There seems to be something wrong with these Pokémon

"High-speed stars."

Shuoya Ye, who once again used [Force] to calm the frightened seal group, wiped his sweat and turned around to ask, "How many are there?"

"Including these, there are 12 Pokémon in total."

Kitazawa Lingyou held up his phone and said, "The Laplace group seems to have swum away, and there is no trace of them."

Sakutani Ye nodded and spoke to the seal balls who tilted their heads and looked at him curiously.

"A king whale is stranded and we need your help."

Just as the seal balls gathered together to discuss, the Emperor Sea Lion swam out from the sea and stood in front of the seal ball that had already started to move.

Its well-developed fangs flashed dangerously as it stared at the two men warily.

"It's time to fight again."

Kitazawa Lingyou took a half step back and sighed helplessly, "Every time I summon a few Pokémon, I have to fight three or four rounds in a row. Eevee's stamina can't keep up."

Shuoya Ye's gaze briefly lingered on his watch.

Want to evolve Eevee into Raikkonen?

There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

If a more troublesome Pokémon appears after evolution, there will be no way to fight back.

He glanced at the panting Ibrahimovic, and after weighing the pros and cons, he raised his left arm.

"Ibrahimovic, get ready--"

thump -- thump -- thump --

The rhythmic drum beats attracted the attention of the Pokémon.

Sakutani Ye looked to the left and saw a white sea lion climbing up onto the beach from the sea.

Its gaze lingered on the two opposing parties for a few seconds. After a moment, it seemed to have made a decision. It straightened its body and patted its belly covered with a thick layer of fat with its hands.

Dongdong-dong-dong-dong-dong

As the white sea lion's hands fell, black and red notes slowly emerged from the shadows, composing a piece of music.

"It's the song of the end!"

Kitazawa Lingyou frowned, "How could a white sea lion learn this kind of move?"

The black and red musical notes drew an arc in the air, surrounding the dodging Ibrahimovic.

Even though Ibrahimovic was running around in a hurry on the beach, the musical notes were always following it like a shadow.

"The End Song will definitely hit the target."

Kitazawa Lingyou watched the musical notes continue to gather until they were completely absorbed into the body of Eevee. "If the White Sea Lion cannot be defeated within a certain period of time, Eevee will lose its ability to fight."

Eevee, who felt nothing wrong, suddenly raised his head and looked at the equally surprised trainer in disbelief.

"The white sea lions regard us as enemies."

Shuo Guye's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he suddenly felt it was difficult to move.

"A certain period of time...how long is that?"

"It takes about three attacks from both sides," Kitazawa Lingyou explained. "You can break this state by putting the Pokémon back into the Poké Ball and releasing it again."

"I don't have Eevee's Poké Ball with me."

Shuoya Ye turned his gaze back and took a deep breath, "Then we have to defeat it within the limited time."

"The song of the end... strange..."

Kitazawa Lingyou is still confused by this unique white sea lion, "How did it learn it?"

But the white sea lion proved with its actions that its abilities were beyond Kitazawa Lingyou's imagination.

Its raised hands paused in mid-air.

When it fell again, it created a layer of ice waves that rushed towards the Emperor's Sea Lions who were watching the show ignorantly.

By the time the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion reacted, the ice wave was already right in front of it.

A seal hiding behind a sea lion poked its head out timidly. The eight ice sculptures coming towards it frightened it so much that it trembled all over and crawled back into the sea.

"Absolute Zero." Kitazawa Lingyou murmured as he looked at the group of Pokémon that had turned into ice sculptures in the distance, "A move that will kill instantly if it hits..."

"Ibrahimovic, 100,000 volts!"

As Sakuya Ye pressed the dial, the light of evolution enveloped Eevee.

The lightning elf leaped high into the air with its hair standing on end, and a strong electric current ran through the white sea lion's body.

The white sea lion shook its head, and just as it was about to fight back, a beam of lightning quickly flashed through its muscles, making it unable to move.

One.

"Paralyzed." Kitazawa Lingyou said, "Good opportunity, seize the opportunity and pursue the victory."

"Thunder Fang!"

The lightning elf leaped quickly on the beach, rushed to the white sea lion with its sharp canine teeth and a terrifying flash of lightning, and bit it hard.

The white sea lion let out a cry of pain, turned around, fanned the lightning elf back with its tail, and howled to the sky.

two.

tick-

The cold touch on his face made Shuoya Ye look up, "It's raining."

Kitazawa Lingyou discovered that the lightning that was faintly passing through the white sea lion disappeared without a trace the moment the raindrops fell.

"Its characteristic is a moist body." He looked at the dark cloud that formed above the two men's heads. "Although it can remove abnormal states, it gives Ibrahimovic a great opportunity to attack."

After all, it is a Pokémon without a trainer, so its ideas are too straightforward.

Shuoya Ye raised his hand to catch a few drops of rain, "Ibrahimovic, thunder."

Boom——!

The hair on the Thunder Elf's body began to crackle, electricity surged through its body, and violent lightning rushed straight towards the white sea lion.

The white sea lion, which realized the situation belatedly, panickedly condensed a beam of extremely cold light at the tip of its head, trying to fight against it.

three.

The Thunder Elf sneezed in the rising dust and rushed out, covering his nose.

When he looked up at Shuoya Ye, his sharp hair suddenly softened and stuck to the side of his neck, and he called softly a few times.

It was not until Shuoya Ye stroked his head gently that he closed his eyes in satisfaction, his two long ears wiggling.

The third round has come, and Ibrahimovic has not lost his ability to fight, which means...

Shuoya Ye looked at the side covered by sand and dust.

When the dust cleared, the snow-white Pokémon fell to the ground with stars in its eyes.

"Subdue it."

Kitazawa Lingyou turned around and said, "Song of the End, Absolute Zero, and Moist Body, it is definitely worth a Poké Ball."

"Huh?" Sakuya Ye was stunned for a moment, and Ibrahimovic suddenly raised his head and grinned at the black-haired boy.

What?! Another new person wants to share my favor?

Kitazawa Lingyou ignored the Eevee who was biting his trouser leg to vent his anger, "Defeating powerful wild Pokémon and capturing them with Poké Balls to make them partners is a way for trainers to become stronger."

"Y-really?"

Sakuya Ye hesitantly took out an empty Poké Ball from his pocket and muttered, "Professor Oak didn't seem to have mentioned this method of capturing a Pokémon..."

"You do not know?"

Kitazawa Reiyuu raised his eyebrows in surprise, and recalled the Pokémon the boy had and how he obtained them in the blank eyes of Sakuya Ye.

Monarch snake - gift

Ditto——Picked up

Pikachu-gift

Nidoqueen - Picked Up

Ibrahimovic - Picked up

Fossil pterosaur - picked up

Gengar - Deceptive

Lalu Lasi - gift

----

Kitazawa Lingyou's lips froze.

When you think about it, it seems that there is indeed no Pokémon that is captured using the methods commonly used by trainers.

Shuoya Ye stared at the Poké Ball and said hesitantly, "Professor Oak only told me that telepathy is the way to capture Pokémon..."

"Capture them directly through battle...do other trainers do that?"

----

Oak Research Institute in Pallet Town

"Ah sneeze——!"

"Are you okay?"

"Ahahaha, it's okay, it's okay. I guess I caught a cold last night."

Professor Oak sniffed and waved his hand, then spoke to the three novice trainers standing in front of him.

"You have all learned about the use of Poké Balls, how to capture Pokémon, and their skills in school, so I won't go into details."

Facing the sparkling eyes of the three boys and girls, Professor Oak continued, "I will say a few more words."

"In addition to the battles you have learned to capture Pokémon, communicating with Pokémon's minds is also a way to capture Pokémon."

"So you must approach every unfamiliar Pokémon with kindness. Don't lose sight of your own strengths and weaknesses after you have an initial partner and randomly provoke other Pokémon. Do you understand?"

"Know it!"

----

"Xiaozhi and Xiaomao didn't say..."

----

Vermilion City

"Ha, please let me teach you how to capture Pokémon?"

Xiao Mao rolled his eyes and waved his hands, "Go away, little brat, why are you in such a hurry? The school will teach you, don't waste my time."

"Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao, the strongest——!"

"Xiao Mao, Xiao Mao, the most handsome——!"

"Thank you, thank you. My dear girlfriends."

"Ah~, Master Xiaomao!"

in the forest

The trio, lost again, recall their past experiences.

"So Satoshi is really immature when he challenges a gym for the first time."

Xiaoxia laughed after listening to Xiaogang's description, "He challenged Xiaogang twice before he got the badge. Unlike Xiaoye, he not only cleared the level in one try but also got the badge from Uncle Wu Neng."

"I see, back then, Ash didn't even know how to capture Pidgeot and Butterfree, so he just relied on luck!"

"nonsense!"

Xiaozhi wanted to stand up and refute, but after seeing Pikachu's dark gaze, he sat back down again and said unconfidently, "Luck... not entirely, anyway, I still know that I have to rely on fighting to capture Pokémon..."

"When you captured Caterpillar, there was no battle at all. You just threw the Poké Ball out."

"So, so what? Even though my test scores aren't that great, I still know this kind of common sense!"

"Lululu, I don't believe it!"

----

Feeling a pain on his cheek, Shuoya Ye came to his senses and looked at the culprit.

"Try it."

Kitazawa Lingyou hastily withdrew his hand, trying to cover up his mistake and coughed lightly, "If the white sea lion is very resistant after being tamed, you can release it."

Shuoya Ye raised his hand to touch his face, then threw the Poké Ball in a daze.

It was conquered with almost no resistance.

Eevee hurried over to the Poké Ball, held it in its mouth and handed it to the trainer.

Hearing the trainer's praise, Eevee raised his chin proudly.

What's the use of a newly opened flower, no matter how beautiful it is? I, Eevee, have the strength and means to gain favor!

After hesitating for a moment, Sakuya Ye, who had captured the white sea lion for the first time in a battle, released it and asked.

"White Sea Lion, do you want to come with me? Let's head to the Quartz Plateau together and challenge the strongest."

The white sea lion was extremely confused as it wandered between the boy's face and the Poké Ball.

No, we have already won the battle, why are you asking these questions?

but...

The white sea lion pondered over the "strongest one" mentioned by the boy.

If I challenge the strongest person, there will be a lot of spectators, right?

Its eyes lit up and it patted its belly excitedly.

Doesn't that mean more people can hear it being performed? !

The white sea lion nodded quickly.

Go! Why not go? Don't try to evade your debt!

Shuoya Ye stared blankly at the white sea lion that leaped high into the air and turned into a beam of red light before rushing into the Poké Ball.

"Is this possible?"

“This is the correct way to conquer.”

Kitazawa Lingyou laughed secretly and said, "Most Pokémon admire the strong. There is no more effective way to conquer than to conquer with strength."

Sakuya Ye held the Poké Ball and turned his head to look at the group of Emperor Sea Lions and seals that were recovering from the ice and shaking their heads.

"Excuse me everyone, please help us send the King of the Howler Whale back."

The defeated Diya Sea Lions and Seals: ....Okay! No problem! Whatever you say is right! Boss is right! Boss is wise!

The patrol students who were running around twitched their mouths, feeling mixed emotions as they watched the scene in front of them.

Isn’t he a trainer here to listen?

The patrol student looked at the sea lions and seals that were lined up neatly behind the boy, then turned around to look at the lone dartfish behind him.

Who is from the Patrol Department?

The senior said that group capture is a technique that will be taught in a year. How can I learn it? !

Shuo Gu Ye, who was walking on the beach, suddenly thought of something and turned around to ask, "By the way, what happened to my face? I think you pinched it just now..."

Kitazawa Lingyou froze and stammered, "Is there?"

"Ah."

Shuo Gu Ye turned his head and said, "It's here."

The boy's skin was already whiter than snow, so the red on his cheek looked particularly abrupt.

"Kill mosquitoes! Yes, there are mosquitoes."

"Is that so? Thank you very much."

Kitazawa Lingyou rubbed his fingertips, and there seemed to be some residual warmth.

When I look at the boy's round cheeks puffed up when he's thinking, I can't help but reach out...

Well, I want more next time.
