Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

The presence of the rabbi has indeed brought peace to this region.

Even occasional playful fights and collisions don't affect the overall art style.

only.

There's always a group of guys whose appearance turns this forest into chaos once again.

"Saru—!!"

One by one, dark ape-like spirits swung in, swinging their vines like Tarzan. They wantonly snatched the tree fruits without treasuring them, and their behavior of shooing away the surrounding wild spirits restored a bit of the true law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, to the originally peaceful forest.

After causing the destruction, these "despicable" beings swaggered away, leaving behind a mess and the lingering fear of the wild elves.

At last.

The wild elves, seemingly used to such encounters, vented their anger for a while before slowly dispersing.

And just a few hours after this mess appeared.

A young man, riding a black horse and with a slightly pale face, appeared here with several lively elves.

"Kuku!"

"Gah!"

Xiong's apprentice and Cong Youbing took the lead, one carrying a large scallion to clear the way, and the other leading the black horse forward.

When they saw the mess on the ground, they both showed their resentment.

This is the third place they have encountered that has been damaged.

Although the previous two places were also in a mess, it seems that a long time had passed between them.

And here, perhaps only a few hours have passed.

This can still be seen from the freshness of the broken fruit scattered all over the ground.

Both Onion Soldier and Bear Apprentice were disgusted by these acts of wanton destruction of the natural fruits in the forest.

If the other party is only stealing food for survival, then they won't have such strong emotions.

after all.

It's all about survival; people use their fists to settle things, so there's no way to say who's right or wrong.

But they were just causing destruction, wasting a lot of food and destroying a lot of tree fruits, which made Onion Soldier and Bear Apprentice very angry.

Not just them.

Sylveon and Volcarona weren't too happy to see this.

"It should be very close."

Xia Yan, on the other hand, was not surprised by this result.

"Hissing sound—"

Lingyouma nodded in agreement.

It also sensed the gradually increasing vitality of life.

At this time.

Whizzing--

Two strong gusts of wind suddenly blew in.

All I saw was...

Deep in the jungle, two figures, one large and one small, like apes, swung through the vines at great speed through the dense canopy.

Xia Yan was slightly taken aback when he saw the two figures.

pat- pat-

They landed quickly and stood in front of Xia Yan and the others.

Their appearance was now fully revealed to Xia Yan and the group of elves.

The one in front was entirely black, resembling an ape, with gray fur forming unique patterns on its chest and back, and green vines entwined around its arms.

Sarud!

A mythical spirit that inhabits the depths of the forests of the Galar region.

Meanwhile, it was also wearing a short pink cape on its back that was clearly out of place with its temperament, with the number "251" printed on it.

And following behind it was actually a young human!

But the human walked with a stooped posture, just like the elf, with brown vines tied around his wrists.

“Sarud and…Coco?”

Xia Yan recognized them.

The Zarude wearing a cape, and the young human, are the main characters from the Pokémon movie "Pikachu and Coco's Adventure," namely Zarude "Father" and "Wolf Child" Coco.

Coco is the human child who was adopted by Zarude from a young age and considers herself an elf.

Their appearance was somewhat unexpected.

However, considering that the destruction here was caused by the Sarud tribe who live deep in the jungle, it is somewhat understandable.

"Saru!"

just.

The expressions and actions of Nazarud and Coco were somewhat beyond Xia Yan's expectations.

Then I saw it.

The Zarude roared fiercely at Xia Yan, its deep red eyes filled with hostility.

Because of the mess everywhere?

No.

Based on this Sarud father's understanding of the Sarud people, it should be able to tell at a glance that the mess in this place was not caused by them, but by the Sarud themselves.

So it's definitely not because this place was damaged, but because of something else.

"Saruru Saruru!!"

Coco, like Zarud, kept roaring at Xia Yan.

There was not a trace of surprise or shock at seeing a human being like himself for the first time.

seem......

This wasn't the first time Coco had seen humans.

and.

He and his father, this Sarud, both harbored extreme hatred for humans.

Because their hostile gazes were directed at him, not at the elves.

Why are they so hostile towards humans?

seem.

Things didn't unfold as Xia Yan had imagined. Just the current state of Zarude and Coco was already different from what they were in the original story.

Then Xia Yan saw that the Sarud gave Coco a push, seemingly signaling him to leave quickly.

Coco did not wait for a response.

"Saru!"

Then, the figure wearing a pink cloak suddenly charged towards Xia Yan's direction.

It is very fast and agile, fully demonstrating the speed it has developed from living in the jungle for many years and moving quickly through the forest.

They didn't give Xia Yan a chance to speak, nor did they give Xia Yan's elves time to explain.

"quack!"

The Onion Soldier, who was also holding his breath because he had seen the destroyed forest and wasted food several times, rushed to meet them without hesitation when he saw them attack without saying a word.

*Smack! Smack!*

Two thick, emerald-green vines, faintly glowing with a fluorescent light, were drawn from the vines at Sarud's wrists, tearing through the air and striking the Onion Soldier who was trying to stop it with a fierce gust of wind.

Seeing this, the Onion Soldiers were not to be outdone.

It quickly erected a shield of green leaves, blocking one of the vine whips, while simultaneously swinging out the green spear it held in its other hand without hesitation.

As the two forces collided, producing a dull thud, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Onion Soldier and Zarud.

Farfetch'd was a little surprised. This suddenly appearing, never-before-seen Pokémon was surprisingly powerful.

Zarud, however, was even more surprised by the strength displayed by the Onion Knight.

But upon closer reflection...

They were similar to the humans I had encountered before.

Upon realizing this, Sarud's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his imposing aura erupted once more.

"Saru!"

Suddenly.

As Zarud continued to close in on the Onion Soldier, he once again swung his fist and flung out vines.

But this time, the vines it lashed out were several times thicker than before.

Violent whipping!

At this moment, Cong Youbing's expression also became extremely serious, and pure dark red energy swirled around his green spear.

As he brandished his spear, a sudden, explosive sound rang out.

boom!!!

The violent collision between the two forces instantly produced a tremendous roar, accompanied by a rolling wave of air that swept outwards, causing large swathes of branches and leaves to groan in pain under the force of the wind.

"Saru!"
