Chapter 99: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter, Chapter 38

It was indeed a Honedge.

As for why these two Pokémon appeared here, Luo Ge had his own guesses.

The evolution of Yamask is Cofagrigus, which fits perfectly with this coffin.

And since Honedge is a Ghost-type Pokémon, appearing beside the king's remains is reasonable.

However...

Luo Ge looked at the two drowsy Pokémon and felt something seemed a bit strange.

Were these two Ghost-type Pokémon both quite fond of sleeping?

Luo Ge even suspected that if he casually threw two balls, he could capture them directly.

Thinking this, two 【Dusk Balls】 appeared in Luo Ge's hand; the items he had just obtained could now be used.

In a place like this cave, using 【Dusk Balls】 naturally gives a higher capture probability.

It was three times the probability of a standard Poké Ball.

Holding the two 【Dusk Balls】 and tapping them lightly, Yamask and Honedge turned into two beams of red light and were sucked inside.

Luo Ge's eyes narrowed, curious whether this would succeed in capturing them, as he stared tightly at the two 【Dusk Balls】.

The two 【Dusk Balls】, decorated with black-green patterns, not only looked identical but also shook with nearly the same amplitude.

After a simple shake, two overlapping chime sounds rang out.

"Ding-dong."

Both were captured successfully at the same time!

Whether it was due to the 【Dusk Balls】' triple probability or because the two hadn't fully woken up, he didn't know.

Capturing Yamask and Honedge was the easiest time Luo Ge had ever had so far.

Before, he at least had to use some food as bait; this time, he succeeded without even needing to lure them.

The sudden sound also broke Bisigi's attention; she glanced over here but saw only two unknown balls.

There was nothing else.

Thinking it was another new item of Luo Ge's, and sighing at how many items Luo Ge possessed, Bisigi continued admiring the crown.

Casually putting away the 【Dusk Balls】, Luo Ge once again turned his gaze to the mountains of gold and silver beside him.

There weren't many things in the coffin; excluding Yamask and Honedge, there was only a skeleton and the crown.

So the remaining valuable items were naturally the countless gold and silver treasures beside them.

Regarding this, no further words were needed; naturally, he would try to store them all in the 【Pokémon Bag】.

Earlier, Bisigi had also said that she only wanted the crown; the other items were inconvenient for her to take away, so she handed them all over to Luo Ge.

Fortunately, after a month of training, his strength had improved significantly, and the bag's capacity had also expanded greatly.

In the end, he managed to take away the vast majority of the gold and silver jewels; the small remainder, Luo Ge simply decided that whoever saw it could have it, letting Amok take it.

According to Luo Ge's estimate, this sum of gold and silver jewels would be an astronomical number, at least far more than the Elara family's money.

Now, even if money was needed, he didn't necessarily have to take it from the Elara family; instead, he could use this money to expand the family's influence.

Currently, it was just a second-rate gang, but Luo Ge's plans were not limited to this level.

He wanted to build a colossal power!

As for how to proceed, he already had a plan in his heart.

After handling things simply, Luo Ge led Bisigi and the other two away, and the bodies of the two men in suits were also destroyed.

Upon reaching the outskirts of the Dorok Ruins, Amok took his leave first, parting ways with the two.

And before leaving, he thanked Luo Ge and the other two again, while also stating that he would follow Luo Ge's advice and try to participate in the Hunter Exam.

However, Luo Ge had only walked outside for a short while when he discovered that the two women had run over from the hotel at some unknown time.

"Luo Ge!"

When Machi and Shizuku saw Luo Ge and the others from afar, their originally pale faces instantly flushed with a touch of color, revealing expressions of surprise.

They hurriedly ran to Luo Ge's front, disregarding everything else, and directly opened their arms to hug him tightly, fearing he might disappear the next second.

Shizuku, who was a step slower, paused for a moment; feeling it inappropriate not to hug something, she went to hug Bisigi beside her.

Bisigi: So am I a substitute?

Luo Ge was somewhat stunned and couldn't immediately react to why the two women made such a move.

However, feeling Machi sobbing in his arms, his gaze softened; he gently stroked her head and comforted her:

"Am I not standing here just fine? What's wrong?"

Could it be that Machi saw the bloodstains on his body, so she felt worried?

That still didn't explain why the two of them had come over.

Machi hugged Luo Ge tightly; the holes in Luo Ge's clothes and the bloodstains were clearly visible, making her nose ache.

Obviously, Luo Ge had just experienced a bloody battle; just looking at his appearance, she could imagine how fierce the fight had been.

Machi lowered her head, not letting Luo Ge see her face at that moment, and said with a trembling voice:

"Just now... Eevee suddenly vanished."

"So Shizuku and I were worried about you..."

Luo Ge suddenly understood; so that was it.

Because Eevee's disappearance was quite sudden, Machi and the other two worried that something bad had happened to him and specifically ran over to check.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Bisigi coughed twice and said with a helpless expression: "Didn't you two think? I was right beside him?"

"How could anything happen to him?"

"Can you have a little more faith in me, and also..."

"Can you go hug Luo Ge?"

Bisig's last words were directed at Shizuku.

"Oh, but... there's no room for me to hug Luo Ge."

Shizuku blinked her eyes, then released her hands and stepped back two paces.

Hearing this, Machi's ears gradually turned red; under Luo Ge's persuasion, she also let go of her tightly clasped hands.

Luo Ge nodded and said softly, "Don't worry. Not only am I capable of defending myself, but Bisig is here too."

"I won't get into trouble; I promise you that."

Even for Machi and the other, he would fight with all his might to survive.

"Bu-yi..."

Eevee, standing on Luo Ge's shoulder, jumped into Machi's arms and looked at her with cute eyes, trying to cheer her up.

"Eevee."

Holding the soft Eevee, Machi's panicked mood gradually faded, slowly returning to her usual calm state.

Whenever she encountered matters concerning Luo Ge, she found it hard to remain calm.

Once calmed, Machi realized two things.

First, improving her strength was urgent; she must work harder, otherwise situations like this, where she was powerless, would only happen again and again.

Second...

She truly could not be without Luo Ge.

Looking at Luo Ge before her, who, despite being covered in wounds and having just endured a fierce battle, was still smiling to comfort her with a gentle tone.

Machi knew just how important Luo Ge was to her.

After the incident at the Dorok Ruins, both Luo Ge and Bisig gained something, and their plans would now proceed on track to continue training.

This battle not only demonstrated that Luo Ge's training results were excellent but also revealed his shortcomings.

Namely, insufficient aura capacity and a lack of mastery over advanced techniques.

For aura users of comparable strength, Luo Ge's aura capacity was considered top-tier, far exceeding the average.

However, facing a decent second-rate aura user like the man in the suit, this advantage became a disadvantage.

His aura capacity was still far less than that of aura users who had trained for several years, or even a decade or more.

Therefore, it still needed strengthening.

Secondly, the advanced techniques were those used by the man in the suit during the fight: 【En】, 【Ko】, and 【Ryu】.

For aura users of the same level, without the influence of aura differences, naturally, the side more skilled in advanced techniques would win.

Let alone the fact that Luo Ge did not yet know advanced techniques.

As Bisig said, for Luo Ge to defeat the man in the suit and the man with sunglasses at this level was enough to be called a miracle.

If he could skillfully employ advanced techniques, his strength would soar again to an unimaginable height.

Thus, the upcoming training plan would focus on aura capacity and advanced techniques.

Considering the importance of actual combat, Bisig led the three of them to a different location for training.

Still within the Bagrose United Nations, but in a position further north.

That place was quite famous across all six continents, far more renowned than the Dorok Ruins.

It was named "Forest of Beasts."

It was said that the outer perimeter housed many ordinary beasts, while the inner perimeter was inhabited by fierce demon beasts and rare beasts.

Among them were ingredients rare even worldwide, such as the Tusked Boar, whose flesh was as translucent as a gem.

That place was also the second stop chosen by Bisig.

Three days later,

Boom!

A wild boar about the size of a car lay on the ground.

It directly flattened a large patch of lawn, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The wild boar's surface was covered in thick red skin; its body was exceptionally sturdy, and if it charged recklessly, it could easily knock down trees one by one.

Inside its mouth was a row of saw-toothed, sharp teeth, along with two longer fangs protruding, similar to a saber-toothed tiger.

On its body were striped patterns, making it appear especially ferocious.

This was one of the more powerful species in the outer perimeter of the 【Forest of Beasts】—the Tusked Boar.

Ordinary people encountering such a creature had only one option: flee; even seasoned hunters dared not provoke it casually.

Yet this existence was struck down by Luo Ge with a casual slash of his sword, its life force completely gone, lying on the ground with only a red line appearing on its neck.

Luo Ge looked at the fallen giant, glancing at the Single Sword Sheath in his hand with considerable surprise, not expecting its power to be so astonishing.

The Single Sword Sheath was indeed a Pokémon, but it could also be held in the hand and used as a sword to attack.

This was Luo Ge's unique idea.

Imagine if an enemy thought he was a swordsman, knocked away his "sword," and then the Single Sword Sheath could launch a surprise attack.

Who could have imagined that a sword was actually a sentient aura beast capable of moving on its own?

More importantly, Luo Ge discovered that as long as he held the Single Sword Sheath, his mind would subconsciously execute powerful sword techniques.

Flowing smoothly like floating clouds and running water, as if he had immersed himself in swordsmanship for a long time; simply holding the Single Sword Sheath made him a grandmaster of swordsmanship.

This might be related to the Single Sword Sheath itself.

As for the power, it was also astonishing; a casual slash with the sharp Single Sword Sheath, without even using a skill, could pierce through the Tusked Boar's hide.
