"It's a nice electric shock. My Pikachu was almost unstoppable..."
After completely deflecting the opponent's attack, Xiaozhi took the lead and blamed himself.
However, this boy with goggles did not have a playful smile. He stared at Xiaozhi with a serious look and shouted loudly:
"who are you!"
"Pichu~!!"
The little Pichu next to him also had a dangerous expression...but he looked rather fierce and cute.
"Ah, don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person... I'm Ash from Shinshin Town, and this is my partner Pikachu!"
"Pica~!"
Ash quickly introduced, and Pikachu jumped directly in front of Pichu, turned around and swung his tail out.
This is the mating communication unique to the Pikachu clan.
Other electric mice rub their cheeks more often and use the electric bags on them to communicate.
"Pichu~?"
Little Pichu stared curiously, put the ukulele on his chest aside, and tried to stretch out his tail.
Pichu's tail is pure black with only a small bend.
Zizzi...!
When it collided with Pikachu's tail, tiny electric currents burst out.
"Pica~!"
"Pichu~!"
After a while, the two electric mice, one big and one small, were completely familiar with each other, and they were playing and chasing each other in the small woods.
"So this is how the Pichu clan communicates. It's really amazing..."
The boy with goggles was amazed at what he saw. He noticed that there was another human in front of him. He quickly tightened his face, and his alert expression still did not dissipate.
"This only proves that Pikachu is a good electric mouse, but it doesn't prove that you are a good person! Eavesdropping on my speech...what is your purpose!"
"Um, don't you know me?"
Xiaozhi asked in confusion.
This is still part of the Fangyuan area. His amazing performance in the Caiyu Conference and now he is a trainer, everyone should know him, right?
"Why should I meet you...?"
However, Xia just asked as a matter of course.
Not only that, the whole person even rushed forward, grabbing Xiaozhi's wrist joints, and trying to pin the latter directly to the ground.
"Hmph, I have learned grappling, but you dare to eavesdrop on me..."
However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his hands were out of control.
Then a huge force came, and it was completely impossible to resist and stop it.
Boom...!
By the time Xia Ye came to his senses, Xiao Zhi had pinned him to the ground, and both wrists were pinched on his back. It felt as if his arms were about to split if he moved even slightly.
"Oh, sorry, muscle memory..."
Capturing the opponent with one hand, Xiaozhi touched his head with the other hand and said embarrassedly.
He even captured the Freeze Bird and the half-mega fossil pterosaur with his bare hands, let alone a person of his own age.
"How is it possible?! My grappling skills are the strongest in the school...!?"
Xia Ye looked horrified.
He could feel that the human behind him had no skill at all in his movements... it was just pure strength and speed that pressed him down.
It doesn't look like a human being at all, more like an extremely strong monster.
clatter...!
However, as his body shook, a golden badge fell from the lining of Xiaozhi's coat.
It was the Battle Factory badge that I just got during the day.
"Hey, wait a minute, isn't this a symbol of knowledge?!"
Xia Ye also seemed to recognize the former and quickly exclaimed:
"Let me go now, I believe you are a good person now!"
The character and tone made Xiaozhi feel a little familiar... seemed to be a bit similar to him?
"All right..."
Xiaozhi naturally opened his palms to show that he was innocent.
It's all a muscle memory stress response.
...With the symbol of knowledge, Xia Ye's hostility towards Xiaozhi became a little less.
"My name is Natsuya, and I'm a Pokémon ranger."
He patted his chest and introduced himself.
"Ranger?"
This was the first time Xiaozhi heard this name. It sounded like the profession of protecting the wilderness area.
"A ranger is not that simple! Protecting wild elves, protecting the ecological environment, protecting regional security, protecting world peace... in short, it is a very sacred profession!"
Xia Ye quickly emphasized.
Their rangers have their own ranger school, where they usually attend classes and study, and only show up to carry out tasks when there are tasks.
Completely separate from the gym challenges of public trainers and the alliance competition.
Even the way of fighting was different from that of ordinary trainers... so he didn't pay attention to what Xiaozhi did at the Caiyu Conference.
"Our rangers cooperate with the battle development area here. Every day, students come here to accept challenges and experience... As far as I know, the trainers who enter the development area to challenge outside are also specially selected. They will not Some bad guy appears."
Xia Ye explained.
Just like this, after seeing Xiaozhi's symbol of knowledge, most of his hostility was reduced.
Da da da~!
Pikachu and Pichu were currently running around Xiaozhi, having a great time.
"Pichu..."
But before running a few laps, the little rubber ball's eyes were already spinning and it sat down on the ground.
Xia Ye quickly picked it up carefully and placed it on a wooden stake nearby.
It seems that this Pichu has a playful personality and wants to play even if it is injured.
"I see... So you are here now to challenge the Battle Zone?"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask again.
He always felt that the boy in front of him was not in the same system as him, and the phone watch on his palm... was more like a special device?
"No, I'm on a dangerous mission to recapture..."
Xia Ye suddenly blocked his mouth mid-sentence and said with a smile:
"Haha, I'm sorry, this is confidential, I can't reveal it."
"Pirate...?"
But this word made Xiaozhi remember something.
He seems to have encountered a group of pirates and fought with them once. His fighting power was very powerful...
Since the other party has a profession of protecting the world, this makes Xiaozhi even more interested.
"How about I come to help too! To tell you the truth, I am a powerful trainer~!"
Xiaozhi patted his chest
"Can you help..."
These words made Xia Ye feel entangled, and he did not refuse immediately.
This is his last mission before becoming a top ranger. It is very important. As long as it can be solved satisfactorily, he will be promoted smoothly.
He completed this task single-handedly. It is rare to say that it is indeed a bit high...
It is said that those pirates were truly unscrupulous villains.
If there is a helper at this moment, it should be smoother.
"Xiao Zhi from Zhenxin Town, this mission may be life-threatening... If you want to help, you must prove to me that you are strong enough, otherwise I will never reveal any details of the mission to you."
Thinking of this, Xia Ye said seriously.
"But as you just said, the mission is to steal things from a group of pirates."
Xiaozhi said casually.
Xia Ye: "..."
