66: Section 66
Zhang Yu did not directly state his purpose, but instead brought up another matter first.
Of course, he had no intention of deceiving the Wooloo; he spoke only the truth.
Although this grassland is vast, it clearly has a limit to its capacity.
Previously, it was fine for Pokémon like Mareep, Wooloo, and Miltank to live here, but with the second batch of Pokémon beginning to appear on Blue Star, it started to feel a bit crowded.
Perhaps that's why Pokémon began appearing in human cities?
"Mareep?"
'I have naturally noticed this, but where else can they go once they leave the pack?'
'We Wooloo are not powerful Pokémon; it is very difficult for us to live alone after leaving the pack.'
Wooloo heard this and, after a brief silence, responded.
"Regarding this issue, I do have an idea."
"I think you should know, right? We humans have a profession called Trainer."
"Trainers can not only provide a good living environment for Pokémon but also help them grow faster, especially for those Pokémon that are still relatively weak."
"I wonder if you would allow other humans to capture your kin?"
"Of course, if you are worried, you can personally inspect those people."
"Moreover, we humans will also send people to supervise."
Upon seeing Wooloo take the bait, Zhang Yu immediately stated his purpose.
As for why he chose Wooloo?
Of course, it was because this kind of Pokémon has a gentle nature, and after evolving, it also has good potential; although it cannot compare to the starter Pokémon, it is not far off.
Of course, he also had no intention of letting go of the Mareep nearby.
"Mareep~"
'I can agree to your request, but I must personally inspect all those who come.'
'And to take other Wooloo from here, you must gain their approval.'
'Oh, and we don't really like living in the city; we prefer more spacious places, so those who want to capture my kin must have a large home. If there's an open space, that would be even better.'
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Wooloo pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly with a hint of hesitation, responding.
If it could, it naturally wouldn't want to be separated from its kin.
However, the situation Zhang Yu mentioned earlier was an undeniable fact.
So, after a fierce internal struggle, it still made this decision.
At the same time, it also put forward its demands.
"I originally thought that Anchor approaching this group of Wooloo was just to pet them, but I didn't expect that Anchor was actually thinking of us!"
"Yes, if these Wooloo can agree, then we will be able to go there and capture Pokémon in the future!"
"That's right, other places are hard to say, but at least safety is somewhat guaranteed. Otherwise, I'm really afraid of encountering something like a Beedrill."
"I can only say that Anchor is truly amazing; when there's something to be done, he really goes for it!"
"Sir, this move is significant!"
"It seems Anchor has already succeeded?"
"Indeed, although I don't know what Wooloo said, or how Anchor heard what it said, judging from its reaction, it seems to have agreed."
"That's fantastic! I've decided, I'm heading to Rong City now!"
"As a local of Rong City, I'm already driving towards Anchor's location!"
"Damn! Are you all that fast?"
"Isn't that obvious? Although those Wooloo look like a lot, if you really count them, there aren't many. If you go too late, you might miss out!"
"Indeed, as long as you can leave a good impression in their hearts, even if you don't succeed immediately, at least half of it is done. The rest is just a matter of time."
"Under safe circumstances, as long as there is enough patience, I feel that I can capture a Pokémon sooner or later."
At first, the Shui Yous were a bit confused about what Zhang Yu was doing.
But when they heard what Zhang Yu said later, they immediately realized what Zhang Yu was trying to do!
He wanted to make it easier for them to capture Pokémon!
Upon realizing this, the Water Friends immediately let out a cheer.
However, it seemed a bit too early for them to be happy now?
"Aren't you celebrating a bit too early?"
"Although Wooloo has agreed to my proposal, it also has conditions."
"First, it will personally select the people who come, and also, only when you truly gain the Wooloo's approval can you take them away."
"And more importantly, due to their living habits, Wooloo do not like city life; they prefer places like the countryside or ranches, where there are large plots of land where they can play freely."
"Of course, if you live in a villa with a large garden, that should also be fine."
Just like that, Zhang Yu immediately poured a bucket of cold water on them.
The first two requirements were fine, but the third one was not so easy to meet.
Most people probably wouldn't be able to satisfy this requirement.
"Now that things are settled, to show my sincerity, I'll give you these energy cubes."
After pouring a bucket of cold water on the Water Friends in the live broadcast room, Zhang Yu took out a large number of energy cubes, preparing to distribute them to the surrounding Wooloo.
After the Miltank incident yesterday, Zhang Yu had specifically made more energy cubes of various types, and now they came in handy.
"Mareep~"
Upon smelling the fragrance of the energy cubes, the surrounding Wooloo immediately gathered, surrounding Zhang Yu and the others.
However, after the Wooloo's leader let out a Growl, those Wooloo immediately became orderly.
And the most direct manifestation of this was that they actually started queuing up!
"No way? The requirements are actually that strict?"
"These requirements are indeed a bit too strict. Unless you're rich, there's no way to meet the Wooloo's needs, right?"
"Sigh, I liked Wooloo so much, but because of that third condition, I'm destined to have no connection with them."
"This can't be helped; their living habits are like this. You must have seen how Wooloo Rollout on the ground. Do you think they can move around if the house is small?"
"That's true."
"I just bought a villa with a large garden a while ago; it seems to meet the requirements perfectly?"
"Hiss~ A rich person!"
"Rural people say those requirements are not a problem at all, okay? Not only do we have large yards at home, but also plenty of land for them to run wild."
"Although I'm not a rural person, my grandpa is, and he still has a lot of land in his hometown."
"That's right! It doesn't have to be rich people; rural people can do it too!"
"To be precise, as long as you live in the countryside, it's fine. It's too easy to get a piece of land in the countryside."
"Damn! I thought I just had to take the first step, but I didn't expect there to be restrictions? Doesn't that mean I ran for nothing?"

"Haha! Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel a lot better."
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Aren't there other Pokémon on that grassland? For example, Mareep. Even if the conditions for Wooloo are strict, there are still other Pokémon."
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?"
The Water Friends, who were originally very happy, became disheartened after hearing Zhang Yu's later words.
The other conditions were fine, but the third one was just too difficult for them.
However, people's joys and sorrows are not interconnected. While they were disappointed, another group of people who met the requirements became even happier.
After all, the stricter the conditions, the fewer competitors they would have, which meant a greater chance of gaining the Wooloo's approval.
"Alright, now that the Wooloo situation is settled, I should go check on the Mareep."
"Things should be simpler over there, after all, I already established good relations with them yesterday."
After distributing all the energy cubes in his hand and petting the Wooloo, Zhang Yu walked towards the Mareep.
If Zhang Yu was a little nervous before, he was now full of confidence.
After all, just as he said, he had already met and established good relations with the Mareep yesterday. Logically speaking, they should be easier to talk to.
"Toot!"
According to common sense, this was indeed the case.
But when Zhang Yu approached and explained his intention, he was rejected by the Mareep leader.
