Chapter 166 Heracross Wants to Become a Warrior
"You...what are you going to do? Don't you know this is against the law?!"

Athena gradually retreated, and what was reflected in her eyes were the Parasaurolophus and Blaziken slowly approaching her.

The two of them were ready to fight, one of them had the brim of his hat constantly squirming, while the other had his wrists burning with fire.

Those who don’t know would think that Li Xuan is the villain.

"Cut the crap out of it. Choose whether to be beaten by Blaziken and Parasaurolophus or to be dealt with by mushroom spores. Today, I'm being merciful and giving you a multiple-choice question to choose from."

Li Xuan narrowed his eyes and placed three fingers in front of Athena: "I'll give you three seconds. I hope you don't waste this protection time. Three, two..."

"I choose..."

Athena stopped talking and fell asleep.

"Hat." (You really want to choose? It's not up to you!)

The cap of the Parasol mushroom shook, and mushroom spores fell down.

It curled its lips, snorted coldly, and then jumped to Li Xuan's side.

"Well done."

Li Xuan rubbed the head of the Parasol Mushroom, looked around, touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

There's still time, so let's rescue these Pokémon first.

Li Xuan thought so, looked at Flame Chicken, and pointed at the fallen Athena: "Flamme Chicken, I'll ask you to drag her away later."

After saying that, Li Xuan cast his gaze towards the other Pokémon and commanded, "Parasol, Mosquito-kun, Gouri, Kirlia, and Riolu, follow Monkey King to open the cage and rescue the Pokémon inside."

"Abandon!" (Brothers, come together, but remember to be gentle and don't hurt the Pokémon inside!)
The Abandoned Monkey was the first to rush towards the iron cage closest to him. He gripped the bars with both hands, and his muscles instantly tensed up and burst out with terrifying strength. The blue veins on his dark arms bulged out like earthworms.

creak...

The metal railing twisted and deformed like mud in its hands. With a sharp tearing sound, the thumb-thick iron bar was forcibly bent into an exaggerated arc.

Dazzling sparks flew from the welding points, illuminating the dull eyes of the Pokémon in the cage.

“Hera…” (Yes, is someone here… Am I going to get beaten again…)
Inside the iron cage, a Heracross heard the sound, and its eyes, which had lost their light, gradually raised up, trying to see who had arrived.

And what it saw was exactly the appearance of the Abandoned Monkey prying open the iron cage.

"Hera..." (What kind of Pokémon is this? I've never seen one before...)
Heracross was puzzled, but a ray of light gradually bloomed from his lifeless pupils.

Even it itself didn't realize it.

"Quit it!" (It's just an iron cage. This little bit of power is nothing to me!)

When the last horizontal bar was torn open, Forsaken shook off the iron filings on his hands, took a few steps back, and gestured to the Pokémon inside to come out.

effortless!

Abandoned Monkey felt that this was not as tiring as lifting barbells normally, so he could easily break a few in one breath.

Although the other iron cages were not opened as easily as the Abandoned Monkey's, the opening speed was still quite good.

With the help of Li Xuan's Pokémon, the group of Pokémon that were captured by Team Rocket and imprisoned in iron cages were finally rescued.

“Hera…?” (I… can I go out now? Who are those humans outside? There’s a bunch of Pokémon out there…)
Heracross was the first to walk out. He only remembered that he had stayed in this dark place for a very long time.

"You're saved. If needed, I'll have someone send you back after this is all over." Li Xuan stepped forward and released a benevolent aura to soothe the Pokémon's emotions.

Being arrested by Team Rocket has left some psychological trauma.

Li Xuan’s idea was very simple. He would comfort them first, and then temporarily settle them here. After things were over, he would send these Pokémon away.

"Hera..." (I...have no home...)
Heracross was still a little confused. It looked up and met Li Xuan's gaze. Staring at the other's face with a faint smile, it shook its head.

"Hera." (I have nowhere to go. I can't do anything...)
Heracross immediately fell into an emo state, and all negative emotions were absorbed by Li Xuan's wave power.

Li Xuan didn't speak directly to comfort her. Instead, he took out a fruit and handed it to the other person: "Are you hungry? Eat this fruit first to fill your stomach."

"Hera." (Why are you so nice to me?)
Heracross was puzzled, but the fruit was placed in front of it, making it swallow a few times.

I want to eat, but I can’t accept gifts without merit. I can’t eat food given by strangers.

What's more, the other party is his savior, and it would be a bit impolite to take it again.

"Take it, I have plenty here."

Li Xuan stuffed the pomelo fruit into Heracross's hands, then poured out the fruits in his backpack and asked his partner to distribute them to the other Pokémon.

"Everyone gets a share, no need to fight or grab, everyone can have some~"

Li Xuan shouted, and Pokémon such as Monkey distributed the food to a group of Pokémon.

"Eat it! They've all eaten it. You can't not eat it."

Seeing that Heracross still had no intention of eating the berries, Li Xuan brought out the other Pokémon, hinting that the other party would have to eat them.

"Hera..." (Thank you... but I don't know how to repay you.)
Heracross ate the pomelo in small bites, wondering what he was thinking.

"Eat slowly, someone will come to pick you up later."

Li Xuan rubbed Heracross's head and whispered, "After you get out, find a random forest to start a new life. If you can thrive, that will be my reward."

"Hera!" (But...)
Heracross's antennae trembled violently, and its forelimbs lifted and lowered, and in the end, it only squeezed out a few low buzzing sounds when its wings flapped.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys stay here and I'll come pick you up and take you home once things are settled."

Li Xuan flicked Heracross's horn with his fingers, turned around and left with his companions.

Just as he was about to step out of the door...

"Om..."

Heracross suddenly vibrated its wings, and the special frequency made the entire glass curtain wall buzz.

There were so many unspeakable emotions in that voice that even the tiny gravel on the ground trembled slightly.

Li Xuan stopped and listened attentively.

"Hera..." (I...want to be a warrior. Can you please take me in? I want to...fight for you!)
Heracro slowly bent its strong hind legs, and leaned forward with its shell-covered chest. It pressed its huge horn deeply into the ground, and its outstretched arms trembled slightly.

Li Xuan turned around and looked at Heracross.

Its eyes are particularly bright, showing the fighting spirit that has reappeared after going through hundreds of battles!
