Will Ditto dream of the Monster Hunter Rathalos?

“I have to get used to this body first.

As a small to medium-sized predator, the sickle-tailed dragon would prey on birds or small mammals to maintain the life of the tribe, such as maru birds, wild boars, and yeast rabbits.

But this does not mean that all energy comes from the latter.

Creatures like the Man-Eronosaurus and the Fire Dragon also rely on small herbivores for survival, and since primary consumers can't possibly satisfy all the higher-level consumers, I suspect that creatures like the Scythe-Weasel are omnivorous, so I'm just experimenting with it."

"Um...what you said seems to make sense. So, do you think...it tastes good?"

“No, it’s not delicious, but my body instinctively tells me that I can eat it.

That's enough, let's go and continue the experiment."

"Well, you're really trying hard to join that sickle-weasel dragon family..."

"No, Red, you are wrong.

I didn't do it to fit in.

Rather, I want to become a [Kamaweasel Dragon King] and experience a little of its dragon life."

"And lay an egg?"

"You're wrong again."

"What's wrong? Didn't you say before that you wanted to be with that female dragon..."

"I didn't just lay an egg [in passing], I did it [mainly] to lay an egg."

"..."

Afterwards, Han Xin walked around again and encountered many insects of various shapes and colors.

However, he did not hunt them one by one, but came under a plant that looked like a shrub.

Beneath the plant's slender leaves lay a few deep red fruits.

Han XinmeiqiIIshan&０（四％）九7Shansi didn't hesitate, cut off the small branch on a fruit with his slender canine teeth, and put the fruit into his stomach again with his head tilted back.

Chihong was too tired to complain, so he said nothing.

But Han Xin murmured to himself, "It's a bit sour, is it the strange power fruit?

After eating it, I feel much more energetic and the muscle cells in my body are active...

So this thing can increase the hunters' attack power?

This world is really magical.

There seems to be no side effects after taking it.

It seems that non-toxic insects and fruits are on the diet of the sickle-weasel dragon.

but……"

Han Xin narrowed his eyes and looked forward to where Marutori was in his memory.

That’s right, he is now a sickle-weasel dragon king, how could he possibly just rely on wild fruits and insects to fill his stomach?

Marutori is the most important source of energy for this race.

Following the guidance of those memory fragments, Han Xin came to a stream.

In the distance, there is a huge waterfall, which continuously washes down fresh water from the higher mountains.

The closer to the water source, the denser the ferns and shrubs grow.

Han Xin lowered his body and hid himself in the dense bushes, but still exposed his head to observe the front.

He didn't walk fast, and the rustling sound was covered by the chirping of insects, which allowed him to enter a perfect stealth state.

After walking quietly for a distance, he finally saw three or five maru birds huddled together; they huddled together for warmth and slept in a huge bird's nest.

Marutori is a small bird-like dragon monster that lives in abandoned shrines and other places.

Although it has wings, they have degenerated to a very small size and cannot be used for flying.

The body is almost spherical, and the head is like a real-life duck, with a hammer-shaped crest.

Its feathers are very soft, with brown feathers on the back and yellow-white feathers on the abdomen. It can be regarded as a good protective color when moving on the water.

"lucky~"

Han Xin narrowed his eyes and stared at the round birds, then laughed. The corners of his mouth stretched to his neck, making him look sinister and ferocious.

Although he had no intention of grinning, the smile of the Kamaitachi Dragon King looked like that.

Rise: Chapter 9: Kill or not?

The forest at night is full of dangers.

Many predators have evolved to be nocturnal in order to ambush their sleeping prey.

The Kamaitachi Dragon King is one of them.

At this moment, the veil of night is the best disguise for his stealth.

While the Marucous were huddling together for warmth and sleeping soundly, Han Xin, transformed into the Kamaitachi Dragon King, rushed out!

He possessed the otherworldly ability of [Lightning Flash] and transformed into a beam of lightning-fast white light, biting down hard on the neck of one of the sleeping Marutori!

"Gah!!!"

Marutori, awakened by the pain, let out a quick, mournful cry and then died immediately!

However, Han Xin's unusual movement and the loud voice of the prey woke up the remaining maru birds.

Under the moonlight, the remaining Marutori looked at the tall and majestic, ferocious-looking Kamaitachi Dragon King in front of them, and were all frightened out of their wits. They flapped their wings that could not fly and ran away into the distance.

"Quack quack!"

The shouting disturbed the whole forest, but the sound of flowing water and chirping insects quickly drowned out the chaotic and noisy sounds.

Han Xin opened his mouth and let the bird with its neck bitten off fall freely.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and locked his new target on the slowest-running Maru Bird.

Then, he used Lightning Flash again, but did not attack directly. Instead, he came to the side of the prey at a speed that was unattainable by the naked eye of ordinary monsters, blocking its way!

　Shan Si slipped up V2 Er⑷ba⑷S "Huh?!"

The panicked Marutori saw that the road ahead was blocked, and immediately turned around and tried to escape with his back to the enemy.

But it is obviously unwise to turn your back to the hunter.

Immediately afterwards, Han Xin once again mobilized the energy in his body and used a skill called [Metal Claw] in the Pokémon world.

The originally sharp and dark blue claws turned silver-white under the blessing of the energy from another world, shining brightly under the moonlight.

Then, he struck down with one claw, killing Marunori who was facing away from him!

The blood spilled into the stream and flowed away with the water.

The marutori fell into a pool of blood without even having time to scream.

"Host, hurry! There are three more over there! Kill them all!"

System Chihong, influenced by the hunting atmosphere, was also cheering in Han Xin's mind at this moment, and it wished it could escape from its sea of ​​consciousness and join Han Xin in the hunt.

However, the next second, Han Xin's answer was beyond her expectations.

"No, that's enough."

"Ugh?"

"In fact, one Maru Bird is enough for the original owner's family to go three to five days without having to forage for food. I even killed an extra one just to see the effect and power of the [Metal Claw].

For sustainable development, there is no need to wipe out everything.”

"Ah? Ah... that does make some sense, but weren't you yelling before that we could just start killing and be done with it?

I thought your role was a butcher."

“I am indeed a little mentally unstable, but that doesn’t mean I am completely irrational.

Believe me, when I face monsters that need to be killed, I will kill them all..."

General Han Xin glanced at the bloody Maruniao on the ground, but did not bite it. Instead, he ordered Chi Hong:

"Red, let me turn back into Ditto. Master."

"Ok, no problem……"

Chihong agreed without hesitation, but when she uttered the last word, she found something was wrong.

Sizzle...sizzle...

A very unnatural electric sound rang out from the void in Han Xin's sea of ​​consciousness.

This made him ask, "What happened?"

"Ah... Host, something's wrong. You... can't seem to change back..."

Han Xin was shocked and blurted out:

"Nani?"

"Ah, ah, ah, I know you're anxious, but don't worry, let me worry first... I'll check it out..."

Chihong immediately began to explain in a panic and seemed to fall into an anxious state of self-examination.

Then, with a ding sound, Chi Hong let out a long sigh and said:

"Ahh! I found the problem!

Since the creatures in this world do not genetically match those in the Pokémon world, forcibly using Pokémon energy moves in the bodies of creatures from another world will cause a brief confusion in the system program!

The host cannot transform back into Ditto for the next few minutes."

"As expected... there are some restrictions. Does this mean that when I face monsters in the future, I will need to use a single form to fight..."

Han Xin thought about how he had just fought against the Sickle-Weasel Dragon King in the body of a cat, and he had been arguing with the system for a few minutes before he remembered that he could change his form.

That's why it seems like there are no limits.

Just as Han Xin lowered his head to think, Chi Hong's ethereal voice reminded him, "Host! Look over there!"
