Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Chapter 706: Old enemy, sandstorm rises

Tetsuya and Chisato took out the prepared goggles and put them on.

This is a must for entering this desert.

Otherwise, even Zhe couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't get dizzy in the sandstorm.

The power of nature has always been infinite.

Send the flame chicken to follow you.

In the desert, the strength that fire elves can exert will naturally increase by ten to twenty percent.

Tetsuya's trump card is finally able to release his energy with all his strength.

The previous battles were either on the beach or in the water.

The flame chicken is very uncomfortable.

"Down--"

It excitedly breathed flames into the sky.

Tetsuya was very lucky, at least his cub didn't like to spit fire on his trainer's face like Xiaozhi's Charizard.

That wouldn't be a great experience.

Qianli released a big white cat with red patterns on its body.

The long black claws extending from the front paws flashed a cold light from time to time, and the tail divided into three parts at the tip swung slowly.

This is a relatively common type of elf in the Hoenn region, Mongoose Slayer.

More people know about it because of the mortal enemy relationship between this type of elf and another type of elf, the rice spoon snake.

In fact, Mongoose Slash also has another feature that many researchers talk about.

That is, their ordinary characteristics and hidden characteristics are contradictory to a certain extent.

The common characteristic of the Meerkats is immunity, which allows them to avoid being poisoned or poisoned.

This is because the bodies of these elves contain a very special mechanism that can remove various toxins.

Many antidotes on the market are developed based on this mechanism.

Also possessing this characteristic are Kirby and Scorpion.

only.

The former's excessively obese physique causes this mechanism to self-destruct, so that the characteristics of most Kirby beasts are replaced by thick fat.

The latter is slightly different, immunity is their hidden characteristic.

The reason why they are able to avoid toxins is because outstanding individuals have powerful toxins in their own bodies and fight poison with poison.

at the same time.

The hidden characteristic of Mongoose Slash is called poison surge, also known as poison rampage.

It is not difficult to see from the naming.

After entering the poisoned state, they will turn on the "rage" mode, and their physical attack capabilities will be greatly improved.

This is obviously very inconsistent with immune characteristics.

Many researchers speculate that one possibility is that a long time ago, Mongoose Slash had only one characteristic, which was poison surge.

It's just in the long-term battle with the mortal enemy, the rice spoon snake.

Their bodies have naturally changed, so immunity has replaced Poison Surge as a more common trait.

This is very consistent with the elf's body's instinct to improve itself.

Another possibility is that the two are not actually contradictory.

The effect of poisoning surge, which greatly increases the physical attack ability after poisoning, may be caused by the imbalance of the internal mechanism of Mongoose Slash.

To put it simply, poisoning is more like a stimulant to them.

Physical exertion increases, but so does explosive power.

However, individuals who experience this situation are quite rare and belong to special existence.

To put it more bluntly, it means that the qualifications and potential are much higher than those of the same kind.

Qianli, the king-level mongoose slasher, is undoubtedly like this.

Tetsuya doesn't know which speculation is closer to the truth anyway.

He only knows that big cats are really comfortable to play with.

"Lu~~"

Mongoose Zhan also met Zheya before.

Under the latter's skillful "service", it purred with satisfaction.

He even turned over lazily and exposed his belly.

Qianli shook his head helplessly.

After looking at the environment, he felt a little troubled: "These places all look exactly the same. It's easy to get lost in them, right?"

"really."

Tetsuya let go of Mongoose Zhan, ignoring its somewhat dissatisfied appearance.

He nodded and responded: "However, I have Bi Diao, and you also have Muke Eagle.

With the two of them here, the worst that could happen would be to leave from the air."

Because of the random sandstorms and the elves living in the desert.

So for most trainers, trying to break through from the air is actually not as simple as finding the right direction.

But this problem obviously won't happen to the two of them.

Unless you encounter the powerful Tanabata Bluebird, which is extremely rare even in the desert, and there is more than one.

Otherwise, two king-level flying elves would be more than enough.

What's more, it's even more Mega than Diao.

"Let's go." Qianli's eyes were a little eager, "We don't know what will be waiting for us next, we are really looking forward to it!"

He hadn't felt this passionate for a long time.

certainly.

It could also be simply because of the hot weather.

The two elves walked slowly in the desert, alert to all hidden dangers.

"Shua——"

A flash of cold light passed by.

Mongoose Zhan lazily retracted his right paw and blew out a breath.

A Sand Mountain King that had not even launched a skill attack had already fallen on the sand not far away.

"Excellent quality spikes!"

Qianli enthusiastically took away a few spikes on Chuanshan King's back that had no effect on it, "Sure enough, the lower the humidity, the smoother the spikes on Chuanshan King's back."

Not that this thing is valuable.

For him, this kind of thing is just like that even if it costs a few thousand.

The key is this feeling of gain.

Satisfied, he put the "trophy" into his space backpack and took out some water to take a sip.

Qianli looked at the sand dune not far away and pointed confidently: "I think there must be something rarer waiting for us there, maybe an elf, maybe a certain prop."

"This seems to be the third time you have said this."

Tetsuya rolled his eyes.

Qianli laughed and patted him on the back: "Don't be so serious! Learn to enjoy the fun of adventure! This is not the mentality that a young man should have."

Tetsuya said that he covered his body with super powers to isolate himself from the high temperature.

This place, no matter how you look at it, is not a place suitable for having fun.

Who has nothing to do and have fun in a desolate desert?

Except for thousands of miles.

This guy must have been at home for a long time and finally came out to have some fun.

suddenly.

The meerkat, which was originally on all fours, moved its nose and the fur on its body suddenly exploded.

It roared toward the sand dozens of meters ahead, raised its front paws, and put its hind feet on the ground in a fighting posture.

"Rice spoon snake!"

Qianli and Tetsuya made their judgment in unison.

Only when encountering his mortal enemy would Mongoose Slash act like this out of stress.

"hiss--"

Very quickly.

Under their gaze, three overlapping spoon snakes slowly poked their bodies out from under the sand.

The body is mainly black, with a golden lower jaw, golden armor on the head and back, and six small golden buttons on the abdomen.

The sharp red fangs and blade-like tail streaked through the air, looking extremely eye-catching.

Snake letters kept spitting out.

The eyes they looked at Mongoose Zhan were also full of hostility.

"Bang--"

Kick hard with your hind legs.

The soft sand did not greatly affect the speed of the meerkat's chop.

moment.

It appeared in front of the three rice spoon snakes, its raised claws shining with rich white light.

"hiss--"

The three neighs were mixed together, making the sound particularly loud.

As a sworn enemy for generations, Mongoose Slash's attack mode is also deeply engraved in the blood of the Rice Spoon Snake.

Despite the huge gap in strength, they still responded.

The sharp tail swings out from back to front in synchronization.

Purple meaning and fishy smell spread out.

Tetsuya and Senri both covered their noses and pushed back a distance.

The Flame Chicken was more violent and chose to cover its whole body with flames. The poisonous energy of the three rice spoon snakes could not affect it at all.

Facing the triple poisonous tail attack.

Meerkats are not afraid at all.

He even adopted a life-threatening strategy of attacking with attack - the opponent's fate.

"Ouch!"

A low cry echoed in the desert.

Meerkats slashed his claws across the bodies of the three spoon snakes one by one, leaving four deep scars and knocking them away.

"Qiang Qiang——"

While retracting the claws, I polished them at the same time.

The attack ability of Mongoose Slash has been improved again.

Not paying attention to the dull pain coming from the three marks on its body, it stood upright and charged towards the Spoon Snakes again.

The latter was unable to react, and was pinned firmly into the yellow sand by Mongoose Zhan with its two front paws.

"Boom!!"

Following the Meerkat Slash, he turned around and slashed his three-slit tail hard on the torso of each rice spoon snake.

Iron Tail's powerful output immediately rendered them incapable of fighting.

Poor rice spoon snakes.

A quasi-king plus two elites, logically speaking, there should be no opponents around here.

However, he met the mortal enemy of his own clan, a king-level being.

All I can say is bad luck.

After taking care of the three rice spoon snakes, Meerkat Zhan did not continue to attack them like the same kind in the wild.

Instead, the hair has shrunk and returned to its normal appearance.

Obviously, this is Qianli’s contribution.

Back in the wild, the trainer's elves are still very different in some aspects.

The two of them didn't pay much attention to this incident.

After Qianli briefly collected the venom from the rice spoon snake, they set off again.

The saying "looking up the mountain and running away from the horse to death" is also applicable in the desert of the elf world.

The sand dunes Qianli mentioned just now looked very close, but in fact, it took them a full hour of walking to reach them.

I met various desert elves along the way.

For example, spiny ball cactus and dream song cactus.

Facts prove.

The yellow flowers that bloom only once a year on the top of the thorn ball cactus are indeed very fragrant and beautiful.

Qianli picked up a dozen flowers and prepared to go back and make a bouquet for Mitsuko.

Zheye is more concerned about why Mengge Cactus hunts during the day.

This type of elves, in order not to be deprived of moisture by the desert sunshine, will stand still during the day, and will only start to move at night when the temperature drops, looking for prey that are exhausted because they cannot stand the desert heat.

"It is estimated that a trainer once passed by here, and then he was exhausted and was treated as prey, and became a member of this long yellow sand.

Don’t forget, Mengge Cactus has such a record.”

Qianli said very casually.

In most elves' recipes, humans do not exist.

They attack humans mostly for the purpose of protecting their own safety, territory or food.

But Mengsong Cactus is one of the few exceptions.

In addition, there are traces of stitching on the back of its body.

In the urban legends of the elf world, the impression given by Mengsong Cactus is quite terrifying.

"Yeah?"

Tetsuya frowned.

Although Mengsong Cactus does have related precedents, most of the time, it is unwilling to treat humans as prey.

On the one hand, it is a relatively rare relationship.

On the other hand, because it is rare, the Mengsong Cactus does not have much certainty of success as a predator.

This is intolerable for it to save energy.

"I always feel something is wrong."

His face looked a little solemn.

The inexplicable alarms from the super powers in his mind kept making Zheya feel a little flustered.

"Pangyan monster, come out!"

He flicked the elf ball and sent out his sandstorm hand.

With the characteristics of blowing sand + sand power, the Pangyan Monster benefits more in the desert than the Flame Chicken.

Even under its control, the heavy body that should have sunk into the sand seems to be walking on normal ground.

"Dangoro!"

The earth-yellow energy fluctuations blended into the surrounding environment along with the cry of the Pangyan Monster.

About a minute passed.

The weirdo Pang Yan conveyed what he sensed to Tetsuya.

The news is not good.

Qianli looked at him with an ugly expression, and his heart beat rapidly: "What happened?"

"Pangyan Monster sensed that there was a very large energy accumulation in the distance, and it should be a powerful sandstorm heading towards us.

I guess Mengge Cactus also sensed it, so it brought the Spiny Ball Cactus out to look for food reserves."

Tetsuya took out tools from his space backpack and said, "There is still time now, so hurry up and find a temporary shelter."

Running is impossible.

Who knows how long the sandstorm will last or where it will end.

You can't just let the elf fly out with you not long after you come in, right?

Fortunately, the two of them were prepared to face this situation before coming.

With the help of Pangyan Monster.

Soon, a not too narrow leeward shelter was established.

"King of leave, come out!"

The Pangyan Monster slowly turned into a blue rock and huddled in the corner. The entrance to the refuge was blocked by the back of the Leave King who replaced it.

For a quasi-championship leave king.

Natural sandstorms are still enough to be defended against.

The only question is whether the sand and dust above the refuge point can hold it.

Tetsuya feels that Pangyan Monster should be able to do it.

Gradually.

Their vision was covered by yellow sand.

The vibrations under their feet also clearly told them that the sandstorm was approaching.

Even if the leave king is allowed to stand outside, the all-pervasive sand can still be prevented.

And as time goes by.

The leave king also began to frown.

The accumulation of continuous sand and dust blows also caused considerable damage to its exposed back.

"Elledo, the monarch snake, I leave it to you."

The appearance of the two elves further compressed the space of the refuge point.

But it's still within the acceptable range.

After all, one of them is close to human in size, and the other can curl up at will.

The faint white light and green light complement each other, acting on the body of the Leave King, restoring its injuries.
