There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

Not long after the press conference ended, there was only enough time for Sakutani Ye and the others to have a celebratory banquet together, and Izumi You left in a hurry to go to the next performance.

Then, Sakuya Ye and his group set out on their journey again, and they discovered the differences of Lalu Las as they interacted with each other during the journey.

For example...

"Hey, Lalulas's fruit fell."

Among the people who were gathering together for lunch, Fujino Sakura caught a glimpse of a round fruit falling from Lalulas's hand.

Finally it stopped under Psyduck's butt.

Just as Sakutani Ye was about to stand up to help, he was held down by Kitazawa Reiyuu beside him.

"It can be solved with telekinesis." Kitazawa Lingyou picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea, "Don't think of Pokémon as too delicate."

Fujino Sakura also nodded and said, "Although Ralts is only a young Pokémon, there is no need to take care of it too carefully."

After receiving the suggestion, Shuoya Ye nodded, and his buttocks, which had just left the chair a short distance away, fell back down.

But he still moved his feet slightly, observing with his peripheral vision how Lalulas would move.

I saw Lalulas put down the bowl and walked quickly towards Pikachu.

"No need for telekinesis?" Fujino Sakura, who was also secretly watching this scene, asked in a low voice.

"Perhaps Lalulas thinks direct communication is more effective..."

Before he finished speaking, Shuoya Ye, who was making speculations, was shocked the next moment.

Psyduck, who was floating in the air inexplicably, scratched his head, looking confused.

Its eyes rolled around, completely unaware of what was happening.

Until it looked in the direction of the trainer, and then looked downwards at the prompting of the three people's gazes.

Nothing.

So Psyduck turned its head and looked downward and behind.

What catches the eye is a patch of green and a streak of red.

Why does this green helmet look familiar?

Only after Lalulas retrieved the fruit did he put the Psyduck, which he had held up with one hand, back to its original position, and walked back to the rice bowl and sat down with the fruit in both hands.

"I, I, I...did I see that correctly?" Sakura Fujino, who could barely speak clearly, swallowed her saliva and pointed at the petite Pokémon with a calm expression, "It...lifted up Psyduck with one hand?!!"

After a while without receiving a response, she looked at her travel companion.

They were no less shocked than I was.

Especially Shuoya Ye, whose mouth is so wide open that he can swallow an egg.

Kitazawa Reiyu raised the cup with no tea left to his mouth, drank from it, put it down, and raised it again after a while.

His eyes were empty for a moment.

It seemed that his brain had crashed due to this scene that went beyond common sense.

"Lingyou..." Shuoya Ye patted his face, confirmed that he was not dreaming, turned to look at the black-haired boy and said, "Lalulas... Could it be that he has the characteristics of a strongman?"

After hearing this, Kitazawa Reiyuu once again raised the empty teacup, pursed his lips and uttered an ambiguous word.

"Maybe."

----

"hiss--!"

Shuoya Ye woke up from his coma and opened his eyes, only to see darkness everywhere.

He patted his still dizzy head and called his companion's name in a low voice.

There was no reply.

He brushed his hand across his waist, wanting Ditto to come out and provide light.

But it came up empty.

His expression suddenly changed and he fumbled around his waist repeatedly.

I was just about to take off all my clothes and pants, but I still didn't touch anything.

Where's his Pokémon?

Where are Lingyou and Xiaoying?

Where is this place?

With complicated thoughts in his mind, Shuoya Ye took several deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and recalled the last scene.

It seemed like... just had dinner under the tree.

Everything was normal. At that time, Ditto was discovered by Fujino Sakura while secretly looking for snacks in the backpack and was given a good scolding.

What happened next?

Shuo Guye raised his hand to cover his forehead, sweat pouring down his face.

I can't remember at all.

It was as if he had no idea why he appeared in this dark space at this moment.

The noisy sound beside his ear caught Shuoya Ye's attention.

Accompanied by the occasional shaking and shifting of the body, and the roaring sound of the engine.

Shuoya Ye held onto the wall, feeling the vibration of the iron sheet and came up with a guess.

Kidnapped?

It's not in a container now, is it?

Before he could think deeply, a subtle sound mixed in with the engine noise caught his attention.

He held his breath and walked carefully towards the source of the sound.

Until he squatted down and touched something familiar while groping on the ground.

That's his backpack.

Sakuya Ye, who was holding the strap in his right hand, was very sure.

The source of the sound...

"Lalulas?!"

Shuoya Ye recognized the voice and quickly unzipped his clothes, calling out in a low voice.

The next moment, he felt something warm touching his palm.

"Why are you here?"

Shuoya Ye picked up the hot and stuffy Lalulas and held him against his shoulder. His other hand was still searching for something in his backpack. "Are the other Pokémon here too?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shuogu Ye felt something soft brushing against his neck.

Lalulas shook her head, denying his speculation.

"Really?" Shuoya Ye patted Lalulas on the back, not showing too much disappointment.

I thought all the Pokémon had disappeared, so it was a pleasant surprise that Ralts was still by my side.

If he were alone, he might even get panicked.

But with the Pokémon by his side, Shuoya Ye calmed down instantly and began to look for a way out.

But soon after he stood up, an irresistible force threw him onto the iron sheet.

The loud noise and the pain in his right arm made him frown slightly.

But Shuoya Ye didn't have time to care about this minor injury, and hurriedly looked down at Lalulas in his arms.

But he happened to meet a pair of red eyes.

"Are you okay, Lalulas?"

Lalulas shook her head.

After seeing this, Shuoya Ye didn't think much about it. He protected Lalulas more tightly and continued to move along the iron sheet.

It was not until more than ten seconds later when he looked at the blue iron sheet in front of him that he suddenly remembered.

How did he see Lalulas's movements in the dark?

When Sakuya Ye looked down at Ralts again, he gave the trainer a look of contempt without any hesitation.

Then, it stretched out its hand, hooked the silk thread wrapped around the trainer's neck, and raised its hand.

A faintly glowing gear pendant connected by silk thread appeared in front of the boy.

It glows again.

Shuoya Ye hooked the silk thread with her fingers and lifted the pendant.

The faint light, like that of fireflies, illuminates an inch of space around Shuogu Ye.

He frowned, puzzled.

Every time this thing lights up it's not a very good experience.

Either it's a sudden outburst of temper, or a Pokémon that becomes more aggressive.

But at this moment, Shuo Gu Ye, who was holding the pendant, was sure that he was not the least bit agitated.

So how come it shines again?

Before Shuoya Ye could think more, a low growl with a warning came into his ears.

He turned quickly, holding the pendant high.

With the help of the faint light, look to the other side which is still in darkness.

The mysterious creature continued to growl.

Shuo Gu Ye remained in a stalemate with him for a long time but there was no other change.

In the end, Ralts looked up at the trainer who was facing a formidable enemy, raised his foot to break free from his arms, and ran in the direction where the growl came from.

Shuo Gu Ye was startled and hurriedly chased after him.

"Lalulas! Wait..."

Shuoya Ye, holding the pendant, froze in place.

He looked at the blood-stained Pokémon lying on the ground in disbelief.

Following Lalulas's finger, he noticed it.

Under your feet...

No.

Shuoya Ye slowly turned his head and looked around.

It should be said that the entire space is covered with bloodstains.

And it finally stopped roaring when it saw Shuoya Ye approaching.

But those fierce eyes were always fixed on the boy.

It seemed that as long as he dared to move, even a Pokémon as weak as this would still be able to rush up and tear his throat.

But Shuoya Ye's gaze did not linger on its vigilant pupils.

Instead, it gradually moves downward until it stops at the neck.

The bell is exquisitely crafted, intricately carved, and round and lovely.

"Boss Cat..."

Shuo Gu Ye's brows slightly dropped, his eyes filled with uncontrollable heartache.

He slowly squatted down and carefully observed the injury.

Just that one glance set the alarm bells in his head ringing.

He had seen this kind of injury before!

I’ve seen it on Ma Zhishi!

This is a gunshot wound!

"Lalulas." Shuoya's eyes were serious, like the deep water of a lake, "Help me get my backpack."

Lalulas nodded, a blue light flashing around her eyes.

After a while, Shuoya Ye's backpack floated in the air and landed beside him.

After briefly observing the injuries of the cat boss, Shuoya Ye began to search in the bag.

"Bandages, hemostatics, wound medicine, burn medicine, antidote..."

Every time Shuo Gu Ye named a potion, a bottle would appear in front of Boss Cat.

Until the last pair of scissors was placed in front of it, the familiar-looking boy knelt on the ground and spoke solemnly.

"Boss Cat, you are seriously injured."

Sakuya Ye picked up the scissors and looked at the cat boss who became alert again without fear.

"I need to cut the hair on your injured part, apply medicine and bandage it."

After saying that, he grabbed the cat boss's front legs with both hands and turned it over.

The cat boss, who had inexplicably turned 180 degrees in the air, just came to his senses and found himself fixed in the boy's arms in an absolutely embarrassing position with his belly facing up.

The cat boss, who had never suffered such a humiliation, struggled hard, and even his blood-stained hair was shining with a few strands of electricity.

"Trust me, Boss Cat."

The cat boss turned his head and looked at the boy who was shivering from the 100,000 volts of electricity concentrated on his body.

But he still smiled, raised his hand to take off the pendant from his neck and handed it to Lalulas.

"Take a picture for me."

After Lalulas took it, he returned to the simple treatment.

He looked serious, but his hand holding the scissors did not shake at all.

The charred hair on the flank of the cat boss's abdomen was carefully cut off, and at the same time, the gentle voice sounded again.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

The cat boss's eyes were fixed on the boy's fragile neck.

The sharpness of a hunter flashed in those deep golden pupils.

Unabashedly exposing the weakness to the hunter...

Even the cat boss’ whiskers were touching it.

Just open your mouth and...

Shuo Gu Ye felt the tense muscles under his hands, and although he was shocked by the electric shock emanating from his body from time to time, he still spoke to comfort him.

"You can bite me if it hurts."

The cat boss's fangs stopped on the boy's throbbing carotid artery.

If he had used just a little more force, the boy's life would have vanished like fireworks.

It has done this many times over the years and is well versed in human weaknesses.

But at this moment, as it listened to the boy's words, many familiar and painful memories kept flashing before its eyes. They were both sweet and poisonous to it.

"But, but..."

The boy in the memory looked at himself worriedly as he was being pressed on the hospital bed by Miss Joy. His arm, which was placed next to his teeth, was shaking with fear, but he still did not retract it.

"Can you...bite more gently..."

Although he was the one who was about to get the injection, the boy's eyes were full of tears, as if he was about to cry in the next second.

"I, I... am a little afraid of pain... don't... use too much force... okay?"

At this moment, images of the past and the present are constantly overlapping.

The cat boss's narrow pupils gradually retracted a little.

But its sharp teeth remained on the boy's neck, trembling slightly.

I don't know how much time passed until Shuoya Ye cut one end of the bandage with scissors and tied a knot skillfully.

"Okay, you're done!"

The boy rubbed the cat boss's soft pads a few times and let out a long sigh.

Thanks to Mr. Ma Zhishi in Vermilion City for his disdain for their lack of basic medical knowledge.

Since then, he has spontaneously learned a lot of useful first aid knowledge from Lingyou.

Now it finally comes in handy.

Shuoya Ye tilted his head and gently rubbed the cat boss lying beside his neck.

The long, soft beard brushed across his sensitive and fragile neck, making him feel a little itchy.

"How are you, Boss Cat? Are you feeling better?"

The cat boss trembled all over.

The voice that had long been deliberately placed in the corner of memory sounded in my ears again.

"Miss Joy...how is my Meow Meow? Is it better...?"
