New Years Eve in Pokémon World

Matsuno drove the car in circles next to the purple hemispheric barrier, and then after making a detailed estimate of the hotel's location, he stepped on the accelerator and drove into the barrier.

It was dark, and the thick darkness enveloped the vehicle. Matsuno turned on the headlights, and the visibility was only a little higher. However, this did not bother Matsuno. He had never lost his way since he was a child. He drove according to his intuition and arrived smoothly. Went downstairs to the hotel.

Ignoring the shivering waiter hiding in the hotel lobby, Matsuno stepped onto the elevator in three steps and then started knocking on the hotel room door frantically.

"Is Sister Zhulan here, Youshu? Xiaoyao?"

There was a rustling sound in the room, and Xiaoyao opened the door furtively: "Brother Matsuno! Come in quickly!"

The next moment, Matsuno was dragged into the house by Xiaoyao's little hand.

"Did you buy a cat? Wait, what's going on in this room?"

The originally pink and tender parent-child room was covered by coiled dragons and tree trunks as densely as spider webs, sealing the room tightly, especially the doors and windows whose glass was shattered by the loud noise. These rattans are airtight, improving the safety index of the entire room by more than one level.

But where did these vines come from?

Matsuno clearly remembered that he had booked a family-themed room, not a tropical rainforest-themed room!

“What happened to these plants—and where did Sister Zhulan go?”

Subconsciously, he wanted to ask Zhulan for details, but Matsuno turned around and couldn't find anyone, and was instantly frightened into a cold sweat.

Youshu stood next to Matsuno, as stiff as a wooden man. Behind him, Rose Leiduo used the combination of "Vine Whip" and "Growth", her green face turned pale with fright. He pressed tightly against Yushu's back, trying to reduce his presence.

Aliens can’t see me…

Aliens can’t see me…

Aliens must not see me!

At this time, Xiaoyao, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked up the ice elf's Poke Ball from the ground and found Matsuno's goal immediately after he scored, and stuffed it into Matsuno's hand without saying a word.

"Sister Zhulan went out, she seemed to have gone to... some business hall."

Xiaoyao tried hard to hold up his small body, trying to block Matsuno's view of coming in to inspect the canes, and trying to find excuses to get rid of him.

"Don't worry about anything else! Brother Matsuno, take this. Sister Zhulan will have no problem with it."

After saying that, Xiaoyao pushed Matsuno out of the door without saying a word.

This does not mean that Xiaoyao is not worried about Matsuno. On the contrary, she immediately gave Matsuno the Ice Elf's Poke Ball. This is a championship-level Pokémon. Even if the person commanding him is a rookie, he only relies on championship-level combat. Awareness, the ice elves can ensure the safety of Matsuno.

What, you’re asking, what should I do if I still can’t beat a championship-level Pokémon?

There's nothing we can do about it, let's all cool off together.

An unknown spherical object was inexplicably stuffed into Matsuno's hand by Xiaoyao, which stunned him for a moment. He even forgot about the abnormalities in the hotel room and subconsciously observed it.

Zhulan used a commemorative ball to hold the ice elves. It was pure white except for the joints. Matsuno observed that there was a button on it. He thought about it and suspected that it might be a weapon like a bomb.

Otherwise, how could Xiaoyao say something like "Sister Zhulan will be fine if she has it"?

Thinking of this, Matsuno felt that he had found the truth. He carefully put the ball into his pocket, for fear of touching the button, and then stopped taking the elevator and turned around and ran downstairs.

Sister Zhulan... what is her identity?

As Matsuno ran, he began to think wildly in his mind.

When I was shopping during the day, I looked around as if I was on patrol, and I used a video recorder to record what I saw and heard.

When encountering an unknown danger, he does not choose to hide at home. Instead, he chooses to go out to check and run to the most dangerous place.

There are also vines that appeared in the room, which are not malicious, but seem to be a means of protection, and the mysterious weapon Xiaoyao took out...

And she is very good at eating!

So Sister Zhulan's true identity is not a special department like the legendary "Dragon Group", right?

Once he figured this out, Matsuno's eyes became sharp.

He felt he had discovered the truth.

This time it felt different. Matsuno felt that his running pace had a sense of mission.

Matsuno didn't ask Xiaoyao which of the three major business halls he belonged to. He followed his instinct and ran forward until he passed the next turning intersection, and the beast that appeared in front of him made him brake.

Is this a...magpie?

A pigeon that looked bigger than an eagle, with a golden body. It stood in the alley with its wings spread, and was at least over 1 meters tall. At this moment, it was viciously attacking a stray cat.

There are indeed a few families here raising pigeons, but when did they have such big pigeons?And...it's still golden?

Seeing the "raptor" that suddenly appeared in front of him, Matsuno was startled and took several steps back. However, he also made a sound and was caught by the huge pigeon, which turned his head sharply. , looking towards the place where the sound came from, and the stray cat took the opportunity to slip away from the edge with its tail between its legs, as if it had been granted amnesty.

cuckoo-

Its cry is like an ordinary pigeon's sound amplified dozens of times, and it also has a deep bass reverberation, which makes those who hear it feel a bit chilly in their hearts.

As the pigeon turned around, Matsuno saw a tear-like wound on its body, which reminded him vaguely that last month, a homing pigeon was jumped by a stray cat here. , the owner of the pigeon carried the pigeon's body here and cursed for a long time, but there was nothing he could do.

If he remembered correctly, the pigeon that was bitten by the wild cat looked exactly the same as the current one...except for its size.

Realizing that a human had come to disturb its revenge, the pigeon let out a deeper cry, full of a sense of oppression. It spread its wings, its huge wings covered the entire alley, and then swooped towards Matsuno!

What the hell!

Matsuno didn't even have time to turn around and quickly took several steps back. Grid's steel-like wings brushed his cheek and made a sound like a steel knife being unsheathed.

It is conceivable that if such a feather is directly scratched on the body, it will basically be a tragedy.

After exiting the alley, there was an open street, which gave Matsuno room to hide. Rolling on the open sidewalk, Matsuno hid behind the street lamp. However, the metal light tube was in the shape of this suspected pigeon. It is completely vulnerable to monster attacks!

brush!

Click!

The street lamp fell straight down and lay across the road. Matsuno, who had no obstacles before his death, was directly exposed to the pigeon's attack range.

"Be careful, get out of the way!"

A black private car made a wild horn sound, swerved to avoid the section of road cut off by street lights, and then——

The pigeon was knocked away directly!

Matsuno: (???)

The car door opened, and the owner of the pet shop got out of the car cursing. He was startled when he saw the pigeon knocked over by the car.

"Damn it, why are pigeons so big?"
