Chapter 223

After capturing Riolu, Xiang Guangtai also received a message from the Entree Forest.

【Entree Mission: Help Riolu complete the fateful duel.】

【Reward: Release Orb x10, Unknown Medal x1, Unknown Badge x1, Ancient Fighting Gem x5, Trial Reward x1.】

【Note: Just consider it for the reward, use Aura Sphere on him.】

Fighting, fighting?

Why does this Entree Forest still have a feeling of watching the fun?

After helping the little blue puppy take a bath, Xiang Guangtai let it get to know his other Pokémon; Riolu was very interested in Grotle and Lilligant!

Oh, these are Pokémon I haven't met in Unova!

Not to mention Grotle, I don't know it at all, but Pokémon with plants growing on their backs are relatively common among Grass types... oh, you can grow fruit on your body!

Riolu looked very surprised, and under Grotle's generous gift, it picked one and tasted it.

Ugh, the taste is really wonderful!

For humans, the fruit on Grotle's back can only be said to be average, but Pokémon like it very much, and Riolu is the same; its Aura expressed a feeling of envy.

Ah, it's so convenient, you can actually produce food to eat yourself, and looking at you, it seems you can evolve again; will this fruit become bigger in the future?

"Ha!"

Grotle nodded, showing a look of longing, and began to whisper to Riolu.

It will evolve into a very, very big Torterra in the future, and not only will it grow fruit on its back, but it can also plant various magical herbs and vanilla, as well as the phantom soil that allows plants to never wither; that is also one of the goals it pursues with its trainer.

Maybe in the future, it will grow different fruits on its back according to the seasons; do you know Tropius? That kind of Pokémon is a Pokémon that grows fruit on its chin!

Riolu immediately got excited.

Oh! Tropius! It knows this kind of Pokémon!

It also exists in Unova; it is said that they fly over from far away every year, but it is very rare for them to settle locally; I heard that there are many Tropius near White Forest, but it won't go to White Forest for the time being.

After saying that, the feeling of envy in Riolu's Aura became more.

Self-production and self-marketing, that's too good!

When going out, you don't have to worry about food at all, you only need to absorb the nutrients of the soil to grow a lot of fruit; ugh, it's simply a mobile buffet.

Riolu imagined the appearance of Torterra, because it hadn't seen it, it could only describe it in its mind. But it was soon interrupted by Lilligant on the side.

By the way, there is also Lilligant!

Although it seems I have seen it in the wild in my impression...

I should have seen it!

Riolu hugged its chest with both hands, tilting its head to recall.

Right! Lilligant in the wild looks fatter! No, no, no, that should be their skirts!

So, why don't you have a skirt?

And you look so slender, how should I put it, you are very different from those Lilligant who are like young ladies!

"This is a regional form."

Xiang Guangtai introduced it to the dazed little blue puppy: "The same Pokémon will have different appearances in different regions and different eras, it's amazing, right."

"By the way. Can you use Instruct?"

Riolu's eyes moved, and it raised a finger!

Instruct, by giving correct and reasonable guidance, improve the attack and defense of all our members!

In an instant, the abilities of all the Pokémon in the whole room were improved!

"Dore~"

Lilligant was the happiest; under Riolu's puzzled gaze, Lilligant also used Instruct.

The abilities of all Pokémon rose again!

"Wang wu! (You can do it too!)"

However, Lilligant's Instruct and my Instruct seem to be a bit different; this subtle difference lies in... Riolu felt that it was about to realize something, but there was no clear content to point to.

"Do you feel it? Lilligant's Instruct will make it easier for Pokémon to understand some moves; of course, she will demonstrate through more specific teaching. The subtle difference you noticed is right here."

"Both of you are Fighting-type Pokémon, there are many moves that are common; if there is anything you don't understand, ask Lilligant. Although her fighting style is more elegant, like a dance, you don't need to imitate it completely, you just need to 'emulate' it; for this, you are the best at it."

Xiang Guangtai explained with a smile.

"Awoo! (So that's how it is!)"

Riolu suddenly realized.

Then the Aura puppy extended its claw!

Please take care of me, Sister Lilligant!

"There are two more companions..." Xiang Guangtai looked at the serious Riolu: "I came to Unova to pick up the remaining two companions, you will know them soon."

"If you can enter the Dream World, you can see them in advance, and you can also see the legendary Three Swordsmen!"

Riolu showed an excited expression.

Oh, it's the dream Three Swordsmen I saw in the Aura before!

So that means the remaining two companions are that huge dragon and that fluffy bug glowing all over!

They are all Pokémon I haven't seen before!

The little blue puppy was very much looking forward to its new journey; after playing for a while, it suddenly started to get tired; that was the effect of the emergency jelly starting to take effect. Riolu yawned, found a comfortable corner, sat down directly, and fell asleep after a while.

"Let's rest too." Xiang Guangtai smiled helplessly; the surrounding Pokémon were also tired and entered the dreamland one after another, but perhaps because their dreams were destroyed by the Plasma Society, no Pokémon entered the Dream World that night.

The next day.

Riolu, washed clean, appeared in front of Nari, who came to visit, and the little girl, who knew Steel-type Pokémon extremely well, rarely showed emotional fluctuations.

"So this is the friend you were talking about."

Although Riolu doesn't have the Steel type, Lucario has it after evolution!

In Unova, this is a very rare Pokémon!

"Can I touch it?"

Sure enough, everyone likes the puppy.

It's just that when Riolu heard Nari say this, its little head shook immediately, its ears shaking.

No, no!

You are not my trainer, nor are you someone I know, I don't have the habit of letting strangers rub my head!

I came from the Training Rock House, I have self-esteem.

"Woo..." Nari made a sound of disappointment.

Xiang Guangtai was also helpless and could only change the subject: "Speaking of which, I thought you should come here later today, why did you come so early."

"Because of the commotion caused by the Plasma Society, the school is temporarily closed."

Nari's brow furrowed slightly; the incident caused by the Plasma Society yesterday made the news in Castelia City.

Although most of the Plasma Society members who participated in the speech were temporarily detained, because they are legal, there is no way to deal with them too excessively. Just as Nari's father said, the Plasma Society had previously tried to go to the Pokémon school to give a speech, but was strictly stopped.

Therefore, the Castelia authorities intend to clear the Plasma Society people out of Castelia City; now their speeches have made the social security here more than twice as chaotic.

Various companies have expressed dissatisfaction with the Plasma Society's speeches; how can the economy and security of Castelia City be managed if this continues!

"Not just schools, companies like the Battle Company have also been affected, and there are employees who released their Pokémon like Sister Keiko..."

Just as she was talking, a person dressed as a business professional came over from a distance!

"Hello, I'm from the Battle Company, I saw the address here at the Pokémon Center, thank you very much..."

This business professional was sweating profusely; he came to find his Pokémon. After the speech ended a few days ago, he felt at the time that he had done a good deed with a clear conscience, and even felt guilty about capturing Pokémon.

As a result, after returning to the Battle Company, he met Keiko, and only under the president's blame and reprimand did he realize that he seemed to have done something wrong, plus the lack of understanding and guidance from other companions, the strange thoughts that were hazy in his mind suddenly disappeared.

"For me, Pokémon battle is an important job, so Pokémon are my partners and also good helpers in my work; losing a Pokémon is like losing half of my life, it has long been a part of my life, how could I do such a stupid thing..."

"Has the influence of the psychic ability been lifted."

"Eh?"

"In fact, when I was in Central Park before..."

Xiang Guangtai briefly talked about seeing Beheeyem, and the business professional's expression suddenly became very wonderful.

"Of course, this is just a guess, but I am about to inform Officer Jenny about this news."

"Ah! Beheeyem is a very rare Pokémon!" The business professional's expression became very strange: "It is said that they are aliens from the universe, they are Pokémon full of unsolved mysteries that appeared from a UFO that fell into the desert about 50 years ago! And even the fact that it is a Pokémon has only been confirmed in recent years."

"Was I actually manipulated by aliens! Although I feel a bit scared, why am I even more surprised?!"

"If this matter were to be news, it would definitely make the front page! It's a pity that I focus on battle business; it seems that I was easily controlled by aliens because my mental state was not good due to staying up late for overtime..."

The business professional left muttering, of course, not forgetting to leave his business card.

"That's it, Nari, let me watch the house for the big brother."

Of course, learning more about the fighting styles and special moves of Steel-type Pokémon is an important purpose, but the heart of caring for other Pokémon is also true, especially when seeing many Pokémon here waiting for their owners to pick them up, Nari felt more and more that the Plasma Society was unpleasant.

With Nari helping to stay at the shop here, Xiang Guangtai could freely and actively go to find those trainers; he originally intended to let Lilligant stay here.

"Then, Dou Jianqiao, you stay."

After all, Nari came for Dou Jianqiao; the latter's single eye looked at the little girl quietly, not expecting Nari to have already approached Dou Jianqiao and started to look at it carefully.

Although she had already seen it once yesterday, she didn't look at it carefully; she was very interested in all Steel-type Pokémon.

The aesthetics of cold steel and geometric shapes are difficult for ordinary people to understand, and there is a unique beauty of power!

And after Xiang Guangtai left the shop, he naturally went to the Unova police station first, met Officer Jenny who appeared in Central Park that day, and she was very surprised after hearing about Beheeyem, and immediately went to investigate the group of Plasma Society members who were detained.

However, the Plasma Society people were tight-lipped, insisting that the Beheeyem had nothing to do with them—of course, this was also because many Plasma Society members really didn't know what was going on with that Beheeyem.

Xiang Guangtai was not surprised by this.

Many Plasma Society members were fooled into the group; they were essentially ordinary citizens who were disappointed with the relationship between humans and Pokémon for various reasons, or lost confidence in themselves and turned to the cause of the Plasma Society; such members could not touch the core secrets of the Plasma Society.

Of course, the Sage who was caught should know something, but it's a pity that he had already been bailed out last night, because the Sage did not command the commotion; the cause of the commotion was that a female member named Ange attacked without authorization.

By shifting the blame, she easily left the detention center.

"That's it! It's a pity, we can't do anything excessive to them! But Beheeyem is also a very rare Pokémon; Professor Juniper's research institute classified it as a Brain Pokémon, I didn't understand what it meant at the time, now I finally know!"

"If you use psychic power to control people's hearts, it's simply impossible to guard against! We will pay more attention, thank you for your reminder!"

Castelia City has made up its mind to temporarily clear the Plasma Society out of the city; as for which city this group of people will go to mess with later... that's unknown!

"Wang wu!"

Riolu shook its head, very unhappy with this result.

They were clearly caught by the human security side, but they could still be released without charge in the end!

This organization is really difficult to deal with!

Fortunately, the subsequent return action went very smoothly; perhaps because Beheeyem was knocked away by Dou Jianqiao with one blow at the time, many people's memories had not been completely modified, just producing some vague impulsive consciousness.

When a whole day passed, their brains gradually became clear, and they found that the Pokémon they had been with for a long time had been released by them, and they immediately cursed themselves for doing a stupid thing!

"Why did I do such a thing yesterday?"

"Lillipup is an important partner that Grandpa helped me catch!"

"The days of meeting Woobat in the sewer..."

Along with those who faintly sensed something was wrong yesterday but didn't know where the problem was, sitting on benches in parks or alleys and depressed, they also figured it out at once.

"Hateful Plasma Society! Don't let me see them again, otherwise I'll beat them every time I see them!"

After someone reacted, they directly burst out Unova profanity, feeling inexplicable about the state of being brainwashed yesterday, and extremely angry, expressing 100% support for Xiang Guangtai's actions!

According to the current atmosphere in Castelia City, when the Plasma Society comes over a year and a half later and officially starts grabbing, I'm afraid Castelia City will stage a grand event of "all people chasing the Plasma Society".

"Making the Plasma Society hated by people and dogs in Castelia City can also be considered an important step in repairing the relationship between humans and Pokémon; at least these people who found their Pokémon back will never easily believe the Plasma Society's speeches again."

Of course, there are also people like in the Special Chapter who "capture Pokémon casually and don't care about releasing them".

A young man dressed quite brightly and with a good temperament waved his hand casually:

"That Pokémon is just something I caught casually because I saw others had it; I think the Plasma Society's speech also makes some sense, so you don't need to come to me."

"Speaking of which, you were actually able to find my house through the Pokémon's description! Hey, hey, isn't this a very serious matter? Private stalking or something, I always feel it's very scary!"

"So you are a psychic! You'd better use your psychic power to train your Pokémon!"

"What are you doing, are you angry? If you dare to use psychic power to hit me, I will call the police!"

Facing such a person, Xiang Guangtai was a bit unhappy and just about to do something, but Riolu was already very angry!

The little blue puppy jumped up and used Metal Claw, knocking the opponent down on the spot!

As a result, it provoked the young man to be furious, claiming he would call the police; to calm this matter down, Xiang Guangtai hurriedly used a Mind Impact on him.

Just right!

The impact of mental purification made the negative emotions in his mind disappear and shatter, followed by—

"Spore!"

This time when going out to cope with emergencies, Xiang Guangtai brought an extra Pokémon, and that was the most reliable Amoonguss!

As one of the six Pokémon taken from inside the Plasma Society by the Pokémon trainer at the time, Amoonguss's strength was quite good, and it knew all the moves it should know, so after the Mind Impact, following up with a Spore could make the opponent fall into a sleep like a baby.

"It's really reliable!"

"Guss!" Amoonguss also raised its arm.

When I turn my back to you, you will definitely know how reassuring my back is!

This is the confidence given to me by sleeping on the left and then on the right!

Xiang Guangtai hugged Riolu, and Amoonguss hopped away from the crime scene.

"Don't attack suddenly like this next time; if you were still a wild Pokémon, of course, no one would pursue your problem, but now that you are my Pokémon, don't do it on the spot when you encounter such bad things."

"Awoo." Riolu's ears drooped.

It just felt that the person's attitude towards Pokémon was really disgusting.

However, having trained for so long and seen many humans, in fact, such people also exist; I had already learned about it, but I would still be unhappy when I truly saw it.

"Everyone's ideas are different, we can't control other people's thoughts; if we did that, we would be no different from those villain organizations. Precisely because of the differences, there will be collisions of different ideas, and stories of different people and Pokémon."

"Bad things will also happen, because this is the world."

"Awoo (I know.)" The blue puppy nodded in disappointment.

"But then again." Xiang Guangtai patted Riolu's head, his tone changing to approval:

"That claw hit was actually not bad! But anyway, since you hit him, you shouldn't have used Metal Claw just now."

"You should have used Close Combat."

"Awoo!" Riolu became happy.

Ah, so that's what it meant!

Completely understood!

"If it weren't for the fact that I was just given a medal two days ago and made the news, I would have punished him a bit."

"Check if there are surveillance cameras around before doing it next time."

"However, that person will probably become a little better than he is now in the future; I have already shattered the negative emotions in his heart, at least for the next few days he will probably start to reflect."

But whether he will continue to go astray in the future is unknown; that is a personal choice, and mental purification is not brainwashing.

Speaking of which, this mental purification move really needs to be practiced; let's practice and strengthen it according to the training method taught by the Elite Four Will before. If it really becomes a complete version of Mind Impact in the future, it will be able to completely shatter other people's dark sides.

This wave is a tribute to the Pharaoh.

And in front of Xiang Guangtai, Riolu's tail lifted up happily, shaking left and right.

Hmm, this is not disturbing the peace!

It's just venting anger!

However, there is no need for the trainer to handle it; as long as I, as a Pokémon, do it, it doesn't matter!

And it turns out the trainer also has this side, does he still have a temper!

It's just that being a human is really inconvenient; if others haven't broken the law, you can only condemn them morally, and if you misuse psychic power, you will be reported to the police! Looking at it this way, it's better to be a Pokémon!

"There aren't many left, by the way, your trainer is not in Castelia City."

Xiang Guangtai looked at Amoonguss again; these six were obtained from elite trainers of the Plasma Society, and they were clearly brought here from other cities.

Although the message sent by Nurse Joy indicated that she had also contacted other Pokémon Centers and asked her sisters to pay more attention, some trainers might not be able to find them back by themselves, because in the process of these six being released, it is uncertain whether that Beheeyem completed the memory overwrite.

So far, among the trainers of these six Pokémon, three trainers have contacted the Pokémon Center; the first two came from Driftveil City and Nimbasa City, corresponding to Gigalith and Zebstrika.

These two Pokémon also didn't expect to see their owners again, and they seemed very happy during the communication with Nari.

Gigalith's owner is a worker hired by Clay, and Zebstrika's trainer is a rich young master who serves as a Gym Trainer in Elesa's Gym in Nimbasa City.

As for the reason why they were separated from their Pokémon, it's hard to say, it's not all because of the speech problem.

The third one is a lady who works at the Pokémon Center; it is said that her hometown is Aspertia City, and she is currently working in Humilau City, but unlike the other two, the Unfezant she came to find belongs to her friend, not herself, and this Unfezant was clearly "snatched"!

However, the Plasma Society's cutting speed for snatching members is very fast, so they only caught the snatcher but couldn't judge the other Plasma Society members; it is said that such things happened more than once in Aspertia City a year or two ago.

Because Aspertia City is a city in the west of Unova, far from the main center of Unova, so even if there is a situation of Pokémon snatching, there is no way to stop it...

"There are three more, hmm, Deerling is from Mistralton City, Fraxure is from Opelucid City, Amoonguss is..."

"Guss!" Amoonguss recalled the history of the past, and a sharp look radiated from the corner of its eyes!

Amoonguss's eyes became sharp; that was its youth that had not yet passed.

The one who moved forward with me was a Pokémon Ranger; it is said that he came from another region full of "Rangers", but I don't know the more specific past. In short, he is a very good person who came to Unova to protect the environment.

At that time, I and my former trainer slept on the left and then on the right on the side of the road in the big forest, and with Regenerator, it was so happy!

"... Your trainer wouldn't have thought you were too dirty, so he abandoned you and decided to turn over a new leaf and be a good person, right!"
