Gloom's Complicated Mood

The Gloom leader had been having a rough time lately.

Although they used to be frequently attacked by Rattata, they could still fend them off when they gathered together.

But at some point, a powerful Rattata suddenly appeared in this forest, gathering all the Rattata in the area.

This Rattata, along with its subordinates, would launch attacks on them periodically, and it had lost many companions during this time.

Some companions were captured by the Rattata, while others fled this dangerous Black Forest for human territory.

It looked up towards the west. Fortunately, some companions had left the Black Forest with that little guy. It wondered if the farms there were as good as he said.

Actually, it had been tempted when it first heard the news from that little guy.

But it knew that it was very unwelcome among humans, and its smell made humans disgusted, so it chose to stay in this dangerous place instead of leaving.

Based on past experience, it should be time for the Rattata hunt again. The Gloom leader glanced at the companions gathered around it, its heart heavy.

"Nai nai nai."

Just then, a Walking Grass suddenly ran over from a distance in a hurry.

Did the Rattata come? the Gloom's heart tightened.

But the next moment, it was stunned. This Walking Grass had come to inform it that a human had returned with their tribesmen and was currently fighting the Rattata!

Heavens, why did those fools come back? The Gloom's feelings were very complicated.

After a brief hesitation, the Gloom leader decided to go and see. They were its tribesmen, and it had an obligation to protect them!

Quickly gathering its tribesmen, the Walking Grasses moved rapidly towards the battlefield.

When the Gloom arrived at the battlefield, it was taken aback. In the center of the battlefield stood a human on the back of an Ironclad Rhinoceros, surrounded by a group of Walking Grass.

The situation on the battlefield was rather strange.

All the Rattata they were so familiar with were lying on the ground, sprawled out. It was a familiar sight; they must have been hit by Sleep Powder.

When it usually protected its companions, it often used this special powder to drive away enemies, but the amount of Sleep Powder was limited, making it unrealistic to deal with all the Rattata.

But now, with so many Rattata on the field and the Sleep Powder scattered on the ground, which Spirit had used the Sleep Powder technique?

The Gloom's gaze was complex as it looked at the Rattata and Petilil still fighting in the field.

At this moment, the Rattata leader, which it feared, was covered in purple spots and entangled by numerous vines, its struggles growing weaker.

Clearly, the battle had reached a point where the victor was almost decided. The Rattata, the overlord of this area, had lost thoroughly.

"Nai nai nai."

Seeing its tribe members approach, the Walking Grass surrounding Aiven became visibly excited.

However, without their master's command, they all stayed put obediently, not taking any unauthorized action.

The Gloom looked similar to the Walking Grass, with a blue, bulbous body resembling a plant, arms growing from its body, and legs that appeared more developed than before evolution.

On its head was a reddish-brown flower with white spots. The flower had four spherical petals and four light brown sepals, and a stench mixed with old sneakers, garbage, and rotten eggs wafted out.

"Gloom."

Aiven's gaze fell upon the Spirit leading the group in the distance, with dozens of Walking Grass behind it.

"Squeak squeak squeak."

At the same time, the battle between the Rattata leader and the Petilil in the field also concluded.

Hit by the Deadly Poison Technique and bound by Leech Seed, the Rattata had no chance to break free.

"Doll. Doll."

The Petilil clapped its hands, looking as if it had accomplished its task.

This Rattata leader was very strong, already subtly approaching Elite level.

In the beginning, with the collective Sleep Powder from the Walking Grass, almost all the Rattata fell into a coma. Only this Rattata, after a brief daze, regained consciousness.

But what followed was the Petilil's Leech Seed technique, combined with the Deadly Poison Technique. The Rattata couldn't break free even as it fell.

Aiven was quite satisfied with this first battle for the Walking Grass squad; it had achieved the expected results.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Aiven jumped down from the Ironclad Rhinoceros's back, patted its thick armor, and walked towards the Gloom opposite him.

Seeing Aiven approach, the Gloom was startled and instinctively began to retreat, knowing that humans disliked its smell.

However, Aiven acted as if he hadn't noticed anything and walked straight up to the Gloom, leaving it momentarily flustered.

"Hello, Gloom. Nice to meet you."

Reaching the Gloom, Aiven crouched down and extended his hand.

Looking at Aiven's outstretched hand, the Gloom became flustered, frozen in place, unsure whether to extend its hand or not.

The inferiority complex caused by its stench, he hadn't expected it to appear in the Gloom of this world. Aiven knew what the Gloom was thinking; it was very common in his past life.

Due to being unable to bear the Gloom's smell, a significant number of Gloom were even abandoned. He had seen many abandoned Gloom.

Now, since Aiven wanted to lead the Gloom and Walking Grass out of the Black Forest, he had to give the Gloom some confidence, showing that he didn't care about its smell at all.

Then, amidst the Gloom's complex emotions, Aiven took its hand and gave it a smile, immediately stunning the Gloom, which stared blankly at this seemingly different human before it.

Nai nai nai.

At the same time, other Walking Grass gathered around.

Aiven nodded at these Walking Grass, his expression first turning serious, then he gave them a smile and said lightly, "Disperse."

Upon hearing Aiven's words, the Walking Grass immediately cheered and ran towards their companions, filling the grassland with laughter and joy.

Doll, doll.

A Petilil happily came to Aiven, who immediately gave it a head pat.

Afterward, the Petilil pointed at the Rattata leader and asked what to do with it.

Aiven was silent for a moment, then suddenly closed his eyes and exhaled, "Let it be."

The Petilil was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

The Rattata leader had already been poisoned by its Poison. If left unattended, the Rattata leader would be in danger.
