Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

"I feel like someone's trying to harm me!" x2

The two girls, who were just sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up with a start and saw Xia, who was holding a marker and grinning mischievously, the moment they opened their eyes.

What are you going to do?

Why are you holding a marker?

As the two women questioned him, Xia Mu blinked.

"Would you believe me if I said I was going to wake you up to watch me do my homework?"

The two women shook their heads in unison, their agreement almost frighteningly similar.

"I think you're trying to paint on my face!"

"That's what I think too!"

Faced with the two women's slander, Xia Mu immediately became anxious.

Bang!

"I didn't! I, Xia, have always acted with integrity, uprightness, and honesty..."

Seeing that Xia Mu could only make sounds like "leiluo leiluo" under its paws, the cat immediately revealed a smug smile.

The cat, unable to sleep because it got increasingly angry while inside the Poké Ball, retaliated against its impulsive trainer in the same way after emerging from the Poké Ball.

Seeing this, Xiaoyao also showed a bright smile.

"Hahaha, serves you right for being so impulsive! You got your comeuppance!"

???

Xia Mu immediately sensed that something was wrong.

How do you know what I just did to the cat?!

While trying to push the cat's head, Xia Mu looked at the two girls suspiciously.

Faced with Xia Mu's questioning, Xiao Yao was speechless for a moment.

"Forehead……"

"It has nothing to do with me!"

Zi Yu waved her hands repeatedly, and then Xia Mu noticed the black marker in her hand.

What's that in your hand?

"Hmm...is this the amazing tool I'm going to use later?!"

"..."

Do you all think I'm a fool?

Xia Mu had a heartbroken expression on his face.

"Disturbing people while they're sleeping and trying to scribble on their faces—who taught you all to do that?!"

Then Natsuki noticed the strange expressions on the cat's and the two girls' faces.

"Oh, you learned it from me, then it's alright! Hehehe!"

Seeing Xia Mu sit down with a sheepish grin on his face, Xiao Yao and Zi Yu couldn't help but roll their eyes in exasperation.

Fortunately, just as Xia Mu was feeling increasingly embarrassed, his phone suddenly rang.

"Mosimoxi?"

"It's me, Pipa! I've found you! Come save me!!"

Amidst the deafening roar, Pipa's screams were all too vivid.

Chapter 260 One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near wood gets stained black.

Upon hearing Pipa's screams, Natsuki, Shiyu, and Haruka forgot all about figuring out who had started the mischief.

"Clay giant!"

After quickly leaving the Pokémon Center and throwing out the Claydot, Xia Mu and his two companions immediately jumped into the Claydot's large hand and were launched into the air.

Just as Xia Mu was trying to ask Pai Pa for his exact location, something happened behind him.

"Duduli! Fly!!"

With the roar of a helicopter taking off, Duduli, with its three heads spinning like propellers, appeared beside Natsuki and the others.

"Has someone been attacked by a wild Pokémon? Where?!"

Looking at Miss Joey beside him, who looked anxious, and then at her mount, Xia Mu fell into deep thought.

It wasn't because this Joey wasn't wearing a uniform but rather a white T-shirt and blue denim shorts that showed off her good figure, nor was it because Ms. Joey followed the attacker immediately after hearing about the attack.

The main reason was that after seeing Duduli fly up in an amazing way, Natsuki suddenly realized something.

Yes, this thing is a Flying-type Pokémon!

A thought of disrespect towards a certain earth god beast flashed through Xia Mu's mind.

However, Xia Mu quickly realized what was going on, so when faced with Miss Joey, who was holding onto Duduli's long legs with one hand and carrying a first-aid kit with the other, Xia Mu quickly responded.

"I'll lead the way!"

Da da da!

Accompanied by the sound of Duduli flying like a helicopter, Xia Mu and the others immediately disappeared into the air.

……

South District 3, Rocky Area.

In a steep canyon.

"Wow ah ah ah!!!"

As Pipa ran quickly, he looked back in horror at the enormous hairy cliff crab.

After learning from Natsuki that the Pokémon of this area was a Crab, he used his experience from traveling all over South District 3 to determine the possible location of the Pokémon.

Everything was going smoothly at first.

Although he accidentally stepped on a small hairy crab and was chased by many hairy crabs because of his slip, he also benefited from the misfortune of seeing the huge hairy crab lying on the rock wall.

Pipa immediately marked the location on his phone map, preparing to call Natsuki, the one in charge of the fight.

But Piper never expected this.

Just when he thought he had shaken off the hairy cliff crabs that were frantically chasing him, a giant salt stone spirit suddenly appeared above the cliff and sprinkled some salt on the eyes of the Rock Lord, which were wider than his whole body.

Logically speaking, since the eyeballs of the Pokémon Crab are designed to rotate and protrude, allowing it to see all around without leaving any blind spots, its eyes should be resistant to things like dust and salt.

However, the salt of this giant saltstone spirit was different. Pipa witnessed the salt being sprinkled onto the eyes of the rock wall lord and then instantly seeping into them.

After letting out a cry of pain, the Lord of the Rock Wall went berserk, and the housekeeper who was just passing by became an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of the Lord of the Rock Wall's madness.

boom!

With a loud bang, the scene unfolded as the Rock Wall Master smashed the massive rock behind him with a single pincer strike, then flew with undiminished momentum to his feet and plunged into the ground.

At this moment, Papa was extremely, no, a million times, looking forward to Natsuki's arrival.

"Crack!!"

The Lord of the Rock Wall roared and brandished his last remaining right pincer.

Come out here, you despicable bastard!

This wasn't the first time the Rock Wall Treasure Master had encountered such a sudden attack.

Crabtree, a Pokémon that prefers to ambush prey, has a habit of hunting on rock walls. They cling to the cliff face and wait for prey to pass by before snapping it with their pincers.

The hairy crab will use one of its pincers to grab its opponent, then use the other pincer to break through the opponent's defenses and attack its vital points.

Before he discovered that sweet plant and became the Lord of the Rock Wall, he once used a pair of pliers to slice off the white, sugar cube-like protrusion on the head of a Salt Stone Treasure.

Although the Salt Stone Pokémon is made of salt, it will be worn down by the ground even when it is just walking on the ground, leaving salt marks where it has walked.

So, just one week later, the spot on the head that the Salt Stone Treasure had cut off was restored.

But ever since then, the Lord of the Rock Wall has frequently been subjected to sudden attacks.

From Saltstone Treasure to Saltstone Fortress, and now to Saltstone Giant Spirit.

As long as I'm in a good mood and the weather is nice, this annoying fellow will suddenly appear from all corners and then sprinkle some salt into my eyes.

Last time, this guy popped out of the ground and attacked my eyes while I was hunting, and this time it's attacking from above again...

The more the owner of the rock wall thought about it, the angrier he became.

"Crack!"

I'm going to chop you into powder and soak you in water!!

The Lord of the Rock Wall continued his tantrum.

And at that very moment.

Accompanied by the sound of helicopter rotors spinning, Xia Mu and the others finally arrived at the scene.

However, compared to Miss Joy and Dodori, who were still small at this time, the Clay Golem, which flew much faster, had already arrived above the canyon.

Looking out from the top, Xia Mu could see Pipa hiding behind a boulder not far from the giant pincers, trembling with fear; the enormous hairy cliff crab wreaking havoc everywhere; and the salt stone giant clutching its belly as if laughing above the cliff.

Xia Mu didn't quite understand what was happening here.

But... Natsuki knew one thing.

"The urge to kill is rising!!"

"Kitty, use the seed bomb on the giant crab!"

"Flower-Eyed Sea Lion, use Water Pulse on the Salt Stone Giant!"

As two red beams of light shot out of the Poké Balls and landed on the shoulders of Golem, Tyrell and Selkie, having received their orders, launched an attack simultaneously.

call out!

A giant nut bomb appeared in mid-air and then fell vertically under the influence of gravity, while the high-speed water jet shot from the mouth of the Blooming Sea Lion mercilessly attacked the Salt Stone Giant, who was lying on the cliff top spying on the crazed Lord of the Rock Wall.
