Chapter 54: The Ice Vulpix
Chapter 54: The Ice Vulpix
---
"Chak—"
Seeing Jing He and Gastly daring to block its path, Zubat was a bit angry and let out an angry cry.
The two Crobat immediately opened their mouths and released "Ultrasonic."
"Kya!"
Gastly let out a sinister laugh, the black mist around its body swirling, and a wisp of it detached from its form.
The "Ultrasonic" waves passed through the two wisps of black mist but didn't affect Gastly at all!
The next moment, Zubat saw two Gastly with sinister grins.
"Gastly, move fast, end this quickly! It's badly hurt, we need to get it to the Pokemon Center!"
"Kya!"
Gastly responded with great solemnity.
Squatting on the ground, Jing He didn't care about the mess on the little one's body and reached out to try to cover the wound. Blood seeped through his fingers.
"Ooh—"
But the little one struggled, seemingly unwilling to let Jing He touch it.
Jing He's eyes softened.
"I'm not a bad person."
This statement made the little one struggle even more, its movements pulling at the wound, causing a steady stream of blood to flow onto the ground.
It let out a trembling, scared growl, baring its small fangs in a show of aggression.
Under the moonlight, its crystal-clear, ice-blue eyes reflected fear, as well as Jing He's smile, overlapping with some memory in its mind.
But in a fleeting moment, it remembered a night when someone, seemingly the same person, had given it the best thing it had ever eaten.
Its struggle lessened slightly.
Jing He noticed Vulpix's reaction and felt a heavy heart.
Another Pokemon that had been hurt or abandoned by humans.
Vulpix wasn't a common Pokemon, and with its cute appearance, it was quite popular, second only to Eevee and Pichu.
Many people who owned Vulpix kept them as ornamental pets.
However, some superstitious people were afraid of Vulpix.
Due to the ancient legend of the nine-tailed fox, they viewed Vulpix or Ninetales as monsters.
Moreover, this little one's temperament didn't seem to make it a very good "ornamental pet."
This reminded Jing He of one of his patients.
The "math magician" who wanted to build an "ideal country."
On some level, Jing He could understand his ideals.
"Kya!"
At that moment, Gastly floated over, the two Crobat having vanished, and Zubat lay unconscious on the ground, missing two teeth.
Jing He didn't fuss over these details and instructed Gastly:
"Force a sleep."
Jing He's hypnosis required cooperation or surprise, but this Vulpix was so wary and injured that he had to rely on Gastly.
"Kya—"
Gastly nodded, its eyes glowing with the blue light of "Hypnosis."
"Ooh, ooh—"
Vulpix tried to resist, but Gastly's "Hypnosis" was too powerful. After a couple of struggles, it fell into a deep sleep.
Jing He sighed.
He took off his jacket, wrapped the dirty little one in it, and picked it up. It was much lighter than he had expected.
"Let's go."
He hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Pokemon Center.
Kanaz Pokemon Center.
In the familiar and cheerful melody of the Pokemon Center, Jing He sat on a bench outside the emergency room, frowning.
"Kya kya—"
Gastly floated around, appearing even more anxious than Jing He.
"Gastly, calm down. We're at the Pokemon Center; it should be fine now," Jing He said, unable to help himself.
"Kya?"
Do you have enough money?
Jing He was taken aback. "You're worried about money?"
"I have enough, don't worry."
"Do you have enough money?"
At that moment, a gentle voice came from Jing He's pocket.
Huh?
Jing He pulled out his phone and realized he had just turned off the screen without hanging up the call.
He picked up the phone and said with a sigh:
"Miss—"
Even if you're insomnia, you must be really bored.
He didn't say it out loud.
Your account has been credited with 200,000 League coins. Remaining balance: 235,000 league coins.

"Your voice sounds so clear. Someone once said your voice sounds like Lapras?"
"Your mouth?"
Guisi watched Jing He's face change throughout the entire process, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Feeling full... I've seen too much."
A light, tinkling laugh came from the other end of the phone, followed by a question, "Enough? Not enough to call my uncle?"
"Enough, enough."
Jing He, while speaking in a soft, gentle tone, kept glaring at Guisi.
Click—
The emergency room's large door opened, and Miss Joie, along with Giledan, pushed a cart covered in a white sheet out.
"Your mouth, your mouth!"
Guisi exclaimed in shock.
Covered in a white sheet...
"Is it?!"
Jing He didn't breathe well, 'Don't move, lie still.'
Guisi then realized that lying on the soft white sheet was a small creature, as white as frost, with six crystal-clear, fluffy tails, eyes closed, breathing steadily, and sleeping soundly. 'Is it? !'
Guisi's eyes widened in alarm.
'Is it really that small black ball? It's really hard to think that the small black ball is connected with the one that got dirty and muddy.'
To be honest, the shock in Jing He's eyes wasn't much less than Guisi's.
He knew the small creature was a Six-Tailed,, but he never expected it to be an Ice Six Tail! Or, in other words, an Alolan Six tail!
How did an Alolan six tail end up in the Fuyuan region? It's so pitiful.
"Teacher Jing He, the small one is fine, but it's seriously malnourished. Combined with excessive bleeding, its body is very weak and needs proper care."
Miss Joie clearly knew Jing he, as he often went to the Kanaz Police Bureau to assist in calming down nightmares, and she would frequently meet Miss Joie for assistance.
"Thank you."
Jing He then prepared to pay.
Only then did he realize...
Although he wasn't a registered trainer, he had been helping the League's Search Department and assisting the Kanaz Police Bureau, so he had long enjoyed the free use of the Pokemon Center.
He was just worried about the taxi fare back.
Jing He held the Ice Six Tail, its face like a cute porcelain doll in deep sleep.
"It must have suffered a lot."
The Ice Six Tail subconsciously curled up in Jing He's arms, its nose twitching slightly, as if it dreamed of something.
"Your mouth, your mouth."
Guisi watched the small one, licking his lips.
Hehe, Ice Six Tail, hehe.
Back home.
Jing He placed the Ice Six Tail on his bed, not knowing where he found a blanket with leaves printed on it.
Guisi, hovering in a state of confusion, said, "Don't scare it, it's a girl."
"Your mouth?"
Guisi looked puzzled.
How would you know?
Naturally, because Jing He had confirmed it long ago.
However, he didn't explain, but took the phone and walked to the balcony.
While Guisi lay beside the sleeping Ice Six Tail, guarding it.
It's just that Jing He didn't want it to be kissed a hundred times.
"Still there?"
Walking to the balcony.
Moonlight poured in, making everything exceptionally clean and bright.
"The moon tonight is quite full."
"Uh-huh."
From the other end of the phone, a low, fearful whisper came, like the mumbling in a dream.
It seemed the other side was already asleep.
This made Jing He's original plan to return and pay for the treatment temporarily put aside.
Back inside, Guisi was already lying beside the Ice Six Tail, snoring softly, occasionally muttering, "Your mouth, your mouth."
Hehe, Ice six tail, on the other side.
On the soft bed, the golden-haired Serena curled up among a pile of cute dolls.
Moonlight filtered through the window like a light veil, reflecting a kind smile on her face.
