Chapter 457 Young Kiras and the Unknown Totem

Iron Tail!?
Shinji was stunned for a second.

he thinks.

Not to mention the not-so-significant damage that Iron Tail caused to the Scorching Crocodile.

Even now, Pikachu's Iron Tail can't hit the Scorching Crocodile lying underground.

But reality gave Shinji a heavy blow.

Pikachu leaped into the air with a bounce that was inconsistent with its fat body, and like a diver, its body began to spin as it fell.

At the same time, its lightning-shaped tail glowed with metallic luster, as if it was coated with a layer of steel film.

next moment.

With the help of the power generated by rotation and its own power.

Pikachu's petite body suddenly exploded with a force that shook the entire battle hall, and its iron tail slammed down on the field full of holes, with a very obvious roar!
Immediately afterwards, the entire battlefield was suddenly covered with dense cracks, which began to spread like a spider web with Pikachu's iron tail as the center.

The scorching crocodile underground was directly shaken out from below, fell on the broken ground with a thud, and fell asleep immediately.

Seeing this, Xiaozhi and Pikachu hugged each other excitedly.

"Great!"

Shinji was completely stunned now.

No.

Can you be called Iron Tail?
I would believe it if you said it was an earthquake!

Shinji stared at Xiaozhi who was getting close to Pikachu, his heart beating fast.

This guy named Xiaozhi is a bit weird.

"Cough-cough-"

A light cough from the side interrupted Shinji's churning thoughts.

Shinji looked at Luo Mu who had walked towards him at some point, met his eyes, and was guided by Luo Mu's eyes to the battlefield.

The scorching crocodile, which had lost its ability to fight, was still lying there.

Shinji reacted quickly, ran over quickly, squatted down, and picked up the Scorching Crocodile.

The Scorching Crocodile also woke up slowly at this time, and when it met Shinji's eyes, it showed a slightly guilty expression.

Shinji's expression was still somewhat stiff, and some sincere words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them. In the end, he just had a stern face and said stiffly: "It was my misjudgment."

At this moment, the light above Shinji's head was suddenly mostly blocked.

"Is the Scorching Crocodile okay?"

He looked up and saw that it was Xiaozhi who was speaking with a bright smile.

".You don't need to worry about it. The battle isn't over yet."

Shinji didn't take the hand that Xiaozhi extended. He didn't need others' pity.

She stood up by her own strength and handed the Scalding Crocodile to Shizuka who was standing beside her. Her predecessor Joey and her partner, the nurse Jigglypunk, treated the Scalding Crocodile.

Then he looked at Xiaozhi expressionlessly, "Go on."

"."

Even the stubborn Xiaozhi realized that something was wrong at this time.

This Shinji seems to be very impatient with himself?

But Xiaozhi is Xiaozhi after all. If he could really read the air, he wouldn't be known as having zero emotional intelligence and negative love quotient.

As soon as he heard that he had to continue fighting, he put all these things behind him and returned to his position with great enthusiasm.

Shinji held the Poké Ball that he had touched countless times and pressed the button.

"Wood turtle, prepare for battle!"

"Wow, another Pokémon I don't recognize!"

"Pikachu, please continue!"

Xiaozhi still sent out Pikachu.

The battle ended quickly.

Because the injuries left by Scorching Crocodile on Pikachu still existed, it didn't take much effort for Turtle to defeat Pikachu.

This made Luo Mu, who was watching the whistle being blown, a little unsure.

He couldn't actually tell whether Pikachu was truly powerless to save the situation, or if the time had come to just act and go home.

Should I say he is worthy of being a veteran actor? It's so scary!
When Pikachu was taken to treatment by Shizuka, Xiaozhi asked with a clear face.

"Miss, you look alike to Miss Joy, and your partners are both Jigglypuffs."

It was only after Shizuka explained it to him that he realized he actually had a former classmate of Miss Joy!
Being pestered by Xiaozhi with shining eyes and asking all kinds of questions, Shizuka looked at Mudan who was helping her and they came to the same conclusion.

This temporary classmate seems a little single-celled.

The second battle soon continued.

However, the Pokémon sent by Xiaozhi this time is no longer the harmless-looking Pikachu.

A red light flashed, and a sharp-eyed Charizard was released by Xiaozhi.

Although Charizard's size is still relatively small compared to its peers, its improvement in the Charizard Valley is real.

Just like in the previous school competition, the final battle against Mudan's Flareon.

With their attributes completely restrained and their levels not yet catching up, Shinji and Jungle Turtle lost miserably. Many of their strategies were meaningless in the face of Charizard's rich combat experience and overwhelming strength.

At least after Sloth evolved into Totoro, it still has a chance of winning against Charizard. But if it faces Charizard, it will be even worse than before the evolution and will be completely defeated.

Not only is it weak to flying, it is also weak to fire. Ground-type moves that are extremely effective against fire can be easily avoided by the flying Charizard, and grass-type moves are directly resisted four times.

Even if it were Luo Mu, it would be difficult to turn this disadvantageous situation around.

The battle is over.

Xiaozhi enjoyed the fight, but Shinji felt uncomfortable.

He didn't expect that he would be defeated by such a young man.

It was even more frustrating than missing the Taijingzhu in that campus competition.

Later, Shinji was distracted when Luo Mu was giving a lecture. It is easy to imagine how much of a blow this incident was to him.

But Xiaozhi is not as good as Shinji.

As soon as he sat down on Pepper's chair, he fell into a drowsy state and fell asleep on the table.

It's not that Luo Mu's lectures have the same hypnotic effect as the Dream Tapir, it's simply because of Xiaozhi's physique. No matter how interesting the course is, he will feel sleepy as long as it is a theoretical class.

For example, in the academy in the Kanto region, trainers like Xiaozhi are generally classified into "travel school", "practical school" and "intuitive school".

Their progress is based entirely on battle after battle, and theoretical knowledge only needs to be kept to a minimum.

Seeing Xiaozhi like this.

Luo Mu had already begun to think about how difficult it would be for Xiaozhi to memorize the attribute restraint table before the start of the Silver Conference.

The theoretical class ended quickly.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Xiaozhi instantly became energetic and went straight to Shinji, asking him to fight with him.

Of course, Xiaozhi also invited Mudan and Shizuka.

Shinji was still very angry, but he agreed without hesitation.

Mudan and Shizuka looked at each other and, because they were too curious about what other Pokémon Xiaozhi, a trainer who had collected eight badges, had, they accepted his invitation.

The four of them went to the battle field on the playground to compete together, while Luo Mu waited anxiously for the workers to bring ground-type Pokémon to repair the battle field. He checked it again and made sure it was qualified before he could get away completely.

Luo Mu silently made up his mind. Next time.

He wanted to make good use of his power and make Huangbo, who was his subordinate both in name and in fact, do the work.

It is better to exploit others than to force yourself.

It was almost five in the afternoon when Luo Mu left Grape Academy with Xiaozhi, who had had a great battle.

As soon as Xiaozhi landed at the doorstep and got off the back of Charizard, a small green cannonball flew directly towards him.

Xiaozhi caught the young Kiras without his body shaking.

This made Luo Mu, who was standing aside, fall into silence.

I was careless and forgot to capture the precious picture of the super newcomer.

Looking closely at Xiaozhi's arms, he saw that there were still some wet marks on the corners of little Kiras' mouth, as if he had just woken up.

Not long after the little Kiras rushed out, Zhihuixing, who had been tasked by Luo Mu to take care of it, also followed out.

"Master, you are finally back!"

Zhi Huixing looked at Luo Mu as if he had found his backbone.

King Leiguan took Lingyou Horse and Snowstorm Horse to Xueza Town these two days to investigate the environment and the output of ore and metals. The only one who can make the decision is Luo Mu.

"A Pokémon that can talk like Team Rocket's Meowth"

Holding the baby Kiras, Xiaozhi stared at Zhihuixing blankly.

This afternoon, Zhi Huixing was supervising the repairs at the new house and did not run into Xiaozhi. This was the first time they met.

Obviously, Zhihuixing gave Xiaozhi a scare when they first met.

"This is telepathy, just like Entei."

Luo Mu patted Xiaozhi on the shoulder, and after he showed an expression of sudden realization, he looked at Zhi Huixing.

"Did something happen?"

Luo Mu asked with a frown.

Zhi Huixing looked embarrassed, shook his head, and then nodded.

Using telepathy, it tells the story of what happened -

Not long ago, the sleeping little Kiras woke up.

It didn't see Xiaozhi or Luo Mu, and its crying was almost enough to blow the roof off, scaring the white fluffy cats and the others who were basking in the sun on the balcony on the upper floor.

If it were just that, it would be fine. As long as we wait for Luo Mu and Xiaozhi to come back, the crying of little Kiras will naturally stop.

of course.

Zhihuixing has also made a lot of efforts for this.

It's like using telekinesis to wrap up the toys that Growlithe had left over from his childhood, making them float, and using them to amuse young Kiras.

The young Kiras's attention was indeed distracted for a moment, but soon, his emotions began to get out of control again.

Just then, young Kiras noticed a wooden box placed in the corner of the living room.

The wooden box has hardly been moved since it was placed at home. If it weren't for Zhi Huixing's meticulous cleaning every day, leaving no dust behind, a lot of dust would have accumulated on it.

For some reason, young Kiras was very interested in the wooden box. He went forward and hugged the box and refused to let go. He even forgot that he should be stiff in front of a stranger.

In desperation, Zhi Huixing could only do as it wished and open the locked wooden box.

Inside the box are two woodcut panels with a historic feel.

Zhi Huixing remembered that the woodcut board seemed to be something Luo Mu brought back when he went to the Johto area to collect the gold and silver tree seedlings.

Since there was no reaction no matter what I did, I simply put it in a wooden box, locked it, and placed it in a corner of the living room.

Zhihuixing didn't know why little Kiras was interested in the woodcut, but knowing the details of the woodcut, he allowed little Kiras to touch it.

then.

Something happened that Zhi Huixing did not expect.

The woodcut suddenly emitted a strong light. Amid the exclamation of little Kiras, a sense of responsibility made Zhi Huixing open his eyes to see the surrounding environment clearly.

After finally opening its eyes, it saw a rather strange scene.

The two wooden blocks floated up and turned into two Pokémon that Chimp had never seen before. They rushed directly into the body of young Kiras and disappeared!
After a while, the strong light dissipated, leaving only an empty wooden box. Little Kiras was stunned and had no idea what was going on. In short, he was frozen and Zhihuixing was mentally broken.

Then young Kiras took another nap until Luo Mu and Xiaozhi came back.

After listening to Zhi Huixing's explanation, Luo Mu was silent for a long time.

Looking at Xiaozhi who was interacting with the young Kiras, he whispered, "Come inside first and show me the wooden box."

Although Luo Mu did not mean to blame him, Zhi Huixing felt that he was too lax and made mistakes, which was a mistake that should not have happened as a perfect Pokémon manager.

What a shame.

After it forced itself to reply to Luo Mu, it went into the house dejectedly to get the wooden box.

A few minutes later, in the living room.

Luo Mu took the wooden box from Zhi Huixing and looked at it carefully.

The box that exuded a faint woody aroma was now empty, and the wooden carving board that had been quietly placed there had disappeared.

But it doesn’t matter. Looking at the box, Luo Mu recalled the origin of the two woodcut boards placed in the box.

After resolving the unknown totem riot caused by Snowden's mansion and the incident with Yan Di in the Crystal Tower.

That morning, the two pieces suddenly appeared behind him and fell to the floor with two plops.

Think carefully about it.

He remembered that the patterns engraved on the two woodcuts were different from the ones Dr. Xiu Li had. They were completely different from the twenty-six letters and were the symbols of "exclamation mark" and "question mark".

According to memory, the woodcut is the incarnation of the unknown totem after it fell asleep. There are a total of 28 unknown totems, among which there are also special individuals representing "exclamation mark" and "question mark" in addition to the letters.

It can basically be inferred that the Pokémon transformed from the woodcut is the unknown totem of "exclamation mark" and "question mark", which possesses extremely magical powers.

But as to why the two unknown totems reacted to the young Kiras and why they entered its body, Luo Mu had a vague answer in his mind, but he was not sure yet.

Think about it for a moment.

After taking another look at Young Gilas and Xiaozhi, Luo Mu asked Zhi Huixing to lean closer to his ear and said, "Pay more attention to Young Gilas's physical condition in the next two days. Don't tell Xiaozhi about this for the time being, as he is impatient."

".Everything, we will wait until the Bud Crown King returns, and then conduct further investigation and diagnosis."

Zhi Huixing nodded slightly and responded.

"I understand."

The next morning.

Xiaozhi, who was sleeping with Pikachu and baby Kiras, was ruthlessly woken up by Luo Mu.

"Hurry up, it's time to work."

Xiaozhi, who was still yawning, suddenly widened his eyes and looked confused.

Work?

What work?
Is he talking to me?
Luo Mu was holding a box full of Poké Balls and gave a malicious smile to the confused Xiaozhi.

That mouthful of white teeth made Xiaozhi feel inexplicably uneasy.

The next second, his premonition came true.

Luo Mu said faintly: "Free special training that includes food, clothing, housing and transportation naturally has a price."

"It just so happens that Professor Oak has already sent all your Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in Flateye Town through the transmission machine, and the other party has already handed them over to me."

"Next, it's time for some fun farm work."
