Chapter 240 Higana: Why does that 'steel tire' look like it's going to hit me?
Upon seeing that the peat plateau was deserted and devoid of any Pokémon, Higanbana's expression changed several times, from initial smugness to confusion, and then to anger!
Higana suddenly puffed out her round face.
"Damn it, Sawaki!"
"You said you wouldn't let me get lost, and that you wanted to see the 'treasure' I found!"
"You broke your promise!"
Looking at the desolate Red Lotus Wetland around her, Xijiana felt increasingly lost. In her confusion, she spoke more and more angrily about "Ze Shu".
How can she be left to fend for herself in such a place?
"Seriously!"
"If I ever see that guy again, I'm definitely going to bully him with Mega Salamence and Thunderfury... and steal his Vulpix's snacks..."
Higana slumped to the ground, her face full of dejection, her mind filled with thoughts of "revenge" against Ze Shu.
Then, as she was muttering to herself, she felt something pat her on the shoulder.
"Let his six-tailed fox go without snacks, turning into a crying six-tailed fox... Um, don't hit me, I'm really annoyed! I'm also going to take away all his Orion fruits! And pluck all his fluffy sheep wool..."
"And we'll poison his Gengar... make Gengar get diarrhea and poop in the tree's shadow!"
Higana, with her strong sense of revenge, indulged in her fantasies, and then burst into laughter.
Then she felt a tap on her shoulder.
"I already told you to stop bothering me!"
"You're interfering with my 'inspiration burst'!"
Higana turned her head angrily.
But he was met with a row of gleaming white teeth and two pairs of bloodshot eyes.
Higanbana's pupils suddenly contracted: "A ghost! Waaaaaah!"—Gengar: "Giggle?"
It first tilted its head and pointed in the direction of Ze Shu.
Then, startled by Higana's scream, he stared in disbelief at the clearly frightened Higana, tears of emotion welling up in his reddened eyes.
"Hehehe~~~"
Unbelievable! Unbelievable...
It's not cute...
Some people can be scared by it!
Gengar's eyes were shining, and it looked at Higanbana as if she were a rare kindred spirit.
"Ugh, ugh!"
The bears' arena.
It's much more lively here.
"Gemini...Gemini..."
"Gemini! Gemini!"
The crescent patterns on the bear cubs' foreheads emitted a faint glow, because their paws were covered in a sticky liquid. Every time they took a bite, the bear cubs would shiver.
Modern versions of these contain evaporated milk.
A splash of glistening milk...
These bear cubs have been completely captivated by them.
"It still comes down to 'technology and ruthless skill'..."
Ze Shu rubbed one of his eyes without any hesitation and moved closer to the bear cub.
This little bear cub probably came over hoping to get more of the "Technology and Hardcore" crystal honey, but who knew that after Ze Shu rubbed it, it was so comfortable that its eyes were blurry. And it was not until Ze Shu finished rubbing it and let go, letting it go back to play by itself.
The little bear finally realized...
It's been whitewashed!
The bear cub's anger seemed cute to Ze Shu.
"Geek....Geekmy!"
Jingjing didn't get any honey, but she got a good rub, so much so that she felt like the bear fur on her forehead was about to shave off!
Little Blue was even worse off. She was surrounded by seven or eight bear cubs, all vying for the crystal honey pot in her hand, leaving Little Blue both amused and exasperated, yet unable to shake them off.
Finally, she simply smeared the crystal honey on Fatty's toes.
Make Jigglypuff inflate and fly at low altitude.
then...
In the bear's fighting arena, this scene unfolded:
The round, swollen chubby creature flew around haphazardly, its pink feet dripping sticky honey.
Behind it, a group of bear cubs were chasing after it, making a lot of noise and raising clouds of dust. This terrified Fatty, who was afraid that the bear cubs would grab its toes and bite them!
"Pfft, pfft!"
Jigglypuff looked at its trainer, Blue, with a pleading look.
But Xiao Lan was chatting with Ze Shu, and just smiled and gave it a thumbs-up.
This made Jigglypuff cry!
This trainer... has definitely gone astray! Absolutely!
"Little Dingding has gotten too fat lately, this is a good opportunity for him to lose some weight." Little Blue watched this scene with a grin, holding the curious fiery red Vulpix in her arms, and then gave Fatty a thumbs-up. "See, the training is going very well!"
Ze Shu looked at it and said, "It doesn't feel like enough... I have a wristband here, maybe I can tie some stones to it and then tie it to Fatty's feet to increase the intensity of its training..."
Jigglypuff, being chased by the chubby bear, suddenly turned around upon hearing this.
Its chubby pink face was full of the expression of seeing a "demon".
Listen to this! Is this human language?! Is this what a normal trainer would say?! It wants to complain! It's that Ze Shu guy who corrupted Little Blue!
"Pfft pfft pfft!!"
But Jigglypuff was still being chased.
The bears' fighting arena continued to be filled with billowing dust.
And the number of bear cubs chasing after them is increasing—all the bear cubs that have finished their share of Crystal Honey have joined the chase for Jigglypuff.
The Moon Bear squatted on the edge, watching this scene with envy, its eyes seeming to gleam with memories, as if it wanted to join in the joyful moment of the past.
Then it lowered its head and stared blankly at its burly body covered in scars.
"What's wrong?"
"Is there not enough honey to go around?"
Ze Shu walked over to it and sat down beside it.
Heyue Xiong shook his head.
It simply felt that ever since it left this place and wandered to Beishang Township, this hometown that it had always missed so much, it was now able to return.
Returning to this "authentic" hometown from my childhood, I no longer know what to do.
It couldn't even tell which of the bear cubs was itself when it was a cub, just by looking.
Perhaps I was just an ordinary, happy person back then.
It recalled blurry images from its childhood.
He looked again at his body, crisscrossed with scars.
It seems that when Ze Shu first came to the bear arena as a child, there was also a big guy sitting blankly on the edge, watching them play.
Only now do I realize that this strange "big guy"... is actually myself.
"Ugh..."
Ze Shu blinked when he saw He Yue Xiong's condition.
What is this...?
Is it the melancholy of returning home? Or is it just being idle and having too much time on my hands?
That's something that needs to be adjusted by the philosophical He Yuexiong himself, who's prone to wild thoughts.
Ze Shu sat beside it, slowly observing the environment of the bear's fighting arena.
The bear population this month is quite large, with over twenty cubs alone—of course, this should be all of them; no cub can resist the allure of the "technological and ruthless" crystal honey.
They live off the haystacks here, picking tree fruits when they are hungry and collecting the crystal honey painstakingly made by the bees when they are thirsty... It looks like a paradise on earth.
-Yeah, but the three bees don't think so.
Ze Shu was thinking.
But then they saw the Moon Bear, whom they had previously defeated, arrive in front of Ze Shu with three Circle Bears.
"roar!!"
"Want to...have a match?"
Ze Shu glanced at the He Yue Bear beside him, thought for a moment, and understood what they meant.
"You've acknowledged Heyue as one of your own, successfully 'recognizing your ancestry,' and then, because of the 'clan rules'—whoever is the strongest is the leader—you want to have a contest to determine who the leader is?"
He looked at the three eager-looking circle bears behind Moon Bear with a strange gaze.
His Moon Bear could easily defeat even the only Moon Bear in your clan, so your Circle Bear is just here to be delivered to your death, no matter how many there are.
Ze Shu glanced at He Yue Xiong beside him, whose eyes were filled with confidence as he faced the battle.
"or..."
"You all come at me together?"
Ze Shu's words are tantamount to saying, "I'm not targeting anyone in particular, but all three of you circle bears are trash."
The Circular Bear, known for its volatile temper, was understandably furious.
Who are they?
They are the strongest, most powerful, and most robust circle bears in their species!
Then, just three minutes later.
The blood-red moon descended, and a loud "bang" like shattering glass rang out. Three grizzly bears collapsed to the ground with a "thud," one of them with its pink tongue still sticking out of its mouth, looking like it had been beaten unconscious and had just been neutered.
Opposite them, the Moon Bear looked helpless, as if the battle was over before it had even warmed up.
This made it somewhat bored, so it sat back down next to Ze Shu, reverting to its previous melancholy expression because its return home didn't match its expectations.
The Moon Bear, watching from the sidelines, revealed a human-like expression of helplessness.
In that case...
The "leader" has been decided.
Although the moon bears are "outsiders," they don't care about such things. As long as they are moon bears/circle bears/bear cubs, they can be the "boss."
So, Moon Bear shakily took out a black charcoal block and handed this symbol of its leader to Moon Bear. The three Circle Bears, who had just gotten up, stood by, looking utterly defeated, accepting this reality.
But Heyue Xiong looked disgusted.
It knew this thing; it was peat moss, which could allow Ursaring to evolve into Umbreon on a full moon night.
But what good is that to it? It's already evolved!
Heyue Xiong handed the coal block in his hand to Ze Shu and let out a listless roar.
Ze Shu tossed the coal back into Moon Bear's arms. "We still have some of this, and this 'boss' position... He Yue doesn't seem to want to stay here for long, so..."
Heyue Xiong nodded repeatedly.
After transforming into its "Heyue" form, it can no longer lay eggs and sometimes prefers to be alone with another bear.
Even in the Everlasting Forest, aside from angering those who disturb its territory, this homebody bear isn't actually that aggressive.
Otherwise, given its strength, its title in the outside world wouldn't be "the raging creature of the Eternal Forest," but rather "the overlord of the Eternal Forest," or even "the destroyer of the northern countryside."
On the other side, Moon Bear was completely dumbfounded.
So, does this mean he's refusing the "top dog" position?
That's outrageous!
If that's the case, then they won't have a leader!
After all, it and the three circle bears had all lost. Even if this moon bear didn't become the leader, they would never have the audacity to call themselves the "leader" again; it would be a disgrace.
Unless they come back victorious in the future, but given the current disparity in strength...
The monthly bear does not hold out any hope.
It was trying to offer some advice.
At this time.
"Sawaki!"
"Outside, there's danger!"
The ground suddenly began to tremble slightly, and the group of bear cubs chasing Fatty were all startled. They then skillfully scattered and hid in the haystacks inside the bear arena.
"Puff puff puff—"
The bear cubs had all run away, but Jigglypuff didn't notice and continued to frantically fly around the bear arena, putting on a "panel performance."
Immediately, as it flew erratically through the air, it was struck by a clump of brown mud in the distance!
There was a "plop" sound.
Fatty was covered in mud, his little feet trembling, his chubby face full of helplessness.
"You idiot, come back here!" Little Blue shouted.
"Pupu Ting-i—"
Fatty quickly returned, and then, as it charged back, it splashed mud all over Little Blue.
Little Blue: "!!!"
She stared blankly at her soiled clothes and her beloved earrings, feeling extremely distressed, especially since she had been "guiding" him for a long time before that blockhead Ze Shu belatedly "sponsored" the earrings!
But how could he vent his anger on his poor little chubby boy?
Little Blue Whirlwind was about to glare angrily at the direction from which the tremor had come.
Tires that looked like they were made of steel rolled over from a distance.
"What kind of Pokémon is this?"
Xiao Lan stared in confusion at the dozen or so steel tires.
And all these tires arrived at the bear's arena.
Then a heavy "thud" was heard.
They all stopped abruptly, then lay horizontally, their extremely heavy tires slamming onto the ground, causing the ground to tremble violently and dust to billow up.
Little Blue only saw the largest tire at the very front, and then a sticky, tentacled, pinkish-purple head emerged from it.
He gave them a gloomy look, or rather, he looked at the teddy bears.
Huo Xia, who had just warned Ze Shu about the danger, glared and said:
"They're clingy girls..."
"In the southern part of Crimson Wetlands, there are two very powerful groups that have troubled many people and Pokémon... One is the Ursarings in the Ursaring Arena, and the other is the Goody group that inhabits the Trial Sands."
Ze Shu looked at the largest of the two, the one with the most obvious hostile expression:
"Are there enemies between their two groups?"
Moreover, judging from the bear cubs' skillful hiding movements, this has happened quite a few times already.
Huo Xia could only say, "I seem to have heard that they've had a few clashes..."
At this time.
Moon Bear and three other Circle Bears, who had just been defeated and were panting, had already gone to meet them. Many other Circle Bears, who were in slightly worse shape, had also arrived from the surrounding area. They seemed to be quite adept at dealing with this situation.
There was no shouting or provocation between the two sides; they went straight into a real fight!
It was as if this group of sticky girls had come here.
It's all about fighting!
Ze Shu blinked.
The sounds of the circling bear slapping the steel shell of the sticky rabbit, the rolling sound of the sticky rabbit, and the spitting sound of mud were heard everywhere.
The leader, Nianmeier, which was much larger than its companions, roared angrily, making a sharp sound. Then it shrank its head, raised its huge steel shell, and rolled straight toward the three strong, round bears!
But these three circle bears had just been defeated by the moon bear, so how could they possibly cope with this enormous "steel tire"?
They all scattered and fled.
Then, Ze Shu saw the leader Nian Mei'er's tire rolling straight towards him!
"Get out of the way! Sawaki! This attack..."
Huo Xia cried out in alarm.
If a human were to be crushed by such a huge Goome rolling around, being turned into a pulp would not be an exaggeration!
But when faced with the leader Nianmei'er's rolling attack, Zeshu only slightly turned his body to dodge the attack, but that was not enough to avoid it. Just as Huoxia was about to put her heart in her throat, she saw a scene that left her speechless.
Ze Shu made a strange move. He reached out and grabbed the steel shell that was rolling towards him. With precision and speed, he pulled out a pinkish-purple head from the rapidly rolling steel shell!
then.
He grabbed the sticky head that he had pulled out of the shell...::
They even made a throwing motion!
Huoxia: 0v0.
"ah?!"
Is this...this...is this even human?!
"Wahahaha—"
"I, Queen Higanbana, am back! Hmph, even though Zeju made Gengar stay behind to guide me, I won't let go of those thoughts I had earlier! At the very least, I won't give up Psyduck's Orange Berry...:"
"?!"
"Why is it so chaotic here? Are two different Pokémon fighting?"
"besides...
On the outskirts of the chaotic battle among the Pokémon.
Higana stared blankly at the steel tire that was trembling in the air and being flung toward her.
"What is this....?"
Why does it look like it's about to hit me?
