Chapter 825: Rat Actor

Are the rats going to be tossed around again?

All Baimu couldn't help but think of that Totem Alolan Raticate that used to have a very bad temper, but later became lazy all day long, with a "if you have the ability, bite me to death" attitude.

Tsk tsk.

Being a Totem Pokémon is really not easy.

In the picture.

Bad Boy and Alolan Persian received the test mission from Kahuna Hala and hurried away from Iki Town.

【You come to the field to investigate the disaster situation.】

In the pixelated field, a large number of large pineapples were gnawed to pieces, and there were few intact ones, which was regrettable.

The old man, suspected to be the farm owner, stood on a high place and cursed.

Bad Boy's head also popped up with an angry expression from time to time.

Before, to join Team Skull, he had destroyed a lot of farmland, and later, to make up for it, he helped with farm work everywhere, deeply realizing the difficulty and hardship of farming, and cherished food even more.

The behavior of Raticate and Rattata destroying crops really made him unable to stand it.

Bad Boy sent out all his Pokémon to help the farm owner clean up the messy farmland, but the more he cleaned, the angrier he got.

Because Raticate and Rattata often only took a bite or two and didn't eat anymore.

Too wasteful!

【After getting the farm owner's consent, you send out the long-awaited Grimer, letting it eat all the rotten pineapples.】

Alolan Grimer, like ordinary Grimer, is not picky about food, and they are also frequent visitors to various landfills in the Alola region, so giving the rotten pineapples to them is just right.

There was even an unexpected surprise!

【Your Grimer evolved into Muk.】

The colorful Alolan Muk was born, but unlike its Kanto fellow, Alolan Muk didn't have a pungent smell; instead, it had toxin crystals that looked like teeth and claws.

The evolution of the second partner gave Bad Boy great confidence.

【You decide to teach these guys a lesson.】

Unlike the indignant simulation subject.

All Baimu, across the screen, had a strange expression.

He remembered that Ash found a way to solve the source of the rat infestation, and it was also this group of guys rushing into the field and gnawing the pineapples into a mess.

As a result, it was Bad Boy's side again.

Planted every year, gnawed every year.

Are these pineapples of yours specially planted for the Raticate?

The full stomach of complaints was ultimately swallowed by All Baimu. If it was really like this, it wasn't impossible to understand.

Hala had been Kahuna for decades and didn't know how many Island Challenge challengers he had set tests for; even if he had more creativity, it would have been dug out long ago.

The test of managing rat infestation was indeed a bit rigid and dogmatic, but it was indeed a link that humans living in the natural world had to encounter.

Anyway, Tapu Koko had no opinion.

All Baimu changed his posture on the sofa, and Bad Boy, hiding in the bushes, also changed his posture.

【You silently wait for the rat group to arrive.】

Unlike the apothecary who went straight to the lair to launch a cruel "massacre," Bad Boy, who was committed to becoming a police officer, was better at waiting for the rabbit.

This point was very consistent with Detective Gumshoos, who had the 【Stakeout】 ability.

Unfortunately, Bad Boy already had Persian.

Suddenly.

The whole picture shook, and in Bad Boy's shocked gaze, the dense rat group flooded another piece of farmland that had escaped the previous time.

【You hurry out with your Pokémon.】

Bad Boy was ultimately a bit young and underestimated the scale of the rat infestation.

Facing such a large group of Raticate and Rattata, he, who had three Pokémon, still couldn't do it and was teased by them.

Fortunately, Bad Boy could use his brain, keenly noticing the leading rat among them, adopting the strategy of catching the big one and letting the small ones go, and attacking fiercely, taking it down with lightning speed.

【You captured Raticate, and the partner serving the residents has increased.】

The rat group immediately scattered.

Bad Boy captured Raticate after careful consideration. He knew he couldn't solve so many Raticate and Rattata alone, so he decided to infiltrate the enemy's interior.

【You intend to use Raticate's power to persuade the rat group to leave the farmland and the city.】

Bad Boy released his newly captured partner.

Raticate was originally unwilling to cooperate, even if it was already a "prisoner," but the unkind look from Persian drove it to betray its former partners.

It was clear that even without the food chain, cats still had a bloodline suppression on mice...

Meowth and Pikachu don't count.

Led by Raticate, Bad Boy ultimately came to the Totem Raticate's residence, and the appearance of the latter was no different from giving him a blow to the head.

【You didn't expect to see a Totem Pokémon here.】

Totem Raticate's temper was still as bad as ever, and it started fighting Bad Boy without a word.

The negotiation skills Bad Boy learned from Nanu didn't come in handy at all. Seeing that Totem Raticate even hit its former little brothers, he attacked seriously.

Persian fought Totem Raticate, while Sneasel and Muk resisted the rat group coming from all directions.

Bad Boy didn't have the means of the apothecary who could be called a demolition ghost; he could only adopt the old method—

Catch the thief first, catch the king!

And in Persian's view, no matter how big the mouse was, it was still a mouse.

Relying on the opponent's 【Fur Coat】 ability to halve physical damage, Persian fought Totem Raticate in close quarters very bravely.

Don't look at its big face, but its body was slim and well-proportioned, presenting a beautiful streamlined shape, and its movements were as agile as its appearance.

Compared with it, Totem Raticate was simply like a meat mountain that was hard to move.

When Persian repelled Totem Raticate with Play Rough, Bad Boy saw the timing was just right and immediately used the Z-Move 【Black Hole Eclipse】.

In the game, it only affected a single target, but in actual use, it wasn't like that.

Bad Boy was surprised to find that many Raticate and Rattata that were relatively close to the Z-Move were also affected.

Finally.

Totem Raticate was no match for Dark Z and obediently softened, not only offering Normal Z but also agreeing to restrain Raticate and Rattata.

【You didn't expect the matter to be solved so smoothly.】

"... Actor, huh."

All Baimu shook his head. Logically speaking, the one-thing-subdues-another technique Ash adopted was the right path.

But in the Pokémon world, using strength to suppress opponents is also one of the ways to achieve the goal.

In the picture.

Bad Boy looked at Raticate. The latter, who should have been a great hero, only became a guide in the end, which made it look very awkward.

【After hesitating again and again, you left Raticate behind.】

Although he hadn't cultivated feelings yet, if he asked Raticate whether it was willing to go with him or return to the group, it would most likely choose the latter.

But Bad Boy upheld the principle of not letting go of Dark-type Pokémon and left the fourth member behind.

【You returned to Iki Town and asked Kahuna Hala if you had really passed the test.】

The Kahuna told him to go see for himself.

Afterward, Bad Boy obediently waited for a few days in various farmlands and cities, and indeed didn't see the rat group raging again. Totem Raticate kept its word very well.

The big test of Melemele Island officially began.

Because the team was unified in Dark-type, Bad Boy inevitably fell into a disadvantage in front of Hala, who was good at Fighting-type.

But it was by no means without the power to fight back.

Persian's Fur Coat ability and Muk's Acid Armor were the confidence to deal with Fighting-type Pokémon that were good at close-range physical attacks.

And sometimes, exploding seeds also seemed so relaxed and comfortable.

Muk, who was pressed to the ground by Hariyama and beaten with a combo, exploded in Bad Boy's shouting, entangled its head like plasticine, and gnawed fiercely with Poison Fang.

Hala didn't even have time to find a chance to use Fighting Z, and Hariyama had already been poisoned by the poison.

Forcing him to upgrade from two-on-two to three-on-three.

【Limit Break】 is terrifying!

"Hala... I'm afraid he has some obsession with Z-Moves."

All Baimu picked up the potato chips on the coffee table and threw them into his mouth, crunching and chewing.

Team Skull saying the Island Challenge is old is really not without reason. To show Fighting Z, Hala forced a overtime game.

He got what he wanted.

As a result, there was no big change.

Sneasel might not have other specialties, but in terms of speed, it was definitely the number one under Bad Boy. All those energy palms of 【All-Out Pummeling】 were dodged by it.

【You hear Hala's praise for Sneasel and deeply agree.】

If he hadn't learned so much tracking knowledge at the beginning, Bad Boy really might not have been able to catch Sneasel.

【You successfully passed the Melemele Island big test and obtained Fighting Z.】

The second island ended.

Bad Boy returned to Ula'ula Island. He prepared to ask Nanu to help him strengthen his special training again. The battle with Hala exposed many problems.

【You think you can become stronger.】

It's just that unlike the positive Bad Boy, Nanu seemed a bit listless.

No way.

Team Skull, which caused mischief everywhere, was already the biggest evil force in the Alola region. After Nanu planned for a long time and took them down in one fell swoop, he found that there was nothing to do?

Not to mention heinous criminals, he couldn't even find a petty thief.

The security of Ula'ula Island was so good that there was no room for him to take action, leaving only some trivial matters.

Nanu was so idle that he was almost useless.

【You cautiously express that you can take the initiative to do good deeds and help everyone, but you are ignored by Nanu.】

"Haha!"

All Baimu laughed.

This Nanu is the right taste!

However, for Bad Boy, this student, Nanu was still quite attentive, teaching him many new things and Pokémon battle knowledge.

【Your strength is constantly growing.】

——

Akala Island.

Bad Boy decided to carry out the third island of the Island Challenge.

"Olivia shouldn't have taken office yet?"

All Baimu pondered the timeline.

Nanu had only been Kahuna for a short time and was in his prime. Bad Boy's activity time might still be before the apothecary girl.

Five years? Ten years?

Both were possible.

He looked at Bad Boy, who was doing good deeds everywhere as usual, and was very surprised that Raticate could also find things that only it could do—

Checking the freshness of food.

Alolan Raticate doesn't touch anything but fresh fruits and high-quality ingredients, so it knows the freshness of ingredients just by smelling them.

Relying on Raticate's ability, Bad Boy helped a tourist who was almost cheated by a profiteer selling stale food.

【You received praise, which makes you very happy.】

Carrying this joy, Bad Boy came to Wela Volcano, where the Kahuna of Akala Island often appeared.

Halfway up the mountain.

He saw the Kahuna as he wished.

At the same time, as All Baimu expected, the Kahuna in Bad Boy's timeline was still Kiawe's grandfather. Although he had white hair, several streaks of fiery red hair were quite conspicuous.

【You bend down and ask the Kahuna to give you a test.】

Kiawe's grandfather looked serious but was actually quite kind. He helped Bad Boy up and gave a rather strange test.

【You hear the Kahuna say that a group of Alolan Marowak who love to dance live on Wela Volcano, and if you can learn their two dances, you pass.】

Learn to dance... with wild Pokémon?

Bad Boy was stunned.

All Baimu's mouth curled into a gloating smile. This test was somewhat similar to the game's test.

But in the game, it was to distinguish which Marowak was dancing differently. He didn't expect Kiawe's grandfather to directly let Bad Boy learn.

Very interesting!

【After thinking again and again, you walk towards the habitat of wild Marowak with determined steps.】

Alolan Marowak is undoubtedly a Fire and Ghost-type regional form, good at brandishing two bone clubs with flames on both sides, looking dangerous and mysterious.

Some Alolan people once called it a "magician."

【You feel their temper doesn't seem very good.】

After Bad Boy was chased by the third wild Marowak brandishing a flame bone club, he reached a conclusion that made him helpless.

He wanted to watch quietly and learn quietly.

Who would have thought that their senses were ridiculously sharp, always discovering his existence the first time, and then rushing up to smash him.

Bad Boy clearly hadn't developed All Baimu's good habit of striking first and then talking, and was chased for a whole day.

【You recall the events of the day before going to sleep, and after painful reflection, you resolve to work hard tomorrow.】

And then he was chased for another day.

Bad Boy squatted on a rock and doubted life. Beside him, Persian kept licking its fur. This fur, which was more precious than its life, was almost burned by Marowak.

Persian was a bit angry.

So.

When another Marowak chased it and Bad Boy, Persian decided not to run anymore.

It turned around and launched an attack directly.

Bad Boy wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

【You don't want to attack wild Pokémon that haven't committed mistakes, but the current situation shows that if you don't attack, the test will never be passed.】

"Pedantic."

All Baimu, known as the ghost-fearing wild Pokémon, was very disdainful.

Bad Boy's turning over a new leaf had become a bit extreme, completely becoming the incarnation of justice, even being wary of attacking wild Pokémon.

Where did Dark-type suit him?

Could it mean that Bad Boy was too upright, upright to the point of being evil?

And thanks to Persian's fierce pounce, Marowak finally realized that these few big fools who had been chased by it and its clansmen for two days had real stuff.

It decisively knelt down.

Bad Boy also successfully learned the first dance.

【You fall into silence.】

He discovered that he had taken advantage of Persian again, and Persian had been taking care of him from beginning to end.

【You decide to focus a bit and let go of some unnecessary principles.】

All Baimu raised his eyebrows, "Thinking it through so quickly?"

Also.

Bad Boy's thoughts had already undergone a major change once, and now it was normal for changes to occur in the details.

Persian is truly a qualified guide Pokémon.

All Baimu suddenly remembered that he once laughed at the fact that Trainers on Ula'ula Island had no starter Pokémon to lead and could only lead Meowth.

I didn't expect Meowth to be so useful.

Wronged you! ===== CHAPTER 826 =====
