"!!!"

Dak, who had just returned to the Pokémon Breeding House with three Pokémon from Mariejois, widened his eyes in surprise upon hearing the system notification!

This was an incredible surprise.

The last time he had received such a notification was when he recruited his first male employee, Bon Clay, and his first female employee, Robin, which had rewarded him with 1000 PokéCoins.

First of all, a max-level Lapras, which was extremely exciting.

Lapras, a Water/Ice-type Pokémon, is a gentle and peaceful Pokémon with a beautiful voice, known for singing with its companions on the sea. In the original translation, it is also known as the Transport Pokémon.

However, due to its gentle nature, it is often hunted by illegal poachers or attacked by Sharpedo, leading to a drastic decrease in its population.

In the Pokémon world, Lapras is considered a rare Pokémon.

Obtaining a max-level Lapras would typically cost tens of thousands of PokéCoins in the Pokémon Mall.

Such a high-level Lapras would either be very old or have exceptionally high potential.

A max-level Lapras was equivalent to Dak being given tens of thousands of PokéCoins for free.

Especially since the Pokémon Breeding House planned to open another branch in Sabaody Archipelago, it needed a powerful Pokémon to oversee it.

Originally, Dak planned to save enough PokéCoins to buy a max-level Pokémon or a high-level one. Now, it seemed he could save that money.

Additionally, this max-level Lapras came with a large group of 50 Lapras.

Fifty Pokémon might not sound like much, but it depends on the species.

For a rare Pokémon like Lapras, a group of 50 is likely the largest Lapras population in the Pokémon world.

Next, there's a mix of excitement and concern with Zangoose and Seviper.

Some Pokémon in the Pokémon world naturally dislike each other due to ancient bloodline feuds. Zangoose and Seviper are such Pokémon.

In the Sinnoh chapters, these two species frequently fought.

If only one species had arrived, Dak would have been thrilled because both are strong fighters.

But having both together...

He couldn't imagine what would happen in the Pokémon Alliance city.

Dak had already decided they needed to be separated!

Additionally, Dak found something peculiar.

Zangoose is typically a social species, often traveling in small groups to maximize their combat effectiveness, similar to Weavile.

But usually, their groups are small due to frequent internal conflicts over food and status.

Seviper, on the other hand, is solitary, treacherous, and untrusting of even their own kind.

Typically, Seviper hunts alone and each has its own tactics to counter two Zangoose.

Now, both anomalies were present in these species.

Dak felt something strange and needed to investigate.

Lastly, the arrival of Braviary and Rufflet was excellent.

Their characteristics are evident from their names.

Braviary, known as the "Valiant Pokémon" in ancient times, is courageous, proud, and fearless, valuing their companions highly, willing to sacrifice their lives for them.

Due to their fearless nature, they never back down from a fight and carry scars proudly, earning respect within their group.

Such Pokémon are very righteous and are often seen as companions of heroic figures in the Pokémon world.

This was why Dak was so pleased.

Braviary naturally appeals to trainers, inspiring more people on Pokémon Island to become trainers.

"This is like being given hundreds of thousands of PokéCoins for free."

Dak's smile nearly reached his ears.

There had always been plans to introduce various Pokémon species to Pokémon Island, but due to prioritizing the development of Alliance City, this plan was repeatedly postponed.

This reward advanced Dak's plans significantly.

Even though the variety of species still seemed limited, it was sufficient for the current state of Pokémon Island.

How many people live on Pokémon Island now?

Or rather, how many people live in Alliance City, which currently has a population of 5000?

Among them, there are already about 2000 Pokémon.

The addition of these wild Pokémon now constitutes a significant proportion.

It will also help the residents of Alliance City adapt to the concept of "wild Pokémon," potentially forming friendships and partnerships with these wild Pokémon.

"However, I need to quickly resolve the issue between Zangoose and Seviper before things escalate."

Dak was a bit worried.

The sudden appearance of Zangoose and Seviper might lead to a fight, and if they accidentally hurt the nearby Braviary, it might drag them into the conflict as well.

As for Lapras, that's highly unlikely. They are naturally gentle.

Upon returning to the Pokémon Breeding House, Sceptile promptly returned to guard the branch in Water 7.

Darkrai glanced at Dak, wanting to remind him that his dark space still held a group of people.

But seeing how anxious Dak was, he refrained from speaking and silently merged into Dak's shadow.

When Dak arrived at Pokémon Island, he found that the situation hadn't escalated as badly as he had feared.

But it was close.

On the thousand-meter arch bridge in front of the Alliance base, the Pokémon groups had appeared.

The Zangoose group and the Seviper group stood on opposite sides of the bridge.

If the terrain wasn't so unsuitable, with the fear of falling into the water, they would have already started fighting.

Even the mere presence of the other group was seen as arrogance.

In their eyes, even the other species' breathing was an affront.

The peace-loving Lapras group called out softly from the lake on both sides of the bridge, acting as peacemakers, trying to calm both groups.

Braviary, along with Rufflet, perched on the railings, observing with a "none of our business" attitude.

Meanwhile, more people and Pokémon were gathering on land to watch, with some even starting to take sides and place bets.

Cat lovers supported Zangoose, snake lovers supported Seviper, and most people were just there for the spectacle.

'Damn Sevipers, I'll personally deal with you...'

'Damn Zangoose, I'll personally deal with you...'

Just as the Zangoose and Seviper were about to clash, Dak arrived.

He descended from the sky, landing between the two groups, and raised his hands to stop them.

"Woo~"

The Lapras greeted Dak with respectful and affectionate cries.

With the system's assistance, Dak had already formed a basic bond with their leader, giving him a certain status within the Lapras group.

The other three groups had also roughly understood the situation upon arriving at Pokémon Island, so they greeted Dak.

They didn't have to obey Dak completely, but basic respect was necessary.

"What's going on here?"

Dak wasn't asking why the two groups were fighting, but about their strange social structure.

This was beyond normal behavior.

Pokémon generally wouldn't break their species habits unless absolutely necessary.

The leaders of the Zangoose and Seviper groups exchanged glances, each explaining their perspective. With Darkrai and his psychic abilities, Dak quickly understood the situation.

These two groups were long-time enemies.

Both originated from the slopes of Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh region.

Initially, they were normal Zangoose and Seviper scattered across the slopes.

Usually, each Zangoose and Seviper had their own rivals, rarely interfering with each other's battles.

But due to an accident, the Zangoose leader saved a young Zangoose from a Seviper, gradually expanding his team beyond his control.

The Seviper leader, seeing his old rival growing stronger, couldn't tolerate it.

Other Sevipers, who initially didn't want to group together, realized they had no choice when faced with large groups of Zangoose.

These two species seemed bound by some fate, even arriving on Pokémon Island together.

"You will live separately."

Dak didn't have any immediate solution, deciding to use the geography of Alliance City to keep the two species apart.
