Wonder Garden

Iron Hands took out its stump drum, gripped its drumsticks tightly, and nervously watched Absol.

He Shiyun swallowed and said in a trembling voice, "Hello, Absol. I know you're trying to warn us away, but we came to investigate why the plants are dying. If possible, could you let us pass so we can go inside and uncover the truth?"

A flicker of surprise passed through Absol's eyes. It had not expected there to be someone clear-headed among those ignorant humans. But what lay ahead was no place for this girl and that weak little ape to go; even it could only drive others away from here.

Absol firmly shook its head, slammed its forepaws heavily against the ground, and began gathering sparks in its mouth. If He Shiyun did not leave, its super-effective Flamethrower looked ready to explode all over Iron Hands.

Looking at Iron Hands's wary expression, He Shiyun ultimately lacked the courage to force her way through and immediately decided to back down.

"Iron Hands, we..."

Suddenly, a puzzled voice came from the right.

"What are you doing?"

Su Hao parted the branches and stepped out from the dense bushes, his gaze falling on the two sides facing off as he asked in confusion.

There was a somewhat familiar woman and Iron Hands, along with an extremely rare Absol that normally lived in dangerous mountains. What a strange combination.

Su Hao raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

He Shiyun froze. Seeing that the person who had suddenly appeared did not have a single Pokémon by his side, she had wanted to tell him to leave immediately because it was far too dangerous here.

But when she saw Su Hao's face, that familiar visage instantly struck He Shiyun's mind.

She would never forget that face, which had once humiliated her.
