Chapter 225 Do you know me?
"You...know me?"
After scrutinizing the Moon Bear in its Moon Form, which had abruptly stopped and was walking angrily, its expression shifting between dazed and confused, Ze Shu hesitated for a moment before asking this question.
The Moon Bear pleased the God of Proof, and nodded its fierce-looking bear head.
Higana, who was hiding behind Zeshu in a huff, poked her head out when she saw this scene.
"Seriously! Ze Shu, you actually know this bear?! And you even let it chase me! You...you're shameless, you're utterly wicked!"
Detective Higanbana has discovered the truth!
Why did this bear, who had been chasing her so diligently and angrily before, inexplicably stop in his angry steps in front of Ze Shu?
It's because Ze Shu knows this bear!
The villainous Zeki secretly "cooperates" with the bear, causing her to be chased. This way, Zeki can witness her panicked, desperate escape, making her look foolish!
"Yes, that's it!"
This "truth" that emerged from Higana's mind.
This perfectly matches Higana's stereotype of the villainous Sawaki!
Moreover, she knew that Ze Shu had been to Beishang Township once before, and it was probably then that he met this bear. The evidence was completely consistent!
"Seriously!"
Thinking of this, Xijiana breathed a sigh of relief, then put on a stern face, ran out from behind Ze Shu, quickly walked to the Moon Bear's side, and vigorously patted its thick fur, muttering angrily with each pat:
"You and Ze Shu tried to sabotage me! You chased me! We're clearly on the same side! How dare you chase me!"
"roar!!!"
"Aaaaaah, why are you being so fierce?!"
Higana narrowly avoided the Moon Bear's savage claws, and in a panic, she created some distance before calling out to the Moon Bear in a trembling voice.
Ze Shu blinked, not understanding why Xi Jiana was suddenly so bold as to provoke Yueyue Xiong.
He looked at Moon Bear, who was now looking at him with a clearer expression, and said:
"But you say you know me, but I...: I probably don't know you at all."
"And you called me..."
"Boss?"
Ze Shu frowned. He had thought it was going to be a battle, but the Moon Bear's reaction was beyond his expectations.
He searched through all his memories and was certain that he had never seen this Ursaring in the Pokémon world.
But why did this Moon Bear so firmly say that it knew him? And why did it call him "boss"?
So when exactly did they meet?
"Roar One—"
Moon Bear suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Its thick buttocks made a "thud," kicking up a lot of mud and dust, before letting out a low, mournful roar.
However, it was aware that Ze Shu didn't recognize it.
After all, at that time it was just a cub in the mudflats of the bear cubs, longing for honey and the sea.
After all these centuries, it's only natural that Ze Shu wouldn't remember it.
Moreover, its appearance has changed so much.
With a low growl, the burly, ferocious Heyueyue Bear rubbed its scarred left eye, and the crimson moon on its forehead dimmed slightly. It became dejected, like a burly child weighing seven or eight hundred pounds who could swallow people whole but was crying.
Ze Shumei looked at it, as if she had sensed something:
"...Yes, several hundred years ago?"
"roar..."
The moon bear's eyes are slightly bright.
"The peat terraces of Honglian Wetlands?"
"roar!"
Moon Bear was pleasantly surprised.
Could it be that Boss Zeshu has remembered it?!
Ze Shu couldn't recall it, but he felt like he had guessed the truth.
It is a green wash.
It seems that Xi Cui, who lived hundreds of years ago, has some connection with the Moon Bear in front of him.
He even became the...leader of their tribe?
Now, after all the changes of time, this "bear cub" that traveled across the ocean from ancient Sinnoh to Kitakami Village, Sawaki doesn't know what it went through, but in the past few hundred years, it has become this scarred creature covered in scars.
It recognized him at that moment and called him "boss".
Unfortunately, Ze Shu doesn't actually recognize this Moon Bear.
Perhaps in the future, when he goes to Xicui at some point, he will form a bond with this Moon Bear.
"and you....""
He intended to tell the truth.
But then the Moon Bear suddenly looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Roar, roar!"
Moonbear made a request.
"You said...you want to go back to your hometown and take a look?"
"roar!"
Moonbear nodded its head in a silly manner, then looked around at the surrounding eternal forest, appearing slightly lost in thought.
Having crossed the ocean and arrived in this unfamiliar territory, it has evolved into this heavy form, losing the skill it had honed to be able to swim continuously, unlike its former small size that allowed it to swim freely in the ocean.
Even returning to one's birthplace seems like a luxury.
Now I see Zeshu.
It suddenly had this idea again, wanting to see what the peat terraces looked like now.
"Going back to your hometown? Do you mean going back to Xicui...?::"
Ze Shu's connection to the fact that the Moon Bear came from Xi Cui was clearly a misunderstanding.
"roar!!"
But the Gloomy Bear nodded vigorously—after all, it didn't understand that in this era, the "Washing Green" region had long been renamed the "Sinnoh" region.
This made Ze Shu think about his Arceus phone, which was already fully charged and ready to go back at any time, but which he had never paid attention to. Since unlocking the "feeding" function, he had only occasionally fed a lot of supplies to his "apprentice" Xiao Zhao, who was far away in Xicui.
Because Ma Jiamu, whom he had beaten, hadn't caused any trouble or tried to frame Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Zhao was developing well, Ze Shu didn't have an urgent need to wash the jade in Padiya, and kept putting it off. Now that he thought about it, he really did need to go wash the jade again.
Not only this month's Ursaring, but also Arcanine's "revenge" has made it even more enthusiastic about training after its evolution. It can't wait to use Flare Blitz and Double Headbutt to crush that Dracovish in its grave and beat it to a pulp.
After pondering for a moment, Ze Shu nodded under the hopeful gaze of the Moon Bear.
I promise you.
"Roar roar roar!!!"
Seeing that Ze Shu had agreed to his long-cherished wish of a hundred years, Yueyue Bear roared excitedly.
"Seriously! As expected, Zeki, you teamed up with Yueyuexiong to see what I'd do!"
As Moonbear arrived at its cave in the Everlasting Forest, licking the sweet honey it offered, by the flickering campfire, Higana angrily spoke to Zeshu.
Ze Shu was helpless; what could he say?
After all, the fierce Ursaring on the side, with its belly facing up, where Pokémon could play, had just been calling him "boss."
"oh."
"Oh? Oh?!" Higana's face flushed red, clearly quite dissatisfied with Ze Shu's mere "oh" in response.
What do you mean by that? I left! I really left! I was chased like a madman!
Ze Shu gazed at the flickering campfire, casually uttered an "Oh," before finally speaking the truth:
"Higana, is it something strange that you're doing this?"
Higanbana: "!!!"
She glared angrily at Ze Shu.
But there was nothing they could do about Ze Shu.
After all, Ze Shu was well aware of the brute strength that allowed her to throw "Winged King" over her shoulder while he was munching on oranges by the campfire.
She simply turned her head away, huffed, and sulked.
"If you're still angry and need to vent, then..."
Ze Shu pointed with a barbecue skewer of grapefruit at the distance of the cave, where the dozen or so Plasma Team members were trapped tightly.
Road:
"Perhaps we can kick them a few times, since it seems like they're planning to escape."
Higana suddenly stood up and said angrily:
"good!"
"Wow, wow, wow—I'll show you what I'm capable of!"
The plasma team members, who had finally managed to wake up: ? ? ?
Hearing the screams of the plasma team members, Ze Shu pulled Liuwei by the scruff of his neck from the belly of the Moon Bear and dragged it up to his face, holding it by its arms and legs.
"Look at the way you eat."
"Ou Ming..."
Because Moonbear shared all the honey it had stored at the bottom of its den—the result of its hard work collecting honey from the three bees in the Eternal Forest—Sixtail was eating with great relish, its little paws, mouth, chin, and even tail covered in sticky honey.
In other words: their behavior was extremely unseemly.
Under the bewildered gaze of Rokuro, Sawaki took out a towel.
After Psyduck, which was holding a honey-covered Orange Berry, splashed some water onto the face, it vigorously scrubbed Six-Tails' cute face like it was taking a bath, making Six-Tails whimper and howl.
"Ou, Ou Ming..."
"Learn from Orinoa from now on; look how ladylike it is when it eats!"
"Ooh-ooh-ooh~"
Out of the corner of his eye, Liuwei saw Orion sitting on the side away from the campfire, obediently munching on a tree fruit.
I wanted to learn from Ze Shu's ladylike eating manners, as he suggested.
But after only a few seconds, its gaze was drawn to the two plump olives on Orion's forehead, which resembled hairpins.
Thanks to the excellent diet of the swamp tree, these olives are round, plump, and smooth, looking delicious.
"Ooh-hoo~~~"
The 'determination' of Rokuro to study seriously slowly flowed down from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Ze Shu became even more "wolf-like":
"You! Those olives are where Orion stores nutrients for its growth; you'd better not try to eat them."
"We'll have to wait for Orino to evolve before we can eat it."
Six-Tails closed its eyes in frustration: "Ooh... Ooh!"
It only glanced at it, so why would the trainer know what it was thinking?
Ze Shu sneered: "Heh."
As the Pokémon he hatched from the egg, even just by looking at Vulpix's wagging tail, Zeju knew what this guy was thinking.
Not long after, after scrubbing the Six-Tails clean until it was spotless, Ze Shu placed the brand-new creature by the campfire and chained it. Just then, he saw Xi Jiana returning from her venting session and asked, "Are you done being angry?"
Higana said smugly, "Hmph! None of those Plasma Team members can even breathe right now!"
Vertical day.
A thin mist hung over the Eternal Forest. Stepping through this mist, Ze Shu and the others escorted Team Plasma, including Vio, a total of thirteen people, back to Emerald Town. Well, although it was said that Ze Shu and the others were escorting them, in reality, the majority of the escort was carried by "Wing King," who had eaten and drunk his fill the night before.
The upright Gulliver carried nine people!
Stacked together, they were quite a sight.
Because of this, when Ze Shu returned to Emerald Town, it was as if he were escorting a prisoner, attracting the attention and pointing fingers of many Emerald Town residents. Of course, the targets of the pointing fingers were the Plasma Team.
The bald administrator of the "Muramasa" came to "welcome" the team early in the morning with a cheerful expression.
Now he stood at the front and shouted:
"See that?! These are criminals who want to harm our Beishang Township, even more so than the three Pokémon! They actually want to destroy our Beishang Township!"
"Fellow villagers, remember the clothes they're wearing. From now on, if we see one, we'll make sure they get out of Beishang Township!"
"They're called the Plasma Team!"
"We must never let these men who threaten our lives set foot in Beishang Township again!!"
The bald-headed administrator shouted with a beaming smile.
These leeches who leeched off their northern village were finally dealt with under the wise leadership of this "village head." Now, this family genealogy will have to be recorded separately under his name!
Ze Shu glanced at him but didn't say anything.
The crowd was filled with angry shouts and curses.
Yes, mostly.
"Lord Vio?!!"
"How could he... how could he... and everyone else...?"
Ze Shu looked toward the source of the sound and saw that it was the three people he had met before—N and his sworn sister and sworn sister.
The exclamation just now came from "Sister"—Barbena, who is known as the "Goddess of Love" in the Plasma Team.
N remained silent, gazing in this direction.
"Your Majesty, what should we do!"
"Lord Vio, the Seven Sages, how could he... be arrested... Your Majesty... Should we rescue him... or... inform Father..."
See here.
Ze Shu walked straight towards them in the crowd, and under their wary gazes, asked directly, "Are you members of Team Plasma?"
"Peace Goddess" Helena mustered her courage yet answered cautiously:
"...Yes, yes! Why did you arrest Lord Vio?! Why did you say Team Plasma was going to destroy Kitakami Village?! We were just here for sightseeing!"
But Ze Shu didn't answer so many of her questions.
He only stated, "The Plasma Team is suspected of committing crimes against society and has now been arrested by me."
"And you—"
"Since you admit to being a member of Team Plasma, you're an accomplice. Come with us."
Ze Shu waved his hand.
With nine people on his back, Gu Leton threw the stack of plasma team members to the ground with a few "thuds," then walked over like a henchman, rubbing his hands together, "Agas—"
Barbena, the "Goddess of Love," and Holina, the "Goddess of Peace," stared in astonishment, their mouths agape.
"???"
N was also taken aback by Ze Shu's direct arrest, and his expression froze.
Although N is the "protagonist" and the only idealist in Team Plasma who may genuinely want to "liberate Pokémon," he is deceived and controlled by Ghetsis, the true controller of Team Plasma.
But Ze Shu will not show any mercy.
An accomplice is an accomplice; arrest them first and then deal with the rest.
"What, you want to resist the Alliance's arrest?"
Ze Shu looked at the three people who were on guard and spoke slowly.
Barbena and Holena glanced at Guleton, whose muscles were bulging, his hands were clenched, and his face was fierce. They both swallowed hard. If even Lord Vio and more than a dozen plasma team members couldn't beat him, how could the three of them, who had no combat ability, possibly win?
"What, what should we do, Your Majesty?"
