Chapter 34: The drunken man appears (it turns out to be Huang Huang Ban)
After the Hongbo Conference, Heimer planned to go to Zijin City to have a good rest. It was said that the city was known as the colorful capital of joy and there should be many fun places there.
Towards the afternoon, Heimer and his companions found a suitable lawn and prepared to have lunch before continuing their journey.
Because there were a lot of canned fruits on sale in Hongbo Town before, Haimer bought a lot.
After Heimer released everyone from the Poké Ball, he took out a simple dining table and kitchen utensils and began to prepare today's lunch.
Just as Heimer opened a can of peach-flavored food, a wild hunting swallowtail butterfly flew over from the nearby grass.
Chi Haimo: "It seems that they were attracted by the smell of canned peaches. After all, the canned food in Hongbo Town is famous for its fragrance. It can almost be regarded as a sweet fragrance."
Heimer took a small bowl from his backpack, poured some of the pulp from the can into the bowl, and handed it to the hunting butterfly.
The hunting swallowtail butterfly was flying happily in the sky, and its beautiful wings made the stingrays nearby very envious.
After everyone finished lunch, the hunting swallowtail butterfly flew into the forest, then flew to Heimer and gave him a bouquet of flowers, as if to thank him for his hospitality.
After that, the hunting swallowtail butterfly said goodbye to Heimer and the others and returned to the forest.
Looking at Heimer's expression after receiving the flowers, the stingtail insect couldn't help but think, when he evolved into a hunting swallowtail butterfly, would he have the same expression as he did now when he gave Heimer flowers?
After packing up, Heimer caught a glimpse of the dazed Thornytail beside him, and asked with a little concern.
Chi Haimo: "Spinytail, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The spiny-tailed insect shook its head slightly and then coiled up its body.
Chi Haimo: "Well, it should be okay."
Heimer was just about to turn around to get his luggage, but when he turned around he saw Tian Ran who was staring at him.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, Tianranque, you don't have to stare at me like that anymore. I'm not scared of what happened last time anymore."
In the face of Heimer's words, Tianranque still did not respond, but continued to stare at him.
Seeing this, Heimer immediately grinned and used his hands to tickle Tianran's bird.
But who would have thought that even though Heimer was almost exhausted from being tickled, the natural bird was still standing still, staring at Heimer.
Seeing this, Heimer smiled helplessly and said.
Chi Haimo: "Alas, there is really nothing I can do about you."
(Well, no, I have to think of a way. If this continues, Tianran Que might have health problems because of staying up late and staring at me. Well, I got it!)
After Heimer put the things in the backpack into another bag, he put a thick towel inside the backpack.
Chi Haimo: "Natural Sparrow, get into the backpack."
Tianranque shook his head when he saw this. It seemed that he meant that once he got into the backpack, he could no longer stare at Heimer, as that would scare Heimer.
Chi Haimo: "Well, if you can get into my backpack and lean against my back through the backpack, I think that next time I encounter that kind of situation, I should not be afraid anymore, because, there is Tianran Que behind me, so, there is no need to be afraid, well, Tianran Que, please."
After thinking for a while, Tianranque agreed to Heimer. He jumped into the bag, sat on the towel, and fell asleep immediately.
(Alas, Tianranque, it seems that you haven't slept well for several days. Well, sleep well, my little knight.)
After Helmer, Helmer collected all the Pokémon except Thornier and Natural Sparrow into the Poké Ball.
Because the spiny-tailed worm was not in a good condition, Heimer put her on his shoulder, hoping to chat with her.
Chi Haimo: "Spinytail, are you still sad about the failure in the last battle?"
Spinytail: "Kemo..."
The spiny-tailed worm lowered its head apologetically.
Seeing this, Heimer touched the head of the spiny-tailed insect with his finger and said to her.
Chi Haimo: "It's okay. It's normal to feel sad, so you don't have to feel sorry for me. Well, let's go find some Pokémon to challenge later."
The spiny-tailed worm looked at Heimer with some concern.
Chi Haimo: "Don't worry, I'll help you."
(Well, then again, there don’t seem to be any Pokémon around here.)
Suddenly, the grass began to shake violently.
(Hmm, what is that? It's shaking so violently, is it some powerful Pokémon?)
Under the gaze of Heimer and Thornytail, a swaying spotted fish, as if drunk, swaggered out from the bushes.
Chi Haimo: "Well, it turns out to be a dangling spot."
Huanghuangban had only taken a few steps when he stumbled and fell in the middle of the road.
Seeing this, Heimer immediately ran over and picked him up.
Chi Haimo: "Is it okay for you?"
Huanghuangban didn't respond, but burped and then smiled and drooled.
After careful inspection, Heimer discovered that this wobbly spot was not just drunk in appearance, but was actually drunk...
Chi Haimo: "Well, if that's the case, this wobbly spot."
???: "Swaying spots!"
Suddenly, a man dressed like a farmer ran out. It seemed that he was the trainer of this Madara.
Chi Haimo: "Um, are you his trainer?"
???: "Oh, no, I am his partner, my name is Dongwu, hello."
Chi Haimo: "Sorry, I'm asking, why is this Huanghuangban so drunk?"
Dongwu: "Oh, that's because he, like me, likes drinking very much, so he often runs from the forest to my house to drink with me. However, the alcohol content of the wine this time is a bit high, so, hahahaha."
Dong Wu smiled and touched his head embarrassedly.
(Ah, this...)
Afterwards, Heimer and Dongwu came to Dongwu's cabin, where Dongwu made a sobering drink for Huanghuangban.
After Huanghuangban gulped down the drink, he burped like a big boss and then started dancing with a smile on his face.
Chi Haimo: "Does he live in the nearby forest?"
Dongwu: “Yes, he often comes to my house to play.”
Heimer took a sip of the drink Dongwu handed him, and then continued to ask.
Chi Haimo: "Do you live here alone?"
Dongwu: "Well, because I like forests very much, so when I was 25 years old, I decided to build my own cabin in the middle of the forest. Hahaha, I have probably been in the forest for three years now."
Chi Haimo: "Wow, this kind of life is pretty good."
Dongwu glanced at the stinging-tailed insect eating berries next to Heimer and asked curiously.
Dongwu: "This thorntail has such beautiful colors. It looks like she will evolve soon."
Heimer asked happily when he heard this.
Chi Haimo: "Ah? Are you telling the truth?"
Dong Wu: "Well, don't worry, I've seen so many stingtails and I won't be wrong. Your stingtail will probably evolve after winning one more battle."
Chi Haimo: "Great, Thornytail."
When the stingtail heard that it had to win the battle, it instantly became like a deflated ball and collapsed to the ground.
Dongwu: "Why don't you have a Pokémon battle with me?"
Chi Haimo: "Eh? Is it okay?"
Dongwu: "Yeah, my Pokémon is Caterpillar, and it's about to evolve, so let's just help each other."
Chi Haimo: "Yeah, what about the stingtail worm? Is that okay?"
After thinking for a while, the thorntail worm nodded to Heimer.
Chi Haimo: "Well, Dongwu, let's have a game."
Dongwu: "Okay, let's choose the open space next to my house as the battle location."
Afterwards, Heimer followed Dongwu with the stingtail worm to the open space.
