Chapter 107: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 44

"Obtained item 【Moon Stone】"

Hmm?

Luo Ge's expression froze as he realized he seemed to have heard something unusual.

The first was 【Commemorative Ball】.

The 【Commemorative Ball】 is a ball with commemorative significance; its appearance is quite pleasing, though its capture rate is the same as the basic red-and-white ball.

The second was different; the 【Powerful Earplugs】 were not simply items for humans or Pokémon to use.

Rather, they belonged to the 【Key Item】 category in the game.

【Key Items】 differ from 【Ordinary Items】; they are mainly for assisting the protagonist's game experience.

For example, bicycles, roller skates, watering cans... and even the Energy Cube set obtained earlier were all 【Key Items】.

【Powerful Earplugs】: Can freely adjust the volume of sounds in the surrounding environment.

In other words, with this item, he could arbitrarily change the sounds around him, making them louder or softer.

It seemed useless at first glance, merely allowing one to make others' voices louder or softer, or to sleep more peacefully.

But in fact, it had great utility.

Whether in the Hunter World or the Pokémon World, many attacks are formed through sound.

With these 【Powerful Earplugs】, he could evade such attacks, rendering them completely ineffective.

So it was a very good item.

Luo Ge was quite satisfied, then continued reading, only to find an item that pleased him even more.

【Moon Stone】!

This was the item capable of evolving Nidorino!

Luo Ge's breath hitched; looking at the full moon above with its gentle glow, he suddenly felt this was no coincidence.

Perhaps it was because of the full moon that the 【Moon Stone】 had appeared?

Forcing himself to suppress his joy, Luo Ge rose from the blanket and walked toward Nidorino, who was sleeping nearby.

"Mmm?"

Sensing Luo Ge's approach, Nidorino shook its face to wake itself up and called out in confusion.

Luo Ge half-squatted, his face beaming with joy, and whispered to Nidorino, who still didn't understand the situation:

"Nidorino, do you want to evolve?"

Luo Ge held the 【Moon Stone】 in his hand and showed it to Nidorino.

The 【Moon Stone】 was a slightly dark stone, yet with a sheen on its surface.

Under the moonlight, it shimmered with a faint, elusive glow, like a whole table of delicacies attracting Nidorino to grab it.

Once used, Nidorino could evolve again, reaching its final form—Nidoking!

Nidorino stared blankly at the 【Moon Stone】 in Luo Ge's hand.

It recalled the scene of its first meeting with Luo Ge in the Meteor City, then thought of the days they spent training together...

And at the Dorok Ruins, being blocked by 【General Gullerta】, unable to support Luo Ge, feeling that helplessness.

It wanted to become stronger.

Only with greater strength could it protect the people it wished to protect.

This was also the reason it bore its scars and persisted in training every day.

The opportunity to grow stronger was right before it; how could it possibly let it slip away?

"Mmm!"

Nidorino reached out and placed its paw on the 【Moon Stone】.

In the next instant, Nidorino was enveloped by a ball of white light.
