My Pokémon Story of Seasons

"Could the Pokémon that meets all these criteria be Vinegar?"

Tong Hua carefully recalled the thought process: "Judging from the shape, that tentacle is likely a vine whip, so it should be a Grass-type Pokémon."

In Sinnoh, the Turtwig family, the Budew family, and the Fangcage family are also possibilities.

But only giant vines have those deep blue tendrils.

The more Tong Hua thought about it, the more convinced he became that his guess was correct.

"The biggest problem now is that I don't know why it did that. Was it just a prank? Or was it trying to get my attention and convey some message to me...?"

Tong Hua closed her eyes, and the scene of that tentacle hooking at her reappeared in her mind.

Just looking at this one clip, it seems like a provocation, or you could say it's an attempt to get me to come over.

"But why doesn't it just show itself? I don't understand. I guess I should go back to the scene and take a look."

Tong Hua immediately decided to return to the stream to find out what was going on, and the grass turtle and foam squirrel that had just woken up also insisted on going.

Tong Hua couldn't persuade them otherwise, so she could only tell them not to stray too far from her side.

"Big Milk Tank and Sweet Bamboo, please keep watching the house and remember not to open the door to strangers."

"Miru!" "Ama!"

Big Milk Jar and Sweet Bamboo nodded; they definitely wouldn't open the door for strangers.

"Then I'll leave it to you all, we'll be right back!"

Tong Hua led the grass turtle and foam squirrel out of the house and ran towards the stream where they had been fishing.

The two Celebi followed Tong Hua, also very interested in the true form of the suddenly appearing tentacle.

"If I remember correctly, it should be..."

……

Tong Hua, carrying four Pokémon and holding an umbrella, jogged all the way back to the vicinity of the stream.

The rain not only did not decrease, but it also began to gradually intensify.

As soon as Tong Hua and his group arrived near the pond, they heard a commotion coming from the pond not far away.

"Game!"

The grass turtle suddenly became excited and sped towards the pond.

"What's wrong?" Tong Hua looked in the direction of the pond and saw water splashing and the faint sounds of Pokémon fighting coming from there.

"Oh no!" Tong Hua's heart tightened. "Could something have happened to the Big-tailed Tanuki family?"

He immediately changed direction and ran towards the pond with his Pokémon.

At this moment, only a few big-toothed raccoons are struggling in the pond.

Beneath the pond, something lurking was stirring up the water with many thick tentacles!

The patriarch of the family, the big-tailed raccoon, and the other big-toothed raccoons were still out fishing when they were the first to return and happened to witness this scene.

All of this started a dozen minutes earlier when the first returning raccoon accidentally discovered the thing and curiously threw a pebble to test it...

As a result, the thing suddenly started churning the water like crazy, making all the fish in the pond dizzy!

Several Magikarp fled ashore as if escaping a disaster, while the ordinary fish had no chance to resist and could only drift with the current...

"Lili!"

Upon seeing this, the big-toothed raccoons all jumped into the water, trying to drive the thing away, but none of them could get close to it.

Those tentacles are strong and powerful, and they move extremely fast even underwater. Even the big-toothed raccoons, who are usually good at underwater activities, cannot completely avoid them.

Just as the big-toothed raccoons were in distress, Tong Hua and his group finally arrived.

The sight before him made Tong Hua gasp; even in his previous life, he had never witnessed such a scene.

A large clump of what looked like seaweed was lurking in the pond, with countless twisted tentacles thrashing wildly beneath the surface...

"So depressing..."

However, this also convinced Tong Hua that the thing was most likely a giant vine!

"We need to calm him down first!" Tong Hua stopped the big-toothed raccoons who were about to go into the water, and then looked at her companions beside her.

"La-beep!" Pink Celebi volunteered to help Tong Hua.

And even she recognized it; the thing underwater was undoubtedly a giant vine that lived in the forest.

It was supposed to be a gentle Pokémon, but I don't know why it turned out like this.

"Please, Celebi, calm that giant vine down!"

"Ra-beep!" The pink Celebi flew lightly to the center of the pond, its body beginning to emit a soft green light.

She slowly released the healing bell sound, and rings of healing sound waves rippled across the water's surface.

Seeing this, the green Celebi joined in, and the bells of the two Celebi mingled together, forming a warm light curtain that enveloped the entire pond.

The wildly waving tentacles gradually slowed down, and the ripples on the water's surface became calmer.

Taking the opportunity, Tong Hua stepped forward and shouted down into the pond, "Giant vines! We mean no harm! Please calm down!"

"Game!" "Terrible!"

The grass turtle and the foam squirrel also shouted loudly, and the two little guys were doing their best to help Tong Hua.

"Lili!" The raccoon dogs on the shore also joined Tong Hua and the others in persuading the Pokémon. With everyone's efforts, the Pokémon underwater finally responded.

The shadow in the water gradually rose, and finally a huge figure emerged from the water.

Just as Tong Hua had thought, it was indeed a giant vine.

But its condition was a bit strange; its big, watery eyes were red and swollen, as if it had just been crying.

"Momo..."

Even its cries sounded so aggrieved, making Tong Hua even more convinced that this giant vine must have encountered some kind of difficulty.

"What exactly happened? Tell us, and we can help you."

Tong Hua slowly approached the edge of the pond, squatted down, and tried to make her voice sound gentle.

The giant vine's tentacles swayed gently on the water's surface, some of which became entangled and were torn off.

Numerous vines floated scattered on the water's surface, almost turning the water a bluish-green color.

"Momo..." The giant vines drooped their heads, their tentacles stirring the water unconsciously, appearing very uneasy.

The pink shrub gently flew to the giant vine and patted its head with its little hand, as if to comfort it.

Green Rabbi also came over and used healing waves to calm its emotions.

"Momo?" The giant vine seemed to recognize the green Celebi, and its wariness immediately disappeared.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you," Tong Hua said softly. "Have you run into some trouble?"

After pondering for a while, the giant vine nodded, then walked out of the pond and waved to Tong Hua.

"Does this mean we should follow them?"

"Big-toothed raccoons, I'm sorry, could I leave this place to you?"

"Lili!"

Thank you.

Having received an affirmative answer, Tong Hua and the four Pokémon followed behind the giant vine, leaving the bilbies to clean up the mess in the pond.

"Lili!"

The raccoons put all the Magikarp that had jumped out of the pond back into the water, and also collected the vines that the giant vines had torn off.

These vines are a good food source for them, and they are also sturdy and durable, so they can be kept as building materials.

This was a good deal.

With this in mind, the big-toothed raccoons had even more energy to work.

At the same time, the giant vines led Tong Hua and his group into the Wind-Swept Forest, where damp branches and leaves constantly pattered against them.

Raindrops slid down the leaves, and the air was filled with the scent of earth and grass.

"Momo..." The giant vine suddenly stopped, its tentacles pointing forward.

Tong Hua pushed aside the branches blocking his view, and a waterfall appeared before him.

Just then, another person arrived.

"Damn it, the trail ends here. Are there no more clues?"

Tong Hua looked over at the sound and saw a person talking to himself by the pool below the waterfall.

Judging from his clothes and appearance, he seems to be a patrolman.
