When they sense something is wrong, they like to act cute to get away with it.

"Gray-yo~"

Having just snatched the sandwich from Ash's hand, and not even a fraction full, Gliscor prepared to ride the wind away.

The stares of Pikachu and other Pokémon around it were terrifying.

Having just witnessed his companions being defeated one by one, Scorpio finally realized how terrifying these Pokémon were.

Without further hesitation, he leaped into the air, spread his arms and legs wide, and frantically ran away on the wind.

"Wait a minute, Scorpio, don't run away!"

But before Scorpio could take off, it felt a tremendous force coming from its tail, and no matter how it resisted, it could not rise into the air.

Immediately following was the voice of the human whose food had just been stolen by it.

Oh no, there's no escaping now!

This was the first thought in Scorpio's mind.

"Gray-yo~"

As if it had thoroughly studied Sun Tzu's Art of War, the scorpion immediately fell to the ground, clasped its pincers together, and begged for mercy from Ash with a mournful face.

"Ash, this Gliscor is really... peculiar!" Brock said, giving Ash a relatively fair assessment after seeing the intention in Ash's eyes to catch it.

"I know, I actually quite like this guy~"

Seeing the Gliscor acting like a coward while sticking out its tongue and trying to be pitiful, Ash felt even more eager to capture the Gliscor in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a red and white ball, placed it in front of the crying and cute Scorpio, and showed a kind smile.

"Scorpio, want to come with me? I can't guarantee anything else, but I'll make sure you're well-fed—nine meals in three days is a certainty!"

"Um, Pokémon shouldn't be able to be eaten by mere Pokémon..."

When Xiao Guang first saw how Pokémon could be caught using Pokémon food, she couldn't help but remind Ash.

"Gray-yo~"

But before he could finish speaking, the crying Scorpion stopped abruptly and extended its purple pincers to deliberately collide with the switch on the Poké Ball.

It transformed into a beam of red light and was absorbed into the sphere, flashing symbolically a few times before settling down again.

This left Xiao Guang speechless, his little mouth agape.

"Ha~ Dawn, what did you just say?" Ash held up a Poké Ball and proudly gestured to Dawn, who had abruptly stopped.

"No, no~" Xiao Guang shook his head rather embarrassedly after being slapped in the face.

She truly never expected that the timid and cute Scorpio would be so spineless, jumping straight into the ball as soon as it was announced that it was all-you-can-eat, which really refreshed her understanding of the world.

Thinking about this, Xiao Guang felt a surge of heat.

To divert attention, he pointed curiously at the Gliscor that had been knocked down beside him and asked, "Ash, why don't you just catch Gliscor?"

This is also a big question for Xiao Guang: if you're going to raise Scorpion, why not just capture its evolved form?

"Because this one is destined to be with me!"

After a quick thought, Xiao Zhi gave his answer.

This answer may sound a bit perfunctory, but it's not.

After all, this unique Scorpio does indeed have a very special relationship with him.

Timid, cute, and prone to crying—these are practically the defining characteristics of this Scorpio.

He preferred the Scorpio King's intriguing soul to his powerful exterior.

"But speaking of which, why are there so many Scorpions in the city? There's even a Scorpion King! Shouldn't this species live in the wild?"

Looking at the Scorpios and Scorpio Kings lying all over the ground around him, Xin Xiaogang stroked his chin, feeling very puzzled.

"Who knows?" Ash shrugged. "Maybe the wind blew it in!"

Looking at the Scorpions lying on the ground, and considering the strong winds around them, they came to the answer.

But none of that mattered. After he finished, he called Officer Jenny and dealt with the fallen Scorpions and Scorpion King.

Officer Jenny, always dutiful, quickly arrived at the scene and was astonished by what she saw. She also thanked Ash and his friends for their help.

Due to the recent strong winds, a large number of Scorpions, including the Scorpion King, have been blown into the city, causing problems for the city.

It was beyond Officer Jenny's expectations that they would encounter such a powerful trainer today, who easily helped them solve their problems.

“Beautiful Officer Jenny, it’s all my duty to do this, just so I can spend time with you… Ouch, my head is spinning!”

But before he could finish speaking, the unruly frog skillfully pinched his kidney and then ruthlessly pulled him aside.

Ignoring Xiao Gang, who was seen as a farce, the three of them then released the scorpions and the Scorpion King into the wild forest with Miss Officer Jenny.

Each of Xiaozhi and his two companions received a reward.

The amount was not small; the three of them together had a total of 100,000 Alliance Coins, which was an unexpected bonus after subduing Scorpion.

Chapter 139 Arrival in Veiled City, Raiji's Invitation

Veiled City is located in the eastern part of the Sinnoh region, built on steep, excavated rocks, while the north is the ocean.

The entire city is famous for the meteorite in its museum, something that Team Galactic, an underground organization in the Sinnoh region, covets.

Today, after a day's journey, Ash and his friends arrived in Veilstone City from the lush green city they had previously visited.

The three are currently on the outskirts of the city, preparing to enter Veil City via the road.

But as expected, yet another unexpected event occurred.

A huge, azure energy ball suddenly appeared out of nowhere, heading straight for Ash's handsome face.

Startled, Ash conjured an even larger wave missile and threw it out.

The terrifying scene was resolved by repelling and detonating the smaller energy ball.

"Who is it?! How can someone be so inconsiderate as to randomly use skills?"

"Pica~"

Xiao Guang and Pikachu looked around indignantly. What if such a huge energy ball hit someone?

Even if it doesn't hit anyone, it's still bad if it hits flowers and plants.

"Let's find the source of the energy ball!" Brock said seriously, observing his surroundings to calm the angry Pikachu and Dawn down.

With Xiaogang's encouragement, both of them quickly calmed down.

After all, Ash was protected by the power of Aura and was not threatened.

"Everyone, the attack is coming from over there, let's go check it out!" Using his aura and the constantly flying energy balls, Ash quickly pinpointed the location.

After walking about ten steps, I stepped over the bushes and saw a breathtaking scene:

A short-haired girl with a band-aid on her nose is barefoot and constantly dodging Lucario's attacks, including the azure blue Aura Sphere.

This young girl, however, used her bare hands and unique footwork to send the wave missile flying back.

"So awesome~"

Xiao Guang covered his mouth, his blue eyes turning into starry ones, unable to believe what he was seeing.

Because humans were able to continuously dodge the Pokémon's attacks and even knock Lucario's Aura Sphere away.

What surprised Xiaoguang was the other person's age.

In terms of appearance, she looks almost exactly like her and Xiaozhi.

"Indeed, no wonder he can become the Gym Leader of the Veiled Gym! He's got some skills." Ash sighed inwardly.

"If nothing unexpected happens, those two should be a trainer and a Pokémon, but why would Lucario attack the trainer?"

Xiao Gang was puzzled. He could tell that Lucario wasn't using his full strength, and his eyes were filled with disappointment.

That look in his eyes was just like the way he looked at his immature parents at home.

"Miss Li, please have a gym battle with me!"

Since he had encountered a real person, Ash directly asked for a battle.

"Wow, to become a Gym Leader at such a young age? That's really impressive!"

Ignoring the other party's response, Hikari was even more surprised by Satoshi's words.

Unexpectedly, the young girl in front of me who could withstand the Aura Sphere with her bare hands was actually a gym leader even younger than Brock.

Meanwhile, upon hearing someone challenge them to a duel, the battle between Ali and Lucario instantly ceased.

Lucario looked at Lee expectantly, hoping that his opponent would accept the battle.

"Sorry, could you challenge other gyms instead? I don't plan to become a gym trainer anymore!" Lee gave an awkward smile and shook his head in refusal.

"Ooo~"
