Back in his room, Li Chen burst out laughing. As expected, stealing was the most fun and exciting thing to do, and taking things from his own home was the most satisfying.
No wonder his predecessor liked to secretly take things from his own Gym and sell them to earn pocket money; it was perfectly suitable.
Li Chen filled his Pokémon belt with the other three Ultra Balls, then put the remaining three Ultra Balls into his space backpack, as they weren't needed for now.
After doing all this, Li Chen put away his space backpack, kept the Dragon Fang on him, and then ran to the greenhouse garden in the Gym's backyard.
There was nothing he could do. Although Li Chen believed no one would trespass into the Gym, and even fewer would dare to steal from it,
this Dragon Fang was simply too precious, a priceless treasure; he had to keep it on him to feel at ease.
In the greenhouse garden, Li Chen avoided the Gym staff and found Salamence's mother and her child.
After making sure no one was around, Li Chen unwrapped the exquisitely packaged box of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes.
Upon opening it, he found there were only four boxes of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes inside.
This meant that these Energy Cubes would only be enough for his Salamence to eat for at most two months, or perhaps even less time.
But even if they only lasted two months, it was enough. After all, the system could instantly kill items every day, and perhaps more Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes could be instantly killed later.
Li Chen kept one box of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes and put the remaining three boxes back into his space backpack.
At this moment, Salamence's mother and her child seemed to have smelled the scent of the Energy Cubes and gathered around.
Li Chen's Salamence even rubbed its head against his body, looking as if it were charming Li Chen and asking for Energy Cubes.
"Salamence, don't rush, there's enough for everyone. These Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes were prepared for you all along."
Li Chen looked at Salamence's charming appearance and couldn't stop smiling.
Actually, Salamence had always eaten Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes, but items produced by the system were always top-quality, with an inherent sweet scent that was even more enticing to Dragon-type Pokémon.
Seeing the eager eyes of Salamence's mother and her child, Li Chen quickly opened the box of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes.
He took out two square Energy Cubes and offered them to Salamence's mother and her child respectively.
"Come on, Salamence, and Salamence's mother, quickly try how these Energy Cubes taste."
Li Chen happily said to Salamence's mother and her child, while staring intently at them, ready to see their reaction after eating the Energy Cubes.
At this moment, the scent of the Energy Cubes spread out. On the other side, Snorlax, who had been sound asleep, suddenly smelled the delicious food, sniffed, and then stood up with a carp jump.
Then, Snorlax, with its eyes squinted, followed the scent.
"Salamence~"
After Salamence's mother and her child ate the Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes Li Chen gave them, bright smiles appeared on their fierce faces, and they let out joyful Growls.
This was enough to prove that Salamence's mother and her child absolutely loved the Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes Li Chen gave them, highly favored by the two Pseudo-Legendaries.
This filled Li Chen with a sense of satisfaction and strengthened his resolve to instantly kill more items from the system.
However, just as Li Chen was immersed in satisfaction and joy, seeing that Salamence's mother and her child were not full and still wanted more, he was about to take out a few more Energy Cubes from the box.
"Snorlax~"
Suddenly, a low Growl like a clap of thunder echoed in Li Chen's ears, leaving him somewhat at a loss for a moment.
The ground was trembling slightly. When Li Chen turned his head to look behind him, he saw a dark blue figure standing not far behind him—it was Snorlax, which spent most of its time sleeping.
He just didn't know how Snorlax, who was originally sleeping, suddenly woke up and, without him noticing, came up behind him.
The next second, Snorlax, who stood like a mountain, nearly three meters tall, this agile big fatty, incredibly reached out to grab the box of Energy Cubes on the ground with lightning speed.
Li Chen, realizing belatedly, then understood Snorlax's intention: it was the scent of the Energy Cubes that caused Snorlax to wake up and set its sights on his Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes.
"Snorlax, stop! That's not food prepared for you. Eating it would be a pure waste, a squandering of resources."
Looking at Snorlax's massive body, Li Chen felt a chill down his spine, but since it concerned his Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes, Li Chen didn't care about anything else and shouted at Snorlax.
But at this moment, Snorlax only had food in its eyes; it paid no attention to Li Chen's words, ignored him, and continued to reach for the Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes on the ground.
Just as Li Chen's heart was in his throat, and Snorlax was about to succeed, at this critical moment,
Li Chen's Salamence made its move, ramming the unsuspecting Snorlax away, successfully interrupting its action and saving the box of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes.
Seeing Snorlax knocked away by Salamence, Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the opened box of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes into his space backpack to prevent Snorlax from snatching it.
It wasn't that Li Chen was unwilling to give those Energy Cubes to Snorlax; the main reason was that these were Dragon-type Energy Cubes, which would have no effect on a Normal-type Snorlax and would be a pure waste.
Moreover, with Snorlax's iron stomach, he feared that this box of Dragon-type High-Grade Energy Cubes wouldn't even be enough for Snorlax to eat.
Having its meal interrupted, and with the Energy Cubes taken away by Li Chen, the enraged Snorlax glared at Salamence, showing a subtle tendency to go berserk.
The atmosphere on the scene was extremely tense, filled with a sense of gunpowder, and the surrounding Pokémon all hid far away.
Salamence was also a battle-loving Pokémon, and at the same time, it possessed the arrogance of a Dragon-type Pokémon. Although there was a significant difference between the two sides, Salamence was not afraid of a fight.
Just as the two sides were about to fight, Salamence's mother stepped forward. Just by standing motionless between Snorlax and Salamence, she brought immense pressure and deterrent force, successfully resolving a conflict.
Looking at the protective Salamence, Snorlax gradually calmed down, then scratched its head, and as if nothing had happened, it directly ran off.
In fact, facing that Salamence, Snorlax was also very apprehensive, because Salamence was much stronger than it, and it had been beaten up by Salamence countless times before.
Seeing Snorlax driven away and returning to its original spot to sleep, Li Chen finally felt relieved.
After all, Snorlax was a Pseudo-Champion-level Pokémon with astonishing destructive power. If it were to lose control, let alone a Gym, even Yang City might be destroyed by it.
Of course, with the old man around, even if Snorlax went berserk, the situation could be quickly brought under control.
"Salamence, thank you."
Li Chen gently stroked Salamence's mother's thigh and thanked her.
Because he was the Trainer of her offspring, and because Salamence's mother had watched Li Chen grow up, she loved him like her own, and she was quite good to Li Chen, very close and friendly.
