluto. These chains were specially made to restrain you. Although I don't know what material they're made of, they're extremely sturdy. You absolutely..."

click!

Xia Yan's expression froze.

A very fine crack appeared on the black chain where Dronbalut's jaws met, and the crack continued to spread as Dronbalut increased its strength.

Can you leave behind feelings?

Xia Yan looked at it in surprise.

It turns out that Dorambaruto can break free of its restraints, and its growth has exceeded the upper limit of its estimated strength.

It was only because Dorambaruto didn't know that this was what bound it that it hadn't made a move—no, hadn't taken a bite.

"Wait a minute, Dorombalut!"

Xia Yan quickly stepped forward to stop it.

If it really breaks free, then the subsequent arrangements will be ineffective, won't they?

"Baruya—"

Dorombalut released his mouth and rubbed it repeatedly.

'It's so hard...'

He then looked at Xia Yan and called out softly again.

'You're right, it really is hard to bite through.'

Xia Yan's eyes twitched, and he subtly grasped the chain, gently covering the crack with his palm.

"Heh—right?"

Dorombalto nodded repeatedly.

"Actually, I have an even simpler method that should have a pretty good success rate. We can try this first, and if it doesn't work, then we can try breaking it."

"Baruya!"

Dorambaruto didn't think much of it. Since Xia Yan said so, he must have his reasons.

"so."

As Xia Yan spoke, he took a Super Ball out of his backpack.

He is now filled with deep regret, truly.

Because the Poké Balls he had on hand weren't ordinary Poké Balls, but rather these Great Balls.

To defeat ordinary Pokémon, or even elite Pokémon, as long as you capture them and lock them in a Poké Ball, you're guaranteed to win.

However, ordinary Poké Balls and Great Balls seemed somewhat ineffective against the Dragapult in front of them.

Even Xia Yan felt that even if he locked up the Super Ball, Dorombarut could leave at any time if he wanted to.

The most crucial binding force is missing.

Upon seeing the Super Ball, Dorombalto tilted his head to the side.

what is this?

Is it safe to eat?

As he spoke, he tried to bite.

"This isn't for you to eat. It's a Poké Ball, a tool that can hold Pokémon, like this."

Use another Poké Ball to recall Tyrantrum.

Then I opened the Poké Ball and released it.

The monstrous Jaw Dragon looked utterly helpless, but dared not utter a single word.

There was no other way; it couldn't afford to offend either Xia Yan or Dorombalut.

Especially Dorombalut.

As a fellow Dragon-type Pokémon, possessing Dragon-type blood, it felt the most strongly towards Dragapult.

In its eyes, this was not the cute and docile Doronbaluto it seemed, but a prehistoric behemoth.

Compared to Dracobalut, the Tyrannosaurus felt like a little chick; if it hopped around a bit too much, it would be eaten.

"Baruya!"

Dragapult's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the Poké Ball's function.

'That's fun!'

"Shall we give it a try?" Xia Yan asked tentatively.

Dorombalto nodded repeatedly.

Then he gently tapped the Super Ball onto Dorombalto, saying, "Don't resist."

As the Super Ball opened, the red light enveloped Dorombalto, and together they returned to the Super Ball.

Ring ring—

After losing the support of Dronbalut, the chains fell directly to the ground.

As it turned out, Xia Yan's guess was correct. Although the two chains could restrain Dorambaruto, they could not resist changes in space.

Perhaps in ancient times, chains could resist the sealing abilities of ancient Poké Balls, but they are clearly no match for the spatial abilities of modern Poké Balls.

Boom!

Dorombalutto offered no resistance, and the sound of the Super Ball stopping its shaking and locking in rang out.

This means that he has captured Dragapult, whose exact strength is unknown but is certainly very strong!

Before he could even show a look of joy, the Super Ball opened by itself, and Dorombarut reappeared in front of him, no longer bound by chains.

"Baruya!"

Dorombaluto barked merrily, circling around inside the stone chamber.

It really worked.

Xia Yan's expression stiffened slightly.

really.

The Super Ball simply cannot restrain this Rombaruto, even if it is locked.

The result might be that the super ball is destroyed directly, and Dorombaluto returns to his freedom.

"Baruya?"

However, before Doronbaluto could be happy for long, its two wings on either side of its head suddenly twitched, it propped itself up, and looked toward the corner.

Or rather, it is looking in a direction that is far away from this ruin.

"What's wrong, Dorombalto?" Xia Yan asked.

“Baruya…”

'It seems like something is calling to me...'

Dorombalto hesitated, unsure if his feeling was right.

It was as if a voice from afar was constantly calling to it.

It's very light.

It didn't feel anything when it was bound by chains, but it "heard" them as soon as it was freed.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan slowly frowned.

call?

Chapter 175 Even if it's just tied up

Doronbalt felt a faint call?

Xia Yan did not doubt Dorombalto's feelings.

I just have some doubts.

Could they be members of the Dorombalto clan?

A pseudo-divine elf race?

Thinking about this, Xia Yan's mind inevitably started to wander.

But there's no rush.

"Let's leave here first," Xia Yan said.

An ancient ruin that wasn't too big yielded not only an "experience pet" but also a Mega Stone of unknown origin, and surprisingly, a pseudo-legendary Dragapult as a bonus—a Dragapult whose strength was unknown but was definitely very powerful.

However, judging from Dramberto's appearance, it has never participated in a single battle and its understanding of everything is still in its infancy. It is definitely unrealistic to expect it to unleash its full combat power.
