Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

Furthermore, the Water-type moves are effective against the Fire-type Monkey, causing Monkey to immediately collapse and become unable to get up.

[Froggy Frog defeated Explosive Monkey, gaining 67 experience points.]

"Quack!"

The Froggy Frog looked at the remaining Fragrant Monkey, who was terrified by the Froggy Frog and dared not meet its gaze.

They hurriedly fled into the depths of the jungle.

"Froggy Frog, Water Shuriken!"

The Froggy Frog's Water Shuriken reappeared, instantly killing the Exploding Monkey.

[Froggy Frog defeated Explosive Monkey, gaining 47 experience points.]

"Well done, Frog! Come back for dinner."

Shang Qiu enthusiastically tore off another wing and handed it to the Froakie, showing no remorse for killing two Pokémon.

These are social animals; killing one means disturbing the whole colony. They absolutely cannot be allowed to go back and report.

Besides, these monkeys are not worth pitying at all.

After eating and drinking their fill, Shang Qiu continued on their journey with Gible and Froakie.

[Ding! Froggy Frog defeated Explosive Monkey, gaining 135 experience points.]

[Ding! Gible defeated Sizzling Monkey, gaining 167 experience points.]

[Ding! Froakie defeated Spearow, gaining 78 experience points.]

【...】

[Ding! Froakie is attracted by Pikachu.]

"Huh, something strange has gotten mixed in?"

Froakie was attracted by a Pikachu's tail, and the two Pokémon started playing together.

The Froakie even tried to pluck a handful of foam to give to Pikachu, but Pikachu rejected it.

As expected, Pikachu is a social butterfly, just like in the anime...

Gible took the bubble from Froakie's hand that it hadn't given away and carefully put it into the gourd.

"Hoohoo!"

This is a bubble that the frog picked off on its own initiative, so we should treasure it!

Forget about continuing to play with Pikachu, Froakie grabbed Shangqiu and chased after Gible.

"Stop messing around, we still need to upgrade!"

In the end, the two elves heeded Shangqiu's advice and stopped playing around.

The main problem is that Gibles are uncivilized and burrow underground all the time, while Froakie is afraid that Shangqiu is in danger and dares not go down to chase Gibles.

As darkness began to fall, Shang Qiu decided to set up camp.

The secret realm is more dangerous at night than during the day, as many wild elves hunt at night, so it is not advisable to venture out.

After walking for a while, they chose a habitat for trumpet buds. Shang Qiu set up the tent and prepared canned food, energy cubes, and other food for the frogs and giblets.

Just look at these docile trumpet buds and the timid mukes that won't attack humans, and you'll know how nasty the monkeys here are.

The monkey population here is large, and they are skilled at disposing of bodies after killing people, so they can survive until now without being discovered by humans.

Otherwise, they would have been cleared away by the forest rangers long ago!

But since Shang Qiu already knew about the monkeys' atrocities through the script, he certainly couldn't leave them a way out.

"Tomorrow we'll go and slaughter the monkey's den to rid the future newlyweds of this menace!"

Thanks to the Z-alloy tent, Shang Qiu and the two elves slept soundly until the sun was high in the sky.

"It's really impressive to be rich." Shang Qiu leisurely prepared breakfast for the elf while remarking.

If it weren't for the tent Chu Mengyao gave him, he would never be sleeping so comfortably right now.

Suddenly, eating something soft doesn't seem so bad anymore...

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Shang Qiu greeted the nearby trumpet buds and then placed a tree fruit on the ground as payment for his lodging the previous day.

I hadn't gone far when I heard Trumpet Sprout's screams from behind me.

"Froggy Frog, go see what happened!"

After saying that, Shang Qiu followed closely behind the croaking frog and ran towards the habitat of the trumpet bud.

Battles and territorial disputes also occur between elves.

But the trumpet bud is usually a docile sprite; it must have been bullied!

Sure enough, it's fried monkey jerky again!

"Squeak!"

A flaming monkey skillfully snatched the tree fruit from Trumpet Sprout's hand, its fist covered in flames, and punched Trumpet Sprout's head again and again.

The little trumpet sprout was crying as it was beaten, and it looked like it was about to be beaten to death, but the trumpet sprouts around it were also firmly held to the ground by several exploding monkeys, so it was impossible for it to go over and help.

The only remaining Politoed was also defeated due to type advantage, leaving them helpless against these Sizzlings.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

Just one tree fruit almost killed these trumpet buds!

"Croak-Croak Frog, go!"

The frog, who had been unable to contain itself for a long time, heard Shang Qiu's command and its legs sprang like springs, propelling the frog forward in an instant.

"Use the Water Shuriken!"

The Frog Frog immediately unleashed five flying water shurikens, shooting five bloody holes into the Exploding Monkey that was bullying the Little Trumpet Sprout.

Upon seeing their companion killed, the other Exploding Scent Monkeys stopped watching Trumpet Sprout and the others, and charged straight at Froggy Bubble Frog.

Several of the Exploding Monkeys didn't run away; instead, they stayed in place and used Spark on the Froggy Frog.

"Froggy Frog, use your jump to dodge their attacks."

The croaking frog instantly sprang into the air, leaping high into the sky to avoid all the sparks.

Meanwhile, the monkeys were getting closer and closer.

"Gible, use Quicksand Hell!"

"Roar!"

The Gible swung its claws, stirring up a sandstorm that covered all the charging Sizzling Monkeys.

[Quicksand Hell: Traps opponents in a massive sandstorm, dealing continuous damage over time.]

Because Ground-type has a double advantage over Fire-type, the monkeys were utterly thrashed by Gible's Sand Inferno.

Screams of agony echoed from the monkey troop, a far cry from their initial arrogance.

"Quack!"

Seeing the Gible stealing the show, the Froakie couldn't resist accelerating its descent from the sky, heading straight for the largest, the Exploding Monkey.

"boom!"

The powerful impact caused the Exploding Monkey, attacked by the Froggy Frog, to be driven straight into the ground. The trumpet buds struggled to their feet and began to punch and kick the Exploding Monkey.

"Gible, use Sword Dance, then follow up with Sand Hell!"

Seeing that the monkeys had completely lost their senses, Shang Qiu seized the opportunity to use another ranged combo to take them all down.

[Ding! Froakie and Gible have defeated a troop of monkeys and gained a large amount of experience.]

[Ding! Froggy has leveled up to level 8.]

[Ding! Froggy has leveled up to level 9.]

[The Froakie learns the skill: Quick Attack.]

Gible remains unchanged at level 7.

As a pseudo-legendary, Gible levels up too slowly!

Just as Shang Qiu was about to check out the upgraded Froggy Frog, he suddenly felt something tugging at his trouser leg.

Looking down, I saw a trumpet bud holding a crystal-clear stone!

Chapter 23 Poachers

"You're going to give me this stone?"

The stone in Trumpet Sprout's hand gleamed with a beautiful, eerie blue light; it was clearly a high-grade water stone.

In this world, a high-grade water stone is worth tens of millions, and it's unexpected that these trumpet buds would have such a treasure.

This trip to the secret realm was so worthwhile!

"bud!"

Bellflower nodded, placed the Water Stone in Shangqiu's hand, and quickly left to take care of the injured Blade of the Mouth.

Shang Qiu watched the trumpet bud walk away and then instructed the croaking frog to deliver some medicine for its wounds.

Meanwhile, he and the Gible waited in place to prevent the Bellsprouts from getting scared.

It's worth mentioning that the trumpet sprout I just gave to Shang Qiushui has good aptitude, with both attack and speed at maximum, making it a qualified dual-wielder.

Its potential has even reached the level of a museum owner, surpassing the Warm Pig that Chen Tian lost.

However, Bellsprout has a very low racial potential, so Shangqiu did not consider taming it.

They can't use what they've taken back, and they can't sell it either.

In order to prevent the illegal sale of Pokémon, the Alliance of this world enacted the "Pokémon Protection Law".

A relatively inexpensive Pokémon could result in a fine of millions, and only professional poachers would sell Pokémon illegally; ordinary people would never go looking for such trouble.

"Boom, boom boom!"
