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

Xu Li discovered that none of his Pokémon seemed to have any binding moves, but looking at the tough and retractable rope in his hand, Xu Li put it away, thinking it might have other uses.

Walking on the Deer Horn Mountain Trail, there were three or two frightened deer running past. They ran from behind Xu Li for two minutes and then ran out of Xu Li's sight.

Xu Li looked at himself again and saw that he had only walked half the distance after rushing day and night, and he couldn't help but think.

It would be great if there were mounts like the Weird Horned Deer, Phantom Tail Fish, Warrior Eagle or Gullerton Milton in the game.

Thinking of this, Xu Li stroked the Growlithe that was following him, which in turn resulted in a puzzled bark from the Growlithe.

"Meaaa?"

After Growlithe evolves into Arcanine, you might try riding it, but Growlithe is better at short-range bursts and is not capable of long-distance travel.

When talking about mounts, Xu Li thought of the shining little fire horse that escaped. It was able to escape unscathed from Xu Li's sneak attack, and perfectly met Xu Li's requirements for a land mount.

After evolving into Infernape, the gray-white flames are so cool. I wish I could see it again.

As Xu Li was thinking about this, Miaomiao's lucky gold coin on his chest suddenly fell down. Xu Li reacted and tried to reach out to catch it.

But he got nothing and watched Meow Meow's lucky gold coin roll to the side road and fall down the hillside.

"Isn't it?"

Was this a hint? Xu Li thought of the special function of Miaomiao's lucky coin and quickly circled back to the bottom of the hillside.

"Boni~~"

We walked all the way to the bottom of the hillside, where there was a deep pit. From afar, we could hear a pitiful cry coming from inside.

"Boni~~"

When they heard the sound of Xu Li walking on the grass, the shouting in the pit seemed to get louder.

Xu Li looked down and saw that the depth was at least two meters. At the bottom of the pit was the shining little fire horse that Xu Li had been thinking about.

There is also a golden sparkle next to it, which is Meow Meow’s lucky gold coin that just fell.

Ah? It's really so magical. Xu Li blinked and said to the little fire horse:

"We will rescue you, don't panic"

Then he looked at the little Charmander in the cave and became troubled. None of Xu Li's Pokémon could pull the little Charmander out of the cave.

He could only release the little flame monkey and Fangya, and said:

"Try to get to the bottom of the cave and lift the little fire horse out. Don't force it."

"Spread~"

"Tooth~"

Flame Monkey and Fang nodded, jumped into the bottom of the pit together, and tried to lift Flame Monkey out.

But the surface of the pit was almost vertical. Not only did it become difficult for Flame Monkey and Yaya to lift the Little Fire Horse out, but the Little Fire Horse also bumped into things and cried out in pain.

"Tooth~Tooth"

Yaya remembered something and pointed at Xu Li's Poké Ball to remind Xu Li.

"Yes"

Xu Li patted his head, wondering why he hadn’t thought of it.

I used this trick to move the seal ball when I was in the Gunzal Coast, but now I have been living in Xicui for almost two months, and I have forgotten it.

Let Yaya and Charmeleon come up first. Xu Li took out the Poké Ball, told Sparky and Charmeleon not to resist, and then threw the Poké Ball.

The Poké Ball shook a few times, and Ponytail was put into the Poké Ball. Xu Li then released Ponytail on the ground.

"Boni~~~"

The released Sparkle Pony cheered for being saved, tried to stand up but staggered a few times and fell down.

The little fire horse, who found that he could not stand up, seemed to be hit, and the blue flames on his body fluctuated.

Xu Li only then discovered that there was an obvious abrasion on the left thigh of the little fire horse, which was probably caused by falling into the pit. No wonder Yaya and the others made a painful cry when they lifted the little fire horse with just a slight bump.

Xu Li took out the medicine and tried to apply it to Ponytail, but at this time Ponytail saw the Growlithe beside Xu Li and recognized it as the Pokémon that had attacked and chased it a few days ago.

The flames on his body suddenly became stronger, and Xu Li's hand, which was trying to treat the little fire horse, was burned instead.

"Wow!"

Xu Li pulled his hand back abruptly. The expressions of Fang, Growlithe and Infernape who were released nearby suddenly changed. They wanted to teach this ungrateful guy a lesson.

"No, no, no, wait a minute."

Xu Li stopped his Pokémon, after all, he was the one who had attacked it first.

"Little Fire Horse, we did attack you before, but we had no ill intentions."

"Look, we have saved you now, we just want you to be our companion"

"Consume your flames. After all, you can't resist if we want to do anything to you now. Let me take care of your injuries first."

"Boni~"

The little fire horse listened to Xu Li's words and stood there blankly. After a while, it silently put away the flames, which meant it accepted Xu Li's words.

Xu Li suddenly felt the heat subside. He stretched out his hand to touch the flame of the little fire horse, and found that even if he touched the flame directly, he would not feel burned. Instead, he felt warm.

It is said that people who get the consent of the little fire horse will not feel the burning mane when touching it. It seems to be true.

"Boni~"

Xu Li carefully applied medicine to the little fire horse's wound. The little fire horse felt the recovery from the wound and was barely able to walk. He also thanked Xu Li.

"How did you fall into this trap? I think this trap is very obvious."

"Bo...Ni..."

When Xu Li asked this question, Shining Pony's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Seeing the frustrated look on Little Fire Horse's face, Xu Li rubbed his head and stopped asking questions, changing the subject:

"What about your fellow tribesmen? Little fire horses usually run in groups, right?"

"Boni! Bonnie~~Ni~~~~"

When Sparkle Pony heard this question, his mood changed even more dramatically.

Ah, this question also hit a thunder. Seeing the little fire horse like this, Xu Li patted the little fire horse's body and comforted it:

"You can tell me anything you want, we can be considered friends now, right?"

"Boni~"

Perhaps the word "friend" moved Little Fire Horse a little, and Little Fire Horse couldn't help but tell Xu Li about his grievances.

This is a very common story.

The little fire pony has had no one to take care of it since it was born, and it has been bullied because of the different colors of the flames on its body. It is often chased and bullied by other little fire ponies, so it is so vigilant.

It fell into this pit because it was being chased by its own kind. It fell in without paying attention. In the end, all its own kind left, leaving it alone wailing inside.

After listening to the story of the little fire horse silently, Xu Li clapped his hands.

"Then come with us, become our companions, leave this place with us, and leave these fellow tribesmen who bully you."

"We are companions and friends. Each of us is a different individual. We will not bully you because of your uniqueness."

"Boni?"

Shiny Pony finally left with Xu Li.

Before leaving, Xu Li discovered the Galaxy team logo hidden next to the pit when he was collecting Miaomiao's lucky gold coins.

I think this trap was dug by Team Galactic. If it weren't for Meowth's lucky coin to guide him, Sparkle and Pony might have been caught by a member of the investigation team.

Chapter 23 It should be called Double-edged Pill

Walking back to the camp base with Sparkle Pony, Pony stumbled all the way but still wanted to walk on his own.

Xu Li once suggested taking Charmander back into the Poké Ball, but Charmander refused.

But now Xu Li has gained the initial recognition of the Shining Pony, and he will not be burned even if he strokes its blue flame hard.

【Little Fire Horse※♀

Attribute: Fire

Ability: Fire

Moves: Sparks, Impact, Flame Wheel, Charged Flame Attack, High-Speed ​​Movement

Favorability: 67 (Companion?)

Almost all of the little fire horse's moves are related to speed. It seems that he is indeed a good runner.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Caterpie gave a warning.

Three rumbling stones suddenly popped out from the ore exposed on the hillsides on both sides of Jiaolu Mountain Road.

Following the Rumble Stone, a bunch of small pits appeared on the ground, and then a group of Fist Rocks popped out, and there were more than ten of them by visual inspection.

It’s the Longlongshi family again, and they continue to appear.

This was not the first time Xu Li had been attacked like this.

When moving forward in the Obsidian Fields, if you don't have more Pokémon with you, you will often be attacked by aggressive Pokémon in the wild. However, these attacks are now in Xu Li's Poké Ball.

This time, Xu Li was followed closely by Growlithe, Fang, Charmeleon and Ponyta. How dare this group of Rhydons come out? Are they confident in their own strength or something?

Although there seem to be a lot of enemies, at least for now, no boss has appeared.

【Longlong Stone♂

Level: Lv28

Features: Strong

Moves: Circle, Iron Wall, Rock Grinding, Rockfall, Big Self-Destruct

Favorability: 0 (I don't like you)]

"spread!"

A Rumble Stone picked up a stone and threw it at the little Flame Monkey, but the little Flame Monkey dodged it by diving sideways, causing the little Flame Monkey to glare back at it angrily.

Xu Li did not dare to be careless. He took out the Poké Ball and summoned Water Otter and Paras.

"Pie~"

After Pallas came out, he looked left and right, only to realize that he was going to fight. He quickly jumped onto Xu Li's shoulder and stared at the rumbling stone on the ground.

"Mushroom spores, paralysis powder"

Paras no longer needed to pause before launching a move like before. The next second after hearing Xu Li's command, the mushrooms on Paras' back shook and sprinkled a large number of mushroom spores directly into the rumbling stone group.

Paras's control ability has improved a lot. Even if the mushroom spores were sprinkled on Xu Li's shoulders, they did not touch Xu Li at all.

The mushroom spores blew towards Rumblebot on the side. Rumblebot and Geodudes didn't dare to be easily contaminated by the spores, and quickly retreated to avoid the mushroom spores.

But this time, Paras deliberately increased the coverage of the spores, and many unfortunate Geodudes were directly covered by the spores and fell asleep on the ground.

Just as the Geodude that was not covered by the spores was looking at its sleeping companions and feeling lucky, the subsequent paralysis powder hit it directly, paralyzing most of the Geodudes that were not asleep and a Rhydon.

Paras's mushroom spores and paralysis powder were like a signal to start a team fight. Charmander, Gryphon, and the quickly charged Water Otter quickly rushed towards the group of Geodudes.

Yaya stayed beside Xu Li to protect him.

The three attacking Pokémon all set their sights on the paralyzed Rhydon.

Caterpie was the first to use the Double-Edged Headbutt, and with the rock light on its head, it went straight to Rhydon. All the Geodudes along the way were knocked away by it, clearing a path.

Despite being paralyzed, Longlongshi struggled to use the Iron Wall skill, trying to strengthen his defense and delay time to wait for support from his companions.

Rays of steel light gathered on its grooved body, but the little flame monkey used a single hand to make an insulting gesture, destroying the strengthening.

Longlongshi couldn't help but get angry, and he didn't need the iron wall anymore. He struggled and wanted to use a big self-explosion to kill the monkey who insulted him.
