Xia Mu nodded, looking at Golurk, who had been recalled into its Poké Ball.
“We can do this!”
Although Golurk’s level was higher than Snivy and Sprigatito combined, Xia Mu’s side not only had a type advantage but also the benefit of numerical superiority…
Of course, most importantly, Xia Mu could use the Poké Ball’s mechanism to create opportunities for the team to focus fire.
“Sprigatito, Snivy, watch your positioning!”
“Meow!”
“Mew!”
Sprigatito and Snivy’s large eyes stared at the shaking Poké Ball, accumulating energy without the slightest relaxation.
A faint green glow emanated from the green fur on Sprigatito’s chest, and Snivy’s lily-like collar also lit up, not to be outdone.
Compared to the two little Pokémon,
Xia Mu, with his phone in his left hand and a Poké Ball in his right, looked ready.
But in reality, Xia Mu’s attention wasn’t entirely focused.
Looking at the shaking Poké Ball, Xia Mu felt quite puzzled.
Xia Mu had seen Golurk and Golett and other Pokémon at the Elf Center before.
But even if these Pokémon were usually silent and, without commands, either stood idly or followed their trainers step by step, seemingly lacking self-awareness,
in reality, their intelligence was not low.
Especially in battle, they always gave people a sense of contrast that differed from their appearance.
However,
the Golurk in front of him seemed overly rigid.
Xia Mu had simulated this ball-tossing tactic in his mind, but he had never expected it to be so easy.
Moreover,
from the accumulated energy, Xia Mu could confirm that
this Golurk’s strength was definitely not weak.
“So…”
Xia Mu suspected that it might be a Golurk that had awakened from a long sleep.
“It must be groggy from sleep!”
Thinking of this, Xia Mu immediately made up his mind.
He had to capture Golurk before it fully woke up.
Boom!
Focus fire!
Positioning!
Throw the ball!
Round and round.
Xia Mu didn't know
why the exciting moment of capture had turned into such a prolonged battle.
After putting his hand into his backpack once more, Xia Mu’s movements stiffened.
“Is this the last one?”
Looking at the black and white Heavy Ball in his hand, Xia Mu was incredibly grateful that he had shamelessly scoured the area for so long under Jenny's gaze.
A shameless person is invincible.
Xia Mu always felt that his luck had become very good after he transmigrated.
Wanting to earn money by filming videos, he encountered all sorts of exciting things along the way.
To challenge the Gym and capture Pokémon, he just happened to encounter a giant Golurk with the Ground type, which was also particularly unique.
When he encountered Golurk, he just happened to have a Heavy Ball in his bag.
Moreover,
Golurk’s weight of over 400KG allowed the Heavy Ball to achieve its maximum capture rate.
“Hehehe, it seems I’m doing well too~”
Thinking of his experiences—the school building a playground after he graduated from elementary school, the school building a new gate after he graduated from middle school, and classrooms getting air conditioning after he graduated from high school—Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh.
“This kind of good fortune is what I deserve!!”
Whoosh!
The Heavy Ball slammed hard into the back of Golurk’s head, dealing a critical hit.
Thud!
Accompanied by a crisp sound effect,
Xia Mu looked at the Poké Ball, which had stopped shaking, his expression excited.
“Golurk, I caught you!!”
“Meow!”
“Mew!”
The two little Pokémon, seeing this, happily ran to Xia Mu’s side, simultaneously looking at the Heavy Ball in Xia Mu’s hand with anticipation.
And Xia Mu didn’t hesitate, immediately releasing Golurk.
“Hum—”
Even though it was captured by Xia Mu using a sneaky method, Golurk didn't show any objection, instead standing silently in place, watching Xia Mu heal it.
“Golurk, you stand here…”
Xia Mu began to direct Sprigatito and the other Pokémon into position.
After some adjustments, they posed, and Snivy used its Vine Whip to pull the camera back, then—
“Say cheese!”
...
Looking at the photo, Xia Mu nodded with satisfaction.
“Perfect, maybe I can use this photo as the cover then…”
But,
Sprigatito was very dissatisfied.
What was so good about it?
I’m all dusty…
“Meow!”
Sprigatito strongly demanded a bath and another photo shoot.
What could Xia Mu do about such a request?
He could only spoil it, of course.
Returning to the entrance, after marking it on the map application, Xia Mu called Jenny.
“Are you there? I’ve struck it rich, giving you a chance to cling to my leg!”
“Huh?!”
Jenny, who was slacking off during her patrol, froze, then burst out laughing.
“If you’ve struck it rich, then I’m already the richest person in the world!”
Facing Jenny’s ridicule, Xia Mu was not bothered in the slightest.
“Heh, such limited imagination!”
“Let’s get straight to it, I found a ruin!”
Jenny: “…”
After a moment of silence, Jenny was somewhat incredulous.
But Xia Mu’s confident tone…
“You, no… how could you?!”
She thought about how she had been threatened by Xia Mu with leverage earlier today, and her house was still like a battlefield.
Then she was caught by Joy while secretly eating at the Elf Center, and just when she finally decided to slack off for a bit, she received such terrible news.
And upon hearing Jenny’s exasperated voice, Xia Mu was satisfied.
“Alright, I’ve sent you the address. Remember to report it, I need to go take a bath first…”
Without waiting for Jenny to reply, Xia Mu hung up the phone directly and pulled out Golurk’s Poké Ball.
“Golurk, fly me!”
“Hum!”
Golurk directly embraced Xia Mu.
Then, its feet transformed into shapes resembling jet boosters.
Boom!
Energy spewed out, yellow sand scattered, and the massive body shot out like a rocket.
As the saying goes, stand high and see far.
Flying in the air, Xia Mu saw a group of Maractus rushing into a City, and behind them were trainers displaying their various abilities.
???
Xia Mu sensed something was wrong.
