圆陆鲨想当训练家

"It's you!?"

Hunter A was startled.

In his shock and instinct, he threw out two Poké Balls.

"Scizor, hold off the enemy! Alakazam, take me away..."

The order came to an abrupt halt.

Two Poké Balls were released, but only one opened successfully.

The other Poké Ball containing Alakazam was firmly locked in place by an invisible psychic force, unable to move.

Gadria's eyes shimmered with blue light, and Hunter A's mind went blank for a moment, his expression once again falling into a daze.

"Click! (Looks like you've been abandoned again, Scizor!)"

Seeing the situation instantly under control, Lu Sha lightly jumped down from Cattleya's arms and looked at the red warrior in front of him with a playful expression.

Subduing the other party was a thought that had just popped into Lu Sha's mind.

Although this Scizor in front of me is somewhat blindly loyal, this is precisely the most precious quality of a Pokémon.

Moreover, it possesses near-Elite Four level strength. With just a little practice, it will definitely shine brightly in a week, enough to satisfy his desire to be a trainer.

"Yes! (My mission is to stop you!)"

The mantis's pincers were crossed, its face expressionless, but its taut muscles betrayed its tension.

"Click! (But if he runs away, he won't come back for you. How about we make a bet?)" Lu Sha pressed closer.

The scyther remained silent, but Lu Sha gave it no chance to think:

"Click! (Let's bet on whether he'll give up on you. We'll release him. If he's willing to trade you for a chance to escape, we win, and you come with me. If he's not willing to give you up, you win, and I'll let him go.)"

Lu Sha grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth:

"Click! (How about it? I'm betting on his feelings for you.)"

Scizor stood frozen for a long time, looking at the Alakazam Poké Ball that was suspended in mid-air and unable to provide support, before finally nodding with difficulty:

"exactly!)"

Given the situation on the ground, it couldn't find a way to turn the tide.

It is loyal, but not stupid.

Hunter A had previously reviewed the situation and found that he was not in a conscious state at the time and did not give the order to attack Regirock.

They were able to escape before entirely because the person and shark in front of them were holding back.

"Click! (Deal made! I believe you're a warrior who keeps his promises!)"

Lu Sha chuckled and snapped her fingers with her short little hand.

pat.

The confusion in Hunter A's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by clarity.

"Who...who exactly are you people? We have no grudge against each other, why are you so determined to pester me?"

Hunter A looked at Cattleya with a mixture of fear and apprehension.

At this moment, he couldn't move a single finger except for his mouth.

As a near-Elite Four level trainer, he is capable of fighting Gym Leader level Pokémon with his bare hands.

But in front of this seemingly fragile girl, he was as powerless as a lamb to the slaughter.

"I've got my eye on your Scizor, if..."

Before Gadria could finish speaking, Hunter A shouted urgently:

"Here you go! Just let me go, and you can have anything you want!"

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Lu Sha subtly touched Cattleya's thigh, which was covered in white stockings, with her small paw:

"Make him hand over the Poké Ball, then regain control as soon as the action is over."

He clearly saw that the scyther's originally resolute face froze completely in that instant.

"Give me its Poké Ball," Cattleya said calmly.

His tone was indifferent.

The feeling of restraint lessened slightly the next moment.

Hunter A didn't hesitate at all, and without even glancing at Scizor, quickly grabbed the Poké Ball that originally belonged to it and tossed it to Cattleya like a hot potato.

Faced with an absolute disparity in strength, there is no point in running away; this is a consensus among trainers operating in the gray area.

"Snapped!"

Lu Sha caught the Poké Ball steadily, but the system notification sound did not ring, which meant that Scizor's inner conflict was not resolved and it had not yet accepted its new master.

"Can I go now? I've already given you the Pokémon," Hunter A asked eagerly. "Even if it's a double-cross, shouldn't there be some sense of honor?"

"Did I say I'd let you go if you handed over the Poké Ball?"

Cattleya slightly raised her eyes.

The next second, a bright blue light shone, and before Hunter A could even show an angry expression, he fell into a hypnotic state again.

"Damn! (You guys must have been manipulating him all along!)"

The praying mantis's voice trembled; it refused to believe that this was its master's true intention.

It has seen Hunter A abandon other Pokémon.

But it's different!

After Hunter A defeated and captured it with his starter Pokémon Beedrill, he promised to treat it as his closest Pokémon.

It was promised to become the closest partner!

"What happened to that Beedrill in the end?"

Cattleya asked casually, since Scizor wasn't Lu Sha, and she had no qualms about reading minds.

"Huh!? (How did you know what I was thinking? That Beedrill in the end... in the end...)"

The scyther fell silent.

The Beedrill, unable to keep up with Hunter A's growing strength, was left behind to cover the retreat during a similar escape.

It is said that it fought until its last breath, and Hunter A's only assessment afterward was:

"Useless! You almost got me caught."

The truth is often the sharpest blade, slicing away all its defenses to pieces.

Faced with Hunter A's cruelty, its loyalty seemed so cheap and laughable.

"Click! (Join us, at least you won't be abandoned again. At least...)"

Lu Sha chuckled and pointed to the girl behind him, "Clap! (When I'm in danger, the young lady will stand in front of me.)"

As he spoke, he crushed the old Poké Ball in his hand, took out a brand new red and white Poké Ball from his small satchel, and handed it to Scizor.

"Will things really be different?"

The scyther looked at the man and the shark, its eyes filled with confusion and struggle.

"Click! (No matter what, at least give it a try. Don't forget your promise. Are you like your ex, a Pokémon that doesn't keep its promises?)" Lu Sha added.

Keep your promise...?

The Scizor slowly raised its head, its gaze lingering on Lu Sha and Cattleya for a moment.

"Yes! (I'm not!)"

Without further hesitation, it extended its indestructible red pincers and gently touched the Poké Ball in Lu Sha's hand.

hum!

A flash of red light, and the red figure transformed into a stream of light and was absorbed into the ball.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully capturing the Scizor!]

Click click click!

I, Shark Lord, have captured Scizor!

Lu Sha excitedly grabbed the Poké Ball, spun around in a silly manner, and finally made a big "V" sign in front of the phone camera held up by Cattleya.

"Click."

The shutter clicked.

This photo, capturing the moment of victory, was saved on Gadria's phone and quietly moved to a private album called "Lu Sha's Everyday Life".

Ever since Lu Sha asked Shirona for the photos, Gadriya had been secretly plotting this.

She insisted on taking pictures too! She wanted to personally document every day of Lu Sha's life!
