Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 87 Taijing Ponpon, the Qualification to Subdue the Moon Bear

Mingyou looked helplessly at the Blood Moon, but just then, Pengpeng, who had been crying beside her, held back her tears and picked up a thorny vine stick.

This sudden scene was also witnessed by the remaining people present, and the Rocket trio, who were thinking about how to escape, were also stunned.

"It still wants to fight!"

"No way? He's still injured, how could he possibly win..."

"Run, meow!"

But no matter how they tried to persuade her, Ponpo stood in front of Mingyou, using her indomitable spirit to face the Heyue Bear's attack head-on... facing the monster that she had always been afraid of because of prejudice.

Although it's now known to be a misunderstanding, and that Heyue Bear has always been a good bear, the other party has had a similar experience, but...

It's not a ghost, and the Moon Bear isn't a monster!

"Mmm!"

Despite its pain, Ponpo became serious. These were the principles that Mingyou had taught it. Mingyou had always told it that it wasn't a ghost, so it wanted to share these principles with Heyue Bear, together with Mingyou!

"That's right... Only human prejudice is the real demon and monster!"

Despite his pain, Mingyou stood up. Seeing Pengpeng's seriousness, how could he continue to lie there? Besides, as a family member, he had to stand by Pengpeng's side and face this together with the child!

"bring it on!"

"Awooo!"

The Moon Bear roared and fired a Blood Moon from its forehead. But at that moment, the Deer with the horned horn suddenly appeared in the middle and used its barrier to forcefully block the Blood Moon, but the effect was not very good.

It can only buy time...

However, Ponpo and Mingyou did not take the opportunity to dodge. The surrounding Taijing particles swirled around them, and at that moment, the green grass mask in Miaomiao's hand in the distance suddenly shone brightly!

"The mask is glowing, meow!"

"I understand, the mask belongs to that child, and this is a call for us to return it!"

"How are we going to pay it back...?"

"Soras..."

They exchanged glances, then simultaneously burst from the bushes, holding up their grass masks and shouting, "Come on, masks! Here you go!"

"Thanks!"

Mingyou reached out and took the mask, then personally handed it back to Pengpeng, smiling: "I got the most important mask back. Don't lose it again next time~"

"Mmm~"

Ponpon nodded happily. At that moment, the monstrous horned deer was no match for the crimson moon bear and was sent flying by the blood moon. The powerful beam of light, full of destructive force, enveloped them in an instant...

"don't want!"

Xiao Zhao stopped in her tracks, staring in disbelief at the scene before her, witnessing the loss she feared most...

But the next second, the surrounding crystalline energy suddenly surged, the mist dispersed, the leaves began to shake violently, and the crystalline particles formed a storm tornado, which finally exploded, completely shattering the Blood Moon of the Moon Bear!

"What happened?"

Everyone looked over in surprise, only to see the blood moon dissipate, revealing a huge mask blocking the way. Twisted vines extended from the sides of the mask, and two crystal-like tentacles extended from its forehead. The mask's face seemed to be very happy, bursting into laughter!

"Mmm!"

The Green Grass Mask shielded Ponpo, whose body was covered in crystal, and Mingyou behind it...

[Taijinghua Evil Phantom (Green Grass Mask): A mask Pokémon, its reflection shimmering, carrying memories in its heart, transformed into power. It can no longer increase affection, because it loves you the most.]

"Is this your power...?"

Mingyou smiled with relief, as if seeing her child finally grow up. Then she took a deep breath, waved her hand, and shouted, "Let's go! Change it back!"

"Mmm!"

Despite wearing a huge mask, Ponpo's speed did not decrease at all; in fact, it became even faster. Just as the Moon Bear was about to attack again, it picked up the thorny vine club and slammed it heavily on the bear's head, with remarkable effect!

"Awooo..."

The out-of-control Heyue Bear sat on the ground, clutching its head, but at that moment, the brilliance of Taijing had already enveloped it. Ponpo was using its own power to make the other party remember itself and then return to normal.

But the maddened roar of the Moon Bear caused these crystal particles to spread outwards, and within a certain range, all those who still had consciousness were enveloped by these crystal particles...

In a daze, they seemed to see something—a memory belonging to Heyue Xiong. Although it was very blurry, as if it were shielded by some unspeakable force, they could still see some of it.

They saw each other a hundred years ago, after the trainer passed away, bidding farewell to the Greenland region where humans and Pokémon had lived in harmony, because it wanted to continue its trainer's dream.

Crossing the sea, we arrived at Beishang Township, a place full of prejudice against outsiders, with extremely backward thinking and a strong belief in superstition. They were terrified and disgusted by anything that appeared near the village.

One day, a child in the village ran away while playing and was carried off by a large wolfhound. The dog saw this and rescued the child who had been bitten and was unconscious. As a result, the villagers who came looking for the child mistook it for a man-eating monster.

Faced with the villagers' attempts to drive it away, it had no choice but to leave. It accidentally discovered the existence of the Night Demon, so it simply settled down in the Eternal Forest to intimidate the demon and also instill fear in the villagers.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye. As a Moon Bear, it shouldn't have been able to survive for so long, but it once received some kind of mysterious protection.

Not only did their lifespan increase, but they also gradually evolved under the influence of the Evergreen Forest environment, gaining the power to target Ghost-type Pokémon.

Even though so many years have passed and the memories of the past have long since faded, it has never forgotten its mission, the comrades who fought alongside it, and the dreams of the departed trainers...

This is the memory of Ursaring. It is not a monster, but silently endures all of this. Its trainer's dream is to one day see humans and Pokémon truly coexist harmoniously and live together in this vast world.

A silence gradually fell over the scene. Candila couldn't help but shout, "I can't take it anymore! You guys from Beishang Township are infuriating!"

"That's right, whether it's this bear or that child, they're both so pitiful..."

The three members of Team Rocket hugged each other and cried, while Muramasa fell silent. Only Xiaozhao looked on in disbelief... She saw it, she saw the blurry figure of the Ursaring trainer.

But that person... was actually herself!

"How is this possible..."

"..."

The horned deer also saw itself in its memories. Although it was also blurry, its extremely strong mental power allowed it to distinguish that the features were exactly the same.

So what exactly happened?

Mingyou didn't think as much as they did. At this moment, he made his own decision: he wanted to save the Moon Bear and then... take it back to the manor!

"Let's go!"

"Mmm!"

Ponpo and Mingyou are of one mind and have already figured out what to do. Since they can't recover from their memories, they can only defeat him first!

"etc!"

"Um?"

Hearing the sound, Ponpo immediately stopped. Xiao Zhao walked over with a somewhat confused look on her face and waved, "Leave the rest... to me."

"It's very dangerous!"

Mingyou tried to stop her, but Xiaozhao simply reached out and gently stroked Heyuexiong's head, softly comforting her, "It's alright now..."

"!!!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, He Yuexiong seemed to be touched by something; the red in his eyes gradually faded, and his eyes involuntarily became moist.

Xiao Zhao bit her lip lightly, already basically certain in her heart, but perhaps she would know the answer soon. Then she turned around and looked at Mingyou, saying, "Use a Poké Ball to catch it. It has already recognized the bond between you and Ponpo."

"what?"

"Hmm?"

Mingyou and Pengpeng exchanged a glance, somewhat puzzled by her words, and thought it was all too hasty.

However, Xiao Zhao understood what he meant, then hid her emotions from just now, smiled and said, "It seems you still want to go through its test? Indeed... I didn't think it through. Catching a Pokémon doesn't just require one party's consent. I'm sorry."

"fine."

Mingyou shook her head and continued, "I'm not a very casual person, but if you mean I should temporarily subdue it for treatment, then I have no problem with that..."

As he spoke, he took out a Poké Ball, but suddenly a sharp glint flashed, and Pokémon seized the opportunity to dodge Infernape and launched a sneak attack on a vital spot.

"I'm sorry, you can't take this bear with you. After all, it's part of my job..."

Muramasa said in a deep voice, "I won't change my job because of some random memory."

Before he could finish speaking, General Pudao suddenly flew backward and crashed into him, finally slamming into a tree not far away with a loud thud. The impact was so great that he was knocked unconscious.

Ponpo brandished the thorny vine club in her hand, while Mingyou calmly looked over there: "It hurts a lot to cut me with a knife, so you shouldn't mind if I hit you back with a club..."

……

There will be another chapter later.
