The Dream-Inducing Baku

Because Miss Officer Jenny was out of town investigating, only one new officer remained at the police station, so Wei Xin spent a lot of effort to finally unfreeze his account before the bank closed.

On the way back, Wei Xin overheard people talking about the Dream Eater. Apparently, someone had discovered the Dream Eater outside the city, and some were even planning to form a group to capture it.

As a hypnotic Pokémon, Hypnos has the ability to hypnotize others using superpowers, and coupled with its unique appearance, it has become a frequent subject of online short stories.

Some even suspect that during battles, the one directing the battle is actually the trainer, or the trainer being manipulated by the Baku.

"I feel like Hypnos is such a lewd Pokémon." Hearing the other students' comments about Hypnos and their fantasies about obtaining one, Marie felt a chill run down her spine.

Hypnosis, manipulation, and...

"That's a misunderstanding," Wei Xin retorted. "When the Dream Eater was still a hypnotic tapir, it fed on the dreams of others. Its evolution was also for the purpose of obtaining food more effectively."

Even though the Dream Eater did attack passersby and forcibly hypnotize others, it was only after investigation that it was discovered that its purpose was due to extreme hunger.

He was just a simple man, without any worldly desires.

In reality, the vast majority of Pokémon will not attack passersby without reason, unless they feel threatened.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the Pokémon Malamar that appeared in Pokémon XY once tried to use hypnosis to control humans and then take control of the entire world.

"As for the things Mary is thinking about, they wouldn't normally happen," Wei Xin said. "Moreover, in some medical institutions, the Dream Eater is an expert in treating insomnia."

Pokémon are like children, even more innocent than children in some ways. In most cases, they will not act on their own without the trainer's command.

"I wasn't thinking anything strange," Mary said, raising her hand and gently tapping Wei Xin's shoulder. "Besides, if the Dream Eater falls into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

As a psychic Pokémon, Hypnos possesses extremely high intelligence, coupled with its expertise in hypnosis, making it a perfect accomplice to committing crimes.

"It's alright, trust Miss Officer Jenny," Wei Xin said.

Moreover, there is currently a ghost-themed king in Shanghai. Although he is a bit of a joker, Wei Xin believes that Wanlong's character is trustworthy.

Birds of a feather flock together; after all, he's Gadria's friend, and Gadria is Cynthia's best friend.

Late night

Officer Jenny, carrying a searchlight, arrived in the forest outside the city. A Growlithe lay on the ground in front of her, its black nose twitching slightly as it searched for scents in the grass.

There was a rustling sound in the woods, along with the buzzing of the wind and the faint sound of whistling.

The sentry rat stood to one side, arms crossed, its eyes and stripes gleaming faintly in the dark forest, meticulously guarding its surroundings.

After a while, Officer Jenny took the walkie-talkie hanging around her neck, connected, and said, "Has anyone spotted any trace of the Dream Eater?"

"Report, I didn't find it here."

"Report, me too."

"Reporting to the boss, cough cough cough, I just found a Poké Ball. Based on the markings on it, I suspect it might be a lost Poké Ball from a Pokémon hunter, but the Pokémon inside is gone. Would you like to come and take a look?"

"A Pokémon Hunter's Poké Ball?" Officer Jenny recalled the woman who had recently infiltrated the research center, surrendered without any resistance after being discovered.

Adding to the fact that the Dream Eaters, who only operate at night and appear in the forests outside the city, were present, a bad feeling lingered in Miss Officer Jenny's mind.

"Put the Poké Ball away first, we'll talk about it when we get back. Everyone stay alert, don't leave your Pokémon unattended, and report any problems immediately."

After confirming that everyone had received the order, Officer Jenny hung up the walkie-talkie and said, "Arcanine, let's investigate somewhere else."

But what greeted Ms. Officer Jenny was not the energetic barking of Arcanine, but only the desolate silence of the empty forest, and the Sentry Rat lying stiffly behind her.

"Oh no!" Miss Officer Jenny sensed something was wrong. She reached for the walkie-talkie on her chest and heard a strange whistling sound coming from it, like the evening breeze blowing through a ringed metal plate.

Before long, the forest on the outskirts of Shanghai fell silent once again.

Kasahi

After breakfast, Wei Xin brought Ralts to the playground early. Since it was the first battle practice class, the other students were not late either. While waiting on the playground, they chatted with their partners.

Two students even started a match before the teacher arrived, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

"Lime, use Tackle!" a student said, pointing at the opponent's Caterpie.

Unfortunately, the Firefly didn't listen to him. It sat on the ground, raised its paw, stuck out its tongue, and casually licked its paw.

"Dude, why is your Litsea cat so disobedient?"

"I don't understand, it was perfectly fine before." The student was completely bewildered. He had given the Firefly the best care, but the little guy was becoming more and more disobedient.

Seeing that there were no matches to watch, everyone dispersed. After all, although they were classmates on the surface, they were also rivals in the freshman competition behind the scenes, and no one wanted to reveal their strength so early.

Even if I'm a complete noob.

Seeing that Litten was disobedient, the student had no choice but to take out a Poké Ball and try to recall Litten. Unexpectedly, Litten leaped away and dodged the red light shooting out of the Poké Ball.

He glanced disdainfully at his trainer, turned his head, raised his chin, and strode away.

Until he saw Wei Xin standing to the side, away from the crowd, practicing Wing Chun with Ralts with one hand while browsing the news on his phone.

"Sigh, the Dream Eater has actually been subdued?"

In the morning news, the police announced that the Dream Eater had been captured by Officer Jenny, and residents could leave the city without worry.

"At least it's safer in Officer Jenny's hands than in the hands of bad guys."

The premise is that Officer Jenny actually subdued the Dream Eater, not that the Dream Eater subdued Officer Jenny.

Wei Xin put down his phone, looked up, and his eyes met those of a fire-spotted cat. The fire-spotted cat's eyes lit up immediately.

"Meow!"

With her mouth agape, she ran and jumped, finally leaping into Wei Xin's arms.

Wow, he's handsome!

What's it to you!

Using its telepathic abilities, Ralts sensed Litten approaching. It twisted its waist, turned around, raised its hand, and delivered a powerful punch to Litten's abdomen, sending Litten flying. Then, it raised its fist at Litten and taunted it twice in the air.

She can tolerate Eevee being close to her trainer because little Eevee will eventually become a trainer's Pokémon and will eventually come into the family.

But you're a Pokémon with a trainer, so you can't touch my trainer.

So, Litten, who had been punched by Ralts, got up, its fur standing on end, and glared angrily at Ralts, assuming a fighting stance.
