After resting one night at Tang Hong's family's hot spring hotel, the time soon came to the next morning. Xiaoyun, who had replenished their energy, was bidding farewell to Tang Hong's family and embarked on their journey again.
After several days of travel, the two Xiaoyun came to an endless stretch of sand dunes. Just as they were planning to pass through this stretch of sand quickly, a piece of sand beneath their feet began to surge.
rustle...
Then a big round head crawled out of the sand, followed by an orange carapace and four short legs, and small black eyes that were shining like stars.
"This Pokémon is." Dawn curiously used Pokédex to check.
Trapinch, lion ant Pokémon.
Its huge mandibles can crush large rocks Crunch. Because of its large head, it is quite difficult to get up again once it is turned upside down.
"There is Trapinch in this place?"
Xiaoyun looked at the humble little guy in front of him and said in surprise.
Although Trapinch and Pokémon are relatively weak in their initial form, their final evolved form Flygon has the title of Ground Dragon.
The same is +Dragon-type, but Flygon can learn Dragon Dance, and its comprehensiveness is very high in both offense and support.
"Jaw." Just as Xiaoyun was thinking, the little guy in front of him fell to the sand with his feet weak.
And this pitiful appearance touched Dawn's kind heart, and he looked at Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, you see this child looks very bad, let's help him."
"Don't panic, let me take a look."
Xiaoyun had a calm expression, and then came to Trapinch for a closer look. He found that Trapinch was small and weak, but its breathing was even.
So Xiaoyun judged. "I guess this Trapinch hasn't eaten for a long time and fainted from hunger. I'll feed Pokéblock later and it will probably wake up soon."
Then Xiaoyun took out a Pokéblock from the bag, crushed it into powder, mixed it with water and fed it to Trapinch's mouth.
Because Pokémon has a good constitution, Pokéblock took effect quickly. Trapinch opened his eyes and looked around confusedly.
"Jaw~"(Where am I...)
After seeing Trapinch wake up, Dawn asked Trapinch enthusiastically, "Hey, Trapinch, you woke up. How do you feel now? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"
"Jaw." Although Trapinch was a little confused, it knew that the two people in front of it saved it, and then shook its big head to show that it was fine.
"It seems everything is fine."
Xiaoyun watched Trapinch gradually regain its energy, and then asked it, "By the way, Trapinch, why did you faint in the sand."
After hearing this, Trapinch looked at Xiaoyun with wise little eyes, and then said slowly.
"Jaw..." (There are two hateful bad guys in the sand recently. They are arresting Pokémon in the sand. Then I have no place to go. I can't beat them, so I can only run around...)
"Um... two weirdos? This number is wrong. Did you miss one?"
Xiaoyun searched for the keywords, weirdo, catch Pokémon. Why does it sound more and more like a trio? I have encountered them a lot recently.
Did he change his profession and not catch Pikachu?
"Jaw." (That's two.)
Trapinch shook its head. Although its brain reaction was slow, it could not count wrongly. It must be two.
And Dawn, who knew that Xiaoyun could understand the language of Pokémon, looked at him curiously. "Xiaoyun, Trapinch, what is it talking about."
"Trapinch said that the place where they lived was destroyed by bad people, so it had nowhere to go, so it fainted from hunger on the road."
Then Xiaoyun translated the words of Trapinch.
This made Dawn angry after hearing this. "Ah, who is so bad? He couldn't be another Pokémon poacher or something."
After saying that, he waved his little fist, as if he could defeat all these bad guys in this way.
And Xiaoyun was a little unsure, because the threesome were usually inseparable, but seeing how sure Trapinch was, Xiaoyun was also a little doubtful.
You won't really encounter any regular poachers!
So Xiaoyun suggested to Dawn: "Dawn How about we take Trapinch over to have a look. No matter what, we can't let these thieves do whatever they want."
"Yeah, okay."
Dawn agreed with her face. Fighting criminals was her favorite thing to do.
Then he squatted in front of Trapinch and looked at it tenderly. "Trapinch, don't be afraid, we will go home with you right now and help you get rid of those bad guys, so you don't have to be afraid anymore."
"Jaw." Trapinch looked at Dawn's serious expression and was deeply moved, and nodded firmly.
"Trapinch, is this where you live?"
Then the two of them followed Trapinch to the depths of the sand. Xiaoyun looked at the dry yellow sand around him and thought, who wouldn't want to be a poacher in this place? What are you stealing here, Hippowdon?
"Yes Trapinch, it doesn't look like there are any poachers here."
Then just as Dawn finished speaking, a tragic sound Growl came from not far away.
"Ang~."
"Jaw." (That's the voice of my companion here, it's in danger.)
After Trapinch heard the scream, its four short legs quickly quickened its pace. Xiaoyun and the other two could only quickly follow after seeing this.
"Let's go Dawn, let's take a look."
As the vision became clearer and clearer, what appeared next in Xiaoyun's eyes was a robot that looked exactly like Rhyhorn.
And this robot is grabbing Pokémon, which has a brown body and several holes on its back, resembling a hippopotamus.
"Jaws." (That's them!)
Then Trapinch pointed his head at the robot in front of him.
"This is...Hippowdon,"
Xiaoyun looked at the huge hippopotamus in front of him. He never imagined that people are poaching Hippowdon these days. What can this thing be used for? Can it make sand for home?
Hippowdon, weight Pokémon.
It will use the sand stored in Spit Up's body from the holes in the body to create a huge Twister to attack. The diameter of the huge mouth can reach 2 meters. Its power is strong enough to bite a car into pieces.
"And that sign, it's really those three guys."
Xiaoyun saw a big R printed on the back of the robot, a pure Team Rocket logo.
"Piplup, use Bubble Beam."
Before Xiaoyun could make any move, Dawn beside him quickly sent out Piplup to block it.
"Boga!" Piplup came out immediately and directed several light blue bubble lights at the robotic arm Spit Up to force the opponent back.
Then Dawn shouted to the robot, "You guys, let go Hippowdon."
"Ah, I heard such a sound."
"He will come right away like Gyro Ball."
Immediately afterwards, the people inside seemed to be summoned by blood and jumped out of the machine, but what came out was not Jessie and James that Xiaoyun was familiar with, but...
"The stars," "The moon." "The universe."
"It turns out it's these two guys..."
Xiaoyun's mouth twitched, and he looked helplessly at the two people standing on the machine, wearing black R uniforms with intoxicated faces, who looked exactly like Jessie James.
It is Cassidy and Butch that appear in the original work.
