"Mii~," Miltank let out a high-pitched sound.
Cain didn't quite understand what it ant; did shaking her head imply she didn't know who would win in a fight?
"Yadon~"
Slowpoke's eyes glowed blue as he used telepathy, directly connecting with Miltank's consciousness, and the two Pokémon began communicating imdiately.
Cain watched Slowpoke and Miltank from the side without interfering, trusting that Slowpoke wouldn't do anything pointless.
Telepathy is a form of communication at the consciousness level, so the conversation between the two Pokémon ended quickly.
The effect was quite evident. Although Cain didn't know exactly what Slowpoke had said to Miltank, he could see that the alertness and rejection in Miltank's eyes had disappeared. When she looked at Cain, there was a hint of calm in her gaze.
"Master, her story is very similar to mine, except she was separated from her group when she was young. She hopes you can help her find her group, and if you do, she will be willing to follow your orders."
Slowpoke's voice resonated in Cain's mind; he was getting better at using telepathy.
In reality, the communication between Slowpoke and Miltank wasn't limited to that. Slowpoke also shared so of his experiences with Cain and how Cain had changed his life, ultimately convincing Miltank.
Their similar experiences made Miltank more willing to listen to Slowpoke's advice, so she finally decided to try approaching Cain.
Of course, Slowpoke's strength was also an important factor in Miltank's decision.
For a human who had captured a Slowpoke stronger than her and made him so loyal, Miltank's resistance to being captured wasn't very strong.
Upon hearing what Slowpoke had said, Cain was montarily surprised. He knew it wasn't that simple, but if Slowpoke said so, it ant he had managed to convince Miltank with his own thod.
A smile appeared on Cain's lips as he slowly approached Miltank. Although she looked at him with a bit of discomfort, Cain gently placed his hand on her head.
"Please take care of from now on, Miltank," Cain said with a smile.
He hadn't expected Miltank's capture to go so smoothly. He originally thought he would have to battle and then offer her sothing to earn her trust.
"Mii?" Miltank stiffened when Cain's hand approached her, and when she finally felt his hand on her head, she remained still.
She felt the warmth emanating from Cain's small hand, a friction that conveyed trust. It was the first ti she had felt sothing like that since being separated from her group.
She had been living alone all this ti, finding food and shelter without anyone's help, which had made her lonely.
Survival in the wild is harsh, and since she didn't like fighting, her life had been even harder.
The moves she had learned were taught by other kind Pokémon in the wild who showed her how to heal herself when she got hurt, so she only knew supportive moves.
When she was captured, she didn't put up much resistance. In fact, she was the calst among the Miltank in that room, seeing humans as just another type of Pokémon. Losing a fight was sothing she was used to.
But when Slowpoke, who had similar experiences, explained to her the difference between humans and Pokémon and told her about the bonds between them, she decided that it might be worth giving it a try.
She wanted to see what "humans and Pokémon" were all about.
Looking at Miltank, who had remained still, Cain smiled again and patted her head, pulling out an interdiate-level Pokéblock specially prepared for her from his ring.
"Miltank, would you like to try this?"
Miltank sniffed and caught an aroma she had never slled before, a scent so delicious that she involuntarily began to salivate.
Hesitating, she looked at Cain, finding a look of affirmation in his eyes.
"Is he really going to give sothing so delicious?" Miltank thought.
"Yadon~"
The sound from Slowpoke gave her the final confirmation, and Miltank ate that strange and beautiful object that slled so good in one bite.
The instant the Pokéblock entered her mouth, Miltank's eyes lit up, and she began to chew slowly at first, then more quickly, finally swallowing with a hint of regret.
Under the watchful eyes of Cain and Slowpoke, Miltank's pink cheeks blushed slightly.
Cain, seeing Miltank's expression captivated by the Pokéblock, nodded with satisfaction. He had finally won over the timid Miltank.
However, Cain added at the end: "Miltank, I promise I'll help you find your group, but now that you're my Pokémon, you must follow my orders. If at any point you disobey and it affects our battles, I might not be as understanding."
Cain adopted a serious expression. Although he trusted his Pokémon, there were things he needed to say as a trainer.
"I know you probably don't like fighting; I can reduce the number of tis you have to battle, but you must not neglect the necessary training. My only requirent is that you strive to survive and take care of your teammates," Cain continued.
Miltank, seeing Cain, who had been smiling, suddenly turn serious, understood the importance of his words. After a brief mont of doubt, she nodded firmly.
"Mii~"
Miltank had talent and good potential. Although Cain considered her mainly as support, he needed to ensure she learned moves to protect herself.
"Co on, let's go have lunch, and I'll introduce you to your new teammates," Cain said, satisfied, patting Miltank's head.
Back in the room at the Pokémon Center, Cain released Murkrow and Gastly to et their new teammate.
Gastly was the most excited. As the last one to join the team, he had always been the youngest, and although he had two older brothers who took good care of him, he didn't want to remain the youngest.
Finally, with the arrival of a new companion, Gastly was thrilled, spinning around Miltank, showing his joy, which made the shy Miltank feel even more bashful.
As for Murkrow, as the team leader, he flew onto Miltank's back and patted her shoulder with his wings, indicating that she could co to him anyti.
Knowing that Miltank was the first girl on the team, they worked even harder, promising to protect her at all costs.
Miltank, encountering so many Pokémon wanting to approach her for the first ti, felt a bit embarrassed, but being clever, she invited them all to try her delicious milk.
Miltank's milk is extrely nutritious and tasty, always commanding a high price in stores.
In the blink of an eye, all the Pokémon who tried it were won over by Miltank. The milk not only tasted amazing but also revitalized their bodies, tired from the morning training, making them feel full of energy.
