Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 478 Who is the Prey?

Yu Jin and Barbato's 'poisoning play' lasted until just after midnight.

After confirming that no sound could be heard, Nan Fang waited for another half an hour before sending out the Blue Flame Blade Ghost again.

With the small note written by Nan Fang, the dark purple figure of Cang Yan Ren Gui blended perfectly into the surrounding environment in the night. Sneaking past the gate of the tribe, Cang Yan Ren Gui came to the back of the shed with ease.

【Um! ? 】

Just as the Blue Blade Ghost was about to move in sideways, he heard Barbato's voice coming from outside the door again.

"The more I think about it, the angrier I get!"

"I have to have a good chat with you, old man!"

Nan Fang took off his headphones and lowered his head in silence for Yu Jin. He really couldn't bear to continue listening.

Just like that, after more than ten minutes of "friendly" communication, Barbato finally walked out of the shed with a refreshed look on his face.

"Old man, I advise you to control your mouth in the future, humph!"

The cautious Cang Yan Ren Gui waited for a long time to make sure that Barbato would not come back again, then he flashed and successfully entered the shed.

In the eyes of the tribesmen, Yu Jin was invited to Harizhen by Barbato, and because of the threat to the children's lives, Yu Jin would not escape easily, so there was no one else guarding outside the door of the shed.

"...who!"

Even though Yu Jin was covered in wounds, he was still vigilant.

Yu Jin was shocked when he saw that the person coming was the Blue Flame Blade Demon from the South.

"What...!? Oh, it seems like you are not an easy person to deal with..."

Yu Jin sighed, and took the note from Nan Fang with helplessness and relief.

"The old man suffered."

"Headphones are inconvenient. There are monitors in the room."

"Plan, cause of poisoning, I'll find a solution."

Yu Jin sighed softly again. He staggered to the door with his body hunched over. After seeing that the fire in Barbato's house next door had gone out, he turned back and hesitated for a moment.

He picked up the pen that Cang Yan Ren Gui brought with him and wrote a few words on the back of the note, then returned it to Cang Yan Ren Gui.

The tribe was silent at night, and Barbato's house was right next to his, so he couldn't tell Nan Fang the inside story directly.

Yu Jin hid the listening device that Cang Yan Ren Gui found for him in his own pocket, and then nodded to Cang Yan Ren Gui. Under Yu Jin's eyes, Cang Yan Ren Gui once again concealed his figure and slowly disappeared.

"came back?"

Looking at the note that returned to his hand again, Nan Fang couldn't help but sigh. It seems that Mr. Yu Jin is not in a good condition at this time...

I opened the note and saw only a few simple words written on it.

"Stinging jellyfish."

“It’s huge.”

"conquer the world."

"...".

Excuse me? I can still accept the giant stinging jellyfish. After all, the world is so big that there are all kinds of things. He just defeated a monster called Groudon not long ago. It is not too rare to have one or two special Pokémon.

But what the hell is conquering the world? Is the world so worthless now? How come everyone can have some ideas about it?

Nan Fang spat and complained about Barbato's arrogance in his heart while he was also planning his next plan.

In fact, from common sense, poisoning by stinging jellyfish often occurs in human daily life.

In the summer, there are countless seaside bathing beaches for tourists to enjoy. Before the bathing beaches are open, humans will use physical expulsion or sonic expulsion to clear the wild Pokémon within a few miles. After the peak season, humans will withdraw the so-called "safety line" and those wild Pokémon can return here again.

In fact, there are basically not many wild Pokémon that will actively attack humans. Most of them are still very close to humans. However, in order to prevent some unnecessary conflicts, this has become a necessary means agreed upon by everyone, so there will not be any vicious incidents between humans and wild Pokémon.

But inevitably there will be a few fish that slip through the net occasionally.

The "stinging jellyfish injury incident" also ranks first among the few vicious incidents.

In fact, the venom of stinging jellyfish can be a big or small problem for humans today.

Generally speaking, the toxins released by stinging jellyfish when they are frightened or accidentally are not enough to cause fatal harm to humans. Pouring vinegar, applying hot compresses and taking some allergy medicine can basically solve the crisis at that time.

If it doesn't work, you can use a folk method, sprinkle some urine on the wound. Well, this is only suitable for emergency treatment when there are no other effective methods around at the time, and then you should see a doctor.

To put it in a more serious situation, if the stinging jellyfish uses the venom in its own moves... then you can only hope for the best.

But in nature, stinging jellyfish only use that kind of intense venom when fighting or hunting. After all, their venom is not endless. And humans are not on their menu. Unless, you irritate it.

In a word, the life or death of the victim depends entirely on the mood of the stinging jellyfish at the time.

Nan Fang thought about it.

He could only conclude that the stinging jellyfish that attacked Yujin and poisoned the entire Harijin tribe must be Barbato's Pokémon, which is why it could control the poison so easily.

"Will the poison of Yujin and the others be automatically eliminated if I defeat the so-called giant stinging jellyfish?"

"Damn, what are you thinking! That's a cliché that only appears in movies or novels."

Nan Fang knocked his head and immediately overturned his guess.

correct!

As the saying goes, 'The rich become stronger through technology, and the poor rise up through mutation.' Since we cannot mutate ourselves, we can only take the scientific route.

There is nothing else in the South, but I happen to know a lot of people.

I am not a rich man myself, but I know rich people!

Then the next step is to figure out how to get the venom of that giant stinging jellyfish.

After determining the direction, Nanfang took out his cell phone and found a long-forgotten number.

Early the next morning.

Barbato came to Yu Jin's shed with breakfast and some medicine for treating bruises and injuries.

"Mr. Yu Jin, I thought about it all night last night."

"What did you tell that kid before? When will the meeting of the seven leaders start? Can't it be brought forward?"

Yu Jin looked up at the sanctimonious Babato, and he knew what Babato was up to. Thinking that he should buy more time for the South, Yu Jin pretended to think for a moment.

"According to the usual schedule, the party will probably be in May of next year."

"But this time there is a challenger from the South."

"So it will most likely be held after challenging all the battle facilities in the south."

"How long will that take..." Barbato frowned when he heard this.

"If I had known, I would have kept him no matter what."

"You, old man, didn't deliberately let that kid go because of this, did you?"

Barbato narrowed his eyes and looked at Yu Jin with an unfriendly expression.

"Didn't I say before that he has a special identity?"

"Even if you really keep him, you have to consider what you will face in the near future."

Yu Jin said calmly.

"Chief Barbato, are you here!?"

At this time, the tribal guards suddenly came to the shed and shouted inside.

"I'm here, what happened?"

Barbato heard this and lifted the door cloth and asked.

"That's right, Chief! There's a young man outside the tribe who calls himself Nan Fang and wants to see you. He said there are some things he forgot to ask Mr. Yu Jin."

"He found this place and wanted to ask if Mr. Yu Jin was in our tribe."

"We have brought him in, and he is waiting in the front hall now."

Ok?

"Okay, I see. You go ahead and we'll be there soon."

"Yes!"

Putting down the door cloth, Barbato turned around with a smile and looked at Yu Jin with a fierce look on his face.

"Today is such a good day~"

"I didn't expect the prey would come to my door?"

Yu Jin said nothing, he didn't know what Nan Fang's plan was.

"You are a smart man. If you dare to say something wrong later, you know what the consequences will be."

After saying that, Barbato walked out of the shed with a big laugh and headed towards the hall in front.

At this time, Nan Fang, who had just taken off his headphones, also smiled.
