Chapter 24 The True Face of the Hotel Ghost (As Smart as I Am)

Chapter 24 The True Face of the Hotel Ghost (As Smart as I Am)

In the early morning, listening to the sound of the waves, Heimer woke up from a heavy dream again. For some reason, the last few dreams made Heimer feel very tired.

Heimer touched his head and looked around, and found that Xiao Shun was gone. It seemed that he had left for the Kaina Conference.

Chi Haimo: "The game is obviously held in the afternoon, but he went there so early. It seems that he might be quite nervous."

After Heimer went to the bathroom to wash up and change his clothes, he went to the hotel restaurant with Bardalie to have breakfast.

Because yesterday, Heimer and the chef had already explained that they would need the help of Butterfree to deal with the stingtail worm incident, so this time when he goes to the restaurant, he can bring Butterfree with him.

Generally speaking, Pokémon are not allowed into restaurants. The reason for this rule is that there have been cases where customers brought extremely large Pokémon to dine, which led to a series of tragic collision incidents.

So, from that day on, the chef announced such a rule.

At this moment, Heimer was drinking the soup in the bowl while staring at the door of the kitchen.

Just as Heimer finished the last spoonful of soup in the bowl, the target appeared.

The stingtail worm appeared in the kitchen with his agile skills, stole a lot of food again, and flexibly manipulated the silk thread to escape from the pursuit of the kitchen staff. However, this time he did not expect the variable of Heimer.

Just as the stingtail was about to run out of the door, Heimer immediately gave instructions to Butterfree.

Chi Haimo: "Ba Dadie, use telekinesis to catch him!"

Butterfree flew into the air, instantly gathering a strong mental force to catch the stinging worm. I thought the matter would end like this, but who knew that the mental force on the stinging worm was suddenly offset by a similar force, and the stinging worm escaped again.

Heimer and Butterfly hurriedly chased after it, but when they went out, they did not see the figure of the stingtail insect, and the trace of the silk thread broke after a few steps in the corridor.

(It seems that this is similar to what I guessed yesterday.)

Seeing that the target was lost, Heimer was very calm. He and Bardalie came to a forest not far from the beach, looking for the place marked yesterday.

Before, Heimer had suspected that the stingtail worm had an accomplice, and this accomplice should be able to use telekinesis or mental interference.

However, after yesterday's and today's investigations, Heimer discovered that the traces of the silk threads disappeared after a few steps out of the door, and if the stingtail insects did not rely on silk threads to move, their speed could not be so fast, so this accomplice should be able to teleport.

Because of this conjecture, Heimer once specifically asked Butterfree to go to the nearby forest to look for traces of stingtails. Butterfree is a bug Pokémon, so perhaps Butterfree could understand where stingtails choose to live.

At that time, Butterfree found a total of five suspicious places, and Heimer marked them all with little red flowers.

Now, they are checking the five suspicious places found yesterday one by one.

(I checked the hotel with Butterfree yesterday. There is no suitable hiding place or place suitable for insect-type Pokémon to live there. However, if that accomplice can teleport, then perhaps this forest not far from the hotel may have the answer I want.)

Finally, in a tree hole, Heimer found a lot of food that the stinging worm had stolen from the kitchen. At this moment, Heimer felt the malicious eyes coming from the tree.

Heimer looked up and saw that it was the stingray. Besides that, there was another Pokémon with eyes full of wisdom and the color of grass. It was the bird Pokémon, the Natural Sparrow.

(Although I don’t understand why insects and birds would work together, but judging from all the signs, the natural sparrow should be an accomplice of the stingray.)

Chi Haimo: "Bardalie, let's make a quick decision and track down the sleeping powder!"

After hearing Heimer's instructions, Butterfree flapped its wings, and the green powder, combined with its telekinesis, rushed towards the Thornytails and the others at an extremely fast speed.

And the moment the sleeping powder touched the natural sparrow, somehow it bounced back!

As a result, Butterfree was hit by its own sleeping powder and fell asleep!

Chi Haimo: "Ba Dadie!"

Seeing this, the Thornytail immediately used its silk spinning skill on Butterfree. When Heimer saw this, he immediately took out the Poké Ball and took Butterfree back.

(Was that a special move? No, that's not right. The natural bird clearly didn't make any moves. That was the magic mirror feature!)

The characteristic of the magic mirror is that it will rebound all the changing moves to the opponent. This unexpected scene gave Heimer an instant headache.

(No wonder so many trainers failed to catch them before. With teleportation and magic mirror, they are natural escape masters. What should we do...)

Just as Heimer was thinking, the spiny-tailed worm climbed onto the natural bird, as if it was going to use instant teleportation to escape again.

When Heimer saw this, he didn't bother to think and directly threw the Gyarados' Poké Ball.

A flash of white light appeared, and the huge figure, with its astonishing dominance, made all the trees in the forest tremble.

Chi Haimo: "Gyarados, use Dragon's Fury!"

The power of the dragon type gathered in an instant, and purple energy waves quickly spewed out from Gyarados' mouth, but just when it was about to hit Thornytail and the others, Tenshin made a new move.

I saw Tianran Que calmly standing in front of the Thornytail, and the green barrier was directly deployed, completely blocking Gyarados' attack.

Chi Haimo: "That's it, hold on!"

Afterwards, Tenranque used his mental power to lift up Gyarados and threw it towards Hammer. Fortunately, Hammer reacted quickly and when Gyarados was about to hit him, he directly put Gyarados back into the ball.

(Mind interference? It turned out to be such a powerful psychic skill. No wonder Butterfree's telekinesis was offset. So, this natural bird should have evolved a long time ago. Is it because it can better avoid being hunted down every time it escapes into the forest with the stingtail insects to steal things?)

Just when Heimer decided to throw all the remaining Pokémon Balls, suddenly, the natural bird made a move again and used mental interference directly on Heimer!

He gathered his powerful mental strength and lifted Heimer up instantly. Faced with all this suddenness, Heimer spoke to Tianranque calmly.

Chi Haimo: "Is this really okay?"

Natural tit: "Raj?"

Chi Haimo: "Even if you throw me out, there will always be other people coming, right? You will never have a stable life."

Tianranque fell into deep thought after hearing what Heimer said.

Chi Haimo: "How about this, play a doubles match with my best friends. If you win, then I will forgive you for what happened in the future, and I will help you convince the restaurant owner. But if you lose, you have to admit your mistake with me."

After hearing this, Tianran Que discussed it with the stingray and agreed to Heimer's proposal.

Then they found a large open space to serve as the battle site.

Chi Haimo: "Well, I'm going to start!"

The natural sparrow remained expressionless as always, while the spinytail worm swayed its body, as if telling Heimer that they were ready.

Chi Haimo: "Well, I'm counting on you, Forest Lizard, Poison Rose!"

With a flash of white light, the forest lizard and poison rose appeared in front of everyone in a domineering manner.

Chi Haimo: "Forest Lizard, use the Seed Machine Gun on both of them!"

After hearing Heimer's instructions, the forest lizard directly used the seed machine gun on the stingtail worms and natural finches. The emerald green seeds shot towards the stingtail worms at high speed in a strange curve.

Suddenly, Tianran Que's mental interference was activated again, as if time had stopped. All the seeds stopped in the air, and then were bounced back by Tianran Que's powerful mental power.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, super absorption!"

Poison Rose waved the rose in her hand fiercely, and the violent green energy wave swept all the seed machine guns that were bounced back by the mental interference and attacked the natural bird and the thorntail insect.

The two, the stingtail worm and the natural sparrow, were hit madly by the seeds in this green vortex.

Chi Haimo: "That's enough, Poison Rose, stop!"

After the Poison Rose stopped moving, the green energy waves dissipated instantly, and the stingtail insect fell from the air to the ground and lost its combat ability, while the natural bird landed safely and smoothly because it kept flapping its wings.

Chi Haimo: "How about it, do you still want to fight?"

Tianranque didn't seem to be planning to give up. Because of the injury of the stingtail worm, he seemed to be much angrier than before. Although his face was still expressionless, Heimer sensitively noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Tianran Que once again gathered his powerful mental strength, used mental interference to catch the forest lizard and poison rose and lifted them up.

Chi Haimo: "It's worthy of this system's bonus, such a strong mental interference."

Just as the forest lizard and poison rose were about to be thrown to the ground, Heimer shouted.

Chi Haimo: "Poison rose, paralysis powder, forest lizard, seed machine gun."

Although unable to move, the black rose and purple rose of the Poison Rose still sprayed out a large amount of paralyzing powder.

After the orange powder quickly completely covered the figures of the forest lizards, the forest lizards immediately used seed machine guns on the natural birds.

Because of the protection of the paralyzing powder, Tianran Que did not catch all the targets in the first time. A seed hit Tianran Que's eyes. He covered his eyes with his wings and turned around in pain. The mental interference also lost its effect at this time.

After the forest lizard and poison rose landed, they all showed very angry expressions.

(We've been together for so long that our personalities have become more and more alike. Well, that's what best friends are.)

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, use Magic Leaf, Forest Lizard use Seed Machine Gun!"

The glowing green leaves accompanied by emerald green seeds shot towards the natural bird at an extremely fast speed. I thought the winner would be decided at this time, but the natural bird suddenly opened its eyes and used mental interference to control the magic leaves and seed machine gun again, and after a while it directly bounced the seed machine gun back.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, super absorption!"

Poison Rose used the powerful Super Absorption again, but this time it failed to block the seed machine gun that was bounced back by the mental interference.

And just like that, the two of them were directly hit by the seed machine gun. With the help of mental interference, the power of the seed machine gun increased many times, and the forest lizard lost its combat capability.

Because the poison rose is very durable, it still stands stubbornly on the field.

Chi Haimo: "Come back, forest lizard."

After Heimer took back the forest lizard, he calmly analyzed the current situation.

(It is obvious that the power of the mental interference just now is very strong. How to break it? Well, that is it!)

Although the situation seemed to be that Heimer and his team were at a disadvantage, Heimer keenly discovered that Tianran Que did not bounce back the magic leaf, but continued to control the magic leaf with mental interference.

(By the way, Magic Leaf is a must-hit skill. In most cases, it will not stop before hitting the opponent. And the mental interference of that Tianran Que is obviously not as strong as Lin Luo's Gardevoir's mental interference, so he just paused the Magic Leaf in the air. Well, in this case, if Tianran Que releases the control of mental interference at this moment, then those Magic Leafs will shoot directly at him.)

Thinking of this, Heimer gave a very evil smile.

Chi Haimo: "I see, poison rose, more and more magic leaves."

After hearing this, Poison Rose's ferocious eyes appeared again. He was seen spinning and jumping happily, and shooting out a lot of magic leaves with his eyes closed.

The magic leaves all over the sky, under the control of Tianran Que's mental interference, stopped in the air as if time had stopped.

Although all the magic leaves were controlled by Tianran Que through mental interference, it was obvious that it was very difficult for Tianran Que to maintain mental interference control over such a large number of targets.

When the magic leaves controlled by mental interference around Tianran Que became so dense that they could not be denser, Heimer knew that the time had come.

Chi Haimo: "I'll ask you one last time, are you really not going to admit defeat?"

Tianranque heard what Heimer said. Although he remained expressionless, a strong belief could be felt in his eyes.

Tianranque continued to gather his mental strength, trying to increase the power of mental interference and repel all the magic leaves.

Seeing that Tianranque didn't want to admit defeat, Heimer said to Duqiangwei.

Chi Haimo: "Poison Rose, super absorption!"

Poison Rose raised the rose, and violent green energy waves covered the entire battlefield again. Under the influence of super absorption, Tianran Que could no longer hold on, so he lifted the control of mental interference, and at the moment of lifting, all the magic leaves hit Tianran Que, and Tianran Que lost its combat ability.

After the battle, Heimer did not hand over Tenranque and the others to the hotel immediately, but took them to the Pokémon Center first.

As expected, the injuries sustained in this battle were severe and required prompt medical attention.

Under Miss Joy's treatment, the natural finches and spinytails recovered.

After Heimer entered their ward, Tianranque put aside his previous hostility. He jumped off the bed and bowed to Heimer, as if to thank Heimer for his timely treatment.

The stingray also bent its body, as if bowing to thank Heimer.

Seeing this, Heimer touched the natural sparrow and the spiny-tailed insect, then spoke gently.

Chi Haimo: "I'm willing to admit defeat. You have to admit your mistakes later."

Back at the restaurant, Thornytail and Natural Sparrow apologized to everyone in the kitchen. As a result, Heimer received a large sum of money after being praised by the restaurant owner. He thought that the matter would end at this moment.

However, it was obvious that the people in the kitchen did not intend to let the stingtail worms go. In a hurry, Heimer said to them.

Chi Haimo: "Spinytails, they are already my Pokémon, so you can't do anything to them."

Seeing Heimer speak, no one in the kitchen dared to say anything.

After this, Heimer returned the spiny-tailed insects and the natural sparrows to the forest.

Chi Haimo: "Then I'm leaving. You two little guys, don't do such stealing things again in the future."

After hearing what Heimer said, the Thornytail and the Natural Sparrow nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Heimer was about to leave, but unexpectedly, Tianranque used instant teleportation to block Heimer's way.

Natural tits: "Raji!"

Chi Haimo: "What's the matter?"

At this time, the stingtail worm also climbed onto Heimer's shoulder and rubbed his head against him.

This sudden closeness did not make Heimer happy, but rather a little uncomfortable.

Heimer really didn't understand what they meant, so he asked the forest lizard to come out and help translate.

After listening to what the stingrays said, the forest lizard drew a picture on the ground with a branch. After looking at the forest lizard's painting, Heimer realized that the stingrays meant that they wanted to follow him.

Because they had promised Heimer that they would no longer be thieves, the two of them had no source of income, so after seeing Heimer defending them in front of everyone, they had the idea of ​​going with Heimer.

Chi Haimo: "Is that so."

(What should I do? I didn’t expect this to happen. Hmm…)

Seeing Heimer hesitate, the two little guys became obviously worried. They thought Heimer would refuse, but who knew that Heimer said happily.

Chi Haimo: "Well, Thornytail, Natural Bird, please give me more advice from now on."

Hearing this, the natural sparrow and the thorntail insect happily turned in circles.

(It's so strange, why did I agree to it? Obviously, I was so afraid of new relationships before. Well, forget it, I don't want to think too much about it.)

Then Heimer took out two Poké Balls and gently touched the Thornytail and Natural Sparrow with the Poké Balls.

After the two Poké Balls shook three times at the same time, they stopped. Heimer successfully captured the Thornytail and the Natural Sparrow.

Perhaps it was the company of the forest lizards that gave Heimer confidence. It was undoubtedly a very happy thing for Heimer to be able to make two close friends at once.
