Chapter 1261

As if to echo Su Hao's address, led by the Beedrill leader, the Beedrill waved their twin needles, as if greeting Li Xiao and the others.

While greeting, the Beedrill leader shook its head helplessly in its heart.

If it weren't for Su Hao's sake, it would have poked everyone on the opposite side at least once.

Li Xiao and Lin Ke's Pokémon, which were ready for battle, stood blankly on the spot like deflated balloons. They didn't feel a trace of hostility from the Beedrill, not to mention that they still knew Su Hao.

Li Xiao was stunned for a long while before he said with a look of astonishment: "I didn't expect you to... be here."

In Li Xiao's impression, Su Hao had previously stood on the peak stage of world youth and fought for the Shenzhou Alliance, and also showed a terrifying Mega Evolution, allowing that Lucario to display Elite-level strength for a short time.

But Li Xiao knew very well that Su Hao's true trump card would always be that Diancie.

Although it was sad, he had to admit that Su Hao had long surpassed him. He was still worrying about the time for Volcarona to break through to the Gym-tier, while Su Hao was already aiming for the Elite-tier.

He was undoubtedly shocked by Su Hao's sudden appearance.

Su Hao nodded slightly and said: "I'm strolling in the Viridian Forest. The Beedrill are protecting my safety. There is no hostility, so don't worry."

"Instead, what are you and Lin Ke doing... Are they also students of Jiangcheng University?"

Su Hao's gaze turned to behind Li Xiao and the others, with a questioning look.

Lin Ke reacted quickly, showing a gentle smile, and turned to the side: "They are freshmen from the Exploration Department who just enrolled this year. The school's task is set on the outskirts of this Viridian Forest. We are considered... insurance responsible for their safety."

Li Xiao also reacted and nodded repeatedly.

Su Hao blinked and asked a rather tricky question: "Since there are freshmen, am I a sophomore? Am I their senior?"

Li Xiao and Lin Ke were shocked for a moment by Su Hao's strange train of thought. Was this the time to worry about this?

Li Xiao almost couldn't hold it, the corners of his mouth twitched and he said: "Uh, in fact, they are considered to be participating in interest classes before school starts. After a while, they, and we, can be considered official freshmen, sophomores, and seniors. It's just that we have entered the identity in advance."

Su Hao nodded with realization: "Oh, that's fine. Where do you plan to go? I and the Beedrill can escort you for a ride."

It wasn't that Su Hao didn't trust Li Xiao's combat power. Su Hao knew very well that his school team teammate was very strong.

But the land they were standing on now was this Viridian Forest. Even within his Aura detection range, there were quite a few powerful wild Pokémon that were very tricky for Li Xiao to deal with.

According to Su Hao's impression just now, the Pokémon Li Xiao released obviously hadn't had much of a breakthrough. Li Xiao might be able to win, but he absolutely couldn't deal with those wild Pokémon while protecting all the freshman rookies.

Anyway, he was still a student of Jiangcheng University in name, so Su Hao didn't mind helping them. It was just a small effort.

Li Xiao replied: "Ah? We plan to collect some Oran Berries that grow in the Viridian Forest. You also know that there is a subtle difference between wild Oran Berries and artificially planted ones. After collecting suitable samples, they will be delivered to the teachers of the Research Department and become research topics for freshman students in the Research Department."

"Looking for Oran Berries?" Su Hao silently digested the information in Li Xiao's words, quickly found the key point, and his eyes lit up: "That's just right, I also plan to go to a place with quite a few berry trees that is also very safe. The Oran Berry trees you want should also be distributed there!"

The news Su Hao brought was undoubtedly an unexpected joy for Li Xiao and the others. For them, they could not only go to a safe location to collect berries, but also have the addition of strong combat power like Su Hao and the Beedrill colony.

They were too happy to be happy, so how could they refuse?

So, Su Hao was led by Li Xiao to a group of freshman students who had confirmed his identity and had stars in their eyes.

Among them, there were many who chose Jiangcheng University because of Su Hao's reputation.

Seeing their idol and confirming that the Beedrill colony was completely harmless, they

had that restless heart quietly emerge again.

The main performance was that they started to ask many questions they were curious about, surrounding Su Hao.

For example, what Su Hao planned to do after winning the National Youth Tournament, whether he had become a Gym-tier Trainer now, and whether Mega Evolution was really discovered by their mother and son.

Just when Su Hao was dealing with these freshmen who had no malice and whose train of thought was relatively clear, Li Xiao leaned toward his girlfriend and whispered: "Ke... do you believe that although that guy looks calm now, he is actually secretly refreshed because of the compliments of the freshmen?"

Lin Ke, who was paying attention to the situation around her, was stunned. She carefully cast her gaze toward Su Hao and whispered: "Li Xiao, is it not good for us to do this..."

Li Xiao curled his lips. He had just wanted to say that he and Su Hao were once comrades on the same boat, so what was wrong with saying a few bad things about him quietly?

As a result, Su Hao, who had been chatting with the freshmen calmly, suddenly turned his head and showed a gentle smile to Li Xiao, who was already feeling guilty. Li Xiao felt his hair stand on end for no reason.

He... seemed to have forgotten something?

The next moment, Li Xiao's premonition came true. Su Hao's calm voice sounded in his mind: "Don't forget, besides the Viridian Force, my Aura is also very strong."

"After arriving at the destination, shouldn't we two teammates who haven't seen each other for a long time perform for the freshmen, for example... spar a bit?"

Li Xiao was instantly numb and said to his girlfriend in horror: "What should I do, baby? He heard what I said!"

Lin Ke rolled her eyes at him and complained: "Who told you not to have a gate on your mouth?"

"Don't, I finally established an image. If I am exploded by Su Hao, I will lose face."

Li Xiao looked sad and hugged Lin Ke's arm, shaking it. People who didn't know would think he was the girlfriend's side.

Su Hao admitted that his eyes were stung by Li Xiao and he didn't want to talk anymore, so he focused on leading the way in front.

After walking for about two hours, Li Xiao, who had finally returned to normal, looked behind him with lingering fear and said in shock: "Damn, there was actually a Gym-tier Drapion in that position. If we really fought it, we probably wouldn't be able to take care of the freshmen."

God knows that Drapion was so insidious, hiding in a dense grass without even showing its head. If Su Hao hadn't discovered it in advance, they would have been uncomfortable if they had an encounter battle.

That group of Beedrill was also really fierce, and they beat that Drapion away in two or three moves. Is this the power of the collective?

Terrifying!

Li Xiao didn't expect that after a few months, he would enjoy the treatment of lying down and winning again.

This made him look forward to the very safe berry forest Su Hao mentioned even more.

But the deeper they went into the forest, the more Li Xiao felt that the surrounding environment had a sense of familiarity, and the more he wanted to complain.

Along the way, they encountered many wild Pokémon. Most of those wild Pokémon held vigilant or hostile emotions toward them, but they were inexplicably very close to Su Hao, and even willing to let them go for Su Hao's sake.

Several times Li Xiao felt that the gazes of those wild Pokémon were about to poke a few holes in him, but they snorted coldly and let them go because of Su Hao.
