Chapter 313: Thanks for the invite, I'm in America

Smith was able to notice the black shadow in the sky during the pouring rain in advance, thanks to a red and cyan-blue color that was very conspicuous in the dark night, which made him react.

Smith's muscles were tense, and he threw Ophelia away. The two fell into a puddle with standing water.

"Woof woof woof!"

The two Manectric reacted immediately, guarding in front of the two, baring their teeth and threatening the sky.

After a while, suddenly feeling a chill on his back, Smith thought it should have been scratched by those giant claws.

But now was not the time to feel uncomfortable. Lying in the puddle, Smith ordered with a trembling voice: "Use Thunderbolt on that thing!"

"Woof-woo—!"

From the manes of the two Manectric, golden thunder attacked the huge black shadow in the sky with great momentum.

Although the black shadow was trying its best to avoid it, whether it was the gap in strength or some other reason, it was still grazed on the wing by the lightning net created by the two Manectric together.

A painful sound came from the beak of the black shadow. The black shadow's injured right wing could hardly maintain its balance and could only stumble and fly away into the distance.

At this time, Smith had time to look at the top of his head, only to see a mysterious bird Pokémon that he roughly estimated to have a wingspan of six meters stumbling and flying away into the distance.

"That is... what Pokémon?" Ophelia's trembling voice sounded.

She had never seen such a huge bird Pokémon...

"Hiss... I don't know, but it's good that you're okay, Miss."

Smith endured the tearing sensation on his back, stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and then pulled Ophelia up.

Ophelia stood up in a disheveled manner, her expression a bit self-blaming.

Her night vision was relatively good. The moment Smith stood up, she saw the shocking scratch on Smith's back.

Smith was more than ten years older than her. Although he was a subordinate specially trained by the family to protect their direct descendants or illegitimate children who had inheritance qualifications, Ophelia had known Smith for so many years, and she was relatively satisfied with Smith, this subordinate.

This time it was entirely because her reaction as a Professional-level trainer was not fast enough, which caused Smith to be injured to protect her.

She also knew that it was very bad for her to have such indecisive emotions in a big family, but seeing an acquaintance injured, she would still be a bit unhappy.

But in the pitch-black environment, Smith couldn't see Ophelia's expression clearly. He didn't know at all that he had been exposed, and pretended to be okay: "It seems to be a bit grazed, can I go and treat the wound?"

Ophelia lowered her eyes and said: "Okay, you go and treat it first."

Smith quietly took out the disinfectant and bandages prepared in advance from his backpack for emergency bandaging, and then the two walked toward the Electric Canyon again.

Ophelia really wanted to say stop and rest for a while, but the rain would only accelerate wound infection, and they needed to find a place to hide from the rain.

It just so happened that in the direction they were moving, the trees would be much denser than here.

When the two were in front of the dense forest, Ophelia subconsciously turned her head and suddenly discovered a strange stone house.

The pouring rain poured on the stone house, making a pitter-patter sound, and thunder flashed across the sky from time to time.

In the forest without people, where the Pokémon in the forest ran back to their nests to hide, the abstract-looking stone house was so eerie.

However, no matter whether it was a vampire, a werewolf, or some crow man inside, Ophelia felt that she still had to explore it. Smith's lips behind her had turned pale. This was not a way to go on.

It just so happened that this was a trip that should be completed in a day or two, so she didn't bring the healing Pokémon configured by the family.

Swallowing her saliva, Ophelia tidied up her appearance slightly and knocked on the door of the stone house with the knocking rhythm taught in etiquette class.

"Who are you?"

Su Hao's expression was very confused. Isn't this a secret realm? How did two miserable foreigners suddenly run out?

"Ka-roar?"

Incineroar's big face squeezed out, because this was a stone door made by Diancie considering only one person entering and exiting, so it was a bit crowded.

"Not a female ghost in red? Then it's fine... disperse, disperse!" Incineroar disappointedly retracted his big face.

After cheering herself up, Ophelia said to the boy who opened the door: "Um, hello, we are from the Carlisle family in the nearby Washington D. C. My name is Ophelia Carlisle. We were attacked by wild Pokémon on our way to the Electric Canyon."

"My companion has suffered relatively serious injuries. Can we hide from the rain here for a while?"

Ophelia's tone was very sincere. She understood that asking for help requires an attitude of asking for help. She had always felt that the high-and-mighty command tone was easy to flip.

Although the handsome Chinese young man appearing here was a bit strange, she couldn't care about these details.

"Your companion is this uncle?"

Su Hao poked his head out and looked at the pale-faced uncle in his thirties behind her. It looked like he was indeed injured.

"We will also pay for the reward. Please help!"

Seeing Su Hao's expression was a bit tangled, Ophelia thought Su Hao was tangled because of the reward, and immediately added. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
