Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

"Old Three, what's the situation?"

Father Su asked irritably.

"It was like this. In the evening, we finished counting the last batch of newly recycled waste, and then we heard some movement in the corner where the scrap steel was piled. When we went over, we found that more steel was missing."

"Did the little Rada drag it away?"

"Not likely. No signs of dragging, or of being gnawed by a Rattata."

As he spoke, Uncle San led the two of them to where the steel was piled up. The recycled scrap steel was piled together. These were all steels that could be directly sent back into the furnace for recasting.

Father Su looked around and his drunkenness had dissipated a lot.

"There are no signs of dragging on the ground. It wasn't done by Rada. There are no signs of anyone coming in either. It's probably not man-made."

"That's right. Besides, we're the only scrap recycling station in our town. Even if someone wants to steal scrap steel from us and resell it, they'll have to go to another town, which is not worth it."

"It looks like it could only be done by other wild Pokémon, but there shouldn't be that many wild Pokémon around town."

As he spoke, Father Su took out a red and white Poké Ball from his pocket.

"Come out, Blackie."

"Ouch~!"

A flash of light passed by, and a black puppy appeared in front of Su's father.

"This is, Dalubi?"

Su Yuan was a little surprised when he saw the puppy with white bone armor on its back. He didn't expect that his father actually had a Daluby.

"Daluby, I think that's his name, but I still like to call him Blackie. I saw him when I was looking for Meow Meow to catch mice in the breeding house in town. I thought he was a good fit, so I spent some money to bring him back."

As Father Su spoke, he squatted down and touched Dai Lubi's head. Dai Lubi barked happily twice.

"Okay, Xiao Hei, go check and see if any elves have been to the scrapyard."

"Ow."

After receiving instructions from Su's father, Dalubi began to search.

"By the way, Xiaoyuan, you don't have any Pokémon yet? I heard that you all have your own breeding houses in college, right?"

Su Yuan shook his head.

"Son, if you see a Pokémon you like, don't miss it. Now that our family is better off, if you are short of money, tell your dad. We can still afford to raise Pokémon. Tell your family if you have any needs. Dad will support you."

As he spoke, Father Su suddenly laughed and took out a card from his pocket.

"Besides, I'm already old. I'm also what you young people call a trainer. Don't do worse than me in college."

Su Yuan was stunned when he saw the card in his father's hand.

"Trainer ID card, no, how did you do that, dad?"

"We were told that there were mice at home. We originally wanted to ask a trainer with Meowth to come over, but then the problem with Rattata kept coming back. It was too much trouble to always ask for help, so I asked someone to get me a trainer status and raise two Meowths myself. Oh, and I also got this."

As he spoke, Father Su took out a leaf-shaped badge from his pocket.

"This is! A gym badge?"

"Haha, I went to the county town to do some work that day, and I saw the county gym doing promotions, so I went to give it a try. I didn't expect that Xiao Hei was quite powerful, so I beat him up."

Su Yuan rubbed his brows. The gym in Guiye City is a grass-type gym. Dalupy with Fire and Evil is indeed easy to beat. Moreover, the gym leader will only choose the Pokémon to fight based on the strength of the challenger, so there is no problem for Su's father to win.

But Su Yuan always felt that something was strange. Why did he feel that his father was a little too trendy?

"Ouch, ouch."

Not far away, Dalubi roared, as if he had discovered something.

"Xiao Hei has discovered something. Let's go take a look."

The three of them walked towards Dalubi with flashlights in hand. Soon they came to the edge of the scrapyard and saw a big hole in the iron fence in the corner of the wall. There were traces of something entering and exiting on the ground.

Uncle San looked at the marks on the ground and said in a deep voice.

"It looks like the thief came in from here."

"It's really amazing. What kind of Pokémon can actually make such a big hole in the iron fence?"

Looking at the dog-hole-sized hole, Su Yuan's mind became active. After all, in his impression, there were too many Pokémon that could do this.

"But it looks like that guy has already left. I think we should seal the hole first, and then have someone do a comprehensive inspection tomorrow to see if there are other holes like this in other places."

"Xiao Yuan is right. Come and lend a hand, big brother."

Father Su and Uncle Three blocked the entrance of the cave with a pile of scrap iron, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no accidents.

"Fortunately, it was discovered early and the loss was not too great."

"Let's stay inside the factory tonight, to prevent any thieves from coming in at night."

There are houses in the scrapyard, but the factory is right in the town, and since we couldn't figure out who would take the scraps, we rarely lived there.

In the room, Su Yuan was playing with the dog enthusiastically. This is a living Pokémon, who wouldn't want to touch it?

Moreover, Su's father's Dai Lubi was extremely obedient and completely allowed Su Yuan to control him.

"This little guy looks fierce, but I didn't expect him to have a good temper."

Su Yuan held Dalubi's dog head in both hands and rubbed it.

Dalubi was so anxious that he kept howling, but he didn't dare to bite anyone. He was so angry that he almost died.

Just when Su Yuan was contentedly petting the dog and preparing to go to sleep, there was noise outside again.

There was a loud bang, as if something was knocked down.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Dalubi immediately broke free from Su Yuan's clutches and shouted towards the door.

"Something's coming in!"

Father Su put on a pair of protective gear and picked up a flashlight.

"Really? Can't you let me sleep?"

The man and the dog headed straight towards the direction where the noise came from.

"Wait a minute, Dad. I'll go too."

Su Yuan quickly put on his coat and followed.

When we arrived at the broken fence, we found that the iron block used to block the gap in the evening had been knocked open by some Pokémon, and there were traces of dragging on the ground.

"Brother, over here."

Uncle San's voice came from the side.

"Xiao Hei, let's go."

“Ahhh~!”

Dalubi seemed to have discovered something and rushed straight to a corner.

After a while, a dark shadow jumped out.

"Don't let him get away, Hei-chan use Spark!"

"Ouch~!"

Dalubi opened his mouth and spit out a ball of fire that instantly illuminated the darkness. At this time, Su Yuan also used the light of the fire to finally see what the black shadow was.

A gray-white Pokémon with armor that has a metallic luster, small round holes on the armor, and a small pointed protrusion on its back.

"That's Cocodora."

The little Kokodora was chased away by Dalubi, running around in the scrap heap, and even knocked open the sturdy iron frame.

"Good boy, you're really stubborn. Then, Meow Meow, come along too!"

Father Su threw another Poké Ball, and a white Meowth was released.

"Meow meow don't let him get away, use provoke!"

"Meow~!"

Meowth growled at Kokodora, and a strange energy wave was released.

Kokodora, who had been running away in panic just now, stopped, turned back and stared at Meow Meow with wide eyes.

"Coco~!"

"Now, Hei, use Bite!"

"Ow~!"

The evil energy gathered in Dalubi's mouth, and Dalubi pounced directly towards Kokodora.

Upon seeing this, Kokodora immediately curled up into a ball, with a layer of light floating on the surface of its body.

Dalubi just sneered and attacked Kokodora.

"Ouch~!"

Dalubi suddenly whined and took a step back. It was obvious that the bite had hurt his teeth.

"This thing is so hard, are you okay, Xiao Hei?"

"Ouch~!"

Dalubi responded and said that he was fine.

"Well, let's teach this guy a lesson."

"Wait a minute, Dad."

"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan?"

Father Su was a little puzzled. What did Su Yuan want to do when he was about to catch the little guy? However, the little guy was surrounded by his two Pokémon and couldn't run away even if he wanted to.

Su Yuan said as he looked at Kokodora who was crawling on the ground and looking at the two of them warily.

"Can you let me communicate with this little guy? This little guy may just be a little hungry."

"hungry?"

Father Su looked at Su Yuan in confusion.

Su Yuan did not explain any further, but picked up a piece of scrap steel bar and handed it to Kokodora.

"Little guy, calm down. I mean no harm to you. This is for you to eat."

Kokodora looked at Su Yuan. It sniffed the steel bars in front of it but did not eat them.

"Don't worry, I really mean no harm. I know you must be hungry, so you barged in. It's just a little steel, eat it if you want."

After seeing that Su Yuan really seemed to have no ill intentions, Kokodora couldn't help but pick up the steel bar and start chewing on it.

Father Su was stunned when he saw this scene.

"It, it actually eats steel bars. There are Pokémon that feed on steel."

The reason why there were rats in the scrapyard before was because the little Rattata needed something to grind their teeth, but he never thought that there would be a Pokémon that feeds on steel.

Su Yuan looked at Cocodora and introduced.

"This Pokémon is called Kokodora. It usually lives in the mountains and feeds on iron ore. However, when they are hungry or food is scarce, they will enter human settlements to look for food. Sometimes they will even gnaw on railroad tracks and bridges in the wild."

"It's amazing, Xiao Yuan, you actually know all this."

"Haha, nothing, I learned that at school."

Looking at Kokodora, Su Yuan pondered for a moment.

"Dad, do you have any empty Poké Balls?"

Father Su took out a few ordinary balls from his pocket.

"Yes, there were still a few left when we caught the Rattata. Do you want to tame it?"

Su Yuan took the Poké Ball and nodded.

"I like it better than Rattata and Geodude. But of course it has to be willing to do so."

After saying that, he held the ball in front of Kokodora. Kokodora looked at Su Yuan warily, but was no longer as resistant as before.
