Chapter 36

Its strength is even greater than an Intermediate-strength Pokémon!

After recalling Slakoth once more,

Su Lin didn't hesitate

and took Marshtomp directly into the mountain range.

Just as he started crossing,

he ran into a young man with a Combusken.

"Buddy, are you also looking for the Dream Legend seeker?"

Dream Legend seeker?

Su Lin was stunned for a moment,

then realized

that this guy was talking about the legend of the Dream Forest.

Su Lin hadn't intended to pay attention to him,

but he subconsciously used his Data Eye

to look at that Combusken.

Level Lv17.

Pseudo-Champion potential?

And it had awakened its Hidden Ability, Speed Boost!

This was a Combusken that possessed both Speed Boost and Blaze abilities!

The real world is different from anime and games;

Pokémon can possess two abilities at the same time.

It's just that one is innate,

and the other is a Hidden Ability,

which requires awakening to master.

The other party's Combusken

had awakened its hidden Speed Boost ability so quickly;

it was very extraordinary!

There must be at least a Champion-level Trainer behind them!

If that were the case,

it wouldn't be a bad connection to have in the future.

"Yeah, are you too?"

Su Lin nodded.

At the same time, his gaze was filled with surprise.

This Combusken's Trainer...

his hair was actually dyed ink-green!

The bangs slanted to the right were fluttering in the wind.

Regarding this,

Su Lin could only say...

his taste was quite unique!

This guy noticed Su Lin's surprised gaze.

He didn't answer Su Lin's counter-question immediately,

but instead suddenly shook his ink-green bangs.

"Hehe, my hair is unique enough, right?"

"Let's get to know each other? Bai Xin~"

Su Lin's gaze was only surprised;

there were no other emotions hidden within.

Bai Xin, who noticed this, was very excited,

so he took the initiative to step forward and make friends.

"It is indeed unique enough. Su Lin."

The two of them had made a preliminary acquaintance.

"Marshtomp~"

"Combusken~"

Marshtomp and Combusken also looked at each other

and got to know each other.

Only then did Bai Xin answer Su Lin's previous words.

"I'm not looking for that thing, but I'm also going that way."

"I heard that there might be a Pokémon I want to capture over there,"

"so I plan to go over and take a look."

After Bai Xin finished speaking,

Su Lin obtained key information.

Someone was already over at the dark canyon

looking for the so-called legend of the Dream Forest!

It seems that among this batch of examinees participating in the Pokémon Exam,

there were still some who had some guts.

To avoid long delays,

Su Lin intended to speed up.

Who knew that this Bai Xin would actually follow him with his Combusken,

under the guise of having company.

After trying to shake him off a few times to no avail,

Su Lin couldn't be bothered to care about this guy.

However, he soon discovered something.

After stepping into the mountain range,

the wild Pokémon encountered

were mostly intercepted by this Bai Xin.

Don't misunderstand.

Su Lin could feel

that this Bai Xin wasn't intentionally stealing Pokémon points or anything.

This guy was actually taking care of him?

Afraid that his Marshtomp couldn't handle it?

Holy crap!

This guy couldn't be having an abnormal orientation, could he!

Su Lin looked at Bai Xin's ink-green bangs

and thought of this for no reason.

A chill swept through his entire body.

At this moment, Bai Xin

was just commanding his Combusken

to defeat a Nuzleaf that had originally rushed toward Marshtomp.

Suddenly,

Bai Xin seemed to have thought of something

and looked at Su Lin sheepishly.

"Don't overthink it, the Pokémon I want to capture might be relatively strong." ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
