Chapter 275 Catch them all in one fell swoop

The tuft of curly hair on Vulpix's head felt very soft, like a fluffy cloud, and its small head was only slightly larger than Luo Mu's palm.

The most peculiar thing is that every time Luo Mu stroked the curly hair on Vulpix's head, he would feel a slight coolness in his palm.

Luo Mu remembered that was the ability of Vulpix in the Alola region. It could produce tiny ice particles on the curly hair on its head and tail, which was very magical.

Seeing that Vulpix was enjoying his touch very much, Luo Mu moved his right hand downwards and stroked its small and cute body——

The touch was also very strange. The soft fur should have been accompanied by warm body temperature, but Vulpix's body felt just the right amount of cool. Luo Mu was already imagining how comfortable it would be to hold Vulpix in his arms on a hot summer day.

Vulpix's body trembled, and it always felt that something was strange, but the Baofen on Luo Mu's left hand made it unable to stop, so it ignored the strange feeling.

At this moment, Vulpix's mind was full of thoughts: (ω) What's so delicious? This is the first time I've eaten such delicious food!
I eat eat eat eat eat!
Luo Mu stopped stroking and watched Vulpix eating faster and faster. He thought she was a little princess with elegant manners, but he didn't expect Vulpix to reveal her true colors so soon.

Luo Mu laughed and said, "Eat slowly and don't choke. No one will snatch it from you."

"Mimi~"

Mimikyu also came to Vulpix and whispered to him. As long as Luomu was around, it would be noticed by other Pokémon, so Vulpix naturally heard Mimikyu's voice.

After knowing that Mimikyuu had no ill intentions, Vulpix felt less repulsed by it and slowed down its eating movements.

At the same time, Vulpix felt a little embarrassed. It was really hungry, otherwise it would not have forgotten the etiquette taught by its elders.

After Vulpix was finally full and drank some water that Luo Mu carried with him, Luo Mu pieced together from Vulpix why it appeared here through the translation of the action interpretation master Mimikyuu.

First of all, there is no doubt that this cave is not the nest of the Vulpix. Whether it is the hungry Vulpix hiding in the hay or the deep claw marks on the surrounding ice walls, the clues point to the identity of the owner of this place as an ice Pokémon with sharp claws.

Vulpix must have fallen into the cave for some time, otherwise it wouldn't be so hungry. The owner of the cave hasn't come back during this time, probably because he went out to look for food. Looking at Vulpix's hunger level, Luo Mu felt that there was a chance that the owner of the cave would come back today.

At that time, Vulpix, which invaded the opponent's territory, might be in danger.

After eating and drinking, Liuwei's tense spirit finally relaxed, as if he regarded Luo Mu as a trustworthy human being. His big watery eyes were half open because of sleepiness. He yawned softly with his little mouth, and curled up his body and fell asleep in Luo Mu's arms in a daze.

At this moment, Luo Mu felt that he had reached the peak of his life. Looking at the cute Vulpix, he felt healed.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

About half an hour after Vulpix fell asleep, Mimikyu looked up at the entrance of the cave. It keenly sensed that there was some rustling noise at the end of the cave, that is, outside.

Mimikyu reported the situation to Luo Mu. Luo Mu stood up from the haystack, freed one hand to pat the hay stuck to his pants, and said in a deep voice: "It should be the owner of the cave who has returned."

"Miaowu~"

Liuwei also woke up because of the noise of Luo Mu getting up, and made a soft and sticky sound in a daze, as if he was acting coquettishly, or as if he was wondering what was going on.

The next moment, as the clear sound of sliding echoed in the cave, two figures landed steadily on the ground one after the other. Sensing the unfamiliar smell and uninvited presence, they immediately made angry threatening noises.

"rustle!!"

The inexperienced Vulpix was frightened. His hair stood up slightly and he timidly nudged himself into Luo Mu's arms, just like a little ostrich.

Luo Mu looked at the owner of the cave fearlessly, and raised his lips slightly: "So it's you."

They are two Pokémon that look like Squamata. To put it bluntly, they are a combination of pangolin and hedgehog porcupine elements.

Most of its skin and scales are light blue, its belly and mouth are white, and its feet have sharp two-toed claws that are particularly large, like hooks.

The most striking thing is that its back is covered with dense, huge, sharp spikes covered with ice. It seems that because the icy spikes occupy a large part of its weight, their not-so-tall bodies make a dull sound when they fall to the ground.

They are - Sandslash (Alola's form).

The attributes are ice + steel, four times weak to fire and weak to fighting.

Luo Mu wondered if today was the day for the Alola form show. He had just encountered Vulpix and now Sandslash is here again.

The two Sandshrews seemed to be a pair, as the size difference was very obvious. The tall Sandshrew protected the smaller Sandshrew behind it, and warily watched Luo Mu and his group of enemies who broke into their nest.

Luo Mu didn't hesitate and squatted down. This is an effective way to reduce the vigilance and aggressiveness of wild Pokémon in the wild.

As a Pokémon crawling around in the wild, if you see a creature taller than you, your first reaction would definitely not be to approach it and ask for a touch, right?
Not every Pokémon is as naive as Vulpix.

Then, Luo Mu took out a few pomelo fruits that he had brought with him, which were ripened by fruit worms. For the Sandshrew and the others, this kind of food, which they had probably eaten before, should be able to reduce their hostility more easily.

As soon as the pomelo fruit left the container, it gave off a faint fruity fragrance, which at least made Vulpix, which had its face buried in Luo Mu's arms, stare at it. But it was afraid of the two Sandshoals and did not dare to show its head, and was completely stuck in a tangled dead end.

The two Sandshrews had a keen sense of smell and naturally knew how fragrant the fruit in Luo Mu's hand was. Their expressions became obviously hesitant.

Luo Mu originally wanted to continue his efforts and capture the two Sandslings with food and then abduct them, but he didn't expect that the two Sandslings suddenly turned their attention to Mimic Hill -

The existence of Mimic Hill is undoubtedly the highest level of threat to them. The pupils of the two Sandshovel King couples shrank, and they let out a roar. The ubiquitous ice energy gathered on the icy spikes on their backs and turned into dense ice pillars that shot towards Mimic Hill.

Icicle crash!

Luo Mu and Vulpix were naturally also within the attack range of the Sandslashers.

Without his reminder, Mimikyu took a step forward, and a dazzling light shone from his body. Under the strong light, all the icicles that were whistling towards him collapsed.

The two Sandslashes were stunned. Ni Lin, which was Luo Mu's Mimicry Hill, glared with angry little eyes. The shadow under his body spread out and instantly connected the shadows of the two Sandslashes.

Then, two pairs of huge and sharp shadow claws smashed down heavily under the surprised expressions of the Sandsangers. Only a heavy slapping sound was heard, and in the middle of the scattered dust, the two Sandsanger couples lost their ability to fight.

Luo Mu: “.”

I felt really sorry for the Sandshrews. After all, I was the one who broke into a private house first and beat up the owner of the "house". It was a sin.

Luo Mu thought about it, but he couldn't think of any way to make up for the two Sandshovels. So he simply closed his eyes, skillfully took out two round balls from his pocket and threw them at the Sandshovels.

The ball hit the two Sandslashes and then fell to the ground. There were a few shaking sounds, and after a crisp ding-dong sound was heard, Luo Mu opened his eyes and looked at the two Poké Balls lying quietly on the ground with a smile that showed he had understood the plan.

His idea was simple. Since he couldn't find a way to make up for the Sandshovels in the short term, he could only bring them back to the farm and feed them well!
The mysterious hill watching: (_)?
The abacus beads are about to hit its face!

"Mew."

It seemed that the breath of the Sandshoals had completely disappeared. Vulpix then mustered up the courage to poke its ostrich head out from its hiding and observed the surroundings with curiosity, as if it didn't understand why the two Sandshoals suddenly disappeared.

Luo Mu put Vulpix down from his arms and asked Mimikyu to take care of it. Then he picked up the two Poké Balls and opened one of them after thinking for a while.

The smaller female Sandslash reappeared in the cave. Vulpix was frightened by this and hid behind Mimikyuu timidly again.

Sandslash was obviously a little confused now, not only because he was just knocked unconscious by Mimikyu's claw, but also because of the strange feeling after being subdued. This made Sandslash hesitate for a while, and ultimately did not attack Luo Mu.

However, Sandsand King still maintained a slight sense of vigilance. At this point, it was obviously time to use the food temptation method.

Luo Mu took out several pomelo fruits and Baofen fruits one by one and placed them on the ground in front of the Sandshrew. Finally, he took a few steps back to signal to the Sandshrew that he had no hostility. The female Sandshrew struggled for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of food. She temporarily put her husband behind her and ate the food provided by Luo Mu with relish.

Once he started eating, he couldn't stop. Feeling the warm current flowing through his body and the delicious taste he had never experienced before, Chuanshanwang's worldview was impacted.

It turns out that there is such delicious food in this world.

The female Sandshoal's eyes changed when she looked at Luo Mu. As for her aggressiveness and vigilance, they had long disappeared into the clouds along with her husband.

Seeing that the Sandshrew was no longer on guard, Luo Mu smiled and asked, "Are you calm now?"

The female Sandsand King hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"That's right, you should know that you have been conquered by me now, right?"

Luo Mu looked at the Sandshrew, and after receiving a nod of confirmation from it, he said:

"To be honest, I plan to take you back to my farm, where we will have food like this every day, or even more kinds of food. You won't have to go out in the snow all the time just to find food."

When Chuanshanwang heard this, his eyes lit up. Could there really be such a good thing in the world?
"Of course, since you have a safe place to live and food to eat, you should also help the farm when necessary. For example, you should keep the ice cellar on the farm at a cold temperature. This shouldn't be difficult for you who have the ice attribute, right?"

Luo Mu once again put on the table the obligations that the Sandshrews must fulfill.

Before Sandslash could say anything, Vulpix, which had gradually poked its little head out, opened its big eyes wide, as if they were twinkling with stars, with a look of longing on its face.

Oh my goodness, can there be more delicious food! ?

The female Sandslash hesitated and was reserved for a while. It was really that the conditions offered by Luo Mu were too tempting. The Sandslash also thought that Luo Mu and Mimikyu were so strong that there was no need to deceive it. In addition, after being captured by the Poké Ball, the Sandslash naturally felt a little closer to Luo Mu without affecting her rationality.

In less than ten minutes, the female Sandsand King chose to follow Luo Mu and completely sold herself out.

With the rebellious female Sandshrew, the other more ferocious and aggressive male Sandshrew was easy to capture. In less than two minutes, under the combined brainwashing of Luo Mu and the female Sandshrew, he made the choice to obey in a daze.

Farm Ice-attribute Pokémon plus two!
"Hmm. Is the snowstorm still blowing outside? It seems to be pretty close to what I guessed."

After communicating with the two Sandshrews, Luo Mu roughly understood the current situation in the outside world.

The sandsand kings felt that the inexplicable snowstorm outside was somewhat unusual and strange, so they ended their foraging early and returned to their nests.

Looking at the little cutie in his arms and the abilities of what must be its elders, Luo Mu felt he had the answer.

This blizzard was most likely created by Vulpix's parent, Kyuubi, in order to search for his children.

The ice-attributed Vulpix in the Alola region has two special abilities: "Snow Hide" and "Snowfall". The former is naturally able to hide its body in the wind and snow, while the latter is just like the Frog King, naturally possessing the ability to bring down wind and snow.

After pondering for a moment, Luo Mu first put the two Sandslashes back into the Poké Ball, then let Mimikyu return to his own shadow, then picked up Vulpix and summoned Dragonite.

As soon as it left the Poké Ball, Dragonite looked at Vulpix in Luo Mu's arms. Its eyes lit up slightly, and it immediately opened its arms to give Vulpix a big hug.

Vulpix shrank back, but still chose to trust Luo Mu and his Pokémon. He didn't move, but just accepted Dragonite's warm hug.

Luo Mu, unable to move, said: “.”

Don’t hug him, this child will be unlucky for you in the future!
After Dragonite released his arms in satisfaction, Luo Mu carried Vulpix on its back, looked at the hole above his head, and seemed to want to say something but stopped.

It seems that Dragonite can't fly up because of its size?
Dragonite seemed to have foreseen that Luo Mu was going to say that it was fat, and stomped its feet in anger. Anyway, Sandslash and his wife had been kidnapped, so it would just use the most violent method to get out -

Seeing Vulpix's terrified expression, Dragonite raised its head and brewed terrifying energy fluctuations in its mouth. The next moment, a destructive ray of light burst out, almost penetrating the raging snow and wind outside!

As the cave began to collapse under the terrifying destructive power of Dragonite, it spread its wings, covered with passionate and burning dragon energy, broke through the falling gravel and dirt in one breath, and appeared directly in the howling blizzard!

As soon as it was exposed to the blizzard, Vulpix looked around as if it had sensed something, and its reaction further verified Luo Mu's guess.

This snowstorm must have been caused by Vulpix's parents!

Without hesitation, Luo Mu shouted in his mind: "System, show me the way!"

[Okay, let’s go in that direction.]

Following the guidance of the system, Dragonite landed on a slightly flat snowfield. At the same time, he saw a luxurious figure looming in the wind and snow.

That is the real snow mountain elf with light blue flowing hair all over its body - Nine-Tail (in the form of Alola)!
People in the Alola region even regard the Alola Nine-Tailed Fox, which appears in a snowstorm, as the incarnation of God, which is enough to show how sacred and elegant the Nine-Tailed Fox's appearance is.

In an instant, Vulpix seemed to have sensed the Nine-Tails looming in the snowstorm. It broke free from Luo Mu's arms and ran towards the Nine-Tails excitedly.

Seeing this, Luo Mu felt helpless.

He had originally planned to capture Vulpix and Kyuubi and take them all away, but now it seems that he has probably lost both the wife and the army.

Running to the Nine-Tailed Fox, Vulpix rubbed its body with some affection. The Nine-Tailed Fox then bent down, stretched out its tongue and licked Vulpix, which had been missing for a long time, and a purring sound came from its throat.

The snowstorm stopped at some point. Looking at Vulpix and Kyuubi bathing in the falling sunlight, Luo Mu raised the corner of his mouth and was about to turn around and leave.

"Miaowu——"

At this time, Jiuwei suddenly looked up and called out to Luo Mu.

Luo Mu paused and met Jiuwei's ice-blue pupils that were full of wisdom. Luo Mu found that he actually saw a scrutinizing look in Jiuwei's eyes.

Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes wandered between Luo Mu and Dragonite, and it remembered what Vulpix had just told it in its ear. It could tell that Luo Mu should be a good person.

Jiuwei is very open-minded and knows that this snow mountain is a creation of humans. It is much older than the Eco-dome and is very clear about the intention of humans in building the Eco-dome.

After all, it is the Pokémon of a teacher at Blueberry Academy who died of old age.

Rather than letting Vulpix be tamed by someone in the future without its knowledge, Nine-Tails would rather personally choose a human worthy of its trust for Vulpix.

The Luo Mu in front of him was undoubtedly the person who perfectly met the requirements of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

He had great patience with Vulpix, generously gave it delicious food, and led Vulpix to find him. More importantly, that Dragonite made Nine-Tails feel that even if he had attributes that restrained the opponent, he had no chance of winning.

It's hard to meet a trainer who has both strength and character.

Nine-Tails nudged Vulpix forward with its nose and made an urging sound.

Liuwei stumbled forward and looked back every few steps. He was a little confused. Did his mother not want him anymore?

But under the urging of Nine-Tailed Fox, Vulpix returned to Luo Mu and made a few soft calls.

Luo Mu, who noticed Nine-Tail's intention, picked up the Six-Tail and solemnly promised: "I will treat it well."

Nine-Tailed Fox nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the depths of the snowfield. The wind and snow started to blow again. In the white world, several Nine-Tailed Fox and Six-Tailed Fox appeared in the direction where Nine-Tailed Fox left, as if they were waiting for it.
