Snap!
Pidgeot stared at the whip in front of it in despair.
Its own kin had been whipped by this strange Pokémon.
“You guys…”
Zarude spoke in the Pokémon language, then swallowed another Sitrus Berry.
“You have a lot of courage, but courage alone isn’t enough to challenge the forest blood.”
Including Leavanny, they all looked at Zarude with a mix of disbelief and stubbornness.
“Come with me.”
Zarude pulled Leavanny up, intending to leave directly, but then stopped and looked at the mess on the ground.
“Can’t cause trouble for Mu Zong.”
Vines extended from his back, and he lowered his body, the vines intertwining through the trees.
Jungle Healing!
A move that could only be learned at level ninety in the game, and in reality, only a few Zarude could master it.
He seemed to merge with the forest, and a healing power spread around him.
The wounds on the Pidgeot family gradually disappeared, and Leavanny also felt herself becoming more energetic.
Even Zarude’s own injuries were recovering.
“luzha…”
He was different from other Pokémon; no matter how much he was healed, something was always missing, as if there was a wall in the way.
“Whew…”
Zarude swallowed another Sitrus Berry, then dragged Leavanny and turned to leave.
Leavanny was forced to experience being a “failed man,” only she was tossed around like an object.
.........
“Damn it, I missed again.” Mu Zong’s face darkened, feeling like he had been played by capital.
He felt as if he was feeding fish in the water.
The Magikarp that swallowed his bait leaped out of the water and used Splash on the shore.
Before Mu Zong could react, the Magikarp jumped back in.
Mu Zong’s face grew even darker.
“Capital, you win.”
He re-baited his hook, cast his rod, and sat on the ground, waiting quietly.
“luzha.”
Zarude dropped from a tree behind him, carrying a bound Leavanny on his shoulder.
Hearing the sound, Mu Zong turned his head, his fishing rod almost falling to the ground.
“How did you…”
He opened his mouth. What kind of getup was this?
And where did this Leavanny come from?
Zarude placed the Sitrus Berry he was holding on the ground; only three were left.
Then he pointed at the sheet on Mu Zong and then at Leavanny.
“You mean, you want Leavanny to help me make clothes?” Mu Zong looked at Leavanny, his tone uncertain.
Leavanny met his seemingly harmless eyes, could only snort coldly, and turned her head away.
Make clothes for a human? She wouldn’t!
Snap!
A thick vine whip struck beside her, instantly turning her face pale.
“Hey, hey, don’t be so fierce, we’re practically neighbors,” Mu Zong quickly said, which also made Zarude retract his vine whip.
“luzha!”
Zarude squatted on the ground, advising Leavanny to behave herself.
If they didn’t know each other now, they’d get to know each other after a few more beatings.
That’s right, that’s how the forest blood works!
Even among their own kind, they often spar.
But in Leavanny’s eyes, this was a blatant ruffian.
Mu Zong put down his fishing rod and came to Leavanny’s side.
“Although it might be impolite, can you help me tailor a set of clothes?” Mu Zong asked, simultaneously picking up a Sitrus Berry from the ground, breaking off a piece, and handing it over.
Leavanny looked at Mu Zong, who was showing goodwill, then at Zarude, whose face was full of menace, and chose to swallow the small piece of Sitrus Berry.
Her condition was actually not bad; Zarude’s Jungle Healing had also healed her injuries.
“mu~”
Zarude nodded and released Leavanny.
The vines retracted into the wristband on his hand.
The vine-wrapped wristband showed no change, as if it contained an alternate dimension.
Leavanny stood up, first moving a few steps away, then elegantly tidying the broken branches and leaves on her body.
If it weren’t for this human giving her fruit, she wouldn’t help him.
It definitely wasn’t because she couldn’t beat Zarude!
“Oh my god, my fishing rod!”
Mu Zong was shocked; his fishing rod had quietly disappeared from the shore, dragged into the water by some unknown fish.
This also meant that his savings were completely gone, and he had no tools left.
A huge loss.
Just then, a vine extended deep into the lake.
Zarude had jumped onto a tree at some point, and the vine was what he had thrown down.
Under Mu Zong’s astonished gaze, the vine was quickly swung, stirring the entire lake surface, making it turbulent.
A huge whirlpool reflected in Mu Zong’s eyes.
In Zarude’s own eyes, this whirlpool was just like himself, stirring up the originally normal course of events.
“You’re practically Superman,” Mu Zong murmured.
As he spoke, Zarude drew out another whip and struck the rising whirlpool.
“luzha!!!”
He used immense force, as if venting his emotions.
Water splashed onto the shore like a depth charge, and more than a dozen fish fell to the ground like rain.
Among them were two Magikarp.
Zarude specifically looked at these two Magikarp, and was somewhat disappointed when he found they weren’t golden.
The companions in his memory were still waiting in the future.
There were so many happy Pokémon on the farm back then, and also a little pink Pokémon.
“mu…”
Leavanny looked at him in horror.
What kind of monster was this!
And what kind of strong Trainer must his Trainer be?
She looked at Mu Zong, but found that Mu Zong’s face showed no expression, as if he was used to it.
This made her even more certain that Mu Zong was a very powerful Trainer.
“Awesome… awesome…”
Mu Zong’s heart twitched; he didn’t know what to say anymore.
Was this even considered fishing?
Bomb fishing?
A bomb-fishing dog, indeed.
He looked at the scattered fish nearby; there were several forest crucian carp among them, and by their robust appearance, they should weigh quite a bit.
“Saved.”
Mu Zong walked over and wrestled with the fish.
Zarude landed under the tree, picked up some branches, and made a large basket with his vines.
Then he looked at Mu Zong, only to see Mu Zong comically holding a crucian carp in his arms.
“luzha…”
Zarude laughed out loud, tears almost coming to his eyes.
Leavanny, standing nearby, subtly moved away, feeling that Zarude seemed to have something wrong with his head.
No one could understand Zarude’s feelings.
“What’s wrong? Is it that funny?” Mu Zong asked, puzzled, carrying the fish in his arms to Zarude and placing the large crucian carp into the basket.
At the same time, he felt that this crucian carp weighed at least three or four jin, whereas wild crucian carp weighing two jin were already rare in his previous life.
One could only say it was indeed the world of Pokémon, where nature contained various energies.
Fish after fish were put into the basket, and Mu Zong’s heart filled with a bit more anticipation.
“I hope it sells for a good price,” he thought to himself.
In his previous life, ordinary wild crucian carp cost over fifty per jin; the price here must be even higher, right?
“Going home?” Mu Zong looked at Zarude, who had calmed his emotions.
“luzha!”
Going home!
