Chapter 296 Spring
If you want to finish the battle quickly, use the "Song of the End" skill to prevent Itachi from escaping and to buy time. At the same time, use words to distract the opponent's mind, so that Itachi will attack with all his might.
Then find an opening to attack, and use the skill of quick retreat to avoid losing your combat ability due to the Song of the End.
to be frank.
Even the flower-colored sea lion hadn't expected its plan to go so smoothly.
She had already prepared Plan B, which was to continue provoking the other party's anger and then let the Swim Ring Weasel rush out of the river and walk into the trap; Plan C, which was to kill each other; and Plan D, which was to enter the Poké Ball and then go back to the bottom of the river to battle.
However, the flower-colored sea lion didn't pay much attention to the ferret that had already lost its fighting ability.
After returning to the Poké Ball, the Sprite immediately jumped out of it.
"Flowers!"
Clinging to Xia Mu's leg, the flower-like sea lion began to whine and beg for praise.
Looking at the bright, watery eyes of the Flourish, and then at the Salt Giant being pulled out of the water by the Snivy's vine whip, Xia Mu suddenly thought of a Pokémon with the Danger Avoidance ability.
The armored warrior sensed danger as the massive fireballs approached, so he returned to his Poké Ball and sent out a Scizor that was four times weak to fire.
After finishing her battle in the sea, the Blooming Selkie prepared to return to her Poké Ball, so she sent out the water-averse Giant Salt.
The two are quite similar in their effectiveness.
The plan of the Flourish Sea Lion was actually quite comprehensive, but the one thing she hadn't considered was that when she used U-turn, the only Pokémon she had in her Poké Ball was a Water-averse Gigantamax.
and so.
As Xia Mu and the others watched in disbelief, the surface of the water suddenly churned, and the previously ill-tempered swim ring weasel slowly emerged from the water. At the same time, a red light flashed.
Because it didn't want to get close to the water, the Salt Rock Golem, which had been hiding in its Poké Ball, was sent to the surface of the water with a bewildered look on its face.
The result is.
Xia Mu wanted to boast about the Flowery Sea Lion, but after seeing the Salt Stone Giant, who was sitting on the ground with its arms wrapped around its knees and looking sullen, not far away, he found himself unable to speak.
Especially after understanding what the Salt Stone Giant was muttering with a look of regret.
"Paning and panting (I shouldn't have gone out that day. If I hadn't gone out, I wouldn't have met that crab. If I hadn't met that crab, I wouldn't have become his enemy. If I hadn't become his enemy, I wouldn't have gotten caught while trying to get revenge. If I hadn't gotten caught, I wouldn't have—)"
The Salt Stone Giant was withdrawn, while the Flowery Sea Lion was seeking praise. After hesitating for a moment, Xia Mu decided to praise the Flowery Sea Lion while also comforting the Salt Stone Giant.
As for the others...
Snake Sister pulled the swimming ring weasel floating on the water to the riverbank. After hesitating for a moment, the blacksmith put down his sledgehammer and picked up a kitchen knife. Cat showed off its sharp claws as it rubbed its hands together, while Mibrim used its superpowers to fish out several crystals full of ice energy from the river.
As for Xiaoyao and Zigan, urged by Mibrim, they carried the crystal and headed towards the nearby camp with many backward glances.
In short.
Today, Padia gained a naked weasel with "I'm a bad guy" written on it in marker. Xia Mu gained some weasel fur and ice-type crystals that could be sold. Cat, Blacksmith, and Snake Sister deepened their understanding through their joint efforts. Flower Sea Lion gained confidence, and Salt Giant's fear of water also lessened slightly.
It can be said that everyone has a bright future.
After leaving the swimming ring weasel with a lifelong fear of attacking passersby, Natsuki and the others ate freshly baked desserts and drank black tea amidst hearty laughter, and then embarked on their journey.
Continuing along the river, Xia Mu and the others eventually arrived at two ordinary small towns.
But before Xia Mu and his companions could enter the town, they were immediately blocked by a hot, long-haired woman with brown skin.
"So it's you guys? The ones who just attacked wild Pokémon by the river!"
Two strands of blue highlights were visible in her long black hair, and the swimming goggles on her head and the wetsuit on her body reminded Xia Mu of Xi Ziyi, who loved swimming.
Although she has a very hot figure, she is a long-haired, dark-skinned mature woman who suits my taste.
Despite the other party's impolite tone, Xia Mu still put his hands on his hips in annoyance.
"Who are you? You think you're Officer Jenny? I'm not telling you, go ahead and hit me if you dare!"
Looking at Xia Mu's smug face, the long-haired beauty with blue eyeshadow couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and grab the Poké Ball at her waist with her right hand.
"If this awful personality trait isn't corrected, you'll definitely be attracted to those evil organizations!"
Her tone was somewhat low, as if she were thinking about some past experiences.
However, Xia Mu suspected that this guy was just putting on an act to appear to be doing it for your own good.
Not to mention, how could the experiences of a mere passerby possibly be more impressive than one's own?
"Ha, evil organization, I'm the man who beat up Team Rocket, Team Magma, Team Aqua, Team Plasma—don't even mention being attracted to me, I, Xia, am the savior of evil! I'm not bragging, back then—"
As Xia Mu was confidently recounting his experiences in the game, he failed to notice the strange expression on the woman's face after hearing about the Ocean Team.
"Wait a minute? You just said—Team Aquatics?!"
"Hmm, I've fought Team Marine more than once. What SSS executives, what Archie, what New Team Marine—"
..."
At this point, Xia Mu suddenly paused.
He remembered that the New Ocean Team was a well-known marine conservation organization that held various public welfare activities from time to time. Even the super deluxe fishing rig that Xia Mu had received before was a product developed by the New Ocean Team, which had multiple functions such as being pollution-free and biodegradable.
Natsuki had recently seen news that Team Aqua was preparing to bring in the Pokédex, a ship that can collect marine debris, to the Hoenn region.
However, just as Natsuki was wondering whether he should mix up the current Team Aqua with the storyline of the Ultra Emerald game he was playing, Izumi, a former Team Aqua executive and current captain of the new Team Aqua, and a member of a marine conservation charity, looked at Natsuki with a sweet smile.
"It seems you know a lot about Team Marines?"
No, that's not true!
Xia Mu shook his head.
"On the contrary, Team Lava's Fire Geese, well—hey!"
"Do you also know Huoyan?"
Xia Mu rolled her eyes at A Quan, who looked surprised.
"What are you saying? I know Quan from the Ocean Team! Do you want me to tell you about how she used to chase after me all the time?!"
"Please be sure to explain in detail why I'm pursuing you!!"
These words were not spoken by A-Quan, but by an old woman with a cane who rushed up to Xia Mu at a speed that belied her appearance.
"Quan, I thought you'd never date a man in your life. I never imagined you'd like young men—you should have told me sooner, Grandma would have arranged things for you!"
The mother-in-law's well-defined hands gripped Xia Mu tightly, making it impossible for Xia Mu to break free, and at the same time, making Xia Mu realize the identity of the mature woman in front of him.
"You—want to eat me, this young grass?!"
"You're actually shocked by this?!"
Haruka and her two friends, who thought Natsuki would be shocked and say, "You're Izumi from Team Marines," loudly retorted.
However, Xia Mu didn't pay attention to these small details.
"No wonder they chased me all over the Hoenn region back then, so that's why—"
Seeing Xia Mu's thoughtful expression, the mother-in-law became even more agitated.
"No wonder you always refused when I introduced you to potential blind dates, so that's why—"
A-Quan: "————"
At this moment, Izumi, known as the "brain of the Ocean Team" and a fan favorite in the team for his serious and straightforward personality, showed a speechless expression.
"Please, Grandma, can you please not take this guy's delusions seriously? They're just bullies who know how to play Pokémon!!"
Upon hearing this, Haruka, a local from Hoenn, displayed a complex expression.
"—They actually called me a bad guy by the Marines!"
As for Xia Mu.
"Okay, I'm the bad guy!"
Seeing Xia Mu raising his hand with a happy expression, the grandmother smiled even more kindly.
"This is clearly a gentle and considerate child!"
