Chapter 142 This lesson will teach it a lesson it won't forget; it will never dare to eat again!
Faced with Ze Shu's "invitation".
Articuno's unusually impatient nature.
Without even saying a word of agreement, it bent down and exposed its icy blue, translucent back to Ze Shu. Seeing that Ze Shu didn't move, it seemed afraid that Ze Shu wouldn't understand its meaning, and even leaned against Ze Shu's shoulder.
Ze Shu chuckled, "So you want me to ride you?"
The Articuno let out a cry that could not be denied.
"Are you so eager to take down the Rockets?"
"Sing..."
"But..." Ze Shu said, "not now!"
He gently pinched the Articuno's short beak and, seeing its bewildered expression, said, "What you should do now is recover your strength."
"Otherwise, in your current state, you can't even beat Lambda. If you foolishly fly straight to Team Rocket's base, that's not revenge..."
"That's called 'home delivery'!"
"Sound..."
The articulated bird let out a pitiful cry.
It's definitely not stupid...!
But at that moment, a loud rumble suddenly rang out in the cave, accompanied by scattered "thump" sounds and cracking sounds, and the entire frozen cave seemed to shake.
"This is.."
Ze Shu raised his eyebrows.
Kona, however, realized something and hurriedly shouted:
"The supporting ice wall inside the Frozen Cave has collapsed!"
"Because of the Team Rocket officer's suicide attack, the environment of the Frozen Cave was severely damaged, and this load-bearing ice wall must have given way, causing it to collapse!"
"Time is of the essence, we need to get out of here!"
Kona pursed her lips and quickly reminded her.
They were currently at the bottom of the Frozen Cavern. If it were to completely collapse, layers of rock and soil would crash down, posing an extremely dangerous situation. However, Kona had previously stated that the deepest part of this Frozen Cavern connected to the sea.
and so.
They didn't need to risk climbing back up the same path, which was a deadly route.
Even though there are "shortcuts".
We need to hurry, otherwise it will be too late.
"I know the location!" she said quickly.
"I'll lead the way, follow me!"
After saying this, Kona had the white sea lion protect her, and the white sea lion used its single horn to smash a trembling ice pillar that was falling down.
Then, as if skating, Kona smoothly glided Lapras along the path on one side of the cave.
The situation is urgent.
The Articuno chirped a clear call and bowed down to the Swamp Tree once more:
"Sound!"
Actually, it knows its location!
Ze Shu acted swiftly, collecting the Pokémon around him with Poké Balls. Amidst the continuous rumbling in the cave, he grabbed Lambda's collar with one hand, who was lying like a dead dog, and quickly reached out to Xiao Lan, who had finished cleaning up the scene on the other side.
"Little Blue! Come here!"
"I, this..."
Blue trembled, and her face turned pale as she looked at the Articuno so close to her.
This arthropod is very beautiful;
But the problem is that Articuno is too "pure"!
Little Lugia is alright, it's not really a bird; but this Articuno is way too bird-like, even though it understands the urgency of the situation.
But during the fog, Xiao Lan felt her mind go completely blank.
But very quickly, perhaps in less than a second, Xiao Lan realized—she couldn't do this!
Not only will I be buried here, but I'll also drag Ze Shu down with me...
She has to overcome it.
At least in times like these, we can't hold others back.
At that moment, Xiao Lan's face was deathly pale and her body was trembling.
But she also reached out her hand...
She kept hypnotizing herself:
"This is just a swamp tree. I only interacted with the swamp tree, not the bird. The swamp tree is not a bird..."
But suddenly, she felt a dizzying sensation, and a strong arm wrapped around her waist. Then, her outstretched, stiff hand grasped nothing, and instead...
It pierced straight into the pile of Articuno's feathers!
Xiao Lan didn't even notice the close contact between Ze Shu and her face, which was being hugged by Ze Shu and pressed against his chest.
She felt the cool, soft touch of the feathers in her hands, and her fingers clenched in fear, her face turning pale.
"Ugh!!!"
"Of course I know about your symptoms, Xiao Lan, but it wasn't an emergency..."
"So you just went ahead and forced yourself on me?!"
Kona's house.
Xiao Lan's face was deathly pale, and cold sweat almost soaked her clothes. After accepting the hot towel from Kona and thanking her in a trembling voice, she continued to look at Ze Shu with a pale face, making Ze Shu raise his hands in surrender.
"Then it's my fault."
Ze Shu raised his hands and said.
Xiao Lan's voice trembled, but she said, "Ze Shu is right!"
"and you.."
"It's okay, I just feel like I can... try to contact Articuno again, um, with you, Sawaki." Blue wiped her cold sweat with a towel and mustered her courage to say.
"Isn't this too risky? Perhaps..."
"No risks!"
Xiao Lan exclaimed, decisively putting down the towel and grabbing the bewildered Lugia playing with its toy. With its pale, almost glowing, white face raised, it continued to Ze Shu, "See? I'm not afraid of Lugia anymore! Little Lugia can't scare me at all!"
Little Blue held Lugia in his arms, forcing a "smug" expression on his face as he declared victory.
but.
"Your body is trembling even more!" Ze Shu said.
"No, no, I wasn't trembling..." Xiao Lan stubbornly insisted.
But she couldn't hold on any longer. With her head down, she threw the bewildered little Lugia back into Ze Shu's arms, then picked up the doll beside her and began to weep.
"So it really doesn't work..."
Her desire to overcome her ornithophobia had never been stronger than it was at this moment.
She didn't want to be a hindrance in this situation again, or for Ze Shu to "force himself on her."
"You don't have to get fat all at once," Ze Shu chuckled before saying, "Take it slow, I'll be with you, Xiao Lan."
Little Blue snorted, "You said it yourself!"
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Of course."
"Little Blue will definitely overcome her ornithophobia!"
"See, you've made progress! Little Blue, you dare to hug the Pidgey plushie now, you'll definitely be able to pet Articuno in the future."
And this time.
Xiao Lan then realized that the toy she had just grabbed was a Pidgey Bird toy.
It's a bird doll.
"Ugh!!!"
Kona's home, contrary to the outside world's perception of her as an "ice queen," is actually quite cute...
There are dolls everywhere here.
Pidgey, Eevee, Lapras, Slowpoke... you name it, they were everywhere, piled up all over the house.
"I have a habit of bringing some dolls and collectibles with me whenever I go out. Over time, my house has become like this." Kona, with her red hair, absentmindedly took off her glasses, wiped them, and then said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ice Eevee's eyes lit up.
It patted the shadow of the tree, summoned Gengar, and then took out a doll from Gengar's belly that was exactly the same as an Eevee doll in the room, its eyes sparkling as it shared it:
"Buyi!"
It also has a doll, which was a gift from Ze Shu!
Ibu loves this doll the most.
"Glass Eevee's eyes are shining as it calls out."
Although it also likes the old one, this new one is not bad either, after all, Ze Shu spent a lot of money on it!
At that time, Zeki had just come out of the Masked Base. In order to compensate for the doll that Glaceon lost, Zeki spent almost all of his wealth, 800 League Coins, to buy the doll from the doll shop in Sandstone Town.
Although it's only 800 League Coins, which is insignificant to Zeju now, Glaceon doesn't care how cheap 800 League Coins is in terms of purchasing power.
All Glaceon knew was that after Zeki bought it the plush toy, it spent a lot of money. Because of this plush toy, they were so poor that they were starving!
This is what Zeshu is willing to give for it; this is Zeshu's love for it.
For Ice Eevee, no other toy worth tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars can compare to the value symbolized by this Eevee plushie.
So when it saw Kona, who also loved toys, it shared this "trainer's love".
This is Glaceon's treasure.
So when it learned that Gengar's belly had a "storage" function, it put the Eevee doll inside Gengar's belly so that it could carry it with it.
Eevee's behavior inspired other Pokémon in the Pokémon world to follow suit, stuffing their belongings into Gengar's belly. Gengar doesn't know how to refuse, so it has practically become a storage machine for the Pokémon.
Occasionally, Zeju can also shake out Vulpix's little snacks from inside Gengar's belly!
"Buyi..."
Ze Shu was both amused and exasperated. He picked up Ice Eevee and rubbed its cute face.
Kona also covered her mouth and smiled:
"What an adorable Glaceon!"
"Oh, right, this is your first time visiting my home, I haven't entertained you yet."
Kona exclaimed "Ah!" and got up to walk into the kitchen. A moment later, she brought out a plate of crystal-clear, ice-like desserts.
The pastry, square in shape, gave Ze Shu the impression of being like crystal-clear rock candy.
"Little Eevee, please have some, this is frozen sugar cake!"
"This is my secret food that Ice-type Pokémon love!"
Glaceon let out a puzzled "bueee".
But it has not yet taken action.
A snow-white little fox, playing among the dolls, popped out with sparkling eyes, its little feet on the table, glistening tears at the corners of its mouth, curiously looking at the rock candy.
But it still had some manners; instead of rudely eating it right away, it called out:
"O-O-Ming?"
With this gesture, Lorelei didn't even need to understand the Pokémon's words to know what Vulpix wanted to say.
"Of course, this is for you. This is Vulpix from the Alola region, right? What an adorable Pokémon..."
"Ooh, oh my!"
But Vulpix didn't hear any of Lorelei's subsequent praise.
No sooner had Kona said "okay" than it swiftly grabbed a mouthful of rock candy and popped it into its mouth. Before Kona could finish speaking, it had already ate it with gusto, followed by a series of purring sounds that completely interrupted Kona's exclamation.
Yes, there are tutors, but not many.
Ze Shu was both amused and exasperated.
However, when he took a piece of rock candy and fed it to Glaceon, it received a positive review. Presumably, this "rock candy" made by Lorelei himself is a very delicious treat for Ice-type Pokémon.
"Why can't I make it...?"
This reminded Zeki of his "Zeki-like custom energy cube".
That's Pokémon food that only Psyduck can handle. Lorelei said, "If I'm not mistaken, you must be an Ice-type trainer like me, right? If you need some, I can give you some."
"This food is very beneficial for Ice-type Pokémon."
"People can be eaten too."
"You can try it too, Ze Shu, but it might be a bit cold, so you'll have to bear with it."
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Hearing Kona's words, he also took a piece of rock candy. But at that moment, a small pink dragon yawned and poked its head out from under Ze Shu's collar. After looking around, it immediately saw the rock candy in Ze Shu's hand.
"Chu mi..."
"You want to eat?" Ze Shu asked, looking at Kona with a questioning gaze.
And Kona was about to speak.
The shiny Dratini's eyes darted around.
Even if it doesn't eat it, it loves shiny things the most. Looking at the crystal-clear rock candy that looks like a gemstone, it, which is a bit sleepy during its growth period, can't resist.
It first turned its head to look at the table and confirmed: there was still a lot of rock candy.
Then he recalled what he had just heard the woman say—"This is what we're serving you."
It's also confirmed that we can eat it legitimately!
So, before Ze Shu could answer, its pink body unleashed remarkable strength and skill, leaping out of Ze Shu's chest with lightning speed, opening its little mouth, and pouncing on the rock candy!
Ah, a mouthful!
Under the strange gazes of Ze Shu and Kona.
It swallowed the icy-cold rock candy!
From the moment Dratini "confirmed" the operation to the moment it succeeded, only two or three seconds had passed.
That's quite a swift action!
Lorelei, however, spoke in a strange tone: "These frozen candies are enjoyable for Ice-type Pokémon, and humans can taste them even if they can't resist the initial coldness, but..."
"If it's a Pokémon that can't stand the Ice type, like this shiny pink Dratini."
"At once."
After saying that, Kona looked strangely at the dwarf dragon wriggling in Ze Shu's arms.
At this moment, the Dratini seemed to be inside a block of ice, its body trembling and struggling as it tried to generate heat through movement, but it could not reduce the spread of cold within its body.
It's actually getting colder!
The shiny Dratini was so cold that its eyes were filled with tears.
"Chu mi! Chu mi!"
Help! Help!
We're freezing to death!
Meeting Ze Shu's questioning gaze, Kona said apologetically:
"Nothing will happen, at most..."
"Shiny Dratini will suffer a little."
"Chu mi..."
This is no small amount of hardship...
The shiny Dratini twisted like a frozen cocoon.
Ze Shu chuckled and tapped its little head, saying:
"You've learned your lesson, haven't you?"
"Will you dare to eat whatever you want in the future?"
The shiny Dratini had no intention of answering at that moment.
Ze Shu could only rub its body with his warm palms to warm it up, which seemed to work a little. The little dragon followed Ze Shu's rubbing, or perhaps the "medicine" had worn off.
Gradually, its body stopped trembling.
Zeshu also seemed to sense something unusual about the palms he was kneading.
With a gentle rub, a thin pink film formed on the surface of the shiny Dratini. The shiny Dratini then let out a sound of ecstasy, its body writhing lightly, as if it were experiencing a complete climax after a period of respite.
"Chu mi~~"
"Is this... molting?"
Ze Shu was stunned for a moment.
Shouldn't it be another two weeks before the next molt of the dwarf dragon?
As he continued to gently rub, soon a wrinkled pink molt shell was rubbed off, and a brand new, grown-up shiny Dratini appeared in Ze Shu's eyes.
Bathed in the warm light, its delicate pink skin looked as if it could breathe.
"Chu mi~~~"
The dwarf dragon squinted its eyes, as if savoring the afterglow.
Then....
A moment later, its pink little dragon head looked at the "frozen sugar cake" on the table and exclaimed happily:
"Chu mi!!"
One more!
This "lesson" will teach it a lesson; it will never dare to eat it again!
Zeqi: "???"
What kind of masochistic mini-dragon is this?!
But the Dratini after being "tortured" didn't seem to show any signs of pain.
When the fog rolled in, its body burst out of Ze Shu's embrace and rushed toward the plate of frozen sugar cakes.
But this time...
But Ze Shu took it in.
The mini-dragon was just a step away from the candy cake, but it couldn't reach it. It could only look back pitifully at Ze Shu with pleading eyes:
"Chu mi!"
Ze Shu, however, said to the Mini Dragon very seriously, "If you want to eat it, of course I can give it to you. But not now. We need to study this thing to make sure it won't harm your body before you can eat it!"
The miniature dragon looked aggrieved: "Chu mi..."
It's okay, it's absolutely okay!
Doesn't it know its own body?
The frozen sugar cake was right in front of him, but the Mini Dragon "loved it but couldn't have it." This made the Mini Dragon reminisce, and suddenly he felt that the previous icy experience had become refreshing.
Ze Shu:
"..."
What's up? Come to Kona's house for a nap.
Our mini dragons have become obsessed with eating "ice"?!
Looking at this silly-looking shiny Dratini, a scene inexplicably came to mind:
On a leisurely afternoon, with warm sunshine, Dragonair... no, this doesn't seem like something a graceful Pokémon like Dragonair would do.
Instead, the chubby, silly-looking Dragonite was sitting in an ice bucket full of ice.
With its left hand, it scooped up a pile of icy ice cubes and shoved them into its mouth. With its right hand, it grabbed a bottle of ice-cold soda and gulped it down, shivering from the cold but making a refreshing whooshing sound, while its little wings flapped behind it.
What kind of nonsense is this?!
Ze Shu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
But the Dragonite in his mind was green!
He couldn't accept it. If his shiny Dratini were to end up being a Dragonite, he'd have to dig out a paint bucket and paint it completely. So, green was out of the question.
Yes, absolutely not!
