Chapter 8: Taming the Bobo Tribe!

“Pip!”

Hearing Pip’s words and seeing him place the fish he held in his mouth onto the ground as a gesture for Zhang Feng to take it, Zhang Feng couldn’t help but smile.

“Pip, have you been waiting here for me all this time?”

“Pip~”

Seeing Pip nod, Zhang Feng accepted the fish, took out the small knife from his backpack, and swiftly gutted the fish before placing it inside, planning to eat it at noon. Then he turned to Pip.

“Pip, now that your tribe has lost its habitat, is there anywhere else you can go?”

As Zhang Feng spoke, Pip lowered his head, clearly feeling dejected and hopeless about the future after realizing his tribe had been defeated.

Witnessing this, Zhang Feng suddenly had an idea.

“Pip, if you’re willing, why not become my Pokémon? I’ll take you away from Orange Blossom Forest. We can challenge gyms together and compete in the league tournaments. How does that sound?”

Upon hearing this, Pip suddenly became excited, clearly tempted.

Pip held great affection for Zhang Feng, his savior.

The thought of embarking on adventures with his rescuer delighted him greatly.

But in the next moment, he seemed to think of his tribe and became hesitant again.

Seeing Pip’s inner conflict, Zhang Feng continued.

“Pip, if your tribe hasn’t found a suitable habitat yet, I have a good place. Would you like to see it?”

Upon hearing this, Pip’s expression turned curious, as if asking where in Orange Blossom Forest there could still be a foothold for his tribe.

In response, Zhang Feng smiled.

“Come, I’ll take you to my system space. It’s vast, almost untouched by Pokémon, and there are no natural enemies of your tribe. You can breed and thrive there, and it will also bring vitality to my system space!”

“Besides, your entire tribe suffered heavy losses this time. You can slowly regain your strength there.”

With Pip’s consent, Zhang Feng, along with Grovyle and Pip, entered the system space.

When Pip saw the vast, boundless paradise filled with various fruit trees standing proudly on the land, he grew excited.

However, when he noticed the Sky Guardian Latios sleeping in the sky, Pip’s fur bristled all over.

This was a natural reaction to danger, especially since Latios’s divine beast aura was unrestrained, giving any ordinary Pokémon the feeling of facing a wild, formidable boss.

The divine beast’s pressure made Pip feel as if he were confronting a great enemy.

“Pip!”

Hearing Pip’s urgent voice, Zhang Feng immediately reassured him.

“Don’t worry, Pip. Latios is also my Pokémon. He lives here as the guardian of this space, so there’s no need to fear any harm!”

“So, how about it? If you think this place is good, you can find your tribe and persuade them to live here until they find a more suitable habitat.”

“This space is huge. Even if your tribe grows hundreds of times larger, it will still be more than enough!”

Listening to Zhang Feng, Pip noticed that Latios truly showed no hostility. Grovyle was also encouraging him. After some thought, Pip finally made his decision.

He planned to persuade his tribe’s leader. If they agreed, the entire tribe would come to Zhang Feng’s system space. If not, Pip was willing to follow Zhang Feng and become his Pokémon, traveling together.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng was delighted.

In fact, ever since acquiring this system space, Zhang Feng had intended to fill it with vitality.

He wanted to create a unique Pokémon world, relocate his favorite Pokémon tribes here, and let them breed and flourish—a deeply satisfying accomplishment.

It seemed that the identity of a rancher could be realized within the system space.

Moreover, Latios itself was the world’s guardian god, adept at pacifying disputes among divine beasts. So here, even if the number of Pokémon tribes living in this system space increased, Latios would serve as the balancer.

The ecology and balance of this system space would be maintained.

Of course, with a territory exceeding eight million square kilometers, to cause an ecological collapse here, one would need to have an unimaginable number of Pokémon.

Zhang Feng guessed that even if he captured hundreds of Pokémon daily, he might never witness an ecological imbalance in his lifetime.

After bringing Pip and Grovyle out of the system space, Pip began searching for his tribe, asking Zhang Feng and Grovyle to wait for him here.

Almost an hour later, a shadow appeared in the sky.

If not Pip leading them, then who else?

Seeing Zhang Feng, Pip cried out in delight and urged his companions to descend.

Among this tribe of Pip, many were the Pokémon Zhang Feng had saved the previous day. Upon seeing Zhang Feng, these Pips and Starly greeted him warmly.

So, after hearing that Zhang Feng had a place for them to live, they were persuaded by Pip to come and take a look.

If the new habitat was unsuitable, then the Pip tribe would have no choice but to leave Orange Blossom Forest and search for a new home farther away.

When the leading Starly approached Zhang Feng, Zhang Feng spoke.

“I will open a spatial portal for you. Through it, you can reach the paradise that belongs to you!”

Upon hearing this, a portal to the system space appeared at Zhang Feng’s command.

After Zhang Feng, Grovyle, and Pip stepped inside, the Starly hesitated briefly before leading the way.

Seeing their leader take the initiative, the other Pips and Starly followed one after another.

They beheld a truly undeveloped paradise—a place filled with countless fruit trees and diverse environments.

For Pokémon, this place had no natural enemies, abundant food, and vast space. It was truly a paradise for their tribe.

Amidst the excitement of the Starly and Pips searching for suitable habitats, a small incident occurred: when Latios awoke and greeted Zhang Feng, the Pip tribe almost thought they were doomed.

But upon realizing that such a powerful divine beast was also Zhang Feng’s Pokémon, they finally relaxed.

Pip voluntarily became Zhang Feng’s third Pokémon and entered Zhang Feng’s luxurious Poké Ball.

“Ding dong, Pip’s affection increased. Current affection: 160 points!”

Having captured Pip and resolved his tribe’s habitat troubles, Zhang Feng’s bond with Pip surpassed that of Grovyle, reaching 160 points.

As for the Pip tribe living inside Zhang Feng’s system space, there were a total of 515 Pokémon.

Among them, 500 were Pips and 15 were Starly.

After evaluating their potential, Zhang Feng found that only one Starly had blue potential; the rest were white and green.

Only the Pip Zhang Feng captured had blue potential.

This meant that among the entire Pip and Starly tribe, the Pip Zhang Feng caught truly had the greatest potential.
