Chapter 158 Death Chapter

Chapter 158 Death Replay

Xia Mu had no idea that the biggest gathering place for his future haters was about to be born behind him. After his battle with Trainer Little York, he continued to look for opponents in the Battle Club.

Relying on his newly acquired telepathic abilities, Xia Mu beat countless children until they cried.

Xia Mu then returned to Cattleya's villa.

"I'm back!"

Seeing Xia Mu's smiling face, Zi Deng immediately noticed Xia Mu's joyful mood.

Did anything good happen to you today?

Hehehe!

Xia Mu did not reveal that he had schemed against Xiao Heizi. He knew that he would be scolded if he said such a thing, so Xia Mu avoided the main point.

"My new tactics are perfectly applicable in actual combat!"

Congratulations!

Although they thought Natsuki's tactics were despicable, Zi and the others still congratulated him.

"With superpowers to help you, your videos will definitely become more interesting!"

"Yes, my video."

He does not mean that.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mu's expression froze, and he finally realized a problem.

"Damn it, I'm out of material!"

After uploading all the videos he filmed in Kagome Town to the internet, he had used up all the footage he had shot before, and he needed to come up with something more appealing for the next video.

"Come to think of it, there doesn't seem to be a large gathering place for Grass-type Pokémon around here —"

As Xia Mu flipped through the Pokédex to see the distribution of wild Pokémon in Ripple Town, he frowned.

The Qinghai Pokémon Gym is a Water-type Gym, so the Pokémon that are super effective against Water-type Pokémon are naturally Grass-type and Electric-type.

If there aren't many Grass-type Pokémon around, Xia Mu figured he could only look around to see if there were any large gathering places for Electric-type Pokémon.

Unfortunately, although there are occasional sightings of Electric-type Pokémon, their numbers are too few to be considered as a capture location in the strategy guide.

Therefore, Xia Mu shifted his gaze to the sea.

"If it's not on land, then—it's in the sea!"

Lanternfish and Electric Lanternfish, which have both hydroelectric properties, and the family of small fish that can fly in the air and swim in the water are all great choices.

However, the sea is too vast.

Finding Pokémon habitats in the sea is much more difficult than on land.

"Why don't we just film a video about searching for Electric-type Pokémon?!"

That's what Xia Mu thought, and that's what she did.

In order to earn some time, Xia Mu specially brought photographer Qing Teng She to interview the women.

Haruka, who was secretly eating dessert in the kitchen, exclaimed, "Ah, a quiz? What are you up to now?"

"Never mind what you're doing, just tell me first, do you know which type of Pokémon is super effective against Water-type Pokémon?"

Xiaoyao wiped the crumbs from the corner of her mouth and looked at Xia Mu with a suspicious look.

"Aren't Grass-type and Electric-type Pokémon effective against Water-type Pokémon?"

Considering Xia Mu's character, Xiao Yao always felt that there might be some trap she hadn't noticed in such a basic question.

So Xiaoyao's answer wasn't entirely certain.

But that's enough.

"That's right! Although Xiaoyao lacked confidence in answering such basic questions, showing her ignorance, she still managed to answer correctly. Let's give her a round of applause!"

Clapping!

"Meow meow!"

"Please!"

Seeing Shin-chan and Aoandon clapping happily with Natsuki, Haruka blinked, not quite understanding for a moment.

No?

Is this over?

Where's your trap?!

But at this moment, Xia Mu had already led the Green Vine Snake and the others off to find the next victim.

Watching Natsuki's departing figure, Xiaoyao picked up another cookie, but then thought, "Wait, why isn't he playing a trick on me?!"

Xiaoyao: (·ten)

Leaving aside Haruka, who was too angry to eat any desserts at the moment, Natsuki found Cattleya elegantly drinking black tea on the balcony.

"Ding ding ding ding! Next up to answer the question is the Unova Elite Four member—the Psychic Princess Cattleya!"

Hello everyone!

Cattleya nodded politely at the phone that the Green Vine Serpent was holding up.

At this moment, Xia Mu also asked, "So, Miss Cattleya, as a resident of Ripple Town, do you know if there are any Grass-type or Electric-type Pokémon habitats nearby?"

After taking a sip of her red tea, Cattleya pondered for a moment.

"Wild Electric-type Pokémon are rarely seen around here, but Grass-type Pokémon are quite common in the first half of Route 13 or the second half of Route 14. This is because the area around Ripple Town is mostly ocean and beaches, and most Grass-type Pokémon habitats are near Kagome Town or Black City!"

Xia Mu nodded.

"Very good, thank you for your answer, Miss Cattleya!"

"Look," Xia Mu said, turning to look at the phone that Qing Teng She was holding up.

"Although Miss Cattleya may not understand what 'nearby' means, we do know that there aren't many Grass-type Pokémon gathering places around Ripple Town! So, next!"

Cattleya: ? ? ?

Was this guy just subtly implying that I'm uncultured?!

Cattleya realized something, and her eyes lit up with blue light once again.

However, Xia Mu, who had just flirted with someone and then ran away, had already found his next victim.

"Miss Wanlong, do you know any Electric-type Pokémon that can live in the ocean?"

Wanlong, who was writing a novel in her study, looked up and glanced at Xia Mu standing at the door with a slightly puzzled expression. At this moment, she had the same concerns as Xiaoyao.

However, she seemed more irritable than Haruka when she was having heart attack.

"You've come at the perfect time! Come over here!"

Clearly, she wanted to vent her frustration on Xia Mu.

Xia Mu also keenly noticed this.

Although he didn't know whether Wanlong was planning to kick him or beat him to the ground, Xia Mu decided to stay away from this volatile woman for the time being.

However, before that.

Xia Mu closed the study door in front of Qing Teng She.

"Oh, instead of running away, you closed the door and moved closer to me?!"

Wanlong stood up and stretched his limbs, preparing to show off his skills while also making himself feel good.

but.

"What are you doing?!"

Looking at Xia Mu, who suddenly started tugging at his clothes, Wanlong felt a mixture of confusion and shyness.

Wow, I didn't expect this guy to be wearing leopard-print underwear.

Xia Mu did not answer Wan Long.

"Oh dear, Sister Wanlong, no!"

"This won't work."

Wanlong: ? ? ?

To Wanlong's astonishment, Xia Mu let out a series of affected, coquettish moans, followed by...

Xia Mu, disheveled, flung open the study door.

"Mmm, even though I was wronged by that villain Wanlong—I still brought you the answer to this question: lanternfish, electric light monster, and little mama fish!"

Wanlong: (『『)

You spent so much time coming all this way just to slander me?!

Wanlong was furious, but Xia Mu simply closed the door and ran away.

Only after they finally reached the private beach outside the villa did Xia Mu stare at his phone again and say:

"That's it, so let's go with the principle of proximity and ease!"

"To help everyone find Electric-type Pokémon that are effective against Water when challenging the Gym Leaders in Aobo City, we're launching a new video series called 'Searching for Electric-type Pokémon in the Ocean'!"

"Of course, because Xia Xiaomu already has a Grass-type Pokémon, so—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Mu suddenly shut her mouth and floated straight up into the air.

At the same time, a pretty face suddenly appeared in front of the camera.

"Therefore, the following video is not suitable for children!"

Wanlong smiled smugly, then looked at Xia Mu, who was bound by superpowers, and let out a strange laugh.

"Hehehe, you think you can escape my grasp?"

Xiaoyao also stepped forward.

"If you meet me to my face, you'd better be prepared for retaliation!"

Cattleya was even more ruthless.

Her eyes shone with a blue light.

"Today I'm going to show you what cruelty really is!"

Xiaoyao, Jiadeliya, and Wanlong surrounded Xia Mu, their faces bearing chillingly dangerous smiles.
