Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Chapter 83 The Little Blacksmith: Watch Me Sneak Away with My Sweet Treat

The worm felt wronged.

I was just taking advantage of the good weather at noon to crawl out of the soil and bask in the sun.

As a result, for some unknown reason, a little guy holding a hammer fell from the sky and landed right on the soft soil he had dug out.

If I had to say, it was I who helped it and prevented it from getting too badly hurt!

Instead of being grateful, it snatched the hammer and smacked its own tail.

He was only instinctively retaliating because he was in pain, and then he was suddenly ganged up on by two Pokémon?

Well—although I initially wanted to teach those two arrogant Pokémon a lesson—

But who knew these two would be even more perverted than the other!

It used a fire-attribute move that countered its own abilities, and its attack style was completely incomprehensible.

Facts aside.

I'm currently in a weaker position!

Tuotuo the worm grew angrier the more it thought about it.

No!

I am the leader of all the worms in East District 3, how can I fall like this!

Just as it was about to give the order for all the worms to launch a full-scale attack, a piercing burning sensation suddenly came from its back, which had been scraped twice.

It opened its mouth in pain, but couldn't make a sound.

???

The white Pokémon's Fire-type move didn't burn me, but the next Pokémon did?

You used a fire-attribute move—no, did you even use a move??

The Tuotuo Earthworm, which was extremely afraid of fire, had no intention of continuing the fight, let alone summoning its minions.

Calling them out would only embarrass the animal itself.

Although I don't know why those two Pokémon didn't press their advantage, now is the perfect time to escape!

slip!

Tuotuo worm smashed through the soil behind it with its iron head, then used a digging technique to disappear from the ground.

As long as it's possible—as long as it's possible to get to that place—

Eat those magical herbs.

I can return to my peak!

"Wow! The Treasure Lord Tuotuo Earthworm has disappeared! Will Oreki-senpai press his advantage?"

Although reluctant, Qishu unconsciously switched to commentary mode.

For some reason, after partnering with Oreki for so long, she always felt a lack of passion when she streamed alone.

Perhaps this is the mutual appreciation between livestreaming geniuses!

Qi Shu thought to himself.

Press the attack while the momentum is high?

Of course, we need to do that, but not now. We need to make the enemy reveal the location of their stronghold.

Oreki gave Kirlia instructions in his mind.

"Use your superpower to lock onto the worm and remember where it disappeared."

Since we're already here, how can we not bring back some Parthian specialties?

Secret seasoning, a top-grade seasoning only recorded in the Book of Vermilion and Purple.

There are five flavors in total, each of which not only tastes excellent, but also has wonderful uses such as healing hidden physical ailments and strengthening the body, making it an essential item for home and travel.

In the story, even the two cover gods, Gullardon and Milton, were able to regain their lost abilities.

This is enough to demonstrate the authority of the secret seasoning!

Oreki couldn't even imagine how delicious Tire's cat food would be with these seasonings!

Of course, the secret seasoning recipe is only recorded in the book of Zhu Zi.

So even though the Padians knew that giant Pokémon would occasionally appear in certain areas and named them "Master Pokémon," they did not know the specific reason for this phenomenon.

Or perhaps they simply don't want to know.

After all, even regional PhDs have been missing for a long time, so who would be willing to investigate these things?

A sense of relaxation has always been a fundamental characteristic of the Parthians.

"Chiru".

Kirlia agreed and used her psychic powers to lock onto the fleeing Totoro.

"Chiru?"

Suddenly, it seemed to have discovered something and transmitted the situation it sensed to Oreki in its mind.

"You mean, the worm is digging slower and slower, and besides the burning flames emanating from its body, it has another negative status effect I've never seen before?"

Oreki confirmed this in his mind.

Kirullian nodded seriously.

It is absolutely impossible for it to be mistaken.

Well, they really can coexist!

Oreki already knew what the negative status effect Kirlia was referring to was the tearing effect after Tiremy's dual sword attack.

Furthermore, according to the other party's description, the damage from burns and lacerations is calculated separately.

It's important to know that in the real Pokémon world, the five main status conditions cannot coexist.

It is impossible to achieve both poisoning and burn-related blood loss.

But now, Tire Cat, equipped with dual swords, can do it!

Speaking of which, Kirlia has fought quite a bit with Tiremy during this period.

Why didn't it ever experience this negative state?

Oreki clearly remembered that it was displayed as "after equipping", not that it would only be triggered when using dual swords.

Since the immediate problem was not yet resolved, Oreki did not delve into it further and walked straight toward the bewildered young blacksmith.

The most important thing on this trip must not be forgotten.

"Oh ho ho, it seems that Oreki-senpai doesn't want to press his advantage, but instead chooses to rescue the wild little blacksmith first. Is this the compassion of a Level 2 researcher?!"

Seeing that Oreki had made a decision, Kiju immediately added his explanation.

It's not that I don't want to.

[That's right, these Pokémon run incredibly fast!]

Finally, Qishu saw a comment where he could chime in and immediately reminded him.

"The Pokémon of the Master are all very powerful, so ordinary trainers are advised not to attack them if they encounter them!"

As soon as she finished speaking, some comments like "Qishu's mom is so thoughtful" floated across the screen.

But the discussion was mostly about Oreki.

Qi Shu looked quite helpless.

Is this really my own live stream?

[Is nobody concerned about the strength that Tire Cat just demonstrated?]

[Yes, brothers! Now, besides special dishes, I have another item I want.]

My little charcoal servant asked me if it could have such a cool weapon.

误！

I've found another comment that I can reply to.

Kiju spoke again, "This viewer named 'Shiny Charcoal Samurai,' your Charcoal Samurai comes with a cool weapon after evolving!"

【Oh my god! Why didn't you say so earlier!】×99

"??"

I don't want to broadcast this anymore!!

Kiju stopped looking at the comments and focused on manipulating Rotom on his phone to give Oreki a different perspective.

As a result, they caught Oreki taking a Poké Ball out of his pocket.

【Wait, what happened to the compassion of a Level 2 Researcher? Why are they taking out balls??】

[Oreki: I just wanted to give the little blacksmith a home, what did I do wrong!]

"Go, Poké Ball!"

This was the first time Oreki had ever shouted those words.

When he caught the two little ones, he never actually threw a Poké Ball properly.

Although the young blacksmith's condition wasn't something he could control.

boom!

The Poké Ball hit the little blacksmith squarely on the head, and he shrank into a red light and was absorbed into it.

Nemo would surely be starry-eyed and filled with adoration if she saw this.

Buzz!

The Poké Ball started spinning.

One, two, three—

boom!

The Poké Ball opened immediately.

"Kanon!"

The young blacksmith stormed out, brandishing his hammer in a huff.

"Hey, it failed."

Oreki immediately became interested.

"Then don't blame us for using violence, Tire Meow."

"Meow!"

Tire Cat's arms hung down, her paws gripping two swords tightly, the blades appearing somewhat cold in the sunlight.

"Kanon?"

The little blacksmith's short legs, which were moving forward, immediately paused, as if he were thinking.

next second.

"Kanaikanaψ ("∇)"

The angry expression vanished instantly, replaced by the joy of discovering a treasure.

"Meow?"

Tire Cat was unsure whether or not to make a move.

Involuntarily.

It turned to look at Oreki.

Huh?

Why does the trainer have such a strange expression?

Suddenly, a tremendous force came from the hilt of the sword on the right claw.

Tire Cat suddenly lowered her head.

"Meow!"

My sword!!
