—------------------—
Catlin felt that she had seen the world today.
Although there are legendary Pokémon trainers in this world, for example, Brandon from the Hoenn region is said to have tamed the legendary giant Regirock.
For example, the former champion of the Galar region, Mustard, was the most famous legendary trainer of the previous era. He and his partner, Urshifu, created an 18-year undefeated record that has not been broken to this day.
These two are the most famous trainers in the world who have captured legendary Pokémon. As for the others, Catlin had never heard of them before.
But she was about to meet the third one today.
Although...
"The 49th one."
Catlin silently watched Mammon throw the high-level ball. This was the 49th time.
That's right, the 48 high-level balls in front were all broken free by Tapu Fini.
Catlin knew that it was not easy to capture legendary Pokémon, but she never expected that the Poké Ball stage would be so difficult.
Although it is not surprising that some unruly wild Pokémon will break free a few times.
But it was only three or four times at most, and Tapu Fini had done it almost fifty times! This was too outrageous.
Mammon was not too surprised. Legendary Pokémon have excellent willpower and stronger subconscious resistance.
The high-level ball flew along a perfect parabola and hit Tapu Fini. Tapu Fini turned into a red light and was absorbed by the high-level ball.
Ding~Ding~
The high-level ball fell to the ground and shook slowly twice.
Can it succeed?
Catlin looked at this high-level ball nervously, as it was just one step away from making the final move.
Ding~
The high-level ball shook for the third time, and the red light on the indicator was still flashing.
Ding~!
With the last crisp ding sound, the high-level ball froze.
Success!
Catlin couldn't help but smile. She was happy for Mammon. She finally succeeded in subduing him.
"Good, Tapu Fini, conquered."
Mammon walked forward slowly, picked up the high-level ball, played with it for a while, and was quite satisfied.
"Hehehe~"
Shiny Gengar floated over, circled around Mammon and clapped his hands, feeling happy that he had gained a new companion.
"Congratulations, Mammon." Catlin also came over.
"Thank you. Come out then, Tapu Fini." Mammon opened this high-level ball.
White light fell to the ground, and Tapu Fini sat in the shell, looking distraught and frustrated, staring blankly at the ground.
I was actually conquered by a human being. Ah...
"Don't look so lost, Tapu Fini, it won't be bad if you follow me."
Mammon comforted Tapu Fini.
"fi?" Tapu Fini glanced at Mammon and asked hopefully.
"Let you go? Impossible, don't even think about it, I absolutely won't do that." Mammon refused without hesitation.
It took a lot of effort to subdue Tapu Fini, but now I want to let it go? I'm overthinking.
"fi! fifi!!"
Tapu Fini was a little excited. Protecting Poni Island has always been its responsibility.
"Finfin, what era is it now? Why are you still so pure?" Mammon tilted his head when he heard the voice.
He has the power of Changpan, so he can clearly understand what Tapu Fini wants to express.
"?"
Tapu Fini stared at Mammon. He felt that Mammon was scolding him!
"No one can live without anyone else. Whether it's you or Poni Island, are you indispensable to each other? Do you have to be tied together?"
Mammon asked Tapu Fini.
"..."Tapu Fini was stunned.
"That's not true. Could it be that Poni Island can't survive without you? You have to give Poni Island a chance. Maybe they can live better without you."
Mammon is patient and persuasive.
"fi...fi..."
Tapu Fini was silent for a while, but still chirped twice unwillingly.
"Don't worry, Finfin, you're not without a future." Mammon gave a gentle smile.
"Even though you lost Poni Island, you still have me! You can totally treat me as your 'Poni Island'."
Mammon spoke with confidence and his voice was very upright.
Catlin was stunned when she heard this and looked at Mammon with strange eyes.
Why did Tapu Fini 'lose' Poni Island, and you didn't say a word about it?
Tapu Fini stared at Mammon with eyes wide open in shock. Is this human speaking human language?
Who taught you to talk like that?
"No matter what, you are my Pokémon now. Let's work together well from now on. I will lead you to the top."
Mammon smiled and spoke to Tapu Fini. He felt that he was already very sincere.
"fifi..."
Tapu Fini responded helplessly. Even if it didn't agree, there was nothing it could do. This human would never let it go.
Tapu Fini is very sad. Why should I be so charming?
Damn it!!
The natural beauty sometimes makes Tapu Fini feel distressed, because it is so likable.
"Not bad, not bad." Mammon was very satisfied.
"Then from today on, we are companions. Please give me your guidance, Tapu Fini."
"fifi~"
Tapu Fini was listless. Its current condition was already average, and it was forcibly "kidnapped". It would be strange if it could be energetic.
"Come back and rest first, I'll take you to treatment later."
Mammon took Kapu.Fin back into the Poké Ball.
"It seems that Tapu Fini is not very willing."
Catlin frowned slightly, a little worried that she would encounter the same situation when she captured Tapu Lele in the future.
"After all, you have always been the guardian of the island. It is normal for you to be a little confused when you are suddenly conquered." Mammon replied as a matter of course.
"In this case, it's up to us trainers to slowly influence them."
"What if they still don't cooperate?"
Catlin asked doubtfully. Although she had never encountered it herself, she had heard of it.
Some Pokémon are wild and difficult to tame, or have proud personalities. Even after being captured, they will not listen to their trainers, and some will even give up in battle.
"Then we have to use a special method to make them cooperate." Mammon said calmly.
Catlin was curious.
"Take my Tapu Fini as an example."
Mammon and Catlin walked side by side on the beach, leaving parallel footprints in the sand.
"Catlin, what do you think Tapu Fini cares about?"
Catlin thought about it.
"Is it Poni Island?"
"That's right. For Tapu, what they care about most is the island they protect. After all, they are the Pokémon of the land god."
Mammon smiled and nodded. According to the classification of the Pokémon Dictionary, all four Tapu were land god Pokémon, without exception.
"Then it's very simple. If Tapu Fini is still unwilling to cooperate with me, I just need to say this."
Mammon's mouth slowly curled up into a grin, revealing a strong sense of malice.
"Tapu Fini, you don't want Poni Island to sink, do you?"
Tapu Fini: (°︵°)
Catlin suddenly realized that she understood.
