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

But it couldn't flap its wings because they were tangled. Plus, one of the wings must have been injured in the fall, so it couldn't move at all.

"Wow! Wow!"

According to Growlithe's explanation, this Muk was found by Growlithe and his companions when they were cleaning the battlefield. It was the only one of them. The rest of the Muk or Muk birds that fell on the ground were taken away by the Muk bird tribe, leaving it alone on the ground.

"Ah~"

If no one takes care of this mukl and the speaker cricket colony does not retaliate, the best thing it may do is to fend for itself without being able to fly.

Although the attack was launched by a group of Mooks, there is nothing wrong with Pokémon fighting in the wild.

If Xu Li had not helped the speaker cricket tribe, the Mke birds might have won, and this Mke would not have suffered this fate, and perhaps he would have grown up to become a Mke bird leader in the future.

Xu Li squatted on the ground, observing the situation of this Muk'er. Its round body was smaller than that of an ordinary Muk'er and was trembling. Xu Li thought that this Muk'er must be very young, so he stretched out his palm and wanted to pull the silk thread apart.

Mukler looked at the big hand reaching over his head and was extremely scared. He closed his eyes and prepared to accept the coming of death.

But what he felt was indeed the sticky silk thread that was entangled with his wings being removed, and with a "pop" sound, he felt a warm feeling on the injured wound, and the pain disappeared temporarily.

It felt a gentle caress on its head and heard a simple sentence that it would never forget.

"Okay, poor little guy, the injury has been temporarily healed."

Opening his eyes and looking at the huge figure in front of him, Mukler no longer felt afraid.

"Mmm~ko~"

I wanted to flap my wings and fly, this time not to escape, but to get closer.

"Ah, ah, ah, don't even think about flying yet. Your injuries haven't recovered yet. Eat something first."

I was held in his arms and had my mouth stuffed with delicious food, which I didn't know what it was. This feeling of warmth and care was something I had never felt in the Muk bird tribe.

"Muko~~"

Mukeer rubbed Xu Li's arms dependently and slowly fell asleep.

【Mukel♀

Attributes: General, flying

Level: Lv13

Features: Keen eyes

Moves: Crash, Scream, Lightning Flash, Wing Attack, Shadow Clone, Feather Dance

Favorability: 74 (It starts to rely on you)]

Xu Li looked at Mu Keer who was gradually falling asleep in his arms and sighed: "This is relying on me, I feel that the responsibility is getting heavier and heavier."

"Wow~"

Caterpillar watched from the side and was very happy to see Mukle being taken care of by Xu Li.

"Spread~"

The little flame monkey on the side also agreed very much.

-

"Dedededede—de~?"

The speaker cricket leader arranged his tribe and came to say goodbye to Xu Li. He noticed Muke in Xu Li's arms and called out in confusion.

Xu Li explained Muk'er's experience and said, "Muk'er will follow me, and it will no longer need to hunt everywhere."

The speaker cricket leader nodded and said nothing.

"What about you guys? I see you've taken out all your supplies. Are you planning to relocate?"

"De de de ~ (Yes, it's not safe here, we need to go somewhere safe)"

"Is that so? Do you have a destination?"

The speaker cricket leader shook his head, without a specific destination, but pointed in the direction of the other side, indicating that he wanted to go in that direction and see what happens.

"This~"

That was the Zhensha Plain, where Zhensha Town would be located two thousand years later. Xu Li had come to Xicui beside Zhensha Beach. He raised his wrist and looked at the bracelet Zhulan had picked up on Zhensha Beach, which was still on Xu Li. He shook his head and said,

"That place is not very good. I know that there are also Muk birds living there, and there are also many Lek cats and Yongjila tribes scattered around."

"Okay~"

The speaker cricket leader opened his mouth, looking a little confused.

"I know a place, I wonder if you can accept it."

There was hope in the eyes of the speaker cricket leader.

"There will be no shortage of food in that place, and there will be no danger. No other Pokémon will attack you, and fighting is not allowed."

"But we need your cooperation in the research, and the scope of activities will be smaller than it is now, which will restrict your freedom."

"Can you accept this situation?"

Xu Li was talking about Professor Laben's Pokémon research and breeding area.

After hearing this, the speaker cricket leader was ready to accept this place, but it still had one last concern.

"De de de de~ (Are there any audience members? You can listen to our performance)"

"Well, yes, there will be Pokémon from all over the place living there. They should be able to watch your performance. We will come to watch it too."

"have to!"

The speaker cricket leader nodded excitedly. This sounded like the place they had always dreamed of. As the weaker insect-type in Pokémon, they were tired of running around avoiding predators and were eager to settle down in one place.

What's more, there are audiences from all over the world who can watch their performances, and they have decided to go to this place.

"De de de de~~"

The speaker cricket leader hurriedly asked Xu Li how to get to that place.

Xu Li took out a box of Xi Cui Poké Balls. After storing so many of them, they finally came in handy.

"If you are sure you want to go, then enter this Poké Ball and stay inside for a few days. I can take you there."

The speaker cricket leader couldn't wait to touch the Poké Ball that Xu Li took out. Without any resistance, the Xi Cui Poké Ball lit up fireworks and captured it.

They were so naive that they had no idea what to do if Xu Li was lying to them, but Xu Li would not lie to them either.

【Speaker Cricket (Boss) ♂

Attribute: Insect

Level: Lv34

Ability: Insect Premonition

Moves: Combo Slash, Absorb, Sing, Insect Resistance, Scream, Cross Scissors, Screech, Split, Insect Chirp, Insect Bite

Favorability: 64]

After Xu Li released the speaker cricket leader, it immediately called its fellow tribesmen into the Poké Ball.

First, the ordinary speaker crickets entered the Poké Ball, followed by a group of round wizards lining up for Xu Li to capture one by one, and fireworks rose up.

In the end, Xu Li subdued seven speaker crickets, including the leader speaker cricket, and thirty-three round mages. I believe that when Dr. Laben sees so many speaker crickets and round mages, he will frantically study the illustrated information about them.

Chapter 20 Coyote Dog Sniffer

After promising the Speaker Cricket Clan, it’s time to go back to Zhuqing Village. Let Mukle go back to the Poké Ball to rest first.

The entire Speaker Cricket tribe has entered the Poké Ball, which can be considered as being conquered, Xu Li thought.

When I opened the system, a lot of rewards popped up.

[Achieve achievement, capture 18 Pokémon]

[Reward: Coyote Dog Sniffer]

The coyote dog scent tracker appeared in Xu Li's hand. It looked like a toy made up of multiple polygons shaped like a large wolfhound.

There is a rotating gear at the tail and a rotating needle attached, which is a bit similar to the robot cat in Tom and Jerry that claims to be able to catch Jerry.

【Coyote Dog Sniffer】

[The coyote is very persistent. It will use its keen sense of smell to chase down its fleeing prey and will never let it go.]

[Effect: Used on enemies fleeing on land, the Coyote Dog Sniffer will stubbornly chase them until the prey is bitten and loses its ability to move.]

Great! Xu Li saw the effect and thought that if Sparky Pony had this item when escaping, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being caught.

[Achieve achievement, capture 54 Pokémon]

[Especially, conquer the entire tribe including the leader]

[Get a special reward: Meow Meow's lucky coin※]

【Meow Meow's Lucky Coin※】

[People and Pokémon carrying Meowth's Lucky Coin will be luckier than before, and the additional effects of various skills will be more likely to occur.]

[※May the owner of the lucky gold coin have their wishes come true, meow~]

This Meow Meow’s lucky gold coin looks just like the gold coin on Meow Meow’s head, except that it’s a little more golden in color. I just don’t know how lucky this effect will be.

[Achieve achievement and capture 6 bug-type Pokémon]

[Insect-attribute move-specific learning machine x3]

[Insect-attribute move designation learning machine]

[Can be transformed into any specified insect attribute skill machine]

It's good stuff, but there are not many Bug-type moves, and not many Pokémon can learn them. Xu Li couldn't think of any moves that his Pokémon needed to use, and Paras didn't need any attack skills at the moment.

【Friendship of the Speaker Cricket Clan】

[Gained characteristic, insect attribute affinity +1]

Paras next to him suddenly blinked, feeling that Xu Li was more attractive than before, but he had always liked Xu Li very much.

On the way back, Xu Li was experimenting with the coyote dog scent tracker he had just acquired.

The head of the coyote dog's scent tracker was pointed forward to hit Xu Lixian, but the frightened deer was electrocuted by the little cat monster and ran away.

Insert the included needle into the gear at the tail and twist it until it makes a clicking sound.

Placed on the ground, the coyote dog scent tracker seemed to come alive, its red nose moving as it chased directly in the direction of the frightened deer's escape.

The speed was not slow. The frightened deer and the coyote dog scent tracker chased each other and soon disappeared from Xu Li's sight.

"Fuck, how are we going to catch up?"

Just as Xu Li asked this question, the rotating needle in his hand seemed to be attracted. The needle tip deflected and pointed in one direction, and was constantly adjusting it, as if it was tracking the direction of the coyote dog's scent tracker in real time.

"What is this? Are they connected? Let's go."

Xu Li hurried to the direction the needle was pointing.

While running, the needle has pointed in one direction and stopped moving. This should mean that the coyote dog scent tracker has caught up with the prey.

Xu Li was about to catch up with the coyote's scent tracker, but he heard an intermittent whirring sound and the cry of a frightened deer coming from there.

Xu Li looked over.

Next to a river, the coyote bit the frightened deer with its mouth, forcing the frightened deer to lie on the ground and cry miserably.

Next to it was a huge Snorlax lying on the ground with its limbs spread out and sleeping.

At this moment, its breathing was intermittent, as if it was affected by the cries of the suffering frightened deer next to it.

Then he stretched out his hand and scratched his belly, then opened his eyes blankly, trying to find the source of the wakeup call.

"Karbi?"

When Snorlax turned around, he saw the Frighthorn Deer being bitten tightly beside him. Although he felt a little strange, he had never seen the thing biting the Frighthorn Deer before.

But Snorlax was not angry about being woken up. Instead, he stretched out his broad palm, pried open the mouth of the Coyote Dog Sniffer, and helped the Frighthorn Deer out of trouble.

The freed fawn stood up in panic, a little afraid of the big guy next to it, and kicked its feet and quickly slipped away in another direction.
