Chapter 163 The Bully Trio and the Schemer
Whoosh!
When the sea lion Qiuqiu leaped out of the water and landed directly on the deck, she excitedly hugged Xia Mu's feet to show off her success, while tearfully asking Xia Mu to give the pearl oyster some delicious treats as an apology.
"Ball, ball, ball!"
Ball Ball the sea lion seemed too excited, so Xia Mu had no idea what the little guy was saying.
However, looking at the tears on Qiuqiu the sea lion's face, Xia Mu knew...
"How dare you bully my Pokémon?!"
Xia Mu was so angry that she jumped up and down.
"New Leaf Cat, Green Vine Snake, if that guy dares to come out of the water, beat him to a pulp! I'll show him what cruelty is!"
"How dare they bully such an adorable sea lion? Is there no law? Is there no morality?"
As Xia Mu shouted loudly, Xin Ye Miao and Qing Teng She exchanged a glance.
Then, Xin Ye Miao patted her chest and nodded to the Green Vine Snake.
No problem, leave the explanation to me.
Xinye Miao jumped in front of Xia Mu, trying to explain for Qiuqiu the sea lion.
but.
"Meow--"
Shin-chan had barely opened her mouth when she seemed to hear someone calling her name.
Then, Shin-Ye-Nyan's ears twitched slightly.
As a shadow gradually approached the water's surface, she finally heard the other person's words clearly.
"Beep beep (What kind of skillful blacksmith, what kind of new leaf cat, each one more shameless than the last, they have no shame at all, actually making up such things! You have to give me an explanation today!)"
"Meow meow!"
Xin Ye Miao jumped up and down in anger.
How dare you call me shameless?!
I'm a man of honor, what explanation do I need to give? You're dead meat today.
The cat's fiery temper simply couldn't stand such humiliation.
So, forget about explaining anything to Ball Ball Sea Lion, New Leaf Cat just charged towards the shadows with things like, "Wait till I fish you out and leave you to bake in the sun for three days and three nights," and "I'm going to turn you into dried salted fish."
Seeing this, the Green Vine Snake shook its head.
I knew you were unreliable.
So, as the vine whip shot out to stop Xin Ye Miao, the Green Vine Snake stepped towards Xia Mu.
At times like this, it's my turn to "Hey (and that Snake, as a Pokémon, he actually tried to learn human cooking skills, he's useless and incompetent, who would want you to ask someone to make delicious food for you—...·)"
brush!
The vine whip twisted nimbly in the air, instantly slicing past New Leaf Cat and plunging into the sea.
At the same time, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Green Vine Serpent, and the icy low pressure around it even calmed down the irritable Xia Mu instantly.
"No, this—"
Xia Mu and the others exchanged glances. Although none of them understood the meaning behind Pearl Shell's words, they were all at least certain of one thing.
That guy who's getting close to the sea right now is doomed!
And just as Xia Mu had thought.
The Green Vine Serpent used its vine whip to bind the pearl oyster and pull it up from the sea. The black-glowing blade in front of the New Leaf Cat's paw swung out fiercely.
clang!
With sparks flying, Xin Ye Miao stomped hard on the seashell in front of her, which was covered in wounds.
"Meow, meow!"
If you've got the guts, come out here! If you've got the guts to insult us, come out here!
Looking at the pearl oyster huddled in its shell, Xin Ye Miao was angry, while Xia Mu was puzzled.
"Isn't it a tetra? Why is it a pearl oyster?!"
Xia Mu was puzzled, but Qing Teng She had already begun preparing to set up a pot and start a fire.
"Ta-da! (I'll show you how amazing my cooking skills are right now!)"
Seeing this, Xizi Yi, a lover of Water-type Pokémon, couldn't help but stand up.
"Give me some face, everyone—"
Before she could finish speaking, Xi Ziyi was bound like a rice dumpling by the Green Vine Snake with its whip, and the whip was stuffed into her mouth.
And so, Xi Ziyi continued to struggle.
Let go of that pearl oyster!
Meanwhile, the pearl oyster, which had retreated into its shell, sensed the commotion and gave a sinister smile.
"Bah~"
You think you can mess with me with this?
Even the thick shell couldn't stop Pearl Besser's laughter.
So, with a flick of his vine whip, he summoned the Blacksmith directly from Xia Mu's Poké Ball.
"Pry open this damn shell!"
"Clang clang!"
The skilled blacksmith clapped his hands and brought them close to the pearl shell.
Although she didn't hear what Pearl Shell said, she didn't know why New Leaf Cat and Green Vine Snake were so angry.
but.-
Leave everything to me!
"Clang!"
With a low shout, the skilled blacksmith grabbed the seam of the shell and pulled hard.
As expected, the shell was pulled open instantly.
Thus, the cunningly smiling Shellder saw the blue sky and the sun for the first time in its many years as a Pokémon—or perhaps for the last.
Pearl oyster: !!! (A8) Skilled blacksmith: C(·H·)
Looking at the smug-looking blacksmith, then at the cold-eyed Green Vine Snake and the mischievous New Leaf Cat licking its claws, she thought to herself.
The pearl oyster realized something.
Pearl Shell smiled calmly as her gaze fell upon the sea lion, Ball Ball, clinging to Xia Mu's leg.
Damn it, she actually lied to people while crying. She deserved to be caught!
"chant!!!!"
The sky was clear and the air was fresh, the breeze was gentle and the sun was shining.
On the vast blue sea, a fishing boat bobs with the waves.
"Beep beep (I'm sorry, it's all because I said the wrong thing, I apologize!)"
With a bruised and swollen face, Pearl Shell tearfully apologized to the trio of bullies. If it weren't for his physical limitations, Xia Mu even suspected that Pearl Shell would have knelt down to apologize.
At this moment, the guilty-hearted sea lion Ballball slowly walked up to the three little ones who had finished venting their anger.
"Ball Ball -..—"
Unaware that Pearl Oyster had harbored ill intentions towards her, the sea lion Ball Ball pleaded for Pearl Oyster's life.
Faced with the youngest's request, Xin Ye Miao and Qing Teng She, having already vented their anger, readily agreed.
"despair!"
"Meow!"
The two little ones, looking refreshed, nodded. Seeing this, the sea lion, Ball Ball, immediately smiled. Then, she put several energy cubes she had obtained from Xia Mu into the pearl oyster's shell.
"Please (I'm sorry!)"
"mouth-.-.
Before Pearl Shell could finish speaking, Green Vine Snake, disgusted, threw it back into the sea with its vine whip.
Pfft!
Glug glug glug!
The pearl oysters seemed to want to say something, but they all turned into tiny bubbles and disappeared into the sea.
However, none of the people on the ship paid attention to these small details at the time.
After the pearl oyster was thrown into the sea, the Green Vine Snake also untied Xi Ziyi.
"despair!"
My apologies!
The Green Vine Snake politely apologized to Xi Ziyi, to which Xi Ziyi could only shake her head to indicate that she didn't mind.
"It's alright, after all—"
Thinking back to the pearl oyster's behavior after she was tied up, Xi Ziyi was basically certain that the pearl oyster was a vicious creature.
Especially since he already knew that Shellder was a carnivorous Pokémon, he strongly suspected that Popplio had been attacked by this Shellder.
Therefore, he understands.
but.
"What a pity."
Xi Ziyi shook her head, her face full of regret.
"It feels like this pearl oyster is almost ready to evolve—"
Zi and the others were somewhat puzzled.
"Does Mr. Xizi Yi want to subdue him?"
"No, it's mainly because pearl oysters can produce pearls during evolution—"
Upon hearing this, Xia Mu immediately realized what was going on.
"Damn it, we've lost a fortune!"
Pearl Oyster, as the name suggests, is a Pokémon that can produce pearls.
Unlike the giant oyster, which can continuously produce pearls over time, a pearl oyster will only produce one pearl in its lifetime, and mostly during its evolution.
"It's said that pearls produced by pearl oysters are worth more than ten times that of pearls produced by tongue oysters, and they also have the special effect of enhancing mental power. By the way, Jumpy Pig wears pearls produced by pearl oysters on its head!"
Haruka, who had visited the Pearl Oyster Research Institute in the Hoenn region, explained the situation to Yukari and the others, revealing the reason for Natsuki's loss.
Hearing this, Xia Mu became even more heartbroken.
"Sigh, sigh, sigh! My chance to get rich slipped through my fingers! If only I could have another chance, I would definitely..."
But what no one knew was that the pearl oyster, which was slowly sinking towards the seabed, was disgustedly spitting out the few energy cubes that the ball-shaped sea lion had just put into its shell.
Then, the pearl oyster glared fiercely at the fishing boat overhead.
Or rather, at this moment, the pearl oyster is not looking at the fishing boat, but at the old blue shady man inside the fishing boat.
"Ugh (Not only did he slap me twice, but he also humiliated me like this. If I can successfully evolve, I will definitely...)"
Before the words were finished, the pearl oyster was suddenly enveloped in a white light.
