Chapter 257 Luck Cat, Roaring Whale.
Shuimai City Port.
Shuimai City is close to the sea. After autumn, the sea breeze always brings a hint of coolness, which just dispels the summer heat. This kind of weather makes people feel very comfortable and is also very suitable for people to exercise and train Pokémon.
After the nightmare events of the previous few days were satisfactorily resolved, the city returned to its former prosperity.
So after successfully challenging the gym, Xiaoyun did not rush to leave the place. Instead, he bought some local specialties and came to the seaside of the port to enjoy a leisurely time, and also carried out his daily training by the way.
Something like this.
"Riolu, the use of Metal Claws can be strengthened a little bit."
"Infernape, focus the flames of your jet of fire again, don't let them disperse too much."
"Snorkeling Weasel, continue to use the water energy to make your gliding time on the water longer."
At the beach, Xiaoyun carefully inspected the training progress of each elf, and occasionally made simple corrections.
On the other side, our Xiaoguang and Xiemi had already laid out the food on the blanket.
And the job of arranging food is definitely a great torture for Xie Mi, a little foodie.
Looking at the delicious food, Xie Mi's saliva almost flowed like a river, and her little eyes kept rolling: "It looks delicious, Mimi, can I have some first?"
"Little glutton."
Xiaoguang also understood this guy's character. He directly used a fork to pick up a piece of takoyaki and stuffed it into Xiemi's mouth. He helplessly flicked Xiemi's head with his finger and said, "Let's go and call everyone to come over for dinner."
After tasting the sweetness, Xie Mi also obediently called for help with Xiaoguang.
However, just after Xiaoguang left, several dark shadows suddenly emerged from the nearby bushes, looking greedily at the food on the blanket.
Xiaoyun, who was in training, saw Xiaoguang coming over, and clapped his hands to signal the Pokémon to stop, and then said.
"Okay everyone, let's stop training here and eat first."
When they heard that it was time to eat, the Pokémon stopped training and actively rushed to the shore.
Back at the campsite, Xiaoyun stared blankly at the spot that was cleaner than Team Rocket's pocket, and smacked his lips and said, "Xiaoguang, this should be the place for our picnic."
"Yes, that's right."
Xiaoguang was also confused. She had so much food, how come it was gone all of a sudden?
“Rice food!”
The one who suffered the most when food was thrown to him was Shaymi. As a real foodie, someone actually stole food under his nose. He was so angry that he almost transformed into sky form.
"There are footprints here."
Xiaoyun felt that no one would be so unscrupulous as to steal something else but a bunch of food. The backpack and everything was still there. It was probably some wild Pokémon that did it.
Rocket Trio: ...swearing, huh?
Following this idea, Xiaoyun observed the surroundings of the camp and, as expected, found a bunch of footprints of different sizes in the nearest grass. Several people followed the footprints and extended them to the nearby sewer.
"Xiao Guang, why don't you and Xie Mi wait here first, I'll go down and look around and come back later."
Looking at the dark and damp appearance of the sewer, Xiaoyun looked at Xiaoguang and said.
"No, Mimi wants to go too. Mimi wants to see who dares to snatch Mimi's food!" But before Xiaoguang could say anything, Xiemi said angrily. He wanted to see what the little thief who stole his food looked like!
"Okay, don't be angry."
Xiao Guang gently touched Xie Mi, hurriedly comforted the irritable little guy, and then looked at Xiao Yun with her beautiful eyes: "Xiao Yun, why don't we go and take a look together."
Xiaoyun thought about it and decided there was no danger, so he agreed with Xiaoguang. Then they all climbed down the stairs to the sewer.
Unlike the dirty and messy ones in memory, the sewers in the Pokémon world do not have any pungent sewage stench. There are only huge iron pipes connecting the drainage pipes, and a drainage pool like a small river is located in the center.
Looking at the cleanliness of the water, we can confirm that there are no Pokémon like Sludge living here, which shows that the sewage management is still up to standard.
After a few people came down, facing the maze-like sewer, after walking for half a day, Xiaoyun couldn't help it and let Riolu out, letting it release the power of wave to sense the position.
Finally, under the guidance of Riolu, they followed the road to a relatively hidden pool, where a group of wild Pokémon were feasting on their lunch.
"Mimi finally found you, you food thieves!" When Xiemi saw this scene, he couldn't hold back his anger. He jumped out of Xiaoguang's arms and angrily questioned all the Pokémon.
"Meow!"
The wild Pokémon also stopped eating when they heard the noise. Among them, a Lek Cat came out with its teeth bared, its limbs scratching the ground, and it looked at Xiaoyun warily.
This look made Xie Mi angry. What does it mean? How dare you, a petty thief, be so arrogant? You think we are thieves!
He immediately planned to get ready and practice with Lukemao.
"Xie Mi, don't worry." Xiao Yun quickly stopped Xie Mi and comforted him.
It's mainly for Xie Mi. Looking at this little hedgehog, if a fight really starts, he might be the one who gets beaten.
"What are Xiaoyun and the others doing..." Xiaoguang asked puzzledly as he looked at the Pokémon that were beginning to gather around him. Pokémon like Tail, Guniu, Mimosa, and Lotus Leaf Boy were all looking at them warily like the Lekecat.
Behind them is a spherical, whale-like Pokémon about 2 meters tall, called Roaring Whale.
However, the howler whale looked very weak at this time and was listless overall.
"These... should be wild Pokémon that strayed into the city, or abandoned Pokémon that were forced to gather here to live." Xiaoyun frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him and began to explain.
This situation is indeed difficult to avoid.
After all, not every trainer can have the same original sincerity towards Pokémon as Ash, and many people still believe that if the captured Pokémon cannot increase their combat power, they will not hesitate to abandon it in the city with various excuses.
However, it is much harder for these Pokémon to survive alone in a city building than in the wild.
So from this point of view, Shinji is still pretty good. At least, he chose to release the Pokémon into the wild, and did not find any excuse to keep the other party hanging.
However, Pokémon like Roaringhorn are probably a mistake, because this type of Pokémon is suitable for ocean life, and generally few trainers choose this type of Pokémon to capture.
And...the main thing is that I can't afford it.
When Xiaoguang heard this, he immediately showed sympathy on his face, and then looked at the Luke cat and the elves behind it, his eyes full of pity.
Xie Mi, who was originally preparing for a fight, also felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just acted like he was ready to fight, but now he felt like he was the villain.
"We have no ill intentions. We just came over to take a look when we heard some noise. Is there enough food? If not, I still have some more here!"
As Xiaoyun spoke, he took out some energy blocks from his backpack. He didn't care about Leke Cat's grin at all, but handed the energy blocks in his hand to Leke Cat with a smile.
Perhaps it was because he felt Xiaoyun's kindness, or perhaps it was the affinity brought by the power of super-control, the Leke cat walked forward cautiously, sniffed the energy cube, and a fragrant smell entered his nose, then he picked up a piece with confidence.
Maybe it was because Xiaoyun himself was raised by Qing'an's Roentgen cat, so he subconsciously touched the Leke cat's head when he saw it eating.
At first, Lekemao was a little resistant, but some people's techniques were so skillful that he finally gave in.
"Have you encountered any difficulties? Why not tell me, maybe I can help you!" Xiaoyun said gently.
After hearing his words, the Luke cat slowly raised its head and looked at the boy in front of it. It looked directly into Xiaoyun's eyes, trying to see through his clear eyes and see into his inner thoughts.
"Lu..." Riolu, who was standing aside, was looking at this scene with a nostalgic look on his face.
It remembered that the situation was exactly the same when it first met Xiaoyun.
"Meow~" After staring at Xiaoyun for a while, the Leke cat's tense body gradually relaxed. It turned its head and walked towards the direction of the roaring whale.
Walking to the side of the roaring whale and seeing the other party's unbearable pain, Luke Cat felt very anxious.
It stretched out its front legs and gently touched the other's body, as if trying to relieve its pain in this way.
Xiaoyun also walked over to check the other person's physical condition.
"Xiao Yun, how is the physical condition of this howler whale?" Xiao Guang asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious. The main reason is that the environment here is not suitable for the survival of orcas. Let's give it some simple treatment first."
Xiaoyun gave the other person a reassuring look, then shouted at Xie Mi.
"Shami, it's your turn."
"Let's see what's going on."
Hearing Xiaoyun's voice, Xiemi jumped out confidently, and came to the side of the roaring whale on his two short legs. His body was flashing with emerald green light representing vitality, and then a refreshing fragrance emanated from Xiemi.
Under the surprised expression of Leke Cat, the condition of the orca recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the whole little whale became energetic and jumped happily in the small pool.
. . . . . . .
"So the howler whale can't get out and is trapped here?"
"Meow~" Lukecat nodded. As the leader among wild Pokémon, it also wanted to help Howler return to the sea, but it had failed several times.
"I see. But who should I use to help the Howler Whale?"
After getting the answer, Xiaoyun thought about the Pokémon he was carrying. Infernape is a fire-type Pokémon, and he can't let Itchi hold it up all the time. As for Ursa... forget it.
In fact, if Xiaoyun’s elf slot was not full, it would be better to capture him directly and then release him.
After thinking for a while, Xiaoyun suddenly had an idea and threw the Poké Ball from his waist.
"Come out, Dream Demon."
"Dream~"
The figure of the Dream Demon came out of the Poké Ball, and as soon as it came out, it surrounded Xiaoyun and wanted to get close to him.
Xiaoyun touched the other person lovingly and said, "Be good, Dream Demon mainly wants you to help him this time."
Under the curious gaze of the dream demon and everyone else, Xiaoyun expressed his thoughts.
"Use telekinesis."
"Dream!" As Xiaoyun finished speaking, the Dream Demon's eyes were instantly filled with blue light, and the powerful superpowers wrapped around the body of the Howler Whale. With the other party looking a little helpless, the body of the Howler Whale was slowly lifted up.
"The Dream Demon's telekinesis has become so powerful. It seems like it feels so easy."
Xiaoguang opened his lips slightly. He didn't expect that the dream demon, who usually looked like a little cutie, had such amazing explosive power.
Yes, Xiaoyun’s idea was to let the Dream Demon use telekinesis to drag the Howler Whale out.
However, it is only because the mental power of the Dream Demon is strong enough. If it were any other Pokémon to use its mental power like this, it would have collapsed long ago.
"Then Leke cat, please lead the way."
The scene before him made Luke Cat feel that things were promising, and he immediately began to lead the way to the junction of the port and the sewer, with Nidorino and Guniuniu following behind obediently.
Following the intersection, the group passed a place similar to a small waterfall, but the Dream Demon gently exerted force and used telekinesis to throw the howling whale up, and they passed this level.
The light gradually became clearer, and the exit of the sewer could be seen. However, just as they were about to arrive, a thick column of water shot towards them.
"Oh no, it's a water cannon attack!"
Xiaoyun reacted quickly and pulled Xiaoguang to avoid it.
"Meow!" Leke Cat leaped out, electric light appeared on his body, and he quickly shot out a bolt of lightning, successfully offsetting the water cannon attack.
Then, a shadow emerged from the water. It had a blue body, thick arms and tail fin. It was Swampert, the original water Pokémon of the Hoenn region.
The Lukecat seemed to have anticipated the other party's true appearance. Its hair stood up and it looked at Swampert with bared teeth.
"Monster!" Swampert looked at Lurk Cat provocatively. As a famous bully in the neighborhood, it was not afraid of Lurk Cat by virtue of its ground-type attribute that made it immune to electricity. Every time Lurk Cat and it had a fight, it usually won.
Looking at the people transporting the Howler, although Swampert didn't understand what they were doing, its bully instinct told it that it had to do something, otherwise wouldn't it be very embarrassed?
"Monster!" Thinking of this, Swampert gathered his strength again and sprayed out water cannon attacks from his mouth.
"Meow." Leke Cat dodged flexibly and at the same time threw out several yellow stars, using high-speed stars to counterattack. The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.
Seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, Xiaoyun, who was watching the fight from the side, decided to help Leke Cat and gave instructions to Riolu.
"Riolu, use Wave Missile."
Riolu condensed the energy in his palms, and dark blue wave missiles quickly formed and shot towards Swampert.
"Strange!"
Swampert, who was fighting with LuckyCat, saw someone attacking him, so he quickly used mud shooting to force LuckyCat back and then dived into the water to hide.
boom!
As the wave missile entered the water, it created a splash, and then Swampert slowly surfaced. He looked a little tired, but the anger in his eyes was getting higher and higher.
It's a shame that a bully like him could be ambushed by you.
Without caring about the Lek Cat, the angry Swampert spit out powerful mud bombs directly in the direction of Xiaoyun.
