I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

so...

During that period, was there really an unknown creature pretending to be a pearl and interacting with him?

Come over every day, even at a fixed time and place, and climb on him to sleep?

"Hi~"

Xia Mu couldn't help but shudder.

It is still strange and terrifying that such a thing happened in a desolate place like Xicui Continent.

Maybe one day Wusi will be replaced without him knowing it.

"I think."

Thinking of this, Xia Mu looked at Wu Si seriously.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Wu Si, who was fiddling with the flowers in her hand, paused. She looked at Xia Mu in confusion and asked:

"What's wrong? Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

"Talk to me more often when you have nothing to do." Xia Mu said.

"why?"

Now it was Wusi's turn to be surprised. It was the first time she saw Xia Mu taking the initiative to rely on her.

so...

Does this mean she has succeeded in her training?

I don’t know why, but I felt a little excited.

But soon, her excitement turned into greater doubt.

Xia Mu thought for a moment and said:

"This way, if you are replaced one day, I will know it first."

Just like pearls.

If the other person wasn't usually lively, he wouldn't have noticed anything was wrong.

My thoughts:?

[You didn't explain this to Wusi, lest he get scared too.]

[However... not long after this, what happened before seemed to happen again...]

.................................

...........................

As a Pokémon that relies on the use of illusions to survive in the wild, Zoroark's life is not going well.

Because there are no Pokémon willing to stay around, the only "cheater" who can become his companion is him.

And it's not just Pokémon, humans who know of their existence will also drive them away.

In this desolate continent, they are associated with ominous things and are basically no different from "disaster beasts".

However, among the tribe, Zoroa considers himself to be one of the luckier ones.

——Because she found a long-term meal ticket.

It was by chance that she encountered pure white frozen soil. She turned into a big unicorn and crouched on a cliff, wanting to see if there was any chance of getting something for nothing.

Although she didn't pick up the leak, she saw a human being who made her unforgettable.

According to her experience, the other party is still a young human being.

But there was a strange aura about him that made her feel familiar.

It was the same feeling she had when she was a child and among her tribe.

In addition, the human's abilities are also extraordinary. He actually has mastered telekinesis, which is only used by Psychic-type Pokémon.

For some unknown reason, Zoroa decided to approach the other party.

With the help of illusion, she turned into a girl named "Zhu Bei" beside the other person.

And he successfully used this method to get close to the other party many times without being exposed.

During this period, she could get a lot of delicious food for free every time she went there.

Sometimes you can even leave a list and ask the other person to help prepare food for your next visit.

Although she didn't trust the other person, it didn't stop her from using this method to gain weight little by little.

Unfortunately...

More than a year ago, because of that annoying human named "Wusi", her identity seemed to be suspected by Xia Mu.

Since Zoroark can only change his appearance but cannot speak like a human.

To be on the safe side, she decided to leave Xia Mu and return to the pure white frozen soil to survive on her own.

After all, she was more afraid of cunning humans than Pokémon.

Fortunately, her strength is still acceptable.

Despite not evolving, she was still able to survive without starving to death thanks to her keen intuition and skills.

But more than a year later, winter came again. She left her tribe and was chased around by powerful Pokémon, and she was still in the dilemma of not being able to find food.

If she can't find enough food to survive the winter, she might end up as an ice sculpture in the frozen soil.

She was so hungry that she ran wildly based on her instinct.

After regaining consciousness, Zoroark found himself back near the Red Lotus Wetlands.

Do you want to go in...

She was in a dilemma.

She had no good feelings towards humans, and couldn't even imagine what she would face if she was caught.

After all, when she was still in the tribe, she had heard many terrifying rumors about these green-washed upright apes.

But...if I don’t go.

I am facing the situation of starving to death again.

For a moment, Zoroark was troubled.

Chapter 140: Even cuter than Pearl herself...

After hesitating for a while, Soraya finally gritted his teeth and decided to go find Xia Mu again.

Although this practice may lead to being caught by humans, it is better than dying in the frozen soil.

Since both sides will result in death, it is better to choose an option with a slightly higher chance of survival.

With this thought in mind, Zoroark carefully entered the Crimson Lotus Wetlands.

I haven't been back for more than a year, but the changes here are not that big compared to before.

The ground is still covered with swamps and mud, making it relatively difficult to walk.

For a smaller Pokémon like her, this kind of terrain is a headache.

"It would be nice if we could evolve someday."

Thinking of the rare evolved type in the tribe, Zoroa's eyes couldn't help but shine with anticipation.

While she was daydreaming, she ran to the cottage where Xia Mu lived at the time as if by muscle memory.

Seeing the flowers and plants around her that had obviously been taken care of by humans, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's good that I didn't move...

Then, she jumped onto the roof with familiarity and looked around.

After making sure that the human named Zhubei did not come and that he would not run into him.

She jumped off the roof and ran into the bushes not far away, turning into the appearance of Zhubei in her memory.

After taking a look at it, Soraya nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the house.

..............................

........................

At the same time, Xia Mu was studying the Poké Ball that Wu Si had thrown to him earlier in the house.

After experiments, he discovered that the Poké Ball was made by Team King Kong.

Although it cannot be said to be satisfactory, it is basically useless.

This thing sometimes has problems opening, and it even gets stuck after pressing the button.

Don't even expect it to catch Pokémon.

but...

Although the things were useless, Xia Mu felt that the King Kong team's idea was not impossible to achieve.

By adjusting the materials and structure, maybe we can make a ball that can actually catch Pokémon?

Just as he was thinking this, Xia Mu suddenly heard two knocks coming from his door.

The voice was very soft, which seemed to indirectly indicate the visitor's nervousness.

After putting down what he was holding, Xia Mu looked at the door in confusion.

Wusi went out for something these two days, and Zhubei just left this morning.

Who would come to see him now?

With doubts in his heart, Xia Mu walked forward and opened the door.

When he saw the blonde, blue-eyed girl standing behind the door, he paused.

"Pearl?"

Xia Mu exclaimed in surprise.

Zhubei left in the morning, and it is just afternoon now.

Calculating the distance, the other party should have just arrived at the Pearl Tribe. How could he come to find me so soon?

Did I forget something?

Seeing that he was not recognized, Zoroark breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly.

Then, without waiting for Xia Mu to reply, she bent down and slipped into the house.

When she saw the soft couch in the room, her legs went limp and she lay down on it.

Feeling the soft quilt, she couldn't help but squint her eyes, a satisfied expression on her face.

After living in the wild for more than a year, her spirit had been stretched to the limit.

In countless cold and windy nights, she had missed this bed while sleeping on the cold rocks.

I have to admit that although humans are annoying and cunning, they are indeed smarter than Pokémon in some aspects.

Xia Mu turned around and looked at the scene in the house in some surprise.

Just when he wanted to ask why Zhu Bei came back, an inexplicable sense of familiarity came to his mind first.

This taciturn look, this sleepy and lazy posture.
