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

After Xu Li subdued Pallas, a red and white figure appeared in front of Xu Li in a slightly embarrassed manner, challenging Yaya to a fight with stubborn and passionate eyes.

It is the Green Wash form of Growlithe.

The thick hair on the red body, like a scarf, also covers the eyes. It is said that it is affected by volcanic activity. The body hair contains volcanic rock components and its properties are also dual-system igneous and rocky.

But this Growlithe was obviously different from its normal state. Its body was covered with scars, and there were two small holes on its front legs that were bruised and purple, which seemed to be the traces of an attack by some poisonous pincers Pokémon. Its messy fur was gray and white.

But even so, Growlithe still challenged Yaya with a passionate look in his eyes.

Xu Li was a little puzzled. Why did he still want to fight when he was so injured?

Caterpie roared at Fang a few times, gave Fang time to react, and then turned into a wheel of fire and attacked without saying a word.

"Ya Ya, jump up and dodge, Dragon Claw!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yaya prepared the Dragon Claw and jumped up at the moment before Growlithe's Fire Wheel hit him. He dodged Growlithe's attack while turning in the air, and the Dragon Claw, which gathered dragon energy, hit Growlithe.

Boom~

The Growlithe was photographed sinking into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and filling the air with the smell of burning dirt.

Xu Li threw the Poké Ball directly at Growlithe, turning Growlithe into white light and sucking it into it. He shook the Poké Ball once, twice, and it exploded.

After coming out of the Poké Ball, Growlithe showed no intention of retreating. Instead, it became more aggressive and turned into a wheel of fire to attack Fang.

The little Caterpie is so stubborn that he has been using his teeth to resist the fire-type moves.

"Water tail."

This time, Yaya didn't wait for the opponent to attack. Instead, he swung his tail wrapped in water towards the flames and hit Growlithe directly on the head. This four-fold restrained attack once again made the opponent lose his combat ability.

Xu Li threw the Poké Ball again and captured Growlithe.

He released the unconscious Growlithe, took out the Flash Potion and the Recovery Potion to treat Growlithe. Seeing that Growlithe had not yet woken up, he put it back into the Poké Ball to let it recover from its injuries first.

After capturing three Pokémon, Xu Li opened the system to check his achievements.

Chapter 4: Little Paras, the Past of Caterpie

Telepathy I

[You can feel the thoughts of your Pokémon, which increases your tacit understanding with Pokémon and upgrades according to your proficiency]

It was raining heavily on the Blue Coast. Xu Li was lying in the hole that Yaya had just dug. There was a campfire in the hole, and he was warm all over.

Xu Li tried out the ability he had just acquired, telepathy, to feel Yaya's thoughts.

Xu Li felt the happy mood coming from Yaya. No matter where he was, being able to fight side by side with Xu Li was the happiest time for Yaya. He wanted to be Xu Li's most reliable partner.

I couldn't help but hug Yaya's grass-green body tightly.

"My General Ya is the most reliable!"

"Ya~!"

Yaya felt a little ashamed. Before arriving at Xi Cui, it had not been able to protect Xu Li... At that moment, it stuffed the orange fruit it had just found into Xu Li's hands and jumped out of Xu Li's arms.

"Haha, cute pinch teeth."

Xu Li's mood improved. He took out the energy block and stuffed it into Yaya's mouth, and released Paras and Growlithe from the Poké Ball.

Caterpillar hasn't woken up yet, perhaps because it hasn't had such a rest in a long time.

As soon as Paras came out, he instantly recalled the pain of being attacked before he fell into a coma. He trembled all over and shrank into the corner, covering his eyes with his two large claws, looking very scared.

"Pai~Pai~~ (Don't kill me~Don't kill me~~)"

Seeing this, Xu Li handed the energy block to Paras and rubbed the outer wall of the energy block. In an instant, a fragrance belonging to the energy block came out.

He said softly, "Don't be afraid. Come, have something to eat."

And Paras was instantly attracted by the fragrance of the energy cube, and stared at the energy cube with his big eyes.

Although they were still afraid, the four little legs involuntarily walked towards the energy block. They first tried to take a small bite, and then their eyes lit up and they started to eat it with relish. They no longer had the previous look of not daring to contact Xu Li.

Xu Li curiously moved closer and touched Paras's orange body. The moment Xu Li's hand touched Paras, Paras's body trembled violently.

But although Paras' body was shaking, his eyes never left the energy block and his mouth kept chewing.

Pallas felt that he had never eaten such delicious food in his life, and it would be worth it even if he was struck to death in the next second.

Seeing how tempting the energy cubes were to Paras, Xu Li said softly, "How about it, little Paras? Follow me. I'll give you endless energy cubes, and I can also ensure you won't get hurt easily. Just follow my instructions!"

"Pie~ (Really?)"

Hearing that there were endless energy blocks and he would not die, Paras looked away from the energy blocks and looked at Xu Li, his eyes sparkling.

"Bao Zhen, Ding Zhen are not as real as me"

Although it didn't know who Ding Zhen was, the simple Paras was already enjoying its future life. It had no doubt that Xu Li was lying to it and seemed very excited.

"Pai Pai~Pai~"

----

After an unknown amount of time, while Xu Li was drowsy, listening to the sound of rain outside, Growlithe moved.

Yaya, who was paying attention to Growlithe, immediately patted Xu Li and pointed at Growlithe.

Hmm~Xu Li opened his eyes

"Wake up, eat something."

As he spoke, Xu Li also handed the energy block to Growlithe.

Having seen the attraction of the Energy Cube to the Green Wash Pokémon, Xu Li continued to tempt the Energy Cube.

The moment Caterpillar opened its eyes and saw Xu Li, it immediately jumped up and looked at Xu Li warily.

"Wow~"

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. We treated you, and you can't beat us. Come, you can eat something first."

"Wow~!"

After hearing Xu Li's words, Growlithe became a little dissatisfied for a moment and turned his gaze towards Yaya, as if he wanted to fight again.

"Alright, alright, Gowdy, you haven't recovered yet. If you push yourself any further, you'll have sequelae."

"It's unscientific to push yourself like this to improve your strength. You'll end up becoming weaker. Come, let's eat!"

It seemed that he had found Growlithe's soft spot. Growlithe lowered its head obediently and began to eat the energy cube fiercely. Xu Li also took the opportunity to stroke Growlithe's thick fur.

The hair should be soft, but it feels rough to the touch, with a tough and rough texture, giving people a primitive and wild feeling.

What happened to Growlithe? Why was he so eager to improve his strength? Xu Li pondered this and unconsciously activated his telepathy.

Soon, Xu Li felt a pie-shaped statistical diagram of three parts of relaxation, five parts of unknown hatred, and two parts of sadness coming from Growlithe.

His mind became more and more focused, and suddenly, Xu Li felt that he had entered a series of scenes.

It is a picture of a little Catti living with its mother, also a Catti, in the Windward Forest. There seems to be no trace of other Catti.

Then, the picture gradually rotated, and various nodes in Growlithe's memory appeared.

There is a picture of a mother Catti puppy teaching her young Catti puppy how to patrol their home territory under the sunshine and white clouds.

There is a picture of the mother Catti severely punishing the little Catti because of the little Catti's mistakes

There are scenes of mother Gowdy teaching young Gowdy its first moves, the Fire Wheel, and various techniques.

There is also a picture of a mother Catti licking the fur of her little Catti while the little Catti sleeps peacefully in a warm nest filled with green grass.

But in the end, the scene freezes on the scene where the out-of-control giant King Scorpion breaks into the home of the little Caterpillar. With its huge body, scarlet eyes, and waving a cross poison blade, it injures the mother who bravely fights to protect the little Caterpillar.

And the little Caterpie who watched helplessly as his mother died in a small nest filled with dry grass after the war, her body emitting purple gas and covered with scars, but was unable to do anything.

Xu Li could clearly feel the grief and sadness in Growlithe.

Is that why Growlithe is so eager for strength? Is it revenge for defeating the Dragon King Scorpion? Thinking of the scars on Growlithe's body when he first saw it, Xu Li touched Growlithe again with pity.

Now that we have tamed Growlithe, we naturally have to help Growlithe fulfill its wish, Xu Li said to Growlithe seriously.

"Catti, I will help you improve your strength!"

"To defeat the Dragon King Scorpion, you're just stupidly using the Flame Wheel, but that's not enough."

"I can teach you how to fight, and your rearguard can be completely left to me and my companions."

"There's plenty of food, and I also have Fire Stones. Once you have enough, you can evolve!"

"So, just trust us..."

Through telepathy, Growlithe could also feel the sincerity in Xu Li's words.

Its mouth, which was eating the energy cube, slowly stopped while Xu Li was speaking. Sensing Xu Li's emotions, its square ears moved and it looked at Xu Li with a flickering gaze.

After slowly.

"Wow~"

"It's a deal, then we'll be fighting together."

"Wow!"

----

the next day.

At the Scattered Stone Beach, Xu Li and the Pokémon who came out of the Windward Forest had no time to enjoy the sea breeze, because the ones who were about to enter the battlefield were three Armori and one Gouriki.

Xu Li picked up Paras and commanded

"Fang, Growlithe, prepare for battle"

"Ya Ya, Yan returns!"

"Karti Gowdy, Rockfall"

As soon as he finished speaking, while the arm force wasn't paying attention, Yaya kicked up his calves and came to the side of one of the arm force, gathered his arms and chopped it hard on the arm force.

The arm wrestler hit the other arm wrestler and they both flew backwards, and at the end of their flight, Growlithe's rockslide was waiting for them.

Haoli was extremely angry when he saw what happened in such a short time, but before he could take any action.

Xu Li lifted up Pallas and threw it up

"Aim at Haoli, mushroom spores!"

Paras in the air was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly fired spores with hypnotic effect at Hao Li.

Even if he didn't want to, the spores with a strong hypnotic effect still made Hao Li feel sleepy and he fell down.
