Chapter 607 Unexpected

...

"Beer."

Mega Beedrill looked at Natsu excitedly.

Natsu smiled as he nodded.

They had just finished the Mega Evolution psychic communication, and they didn't need to say more.

Beedrill was already so strong, his training, his perseverance, his tenacity.

He just thought blindly that he wasn't strong enough and needed to work harder.

That was great, sure, and allowed Beedrill to focus more on training, but if he didn't build confidence, he would really think he couldn't.

And this time, Natsu helps him to make peace with himself.

Natsu didn't say anything, but that didn't mean that the other Pokemon didn't either.

They charged one by one and surrounded Beedrill.

Some tapped on his body, some touched his long needles, and some tried to touch his feather wings, but were electrocuted.

Natsu gets rid of the Poké Ball with Totem Sandslash.

The Totem aura thing, which has been verified since the last time it caught Totem Vikavolt, will gradually dissipate until it is gone.

It was similar to the Boss Pokémon he had caught in the past.

Only the aura of Bosses like Beedrill, obtained by reason of already being a Trainer's Pokémon, can survive and become even stronger.

Alolan Sandslash has been subdued.

Even though he couldn't see Alolan Sandshrew, that was half the goal.

The most important.

The Totem Sandslash, stimulated by Boss Beedrill's aura, pierced through the thick ice on Mount Lanakila's peak, allowing him to see what was happening inside Mount Lanakila.

Looking at the glacier tunnels leading everywhere, Natsu and Pokémon stood at the entrance.

No doubt.

Come in and have a look.

"Zam~"

Alakazam raised the ladle, used "Flash", and as light shone around, a corridor finally appeared before their eyes.

It was different from the ice path that Natsu entered at Mt. Coronet.

Although the ice roads on Mt. Coronet is also full of ice crystals. After the ice crystals, it is a rock.

But this is different.

After all, it was still ice crystals, as if entering a world composed entirely of crystals.

The dazzling light emitted by the Alakazam spoon, after passing through a layer of ice crystals, instead reveals colors, covering the tunnels of the glacier, making the road in front of it look even more mysterious.

"Perhaps Alolan Vulpix and Alolan Ninetales are also hiding here."

With such a wish, Natsu's heart that he had given up came alive again.

Go deeper with Pokemons.

Da, Da, Da

The leather shoes collided with the hard layer of ice, making a crisp sound, echoing in the small corridor.

Maybe because of the existence of Totem Sandslash, or because of the severe cold at the top of Mount Lanakila, there weren't many Wild Pokémon in the corridors, so their walking speed was also very fast.

The only problem is that these corridors are too tangled and complicated, and it takes a lot of time to explore.

However, the absence of Wild Pokémon does not mean that they do not exist.

And those who could stay here under the pressure of the Totem Sandslash aura would naturally not be weak in strength and ability.

As an example.

At this time, a group of Raticate and Rattata surrounded Natsu and them.

This is what Natsu encountered when he passed a fork in the road, choosing a path at random and nearing the end.

They weren't Raticates in the normal sense, but Raticates in Alola's form.

Compared to ordinary Raticates, their hair was all black, and their bodies were so sturdy that they couldn't walk on all fours and could only stand on their feet.

The icy conditions of Mount Lanakila also have no effect on them, as they have a thick layer of blubber.

The biggest difference from the normal Raticate to the Alolan Raticate was that the Attribute was no longer just a simple Normal Type, but a dual attribute, Dark Type and Normal Type.

The Raticates of Alola were very picky about their food due to the abundance of food sources brought by the fertile soil of the Alola Region, and they had also developed the habit of stockpiling quality food.

In the Alola Region, if you see a group of Raticates, there are two situations.

If not strong enough.

Then run away.

Due to their strong territorial awareness, they will launch vicious attacks on Pokémon that approach their territory.

But if you are confident in your own strength, you can handle a large group of Raticate and Rattata.

Congratulations then.

You will harvest abundant and abundant materials.

Berries and some materials specific from the Alola Region.

Like Raticate on Mount Lanakila, their food is stored in permafrost equivalent to a natural fridge, and there is no need to worry about food spoilage.

So when Natsu saw this Raticate and Rattata group.

There was a smile on his face.

It was only surrounded by a dozen Raticates and tens of Rattatas.

Without the Totem Pokémon and quasi-Elite Raticate, this doesn't affect them much.

"Beer!"

Beedrill shot the body, knocking Raticate into the air who was trying to sneak attack.

With Alolan Raticate's speed, it seemed too incomparable in front of Beedrill today.

The combination of Dark-Type and Normal-Type Attributes made them more immune to Psychic Types, but their overall Attributes became cooler.

Especially for Beedrill.

They are limited by Bug Type, and they just ask for anything.

Without difficulty, "Fell Stinger" was used to increase his own attack power.

See the downsides.

He didn't know which Raticate had shouted.

ka ka ka ——

The layer of ice around him started to break apart, and the dark Raticate and Rattata drilled out from the layer of ice around him.

This Raticate group was much bigger than imagined.

One by one the cracks, accompanied by holes, more and more Raticate and Rattata appeared.

In the blink of an eye, the tens of Raticates instantly increased to hundreds.

However.

The number continues to grow.

The Raticates lacked any particular power, but they could navigate the glacial tunnels dug by Totem Sandslash with ease, relying on a number that was terrifying to most Trainers.

Horrible amount.

Seeing more and more Raticates around, Beedrill and co slowly gathered around Natsu.

And Natsu gradually got rid of the smile on his face.

Tell the truth.

Such a large number of ethnic groups was something he had never imagined.

Just talk.

Mount Lanakila is so rare and Raticate's living environment is so comfortable that it grew to this size.

Raticates will come and continue.

More and more cracks in the ice all around.

ka!

Sound like a cracking explosion.

With so many holes and cracks, the ice sheet was finally overwhelmed, and there were sounds of protest.

Immediately after.

The ground began to shake violently, and a thick layer of ice began to crumble.

This time.

Even Raticates panicked a bit.

Natsu's brows furrowed, his palms lightly resting on Alakazam's shoulders.

the following is empty?

He didn't know which Raticate had started, but they also realized the situation and started to disperse.

Sadly.

Their movements only accelerated the breaking of the ice.

bang!

Like the ground collapsing, with a roar, the ice layer underfoot completely collapsed, and the ice crystals around and above the head also collapsed overwhelmed.

"Zam?"

Alakazam's Psychic Barrier stood up, looked at Natsu, asking if it was time for him to leave?

But Natsu just hesitated.

"Come down and see."

He was also curious about what was under the ice.

"Zam!"

Alakazam understood, Psychic wrapped Natsu and a group of Pokémon, and began to fall along the collapsing ice crystals.

bang! explosion! explosion!

Chunks of ice crystals fell, and when they hit the bottom, they cracked.

And the space under the ice, along with the existence of Natsu and Alakazam, under the illumination of Alakazam's ladle, the outline gradually appeared.

It was a large ice cave, right where Natsu and the others were standing.

Natsu and them land safely under Alakazam's help.

But the slower Raticate and Rattata weren't so lucky.

Either fell from above and fell to the ground flustered, or was knocked out by the ice crystals that came one after another.

Those who could still act didn't dare to stay any longer, they scattered, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But that's about it.

It didn't concern Natsu anymore.

His gaze fell on the side of the Ice Cave.

See you.

A Pokémon whose whole body was as pure and pure as snow was pressed to the ground, with nine tails drooping, looking exhausted.

And that is one of the Pokemon that Natsu has been looking for all this time.

Ninetales!

Alolan Ninetales!

Only.

On her chest, trampled by Pewter colored soles.

Sharp, sharp claws were only a few centimeters from her head.

The falling layer of ice suddenly collapsed, interrupting the behavior of this Pokémon that should have ended Ninetales' life, staring blankly at Natsu and them in this direction.

.Weavile!

Wild Weavile!

Look at their current pose.

Natsu twitched the corners of his mouth.

Would you like to continue?

Of course, just think about it.

Natsu's eyes swept across the ice cave, taking in the entire scene.

Weavile stomped on Ninetales, as if wanting to end her.

Apart from them, there were also two Sneasels with happy smiles on their faces.

Not far from the corner.

A Sneasel clutched a tiny snow-white silhouette in his hand.

Alolan Vulpix!

Clear.

Weavile hunts Ninetales and Vulpix with three Sneasels.

Taking small Vulpix hostage, Ninetales is forced to surrender.

When Weavile was about to finish hunting and end Ninetales' life, the ice above the ice cavern collapsed due to Raticates' careless digging, disrupting Weavile's behavior.

Sneasel develops the Weavile with the help of the "Razor Claw".

So it's relatively rare, but also non-existent.

In the Alola Region, Weavile's favorite foods are Vulpix and Sandshrew.

And Weavile and Sneasel are cunning by nature, they are good at stealing the eggs of bird Pokémon, sucking the egg liquid, which has become the object of disgust for many Breeders.

But they are natural hunters and love to fight in teams.

They have a clear division of labor. Once their prey is targeted by them, they will continue to be disturbed until their prey is actually caught.

So Sneasel is also a Pokémon that many Pokémon hunters like.

But this time.

Apart from the scattered Raticate and Rattata, the appearance of Natsu and several Pokémon seemed to be the biggest uninvited guests in Weavile's eyes.

Weavile glanced, and then at the dying Ninetales.

Weavile twitched the corners of his mouth, utterly vicious in his eyes.

First deal with Ninetales, who must take the opportunity to defeat, and then deal with the group of uninvited guests.

Weavile's raised claws shone with a metallic luster again, and he stabbed fiercely towards Ninetales, who had completely lost her resistance.

Ninetales, barely opened her eyes, seemed to feel the end of life, and looked at the little Vulpix, two glittering sparkling eyes filled with reluctance and worry.

Although she gave up because little Vulpix was taken hostage, but when she died, little Vulpix's ending would definitely not be any better.

Right now, she was more worried about her child.

"Vuull!!"

Vulpix, who was tightly held in a corner, saw her mother's eyes, looked at the Weavile claws that were about to fall, and screamed desperately.

"Alakazam, Beedrill!"

Natsu, realizing Weavile's intentions, blurted out.

Both Pokémon are naturally ready.

They knew how rare Alolan Ninetales and Alolan Vulpix had been.

How could watching Weavile end it.

The two previously prepared Pokémon disappeared almost simultaneously.

clang!

There was a sound of metal clashing, accompanied by sparks of fire stars.

Weavile stumbled.

He turned his head in disbelief, and stared at Beedrill who had suddenly appeared beside him, and the golden bow still lingering in the air.

How can you be so fast?

Meanwhile.

bang!!

Alakazam with the "Miracle Eye" on his head appears beside Sneasel clutching a small Vulpix, flicking his spoon like a duster.

Sneasel just flew out and hit the ice wall, and the small Vulpix in his hand fell into Alakazam's hands.

Tight and Alakazam blinked again, back at Natsu.

"Vul?"

Little Vulpix was dazed, only feeling that in the twinkling of an eye, he fell into an extremely warm and safe embrace.

As he raised his head with teary eyes, he saw a determined face.

Natsu slowly lowered his head, glanced at the little Vulpix, who was cold but didn't bite to the touch, and said softly: "It's okay."

Natsu felt really good when he held Vulpix, Eevee's soft feel is completely different. Alola Vulpix is ​​so smooth and cool, it's like holding onto soft silk.

"Vuul." Little Vulpix called out lightly, her nose twitching slightly.

Teardrops like pearls, began to fall.

She only felt wronged.

It was clear she and her mother had done nothing, just wanting to stay here quietly, but they were still being watched.

She became a burden to her mother.

She watched her mother being knocked down repeatedly without a fight, but could do nothing about it.

She was so nervous that he almost forgot to breathe.

Now in Natsu's arms, apart from feeling warmth, there was more comfort.

Togekiss and Eevee couldn't help feeling depressed when they saw that they were so wronged.
