Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

After saying that, the Great Wolfhound leader could no longer hold on and collapsed into the majestic embrace of the Garchomp.

The second-in-command of the Great Wolfhound camp reluctantly stuffed a roasted bone into his mouth and ran towards the camp gate.

......

A short while later, Shang Qiu saw a muscular man with a bruised and swollen face appear in his line of sight.

This muscular man looks like he's covered in hard, lumpy flesh, and his visual impact is even greater than that of a muscle-bursting mosquito!

The muscular man burst into tears the moment he saw Shang Qiu.

"Waaaaah—Brother Qiu, I've gone through fire and water for you this time."

"I'm not a contestant. I was beaten up by Mr. Marx's Gengar just as I was about to enter the competition area. Luckily, he recognized me, or I would be dead today."

"After I came in, I was attacked again by those Flower Birds that the Explosive Muscle Moth used to bully."

"After finally getting rid of them, I ran into some senior students who were juniors and seniors. They started hitting me right away."

"If I hadn't been carrying with me the award-winning essay from Yuxi District, 'My Father Jia Hongtao,' I wouldn't be seeing you today!"

After hearing Jia Qiong's story, the Great Wolfhound, Dragonite, and Corviknight all fell silent.

Is this person incompatible with the Hutuo River Secret Realm?

What elite trainer could take such a beating in a beginner-level dungeon?

Shang Qiu casually swiped a few scales from the little shark's arm, walked over to Jia Qiong, and put the scales into the mouths of Jia Qiong, Bulbasaur, and Buzzwole.

Jia Qiong's injuries are visibly healing, and he has transformed from a "muscular strongman" into an adorable chubby boy.

Seeing that Jia Qiong was alright, Shang Qiu stuffed a piece of roasted lamb leg into Jia Qiong's mouth and fell into deep thought.

These juniors and seniors are probably here for him. Although Jia Qiong has not been enrolled for long, everyone in the school with some influence knows that he is Professor Jia's son.

The beating and the pretense of recognizing him were merely a ploy to make Jia Qiong subconsciously seek out what he considered the safest place—himself.

Having figured all this out, Shang Qiu felt a sense of anticipation.

I wonder if any of the alliance's spies are among this group!

But before that, the most important thing is to appease Jia Qiong and then wait patiently for those people to come to our door.

"Don't worry, Bulbasaur, I will definitely avenge you and your servants!"

Shang Qiu knew that Bulbasaur was the real decision-maker among the three, since Jia Qiong and Buzzwole had similar ideas, so he made a promise to Bulbasaur first.

Upon hearing Shang Qiu's words, Bulbasaur's eyes lit up.

He knew that if the little shark was this ruthless, its master Shang Qiu must be even more ruthless. Now there was hope for revenge!

"Frog grass!"

Don't worry, Qiu-ge. I overheard that their target was you, so I left marks for them along the way.

Look at my rattan weaving! In order to leave a conspicuous green mark, I've almost squeezed out all the juice and turned it into a withered old vine!

Just then, another commotion arose at the entrance of the Great Wolfhound camp.

“Big dogs, we have no intention of attacking. We are only looking for a human named Shang Qiu.”

"As long as we get to see Shang Qiu, a large number of energy cubes will be delivered tomorrow!"

Chapter 499 Zhang Suolong challenges him to a duel; the peculiar spirit Ancient Sword Leopard appears!

The newcomers were Zhang Suolong and his group. They were surrounded by elves, each of them exuding arrogance as they looked at the guard dogs of the Great Hound camp.

This is their pride as elite peak/gym level trainers.

"Big dogs, we have no intention of attacking. Just let us see Shang Qiu, and we'll deliver a large amount of energy cubes tomorrow!"

After Zhang Suolong finished speaking, he confidently shook the folding fan in his hand, as if what he had just said would definitely be granted.

As one of the most outstanding members of an ancient family in contemporary times, he has this confidence!

Money paves the way, supplemented by the intimidation of force; this has always been Zoro's secret to his invincibility.

The guard dogs looked completely bewildered. Didn't they know what Shang Qiu symbolized in the Hutuo River Secret Realm?

How dare you cause trouble for Boss Shang Qiu!

Is this what they call "feeding kills"?

However... we can't just send them in like that. They just ate a meal personally prepared by Shang Qiu, and they're in a good mood. We can't let them cause trouble for Shang Qiu.

"Wang!"

Go back to where you came from, or we'll beat you up!

After the guard dog finished speaking, all the elves in Zhang Suoro's group showed angry expressions.

This Paw Patrol team dared to look down on their owner! Unforgivable!

A fierce battle was about to break out between the two sides. A lightning-chasing dog and a large guard dog were baring their teeth and facing off, almost kissing each other.

The large wolfhound and the electric dog were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to back down an inch, both crouching low and bringing their mouths ever closer together.

Just as the two were about to stick their tongues out, a coyote appeared at the camp entrance with a lamb chop in its mouth, tilting its head to look at the electric dog and the big wolfhound.

"Wang?"

Hey Dad, what are you doing with Auntie? Why are you kissing?

Master Shangqiu said to let his classmate go in. Mom was worried you hadn't eaten enough, so she asked me to bring you a piece of lamb chop.

Upon seeing the small mixed-breed dog appear, the large guard dog looked completely bewildered and awkwardly took two steps back.

"Son, what brings you here?"

"Baby, Daddy is fighting with Auntie."

"Since Lord Shangqiu allows us to go in, then we will not fight."

"By the way, please don't tell Mom about the fight between me and Auntie. Didn't you want to catch a little mouse to play with yesterday?"

"Dad just learned a new phrase today: 'a dog catching a mouse.'"

"As long as you don't tell Mommy, I'm going to catch a little mouse for you today!"

......

Seeing the large wolfhound move aside, Zhang Zoro nodded in satisfaction.

He had already foreseen this outcome. Their family, a prestigious family of sword-wielding clans, was a top-tier power even in the entire Jizhong region. How could they possibly fail to handle a mere large wolfhound clan?

It seems... these big dogs are quite sensible.

"Shihao, make a proper count of the number of people in the Great Wolfhound camp later, and send over the energy cubes tomorrow, ten energy cubes for each Great Wolfhound!"

After saying that, Zhang Suolong put away his folding fan and strolled into the Great Wolfhound camp first.

Judging from his posture, he looked like a leader inspecting work.

But the further he went in, the more Zhang Suolong felt uneasy.

Are we sure this is a race living in low-level secret realms?

Why are all the people in here elite level?!

It should be noted that elite-level combat power is already considered high-end in low-level secret realms, enough to rank among the top ten of a clan.

But isn't this big wolfhound in the top ten too many?

If you add their leader to the mix... this group is far more terrifying than he imagined!

What Zhang Suolong didn't know was that ever since the entire Great Wolfhound clan of the Secret Realm surrendered to Jida University, they had received intensive Marxist-Leninist training.

Wild Pokémon often experience a period of rapid growth in power after receiving training from humans.

These large wolfhounds are precisely the result of their rapid expansion and increased power.

If they weren't strong enough, they wouldn't deserve to be associated with the Gyarados clan.

Before he knew it, Zhang Suolong had crossed his arms over his chest, and his arrogant eyes gradually softened.

The other trainers on the school team behind him were also on high alert, fearing that these large wolfhounds might start a fight with them at the slightest provocation.

If that's the case, they'll have a hard time even making the top 50, let alone the top eight!

Five minutes later, Zhang Zoro and his group, filled with trepidation, finally reached the center of the camp.

At this moment, Shang Qiu was surrounded by a pack of large wolfhounds, and every now and then one of the wolfhounds would show a fierce look at Shang Qiu.

Shangqiu's elves were almost all released, watching the large wolfhounds "besieging" them as if facing a formidable enemy.

As Shang Qiu watched Zhang Suolong and the others arrive, he immediately checked their character panels.

Name: Zhang Suorong (Ji University student, top-tier gym leader)

Recent life turning point:

Bai: He hoped to suppress the host and gain the right to speak among the younger generation of the Imperial Sword Clan, but the plan failed. Fortunately, he was meticulous and the plan was not exposed.

Green: The Shield Sword Monster suffered a brutal beating, perfecting its shield form and greatly increasing its strength.

Are they really here to cause trouble?

Shang Qiu made a mental note of this person, and then looked at the person next to him.

Name: Zhang Shih-hao (Ji University student, Dojo-level trainer)

Recent life turning point:

Green: As Zhang Zoro's underling, Zhang Shihao beat up Bulbasaur and others, successfully tracked down Bulbasaur to find its host, and gained the boss's appreciation.

Green: The Shield Sword Monster suffered a brutal beating, perfecting its shield form and greatly increasing its strength.

As for the other people's panels, it can be deduced that they came to help Shang Qiu, but they were simply misled.

However, in general, none of these can be considered enemies; a little punishment is sufficient.

After reviewing the profiles of these individuals, Shang Qiu had a clear understanding of their situation and pretended to be overjoyed.

"Hey seniors, help me!"

"How did you know I was surrounded by giant wolfhounds? That's amazing! You seniors are so brave and courageous, running in to rescue me!"
