"You... don't you run, you little brat!"
Zhou Yue chased after the Tombat, seething with anger.
The slippery little creature actually knew how to use the terrain to run circles around him.
Sometimes, it looked as though it was unleashing Meow Punch to attack, but it was actually using the skill's burst of speed to run away...
Zhou Yue had no ranged weapon at the moment, only his fists, and simply couldn't catch up to the Tombat.
Seeing that Zhou Yue couldn't catch up, the Tombat even wagged its tail provocatively, looking outrageously smug.
"What the hell..."
Utterly baffled, Zhou Yue called out to the others.
"Why is this Tombat acting like some little tyrant I have to wait on... fuck! It's messing with me again!"
Hearing Zhou Yue's teeth-grinding account, the others shook their heads, saying that the Palworld creatures they had encountered were perfectly normal.
Zhong Yi offered his analysis:
"Don't lose heart, Old Zhou. This Palworld creature is clearly smarter than the others... it could be a special variant! You've got to catch it!"
After exerting the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, Zhou Yue finally caught the incredibly mischievous Tombat.
"Hmph, you lot keep spreading rumors that my luck sucks... didn't I catch it with just one Pal Sphere? And it's a special Tombat, too!"
Zhou Yue couldn't help getting a little smug.
He summoned his newly captured Tombat and pointed at a Lamball up ahead.
"Go beat that Lamball half to death so I can catch it!"
"Meow?"
The Tombat looked at Zhou Yue in confusion, then blinked its big, round eyes and let its brows droop.
The Tombat rubbed its belly, seemingly hinting at something.
Before long, Zhou Yue heard a series of growls.
