Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 72 A small settlement (three updates today)
After bidding farewell to the Marilu family, Lai and his companions set out on their journey again.

Lulili's mood was still a little low, but it gradually eased under the care of Niannibao and other partners.

After arriving at the next stop, without rushing to explore, Rai held their customary joining ceremony for Lulili.

After Rai's solemn introduction, the three Pokémon gave Lulili a warm welcome, which made Lulili feel flattered, and the thread of bondage became more tightly entangled between them.

In the next few days, Lai repeated his previous travel methods, traveling, training, and exploring, over and over again.On various islands, Rai saw many things that were completely unrecorded on maps and manuals, and formed friendships with many wild Pokémon during their short time together.

During travel breaks, either he would take the initiative to call her, or the other party would call her. On average, within a day or two, Lai would use this simple illustration to communicate with Naqi via video.Naqi at the other end of the video seems to be training hard too, her whole body has lost some weight, and her originally strange hair style like flying feathers has been combed into neater long straight hair.From Lai's point of view, it is much more beautiful than the original shape.

However, the biggest keyword these days is undoubtedly "plans cannot keep up with changes."

The climate in the southern island group of 107 Waterway and 108 Waterway is extremely changeable. It is usually sunny and pleasant for a while, but then it is windy and rainy and the temperature drops sharply. This natural condition has tempered the endurance of the four Pokémon. At the same time, Lai's travel progress was greatly delayed.

According to expectations, Lai could arrive at Tianshui Island in five to seven days and start his first stop of exploration. However, seven days have passed and not even half of the planned trip has been reached.Most of this was due to the climate that hindered the trip, and the other part was due to the fact that there were several small islands that did not exist on the map at all, which greatly attracted Lai's attention.

Most of these islands are not special. Whether it is the natural conditions or the Pokémon population, they can only be said to be more natural than human. The wild Pokémon also appear to be wild, and some are quite powerful, becoming An excellent sparring partner for several Pokémon.

Especially for Swampert, who likes close combat, he likes the style of these wild Pokémon very much. He is familiar with several of them, especially a wild crayfish, whose combat power is compared to Swamp Leap Fish was only inferior by three points. After a fierce fight with fists and flesh, the two felt quite sympathetic to each other.

After several days of training, the four Pokémon have made great progress, especially Bogwap and Lulili.Originally, after the Big-billed Owl evolved, relying on the transformation brought about by the magical ability of the cyan gem, it was able to firmly occupy the top spot in the team in terms of strength, surpassing the Swamp Jumper who had not yet evolved into its final form. Now, with the recent With the improvement of personal combat ability, the two have a vague tendency to keep pace.

Lulili developed her own potential through more systematic and in-depth training.It was already much more qualified than its mother and two younger brothers. After being separated from the original environment, it quickly became stronger. Although its energy level was still far behind that of the three Pokémon in the team, it relied on its great power. The characteristics and excellent skill configuration of the strongman, and the actual combat ability should not be underestimated.

Although Lai did not intend to make the information about these islands public in order to protect the original ecology of the islands, he still added information about these unknown islands in the manual bit by bit and marked them on the map. Come out and make it your own memory and a guide for future visits to your hometown.

On the evening of the seventh day after departure, Lai, who rarely completed a day's itinerary, followed the map to a small island town on the sea. After explaining his identity and purpose of coming, he checked into the only hotel in the town.As a small island on the edge of the shipping route, solo or small-scale travelers often come here to stay.

The hotel room was not big, but it was quite clean, which made Lai feel very satisfied after sleeping rough for a week.During this week, although there are water-type Pokémon, domestic water and personal hygiene are fully guaranteed, and fresh water for drinking and eating can be replenished on the island, there are still many inconveniences in living in the wild. This sense of contrast brings great happiness to the room.

Lulili, who entered this kind of environment for the first time, was curious about everything. She looked left and right, and ran around with Niannibao.The calm-tempered Swamp Jumper followed behind him, acting as the bodyguard of the gold medal.The relatively large Big-billed Gull couldn't move around in such a space, so he simply hid in the Poké Ball to sleep.

Lai, who had just taken a hot bath and felt refreshed, heard a voice not far away:

"Luli o(*￣︶￣*)o"

“Miou(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻”

As soon as she heard the tone, she knew that it was Lu Lili who had taken advantage of Nian Nian Bao's inattention to play a prank again, and she succeeded.

Open the door to see, as expected.

The two little guys had long forgotten the sisterhood of fighting side by side and started chattering together.

Lu Lili ran ahead with a "baha, bah, bah, bah" expression, her expression both proud and cunning.

Behind him, a layer of dust fell all over his body, mixed with mucus, and the sticky sticky treasure, which looked dirty, was chasing after him.

A crystalline line extends from outside the door.

Seeing the newly washed sticky baby looking like this, Lai suddenly felt that his blood pressure was a little out of control.

He walked over quickly, separated the two little guys, and hugged each other.

First he put the sticky treasure on his shoulders, and then slapped Lulili in the head. Unable to hold her head and squat in defense, Lulili wagged her tail and tried to use the simplified version of the chain slap, but was beaten again. Empty hands catch swords.

"Mio!" OK!Hit again!

“Luli Luli┗(∧｀)┛”

Surrender, surrender!

"Do you know what's wrong?"

"Lori!"

understood!
"Are you going to hit someone with dirt next time?"

"Lori!"

beat!
Seeing Lu Lili sincerely admitting her mistakes and never changing her ways, Lai held her forehead, as if seeing her past self, and was given another blow to the brain.

"Luli!" Lulili broke away from Lai's hand, jumped to the ground and turned her head away.

I'll fight you even after you admit your mistake, and I'll ignore you!

"Mio!"

The sticky treasure on the shoulder laughed mercilessly.

Seeing that Lu Lili was really angry, Lai quickly knelt down and rubbed Lu Lili's head.

"Does it hurt? Then rub it."

"Luli Luli!" He said, waving his big tail and opening Lai's hand.

Ignore you!
"Originally, I was thinking of making you some new flavor cubes tonight. If you ignore me, then forget it?"

"Lully?"

Really?

Lu Lili turned her head, and found that Lai was going to the bathroom to re-bath Niu Nianbao again, so she quickly jumped on the tail, gave it a hard push, and jumped onto Lai's shoulder.

"Luli Luli!"

Snack!Snack!
"Okay, okay, extra food. Now, you two little dirty kids go take a bath first, and then you can eat after you're clean."

······
After cleaning up, Lai found a store in the town, rented an energy cube making machine that was almost as old as his own, took out the fruits he had collected over the past few days, and began to experiment with the new formula he had conceived.

In less than half an hour, the new cubes were neatly stacked in the box. Len picked up one and tasted it.

Well, it tastes very spicy, that's what I mean, Lulili should like it more.

With this thought in mind, Lai put away the box and returned to the hotel in one step.

When I opened the door, I saw two little ones sitting in the house obediently. The swamp jumping fish was nowhere to be seen. They probably went out to give themselves more training.
