The day after leaving Violet City, Yushu rode Luxray all the way south along Route 33.
The morning breeze blows on my face, the sun is just right, and the Berry forest on the roadside exudes a faint fragrance.
"At this rate, we should be able to reach Azalea Town today."
Yushu stretched out and was in a good mood.
Route 33 is not too long, and there is no particularly dangerous terrain along the way. As long as nothing happens, it will not be a problem to reach Azalea Town within one day.
However.
Once a flag is established, it will fall.
Just as Yushu was passing through a dense Berry forest, a fierce fighting sound suddenly came from the bushes ahead.
"Hera!!"
"Cairo!!"
Yushu's ears twitched. "This sounds like... Heracross and Pinsir?"
These two Pokémon are familiar to him.
One is Bug-type Huge Power, and the other is Bug-type Scissorhands, both of whom are among Bug-type's most powerful beings.
But from what I heard, the two sides were fighting quite fiercely.
Luxray stopped, raised his ears warily, and looked forward.
I saw seven or eight Pinsirs beating three or four Heracrosss in the open space ahead.
The Pinsirs waved the pair of giant pincer-like horns above their heads, forcing the Heracrosss to retreat.
A smaller Heracross was attacked by two Pinsir. It was crippled on the left and right, and had many bruises on its body. It was obvious that it could not last long.
Yushu frowned.
Although he is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, after all, in this world, fights between Wild Pokémon happen every day, and he cannot care about everything.
But just watching a group of Pinsir bullying a few Heracross, I couldn't help but want to intervene.
Mainly, Heracross looks honest.
And Pinsir's pair of big pliers and that face look like a villain.
Appearance is justice, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Luxray, Thunderbolt!"
"Roar!"
Luxray roared, his whole body Spark flashed, and golden arcs danced among his hair.
Zizzi!
A dazzling current shot out and accurately hit the ground in front of the Pinsir group.
Pinsir were startled by this sudden attack. They all stopped and turned their heads in unison, looking Lock-On at Yushu and Luxray.
Who are you?
"That's alright, it's not a good habit to bully a small one."
Yushu put his hands in his pockets and slowly looked like a passerby trying to stop a fight.
One of them, Pinsir, which looked like a small boss, stared at Yushu and let out a low roar:
"Kairo!" (Human, this has nothing to do with you! Those who know better, get out of here!)
The rescued Heracross took the opportunity to break free from the encirclement, rolled and crawled behind Yushu, and tremblingly stuck out half of its head.
It's like a primary school student who was bullied on campus found his class teacher.
Yushu glanced down at it.
This Heracross is of medium size, and its horn has not fully grown yet. It should still be a child.
"Cairo!"
The little boss Pinsir saw Yushu protecting Heracross and directly assumed that Yushu was the enemy.
It roared angrily, exerted all its strength, and rushed towards Yushu like an out-of-control bulldozer.
"Are you always so brave?"
Yushu calmly raised his hand:
"Luxray, Wild Charge!"
Luxray instantly burst out a strong electric current, rushing out like a golden lightning in the direction of Pinsir.
Pinsir felt that his eyes were blurred, and a golden shadow had rushed in front of him.
It subconsciously used its pliers to block.
"Cairo!"
The next second, it felt a pain in its ribs, as if it had been hit head-on by a high-speed truck. The whole body flew out uncontrollably, and then hit a big tree heavily.
With a click, the tree trunk split open.
The Pinsir slid down the tree trunk, with stars in its eyes, and passed out easily.
The remaining Pinsirs looked at each other and exchanged looks.
Then, without hesitation, he turned around and ran away.
Yushu looked at the backs of the group of Pinsir Run Away and said, "I'm afraid this retreat speed is not specially practiced."
Heracross people looked at this scene blankly, unable to react for a while.
They... won?
The little Heracross was the first to come to his senses and jumped excitedly in front of Yushu.
"Hera! Hera Hera!" (Awesome! Thank you for saving us!)
Then it kept gesticulating with its forelimbs, pointing to the depths of the woods ahead, and its expression became anxious.
"Hera! Hera!" (Over there! There's more over there!)
Yushu understands its meaning, and there are companions in front of it.
After walking about a few hundred meters, the sight in front of him made him stop in his tracks.
I saw dozens of Pokémon densely gathered in an open field ahead. A rough count showed that there were at least thirty Pinsir and more than twenty Heracross fighting fiercely.
The air was filled with roars, Tackle sounds, and the sound of trees breaking.
The scene was once very chaotic.
In the center, two Pokémons, which are obviously larger than others of their kind, are confronting each other.
One Pinsir and one Heracross should be the leaders of the two groups respectively.
And the situation is obvious.
The Pinsir side has the absolute upper hand.
Every time leader Pinsir waved his pliers, he could force leader Heracross to retreat in embarrassment.
The surrounding Pinsirs also cooperated tacitly, and Beat Ups came in small groups to place the single Heracrosss, beating the opponent until they were unable to fight back.
Yushu narrowed his eyes.
[Pokémon: Heracross]
[Attribute: Insect/Fighting type]
[Ability: Guts]
[Moves: Arm Thrust, Megahorn, Aerial Ace, Rock Slide, Counter, Abyssal Thrust, Brick Break, Pin Missile, Horn Attack, Fury Attack...]
[Grade: Mid Elite Stage]
[Pokémon: Pinsir(leader)]
[Attribute: Insect]
[Ability: Moxie]
[Moves: Seismic Toss, Vital Throw, X-Scissor, Brick Break, Swords Dance, Guillotine, Abyssal Roll, Storm Throw, Thrash...]
[Grade: Late Elite Stage]
Yushu After reading the information, I suddenly had an idea.
No wonder Heracross can't beat it here.
The Pinsir leader itself is stronger, and Ability is Moxie. Every time a Pokémon is defeated, the attack power will increase by one level.
This means that the more he fights, the stronger he becomes, a typical snowball player.
As for the Heracross leader, he is already at a disadvantage and uses Fighting-type moves like Arm Thrust to defeat Bug-type's Pinsir.
Fighting type fights insects, and the effect is halved. Doesn't that make the other party Tickle itchy?
The more he is beaten, the more passive he becomes. Only when he is not beaten violently will he become a ghost.
Little Heracross stood next to Yushu, gesturing anxiously with his forelimbs.
"Hera!" (Please! Help us!)
Yushu looked at the group of Heracross who were being beaten back and forth, and couldn't help but touch his chin.
To be honest, this kind of fight between Wild Pokémon ethnic groups belongs to the laws of nature.
But then again.
Aili Did you say before that the ranch lacks a few people to move things?
Heracross This Zerg Huge Power has the best load-bearing capacity among Bug-type Pokémon. It is simply a natural porter!
Moreover, Heracross has a gentle personality, is hard-working and is very suitable for working in the ranch.
What? Why don't you say Pinsir?
To move things, naturally you need to find honest people who are hardworking and hardworking.
Pinsir has such a grumpy personality, what if he gets into a quarrel with a customer while moving around? It will affect the reputation of the ranch.
Yushu The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a good idea, so I made a decisive decision.
"Luxray, separate them with Thunder!"
Luxray nodded, raised his head and let out a low roar.
The next second, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky, accurately hitting the open space in the center.
Rumble!!!
The powerful lightning was like the spear of judgment dropped by the gods, exploding directly in the middle of the battlefield, separating the two fighting parties Sheer Force.
All Pokémon were shocked by this sudden attack and stopped their movements one after another.
The leader Pinsir was the first to react. He turned his head and looked sharply at Lock-On Yushu and Luxray who were standing not far away.
"Kyro!" (Human! You broke the rules!)
Its tone was full of Rage and disdain. In the world of Wild Pokémon, it is a very disgraceful thing for humans to interfere in the battles between ethnic groups.
The leader of Heracross was also confused. He looked at Yushu blankly, with questions in his mind.
Who is this human being? Why do you want to help us?
Could it be a good person passing by?
(Yushu: Almost, you can also call me by my initials, HR)
Leader Pinsir snorted coldly and stared at leader Heracross coldly:
"Kairo..." (Since you asked humans for help, we are not polite. According to the rules, we will have a showdown between the leaders, and the loser will leave here forever.)
As soon as these words came out, the face of leader Heracross instantly became extremely ugly.
It knows that leader Pinsir is trying to unite it.
There is indeed such a set of rules among the wild groups. The leader personally comes out and decides the winner one on one.
The winner gets everything, the loser gets out of the territory.
This is an iron law engraved in the genes of all Wild Pokémon, and there is no room for negotiation.
The leader of Pinsir made this request because he knew very well that he could not defeat Luxray.
But it knows better that leader Heracross is no match for it at all.
So it bypassed Luxray and directly challenged the leader Heracross.
This move is called removing the firewood from under the cauldron.
Heracross leader's face turned blue and white.
Can it refuse?
No.
In the world of Wild Pokémon, challenges between bosses are sacrosanct rules.
If it refuses, it means that its tribe has completely lost the qualification to survive on this land.
When the time comes, Pinsir won't need to take action, it will be driven out of power by its tribe.
Heracross leader finally nodded heavily.
"Hera." (Okay, I accept.)
Pinsir leader snorted with satisfaction, turned around and walked back to his camp.
Be careful! Human help is not enough!
