Dak decided to place the Zangoose and Seviper tribes outside the Alliance City.

One tribe on the west side, the other on the east side.

Dak planned to set up a forest around the outskirts of the Alliance City as a natural protective barrier, while the south would be developed into suburbs with small villages as the southern border of the city.

Acting swiftly, Dak led the Zangoose and Seviper tribes to the far west and east sides of the Alliance City.

Both tribes thrive in forest environments, where they can hunt and camouflage themselves using the terrain.

Dak used the remaining 160,000 PokéCoins from his system to create two 80,000 square meter forests on the west and east sides. These forests included lakes connected to the northern inland sea.

The forests would eventually grow beyond this initial size as people planted more trees and expanded them.

For now, the current scale was sufficient for the Zangoose and Seviper tribes to claim their territories and return to their natural behaviors.

The trees included many common Pokémon world fruit trees, providing food for the Pokémon living there.

Dak also planned to introduce small animals like pheasants, rabbits, field mice, squirrels, snakes, frogs, and insects to create a balanced ecosystem and food source for the carnivorous Pokémon.

Both the Zangoose and Seviper tribes were satisfied with their new habitats and entered the forests after expressing their gratitude to Dak.

They would undoubtedly engage in internal conflicts to establish territories, as that's their nature. In the future, some may cross the Alliance City to stir trouble in the other forest, but that would be at least a month away.

Even if conflicts arose, Dak wouldn't intervene, as having natural enemies keeps them vigilant and prevents uncontrolled population growth.

After resolving the Zangoose and Seviper tribe placements, Dak turned his attention to the other two tribes.

The Lapras tribe was easy to accommodate. The sea around the Alliance base was their natural home, safe and quiet, and they would undoubtedly love it.

Dak would arrange for people to capture various marine creatures and introduce them into the lake.

This lake, like the one at the main Breeding House, had special properties allowing marine life to thrive.

The One Piece world was abundant with marine creatures of countless species, so there was no shortage.

Dak even considered contacting Fish-Man Island to help gather aquatic plants and deep-sea fish for the Lapras tribe.

For now, the Alliance would provide food, which wouldn't be too costly with the abundance of street vendors in Water 7.

Braviary's tribe was a bit more complicated. They typically lived on mountain peaks or in snowy regions, neither of which were currently available. They had to temporarily settle in Alliance City.

Fortunately, Braviary and Rufflet were not picky about their environment and enjoyed lively atmospheres.

Alliance City was currently the only bustling place on Pokémon Island, making it a perfect temporary home for them.

With the four Pokémon tribes temporarily settled, Dak returned to the Breeding House to meet his new partner.

He wasn't worried about the Pokémon tribes attacking the residents of Alliance City.

These Pokémon came from a world where humans and Pokémon coexisted peacefully. As long as humans didn't provoke them or invade their territories, they wouldn't attack.

Back in the Breeding House, Dak was excited.

A max-level Lapras!

"Dak, there were some noises coming from your room earlier. It sounded like something was calling."

"Yes, that's my new partner!"

Dak responded excitedly and rushed to his bedroom.

Opening the door, he was greeted by a huge cutie!

While a typical Lapras stands around 2.5 meters tall, young or female Lapras may be shorter. However, this Lapras was a towering 5 meters tall!

A Pokémon's size is influenced by age, gender, and strength.

For instance, Sceptile's age made it average-sized for its species, but it was 0.4 meters taller due to its strength.

This Lapras was twice the size of its kin, indicating not only immense power but also significant age.

Lapras are also naturally heavy. At the moment, Dak's bed was crushed under its weight, and the bedding was soaked due to Lapras' Hydration ability, which kept its body moist, secreting pure water.

"Hello, Lapras!"

Dak quickly approached and hugged Lapras' long neck.

Lapras are incredibly gentle Pokémon, so Dak felt safe embracing it upon their first meeting.

This was unlike the previous three Pokémon, known for their fearsome reputations.

Giratina and Darkrai, with their titles as the Renegade Pokémon and Pitch-Black Pokémon, respectively, were intimidating.

Sceptile wasn't feared but was known for being proud and aloof, rarely showing kindness to the weak.

"Laaa"

Lapras gently called, tapping its large feet and swishing its tail.

To Dak, Lapras' actions were adorable, and he hugged its neck tighter.

Cool and soft.

Lapras smiled gently, sensing Dak's affection, and reciprocated.

Lapras naturally liked others, similar to a golden retriever that loves humans.

However, unlike golden retrievers that may be aggressive towards other dogs, Lapras remained gentle even towards other Pokémon.

"Let's go get you checked up."

Dak eagerly led Lapras to the manufacturing room for a check-up.

Despite its size, Lapras weighed around 500 kg. For people in the One Piece world, this weight was manageable. Dak, no longer a weakling, could easily lift Lapras with some help from his psychic abilities.

Lapras was surprised that Dak could lift it but quickly became happy.

A strong trainer was a good thing.

In the manufacturing room, Lapras greeted Monet, Gardevoir, and Porygon-Z.

Monet was used to Dak bringing in powerful Pokémon and was just happy to see another strong member join the Pokémon Alliance.

Based on her observations, Dak only brought exceptionally strong Pokémon for check-ups.

Lapras was undoubtedly one of them.

[Lapras]

[Type: Water, Ice]

[Ability: Hydration]

[Potential: Purple]

[Height: 5.0 m]

[Weight: 500 kg]

[Age: 650]

[Level: Lv. 90]

[Moves: Hydro Pump, Perish Song, Sheer Cold, Blizzard, Ice Beam, Hyper Beam...]

Lapras was indeed old, almost three times Sceptile's age.

Congratulations to Sceptile for gaining an elder.

However, Lapras' potential was slightly lower than Sceptile's, so despite being younger, Sceptile had the same level due to its superior potential and training.

Lapras and Sceptile were comparable in strength within the Pokémon world, lacking the special abilities of legendary Pokémon but with matching levels.

This meant that Lapras should be on par with the top fighters in this world, scoring a perfect 100 out of 100.

Lapras would likely excel in this world, especially with its aquatic environment.

Sceptile might have more opportunities to shine in a different world, like the Naruto world.

"Let's take you to Pokémon Island for a while."

Dak was thrilled.

He could now ride Lapras across the sea!

With Giratina in the sky and Lapras in the sea, Dak almost didn't need to walk.

"You'll stay at the Water 7 branch from now on. The city has many canals and friendly people, making it perfect for you."

Dak had decided.

Lapras would guard the Water 7 branch.

Lapras loved peaceful environments, and Water 7 was perfect, especially with the Pokémon Alliance presence.

Sceptile would be stationed at Sabaody Archipelago.

That chaotic place, full of troublemakers, would provide Sceptile with plenty of challenges and excitement.

Sceptile was bored in Water 7, with few opportunities for action.

Everyone knew.

A major figure in Sabaody Archipelago could go toe-to-toe with Sceptile, being even stronger than Mihawk and also a swordsman.

Dak would inform Sceptile of this person's location.
