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

But none of this affected Natsuki's agreement with Jasmine's suggestion.

After all, in Xia Mu's memory, Jasmine had the special ability to understand the language of the Butterfly.

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you!"

After Xia Mu agreed, TuTu Dog immediately nodded as well.

"Tuwang!"

I'm counting on you to handle this difficult human!

After receiving the approval of the two... one person and one dog, Jasmine immediately asked Tutu the dog for his opinion.

Later, with Tutu's explanation, Jasmine finally understood everything.

This is basically a farce caused by a language barrier.

The dog in front of me is a dog with artistic aspirations. Although he paints for people on the street with his easel, he is a Cubist painter. His paintings are not purely aesthetic, but rather... moving towards rationality and abstraction, reconstructing and recombining objects.

Xia Mu thought that the Smeargle in front of him was the kind of Pokémon that could draw portraits, so he readily agreed.

As a result, after her face was drawn in a strange and bizarre way, Xia Mu couldn't help but complain that the drawing of TuTu Dog was too abstract.

This led TuTu, a dog with a short temper, to think that Xia Mu was a good-for-nothing who looked decent but had no appreciation for art. In the end, TuTu flicked its tail and used Xia Mu's face as a canvas to start drawing, and then the two of them started fighting.

Jasmine fell silent as she listened to Tutu's story.

Not because of the development of the story, but because... Tutu, who looks like a standing puppy, said that Xia Mu was acting like a human dog. Thinking of this, Jasmine couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"A person who looks like a human but is actually a dog insulting someone who looks like a human but is actually a dog... Hahaha!"

While Jasmine was laughing heartily across from them, Xia Mu and TuTu both gave her a death stare.

"stare!"

"stare!"

"……Feel sorry!"

Jasmine scratched her head, forced a smile, apologized, and then explained the situation to both parties.

In Jasmine's explanation.

"You actually think I'm handsome?! I didn't expect you to be a Pokémon, but you have pretty good taste!"

"Tuwang (Hehe, you humans are quite the talkers...)"

The man and the dog instantly became acquainted, and then they immediately started praising each other.

"Your paintings have the style of a master. I know a guy named Picasso, his paintings are incredibly valuable, you definitely can too!"

"Tuwang!"

"TuTu Dog says thank you for the compliment. He doesn't care about money, but he's still very happy, so he wants to give you a painting!"

Hearing Jasmine's translation, Xia Mu smiled even more brightly.

"Haha, then I won't be polite. Take this box of energy cubes and eat it. Drawing is also physically demanding, so you need to take care of yourself!"

"Tuwang!"

"TuTu says you're a good person, and he'll remember you!"

"It's okay, we're like brothers!"

"Tuwang!"

"TuTu Dog..."

Xia Mu and Tu Tu Quan reconciled with a smile, but the biggest victim was Jasmine, who, as the translator, had to listen to the two of them say some cheesy things and join in.

After Tutu the dog waved its tail and left, moved, Jasmine felt her head was full of social quotations.

Brothers are in my heart, come to me if you need anything!

If the knife isn't sharp and the horse is too thin, what can he use to fight you?

You weren't there when the sun set, but who are you now that it's rising again...?

"Jasmine, Miss Jasmine?"

Amidst May's repeated calls, Jasmine finally came to her senses from the convoluted story of her Smeargle being bullied by various Pokémon in the wild, then being looked down upon by other Smeargles because of her artwork, and finally being despised and abandoned by even her favorite Pokémon, as well as from Natsuki's various quotes.

"Ah, it's Haruka~"

Seeing Jasmine's stunned expression, Xiaoyao's expression became even more worried.

"are you OK?"

"fine!"

Jasmine shook her head: "I just didn't realize it for a moment..."

While Xiaoyao and Moli were talking to each other, Xia Mu returned after washing his face.

"Miss Jasmine, thank you for your help earlier, so please give me the Z-Crystal!"

"Oh, okay..."

Jasmine casually took out a pink fairy-type Z-Crystal from her bag and placed it in Natsuki's hand.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

???

Looking at the scene before her, Xiaoyao blinked, her expression full of confusion.

"No? Natsuki, you were expressing gratitude, so why is it Miss Jasmine who gave you the gift?!"

"Oh, why am I the one giving things?"

Jasmine looked at Xia Mu with a blank expression.

Seeing Jasmine's bewildered expression, Xia Mu put his hands on his hips.

"That's not important!"

"This isn't important?"

Seeing that Miss Jasmine looked confused and seemed about to be fooled by Natsuki again, Xiaoyao finally couldn't resist.

"Not important my foot!"

Haruka knocked out Natsuki with a single punch, then caught the Z Crystal in mid-air and placed it in Ms. Jasmine's hands.

"Please be extremely wary of this man!"

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Xia Mu could only slap the hard ground.

"Damn it, he's such an easy guy to fool..."

Hearing this, Zi Yu, who was about to help Xia Mu up, was speechless.

"Have some decency!"

Chapter 271 The Calamity Has Arrived

While Xiaoyao and Ziyu were complaining about Xiamu, in the wilderness of Shenbo Town, Qingteng Snake watched the skilled blacksmith hammering all the alloy into the sledgehammer not far away and nodded in satisfaction.

"despair!"

The green vine snake beckoned the skilled blacksmith to leave.

Since Xia Mu sent the clay giant to work for Joey Miao for his own safety, the job of supervising the blacksmith's outings to work as a blacksmith has been passed on to Qing Teng Snake.

Qing Teng She originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of the other talented people in the team, she realized that it seemed that only she could do this.

First, the idea of ​​letting the skilled blacksmith go out alone was ruled out. Qing Tengshe didn't want all the money that she and Xia Mu had worked so hard to save to go down the drain because of Hanhan's impulsive act.

Secondly, we can exclude the magical masked cat who loves to watch the fun and the soft-girl flowery sea lion who does whatever others say.

These two guys, one would encourage the skilled blacksmith for fun, and the other would nod in support when the skilled blacksmith hesitated.

One is purely evil, and the other is naturally unreliable.

As for the Salt Stone Giant that was just subdued.

Although it looks exactly like the Clay Giant, Green Vine Snake inexplicably feels that this guy is very unreliable.

As for Natsuki, the trainer who should be taking on this responsibility the most... he was still sleeping while holding his cat every day when Snivy took the blacksmith out to work as a blacksmith.

So, in the end, it was the Green Vine Snake who took on the job.

"Tap (Thinking about it, what will happen to Natsuki and the others without me?)"

Green Vine Snake put down his phone and revealed a smug smile.

While Green Vine Snake was pondering the unreliable fellows in the group, the Skilled Blacksmith also weighed the large hammer in his hand.

"Clang~"

It feels like it's still a little short~

The skilled blacksmith looked around, hoping to find some metal to complete today's task, but unfortunately, there were no Steel Crows in the air, nor were there any Slashing Commanders or Steelbone Earthlings on the ground.

However, just as the skilled blacksmith was about to leave with regret, a black protrusion suddenly caught her attention at the spot where she had just forged.

With just one glance, relying on years of experience, the skilled blacksmith was certain that the black protrusion she saw was of very high quality metal.

"Clang! Clang!!"

The skilled blacksmith immediately lay down on the ground and began to dig up the soil around the black protrusion.

A moment later, a round iron ring appeared before the skilled blacksmith and the green vine snake.

"Clang! (I'll knock this off and go back!)"

After obtaining permission from the Green Vine Snake, the skilled blacksmith grabbed the iron ring with one hand and pulled hard.

"Clang?"

After looking at the motionless iron ring with a puzzled expression, the skilled blacksmith clapped his hands in frustration, then gripped the iron ring tightly with both hands.

"Clang! (Come out here!)"
