Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 347: The Way of Survival, Lessons from Nature

"Wow! It's a spinytail!"

“It’s a mushroom!”

"There's actually a lazy old man here!"

"I don't even know which Pokémon to capture! Because I like every one of them here!"

Xiaoyao walked in front and chattered non-stop.

Looking here and there, he is a really curious baby.

In comparison, Xiaoyou seemed much more quiet. When he encountered a plant or Pokémon that interested him, he would just stop and observe from a distance for a while.

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to tell Mr. Chisato and Dr. Odamaki that you wanted to travel with these two children for a while."

Bai Ruoruo said with a smile as she walked beside Nan Fang.

"It's mainly because they're afraid of getting bored~ Besides, their first destination is also Kanaz City, so they can take care of each other on the way, so why not~"

After the battle between Bai Ruoruo and Xiaoyao, Nan Fang took the initiative to invite Qianli and Xiao Tianjuan, saying that he wanted to travel with the two little ones for a while. On the one hand, it was indeed because with two happy people, the journey would definitely be more interesting. On the other hand, Nan Fang mainly wanted to repay Mr. Qianli for taking care of Bai Ruoruo.

Qianli had already broken his own principles and made an exception to fight with Bai Ruoruo. Not to mention that he took the initiative to let Xiaoyao and Bai Ruoruo continue to compete, helping Bai Ruoruo regain her faith.

Nan Fang later saw the two parents' concerns about their children, so he just went along with it, and considered it as returning a favor.

"But then again, the two of them remind me of that kid Xiao Rui."

"I wonder how strong that kid is now~"

"Wow!"

Suddenly, Xiaoyao, who was walking in front, screamed and fell to the ground in fright.

Xiaoyou, Nanfang and Bai Ruoruo immediately quickened their pace.

"How is it? Are you hurt? "

Bai Ruoruo anxiously stepped forward to support Xiaoyao and asked.

"Sister Ruoruo...you...look ahead..."

Xiaoyao raised his arm tremblingly and pointed behind the bushes not far away.

"There... there seems to be a wounded Pokémon... it looks so scary... wuwuwu..."

Xiaoyao was so scared that she started crying and turned around to hug Bai Ruoruo.

Nan Fang was wondering what kind of Pokémon could scare her like this.

After making sure that Xiaoyao was just a little frightened, Nan Fang slowly walked towards the bushes in front.

He pulled aside the branches and saw a black snake about two meters long lying there weakly with its eyes closed.

Its lower jaw was golden, its head and back were covered with golden armor, and its abdomen had six small golden buttons. Its two sharp red fangs were almost reaching its abdomen, and its red and black tail, like a blade, was constantly flashing a cold light.

"Is it a rice spoon snake?"

Xiaoyou, who was following behind Nanfang, spoke up.

Children of PhDs are well-informed.

"You are not afraid?"

"It's okay, but I go out into the wild with my dad more often, so I've seen more."

"But... the injury on this spoon snake seems a little too serious..."

Nan Fang followed Xiao You's gaze.

There was a horrible scar on the body of the rice spoon snake. The flesh and blood were turned inside out, and a mixture of red and purple liquid was constantly flowing out of the wound.

"Wait a moment."

Nan Fang stopped Xiao You who wanted to get closer to Fansao Snake.

"It's poisonous there, don't get close for now."

"More importantly, if you approach rashly, you will most likely be attacked by some creature."

"Creatures? Pokémon?"

Before Nan Fang could reply, suddenly, a white figure flashed past their eyes and landed lightly between Fanshao Snake and the two of them.

A large cat-like Pokémon with a white body and several red lightning patterns appeared in front of everyone.

It first turned its head, and its blood-red, fierce and sharp eyes swept coldly over Nan Fang and Xiao You, and then looked at the rice spoon snake lying motionless on the ground.

"It's actually Mongoose Slash!"

Xiaoyou's eyes widened.

It was the first time he saw a meerkat living in the wild.

Different from those Meerkat Slash that were tamed by trainers, this Meerkat Slash looked more wild, with a faint bloodthirsty aura all over his body.

Its front paws have two longer black claws and a red finger, and the tip of its tail is divided into three parts, making it look a little larger than that of an ordinary mongoose.

The meerkat's hair stood up all over its body. It stood on its legs and immediately assumed an attacking posture towards the rice spoon snake in front of it.

"Legend has it that Mongoose Slash and Rice Spoon Snake are eternal enemies!"

"Since their ancient ancestors, whenever the two sides meet, it is bound to be a life-and-death battle. And this memory has been engraved in each other's cells and can never be erased."

"Now it seems that this is indeed the case..."

Xiaoyou recounted the entanglement between them in detail, and stood there pretending to be calm.

Nan Fang turned sideways, intentionally protecting Xiao You behind him.

"We have no way to participate in this and can only stand here and watch from afar, no matter what the outcome is."

Nan Fang said rather coldly.

Xiaoyou looked up to the south in surprise without saying anything, and then looked at the field again.

"ha!!!"

Mongoose Slash first growled at the rice spoon snake, and then immediately pounced on the prey in front of him.

In an instant, the spoon snake suddenly opened its eyes, and at the moment when the Mongoose Slash was about to pounce on it, it immediately swung its long blade tail, which was covered with purple cold light, and stabbed Mongoose Slash's back fiercely.

Poison Tail!

The rice spoon snake seemed to have calculated the sudden attack of the mongoose slash, and the timing of the poisonous tail was just right. If the mongoose slash did not dodge in time, the sharp tip of the knife would definitely pierce it through the heart.

This made Nan Fang feel that the previous weakness of the rice spoon snake seemed to be deliberately pretended in order to lure the appearance of the mongoose.

that's the truth.

The rice spoon snake that roams the entire Orange Forest has long been extremely displeased with the mongoose Zhan, who is also a dominant force.

They have a certain understanding of each other's strength and character.

The two fought several times, with both sides winning and losing.

But it is still quite difficult to kill the opponent completely.

One day, while foraging, the meerkat smelled a familiar but unpleasant smell from a distance, and then found the rice spoon snake resting in a cave.

Without saying a word, Mongoose Zhan immediately followed the direction to find his "old friend".

The rice spoon snake is not a vegetarian either. When the mongoose sword just approached, it also discovered it.

Thus, a fateful battle began.

They were filled with anger towards each other and were determined to completely eliminate each other this time.

This time, due to a mistake, the snake was almost cut through the belly by the mongoose and was seriously injured.

However, Spoon Snake is also a ruthless character.

He planned to use this injury to lure the enemy deeper into his territory.

Things went just as expected.

But how could the experienced Mongoose Slash do as it wished?

The Mongoose Zhan used the force to roll in the air and narrowly avoided the attack from the poisonous tail.

The snake took advantage of the situation and gave chase, opening its bloody mouth and trying to cut the mongoose in half.

Mongoose Zhan was not afraid at all. He actually stretched out his left hand and directly met the fangs of the rice spoon snake.

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered.

Ignoring the pain, Mongoose Slash gathered strength in his right hand, turned around and used his claws to strike directly at the head of the rice spoon snake.

Tearing Claws!

The spoon snake felt a little dizzy, but it still didn't let go. It bit Mongoose Slash's left arm even tighter, mobilizing the poison in its body and injecting it into Mongoose Slash's body like crazy.

As the saying goes, 'Strike him while he's ill.'

"To kill a snake, you must hit it at its weakest point. To capture a thief, you must first capture the leader."

Mongoose Zhan knew this truth very well.

Its right claw flashed a dark light.

Secret attack on key points!

The Mongoose Slash hit the target right away, striking the rice spoon snake's abdomen, right around its heart, with one claw after another.

Even though it was already bloody and mangled, the spoon snake still refused to let go.

It is gambling that whoever kills the other first will be the final winner.

"This spoon snake is about to end."

Nan Fang said from the side.

Xiaoyou looked at Nanfang with some confusion.

The two ladies behind him, after seeing such a bloody scene, had already retreated to a safe place and didn't want to see it again.

"The characteristic of this Mongoose Slash should be immunity."

"Otherwise, under such a huge amount of poison, Mongoose Slash would have died long ago."

"The rice spoon snake shouldn't be unaware of this."

"Perhaps, this is just its last unwillingness and struggle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the rice spoon snake, which was originally tightly entangled with the mongoose, gradually lost strength, and finally collapsed and slid to the ground.

Its eyes gradually lost their color and became dull.

The huge mouth that was biting the Mongoose's left arm slowly loosened its grip and fell down weakly.

This fateful duel was ultimately decided in this life-and-death situation.

Mongoose Zhan licked the wound on his arm and glanced at Nan Fang and Xiao You who were standing beside him.

With the attitude of a winner, he dragged the corpse of the rice spoon snake and disappeared from the sight of the two people.

"What will happen to that spoon snake?"

Xiaoyou's voice trembled a little.

"Maybe, there will be no remains left."

The South didn’t shy away from it.

This is a lesson that these rookie trainers must go through.

Nan Fang was not a cold-hearted person. As a half-doctor, he had seen countless such scenes.

Pokémon are also living beings, they have their own destiny and destination.
