Chapter 217: My Larvitar Will Absolutely Not Return Empty-Handed
Seeing his Orbeetle defeated in one hit, the Strong Man was not angry but happy instead. He looked at the Larvitar with eyes like he was appraising goods, constantly praising:
"I didn't expect you to be so strong, it's truly unexpected. I like you more and more!"
Just as the Strong Man's voice fell, two bolts of Lightning struck down towards his Head.
Attacking the Strong Man were the Toxtricity Brothers. What they hated most was that kind of look from the Strong Man; this reminded them of that Circus Troupe Leader, the person they hated most in their lives.
The Strong Man's movements were very agile. He did a neat roll on the Ground, successfully dodging the Toxtricity's attack, then neatly got up and looked at the Toxtricity Brothers with interest.
"You two aren't bad either, should fetch a good price."
The Strong Man's words completely enraged the two Toxtricity Brothers. They saw their Bodies tremble violently, and clumps of Venom erupted, attacking towards the Strong Man.
At this moment, beside the Strong Man, there was already a Scizor wearing red armor.
They saw the Scizor quickly swing its pincers. All the Toxins sprayed by the two Toxtricity were shattered by it. As a Steel-type Pokémon, it was not afraid of Toxins.
Seeing that the Toxins were ineffective against the Scizor, the two Toxtricity began to switch to Electric-type moves. They first used Charge Skill simultaneously, planning to strengthen themselves.
Golden Electric Current gathered in the air, and strands of Electric Spark were absorbed into the Toxtricity Brothers' Bodies.
But at this moment, the Scizor launched an attack on the Toxtricity. It used Quick Attack, arriving behind the Toxtricity in the blink of an eye, and raising its giant pincers, it was about to use Bullet Punch to strike the two Brothers.
But how could Larvitar just watch its companions get hammered?
They saw it suddenly grin and put on a Scary Face. A dark light appeared with it, forming a huge black ghost face that floated in mid-air.
The Instant it saw this ghost face, the Scizor's entire Body stiffened, and its raised fist also stopped.
The Skill Scary Face can make the opponent feel Fear and lower their speed. This is a Skill that Larvitar learned alone in the Galar Region.
At this moment, the two Toxtricity finally finished Charging. They sprang with their legs, instantly jumping away from their original spot, creating distance from the Scizor. At the same Time, their entire Bodies suddenly burst forth with countless golden Electric Current.
The Electric Current gathered into two Thunder Dragons, roaring as they crashed into the Scizor.
With a scream, the Scizor was submerged by the golden Thunder Dragons.
The Electric-type move used by the Toxtricity Brothers was Shock Wave. Its Power was not very strong, but it would definitely hit the opponent.
At this moment, Larvitar's attack also arrived. They saw several Rock Spears descend from the sky, landing directly on the Scizor's Body. The Scizor was instantly pinned in the middle by the Rock Spears, unable to move.
Those Rock Spears stuck in the Scizor's Body seemed to have a conductive Function. The Electric Current began to flow back into the Scizor's Body along the spears.
Crackle!
"Hassah!!!"
The sound of Electric Spark intertwining and the Scizor's screams were intertwined.
By the Time the Electric Spark dissipated, the Scizor had completely lost its Combat Ability.
Seeing the fallen Scizor, the Strong Man frowned. This isn't normal, are Wild Pokémon this strong? Especially that Larvitar, it's only in its Initial Form, but its attack Power is terrifyingly high, even average Final Form Pokémon can't compare to it.
((〃〃)) Larvitar: Hmph hmph~ Don't understand now, do you? I'm a Level-Suppressed Expert!
At this moment, the Strong Man finally put away his contempt for Larvitar, no longer looking down on it just because it was in its Initial Form.
Also, those two Toxtricity aren't simple either.
Thinking of this, the Strong Man's mouth curved into an arc. "Very good, very good, you are all Pokémon very suitable for me!"
┌(.Д.)┐ Hearing this, Larvitar and the Toxtricity Brothers were a bit dumbfounded. Are you a damn idiot? Who would be suitable for you? Even without a Mirror, you must have seen yourself when you pee, right?
The Strong Man didn't know the psychological Activity of Larvitar and the Toxtricity. They saw him take out a Poké Ball and recall the unconscious Scizor, and then released an incredibly huge Steelix.
Compared to this Steelix, Larvitar was simply like a small ant.
"Oooong~~~"
After the Steelix came out, it let out a long roar towards the sky. The resulting airwaves blew the surrounding Big Trees askew, showing how strong its Strength was.
This giant Steelix was the Strong Man's Ace Pokémon.
"I think you should just surrender obediently!" the Strong Man said with a half-smile.
"Yo~ yo~ yo~" Surrender your face! You think I'm afraid?
Larvitar put its hands on its hips.
Why did Larvitar run in this direction? Of course, it's because there are helpers here.
At this moment, Drilbur, the Dugtrio couple, and other Dugtrio, Drilbur, Carbink, etc. who were friends with the family of three, had all quietly arrived Underground, just waiting for Larvitar's command to attack the Steelix together!
Knowing it wasn't a match for the Steelix, Larvitar was about to call its Companions. However, at this moment, it saw that groups of Cufant and Copperajah had quietly surrounded the area.
Oh no, too many Copperajah were tricked today, their Companions have come looking for trouble!
Although the Cufant and Copperajah were hidden very well, Larvitar, who had suffered losses many Times, had long since developed a pair of sharp eyes. It immediately noticed the Cufant and Copperajah hiding in the dark.
Suddenly, Larvitar had a brainwave. It first plopped down, knelt on the Ground, and kowtowed towards the Strong Man.
The Strong Man saw this and smiled, "Consider yourself sensible." He thought Larvitar had given up resisting.
So Larvitar quickly got up, ran to the Steelix's side with its short legs, hugged its Body and said loudly, "Wuwu~ Thanks to you today, if you hadn't helped us dig Holes, we wouldn't have been able to take down so many Copperajah."
()??? Steelix: What are you talking about?
The Strong Man was still laughing happily. He didn't understand what Larvitar was saying, feeling that Larvitar was truly sensible, it even knew to please its Ace Pokémon.
Little did he know that the words Larvitar had just said to the Steelix were all heard clearly by the surrounding Cufant and Copperajah.
Aha, I knew why Larvitar suddenly became so cunning, so there was a Human guiding it from behind!
"Oooong~"
The Copperajah Leader was burning with rage, raised its long trunk, ordering its kin to launch an attack, targeting the Strong Man and his Steelix.
The Skin color of Cufant and Copperajah is very similar to the color of moss and Rock. They also deliberately hid their Figures to catch Larvitar, so it wasn't until they launched their attack that the Strong Man discovered something was wrong.
For a Time, the Ground shook and the Mountain swayed, and countless round balls rushed out from the Forest.
The Cufant used Roll Skill, the Copperajah used Heavy Slam Skill, that scene was truly spectacular!
The Instant the Cufant and Copperajah launched their attack, Larvitar took the Toxtricity Brothers and ran.
Under normal Circumstances, they definitely couldn't escape, but at this moment, Drilbur and others were waiting Underground. The three of them ran to a corner of the Cliff, where they saw a Hole suddenly appear. The Dugtrio couple poked their Heads out from inside.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly!" the couple called out to Larvitar and the Toxtricity Brothers.
Larvitar took its companions and neatly hid inside the Hole. It had done this routine countless Times and was very skilled.
After Larvitar and the Toxtricity Brothers entered the Hole, the Dugtrio couple quickly blocked the Hole entrance.
By the Time the Strong Man reacted, Larvitar and the Toxtricity Brothers had long since disappeared. He could only deal with the Cufant and Copperajah rushing from all directions by himself.
That Steelix was indeed powerful, but two fists are no match for four hands. Moreover, the Copperajah Leader was not weak at all!
The Strong Man actually had a Black Tech Weapon in his Hand. That was a Handgun that could temporarily make Pokémon fall asleep. Relying on this Handgun, he had hunted many rare and powerful Pokémon.
But after all, there was only one Handgun. Soon his Handgun was knocked away by a Cufant in the chaos and then trampled to pieces by another Copperajah.
Under the siege of the Cufant and Copperajah, the Steelix quickly lost its Combat Ability. The Strong Man also fainted from the Cufant's charge.
Until he fainted, the Strong Man didn't know how he had offended this group of Cufant and Copperajah.
Because they couldn't find Larvitar, in the end, the Cufant and Copperajah could only leave resentfully.
When there was completely no Activity outside, Larvitar quietly took the Toxtricity Brothers and crawled out from another Hole entrance.
It walked up to the Strong Man, kicked him in frustration. Hmph hmph~ You think you can catch me? You're not even worthy of carrying Stones for me!
Larvitar rummaged through the Strong Man's Body, finally taking his Space Backpack, and walked away proudly.
My Larvitar Will Absolutely Not Return Empty-Handed!
By the Time Yu Hai arrived riding Corviknight, he only saw a mess Below the Cliff. The Strong Man and the Steelix lay there motionless.
Instantly he guessed the Strong Man had been besieged by Wild Pokémon.
Serves him right!
Yu Hai muttered a sentence, then urged Corviknight to descend. He found the Steelix's Poké Ball and recalled it, and then had Corviknight grab the Strong Man. Just like that, he rode Corviknight and left the Forest again.
Returning to its Home Cave, Larvitar felt very tired, so it burrowed into the pile of Lapis Lazuli and ate heartily, stopping only when its belly couldn't fit any more.
This Lapis Lazuli Mine had already been eaten by Larvitar for more than half. Its small belly was simply like a bottomless Hole. Letting it eat freely, eating an entire Mountain empty was simply a piece of cake.
After eating its fill, Larvitar took out the Space Backpack it got from the Strong Man and poured out the Stuff inside with a rustling sound.
The Space Backpack stored a large amount of Food and Supplies, including various Food items for Pokémon. These were useless to Larvitar, so it threw them all to its companions.
The Energy Cubes left by Bai Feng had long since been eaten by them. These Food items served as a good supplement, better than nothing.
Inside, there were also many Clothes for replacement. Larvitar crumpled these Clothes up and stuffed them all into its companions' nests. Some Clothes had a very soft texture, good for building nests.
It itself didn't like soft Beds. Sleeping in the Lapis Lazuli pile was very good; when tired of sleeping, it could just lie there and eat.
Besides this, Larvitar also found two Incubators containing Pokémon Eggs inside.
Both Eggs were light gray, with a few dark gray spots scattered on them, emitting vigorous Life Force. It didn't know what kind of Pokémon they belonged to.
Larvitar curiously poked the Incubator's transparent outer shell, seeming very interested in the two Eggs. But it was afraid of damaging the Pokémon Eggs, so it didn't dare open the Incubator.
Seeing that it couldn't touch the Pokémon Eggs, it put the Incubator back into the Space Backpack.
After rummaging through the miscellaneous Stuff poured out from the Space Backpack, Larvitar didn't find anything it was interested in.
(ε) Disappointed.
The Toxtricity Brothers were tidying up their little nests. They had just eaten their fill and now wanted to have a good sleep.
The two Brothers snuggled together, curled up in the little nest covered with soft Clothes. Suddenly the Younger Brother felt something long and strip-shaped poking it, so it reached out and touched it.
What is this?
Soon it found a Phone in the pocket of a piece of Clothes.
"Wuwu~" It's a Phone, it has power!
The Toxtricity Younger Brother cried out in surprise and skillfully turned on the Phone.
"Wuwu~" It's really a Phone, can we watch the Primarina Band's Videos now?
The Toxtricity Older Brother also came over in surprise.
Since entering this Mountain, they had never watched the Primarina Band's Videos again, nor had they heard Primarina's Singing Voice again.
The two Pokémon skillfully used the Phone to download the Online Platform that the Primarina Band usually used for Livestreaming and publishing Videos. They didn't expect the Signal in this Mountain to be quite good; it downloaded successfully in an Instant.
Entering the Platform, they found the Primarina Band's Account and found that during the Time they hadn't been following, the Primarina Band had released many new Videos.
Moreover, the Band's coordination was getting better and better, and Primarina's Singing was becoming increasingly refined.
The two Brothers listened to the Music with great interest.
Because Larvitar didn't find anything it was interested in from the Space Backpack, it took out the Incubators containing Pokémon Eggs from the Space Backpack again, holding one in each hand in its arms. Then it lay in the pile of Lapis Lazuli and zoned out, and rolled the Incubators from Time to Time.
The Incubators were very sturdy. Even if dropped or knocked around, they wouldn't harm the Pokémon Eggs inside.
At this moment, a melody suddenly sounded in the Cave.
Huh? How does this Singing Voice sound a bit familiar?
Although Larvitar was puzzled in its Heart, at this moment, it suddenly felt very tired, its eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Just like this, in the familiar melody, Larvitar, holding the Pokémon Eggs, fell asleep lying on the pile of Lapis Lazuli.
After the Toxtricity Brothers listened to the Music for a while, also accompanied by Primarina's gentle Singing Voice, they gradually entered dreamland.
In the middle of the night, the three Pokémon were all sound asleep. A white light suddenly began to flicker on Larvitar's Body, the light flickered on and off, seeming to exist and not exist.
