Chapter 151 The Elf Hunter's Trail!
Two hours after Qingyuan fell asleep, Scyther was chosen by Qingyuan to be on duty for the first half of the night.
It was standing in front of the wooden house, practicing its skills.
As Qingyuan's second Pokémon, Scyther is not the most talented.
It's not the strongest, but it's definitely the most hardworking member of the Qingyuan team.
When dealing with a scorpion, playing rock-paper-scissors with it will cause the praying mantis to lose focus for a while.
But you can't blame it. Who can accept constantly losing?
"Crench!"
Just as the Scyther was struggling to swing its blades, the sound of a tree branch snapping suddenly reached its ears.
"Hey! (Who's there!)"
The Flying Mantis looked in the direction from which the sound came and questioned in a cold voice.
"Buzz~"
With a cold shout from Scyther, a Flareon covered in wounds emerged from the bushes.
"Please save my friends!"
Looking at the majestic and imposing Scyther in front of him, Flareon said in a pleading voice.
"Sha! (Get out of here!)"
Scyther ignored Flareon and instead assumed a battle stance, speaking with a serious expression.
Who knows if this bright red guy in front of me is faking it?
What if it's just pretending to be weak, and then attacks when it's off guard?
Before encountering Qingyuan, the flying mantis's experience living in the wild taught it...
In the wilderness, a world where the strong prey on the weak, one must always be prepared for anything.
"Please! Save my friends!"
Despite the threat from Scyther, Flareon did not leave.
Instead, it knelt before the Scyther and begged.
"Shh! (One last warning: if you don't leave, don't blame me for taking action!)"
Scyther's blades glowed white, and it menacingly threatened Flareon.
Behind it lies the sleeping Qingyuan, and it cannot afford to overlook any dangerous factors and approach the unsuspecting Qingyuan.
"Please, please save my friends! They've been captured by the elf hunters!"
Watching the white light shining from the Scyther's double blades.
Flareon did not back down, but stepped forward again and knelt down to Scyther, pleading.
"Sha! (You're asking for it!)"
Seeing this, Scyther didn't hesitate at all and immediately unleashed a series of small combos on Flareon in front of it.
"Buzz!"
Faced with this series of consecutive attacks, Flareon offered absolutely no resistance.
It ducked down and took the full force of the Scyther's combo, then screamed and fell unconscious.
Looking at the Flareon in front of it, which was still begging for its partner to be saved until it fainted.
The flying mantis couldn't help but believe its words.
However, it felt it wasn't very smart, so it decided to wake Qingyuan up and see what was going on.
……
"So you mean, it kept asking you to save its companions until it lost consciousness?"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Scyther nodded very seriously.
"So you believed it?"
Qingyuan pointed at the fallen Flareon and said in disbelief.
"Sha! (No, I knocked it unconscious, and it kept calling for help until it passed out!)"
"Sha! (Then it added that an elf hunter had captured its companion, which is why I came to find you!)"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, the Scyther immediately began to explain with great enthusiasm.
"Oh, I see!"
Upon hearing Scyther's words, Qingyuan nodded knowingly and then began to examine Flareon's injuries.
"Hmm, as expected, the most fatal wound was inflicted by you!"
After the inspection, Qingyuan nodded and spoke to the Flying Mantis.
This is because spirits can control various elemental energies.
Generally, when a spirit loses its ability to fight, the energy within the spirit's body will automatically protect its owner.
This energy's automatic protection allows spirits to avoid mortal danger when they lose their ability to fight.
However, if the elf forces himself to remain conscious at this time...
In order to maintain the ability to be active.
This energy will be completely depleted, at which point the spirit will be attacked again.
They would suffer more serious injuries. When Uncle Tieyan killed the Savage Bass, he would first incapacitate it before dealing with it.
It's worth mentioning that this situation doesn't only occur when people eat elf meat.
This situation occurs more often in matches between top-tier players.
Only Elite Four level Pokémon possess such strong self-control and willpower.
He forcibly pulled himself out of his coma.
This is why the battles between the top-tier players are considered the most exciting to watch.
They're all fighting tooth and nail in these matches, how could it not be exciting?
"Nine-Tails, see if you can smell the scent of an elf hunter!"
Looking at the Flareon in front of him, Qingyuan spoke directly to the Nine-Tails beside him.
"Although I have a keen sense of smell, I'm a fox, not a dog, you know that?"
"If you order me around like I'm a dog again, I'll smash your head in half, you believe me!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tails bared its teeth at him.
"A week's supply of specially crafted fire-type energy cubes!"
Faced with the Nine-Tails' arrogant words, Qingyuan was not afraid. Instead, he slightly raised one finger and said...
Upon hearing this, Nine-Tails immediately responded with a look of disdain.
"Tch, who do you think you are? It's just a week's worth of energy cubes!"
"Let me tell you, kid, you'd better not give me an energy cube today, or you can curse me and beg me on your knees!"
"I don't know how..."
"A month's worth of energy cubes!"
Before Qingyuan could finish speaking, he spoke again.
"Hehe, you're really good at spotting elves!"
"Red and delicious little guy, here comes your great master!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tailed Fox immediately changed its tune.
Watching Nine-Tails howl as it charged toward Flareon.
Qingyuan's lips twitched involuntarily. Anyone who knew the Nine-Tailed Fox would think it was talking about the Energy Cube.
Anyone who didn't know better would think it was going to eat the Flareon in front of it.
After all, as a fire-type Pokémon, Flareon's most distinctive feature, like Eevee, is that its entire body turns bright red.
Otherwise, it's not much different from a regular Eevee.
Being called the "One and Only King" in the game of the previous life is a bit hard to bear.
Ninetales approached Flareon and gently sniffed it.
Then he looked at Qingyuan with disgust and said...
"A disgusting smell of gunpowder!"
"Can we find where they are?"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan asked anxiously.
Only those elf hunters who like to capture rare elves like to use gunpowder.
In other words, there really is a group of elf hunters here, and that's all money in the bag!
"You're looking down on me, aren't you?"
"Although I'm not a dog, my sense of smell is much sharper than a dog's!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Nine-Tailed Fox immediately said with a smug look on its face.
