Chapter 103: Revenge of the Caterpie, Flower Therapy by Huan Huan
"Then. 3, 2, 1, the battle begins!"

Surrounded by Swampert, Moltres and Poliwags, Luo Mu swung his right hand violently.

Growlithe still chose to strike first, and using the technique learned from Wolfman, it howled and directly gained a level of strength. Then flames seeped out of Growlithe's mouth, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into a huge mouthful of flaming teeth, biting directly at Mosquito-Coolant!
Fire-type move: Flame Fang!
It's not that Caterpillar likes to fight against its attributes. First, it was born not long ago and its skill pool is still very shallow. Second, its experience cannot support it, a repair dog, to memorize the attribute restraint table.

On the contrary, Mosquito-Kun knew that as a water-attribute Pokémon, it could resist fire-attribute moves, so it immediately chose to withstand the attack while counterattacking with the Water Gun move.

Seeing this, Luo Mu shook his head helplessly. Sometimes being too smart can lead to mistakes. The current Growlithe is completely different from when it was just born.

I saw Growlithe rushing to the side of Mosquito-Coolant like a gust of wind. Mosquito-Coolant immediately raised his left arm to block in front of him. At the same time, his water gun was ready to fire, waiting to give Growlithe a big shot at close range.

It considered that it had not yet mastered the close combat skills necessary to determine the outcome of a fight. Compared to its arms, keeping its body uninjured was the most important thing.

However, in an instant, Mosquito Incense knew he was wrong.

Caterpillar's flaming fangs bit into Mosquito's arm, causing a sharp pain and burning sensation. If that was all, it wouldn't be a big deal. But then, in front of Mosquito's shocked expression, Caterpillar shook its head, and a brute force that Mosquito could not resist pulled its arm and body together, throwing it directly into the air!
This is not over yet. Growlithe roared, and the rock energy quickly gathered into several basketball-sized rocks, which directly hit Mosquito-King and knocked it down from mid-air.

This smooth little combo stunned Mosquito-Coolant. The condensed water gun suddenly dissipated and turned into water droplets that dripped from the sky. The Growlithe, which was stained by the water droplets, shook its body uncomfortably to shake off its fur.

At the same time, Mosquito Coil also fell from mid-air, fell heavily to the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.

This combo was completely taught by Kukui's Wolfman, and it caught Mosquito-kun off guard.

In the following battle, Mosquito-kun, whose agility was affected by the injury, was no match for Growlithe, whose physical condition had caught up with him in all aspects.

Now that Growlithe has been prepared for "hypnosis", even if Mosquito-King used its trump card move "Water Wave" to cause some damage to Growlithe, it still lost its combat capability under Growlithe's selfless "Double-Edged Headbutt".

Amid the Pokémon that were looking down with lost eyes, Swampert with a calm expression, and Moltres with its head held high with great pride, Luo Mu quickly came to the center of the battlefield, took out the medicine that he had prepared long ago, and performed simple treatments on both Pokémon.

Worried, he checked again a few times and after confirming that both Pokémon were fine, Luo Mu breathed a sigh of relief and decided to take them to find the Flower Healing Ring and give them some treatment.

Luo Mu stretched out his hands and picked up Mosquito-kun and Growlithe, who had different expressions, and went to where Swampert was and put them down.

As soon as he put Mosquito-Coolant down, three little Mosquito-Coolant tadpoles came over with worried looks on their faces. The three cries that came one after another gave Mosquito-Coolant, who was feeling a little depressed, a headache.

But Mosquito Coil understood that his younger brothers were all concerned about him, so he could only force himself to respond to them.

There are naturally joys as well as sorrows. Having accomplished its revenge, Growlithe was so excited that its tail was about to shake like a propeller. And when faced with Growlithe's attempt to take credit, Moltres gave Growlithe enough face and let Growlithe ride on its somewhat round body, just like a novice parent doting on his child.

After this battle, Luo Mu had a clearer understanding of the strength of Growlithe and Mosquito-King.

Growlithe's talent is definitely stronger than that of Arcanist. This cannot be denied even if Luo Mu is not a trainer who only believes in talent. From the progress of learning the moves, it can be seen that Arcanist is still in a state where he does not have many rich moves, but Growlithe already has quite a few powerful moves.

In particular, the double-edged headbutt combined with Kartiri's already confirmed hidden characteristic "Hard Head" directly forms a terrifying side-effect-free move with a 150-point power bonus according to the data in the game.

Coupled with Growlithe's rapidly growing physique, the gap between its physique and that of Grumpy will likely widen in the future. As for Grumpy, its intelligence is undoubtedly outstanding for a Pokémon, and it can react on the spot, which makes it easier for trainers to train. The moves it learns also have many different effects, such as white fog, black fog, hypnosis, etc., which can all have unexpected effects.

Unfortunately, it encountered Growlithe's reckless fighting style, and misjudged the power gap between it and Growlithe, so it lost the battle.

Not long after, Luo Mu returned home with the still excited Caterpillar and the lost Mosquito-Repellent.

The flower therapy ring, which has already carried out sufficient photosynthesis, has been waiting for a long time. Next to it sits a messenger bird whose feathers have grown back.

The messenger bird, which looked weak, helpless and pitiful, suddenly lit up its eyes the moment it saw Luo Mu, and ran towards Luo Mu with clacking steps.

An ordinary messenger bird might choose to fly over at this time, but the messenger bird rescued by the Roentgen cat obviously chose to walk because of psychological problems. The way it walked looked like a clumsy penguin, which was quite funny.

Luo Mu used all his strength to hold back his laughter.

The messenger bird hugged Luo Mu's right leg directly, with a dependent look on its face, like a baby bird that couldn't leave its parents.

But Luo Mu's strange expression indicated that this matter was not that simple.

The last time I checked with Miss Joy in Flat Disc Town, she specifically told me that this messenger bird was not only a male Pokémon, but also should be an adult.

In addition, its tail is much larger than that of an ordinary messenger bird. Miss Joy even suspects that this messenger bird is the leader of a certain messenger bird colony.

This was also the reason why Luo Mu almost couldn't hold back. If Miss Joy's guess was correct, the messenger bird, as the majestic leader of the tribe, would feel awkward to act like a baby bird at his feet after leaving the tribe.

Be a little bolder, what if the messenger bird happened to be seen by its younger brothers in the tribe when it was acting coquettishly? That scene reminded Luo Mu of a short video he saw before traveling through time.

The scar-faced stray cat leader who acts like a spoiled brat in front of humans is actually very majestic in the stray cat group. He often brings back rich food and is admired by his younger brothers.

Until it started to act coquettishly, the walls of the alley were filled with its little brothers.

Luo Mu, who had managed to hold back a smile, rubbed his eyes and said as calmly as possible, "Flower Therapy Huanhuan, I'll leave the flower scent therapy for these three of them in your hands later."

"Ring~"

Hualiao Huanhuan smiled as if everything was up to her, and slowly brought Luo Mu and the three Pokémon into the room.

This room was specially cleared out by Luo Mu. The space is rather narrow and was probably the old couple's former storage room.

Luo Mu placed a simple portable bed in the room and added a flower therapy ring, and a simple farm hospital was built.
