Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 168: Unity is needed in times of crisis (15)

"Everyone, do you know about Pokémon Hunters? They are the ones who tried to invade this island."

The boy's voice clearly reached the ears of every wild Pokémon.

[Human, you can tell me what you think. 】

Natural Bird responded on behalf of the other Pokémon.

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obey. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lai. I come from a distant place. I am a traveler and a friend of the Lizard King."

The Lizard King took a step forward to protect Lai.

"I found many unusual things on this island. For example, obvious man-made objects, and Pokémon from various regions, such as you, the Demon Fire Red Fox."

As he spoke, Lai took out the metal pole that had been specially stored in four parts from his backpack and threw it into the air.The natural bird uses its superpower to levitate them and pass them to each Pokémon to watch.

"This kind of thing is not formed naturally. It is a mixture of many kinds of metals. There may not be one or two things like this on the island. As far as I know, every once in a while, there will be various Wild Pokémon drifted onto the island, some of them may have been hunted and preyed, and some of them have successfully integrated into the island. However, is it really easy to do all this on this island far out in the sea?"

After listening to Rai's words, the wild Pokémon were silent, especially the strongest Slow King, Nido King and Natural Bird. The oldest of them all had solemn expressions.

[There may be a human stronghold on the island not far away, but I felt a vague threat there, so I didn't go up to investigate. 】

The sound of natural birds came, and Lai nodded and continued:
"That's what I thought too. The island is too close. If nothing else, it is likely to be a stronghold of hunters. Since they retreated many years ago and have plans on the island, I think the prophecy of the natural bird will be consistent with that. This is related. You may not know that in human society, in addition to the power of Pokémon, there is also a power called technology. With the help of them, humans have the ability to make their Pokémon stronger, and there are also some methods To fight against powerful Pokémon.”

【So, what do you want to do?Please be more direct. 】

"What I want to do is very simple. Please put aside your conflicts with each other for the time being and prepare seriously for the battle in the near future, although I don't know when it will come. And I will do my best to help you, after all, here It is also the hometown of the Lizard King. At the same time, my lover and I deeply hate Pokémon hunters, and it is our unshirkable responsibility to destroy them."

Before the natural bird could speak, another telepathic message came:
[Human, I know what you mean.I will not pursue the issue of the Lizard King and my Water Stone. 】

He turned his head and saw King Dude nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your generosity. In exchange, I will repay you later."

Len smiled slightly and replied to it with the help of his heart.

Putting aside the life-and-death feud between these two Pokémon, the conflicts between the other Pokémon are not too big a problem. In the face of common events, although they have fierce and even tragic competition with each other, they must be let go.

Under the arrangement of the natural bird, several Pokémon stood together.

Looking at Lai and Lizard King, Natural Bird asked:
[This seems not enough.I see a future in which even if we are united, we will not be able to win. 】

Len nodded and looked around. Every Pokémon looked at him seriously.

"This is indeed not enough, so we need the second step, which is to get a head start."

······
In the next three days, the fierce competition for survival seemed to be temporarily suspended under the pressure. The entire island was strangely peaceful, but the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive, as if the air had solidified.

In the Lizard King's lair, the Lizard King, who was very satisfied with Len calling him his friend, but also worried about his proposed plan, sat silently under the tree.

In the cave, Naqi did not object to Lai's plan, which surprised Lai.

"I thought you were going to say 'It's too dangerous, I don't agree with it!'"

Gently brushing her drooping hair due to sweating, Na Qi raised her head and looked at Lai: "At first, I really wanted to say that. But I realized that you will not change in this kind of serious matter in your eyes." Your judgment, then I can only go crazy with you." "No, Naqi, I mean, you and Qixi Blue Bird."

Before he could finish speaking, Naqi's eyes and tone became sharp:

"Let us go first? Who do you think I am? From now on, no matter where you are, I will be there. In this case, don't say anything anymore."

Then, her expression softened again, she took two steps forward, held Lai's hand and said:
"We can always solve it, as long as we work together."

Lai knew that Naqi had also made up her mind, so he didn't say anything more and just held the girl's hand tightly.

······
Three days later, on the northwest side of the island.

Rai, Naqi, Lizard King and seven island overlords completed a hidden gathering in the woods. Not far away were more than twenty wild Pokémon who were also at the quasi-king level.

Lai, who had used the previous time to complete high-altitude reconnaissance on the Big-billed Gull, already had a preliminary understanding of the hunter strongholds on the distant islands, but their main structures were still underground, which cannot be penetrated by the power of the heart.

Looking at the natural bird, Rai made a request:
"Natural Bird, I hope you can lead the overlords of each region to conduct a frontal attack on the stronghold and contain the opponent's main force. Naqi, Lizard King, and I will go deep into the base and find ways to destroy it."

[Lai, I see your future. Although it is full of ups and downs, it is also full of light.We are willing to act according to your ideas. 】

The sound of natural birds is still as calm as ever.

On Lai's shoulder, a little guy suddenly appeared. It was the natural bird that he had a relationship with that day.

【I'll go as well. 】

The clear and sweet girl's voice entered Lai's mind.

[Lai, this is my daughter. She has the ability to teleport, which allows her to walk with you and evacuate a certain distance when encountering danger. 】

The sound of natural birds comes.

Lai nodded to the natural bird, then turned his head and looked at the natural bird on his shoulder.

"Please advise."

[Stupid guy, don’t hold me back! 】

This is still a little arrogant natural bird.

Lay was also unimpressed by its description.

"Then, let's ask the flying Pokémon on the island for help, and let's get ready to go."

With Lai's order, the silent jungle became lively, and various large flying-type Pokémon took off one after another, carrying powerful Pokémon that could neither fly nor swim.

On the sea, a dozen water-type Pokémon also set off one after another.

The target is pointed at the small island more than ten kilometers away.
