Chapter 358 The Handsome Xia Mu and the Strange-Colored Charcoal Servant

"What's wrong?"

"There's a ghost~"

Upon hearing Xia Mu's response, the girls exchanged glances and then looked at the trembling Xia Mu with utterly speechless expressions.

"You rascal—are you planning to sneak into our room in the middle of the night under the pretense of ghosts? And you'll say things like 'I'm scared' and stuff like that—"

"That must be it!"

"That's how Natsuki is!"

The three women immediately reached a consensus.

Faced with such an unjust accusation, Xia Mu immediately crawled out of the quilt seal in anger.

"While I have indeed had such thoughts, I'm a person of my word. If I say there are ghosts, then there are ghosts. If you don't believe me, go out and see for yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao immediately stood up.

"Fine, I'll see! I just don't believe in ghosts!"

As she spoke, Xiaoyao walked to the door, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened it.

Whoosh!

"Fu~~"

A strange light floated beside it, and Zhenyi, with a resentful expression, hovered at the doorway, looking dead, trying to scare Xiaoyao to death.

However, Xiaoyao, who was already prepared, immediately showed a deadpan expression after seeing this scene.

"this one?"

"Huh?!"

Feeling insulted, Zhenyi's eyes widened immediately.

It was only because the cat reacted quickly and stopped Zhenyifa that the hot-tempered Zhenyifa was able to teach Xiaoyao a lesson about what it means to have trouble with one's words. Because of the cat's intervention, Zhenyifa could only glare angrily at Xiamu.

I told you I didn't know how, but you kept urging me—

Zhenyi cursed and swore as he crawled into the Poké Ball.

Seeing this, Zi Yu and Nemo's expressions became extremely strange.

"When did you release Zhenyi?"

"—Huh?!"

Actually, Xia Mu realized what was happening as soon as he crawled into bed.

He hadn't actually encountered a ghost before; rather, he'd met a man with hemorrhoids in an inappropriate atmosphere. However, considering that he could use the excuse of seeing a ghost to get close to Xiaoyao and the others, Xia Mu put his mind to work. After Xiaoyao guessed his thoughts, he secretly used telepathy to have Zhenyi use the Spirit Ambush to scare them.

result----

Who would have thought that Winged Fly, a Ghost-type Pokémon, would be so lacking in talent when it comes to scaring people?

Amidst the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Xia Mu stubbornly refused to admit defeat.

"What's wrong? Haven't you ever seen a handsome guy joke around before?!"

Amidst the speechless gazes of everyone, Xia Muxiong strode out of bed and walked out of the room.

"I need to use the restroom first—"

However, the few people who were watching Xia Mu leave with speechless expressions did not notice that as Xia Mu left, a figure outside the window also quietly disappeared.

"Snow~"

When Xiaoyao and the others became puzzled by Xia Mu's prolonged absence, they pushed open the door and saw a familiar figure frozen in ice.

"Natsuki?!"

Beside Natsuki was a Pokémon that looked like it was wearing a white kimono.

"This is... the Snow Fairy?"

May, who had learned about the two evolutions of Snorunt from Ash's Glalie, immediately screamed in surprise.

Just as Xiaoyao screamed, her Rotom phone immediately floated up.

Froslass, the Pokémon of the Snow Country, uses her cold air to freeze any handsome men or Pokémon she fancy, then takes them back to her lair as decorations. Legend says she can cast spells to kill men who misbehave, making her a terrifying figure.

Xiaoyao's Rotom phone once again served to answer everyone's questions.

The group wasn't sure whether the Snow Fairy was interested in Xia Mu or thought his behavior was inappropriate, but seeing Xia Mu trapped in the ice with one hand inside his crotch as if he were scratching an itch, they acted swiftly.

"Blazing Chicken!"

"Dragon-headed groundhog!"

"Steel Cannon Arm Shrimp!"

"Meow!"

Amidst the cat's angry shouts, everyone rushed forward, ready to snatch Xia Mu back.

However, the Snow Fairy reacted exceptionally quickly. After seeing Xiaoyao and the others come out of the room, she hid behind Natsuki and used a powerful blizzard skill to block everyone's attack.

In the confined space, the blizzard's effect was particularly powerful, even causing the cat, which was jumping in mid-air, to be blown backward by the strong wind.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Snow Fairy immediately used her powerful mental energy to pick up Xia Mu and escape through the corridor window, disappearing into the night.

Seeing this, the cat, who had just regained its footing, immediately smashed through the window and rushed out.

"Meowha (Give Natsuki back!!)"

As the cat's figure quickly disappeared from sight, Nemo and Xiaoyao also quickly prepared to give chase, but seeing the thin disposable slippers on their feet and the yukatas on their bodies, Ziyu immediately stopped the two impatient girls.

"Don't rush, we don't know how long we'll have to chase each other in the snow, let's change our clothes first—"

"Um!"

"good!"

Knowing that Ziyu's suggestion was reasonable, Xiaoyao and Nemo rushed into the room without saying a word. Seeing this, Ziyu immediately took out her phone to contact Officer Jenny nearby and ask her to mobilize manpower to search for Xia Mu's whereabouts.

At that moment, other guests and guesthouse staff who had come out after hearing the noise outside also looked at Ziyu with confusion after seeing the broken window.

"What just happened?"

"My companion has been kidnapped by the Snow Fairy!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, but seeing Zi Yu's furrowed brows and anxious expression, they immediately took out their Poké Balls.

"Great Electric Petal, go help find that snow fairy and the human!"

"Warrior Eagles!"

"Corvus Arow!"

"King Swallow —"

Trainers with Flying-type Pokémon immediately released their Pokémon to help with the search, while other guests without Flying-type Pokémon went directly to other rooms to ask for help.

then.

"Help! Someone's been captured by the Snow Fairy!"

"A handsome man has been captured by the Snow Fairy?!"

"The Snow Fairy has gone to capture people to lay eggs, and those captured were all drained dry when they were discovered."

In short, amidst this commotion, trainers and staff at nearby guesthouses, police officers on duty nearby, and even Gurusha and others at the speed skating rink all received information that someone had been abducted by Froslass and began rescue operations.

"A snow fairy broke into a guesthouse and kidnapped people?!"

As the local Gym Leader of Mt. Frosty, Gurusa has also participated in activities such as searching for lost tourists and investigating the survival of wild Pokémon in the surrounding area to prevent them from harming humans.

Therefore, Gurusha has an exceptional understanding of the distribution of wild Pokémon near Mt. Frost and is also very clear about the habitats of the powerful Pokémon living in Mt. Frost.

Therefore, upon hearing the news that a powerful snow fairy had abducted humans, although Gurusha did not know why a snow fairy would do such a thing, he immediately thought of a snow fairy clan that lived in a cave near the watchtower on the east side of Frostbite Mountain.

"The Bluebird of Tanabata!"

After sending out his strongest Pokémon, Glussa immediately mounted Altaria and headed towards his home.

Just as the people near the guesthouse were taking action because of Xia Mu, the cat was standing on a big tree, twitching her pink little nose.

"Meow (This way————)"

After finding Natsuki's location by following the scent of grassy fragrance carried on the wind, which was a mixture of her own and Snake Sister's, Cat immediately jumped down from the big tree.

As the cat landed and stepped onto the snow, a clump of lush green grass immediately appeared at her feet.

Swish!

Swish!

After each jump and landing, green grass appears under the cat's feet, and each time the cat jumps away from this grass, its movement speed becomes increasingly astonishing.

In order to catch up with Natsuki, the impatient cat mastered a special technique of using the Grass-Cut skill repeatedly to increase its movement speed. This technique not only allowed the cat to quickly catch up with Natsuki in the snowy environment, but also gave the flying-type Pokémon in the air a direction to track it.

However, at this moment, Froslass didn't care about the humans and Pokémon following closely behind her. While using Psychic to maintain Natsuki's body, she glared at the frozen Natsuki with a hint of annoyance.

After all, while the ice had trapped Xia Mu's body, it couldn't trap his soul. So, under the influence of telepathy, Xia Mu began to harass the snow fairy in front of him who had suddenly frozen him while he was scratching an itch.

Why did you capture me? Are you going to lay eggs with me? I think a warm environment is better for laying eggs! By the way, my hands and my magic ball are freezing cold. Could you thaw them first so I can change positions? If we're going to lay eggs, my magic ball needs to be healthy too—

Snow Fairy never imagined that someone would talk nonsense to this extent, nor did she expect that someone could still use superpowers to communicate with her even after being frozen in the air.

The snow fairy felt extremely regretful at the thought that she had chosen such a guy.

Once this is all done, let's get rid of this guy!

Having made up her mind, the Snow Fairy increased her movement speed.

In the eastern part of Frostbite Mountain, there are two Pokémon groups that are most famous.

On one side is the Snow Fairy Clan, led by the Snow Fairy and possessing a large number of Snow Children, while on the other side is the Tanjiro Clan, led by the Azure Flame Blade Demon.

Although the Tanjiro family are Fire-type Pokémon, in places like Mt. Frosty, where people like to use charcoal for warmth, Tanjiro, as a Pokémon whose life is born from charcoal, will occasionally appear here.

However, as time passed and they developed a preference for warmer environments, the Azure Flame Blade Demon clan gradually shifted their territory to the border area between Frostbite Mountain and Mark Forest.

Facing the Ice-type Pokémon in the snowy mountains and the Grass-type and Bug-type Pokémon in the forest, the Fire-type Blademaster clan has a great advantage, and as a result, the number of Blademaster Samurai is increasing.

However, not long ago, unusually frequent disturbances occurred in the Sigil Forest, which led many Pokémon that originally lived in the Sigil Forest to choose to move. Under such circumstances, Blademaster led its people back to the snowy forest in the eastern part of Frostbite Mountain.

However, this provoked a protest from the Snow Fairy Clan, who originally occupied the entire east. After several clan wars, the Azure Flame Blade Demon and the Snow Fairy Clan were unwilling to continue the futile fighting, so they chose to use a special method.

It imitates the method of humans capturing Pokémon to fight, with one person capturing a human and comparing them in terms of appearance, physical strength, and other aspects.

So, the Snow Fairy came to the town from the east and kidnapped Natsuki, a handsome young man who was flirting with other girls everywhere, while the Azure Flame Blade Demon went to the familiar Mark Forest to capture the human leader who had built a base in the Mark Forest in the past.

However, on his way back with his prey, Azure Blade Demon spotted a human who looked even better, so he immediately switched targets and attacked the idiot who was flying in the sky in the middle of the night riding a Pokémon.

therefore.

Natsuki and Gurusha's first meeting took place under these circumstances.

In a vast cave, surrounded by a large number of Tanjiro and Yukidouji, Natsuki, frozen into an ice block, meets Gurusha, whose neck is held by the bladed arm of the Azure Flame Demon.

As someone who had seen the Gurusha wrench joke online, Xia Mu immediately recognized the other person's identity. And looking at Xia Mu opposite him, as a long-time fan of Qi Shu, he also recognized Xia Mu's identity at first glance.

[Xia Mu?! Is he the human who was captured by the Snow Fairy?]

While Blademaster and Froslass were talking, Gurusa glanced at Natsuki, who was frozen solid, and then at the large number of Pokémon around him. He decided to temporarily suppress the idea of ​​having the Pokémon take action.

[Evacuation is inconvenient; we still need to find an opportunity—]

However, at this moment, Azure Flame Blade Demon was unaware of Gurusha's thoughts. After talking with Snow Fairy for a moment, he immediately waved his hand, and then a Charcoal Servant with one eye burning with blue flames and a tall Charcoal Servant with one eye burning with orange-red flames walked out from among the large number of Charcoal Servant.

"Charcoal~"

Under the careful and gentle sparks of the two Tanjiro servants, Natsuki successfully thawed. As his wet clothes were gently dried by the Tanjiro servants, Natsuki looked at Grusha across from him, whose nose was red from the cold, and smiled smugly.

"Hehehe, looks like I'm getting better treatment after all —"

Looking at Xia Mu, who was so cold that he seemed to fight with his teeth five or six times to say a single sentence, Gurusha couldn't help but widen his eyes.

[Is he... because he has a charcoal servant to keep him warm?! Is this guy crazy? Saying something like that in this situation?!]

Although he had seen Xia Mu's unreliable behavior in Qi Shu's live streams, he never expected that Xia Mu would feel proud of such a thing in a situation that could be described as a life-threatening one.

With the help of the two charcoal servants, Natsuki's body also warmed up.

After pulling out the energy cube he had used to tease the cat while it was playing with a ball of yarn from his pocket, Xia Mu immediately began his kidnapping.

"Brother, I have lots of delicious food here! Do you want to come with me? I also have armor blessed by the God of Dreams and the God of Nightmares. You'll definitely become super strong after you evolve!"

While touching Tan Xiaoshi's warm helmet, Xia Mu stuffed energy cubes into their hands.

Seeing Natsuki's overly familiar manner and even his attempt to pry open his legs to see what was going on, the two Tanji, who had little contact with humans, immediately looked at their leader father not far away with pleading eyes.

"Charcoal!!" 2

Seeing this, not only Gurusha, but also Blaze, Froslass, and the other Pokémon couldn't help but look at this unconventional human with shocked eyes.

Is this human's brain frozen solid?!

This idea appeared simultaneously in the minds of all the Pokémon and Grosha.

However, Blademaster was a well-informed Pokémon after all. Although he was shocked by Natsuki's words, after taking a deep look at Natsuki, he still waved his hand to let the two Charcoal Spawns, who had already been embraced by Natsuki, leave.

"Hey~ give me another hug~~"

While Natsuki was haggling with Azure Flame Blade Demon, Haruka and her friends, while searching for Natsuki in the snowy mountains outside the cave, encountered a boy dressed as a ninja walking shivering in the snow.

"What's going on? You suddenly grabbed me, and then when you saw Mr. Gurusha on the way, you discarded me like trash. Is this Azure Flame Blade Demon insane?!"

Upon hearing the boy's self-pitying mutterings, Xiaoyao, who had initially thought he was also a kind-hearted person who had come to help, immediately stepped forward anxiously.

"You said you were kidnapped by a Pokémon? Did you see a boy being abducted by a Froslass? Which way did Mr. Glucha go?!"

Xiaoyao's series of questions stunned the boy named Qiuming in front of her.
