Chapter 964: Old Long-haired Dog

The next day, in front of the Pokémon Center on Melemele Island.

"Aww~ (I said that yesterday, but it still happened today~)"

"LotoLoto. (That's right, Loto. After all this talk, you still treat the other Pokémon as your own.)"

"Give me some more attention, all of you!

And the hurricane! It was obviously the long-haired dog you picked up, so you are the least qualified to say such things.

Besides, is there anything wrong with caring for the wounded? "

Looking at the guys who were making sarcastic remarks nearby, Lin Jing also felt extremely angry.

These guys are so irritating.

I swear to God, he really doesn't have the slightest...well...possibly the slightest interest in that long-haired dog.

But after all, the other party is most likely the long-haired dog that he guessed was taking care of the flamingo, and the other party is also old.

So even though he was very interested in this new furry creature, he still wanted the creature to spend his old age in peace.

But this idea depends on whether the other party is willing.

Especially if it succeeds in the end...

Looking at the little guys next to him with a look of "as expected" on their faces, Lin Jing also felt a headache.

These guys...

Forget it, let’s go in and take a look first.

Shaking his head, Lin Jing walked straight into the Pokémon Center.

......

outside the ward

"You came at the perfect time. The long-haired dog just got up and had a little meal.

If it knew that the person who saved it yesterday came to see it, it would be very happy. "

As she spoke, Miss Joy took Lin Jing to open the door of the ward.

“And just like its appearance, the shaggy dog ​​is a very gentle Pokémon.

For example, when I first came to Melemele Island, I would see it bringing injured wild Pokémon to heal every once in a while."

As the door opened, Lin Jing saw the big guy that he couldn't take a good look at yesterday.

Compared to yesterday's mess and injuries, the long-haired dog has now been simply trimmed and cleaned.

The dark blue hair on the back is covered by the hair growing from the head, probably the beard, making it look more like two colors.

The hair exposed on the abdomen looks a little light gray.

I don’t know if it’s because he is born like this or because he is too old as Miss Joy said, but Lin Jing can’t even see the other person’s eyes under the cover of hair.

At the same time Lin Jing walked in, the long-haired dog lying on the bed seemed to notice something and raised its head slightly.

Its thick hair fluttered gently as it moved. The only black nose exposed between the long hair and the beard twitched slightly, as if confirming the scent of the person coming.

The next moment, the long and thick beard and hair under the nose also moved.

Although it was not very clear because of the obstruction of hair, it seemed that the long-haired dog was smiling at Lin Jing.

"It seems that although it was not fully conscious yesterday, it still remembered the smell of the person who saved it.

Then have a good talk with it."

Looking at the long-haired dog, Miss Joy tilted her head slightly and showed a sweet smile, and closed the door before Lin Jing could react.

Wait! Arcanine, Flower Therapy, and the rest of you, you said you were curious so you came to take a look, why haven’t you all come in?

Lin Jing was confused when he saw the Pokémon smiling strangely behind Miss Joy.

I don’t know if it was because I guessed what he was thinking or because I saw his expression just now, but Lin Jing vaguely felt a familiar wave coming from behind the door.

[I'll leave you some private space. Remember to persuade others well, so that you will have someone who can help you bear the burden in the future.

Of course, even if you do this, you can’t stop training. 】

Feeling the meaning coming from the waveguide, Lin Jing felt his fist harden.

This Riolu guy... No, looking at the situation, they should have discussed this beforehand. Who do these guys think they are?

Looking at the blue door panel in front of him, Lin Jing gritted his teeth.

But the next moment, he was brought back to his senses by the voice behind him.

"Woo?"

The long-haired dog looked at Lin Jing's strange movements and felt a little strange.

“Ahem, um…how are you, long-haired dog?

Yesterday, my Windy Dog was out playing and accidentally found you, so I brought you to the Pokémon Center."

Looking at the confused (probably?) long-haired dog, Lin Jing didn't know what to say for a moment, so she simply talked about how she met it yesterday.

"Wang Woo!"

The shaggy dog ​​nodded to show that he understood.

The voice sounds much deeper than that of Windy Dog, and one can even hear a hint of oldness in it, just like its appearance.

"Anyway, I'm relieved to see that you're okay today.

By the way, I put you into the Poké Ball in order to bring you here.

But don't worry, I've heard from Miss Joy that you are a wild Pokémon that has been living in Haole City, right?

I will unlock the Poké Ball as soon as you get better.

Of course you can leave on your own.”

Looking at the long-haired dog, Lin Jing started talking to herself, not knowing what to talk about.

There was no way. None of those damn guys stayed. How could he know what the other Pokémon were saying?

Now I'm talking nonsense like a fool.

"...Ouch."

After a slight silence, the long-haired dog nodded.

It really doesn't want a trainer, otherwise it would have found a follower very early on.

Rather than traveling around with the so-called trainer to become stronger, what it wants more is to live in this very familiar place until it grows old, just as usual.

So Lin Jing's words really hit the spot in its heart.

"But... that bridge hole is your home, right? It shouldn't be a problem to live there forever, right?"

The long-haired dog's heart sank when he heard Lin Jing say this, but due to the cover of hair, its expression could not be seen, and Lin Jing continued to talk to himself.

“Speaking of which, I do have a house here, but because I travel so often, I don’t live there very often.

If there's no one around, Pokémon like Rattata might come and cause trouble, or even be used as a nest by ghost-type Pokémon.

So if I could..."

Hearing this, the long-haired dog's heart sank. Did he still want to subdue him?

It sounds like it's still around here, but if it's captured, what can it do at its age?

"Would you like to be hired by me to look after the house while I'm away?

Of course, as a reward you can live in the house, and I will ask the neighbors to bring food to you every day, and someone will come to clean it every month.

That neighbor is also a Pokémon enthusiast, so if you encounter any problems, you can ask him for help."

Hey?

When the long-haired dog heard Lin Jing's next words, he was stunned.

It's not like some people who despise their old age, nor is it that they are curious and want to conquer others.

But...let me help look after the house?

Although it is true that it has some confidence in this regard, but...

“By the way, I heard from Miss Joy that you also help some weak Pokémon, so it’s okay if you take them home.

Just don’t destroy the house.”

Looking at the long-haired dog, Lin Jing didn't know what it was thinking, but he still added something.

The long-haired dog also pondered for a long time under Lin Jing's gaze, but did not react at all...

(Continue to add more. Hmm... I feel that everyone who has read this should really like Pokémon. You should all know the origin of this long-haired dog, right?

But I’ll explain this later.)
