Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 255 "Leader Pidgeot lashed out in a fit of extreme anger!"

Just as Akin was in a daze.

The Cyndaquil in the game was the first to react.

Ee-ee—

It cried out anxiously.

It even nudged Ah Xiang's calf with its head, trying to wake the trainer who had suddenly frozen in place and urge him to escape the danger quickly.

But Ah Xiang was like a puppet with its strings cut. Without Ah Jin's control, he didn't react at all and just stood there blankly.

In the sky, Pidgey and the flock of Pidgey, who were the first to launch their dive, were already close at hand with their sharp beaks and wings wrapped in Flying-type energy.

The whistling sound of the air being torn apart seemed to be right next to my ears!

That's too late!

Cyndaquil glanced at its trainer, who remained motionless, a resolute glint in its small eyes.

It would never abandon Ah Xiang and run away alone!

"Cyndaquil has made up its mind to protect its trainer!"

"Due to its strong will, Cyndaquil's rank has changed!"

"Cyndaquil's level has been increased to 10!"

"Cyndaquil has learned the move: Ember!"

The dialog box will appear the moment it pops up.

Buzz—

The pores on its back instantly emitted blazing flames, and its small body resolutely leaped forward, standing firmly in front of Ah Xiang!

Trying to use its still weak body to withstand the overwhelming "brave bird attack"!

This tragic and loyal scene was witnessed by Ajin, who had just come to his senses.

"Bomb Taro, you bastard—"

Ah Jin murmured, the panic in his eyes instantly replaced by a burning emotion.

He suddenly grinned, revealing a smile full of arrogance and confidence.

"Don't underestimate me, you bastards!"

He gripped the handle tightly, his voice carrying a do-or-die spirit.

"I am Ah Jin!"

Just as Pidgey and the Pidgeys were about to strike Cyndaquil's fur...

Ah Xiang in the game screen has moved!

A flawless, almost impossible maneuver to execute with normal human reaction speed was pulled off by Ajin's near-instinctive gaming talent!

Quick start sliding tackle!

Seamlessly connected rolls!

On the screen, amidst the dust and tumbling, Ah Xiang scooped up the Cyndaquil, which was about to "heroically sacrifice" itself, from an extremely tricky angle.

Then, taking advantage of the momentum of the roll, it moved like a fish in an incredible trajectory, narrowly missing the edge of the dense "Brave Bird" light and shadow, perfectly dodging!

"Hiss—"

Chris, watching from the side, gasped in shock.

A barely perceptible hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Yin's eyes.

But the crisis is far from over!

The first wave of birds that missed their dive quickly rose higher, while the second wave of Pidgey and Pidgey, poised to take off, had already adjusted their angles!

Like a second volley of arrows, they pounced down on Ah Xiang, who had just regained his footing!

"Explosion Taro! Now! Use smoke on the ground!"

A Jin's face showed no sign of panic, only the burning fighting spirit and absolute confidence that came after a successful maneuver. His voice was fast and steady.

Following his command, the Fireball Rat, held in Ah Xiang's arms, understood perfectly. It took a deep breath and then sprayed the dry ground beneath its feet with force!

puff-

Thick, black smoke exploded instantly!

However, because it was released close to the ground, and because of the continuous blowing force from the Cyndaquil, the smoke did not rise vertically.

Instead, it surged and spread violently outwards like a black tide, instantly forming a huge, ever-moving cloud of smoke.

It completely blocked the view of the remaining Pidgey and Pidgey in the sky!

Of course, A-Xiang and Cyndaquil, shrouded in thick smoke, also lost all vision, and the screen became a gray blur.

But this is nothing to Akin!

During that lightning-fast roll, he had already constructed and memorized a precise topographical map of the surrounding area within several meters in his mind!

Under Ajin's control, Axiang, who was in the thick fog, seemed to have activated a "X-ray vision cheat".

Holding the Fireball Mouse, she moved without hesitation, nimbly weaving through the irregular trees and rocks in the forest, perfectly avoiding all obstacles.

In just a few breaths.

He then distanced himself sufficiently from the center of the smoke, and with a nimble side roll, silently disappeared into a relatively dense thicket of bushes.

The smoke didn't last long.

After the smoke appeared, Pidgey and the Pidgey birds in the sky repeated their trick, flapping their wings vigorously and creating whirlwinds.

Soon, the thick smoke was blown away completely.

However, the spot was already empty.

Ah Xiang and Fireball Mouse vanished without a trace.

Losing their target threw the remaining Pidgeys and Pidgeys in the sky into confusion, causing them to circle and chirp aimlessly.

"Phew—finally—"

Thinking the crisis was over, Ah Jingang wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

But to his surprise, the leader bird, the Pidgeot, let out an extremely loud cry at that moment.

A majestic cry!

"Our leader, Pidgeot, believes you haven't left and has ordered a search!"

The disorganized flock of birds heard the command, calmed down, and then began to move in an orderly fashion through the nearby woods and bushes.

A thorough search was launched behind the rocks!

"No way?! You can play like this?!"

Ajin had a tense expression on his face and almost dropped the controller.

He looked around at Silver and Chris, then pointed at the Pidgey on the screen, which, like a supervisor, was still hovering in the air and showed no sign of leaving, and loudly accused it.

"How could it do this! How could it even guard a corpse?! Does it even know how to guard it properly? It doesn't even know where I am, yet it's guarding me!"

The only response he received was a barely suppressed chuckle on Little Silver's face and Chris's headache-inducing expression that said, "I knew this would happen."

"Hey! You bastard! It's all your fault!"

Ah Xiang and Fireball Mouse were completely trapped in this small bush, unable to move.

Akin decisively shifted his anger, giving Xiaoyin, who looked completely unconcerned, a harmless "Iron Mountain Lean".

But because he was still holding the game controller, his movements looked quite comical at one point.

"I knew you weren't up to anything by suddenly helping me! Are you satisfied now?!"

Xiao Yin shrugged indifferently, her tone flat, but her words were chilling.

"I was just stating an objective fact. As for you being stuck here—it only shows that you're not good enough."

"Alright, you two, stop arguing—"

In the end, Chris stepped in to act as a peacemaker and interrupted the childish argument.

"Our primary goal now is to figure out how to escape from here—"

There's no other way.

Ah Jin immediately adopted a dejected tone, as if he had lost all will to live, and listlessly slumped back onto the sofa.

He even temporarily abandoned the game and started randomly pressing the keys, making the "rock-paper-scissors" mini-game animation on the screen between A-Xiang and Cyndaquil.

"I can't win a fight, and I can't leave—it seems like the only way to survive is to squat here and lie flat. I don't want to suddenly lose hundreds of dollars for no reason."

"you----"

Chris was so angry at his self-destructive attitude that she wanted to say something, but she felt that reasoning with this guy was a waste of breath.

Her eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea occurred to her. She tentatively asked, "How about... I give it a try?"

"for you?"

Akin glanced at Chris strangely, but he was truly at his wit's end and couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock.

He pursed his lips, a mixture of reluctance and curiosity in his eyes, and handed over the handle.

"Okay—let's make it clear first, if you resolve the crisis, you have to give me back the controller right away~"

Chris took a deep breath, and the moment she took the handle, her entire demeanor seemed to become more focused and sharp.

Instead of immediately controlling her character, she quickly opened the backpack interface and scanned the inventory.

When she saw the five Poké Balls her mother had prepared in advance in her backpack, she felt reassured and had a clear plan.

"Cyndaquil! Get ready, it's time to run!"

She first gave a lighthearted reminder to the Cyndaquil in the game, then her eyes narrowed, and she controlled A-Xiang to dash out of the bushes without hesitation!

唳—

The Pidgey leader, which had been circling in the air, instantly locked onto the suddenly appearing "little thief," a cold glint flashing in its sharp eyes.

He immediately ducked down, assuming a standard dive attack stance, and energy began to gather in his wings!

but.

Even faster than its diving motion was a red and white Poké Ball that drew a famously bizarre arc!

A hint of anthropomorphic disdain flashed in Pidgeot's eyes. It simply flapped its wings casually and turned slightly to the side, easily dodging the seemingly clumsy Poké Ball.

It was preparing to accelerate further to complete this sure-fire attack.

The Poké Ball that had already passed it somehow managed to spin in the air, tracing a beautiful C-shaped arc that defied the laws of physics.

It hit the wing root junction precisely from behind!

With a flash of red light, Pidgeot was forcibly pulled into its Poké Ball before it even had a chance to let out a startled cry!

"Ah! How could I forget!"

When Akin saw this incredible shot, his eyes instantly lit up with admiration, and he looked at Chris with intense fervor.

His eyes held no ulterior motives, only the purest admiration and awe for the strong.

"Chris, you are the one who captured her!"

"I know! You must be planning to use your invincible taming skills to capture that Pidgeotto directly, right?!"

"If I succeed! Won't I be invincible in the early game?! Riding a giant bird to beat the game will be a piece of cake!!"

Chris blushed slightly under his undisguised adoration, but she did not respond to Akin's fantasies.

He simply stared intently at the screen, silently controlling Ah Xiang.

Just in time with the Poké Balls bobbing on the ground, throw the remaining four Poké Balls in your hand one by one at different angles and speeds!

"Now!"

Her eyes sharpened, and the instant she threw the last ball, she immediately controlled Ah Xiang to bend down again and scoop up the still somewhat dazed Fireball Mouse.

Then, without looking back, he ran towards the end of the forest road!

He didn't even glance at the swaying Poké Ball in the sky!

Tame Pidgeotto?

Chris never had such an unrealistic idea!

She's the one who captured it, not Superman!

As a holder of a special encyclopedia, her special ability leans more towards a pinnacle of throwing skills.

Being able to hit the desired Pokémon with the Poké Ball at the perfect angle, arc, and timing greatly increases the catch rate under normal circumstances.

But that doesn't mean she can ignore the basic rules!

I want to catch a Pokémon.

Especially this tribal leader in front of us, who is at full strength and has been buffed with rage, shouldn't we at least weaken it to a state of unconsciousness first?

Hitting a fully healed boss with a ball? That's pure fantasy!

Chris's initial and only purpose.

It utilizes the brief stun effect of the Poké Ball to create valuable time for escape!

Clearly, her tactics were successful!

In the sky, the first Poké Ball that had absorbed Pidgeot into a red light shook slightly before exploding with a "bang"!

The Pidgey, having broken free, visibly increased its rage level by one level!

However, before it could even let out a loud cry to vent its anger...

The second Poké Ball followed seamlessly, tracing a tricky arc, and slammed into its newly unfolded feathers with a "thud"!

call out!

The red light flashed again, and it was forcibly taken back into the ball!

As the leader of Pidgey and Pidgeotto in this forest, and the strongest individual among them, it is impossible for it to be easily captured by a Poké Ball when it is almost at full strength.

Shake it!

Explode!

Then—the third, the fourth, the fifth—

The Poké Balls were like tracking missiles, one after another, precise and deadly.

By utilizing that brief period of "sphere swaying," a perfect control chain was formed!

When Pidgeotto finally broke free from the fifth Poké Ball and soared through the sky once more.

Its burning rage was almost bursting into real flames!

But right now—

Where are that despicable human and that fire rat now?

"The leader, Pidgeot, suddenly became enraged in a fit of extreme anger!"

嘎—

It let out a deafening roar.

Then, directing the entire flock, it began a more meticulous, and even more futile, carpet search of the forest.

At this moment, in the game screen...

Ah Xiang, already carrying the Cyndaquil, ran wildly out of the forest road area.

Not far ahead, the outlines of houses can be faintly seen.

"Here, take it back."

With a gentle smile, Chris handed the controller back to Akin, who was staring in disbelief.

Although Chris's actions were completely different from his expected "domineering subjugation".

But she did escape unscathed from that desperate situation in a way that could be described as art!

Moreover, the entire process was smooth and unhurried, and they were not hit by any attack from beginning to end!

The most outrageous thing was those Poké Ball throws—they were just so, so, so cool!

It was as if it had been precisely calculated by a supercomputer, completely controlling that arrogant Pidgeot, leaving it no chance to resist!

"That's amazing!!"

Akin grasped Chris's hand as she handed him the handle, his face serious and solemn.

"Class representative—no! Miss Chris, the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, skill and courage!"

He stared into her eyes, striking what he thought was his most handsome pose.

"Please, you must accept me as your disciple! Teach me the supreme technique of Poké Ball throwing!"

"Um, that—it's actually not difficult—"

Feeling the warmth from the back of his hand, Chris blushed and lowered her head shyly, avoiding eye contact with him. Her voice became stammering.

"All you need to do is—find the right timing, calculate the lead and angle, and then—throw it out—"

'

She paused, then added in a barely audible voice, "If you really want to learn—when you have time, I...I can give you special training—"

"Special training?"

These two words acted like a keyword, instantly triggering Ah Jin's "laziness" switch.

He decisively pulled the controller back from Chris's hand and refocused his attention on the game screen.

While checking on Ah Xiang's condition, he muttered in a casual tone, "Special training is the most troublesome thing—it's tiring and boring."

"I just want to learn how to do it in the game, actually throwing the ball in real life is out of the question —"

Chris's blush instantly froze, and an overwhelming sense of embarrassment and annoyance surged into her heart.

It's hard.

Chris's fist was truly hard.
