However, the Gulpin didn't eat the food Angie prepared.

After waiting for a while, Angie saw that the Gulpin had no intention of coming forward to eat, and he sighed deeply.

After a long while, Angie said to the Gulpin: "The food is there, you can eat it anytime. After you finish eating, just rest well and don't worry about anything else. It's very safe here."

It remembered its trainer.

The Gulpin's trainer came from a very ordinary family, but his dream was to become a powerful trainer. So he found the Gulpin, who ate garbage, in a corner of the city and took it in as his first Pokémon.

The time it spent with the trainer was the happiest time the Gulpin had experienced since birth. It ate, slept, played, and trained with the trainer every day. It no longer had to hide in the garbage dump and be with dirty, smelly garbage.

In order to help it grow better, the trainer saved every penny and gave it the best food. He loved the Gulpin very much, and the Gulpin loved him the most.

Only later did the trainer realize that the Gulpin was a very gluttonous Pokémon, and if he wanted it to be a battle-ready Pokémon, he had to feed it a lot of food.

But how could the trainer afford to provide the Gulpin with a large amount of food?

That morning, the sunlight was very bright. The trainer prepared a hearty breakfast for the Gulpin. After the Gulpin finished eating, he took it to the forest.

The Gulpin thought that the trainer had brought it to the forest for special training. It was very happy, hopping and skipping along the way, picking a wildflower on the roadside, and sticking its tongue out at the Fletchling on the treetop...

It felt that as long as it was with the trainer, it would be happy no matter what it did.

Until they reached the depths of the forest, the trainer suddenly squatted down and quietly hugged the Gulpin, almost suffocating it.

"Gulpin, I'm sorry..." the trainer said in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

The Gulpin could feel wet drops falling on its body, but at the time, it didn't realize what was wrong.

The trainer suddenly released the Gulpin and turned and ran away.

"Gulp! Gulp!"

The Gulpin hopped and skipped after the trainer, but the trainer disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Gulp! Gulp!"

It stood blankly in the forest, calling out the trainer's name, and looking in the direction where the trainer had disappeared. It suddenly realized something.

It had been abandoned.

In fact, it knew the trainer's home and knew the way back, but it didn't choose to go back. Instead, it turned around dejectedly and walked deeper into the forest.

It didn't want to make its trainer feel embarrassed.

The Gulpin didn't know how long it had been walking. On the way, it was attacked for accidentally breaking into other Pokémon's territories. Finally, it staggered to Nibel Plateau and fainted in front of Angie's house in the night.

Because of its previous trainer's abandonment, it began to fear humans.

Returning to its wandering thoughts, the Gulpin wiped away its tears and continued to devour the steamed buns. Before long, it had eaten all the buns in the bowl.

After letting out a satisfied burp, the Gulpin looked in the direction of the second floor, and was slightly stunned for a while. Finally, it bounced towards the door and resolutely disappeared into the night.

This was not a place for it to stay. If it stayed, one day it would be abandoned like before. Probably no one would be willing to raise a glutton who couldn't do anything! The Gulpin thought.

When the Gulpin left, the Komala in the hut gently twitched its ears and silently turned over.

After leaving Angie's house, the Gulpin wandered aimlessly on Nibel Plateau in the night. It didn't know how long it had been walking when it came to a cliff and found a stone crevice where it could shelter from the wind and rain and hid inside.

In a daze, the Gulpin fell asleep, but it didn't sleep for too long. When it woke up again, it was still dark, and the silver moon hung high in the night sky.

It couldn't sleep peacefully in an unfamiliar environment.

However, when it opened its eyes, it saw a candle flame flickering in front of it.

"Misss! Misss!" Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before.

The Litwick curiously sized up the Gulpin. It knew almost all the Pokémon on Nibel Plateau.

The Gulpin was a little scared and shrank back without saying a word.

The Litwick had a relatively lively personality. It jumped onto the Gulpin's head, and the candle flame on its head flickered, illuminating the narrow stone crevice.

Being illuminated by the warm candlelight, the Gulpin actually felt a little at ease at this moment.

"Misss! Misss!" You're new here, right?

The Litwick asked again.

The Gulpin subconsciously nodded.

Looking at the Gulpin's pitiful appearance, the Litwick gently stroked its head.

"Misss! Misss!" You must be tired.

Hearing these words, the Gulpin felt another pang of sadness in its heart, and tears uncontrollably welled up in its eyes.

The Litwick didn't speak, but gently stroked the Gulpin's head, quietly accompanying it.

When the Gulpin had finished venting its emotions, the Litwick asked, "Misss! Misss!" You don't have a place to stay yet, do you? Would you like to come to my house?

The Litwick treated the Gulpin gently, just like everyone had treated it gently when it first came to Nibel Plateau.

Like the Gulpin, the Litwick was also a Pokémon abandoned by a human trainer.

Perhaps the Litwick's kindness infected the Gulpin, and the Gulpin gently nodded.

So the Gulpin followed behind the Litwick, stepping into the night and arriving at the entrance of a cave, which was where the Litwick lived.

"Misss! Misss!" Let's go inside.

The Litwick encouraged the Gulpin.

The Gulpin nodded and followed the Litwick into the cave.

The cave was very spacious and had been cleaned very neatly. Hay and leaves were spread on the ground for the Pokémon to sleep on.

Not only the Litwick lived here, but also a Litleo, a Pancham, a Skitty, a Scraggy, a Stunky, a Spritzee, a Zigzagoon, a Helioptile, and a Dedenne.

These Pokémon had all been hurt by humans to varying degrees.

The arrival of the Litwick and the Gulpin woke up these Pokémon, and they all sized up the Gulpin with curious eyes.

The Gulpin felt scared and subconsciously hid behind the Litwick.

Litwick gave it an encouraging look and then introduced Gulpin to everyone, announcing that Gulpin would be the new member of their family from now on.

None of the Pokémon objected; they enthusiastically gathered around Gulpin, expressing their welcome, as they had all been brought back by Litwick one by one.

Infected by everyone's enthusiasm, Gulpin gradually let go of its apprehension and unease.

At this moment, Litwick reminded everyone, "Moo hee ~ Moo hee ~" It's getting late, everyone should go to sleep quickly. Don't we have to go gather food early tomorrow morning?

Their stored food had already been eaten, and if they didn't go out to find more, they would have to go hungry tomorrow.

Several Pokémon responded and huddled around Gulpin to go to sleep together.

Surrounded by everyone, feeling the warmth transmitted from the other Pokémon, Gulpin fell into a deep sleep, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on its face.

How wonderful, it had a home again.

Looking at the sleeping companions, a gratified smile appeared on Litwick's face, and then it turned and walked towards the outside of the cave.

It was a nocturnal Pokémon, more energetic at night than during the day.

Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Litwick jumped onto a rock and looked up at the sky. The silver moon hung in the sky like a disc, gently casting moonlight on the Nibel Plateau.

It firmly believed that as long as they were together with their companions, their days would get better and better.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the earth, the Pokémon in the cave got up to work, and Gulpin was no exception.

Litwick said to Pancham, "Moo hee ~ Moo hee ~" Pancham, Gulpin is new here and not familiar with the place, can you take care of it?

"Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~ ~"

Pancham, with a bamboo leaf in its mouth, patted its chest with a confident look, indicating that there was no problem.

After everyone left one after another, Pancham also said to Gulpin, "Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~ ~" Let's go too.

Gulpin nodded, quietly and obediently following behind Pancham.

"Ya cha cha ~" Pancham walked ahead with a majestic air, telling Gulpin that it knew where to find a lot of food and would definitely not let Gulpin return empty-handed.

Under Pancham's guidance, Gulpin arrived at the edge of a pond, where many long, strip-shaped aquatic plants grew.

Seeing those aquatic plants, Pancham immediately cheered, pulled a stalk of aquatic plant out of the water, and then plucked off the tender white part of the root and put it aside.

"Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~" What are you doing standing there? Come here!

Pancham beckoned to Gulpin.

Gulpin quickly hopped over, and imitating Pancham, pulled the aquatic plants out of the water one by one, and then plucked off the roots.

"Kooling ~ Kooling ~" Can this really be eaten?

Gulpin asked while collecting.

"Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~ ~" Of course it can be eaten, it's delicious, try it if you don't believe me.

As it spoke, Pancham handed a root of aquatic plant to Gulpin's mouth.

Gulpin obediently opened its mouth and swallowed the root of the aquatic plant into its stomach.

It was indeed delicious, but it was far worse than the food it had eaten last night.

Thinking of the food last night, Gulpin swallowed subconsciously. It was the second most delicious food it had ever eaten in its life. The most delicious food was what it had eaten with its former trainer for the first time, a taste it would never forget.

"Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~" How is it? Delicious, right?

Pancham's voice interrupted Gulpin's thoughts.

"Kooling ~ Kooling ~ ~"

Gulpin nodded vigorously.

It was already very satisfied to be able to eat aquatic plant roots now. As for last night's delicacy and the former trainer... it was like a dream, unreal.

Pancham was very satisfied with Gulpin's reaction, its little expression extremely smug.

After collecting for a while, Pancham suddenly stopped Gulpin.

"Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~" Let's go back.

Gulpin asked in confusion, "Kooling ~" Aren't we going to collect anymore? There's still a lot.

Pancham admonished it in the tone of a senior, "Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~" Of course we can't collect too much at once, or there won't be any to collect next time, right?

"Kooling ~"

Gulpin suddenly understood, and immediately looked at Pancham with a face full of admiration, which fully satisfied Pancham's vanity.

The two found two very large leaves, put the collected aquatic plant roots in them, wrapped them up, and then walked back with their full harvest.

On the way back, Gulpin suddenly saw a beautiful flower field in the distance, and it subconsciously stopped.

"Ya cha ~ ~" What's wrong?

Pancham asked in confusion.

"Kooling ~ ~ Kooling ~ ~" Can I pick some flowers?

Gulpin asked with a face full of anticipation.

Pancham nodded, "Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~" Of course, go quickly, I'll wait for you!

"Kooling ~ ~"

Gulpin happily nodded, put its aquatic plant roots on the ground, and then ran to the flower field, returning with a bunch of colorful flowers in a short while.

Looking at the large bouquet of flowers, Pancham asked in confusion, "Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~ ~" What are you picking this for? You can't eat it or drink it.

Gulpin said shyly, "Kooling ~" I have a use for it.

Seeing this, Pancham didn't ask any further questions, hugged its aquatic plant roots, and happily returned home with Gulpin.

Not long after the two Pokémon arrived home, the other Pokémon also returned one after another. Some brought back a few tree fruits, some brought back a few plant roots, and some only brought back a few leaves...

In comparison, Gulpin and Pancham's harvest was already very rich, so Gulpin was praised by everyone. Gulpin felt very embarrassed, as it was all Pancham's credit.

Seeing that Gulpin was shy, Pancham winked at it.

At this time, Litwick announced, "Moo hee ~" Let's eat breakfast soon.

The Pokémon cheered immediately upon hearing this, and then began to distribute the food.

However, Gulpin quickly noticed something was wrong, because everyone piled most of the food in front of it, while they themselves only had a small portion in front of them.

"Kooling ~ ~" Everyone...

Litwick said with a smile, "Moo hee ~ Moo hee ~ ~" You just joined us, today's breakfast is considered a welcoming ceremony for you, eat your fill!

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and said that each of them had this treatment when they first joined.

"Ya cha ~ Ya cha ~ ~ ~" We're not hungry now, so we don't need to eat that much.

Pancham patted its round belly and said.

"Kooling ~" Gulpin couldn't help but shed tears when it heard this. It ate this hard-won breakfast little by little, its heart feeling sour and full.
