Chapter 619: I got a gold nugget! I caught a Dratini!
"Lala algae, successfully captured!"
Xiao Guang excitedly picked up the Poké Ball, hugged it to his arms, and spun around in place.
Xiao Guang was very happy because her team had gained another dragon-type Pokémon with great potential.
Although it's just a little seahorse right now.
She released the Lalamode from its Poké Ball. The little guy was still dizzy and lay on the rocks, shaking its head.
The Lala algae was not even as tall as the Bogaman algae, and Xiao Guang easily picked it up.
"I'm Hikaru, and I'm Lala Zao. Nice to meet you!"
This lousy algae was still confused, and ended up being subdued without even realizing it.
Just as it was about to protest and express its dissatisfaction, Xiao Guang suddenly took out a pink soufflé from its backpack and held it to its mouth: "Did I hurt you during the battle? This is for you as an apology."
"Lala~"
Upon smelling the sweet aroma of the soufflé, Lala Algae's struggles instantly ceased.
You think you can become my trainer with just a little food?
Lala Zao, thinking it tasted good, leaned over and took a small bite, her eyes immediately narrowing.
Ta-da! It's Pokémon!
Whether it's captured or not doesn't matter; the main thing is that it wants to experience what it's like to be with a trainer.
"Oh, that's just luck."
Ah Xun and San Ping also came over, looking at the Lala Algae in Xiao Guang's arms with envy on their faces.
Xiao Yun was even more itchy to try it out. He actually wanted to tame a Lala Algae, or even an Iron-Armed Shrimp if that wasn't possible.
As for things like agate jellyfish, forget it... He doesn't really want to go for the nail-spreading style.
"When will I be able to catch anything again...?"
As Ah Xun was speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his fishing rod out of the corner of his eye.
Before I knew it, a large blue lobster was hanging on the fishing rod.
"This is... an iron-armed pistol shrimp?"
Ashin was stunned; there were even Pokémon that had come to him for help.
That's fate.
He immediately pulled out a Poké Ball and shouted:
"Rosredo, use Vine Whip!"
Roserade jumped out of the Poké Ball, raised its bouquet-shaped arm, and two emerald green vines instantly wrapped around it, precisely binding Shrimp and rendering it unable to move.
"Go ahead, Poke Ball!"
Ah Xun took the opportunity to throw out a Poké Ball.
Bang! Successfully captured!
Xiao Yun was completely stunned by the smooth combo. He had previously said he wanted to pull some algae, and Xiao Guang had already subdued it.
I was just thinking that Iron Arm Shrimp would be good too, and then Ah Xun came along.
So, he's using his mouth to bless others, huh?
Meanwhile, Sanping also made a gain.
"Greninja Frog, Water Shuriken!"
Greninja leaped into the air and threw out several water-spraying shuriken, which accurately struck a turtle-like creature lying on a reef.
Turtle Feet fainted instantly, and Sanping threw out a Poké Ball.
Ta-da! Successfully subdued again!
What a thrilling and satisfying battle to subdue them!
Seeing that everyone else had made a profit, Xiaoyun felt even more depressed.
So even though he used Citron's high-tech fishing rod, he still ended up being unlucky.
No, he has to catch another decent Pokémon today!
So Xiaoyun sat back down on the stool and focused all her attention on the fishing rod.
He was oblivious to everything else, only focused on catching a big catch.
two and a half hours later…….
After catching dozens of carp and jellyfish in a row, just when Xiaoyun was about to give up, the fishing rod finally moved again.
Thump...!
A snake-shaped Pokémon was pulled out of the water.
It has a pair of bright purple eyes, a small white bump on its forehead, its whole body is covered with light blue scales, and its belly is pure bright white.
"This...this is...a Mini Dragon!"
Xiaoyun looked left and right and confirmed that this was the initial form of the fat dragon, a mini dragon.
Wow, what a stroke of luck!
"What Mini Dragon? Where is it? Where is it?!"
Ah Xun was making a lot of noise, but then he saw a cute little fish hanging on the fishing rod, and he was completely stunned.
Holy crap, why, why did Xiaoyun manage to catch a Mini Dragon?
This little gadget is practically a god-tier weapon.
Xiaoyun already has a mythical beast, can't we give him this cute little thing instead?
"fan...."
The dwarf dragon stared with its big eyes and made an adorable, silly cry.
"So cute~"
Xiao Guang's voice softened considerably as he stood beside the mini dragon, afraid of frightening it.
"This is fate. Go, Poké Ball."
This little thing is so cute that Xiaoyun couldn't bear to hit it, so she just threw a Poké Ball.
Ding......
Soon, the Poké Ball stopped shaking, and things went surprisingly smoothly.
"Dragonite, Dragon Pokémon"
"Attribute: Dragon"
"Characteristic: Miracle Scales"
"Movements: Swiftness, Throwing Strike, Tornado, Dragon Breath..."
"Strength: Elite Stage"
"Little guy, you... no, you're injured?"
Xiaoyun then released the Dratini, but the smile on his face faded the next second.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Dratini had multiple abrasions and bruises under its scales, indicating that it was injured.
This isn't right.
Xiaoyun immediately called Shaymin out. Shaymin approached the Mini Dragon, healing it while asking:
"Little Mimi, how did you get this injury?"
"Mmm~" (So comfortable~)
Upon hearing this, the Dratini immediately snapped out of its comforting embrace and began pointing anxiously at the island across the sea.
Xiaoyun crouched down, her eyes serious: "You mean, someone on that island is trying to capture you, right?"
"mum!"
The mini dragon nodded emphatically, indicating that it had family inside.
"Xiao Guang, let's go check out the situation."
Xiaoyun turned to look at Xiaoguang, who understood and immediately released Gyarados.
Gyarados can reach seven or eight meters in length, with a broad back that can accommodate four people, and it moves very fast.
Before long, the group arrived at the island that the Dratini had mentioned.
This is an unnamed island, not very large in area. There are many unnamed islands like this in Azure Bay.
Soon, they found the group that had been chasing the Dratini.
It was quite conspicuous, because a brightly lit warship was moored right on the shore.
There were six or seven people involved, and all of them used purple spider Pokémon.
Ariados, the Pokémon that begins the dream.
In the center of the spider swarm, an orange dragon-shaped Pokémon was present.
The Kanto pseudo-god, Dragonite.
"Mini Dragon, is that Dragonite your family?" Xiaoyun asked softly, her voice softening as she looked at the Mini Dragon perched on her shoulder.
"Mi~"
The Dratini nodded vigorously, eagerly looking in the direction of the Dragonite, indicating that that was its father.
"Then what are we waiting for? These people are definitely poachers, let's just start fighting!"
Ashun rolled up his sleeves, his hand already resting on the Poké Ball at his waist.
He traveled for two or three years and encountered many poachers along the way, never hesitating to deal with these scumbags.
"That's right! There's no point in talking to these heartless bastards!"
Sanpei is also someone who hates evil, and surprisingly he didn't argue with Ashun. He can't stand anyone bullying Pokémon.
"Wait a minute, don't rush, look behind you."
Xiaoyun pulled the two hot-blooded youths aside and pointed behind her.
Behind the poachers was a thin man with a sinister face.
Next to him was an iron cage containing several seahorse-shaped Pokémon.
Some are covered with dried seaweed, while others are larger with leaf-shaped appendages extending from their sides.
It's Lala algae and Poisonous Algae Dragon!
"They even captured Lala Algae and Poisonous Algae Dragons! These people are despicable!"
Xiao Guang was indignant, thinking that he would teach these people a lesson later.
"So let's not rush. Let's assess the situation first and then work together to take care of all of them."
Xiaoyun drew a circle with her finger, meaning that none of these people could escape.
“That makes sense, Xiaoyun, you’re very familiar with this area.”
Ah Xun was somewhat impressed; this guy was clearly a veteran.
Xiaoyun smiled faintly: "Nothing special, it's just a matter of practice makes perfect."
He's the one who took care of the top-tier alphabet groups among hunters, so taking down these lower-level hunters is a piece of cake for him.
Because the group was a little closer, they could already hear the conversation.
"You lot, hurry up! I've been paid, so give it your all!"
The sinister-looking man kicked the iron cage beside him, his voice full of impatience.
A poacher with a thick beard turned around, a greedy glint in his eyes: "Lord Snake, you paid for capturing the Poisonous Algae Dragon, but this Dragonite wasn't included in the original agreement!"
Another tall, thin man chimed in, "That's right, sir. If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it, right? This Dragonite is a pseudo-legendary; catching it is much harder than catching a Poisonous Algae Dragon!"
Snake frowned, his expression darkening further.
"Alright, alright, stop haggling with me! I'll increase the agreed-upon compensation by another 20%!"
"Only 20%?"
The bearded man curled his lip.
"What, not enough?"
Snake looked at him disdainfully. These filthy poachers dared to push their luck after receiving only two cents. They were truly insatiable.
The bearded man rubbed his hands together: "Although 20% is already a lot, just look how fierce this Dragonite is. It has taken down so many of our Ariados."
The tall, thin poacher immediately chimed in, "That's right, if you say we didn't hold it down and it hurt you, that wouldn't be good."
"You're threatening me now?"
If it weren't for the need for these people to catch Dragonite, I would have thrown you all into the sea to feed the fish in no time.
"How could that be, sir! What threats? That was just a hypothetical situation."
The bearded man quickly waved his hand, forcing a fake smile onto his face.
That's what they say, but the poachers all have three words written on their faces.
Need more money!
"You greedy groundhogs, just one word: fifty percent, is that alright?"
Snake gritted his teeth.
The groundhogs shouted in unison, "Okay!"
That's fantastic! I only wanted 30%, but Snake increased it to 50%! This is a wonderful surprise!
Snake's face darkened at the sight of these guys' performance.
Damn, that's too high.
He was a black market dealer who combined poaching and trafficking, and was personally accustomed to participating in poaching.
And what he sells are Poison-type Pokémon.
Lala algae and poisonous algae dragons are his main targets, and he will occasionally catch some stinging jellyfish to make up the numbers.
While carrying out their routine plan to capture the Poisonous Algae Dragon, they never expected to encounter two pseudo-gods today.
Unfortunately, the smaller one got away.
It's all the fault of these greedy groundhogs. They won't work hard unless they get paid more, and they don't follow any industry rules.
Once the oxen and horses received a salary, they instantly became incredibly energetic, like they'd been injected with adrenaline and immediately began to exert themselves.
"Ariados, Poison Silk!"
"Ali!"
The giant spiders immediately raised their heads, spewing out countless purple-glowing silk threads from their mouthparts. The silk threads intertwined in the air to form a poisonous web, which descended upon the Dragonite.
"Woo!"
Dragonite let out a roar, and its short wings suddenly flapped faster.
Pale blue wind blades gathered around it, instantly transforming into a raging storm that swept everything away.
Tear!
The poison net was instantly torn to shreds by the gale, and the fragments were scattered by the wind.
"Still got some energy, let's try this one, Super Corner Kick."
The Ariados immediately arched their bodies, and the single horn on their heads suddenly grew longer and sharper, like a dazzling spear!
call out!
Faced with the onslaught of Ariados, Dragonite immediately unleashed its Dragon Claw, instantly defeating two of the attacking Ariados.
However, more Ariados attacked from the side, their super horn strikes aimed directly at its belly.
"Woo~"
Dragonite couldn't dodge in time and was hit hard by an Ariados, clutching its abdomen and slowly crouching down.
At the same time, a strange purple hue immediately appeared on its face.
Having been stung by Ariados's poisonous needles, the venom had begun to take effect, and his strength was gradually draining away.
Damn it! If it hadn't been poisoned, how could it have been bullied by these spiders!
"What are you waiting for? Get going! If you don't, you'll get your pay docked!"
Snake shouted angrily when he saw Dragonite fall to the ground.
"My lord, watch us finish this battle in one minute!"
The poachers were immediately unhappy when they heard that they would have their money deducted.
Deduct money? The money has already been added, how can you deduct it?
"Super Corner Strike!"
"Venomous attack!"
"Missile needle!"
Instantly, different colored lights shone from the Ariados—purple poison light, silver flying needles, and sharp horns—all their attacks charging up simultaneously.
Dragonite looked up at the countless attacks and closed its eyes in despair.
It knew it couldn't escape, but then it felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, the mini dragon has escaped. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in Azure Bay by now, right?
In this way, it has no regrets.
"Mi~"
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Dragonite suddenly opened its eyes and froze.
Is it so poisoned that it's hallucinating?
But the next second, it felt a small, cold body wrap around its arm.
It looked down and was shocked to see a Mini Dragon!
Dragonite stared in shock, its eyes wide, and a rapid growl escaped its throat.
"Huh??!" (Damn it, aren't you leaving yet?!)
Who told you to come back! It's so dangerous here, coming back is just suicide.
"Meow." (Of course I'm here to save you, Dad.)
The Dratini raised its little head and rubbed its cheek against the Dragonite's claw.
Dragonite was so angry that its tail stood up.
"Ugh...!" (Do you think this is a movie? Are you making a triumphant return?!)
"Meow!" (Then I'll save you too!)
Seeing the Dratini blink its big, watery eyes, the Dragonite instantly lost its temper and felt hopeless about its future.
It drooped its head helplessly, with only one thought in its mind.
This poisoning was all for nothing.
