Chapter 333 Wild Insect King
Chapter 333 Wild Insect King
"Xiao Tuo, huh?" Jiuji's voice brought the stunned ranger back to his senses. "Go contact the head of Green Garden and the Alliance Emergency Department and mobilize some paralysis powder and sleep powder sprayers to stop the insect swarm. Huahua and the Sun Elf will help you hold the line and buy time."
"Okay... okay!" Xiao Tuo was startled, and his eyes swept over the swarm of insects that were obviously blocked by the pollen of Venusaur. He felt relieved. He hurriedly took out the communicator and started calling for support.
Jiuji didn't delay any longer and signaled to Huahua and the Sun Elf: "I'll leave this to you. Guard the protective net, control the pace, and shrink the area to conserve your energy when necessary."
"Dana!" Huahua growled calmly, the flowers on her back swayed slightly, and more vine whips appeared, forming a second line of defense in front of the protective net.
The sun elf tapped his chin gracefully, his purple eyes sharp as a knife, fixed tightly on the threat hovering in the sky, his mind highly concentrated.
"Daidai, Luna, let's go!" Jiuji turned around and took Daidai and Luna with him, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest that seemed particularly restless due to the commotion.
Daidai maintained a telekinetic barrier, blocking most of the annoying grass clippings and flying insects, while Luna cleared a path ahead, using waveguides to sense energy fluctuations and life breath, accurately avoiding unnecessary entanglements.
The closer they got to the coordinates provided by Ditto, the heavier the invisible pressure in the air became, like a sticky liquid, carrying an aura of madness and pain.
The number of Bug-type Pokémon around them dropped drastically, replaced by flocks of panicked birds and small Ground-type Pokémon curled up on the ground, trembling.
"Luca!" Lucario suddenly stopped, his ears erected alertly, his invisible waveguide perception spread rapidly around like water waves, and his eyes became sharp.
"Dai." Daidai also felt the powerful source energy with a breath of chaos and destruction. It subconsciously strengthened the mental barrier surrounding Jiuji's body.
Through the waveguide link, Jiuji clearly received the information transmitted by Luna: the violent energy source was close at hand, and was full of pain and hostility.
[Ditto, come back.] Ditto is not a fighting Pokémon. Now that the source has been confirmed, there is no need for Ditto to continue to take risks and lurk.
Not far away, a "Doi Ninja" poked its head out from the soft soil, instantly melted and deformed, turning back into a pink gelatinous Ditto, and nimbly bounced back onto Kyuki's shoulder.
After a few more steps forward, the scene before me suddenly became clear.
The thick tree trunks were broken in half by brute force and fell in all directions; the ground was covered with criss-crossing gullies and deep craters; the air was filled with a strong mixed smell, the sap of broken tree trunks, turned over soil, and a faint hint of a strange, fishy and sweet smell.
In the middle of the open space, a figure that made Jiuji's pupils shrink was half-lying on the ground, breathing heavily and painfully.
That's a Heracross of a different color!
[Heracross (Shiny), a one-horned Pokémon, is a strongman who can force his proud horn into the opponent's abdomen, then lift it up and throw it out in one breath. 】
[Attributes: Insect, Fighting]
[Features: Perseverance. If you become abnormal, you will use your perseverance and your attack will increase.]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: Level 50]
[Skills: Swallow Return, Tile Breaking, Survival from Desperate Situation, Close Combat...]
Its entire body is covered with a pink shell, which reflects a dazzling luster under the light that penetrates through the forest gaps. It is a level 50 wild insect-type Pokémon, and it is no exaggeration to call it the "Insect King."
However, at this moment, the Heracross, who should have been mighty and domineering, looked extremely embarrassed.
Its huge heart-shaped horn was covered in mud and sawdust, and its pink shell was covered with scratches of varying depths.
The most shocking thing was the deep tear on its left shoulder blade, which was so deep that the bone was visible.
The carapace around the wound took on an ominous purple-black color, and this purple-black color was like a vicious spider web, stubbornly spreading around.
It was clearly in a state of deep poisoning, its body trembling slightly from the severe pain, and every breath was accompanied by an uncontrollable roar of pain.
It was this powerful pressure from the Insect King, who could not control himself due to pain, that was like an invisible storm, madly driving away all the sensitive insect-type Pokémon in the forest, causing this widespread riot.
"Roar...Hera!!" It keenly sensed the approach and suddenly raised its head.
Those compound eyes were covered with scarlet bloodshot, and their gaze was a mixture of rage, pain, and deep vigilance.
It struggled to stand up, pointed its huge horn threateningly at Jiuji and his group, and let out a low and hostile roar, trying to use its last bit of strength to drive away the invaders.
But just this one movement caused the tearing pain in its shoulder blade to make its body tilt and it almost fell down again. The roar in its mouth instantly turned into a painful scream.
Level 50, shiny, female... This combination made Jiuji feel a little familiar.
She quickly retreated to a safe distance, clearly sending the other party a signal that she was not hostile.
"Daidai, go and bring the white sea lion and the little drunkard over here." Jiuji ordered in a low voice. At the same time, she was also wondering.
As natural enemies, Heracross and Kairos fought to the death for food and territory. Logically, even if Heracross was in a panic, he would not choose Kairos's territory, not to mention that he rashly broke in when he was seriously injured and poisoned.
Individuals of different colors are easily rejected, attacked or expelled by their own race or even other races, and the pressure of survival is huge. This Heracross has grown to level 50, and the hardships it has experienced can be imagined, and it would not make such a simple mistake.
However, now is not the time to worry about this. The key point is that if this Shiny Heracross is not detoxified, it will most likely not survive tonight.
Jiuji did not make any more moves that might stimulate it. He just stood there, sharing perception with Luna and paying close attention to the condition of Heracross.
She could clearly "see" the energy ball representing Heracross in Lunawave's field of vision, flickering violently like a candle in a storm.
"stay!"
A flash of blue light appeared, and Slowpoke reappeared, followed closely by two familiar figures.
"Hera!" A roar with a hint of laziness but full of energy sounded.
The little drunkard shook his dark blue, equally huge horn and sniffed the air habitually.
Well, the natural taste is still not as good as the aroma of my own wine.
"Ao?" The white sea lion didn't care about the dirty environment at all. It used its flippers to easily paddle twice and jumped to Jiuji's side, making a purring sound of comfort.
Looking at these two completely out of shape, Jiuji held his forehead helplessly and said, "You two, look over there!"
"Hera!" When his eyes fell on the painful figure in the middle of the clearing, the drunkard's lazy expression froze instantly, filled with unbelievable shock and a throbbing from deep in his blood!
This, this, this...this sister, how come she is so beautiful!
"Ao?!" The white sea lion looked in the direction of the voice and was also stunned for a moment - how did this girl get herself into such a miserable state? !
The moment the drunkard appeared, Heracross' body suddenly stiffened.
It raised its head, and its scarlet compound eyes were fixed on the little drunkard's striking dark blue shell and horn. Its eyes were filled with extreme astonishment, as well as even deeper vigilance and hostility than before.
"Sorry, it's my mistake." Jiuji was quick to stop the drunkard who instinctively wanted to move forward, and quickly explained to Heracross, "We have no ill intentions, we just want to help you!"
She quietly gave Slowpoke a look, and the latter understood. Invisible healing waves floated silently towards Heracross like gentle starlight.
Just then, the white sea lion moved.
Jiuji felt helpless:... I was so focused on pressing the drunkard that I forgot to press the white sea lion.
Fortunately, the white sea lion is still very reliable when it comes to food.
It did not rush forward rashly, but moved forward a few steps very, very slowly, and stopped at a position that would not make Heracross feel strongly threatened but could also clearly express its intentions.
Then, under Heracross's alert and confused gaze, the white sea lion made a move that surprised Jiuji.
It condensed several crystal clear ice mirrors and skillfully adjusted the angle to show its warm flesh-colored fur, which was completely different from that of ordinary white sea lions, more clearly and brightly in Heracross's vision.
The sunlight refracted through the ice mirror, creating a soft halo on the warm-toned hair.
"Ao~Ao~Ao!" I am the same as you~
Heracross's bloodshot eyes suddenly shrank!
This strange-colored hair... is the smell of "alien"!
so tired
