Chapter 70: Mongoose Slash Riot (Absol and Frog)
After Heimer went to see the Pokémon in Liuhe, he and Xiaoshun set out for Qiuye Town.
On the way, Xiao Shun said while holding the pocket navigator.
Xiao Shun: "The Autumn Leaf Conference seems to be starting in a few days. Are you planning to participate?"
(Akiba Conference, isn’t that, um…)
Chi Haimo: "Forget it, I'll take a break. I won't attend the Autumn Leaf Conference."
After hearing this, Xiao Shun said to Heimer with a sly smile.
Xiao Shun: "Well, you got three ribbon medals. Are you proud?"
Heimer put his hands behind his head and said with a relaxed smile.
Chi Haimo: "Not really, um, but I am a little proud."
Looking at Heimer's smiling expression, Xiao Shun couldn't help but pinch his face with his hands.
Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun! It hurts, it hurts! Why do you keep pinching me?"
In response to Heimer's protest, Xiao Shun said with a smirk.
Xiao Shun: "Because it's very easy to pinch."
Just as the two were playing and fighting, a loud sound of fighting was heard from the bushes next to them.
After hearing this, Xiao Shun and Hai Mo went to check carefully and found that the fighting sound was made by a large group of meerkats.
Xiao Shun: "It seems like they are hunting something."
Chi Haimo: "Well, I can't see clearly. Oh, come out, Butterfree."
With a flash of white light, Butterfree appeared in front of Heimer and Shun, and Heimer handed the Pokémon Encyclopedia to Butterfree.
Chi Haimo: "Bardie, use your telekinesis to control your body to fly into the sky, then aim the Atlas at the group of meerkats and kill the target they are hunting."
Butterfree nodded, then used telekinesis to control her body and flew above the group of meerkats.
Xiao Shun: "Why do you need to use telekinesis to fly over there?"
Chi Haimo: "Because Mongoose Slash's senses are very sharp, the sound of Butterfree flapping its wings may be detected by Mongoose Slash, so it would be safer to approach it with telekinesis."
Looking at Heimer who was analyzing the situation for him seriously, Xiao Shun couldn't help but smile.
Xiao Shun: “I see.”
Just as Butterfree used telekinesis to control the illustrated guide to aim at the group of meerkats, the illustrated guide made a sound.
Illustration: "The fang snake Pokémon will wrap its thick body around its opponent. It is the eternal enemy of the mongoose. The blade on its tail is not only sharp, but also oozes out a deadly poison."
At this moment, Mongoose Slash heard the voice of the illustration and immediately changed its hunting target to Bardieu in the air.
Chi Haimo: "In that case, Bardalie, sleep powder."
Green powder poured down, and all the meerkats fell asleep at once. The hunted rice spoon snake also fell into a deep sleep because of the sleeping powder.
Seeing that all the meerkats had fallen asleep, Heimer and Xiao Shun hurried to the side of the spoon snake to check on him. After getting close to the spoon snake, Heimer discovered that there were many scars on the snake's body that needed to be treated immediately.
Chi Haimo: "Let me see, I should have some medicine for my injuries."
At this time, Xiao Shun suddenly knocked Heimer to the ground and said.
Xiao Shun: "Be careful!"
Chi Haimo: "Ahhh, what's wrong!"
When Heimer looked carefully, he realized that when he was looking for medicine, an Absol was about to use his whirlwind blade on him.
Heimer and Xiao Shun stood up. Heimer dusted off his body and said a little angrily.
Chi Haimo: "Hey, this is very dangerous, do you know that?"
Absol: "Ab!"
Facing Heimer's rebuke, Absol did not give him a good look, but showed a more ferocious expression. He compressed the air around him again and tried to use the whirlwind blade on Heimer again.
(Is he a companion of the Snake? Or a companion of the Mongoose Slayer? Well, no matter what, let Absol calm down first. Snake needs treatment right now.)
Chi Haimo: "Bardalie, sleeping powder."
Butterfree flapped its wings and green powder fell like a rainstorm, but Absol was very agile and avoided the sleeping powder with just one jump.
Xiao Shun: "Hmm, what a nimble skill."
At this moment, the whirlwind blade was fired again, and this time it actually hit the group of Mongoose Slayers directly. The Mongoose Slayers woke up instantly.
Xiao Shun: "Not good."
Chi Haimo: "Well, there are too many targets, and the effect of the sleeping powder has been weakened a lot, so they all woke up so easily."
Xiao Shun took out Poison Rose's Poké Ball with his right hand and said to Heimer beside him.
Xiao Shun: "Looks like we have no choice but to fight. Poison Rose, go ahead."
With a flash of white light, Poison Rose gracefully jumped out of the Poké Ball.
Xiao Shun: "Jump into the group of meerkats and use Falling Petals."
With an elegant leap, Poison Rose landed directly among the group of Mongoose Slayers, who immediately switched their hunting targets to Poison Rose.
The poisonous rose was seen spinning its body gracefully as if it was dancing ballet, and the layers of flowers hit the group of meerkats heavily, causing many of them to lose their ability to fight.
At this moment, the Absol suddenly jumped up and slashed at the remaining meerkats with a heavy whirlwind blade.
(Hmm? It seems that this Absol is here to help Snake.)
Under the fierce attack of Poison Rose and Absol, all the Mongoose Slayers fled the scene.
When Heimer saw that all the meerkats had evacuated, he turned around and was about to help the ricespoon snake clean its wounds. However, the ricespoon snake had also woken up at this time and glared at Heimer and the others fiercely.
Even though Absol tried to persuade him, Snake didn't seem to believe what Hammer and the others said. His tail suddenly emitted a dazzling purple light.
Xiao Shun: "It's Poison Tail, Poison Rose!"
Just as Xiao Shun was about to give instructions, Heimer immediately interrupted him and said.
Chi Haimo: "Xiao Shun, let me do it, Butterfree, use the sleeping powder again."
The light green powder fell around the rice spoon snake again, and the rice spoon snake fell asleep again.
When Heimer saw that the spoon snake had fallen asleep, he was about to go forward, but the spoon snake suddenly woke up, pushed Heimer away and jumped into the bushes.
Heimer staggered and fell to the ground. Xiao Shun saw it and hurried forward and asked anxiously.
Xiao Shun: "Heimer, are you okay?"
Chi Haimo: "It's okay, um, I didn't expect him to wake up so soon, let's go find him, I'm a little worried about Fansao Snake, the wound on his body needs to be treated quickly."
After hearing what Heimer said, Absol bit Xiao Shun's clothes with his mouth and pulled it to the right side of the forest.
Xiao Shun: "Hmm? Over there?"
Chi Haimo: "It seems that he wants to tell us that the rice spoon snake seems to have escaped over there."
Heimer and Xiao Shun followed Absol to a fork in the forest. Absol was spinning in circles, and it seemed that it didn't know where to go next.
Chi Haimo: "It seems that we have to separate temporarily."
Xiao Shun: "Okay, if you encounter any danger, just fire your skills into the sky and I will come right over."
Chi Haimo: "Okay."
Absol seemed to like Shun very much, and chose the path on the right with Shun and Poison Rose.
Heimer and Butterfree chose the path on the left. The sudden appearance of Pokémon in the bushes along the way frightened Heimer. Fortunately, with Butterfree's sleeping powder, Heimer was able to walk through safely.
(I didn’t expect that encountering Pokémon in the bushes would be so terrifying in real life. Well, a small amount of sleeping powder can only make those wild Pokémon sleep for a short while, but it is enough for us to escape.)
At the end of the path on the left is a clear spring and a rice spoon snake right next to it.
When Fansipan saw Heimer coming, it immediately gathered the power of poison again, and the blade on its tail glowed bright purple.
(Ah, how should I explain this? Use the sleeping powder again? Well, no, it would be bad if it suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night. It seems that Snake is unwilling to communicate with other Pokémon. Oh, that’s right!)
Heimer picked up a sharp stone next to him and cut a cut on his arm. When Butterfree saw this, he immediately flew to Heimer's side worriedly.
Chi Haimo: "I'm fine, Butterfree, Snake, look."
While bandaging the wound on his arm with a bandage, Heimer spoke gently to Spoon Snake.
Chi Haimo: "I want to help you bandage the wounds on your tail and body, okay?"
In response to Heimer's action, Snake withdrew its poisonous tail. Seeing that Snake agreed, Heimer immediately stepped forward to bandage Snake's wound.
(Well, because of the large twisting of the body, the injuries on the body seem to have become more serious.)
After Heimer bandaged Snake's wound, he spoke to Snake gently.
Chi Haimo: "Remember, take a good rest these days and try not to fight."
Rice Spoon Snake bowed to Heimer gratefully. When Heimer saw this, he suddenly thought of the poison rose for some reason. He gently touched Rice Spoon Snake's head and said.
Chi Haimo: "My best friend, his personality is as stubborn as yours. Well, I remember when I first met him, he was also covered in wounds. His small body seemed to have great energy. Even when he was about to fall, he was still tenacious and stared at the enemy in front of him."
When Heimer said this, many memories came to his mind at once.
(Thinking about it, Poison Rose and I have known each other for a long time. From the first time we met, to when we received the ribbon medal of the Kanaz Conference, until now, we have experienced so many things together. Alas, I was worried about Color Mania before, so I teleported him back to the research institute and never teleported him back. Well, I wonder how he is doing now.)
Seeing that Heimer was in a daze, Fanshao Snake touched him with his head in confusion.
Chi Haimo: "Ah, it's okay, well, then you take good care of your injuries, we'll leave first."
(Well, I have to find Shun quickly.)
Just as Heimer was about to get up and leave, the spoon snake twisted its body and blocked him.
Chi Haimo: "Hmm? What's wrong?"
Butterfree seemed to understand what Snake meant. It flew to Heimer's bag, took out an empty Poké Ball and handed it to Heimer.
Chi Haimo: "Do you want to go with me?"
Rice Spoon Snake: "Hamen!"
In response to Heimer's question, Fansho Snake nodded vigorously.
Chi Haimo: "Then, let's go together."
Heimer took the Poké Ball from Butterfree and gently touched Snake.
Snake instantly turned into a red light and entered the Poké Ball. Then the Poké Ball shook three times and then stopped.
(It's a pleasure to meet you, Spoon Snake.)
