I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

"Next time, it won't be this kick."

When these investigators saw Xu Li taking action, they surrounded him. One of the investigators swung his fist to attack Xu Li, but Xu Li dodged and then kicked him in the hip. He fell to the ground and was afraid that he would not be able to stand up for months.

"you you."

"What are you talking about? The investigation team just needs to do their job well."

Dr. Laben asked Xu Li to set an example as an investigator to the investigation team when he met them, if possible.

A role model? Yes, it can be, but that's for investigators like Mingyao whose consciences are not tainted, but not for this group.

Xu Li provided a lot of investigation progress for Dr. Laben's Pokémon Encyclopedia. The investigation progress reported in this month is equivalent to the progress of the investigation team for four or five years. Xu Li has a lot of confidence in teaching these members of the investigation team a lesson.

Xu Li had no intention of joining the investigation team, so naturally he didn't care about their attitude. Anyway, Dr. Laben had a high status in the Galaxy Team, and the other people in the Galaxy Team might even applaud when they saw this investigation team that didn't work hard being humiliated.

Although Xu Li doesn't like Magamu, Magamu is not a fool. I really don't know why Magamu doesn't reorganize this investigation team.

Xu Li got down and held the investigator lying on the ground. He twisted his shoulders, almost turning his arm around, and asked:

"Tell me, who asked you to provoke me, otherwise there will be more pain than this."

"Ah...ah...I...we don't know...surely. He's...a businessman."

Merchant? Wang Luo? Xu Li let go of the investigator.

"Okay, get out of here."

Seeing Xu Li being so cruel, the remaining investigators glared at him with angry eyes, not daring to move. They moved the two injured investigators to the edge of the carriage and left Xu Li's sight in shame.

The investigation team and Xu Li both restrained themselves from using Pokémon to prevent the situation from escalating. In a place like this, using Pokémon to directly attack "one's own people" would result in severe punishment.

The convoy is still moving.

But even though there was such a loud commotion inside, the guard driving outside seemed not to see anything and did not react.

----

After two or three hours' drive, the vehicle arrived at the wilderness base in the Black Diamond Wilderness.

The layout of the Wilderness Base is the same as that of the Beach Base on the Ultramarine Coast. Both have tents erected on the base, a workshop for making props, a medical tent for restoring Pokémon's strength, and a prop sales point.

Xu Li got out of the car first, and then the people in the investigation team got out one after another. The two investigators who were kicked by Xu Li did not get out of the car. It seemed that they wanted to follow the car back directly.

Xu Li asked the guard driving the car

"Hello, what is the mode of transportation to and from this base? How do I return?"

The guards looked at the injuries of the investigation team and looked at Xu Li with admiration. Other departments also had strong opinions about the behavior of the investigation team.

"It depends on the number of investigators at the base. If there are many investigators at the base, a vehicle will make a round trip every three days. The route will be from Zhuqing Village to the base in the morning and from the base to Zhuqing Village in the evening. If there are few investigators, there will be one round trip every week."

"So does this base have too many or too few investigators?"

"Considering the number of tents in use, it's a lot, sir."

"Okay, thank you."

Xu Li walked to an ownerless tent. There was a nameplate on the tent door. As long as he turned it over, it meant that the tent had an owner.

After turning the tent over, Xu Li did not move in, but walked directly to the exit of the wilderness base.

In front of us is Dazhipo, and on the left is the Horseshoe Grassland.

I took a deep breath, and the scent of grass permeated my nostrils.

It is spring now. There is soft grass under my feet, and new green shoots are all over the grass. Looking ahead, there are only high mountains in the distance and the vast fields in between.

Xu Li released the Pokémon and walked with them on the grass.

"Go left, and head to Horseshoe Prairie."

"Ya Ya~"

Chapter 12: Kitten and Eevee

Climb a small hill to the left and you will enter the Horseshoe Prairie.

Continuing to move forward on the Horseshoe Prairie, I could feel the wind blowing unrestrainedly across the grassland, and the trees next to me were shaking slightly under its influence.

Paras rested on Xu Li's head, while Yaya was in Xu Li's arms, with the water otter and the Katie walking on both sides, strolling together on the horseshoe grassland.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, three little cat monsters appeared in front of him, running over and growling at Xu Li.

On its blue-black body, there are a pair of large ears with a four-pointed star pattern. Its tail, also with a four-pointed star pattern, is shaking high, and its fur is glowing slightly, issuing a warning, trying to drive away the outsiders who have entered its territory.

One of the little cat monsters couldn't help it. It straightened its blue heels slightly, roared fiercely and threatened others. Its body shook, and it was emitting electric light, which stimulated a ball of electricity to attack Xu Li.

Xu Li immediately rolled to the side to avoid the electric ball, and Water Otter and Growlithe immediately rushed forward.

"Double-edged hammer, shell blade"

The head of the Growlithe was covered with the luster of rock, the water otter shell was unsheathed, and the water flow attached to the shell formed the shape of a long sword, each looking for a little cat monster.

In less than four or five seconds, the winner was decided and the two little cat monsters were knocked away.

The remaining female kitten monster that launched the attack first was also hit by a sticky ball from Xu Li and became dizzy and unable to stand.

But when he saw his two companions suddenly lose their ability to fight, his eyes turned to Xu Li with fear.

Xu Li suddenly laughed.

"Kitty Monster, you don't want you and your companions to be left here unconscious, do you?"

"Come to think of it, you were the one who attacked first. Look, it's you who caused your friend to be like this."

As he said this, he took out the Poké Ball under the dim and self-blaming eyes of the cat monster.

"If you want to make amends, enter this Poké Ball and I will heal your companion."

The little cat monster looked at the demon in front of him, like a girl being sold to a brothel. Even if she was unwilling, she had no choice but to enter this abyss.

"Bing...Bingu..."

The little cat monster turned into white light and was sucked into the Poké Ball. It shook once, twice, and the third time, the most violent one, before finally giving in and returning to calm.

Xu Li raised the Poké Ball in his hand

"Hehehe, I conquered the kitten monster~"

【Kitten Monster♀

Attribute: Electric

Favorability: 5]

Yaya looked at his master who sometimes went crazy, sighed, jumped up, pressed the Poké Ball of the little cat monster, released the little cat monster, and patted the little cat monster.

"YaYa~Ya (Don't worry, Xu Li is fine)"

"Bingu? (Really?)"

"tooth!"

The little cat monster still looked at Xu Li with a bit of fear, hesitated for a moment, and called out:

"Bing...Gu~ (Healing...Companion)"

"Okay, okay, get treatment immediately."

Xu Li took out some medicine and healed the two unconscious little cat monster companions. After they regained consciousness, he let the little cat monster say goodbye to their companions.

Under the strange and angry looks of the two kittens, Xu Li set out again.

The locations of the wilderness bases are all chosen in places where the threat from wild Pokémon is relatively low. In addition, there are more investigators active near the bases, so the level of wild Pokémon nearby is relatively low.

Continuing to go deeper into the horseshoe grassland, there were mukes pecking at the grass in the distance, as if looking for food, but they flew away vigilantly when Xu Li approached them.

As they walked, a body of water appeared in front of them, surrounded by a lot of grass. Xu Li took out Dr. Laben's commission and compared them.

"This is the water where the Shiny Ponytail appeared in the report. I think a lot of Pokémon will come here to drink water. It's lunchtime now, so why don't we take a break here?"

"Pie~Pie"

Paras couldn't agree more.

Xu Li took out various ingredients and a barbecue grill from his backpack, and Paras was also skillfully helping Xu Li to arrange them. He simply started a fire and sprinkled the ingredients. The aroma gradually drifted out, attracting the attention of various Pokémon.

This was also done intentionally by Xu Li. What kind of Pokémon will be attracted? There is a kind of pleasure in opening a blind box.

Sure enough, a Pokémon soon took the bait.

“…Buyi~”

A Pokémon popped out from the nearby bushes.

It was an Eevee that was even thinner than a normal Eevee. Its body was like a slender willow branch, with faintly protruding ribs. The edges of its hair were slightly curled and dry, and its heart-shaped tail was a little shriveled.

All these characteristics show that this Eevee is thin and malnourished.

Xu Li was also stunned when he saw this Eevee. He saw Eevee staring at the barbecue in Xu Li's hand with pleading eyes, and then he threw the barbecue in front of the little Eevee.

Little Eevee was not afraid of the heat when he saw the barbecue in front of him, and he chewed the barbecue in big mouthfuls.

Well, hunger has made the usually very shy Eevee bold enough to come out and beg for food from humans, so naturally, it doesn't care about the heat.

"Come in, little Eevee, there's more food here."

After finishing the barbecue in front of him, Ibrahimovic was still licking the oil from the corners of his mouth. When he heard Xu Li's words, his ears twitched and he looked to the side of Xu Li.

There, Grunt also looked at Eevee, showing his kindness as much as possible, while the little cat monster Paras was eating a lot of food with relish.

Feeling the goodwill of Xu Li's side and seeing that there was indeed a lot of food, Eevee hesitated for a moment.

"Bu...Bu Yi~"

As if sensing that Xu Li was not in danger, he took cautious steps and trotted towards Xu Li.

"Come, eat, if it's not enough, there's more."

Xu Li took out the barbecue, berries and energy blocks with a smile to entertain the little Eevee. It was cute to see the little Eevee dizzy from the delicious food in front of him.

Yaya held the barbecue and ate while watching Eevee wolfing down the food, sighing that he might have a new companion.

Xu Li handed a bowl of water to the little Eevee, and stroked the Eevee's dry hair.

“Eat slowly, no rush”

After Eevee was full, he realized that he had eaten so much food. He blushed and rubbed his head against Xu Li, becoming much closer to Xu Li.

"Buy~"

Ibrahimovic is quite polite and looks very young.

“Where are your family and friends? How did it become like this?”

Xu Li was a little curious, because Eevee usually live in groups.

"Bu Yi——"

Ibrahimovic was in a bad mood when he heard Xu Li's words, but he still used body language to explain it vividly.

First, he opened his arms to imitate a monster wading in the water to attack, then he acted out Eevee's appearance as if he was lost after escaping from his tribe, and finally he wandered for a long time and arrived here hungry.

"Are you saying you got separated from your family after being attacked by a monster?"

Eevee nodded.

"Then stay with us, at least you won't be hungry anymore"

"Buee~!?"

Ibrahimovic was a bit surprised, as if to say, "Is that okay? I'll eat a lot of food."

"Of course, it's settled."

Xu Li took out the Poké Ball and handed it to Eevee.

Eevee looked at the Pokéball curiously, then touched its nose and transformed into white light before entering the Pokéball without any resistance.
