Swish~
A rustling sound came from the bushes.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine burst out suddenly.
"Minccino!"
A Minccino looked back in panic at the large dog rushing toward it and hurriedly jumped up into a tree.
"Servine, Vine Whip!"
"Servine~!"
Servine stood firm, its Vine Whip swiftly weaving between the tree branches.
"Minccino!"
Minccino glanced back in terror, and in an instant, the Vine Whip wrapped around its body.
"Servine~"
Servine swung hard, sending the Minccino crashing against the tree with a thud.
Minccino fainted.
Natsume threw a Poké Ball.
Pop~
The Poké Ball opened and captured Minccino inside.
Shake~ Shake~ Ding!
Minccino was successfully captured!
"Servine~."
Servine used Vine Whip to lift the Poké Ball and then delivered it to Natsume's hand.
Minccino, a Normal type Pokémon.
In the market, some people refer to Minccino as the housekeeping Pokémon.
Because this type of Pokémon has severe mysophobia, it keeps its residence impeccably clean.
"Great job, Servine."
Natsume praised the Servine at her side.
"Servine~"
Natsume released Minccino.
Eternity Power activated.
A gentle life energy began to heal Minccino's body.
Before long, it woke up.
As soon as Minccino opened its eyes, it saw Arcanine's large head curiously looking at it.
"Minccino!"
Startled, Minccino jumped up and instinctively clung tightly to Natsume's arm.
There was a natural energy about Natsume.
This energy made Minccino feel at ease.
"Calm down, Minccino."
Natsume said to Minccino, "Arcanine is actually very gentle."
"Awooo~"
Arcanine nodded eagerly.
Minccino still looked a bit nervous as it glanced at Arcanine.
After all, it hadn't seemed this friendly when it was chasing after it just moments ago.
Seeing Minccino afraid of him, Arcanine felt a bit disheartened.
Natsume chuckled, "Alright, Arcanine."
"I believe Minccino will warm up to you soon."
"It's getting late, so let's prepare dinner."
"Awooo~"
Arcanine nodded.
Natsume found an empty plot of land.
"Come on out, Dragonair."
Natsume released Dragonair.
Dragonair's imposing presence frightened nearby Pokémon, causing them to flee immediately.
Therefore, Natsume decided to return Dragonair to its Poké Ball.
"Minccino."
Minccino was startled by the appearance of Dragonair and quickly hid behind Natsume.
"Dragonair~"
Dragonair gently leaned in and greeted Minccino softly.
Feeling Dragonair's kindness, Minccino relaxed.
In the sky, the sun had begun to set.
Natsume set up the tent and laid out a sleeping bag.
Arcanine took the initiative to gather some firewood from around and gently blew a small flame to ignite it.
Natsume set up a pot and placed dead branches underneath it.
he layered Hearty Grains in the pot and added various ingredients, preparing a simple rice dish.
Minccino watched in amazement as Natsume pulled out the ingredients.
The food for wilderness Pokémon was certainly not as nice as the food for pet Pokémon.
In while Poké Balls do not have mind control capabilities, most wilderness Pokémon are actually quite easy to tame once captured.
Firstly, wilderness Pokémon generally adhere to the jungle law of survival of the fittest.
If you win, just not eating me is already a big favor.
Secondly, who would refuse a more comfortable living environment?
Of course, some Pokémon prefer freedom.
Even if they are captured, they are always thinking about escaping.
They might even attack their trainer.
If a trainer encounters a Pokémon that cannot be tamed, most will have to choose to release it.
"Minccino~"
Minccino watched as the fragrant rice dish wafted into the air and drooled uncontrollably.
Natsume chuckled at Minccino's expression. "Looks like you've been waiting a while."
"Next comes the moment of witnessing a miracle."
As she spoke, Natsume lifted the pot lid.
A rich aroma instantly spread throughout the area.
Minccino eagerly placed its hands on the iron pot.
"Be careful, it's hot."
As soon as Natsume finished speaking, Minccino jumped back, blowing on its hand.
"Servine~."
"Awooo."
Servine and Arcanine were amused by the scene.
Natsume took a bowl and filled it for Minccino. "Give it a try."
"Minccino~"
Minccino carefully reached out to take the bowl.
Natsume then filled another bowl for Dragonair and the others.
Shake~ Shake~
"Swadloon~"
From the bushes, a Swadloon peeked out, drawn by the aroma of Natsume's dinner.
"Awooo~"
Arcanine's sense of smell was very keen.
It detected the nearby Swadloon and alerted Natsume.
Natsume followed Arcanine's gaze.
Swadloon, the evolved form of Sewaddle.
It can sense the flow of air with the leaves on its head to detect its surroundings.
Additionally, this type of Pokémon consumes fallen leaves to produce the nutrients that plants need.
As a result, the plants surrounding Swadloon thrive remarkably well.
Natsume glanced at Swadloon's data.
Name: Swadloon
Type: Bug/Grass
Level: lv27
Ability: Chlorophyll
Individual Values: hp 26, Attack 25, Defense 30, Special Attack 23, Special Defense 30, Speed 28
Moves: Protect, Razor Leaf, String Shot, Bug Bite, Struggle Bug, Trailblaze, Pounce

"Nice data."
Natsume waved her hand and smiled at Swadloon. "Come here, Swadloon."
Swadloon looked like a large rice dumpling.
Upon hearing Natsume's voice, it glanced at the Pokémon beside her, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly walked forward.
Natsume's Eternity Power naturally drew Pokémon closer to her.
Among them, Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon felt the strongest affinity.
Swadloon reached the front of Natsume.
Natsume laid a few leaves on the ground and then poured out the remaining food from the pot. "Swadloon, do you live here all by yourself?"
Swadloon shook its head slightly.
It had its own group.
"Would you mind taking me to see your group?"
Natsume said to Swadloon, "I'm here hoping to find some companions to live on my farm."
"Do you think your group might be willing to come with me?"
Natsume was very interested in Swadloon's group.
Swadloon's evolution, Sewaddle, produces silk that can be used as materials for clothing and various household textiles.
It can even be utilized in the medical and beauty industries.
Swadloon's ability allows it to help enhance the land's life force.
From the name Leavanny, which is Swadloon's evolved form, one can deduce what ability this Pokémon possesses.
After Natsume finished speaking, Swadloon fell into silence.
Its expression looked a bit expressionless.
Natsume really couldn't tell what it was thinking.
"Swadloon~"
Swadloon's answer was that it would go back and ask.
Natsume smiled. "Then I'll leave it to you, Swadloon."
