Chapter 187 The Treasure Master of the Rock Wall: That's too much!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Whoosh...whoosh!"
It truly lives up to its reputation as a mythical Pokémon.
Just after being struck from behind by Ze Shu's heavy, iron-like ball, the Roaring Tail woke up in no time. It struggled wildly from Ze Shu's grip, cursing in a foul language.
Unfortunately, no matter how foul its curses were or how strong its desire to struggle was, the howling tail could not break free from the hand that was gripping it.
Tears welled in its bright golden eyes, a mixture of anger and rage. Its wild, round face turned red with anger, and it continued to hurl profanities.
What a low-class fat guy.
Dr. Orin, listening to these incredibly vulgar words, said somewhat awkwardly:
"The paradoxical Pokémon I've raised in the past... were all so wild and untamed... I often struggled with that..."
Melok shouted, "Sawaki...Teacher! This guy who knocked my Tanjiro unconscious is still stubborn. Let's kill him! At the very least, we should punish him!"
Ze Shu responded with an interested "Oh," and asked, "How do you want to kill him? Or what kind of punishment?"
Upon hearing this question, Melo hesitated for a moment. She had only shouted it out in anger; as for the specific punishment... she thought for a moment and said hesitantly:
We can tie this Jigglypuff to Pluroo—this Pokémon has boundless energy, like a car engine. With Jigglypuff strapped to the back, it can roll around like a tattered sack while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Padonia!
"Yes! That's it! The exhaust fumes released while the car is moving are highly toxic. While this Jigglypuff is enjoying the beautiful scenery of Parthia, it can also taste the exhaust fumes!"
"My Torkoal can also add gas to Purlron, making it even faster!"
"Sawaki-sensei, let's do it this way!"
Meloko was hesitant at first, but the more she spoke, the more excited she became.
Is this the awakening of the biker gang gene deep within them?
However, she became more and more familiar with calling him "teacher" and expressed her sincere admiration for him.
After Melok finished speaking, the swearing and cursing of the roaring tail seemed to quiet down a bit. Its golden eyes stared blankly at Melok—it was clearly daytime, how could this woman say such cold and cruel words?
Ze Shu nodded as if agreeing with Melok's words, then added, "That's not enough. How can we let this chubby only experience the beauty of the ground? We can also tie some heavy stones to it and let it experience what it's like to 'jump from a high place' or 'the deep sea.'"
"Whoosh?!"
After Zeshu finished speaking, the swearing of Roaring Tail stopped completely.
Its bright golden eyes turned to look at Ze Shu in disbelief—don't think it doesn't understand. What do you mean by "dancing" and "deep sea"? Isn't this just a way of throwing it from a high place and drowning it in a pig cage?
It submits, it submits, isn't that enough?
The roaring tail lowered its unruly head in grievance.
"Oh?" Ze Shu looked down at it. "You're willing to follow orders?"
The roaring tail tilted its head back, appearing reluctant.
"Whoosh!"
If it doesn't obey orders, it'll be drowned in a pig cage. Unlike that stupid red lizard in Zone Zero, it insists on enduring all kinds of hardship. Its roaring tail knows when to be pragmatic!
"But you seem very unwilling..." Ze Shu pondered, "How about we punish you and then throw you back into Zone Zero?"
After all, the song of that roaring tail is truly terrifying. If it were kept by your side and could start singing at any time, it would be like a sudden and wide-ranging indiscriminate psychological attack nuclear bomb.
Roaring Tail: "Roar??"
It's willing to submit, and you still don't want to accept it?!
As the leader of the Howling Tail group in Zone Zero, whose singing was the "most beautiful," Howling Tail had always been proud of this—it had never suffered such an injustice.
Its roaring tail immediately puffed up its cheeks, but it didn't make a move, since it couldn't win.
"Hohoho?!"
The roaring tail started to reason.
If it can be allowed to "sing its heart out," then it will completely submit to Ze Shu! After all, that was its purpose in coming out of Zone Zero.
Ze Shu chuckled.
It wanted to unleash its full vocal power, as if the chaos it had created wasn't enough. Zeshu had initially thought it would be fine to find a secluded spot for it to sing its heart out, but then Roaring Tail added a condition:
There needs to be an audience!
And those 'small fry' audience members who fainted as soon as it started singing along the way are no good either!
The requirements are quite high.
Ze Shu did not agree to the self-satisfied Howling Tail's request. Seeing that it resisted going into the Poké Ball, Ze Shu did not force it. Instead, he asked Xiao Lan for a rope and tied the Howling Tail's feet together, binding it like a helium balloon.
Then, he looked at the "minor fry" beside him, pointing to Higana.
She had achieved great success in the suicide mission during the Dragon God's dive, but she had also clearly become a casualty in the roaring tail's mouth, and had fallen unconscious.
Her Salamence was also unconscious, its tongue lolling out of its mouth, looking like a burnt-out husky.
The leader-sized Leccat had just been released by Zeshu, who transported Xijiana onto its back, and the situation here was easily resolved.
"As for this watchtower, the Parthian Alliance shouldn't make us pay compensation, right?"
Officer Jenny quickly shook her head and said, "No, definitely not! The League is too busy rewarding you to even think about it!"
"You guys are truly amazing for arresting this guy who's been troubling the alliance and our police department for days!"
"It was just a coincidence; luck played a big part."
Ze Shu shook his head, declining Officer Jenny's praise of being "amazing".
He then turned to Higana and said:
"As for the commendation, let's commend this great contributor. The bigger, brighter, and more eye-catching the certificate, the better, and the more straightforward the praise, the better. That's what she likes."
Miss Officer Jenny blinked and said, "Okay! I've received all your requests! I'll fulfill them all!"
Returning along the same route, the bodies scattered around, unconscious due to the roaring tail song, still needed to be dealt with, but that was no longer Sawaki and the others' responsibility; Officer Jenny would handle it.
only...
"The Lord of the Rock Wall has disappeared?!"
Returning to the spot where the police pickup truck had braked suddenly, the giant crab that should have been lying in the middle of the road had vanished, leaving only a large crater where it had crashed down from the cliff.
Miss Officer Jenny paused for a moment.
"above."
Upon hearing Ze Shu's reminder, Jun Sha immediately looked up, only to suddenly meet a pair of large, watery eyes that were constantly moving on the brown cliff face—this reminded Jun Sha of the words she had mentioned in the car that circulated in the South Third District.
"Danger!"
"This is a signal that the Rock Wall Treasure is about to attack!"
Officer Jenny shouted.
She didn't even have time to think about why the Rock Wall Master woke up so quickly, when Pokémon that had been attacked by Roar Tail usually slept for three or four days.
Could it be that this "treasure owner" is special?!
But as she shouted, the rock wall treasure, which was upside down on the cliff, suddenly moved. It waved its only remaining crab claw, making a "crunching" sound, and its eyes flashed with a light called "anger" before it attacked fiercely!
The crab claws gleamed with a metallic light; this was the "Metal Claw" move.
The attack wasn't aimed at Officer Jenny, but at Roaring Tail, which was being pulled along like a balloon by Sawaki. If this attack hit, it certainly wouldn't just injure Roaring Tail.
The mouth can also have elemental advantages and disadvantages.
Seeing this, the roaring tail that Ze Shu was holding reacted quickly, opening its mouth wide, ready to retaliate.
but.
"Don't say a word!"
Ze Shu quickly pinched its open mouth, turning its about-to-singing roar into a round, red balloon. Its song was practically a weapon of choice; surrounded by allies, there was no room for it to sing.
And on the side.
"Blastoise, Water Cannon!"
Facing the single-claw attack from the Rock Wall Master, which resembled Yang Guo descending the mountain, Xiao Lan immediately shouted. The Blastoise Black Steel Cannon she summoned suddenly stood upright, its barrel gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and a torrent of water gushed out from it!
Crabtree is classified as an "ambush Pokémon," typically attacking upside down on cliff faces, meaning its direct combat ability is relatively weak. While this rock-climbing Pokémon's armor is tough enough, the gaps between its shells are numerous and large, making it vulnerable to powerful water cannon attacks—described by its base stats: Defense 115, Special Defense 55.
Moreover, water cannons are extremely effective.
But then there was a "poof" sound.
The water cannon fired, and the rock wall's downward momentum suddenly vanished. After a brief standoff with the water cannon coming from below, it was blasted away with a "poof".
Then I heard a "whoosh".
The treasure of the rock wall was smashed onto the brown earth not far away, lying on its back like a crab's belly.
It was soaking wet, and the single pincer that had been using its metal claw inexplicably swung around in a wide arc due to the impact, slamming into its head with a "clang," making it look even more bewildered and confused.
But it is also a battle-hardened and quite dangerous treasure.
After being stunned for a moment, it roared angrily, and its six crab legs made a "crunching" sound as it struggled, trying to turn its belly over before launching a fierce attack on that annoying person!
However.
All that could be heard was a clear, melodious laugh, and a freezing wind swept by. The Rock Wall Master felt its body growing colder and colder, especially since it had been drenched by the water cannon earlier, making it even colder. This caused a shiver and fear to rise in its heart for no reason.
But soon, it no longer needed to be afraid.
Because it was frozen, frozen into a giant ice sculpture of a crab.
Officer Jenny, who had just been attacked, watched this scene in shock. Two Pokémon, in just two moves, had defeated the villainous Rock Wall Pokémon. It was truly astonishing.
However, Officer Jenny then thought of Ze Shu's identity and naturally felt relieved.
"This rock wall monster used to attack pedestrians in the southern third district, and now it's finally learned its lesson!"
Ze Shu lightly high-fived the Snow Fairy who floated back like a ghost, then gently rubbed her charmingly smiling face before looking at the distant crab ice sculpture and saying:
"So, this Rock Wall Treasure Lord often harms people?"
Officer Jenny said, "Yes, there are at least sixty recorded cases of injuries inflicted by the Rock Wall Master. It ambushes trainers from the rock walls. Trainers who are ambushed by it will have all their belongings stripped off and will suffer considerable injuries."
"But perhaps it is also careful not to cause any deaths. So the alliance has not dealt with it until now, but has only set up emergency rescue teams nearby."
Ze Shu understood and said, "Since that's the case..."
From a certain perspective, when Pokémon injure people in the wild, it's simply the law of the wild, and it seems one can't entirely blame the Pokémon owner of the rock wall. After all, it's common for trainers to get injured without anyone dying.
But this rock wall master attacked him!
Ze Shu chose to seek revenge on the spot in a sustainable manner.
He walked to the ice sculpture and slowly looked at the giant crab claw of the rock wall treasure, which was twisted at an angle. The fact that the metal claw's large swing could hit its head meant that the crab claw was not far from completely falling off.
"Help it down," Ze Shu said with a smile.
As the ice gradually melted, the Rock Wall Master's rolling eyes were once again exposed to the air. But before it could even feel relieved, there was another "crack" sound, and the Rock Wall Master's remaining delicious crab claw was completely removed, leaving it a crab without claws, with only six crab legs moving dazedly.
Rock Wall Treasure Master: Three [。。] Three Its bulging crab eyes rolled around, staring blankly at its "empty" upper limb, its eyes filled with confusion.
Ze Shu picked up its enormous crab claw, then took out its other claw, which he had picked up along the way, from his spatial backpack. He held them both up, gesturing a couple of times in front of their owner, before saying:
"This is your punishment for attacking me. Do you accept it?"
The treasure lord of the rock wall: "?"
You took my pliers away and then asked me if I wanted them back?
I said I don't accept it, so do you think you can give it back?
Seeing that the crab was only confused and did not respond, Ze Shu did not mind. He smiled and said, "By the way, your claws will grow back, right?"
Could you tell me exactly when your forceps will have fully grown? I'll come back to pick them up then.
The treasure lord of the rock wall: "???"
It paused for a moment, then felt a surge of anger:
What do you mean? Tell me what you mean by this!
That's going too far!
At this moment, Ze Shu's smile seemed like a demon to the Rock Wall Treasure Lord. It felt that even the most cunning bluffing demon was not as hateful as this human!
Ze Shu said matter-of-factly, "That's sustainable development!"
First, Meloko, who seemed dazed and recalled the terrifying rumor on the way, was sent back to the Orange Academy's infirmary by Ze Shu so easily. Her little servant had fainted from the terrible death song of the roaring tail and could recover with rest.
Back to the cafe in Little Key Town.
First, throw Xijiana back into her room and let her sleep for a hundred or eighty days.
On the central table of the café, the spoils of war—two pairs of crab claws belonging to the Rock Lord—are displayed.
Peony's mouth dropped open: "These...these...these two huge hairy crab claws...how...how did you hunt them...?"
The various Eevee creatures around her were all staring at the crab claw with wide eyes.
Xiao Lan grinned and said, "Ze Shu killed him!"
Upon hearing this, the young blacksmith, who was also staring in astonishment at the crab claw, exclaimed "Wow!" and looked at Ze Shu, who had walked down the stairs with Xiao Lan, with admiration.
It wandered through the town, going to great lengths to "hunt" a plastic can from a trash can to use as material for forging the hammer.
And Ze Shu actually managed to hunt something this big?!
"Chirp chirp!!"
Peony said with distress, "But how do I cook such a big crab claw? I have no cooking experience, and just learning to make coffee is complicated enough."
Xiao Lan immediately said, "In that case, Mr. Fu, let me show you my skills!"
Zeqi: "???"
"You're awake? Good, you're the most promising of these new recruits..."
When Higana woke up from her coma, she heard this sentence.
"what?"
Higana responded with a bewildered "yes".
"Do you remember what happened before you fell into a coma?"
"I...I..." Higana blinked her eyes in confusion, barely able to speak, "That wretched Ze Shu pushed me to join the daredevil team to deal with that weird, fat guy, Fu, who sings terribly. Ugh, Fu's singing is awful!"
"Whoosh!"
A distant roar erupted in indignation.
Higana said in a daze, "I guess I'm still confused. How can I still hear that weird fat guy's awful voice?"
"Don't think about that one by one," Ze Shu shook his head slowly. "All you need to know now is that your mission was carried out extremely successfully."
Higana repeated incredulously, "The mission was a complete success?"
Ze Shu nodded and said, "Yes! I swear, Xi Jiana, you are the hero! You should be the first to eat this newly cooked spoils of war!"
He brought over a plate of crab claw meat, plump and firm, coated with an enticing, thick sauce.
Higana's eyes widened, her mind suddenly clearing. She exclaimed joyfully, "You're so kind? Ze Shu, do you feel guilty that you and I have suffered so much?"
Ze Shu said, "This delicious food was made by Xiao Lan."
Higana's expression froze: "Huh?!"
She recalled the first time she ate Xiao Lan's cooking, a memory she never wanted to recall.
Ze Shu smiled and said, "But the taste is unusually good, so enjoy it."
Xiao Lan muttered to herself, "That's certainly true! But using the word 'rare' to describe how good my cooking was..."
Isn't that a bit too insulting?
