I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 733 The younger brother gets punished
"Phew, the Rockets are really tough to beat~~"

In the rolling mountains of Akita Prefecture, Misty, sitting under a big tree with Pikachu in her arms, let out a long sigh of relief.

The first time, he only brought two canine-level superhuman creatures, but the second time he was faced with a strong wolf-level creature: if it weren't for her and the 'cheating' martial arts prodigy Xiao Zhi, an ordinary wolf-level superhuman would definitely have lost.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia looked up and saw a 'shocking' scene.

A primary school student in a certain town of Zhenxin is doing squats while carrying a giant log that is thicker than himself and several meters long.

This person can be considered a 'trainer'?!

Or are all wild trainers like this?

Xiaoxia even began to doubt her own common sense: this kind of training was more like that of a martial artist.

Although the real world is not like a game with strict job divisions, theoretically a person can learn anything: for example, the great Onmyoji in Heian-kyo, who is clearly a refined scholar, can almost cut a young lady in two with a single chop, and his physical skills are equally terrifying.

However, ordinary people, no, ordinary extraordinary individuals, specialize in one thing.

Even Kasumi's teacher specializes in 'Shikigami Fusion': ultimately, it comes down to limited energy.

Unless one is a great Yin-Yang Master of a thousand years or an even more noble being, it is impossible to achieve the level of 'knowing a little bit about everything'.

"Ash, is your ambition really to become a 'trainer'?"

"Of course!"

Ash, carrying a huge log and doing squats, answered without hesitation, leaving Misty speechless.

Although the 'Onmyoji' of the Kagein family also practice physical skills, they do so more to evade enemy attacks and create distance to cast spells.

Simply put, it all focuses on 'body movement', 'positioning', and 'agility': unless the shikigami is fused and its melee ability is enhanced, then there will be targeted practice of melee skills.

But wild 'trainers' don't have these conditions, so most of them mainly focus on commanding supernatural creatures in battle, or they may also use high-tech firearms, or practice ranged spell combinations: such as the Onmyoji of the Isoya family.

However, practicing close-quarters combat—

What kind of trainer is this?

He's just a fighter with a shikigami!
"If you really aspire to be a 'trainer,' then you should focus your energy on communicating and commanding rare Pokémon."

Standing up, he reluctantly handed Pikachu to Ash.

"Give,"

"I cannot delay your cultivation."

? ?
Pikachu, who had been lying in her arms secretly absorbing spiritual energy, was startled.
Command rare beasts in battle?

Who?
Xiaozhi
Are you kidding?
Shouldn't I be the one commanding this human brat in battle?

Indeed, that was the case: in both battles, Ash rushed forward, gathered the opponents together, and then Pikachu seized the opportunity to unleash a Thunderbolt!
Anyway, Ash's 'Electric Resistance' is very high, so he's not afraid of being accidentally hit; both battles ended with a single blow, proving its effectiveness time and again.

However, in the eyes of Xiaoxia, a genuine Onmyoji, this fighting style completely overturned her understanding.

The shikigami should charge forward, while the onmyoji casts spells from behind.
It is simply contrary to Tiangang!

"Command Pikachu to charge?"

Xiao Zhi scratched his hair under his hat and hesitated before speaking:
"But Pikachu can't even beat a dog—"

"Pickup?!"

The bristling yellow rat almost cursed, but upon reflection, he realized that aside from the '100,000 Volts' move, he probably, possibly, perhaps... couldn't beat the patrol dogs of Pallet Town.

Damn Seimei!
They actually sealed him into such a weak state.

Left with no other choice, he could only rely on acting cute to secretly absorb the spiritual power from the elementary school students, trying to recover little by little.

The training Pikachu arranged for Ash was the path to 'Attack'.

Because of the shared power, he can break the seal faster.

Xiao Zhi,

Hurry up and get stronger!
"I think the task of charging forward should be left to 'licking pigs'."

Ash may not seem very smart, but it goes without saying which is more suitable for charging into battle: the adorable Pikachu or the boar covered in bone armor.

"Hmph, hmph?"

The tuna boar beside them, now tamed, raised its head, its eyes filled with confusion.

After realizing it wasn't being fed, it started rooting around in the soil again.

"All right,"

Xiaoxia thought about it.
"With the licking pig carrying it in front, that should be fine, right?"

With its round and chubby shape, Pikachu has neither claws nor a hard hide, so it certainly doesn't look like it's capable of hand-to-hand combat.

Then we can only hope that this pig can do something, but we don't know what it will do.
? !
"I heard—"

Just as Xiaoxia turned her head, a woman's voice rang out.

"From the other side of the horizon,"

"Call our voices out!"

A passionate male voice also rang out.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, meow~~"

As a cat meowed, Xiaoxia covered her face with her hands, unable to bear to look.

"A bravely blooming flower of evil!"

"A strong yet sweet villain!"

"Musashi,"

"Kojiro,"

"I am the 'meow' of 'meow'."

"That's enough for the three of you!"

Xiaoxia was about to lose her temper when she angrily interrupted the trio who had leaped over and started posing for photos.

"Isn't your Rockets an extremist organization?!"

What's with this kind of "adult-onset chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome) behavior?

Is there a hint of the sinister, terrifying, and tightly controlled nature of an extremist organization there?
"What do you want from us again?"

And are all extremist groups this leisurely?
We shouldn't have destroyed the factory, we shouldn't have attacked the city, we shouldn't have... Why did we have to cause trouble for those two elementary school students?
Xia was now quite certain that the other party wasn't after the 'Kakaiin family's secret techniques'; the Kakaiin family hadn't fallen so low as to use such comical figures as opponents. What were these guys trying to achieve by pestering them time and time again? Were they simply asking for a beating?!
"Since you've asked so sincerely,"

"I will mercifully tell you;"

The long-haired beauty and the middle-parted young man opposite him habitually recited their usual lines, but suddenly stammered.

"Actually, we don't know either, meow~~"

The upright-walking white cat 'Meow Meow' provided this answer.

???

what,
You don't even know why you're here. Are you sleepwalking?

For a time, Xia, who had gone out to gain experience, not only began to doubt the talents of outsiders, but even questioned their intelligence.

Perhaps this is what the 'ordinary' superhumans in this world look like?

"In short, the boss sent us to 'invite' you."

After Meow Meow finished speaking,

He took the scroll from Musashi.

?

brush--

As the white cat named 'Meow Meow' unfurled the scroll in its hand, it revealed densely packed, distorted characters.

To others, it's just a bunch of incomprehensible scribbles;
But when Xiaoxia glanced over, her pupils contracted:
"A spirit scroll?!"

This is an auxiliary tool for summoning spirits, used to summon spirits that one is not capable of summoning on their own. In other words:

"Stop them, Ash!"

While loudly reminding Ash, Misty, disregarding the possibility of 'revealing her identity,' raised her hand and gestured:
"Goldfish Fusion!"

He summoned his 'shikigami', the horned goldfish, and simultaneously fused it with his right hand to form a fish-shaped 'hand cannon,' aiming at the two people and one cat who were crouching down and had placed their hands on the scroll.

"Funeral water gun—"

Although the move is called 'water gun', the water gushing out of the goldfish's mouth has a diameter of two meters; and it is very fast, enough to send a wolf-level superhuman flying—as has been proven before.

Boom!! The next second,
The surging water crashed into the two Rockets players and their cat, but was forced to flow to either side.

Because a five-meter-tall figure blocked their way: it was an extraordinary creature that stood on its hind legs, somewhat resembling 'Goodora'; it had a sharp, long horn on its forehead, huge ears covered with small, sharp spikes, a row of bony plates on its back, and a thick tail trailing behind it.

"This is our boss's prized beast, 'Nidoking',"

Peeking out from behind this five-meter-tall dragon-shaped beast, the white cat meowed kindly as it explained:

"Give up, you can't beat it."

Tiger level!

And it seems that,
It's that kind of belligerent supernatural trouble.

After using 'Shikigami Fusion', Xiaoxia is considered invincible among the Wolf-level beings, but she is only at the Wolf level.

It's a significant leap in power, making it virtually invincible; and judging by the opponent's aura, it's clearly not a weak or ineffective character. Looks like retreat is the only option—

"Let's go, lick the pig!"

On the other side, Ash waited for the opponent to summon their 'rare beast' before giving a passionate shout and charging forward first.

Huff, huff,

The tusked boar he named 'Lick-Lick Pig' also charged forward headfirst.

The man and the pig charged straight at them, before Xiaoxia could stop them:
Thud! Thud!
The next second, it flew back at a speed even faster than charging.

"Idiot, this is a Tiger-level weapon!"

A wolf-level fighter charging towards a tiger-level fighter, and a tiger-level fighter that looks quite formidable in melee combat at first glance—isn't that just suicide?

Fortunately, the opponent's 'Nidoking' wasn't serious; it just swept the two goofballs away with one tail, otherwise they would have been dead on the spot.

The so-called 'Nidoking' refers to the king of the 'Nido race'; the dog-level Nidoran, the wolf-level Nidorino, and the tiger-level is the limit of this extraordinary species.

Although there are no Demon-level experts, it is enough: how many Demon-level masters are there in the whole world?

"Pickup?"

Pikachu was taken aback at first, then ran towards Ash.

"Cough cough,"

"I'm fine, stay strong!"

After being hit by a tail, Ash struggled to his feet;

He was just an extraordinary newcomer who relied entirely on shouting and momentum in battle, and had no clear understanding of 'strength' at all.

As for the tusked boar 'Lick-Lick Boar' on the other side, it didn't even have the strength to get up.

"Just come with us, okay?"

With just one move, Ash was almost rendered powerless, and the long-haired beauty Jessie on the other side spoke up to advise him.

"The boss just sent us to 'invite' you over."

Perhaps it won't hurt these two elementary school students?
"Tsk, I never thought I'd do that."

Misty, unwilling to abandon Ash and run away, pulled a small scroll from her waist and had no choice but to use her 'trump card'.

The Rockets, unable to accept defeat, resorted to using their star player's pet to seek revenge!
brush,

The scroll was unrolled, revealing densely packed tiny characters that were exactly the same as the other party's scroll.

It is also a 'spiritual scroll'.

"Comparing historical and cultural foundations, is that it?"

Who is afraid of whom!
"Come on, Senior Photon—"

Thump,

As Xiaoxia slapped the scroll, a voice came from the smoke and dust.

"Xiaoxia?"

"What kind of enemy has encountered that requires me to be summoned?"

A graceful black and white calico cat leaped out of the smoke and landed lightly on Xia's shoulder.

Photon,

These are memorable characters belonging to the 'older generation' of extraordinary individuals.

Eileen Takahashi's Cat!

"Senior Photon, the opponent lacks martial ethics, summoning a Tiger-level shikigami using a summoning scroll—"

Xiaoxia pointed at the 'Nidoking' opposite her and complained, asking a 'senior' from her family to uphold justice.

"Oh?"

The black and white kitten glanced at the five-meter-tall behemoth with disdain.

"A mere Tiger-level being dares to be so presumptuous?"

"Light Photon"

Suddenly, a voice came from the other side.

?

Hearing someone call its name, the black and white kitten glanced down slightly.

"Who are you?"

? !
The white cat, looking shocked, meowed and raised its paw, pointing at itself.

"It's me, meow!"

"Back then, you said you liked humans, not cats, so I diligently practiced human language."

Ok?
On the battlefield, which was originally filled with the smell of gunpowder, everyone was stunned; their eyes swept back and forth between the two cats, and their gossipy desires were obvious.

These two are actually old acquaintances?
"Oh, it's you."

The black and white cow cat 'Photon' gracefully perched on Xiaoxia's shoulder.

"I remember now, there used to be a silly cat who pursued me."

But as a 'great demon' that once roamed the Filipino seas, even if it has been downgraded to the 'weak dog' level, how could the game developers possibly be interested in a real 'weak dog' level cat?

I casually dismissed the other person, never expecting to meet them here again a few years later.

"You,"

Standing up from Xiaoxia's shoulder, Guangzi looked down at the upright-walking white cat and meowed.

"They have absolutely no sense of atmosphere,"

"Those words were just an excuse I used to casually reject you."

"The real reason—"

brush,

After leaping off Xiaoxia's shoulder, the cow cat named 'Photon' seemed to pass through a convex lens, and its figure began to expand out of thin air.

boom! ! !
The next second, the forest suddenly trembled violently.

Amidst the startled flight of a flock of birds in the distance, a colossal creature slowly rose to its feet in the forest.

"You're too weak, meow meow!"

A sky-blue feline monster, twenty meters tall and fifty meters long, stood up. Her entire body was covered in burning flame-like fur, and she was licking her paws, looking down at Nidoking and the Team Rocket trio who had fallen to the ground with the eyes of someone sizing up prey.

Nekomata: Hikari!
See above.

She joined the Flower Blossom Institute with her master. Although she initially played the role of a 'fallen genius,' she had, after all, once reached the Demon level.

Even though it was merely the power of its master, Takahashi Eileen, the saying still holds true: power is power. The past experiences of using that power and fighting against numerous extraordinary beings were also valuable lessons. With the support of the various resources from the Kakaiin family, she quickly leveled up again.

"Now I can stand on my own!"

Lying like a tiger crouching and a dragon coiled in the forest, the shikigami named 'Photon' coldly glanced at the tiny white cat 'Meow Meow'.

"what about you?"

"It's just a talking cat."

The white cat meowed and looked up, only then realizing that although they were both cats, there was a sad, thick barrier between them.
