Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

But Liliae didn't seem to react at all, so Lowe could only look back at the Pokémon behind him.

"... New Leaf, make some refreshing scent. Lalulas, use your telekinesis to help~"

The two little guys immediately received Lowe's order. New Leaf Cat rubbed its little paws, and its fur exuded a clear fragrance, which smelled like cooling oil or menthol, and was very refreshing.

On the other side, Lalulas used telekinesis to open Liliae's tightly closed mouth. Lowe was afraid that the girl would choke, so he carefully put the cut fruit pulp into small pieces into the girl's mouth, and then let Lalulas control the girl to move and chew the fruit pulp and swallow it.

This is a delicate job. Fortunately, although Lalulas cannot manipulate large objects, this kind of small-scale delicate work is his strong point.

With the cooperation of Lowe, Liliae, who ate the sweet peach fruit, gradually relaxed her frown. With the refreshing smell of vanilla, she finally woke up after a light sneeze.

"Well, I am..."

Chapter 30: Let me say this first: I am very strong!

"Well……"

First, he applied peach pulp on the wound, and then fed the remaining peach to Liliae. Under normal circumstances, even if a Pokémon was poisoned by a deadly toxin, eating a peach could immediately remove the poison.

Perhaps the effect of the toxin was stronger for humans, but the effect of the fruit was still there, so Liliae woke up after just a few minutes.

As soon as she woke up, she felt a burning pain in her calves, and her still somewhat confused mind immediately came back to normal.

At the same time, she felt a cool breath coming from her tingling calves, and the tingling and burning sensation was slowly fading away.

"Are you okay? You look like you've been poisoned. I don't have any antidotes, so I can only use tree berries for now. Once you're able to move, you still have to go to the Pokémon Center for a checkup."

Lowe said this to Liliae, who was stunned and answered subconsciously, "Ah? Well, thank you, thank you..."

Luo Wei took two steps back and replied with a smile, "It's okay. When we go out, we help each other. More friends mean more paths. My name is Luo Wei~"

Liliae was stunned for a moment before she continued to answer, "Well, my name is Liliae...ah!"

After she finished speaking, she finally regained her consciousness and immediately thought of something, "Wait a minute, this place is very dangerous!"

"..."

Before Lowe could open his mouth to ask, the horns on Lalulas's head stood up. For a moment, the little guy seemed to sense something dangerous, and hid behind Lowe, trembling.

"What's wrong? What do you feel..."

Lowe wanted to continue asking questions, but soon he swallowed the question back, because in his sight, a dim light that flickered floated over, and it was a creature that looked like a jellyfish.

The ultimate beast... Xuwuide!

Why is this thing here?

Although Lowe really wanted to complain like that, considering that he had just seen this thing on Route 103 not long ago, this place was not too far from Route 103, so its appearance did not seem strange.

Besides, with the Ultimate Hole as a means of transmission, theoretically it wouldn’t be strange for these things to appear anywhere in the world.

What's more, Lilia is right here, so it seems only natural that Xuwuid is here. It's better to say...

(…Could it be that the reason why Hollowed appeared in the Hoenn region is because Liliae is here? These Ultra Beasts were attracted by Liliae.)

No, to be precise, the Ultra Beasts were not attracted by Liliae. Lowe looked at the shoulder bag that Liliae carried with her. These Ultra Beasts were obviously attracted by "that thing".

This young lady was supposed to be active in the Alola region, but she actually came all the way to the Hoenn region. She is really energetic.

When she saw Xuwuide, a look of panic appeared on Liliae's face. She subconsciously tightened the strap of her shoulder bag in her hand and wanted to get up. However, because the injury on her leg had not yet healed, her legs and feet were so weak that she couldn't stand up.

Helplessly, she could only say to Lowe, "Thank you for saving me, but you better run away quickly, this child is in great danger..."

"Well, I see. Also, let me introduce myself..." Lowe took out the Pokémon encyclopedia from his waist and pointed it at the Xuwuid in front of him. "...My name is Lowe. I am currently accepting the commission of Dr. Odamaki to conduct an ecological survey on this unknown creature. In addition, I have met this guy once before."

"Eh?"

Liliae was stunned, but when she saw the Pokémon encyclopedia in Lowe's hand, she immediately confirmed that Lowe was not lying.

This third-generation Pokémon encyclopedia has not yet been widely popularized in the Hoenn region, and most trainers still have the first-generation Pokémon encyclopedia developed by Professor Oak.

It is said that the third-generation Pokémon Pokédex has only been distributed very limitedly by Professor Odamaki to a few promising trainers. The fact that the boy named Lowe in front of him can possess the Pokédex means that he is one of them.

Looking at Lowe's companions, Ralts is a very rare Pokémon, but at least it has a population living in the Hoenn region. However, his other companion, Catelynx, does not exist in the Hoenn region at all.

In other words, it can only be obtained through special means, and since Lowe has an illustrated guide, he must be a registered trainer. So this New Leaf Cat could never have been obtained through poaching or smuggling, but through formal channels.

If you want to get this rare three-family that is not available in this area through regular channels, there is only one possibility...

...a talented trainer with outstanding talents and high hopes from the league!

"So, don't be afraid, I'm... very strong~"

The last time he faced Xuwuid, it was one against two, so there was naturally no reason to fight head-on. But this time, Lowe had a new partner in Larus, and there was only one person on the opposite side. In a two-against-one situation, Lowe naturally had the idea of ​​testing the opponent's strength.

Xuwuid sensed the breath of a living creature, and all its tentacles immediately began to dance at the same time. Lowe was not polite either. Since it was a battle between wild Pokémon, there was no need to talk about the code of conduct...

"New Leaf, meow, lightning, Lalu Lasi, use shadow clones to cover!"

As soon as he finished speaking, New Leaf Cat rushed forward, and Lalulas cooperated by opening his arms, and a crimson-purple light flashed on the horns of his head. Suddenly, New Leaf Cat's figure split into seven or eight, attacking Xuwuide from all directions.

Xuwu Yide probably didn't expect that Luo Wei not only didn't run away, but even dared to fight back...

I didn't expect that right from the start, Lowe could actually make the two Pokémon play very well together...

Lalulas's shadow clone is a visual illusion formed by using telekinesis to interfere with vision and hearing, so it can naturally be imposed on other objects. Anyway, it is not a physical clone, but just a bunch of phantoms formed out of thin air.

The phantom simulated the movements of New Leaf Cat, it was more like creating several mirrors to reflect New Leaf Cat's movements to form an illusion. The combination of the two made the already very fast movements of New Leaf Cat even more difficult to distinguish between real and fake.

Xuwuyide has many tentacles, but after all, there are still not as many as the phantoms at the moment. The figures attacking from all directions made Xuwuyide difficult to tell the real from the fake for a while. The waving tentacles pierced through several figures, but they were all fakes.

At the same time, the horn light above Lalulas's head flashed, and Lowe immediately understood, "Be careful, this time it's coming from a 30-degree north angle!"

The New Leaf Cat's body was just being targeted by that tentacle. After receiving Lowe's instructions, it immediately dodged and passed by.

Lalulas's telepathy read the opponent's movements and passed them to New Leaf Cat through Lowe's mouth. Although Lalulas lacked the ability to attack head-on at the moment, his assistance was definitely first-rate...

This is another feature of Pokémon Duel. Having one more teammate can bring about a qualitative change in the situation where 1+1 is greater than 2!

The New Leaf Cat dodged the attack, and its sharp claws rubbed against the ground quickly. It leaped up and slashed its claws towards the translucent umbrella cover...

Chapter 31: Didn't expect it? I brought the detoxification fruit!

In Pokémon battles, every additional Pokémon will bring about earth-shaking changes in the status quo. In short, the power of Pokémon working together can produce a chemical reaction where 1+1 is greater than 2.

For example, now, Lalulas didn't even attack directly, but just helped with his own abilities, reading the movement trajectory of Xuwuid with telepathy, and then passing it to Lowe, who then judged the situation and gave orders to New Leaf Cat.

With this blessing, Xinye Cat was able to nimbly perform graceful dance steps, like a dancer on the stage, dodging all attacks with elegant dance steps.

Over there, Xinye Cat closed the distance between the two sides with a flash of lightning. Its sharp claws rubbed against the ground, and it jumped up with a bright cold light, and its sharp claws directly hit the shiny big umbrella cover of Xuwuyide.

Before, Xiaoyao's Fire Chicken faced Xuwuyide and its two consecutive attacks did not produce any results. However, this slap from Lowe's New Leaf Cat actually made Xuwuyide shake violently.

This attack seemed to have successfully hit the vital point, and the New Leaf Cat increased its attack power by sharpening its claws. Although it was not enough to deal overwhelming damage, the power of this attack was much higher than that of Xiaoyao's Fire Chicken before...

Firstly, the Fire Chicken has no means to increase its attack power. Secondly, its fire attacks are resisted by the opponent's rock attributes, so it can only deal half of the damage. Naturally, it can hardly produce any effective output.

But it’s different here at Lowe…

"Go on, lightning flashes!"

The attack was effective, and Lowe immediately ordered the New Leaf Cat to continue to use Lightning Flash, which not only increased the distance but also further increased the attack power by sharpening its claws.

Anyway, the worst that can happen is we can just fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy. After the sixth level of physical attack is increased, as long as we can hit the enemy firmly, no matter how tough the enemy is, it will be in pain!

It is naturally impossible for Xuwuid to take a beating without fighting back, but the tentacle attack cannot touch the agile New Leaf Cat. Although it has the advantage in speed, New Leaf Cat has Lalu Las to help predict Xuwuid's movements, and the shadow clone to interfere with the opponent's judgment.

Since the tentacle attack can't catch New Leaf Cat, we can only change the battle strategy, for example...

Xuwuide's tentacles slammed heavily onto the ground, and the tentacles that landed immediately caused gravel to fly everywhere. Lowe was stunned for a moment when he saw this, but Liliae on the side had already reacted.

"This, this is it... It used this trick before..."

"Understood!"

As soon as Liliae opened her mouth, Lowe came back to his senses. As expected, the flying gravel melted instantly and turned into dark purple liquid blocks that splashed out. At the place where the tentacle flew and hit, the land under his feet collapsed and turned into a small piece of foul-smelling mud.

"…Acid bombs and venom traps?"

After all, Hollowid is a rock-type and poison-type Pokémon, so it is naturally good at using poison-type skills. Lowe originally thought that Lillie was poisoned by the bug-type Pokémon in the forest, but now it seems that she was poisoned by Hollowid's attack.

But if Lillie was attacked by Xuwuid, how did she escape?

Although she fainted due to exhaustion later, at least before that, she must have escaped from Xuwuide with her own abilities.

Well, you can probably guess why.

In short, the situation now became tricky. Xuwuide's body sank to the ground, and his moving tentacles threw the foul-smelling venom under his feet in all directions.

It is a poison-type creature and is of course immune to venom damage, but if New Leaf Cat wants to launch an attack, it must get close to the opponent.

There is a venom pool under Xuwuide's feet at this moment. He has also smeared venom on himself and continuously flings venom through his tentacles to expand the range of the venom. It is obvious that he wants to create an area around himself that is difficult for people to approach in this way.

The grass attribute of New Leaf Cat is restrained by the poison attribute, but fortunately, it has the characteristic of free change, and can avoid restraint by changing its attributes.

But even if you can avoid restraint, you can't avoid the damage of venom. Once you get close, you will continue to suffer from the poison. This makes the new Leaf Cat, whose moves are almost all close-range skills, appear extremely passive.

The only move that can be used for long-range attacks is leaves. Once used, he will become a restrained grass-type, which increases the risk of battle and forces Lowe to carefully choose whether to use it.

If the attack misses and its attribute change is restrained, before it has time to change back and be hit by the next venom, New Leaf Cat will definitely be killed on the spot.

"..."

Liliae saw that Lowe's expression had darkened and for a moment she didn't know what to say, so she spoke carefully.

"Well, if it really doesn't work, you should just run away..."

"..." However, after hearing this, Lowe calmly shook his head and said, "No, I was just worrying about how to win~"
