Crossover Anime: Starting with Adopting the Homeless Melon God

It even deals more damage in combo attacks and gains more experience than Dratini, yet it still shows no signs of evolving.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Ponyta needs to reach level 40 to evolve into Rapidash, which is twice as high a level as Magikarp needs to evolve into Gyarados."

After nightfall, Kitagawa Yu and his group did not continue fighting monsters.

The main reason is that the Pokémon have been fighting all day and need to eat and rest.

Elena then took out a tent, which was also enchanted with spatial magic, from her magic pocket and placed it in a clearing in the forest.

The space inside this tent, while not as large as the one in the Harry Potter world that was enchanted with the Unseen Stretching Charm, is still over twenty square meters, enough for six people to sleep in.

"Artoria, go feed the little Ponyta and Dragonite. Chizuka and I will take care of starting the fire and cooking."

As he spoke, Kitagawa Yu had already taken out his Nichirin Blade and swiftly chopped a nearby tree, as thick as a bucket, into dozens of firewood sticks as thick as an arm, which he then piled aside.

Then, they summoned Growlithe and used Flamethrower to start a campfire.

Meanwhile, Chizuka had already taken out a complete set of pots and pans, as well as the ingredients she planned to use that night, from a magic pouch that Elena had specially made for her.

It has to be said that with magic and Pokémon, even traveling and camping are very convenient.

Soon, the rich aroma, accompanied by the orange-red flames, spread far and wide.

To their surprise, whether it was because Chizuka's food was so delicious or because the Pokémon here were often fed by the keeper, quite a few Pokémon actually came running over following the aroma.

Among them, the most numerous are the monkey monster, the fiery monkey, and the moth that never enters the world.

Of course, the moths were probably attracted by the firelight, not the fragrance, since moths fly towards a flame.

However, once they did that, they didn't hold back.

Seeing the monkey monster sneaking towards the stew pot, seemingly intent on stealing the pot and its food, Kitagawa Yu immediately commanded Hakuryu to sweep its tail across the pot, sending the monkey monster flying.

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. All the monkey monsters and fiery monkeys around them were enraged. Regardless of whether they could win, they rushed forward in a swarm, as if they would resort to outright robbery if they couldn't steal it.

However, this time they clearly chose the wrong opponent.

"Ralts, use Charm and Hypnosis!"

"Miao Miao, why don't you use hypnosis too?"

"Little Ponyta, use high-speed movement and ramming attacks!"

To avoid affecting the freshly prepared food and the nearby tents, Kitagawa and his companions did not, as they had done during the day, have the two Dragonairs work together to create a tornado that would suck up all the Mankey monsters, including the Primal Rising and other Pokémon in the vicinity, and wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

However, under Ralts and Meowth's hypnosis and charm, these Pokémon weren't much better off. Those with lower resistances fell asleep on the spot, while those with higher resistances staggered like they were drunk, completely losing their ability to battle.

The four Ponyta, now moving at high speed, under Artoria's command, continuously launched ramming attacks on the Pokémon that couldn't fight back. While knocking these Pokémon away, they also gained experience.

As for the remaining Chizuka, although she didn't command Chizuka and Emolga to join the battle, she kept looking around and threw Poké Balls at any Pokémon she saw that were relatively valuable.

After using up all six spots, he then directed Illya and Sakura to capture them.

In less than five minutes, all the surrounding Pokémon were cleared out, and the highest level among the Ponyta had reached level 36, one step closer to evolving into Rapidash.

However, just as Ralts and Meowth stopped using Charm and Hypnosis, and Artoria had just summoned Ponyta back, two more missiles suddenly shot towards their location from behind a large tree shrouded in darkness in the distance.

"Team Rocket?"

Kitagawa Yu immediately thought of Kojiro and the others.

This is understandable. In this harmonious and loving world, the only ones who would use such an exaggerated weapon as a missile and appear here are Musashi and Kojiro.

The most advantageous thing is that, at a distance of only thirty meters, apart from the two people and the cat who have the 'concealment' buff under the blessing of the world's will, there shouldn't be anyone else who can hide from the perception of so many people.

"Why are these three guys targeting us?"

"Shouldn't their targets be Ash and Pikachu?"

"Could it be that they recognized us because we stole a year's salary from them?"

Various thoughts flashed through Kitagawa Yu's mind as his right hand rested on the hilt of his Nichirin Blade.

Although the missiles used by Kojiro and his friends are usually not very powerful, just rather strange, it's better to be safe than sorry. His life or death is related to the safety of Artoria and the others, so they must be extremely cautious.

However, someone was faster than her this time.

Sakura frowned, and two pitch-black gates, from which even light could not escape, suddenly appeared in front of the missiles, swallowing them whole.

It must be said that, with her ability to actively embrace herself and with Elena's careful guidance, she has become increasingly proficient in manipulating the imaginary space.

"Huh?! What's that? Where are our missiles?!"

A familiar voice came from behind the tree. Even if Kitagawa Yu didn't look at the three heads that had just peeked out, he could be sure that it was Kojiro and his group who had just launched the sneak attack.

"It's those three again! They really never learn!"

Elena stood up, glaring at Musashi and Kojiro with displeasure, a magic wand appearing out of thin air in her hand.

For a powerful witch like her, she doesn't need a wand when casting spells normally, but once she uses a wand, it means she's serious or angry.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Musashi and Kojiro were clearly unaware of the impending danger. Seeing that their missile attack had failed, they threw the rocket launcher on the ground and arrogantly jumped out from behind the tree.

"Give us our wages!"

"That's right! You guys not only stole our lines, but you also stole our salaries! It's outrageous!"

"That's right! Meow!"

Upon hearing this, Elena immediately let out a disdainful snort.

"Why should I return the money I earned through my own abilities?"

"!!!"

Kojiro and his two companions were almost furious.

Shouldn't they be the ones saying these things normally? Who's the real villain here?

"Double-shot gas! Activate gas injection—"

As soon as Kojiro spoke, the doubles gas, which had already been quietly lurking above Kitagawa Yu and his group of six, immediately spewed out thick black gas, enveloping them.

"Has this guy gotten smarter? He actually knows how to use a feint attack now!"

"But this Concealing Breath buff is really annoying!"

"If this were in another world, how could someone the size of a dual-explosive gas bomb, flying over so slowly, not be detected?"

Kitagawa Yu let out a disgruntled snort, then commanded the Hakuryu to unleash a tornado.

In an instant, all the gas, including the double-explosive gas, was sucked into the tornado and crashed towards Kojiro and the others.

Clearly, they had only witnessed the fire vortex of the Charizard, but not the monster-hunting process that Kitagawa Yu and his friends were going through today.

In fact, they originally came to the Wild Area to steal some Pokémon to sell, but they were attracted by the light of the campfire lit by Kitagawa Yu and his friends, and then they discovered and recognized Kitagawa Yu and his friends, and made the decision to ambush them on the spot.

So they really didn't know that Kitagawa Yu and his group could also launch a tornado to break through the gas attack of the double-bullet gas.

However, they could now guess what would happen next.

"Little Ponyta, thank you for your hard work. Use Flame Vortex again to send them on their way—"

Artoria stroked the little fire horse's fiery fur and said with a smile.

However, Elena quickly said, "No need to trouble Little Pony, I'll do it!"

Chapter 223 I should have known better than to scare them away

Before she finished speaking, Elena had already unleashed a massive pillar of fire from her wand, a feat that would put even a fire-breathing dragon to shame.

The next second, the tornado column, which had been blackened by gas, was ignited by flames, followed by a huge explosion. The night seemed to turn into day, and countless Pokémon were startled and fled in panic.

Meanwhile, Kojiro and his companions were engulfed in flames with expressions of terror. If it weren't for the fact that the flames were from a double-explosive gas attack, which was still within the protection range of the world's rules, the two of them and the cat would probably have been blown to pieces in an instant.

Even so, they were not in a good position. This explosion was the most powerful and the one that injured them the most among all their defeats. Before the firelight had died down, the two of them and the cat flew into the night sky, their bodies completely black. In the blink of an eye, they turned into stars and disappeared without a trace. Even Kitagawa Yu's superhuman eyesight could not see them.

Wow! That should be able to fly at least several tens of kilometers, right?

"Hopefully they'll learn a lesson."

"I think we can set up a defensive barrier outside our tent later."

"Okay, let's eat first, and then we can set it up after dinner."

Perhaps they scared all the Pokémon around them, because no matter how tempting the aroma was, not a single Pokémon dared to come near them while Kitagawa and the others were eating.

Halfway through the meal, the administrator, who had woken up from his slumber, came looking for them after hearing the noise.

Upon seeing Kitagawa Yu and his group, this guy was so angry that his hair stood on end. If Kitagawa Yu hadn't twisted his double-barreled shotgun into a pretzel, he might have fired right then and there.

But then he saw two Hakkarosaurus eating, and his jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

"Ha... Hakron?!"

"That's right, these are the evolutions of those two Minidragons~"

"Two?"

"Oh, I forgot, you didn't know, did you? There aren't just one, there are two mini-dragons in Dragon Valley!"

"."

The administrator wore a very complicated expression as he watched the two Dragonair happily eating their Pokémon food.

If he had known that these two Dratini loved this Pokémon food so much, he would have gone over to feed them every day. Would he have been able to catch the Dratini then?

On the other hand, Elena wasn't going to indulge him.

Seeing that he was still standing there, and that he was emitting a strong burnt smell, they used another hypnotic spell to make him go back to the management office to continue sleeping like a puppet.

After the meal, Elena set up a magical barrier around the camp and dispersed any bystanders.

Silent all night.

Thanks to the protection of the magical barrier, they were not disturbed at all throughout the night and slept soundly until dawn.

Afterwards, everyone got up, washed up, had a simple breakfast, and continued their leveling journey.

Of course, making money was equally important, so the six of them didn't linger in the wilderness for too long. They simply pushed their way through the area towards the Grand Canyon.

Then the Pokémon along the way suffered again.

Weak Pokémon like Caterpie and Weedle are generally too much for higher-level trainers to bother training.

Just like Kitagawa Yu and his friends, they didn't let go of even the weakest Pokémon they encountered. After all, even the weakest Pokémon wouldn't be much weaker than a Bubble Squirrel or a Lilligant, right?
