Chapter 633: Xiaoshu's Talent, Bulky Mosquito, and Gogoat!
Chapter 633: Xiaoshu's Talent, Bulky Mosquito, and Gogoat!
"Wow, our Xiaoshu built such a beautiful sandcastle! Amazing!"
As a Gym Leader and streamer, Qi Shu was very familiar with filming.
She held up her Rotom Phone and moved closer, aiming the camera at Xiaoshu.
Hearing her mother's voice, Xiaoshu babbled and lifted her head to look over, breaking into a silly grin.
She pointed her tiny finger at the unrecognizable sand pile, then looked at the Combucha Bug across from the sandcastle and said, "Ya ya!"
"Hmm? You mean you built this sandcastle with the Combucha Bug?" Qi Shu asked, surprised.
"Wow!" Xiaoshu nodded vigorously.
The Combucha Bug happily squinted its eyes.
"The Combucha Bug is amazing too!" Qi Shu patted her daughter's head, "You two must get along well!"
"Ya ya!"
Xiaoshu turned and buried herself in the soft, fluffy white fur of the Combucha Bug, hugging its large body and wriggling happily.
The Combucha Bug didn't mind at all; it obediently stayed in place, letting Xiaoshu wriggle on its body, appearing very content.
Seeing how much Xiaoshu liked the Combucha Bug, Shizuru felt relieved.
Now it seemed that his decision to have a Pokemon companion for Xiaoshu as she grew up was the right choice.
Pokemon and Trainers who grew up in this environment would have a much stronger bond and understanding than those who caught their first Pokemon at the age of ten.
Moreover, when Xiaoshu turned ten and became a Trainer, her strength would far surpass her peers.
By then, she could directly take on the Eight Gyms with a fully evolved Fire Butterfly and challenge the Four Kings, becoming the youngest Champion in Paldea.
Shizuru couldn't help but imagine Xiaoshu's future.
Now, it was time to take the first step towards becoming a genius—learning to walk!
He chuckled and stepped forward to pick Xiaoshu up.
"My dear daughter, let's go! To become an excellent Trainer in the future, Daddy will teach you how to walk!"
Xiaoshu was lifted up, looking bewildered, as if she didn't understand what was happening.
She flailed her limbs, struggling to free herself from Shizuru's grasp.
Seeing this, Qi Shu couldn't help but laugh.
"Why tease her suddenly?" she asked.
"I'm teaching her to walk!" Shizuru replied matter-of-factly.
It was already late October, and in a few days, Xiaoshu would be eleven months old. After that, she would turn one year old, and it was time to start teaching her to walk.
Hearing this, Qi Shu's eyebrows twitched, "Hey! She can't even stand steadily yet! Isn't it too early to teach her to walk now?"
"That's true." As the saying goes, more haste, less speed. Shizuru thought carefully and decided to abandon his original plan.
He helped Xiaoshu up and pointed to the Lapras by the shore, saying, "Xiaoshu, do you see the Lapras over there? Do you want to go ride it and play with them?"
Shizuru had already observed that these Lapras weren't wild; they were part of a tourist attraction in Haolele City.
For just 700 League Dollars, one could buy a ticket to ride a Lapras for thirty minutes.
For a child of this age, it was probably impossible to resist the opportunity to get up close and personal with the rare Pokemon Lapras.
As expected, when Xiaoshu looked in the direction Shizuru was pointing, she was immediately drawn to the Lapras.
"Alright, let's go ride the Lapras!" Shizuru cheered, hoisting Xiaoshu onto his neck.
Xiaoshu was delighted, "Yi yi ya ya!"
The owner of the Lapras attraction was a kind-looking middle-aged man.
After Shizuru paid, the man waved towards the sea.
In no time, a healthy-looking Lapras slowly swam over and approached Shizuru.
It let out a melodious cry.
"Woo~!"
"Hello, Lapras!" Shizuru greeted the Lapras before holding Xiaoshu and climbing onto its back.
The size of the Lapras was surprisingly large; they stood nearly three meters tall, and their gray shell on their back resembled a small boat floating on the water's surface.
Even with Shizuru sitting on it, there was still plenty of space.
Now he understood why Ash's Lapras could carry so many people.
Once Shizuru was seated, the Lapras let out another melodious cry, seemingly indicating that the passenger on its back was ready.
Then, the Lapras turned and swam towards the surface.
It didn't swim too far, just hovering in the shallow water area.
The sun shone brightly today, making the seawater appear exceptionally clear, allowing Shizuru to see the seaweed and fine sand swaying gently beneath the water's surface, along with some small fish Pokemon swimming among the corals.
Shizuru held Xiaoshu in his arms, pointing to the fish below the water and saying to her, "Look, there are so many glow fish down there!"
Xiaoshu looked down and indeed saw many glow fish gently swimming in the crystal-clear seawater that was almost transparent.
Thanks to the ecological habits of these Pokemon, the sea surface could always be seen during the day.
Because they needed to store sunlight during the day, and at night, after collecting sunlight all day, the glow fish would move deeper into the sea, emitting a bright, colorful light from their bodies.
Looking at these adorable little fish, Xiaoshu stretched out her small hand, wanting to scoop them up.
Shizuru quickly stopped her, "No, you mustn't! If you accidentally fall into the water, it'll be terrible. When you grow up, you can swim with the glow fish and play with them!"
The Lapras in front of them also turned its neck and looked back.
"Wuu~!"
Xiaoshu looked at Lapras again.
Lapras gently lowered its head.
Seeing this, Shizuru understood Lapras's intention.
He took Xiaoshu's hand and placed it on Lapras's forehead, letting her touch this Lapras.
Looking at the huge creature before her, Xiaoshu couldn't help but widen her round, curious eyes.
"Ya ya!"
"It's called Lapras," Shizuru introduced.
Lapras happily narrowed its eyes, "Wuu~"
Seeing Lapras's appearance, Xiaoshu looked very happy. She clapped her hands excitedly while making 'ah woo' sounds.
Seeing that Lapras hadn't retracted its head, Xiaoshu took the initiative to place her hand on its forehead again.
But the next second, something unexpected happened.
A thick green light suddenly burst out from Xiaoshu's hand and flowed into Lapras's body.
Lapras was slightly startled.
But soon, as Xiaoshu retracted her hand, the green energy also disappeared.
Only then did Shizuru react.
That seemed to be... the Eternal Power inherited from him?
But what was going on? Why could Xiaoshu use this power so early, and her talent seemed to be quite extraordinary.
Was it triggered by accident, or did she activate it unintentionally? Looking at Xiaoshu's dazed expression, Shizuru already had the answer in his heart.
Feeling the energy from earlier, Lapras was curious about the human girl in front of it.
Shizuru patted Xiaoshu's head, and just as he was about to say something, a scream came from the beach.
Shizuru turned his head and saw the crowd there starting to scatter in all directions.
Shizuru was stunned. What was going on?! Soon, he had the answer in his heart.
Among the crowd, there was a red Pokemon resembling a large man-made mosquito! Its body was covered in bloated, horrifying muscles, and it looked like it was full of red liquid inside. Black spikes grew on its body.
That was... the swollen mosquito with the code name "UB02: Bulky"?
In front of the swollen mosquito was a Pikachu that had been drained of energy, reduced to a "paper-thin" state.
The Pikachu's trainer stood behind, staring up at the swollen mosquito's towering figure in a daze, seemingly stunned by this sudden scene and unable to snap out of it for a long time.
After absorbing the energy, the swollen mosquito noticed the human in front of it. It narrowed its eyes and then, like a bodybuilding enthusiast, struck a standard bodybuilding pose.
That appearance was as if it was showing off its well-developed muscles to the human in front of it.
Seeing this, Shizuru frowned and quickly said, "Lapras, take us back!"
Lapras was a bit confused, but it sensed the urgency in his tone and quickly turned around and swam towards the shore.
At this moment, the swollen mosquito, having finished showing off its developed muscles, began searching for a new target.
It looked left and right, and its gaze finally landed on a creature covered in crimson scales.
That creature also had a strong muscular build!
A strong sense of competition rose in the swollen mosquito's heart.
It quickly flew in front of the Gogoat and struck a bodybuilding pose, showing off its strong muscles.
"Ah gah..." Gogoat twitched the corner of its mouth, looking speechless.
Seeing the disdainful attitude of this Pokemon, the swollen mosquito was enraged. How dare it look down on it!
The angry swollen mosquito clenched its right fist and forcefully swung it towards Gogoat's face.
Seeing this, Gogoat narrowed its eyes. It extended a hand and accurately caught the oncoming fist, then with a mighty force, it threw the swollen mosquito away.
In the sky, a modern fighter jet stealthily approached.
Aboard the plane, two Ether Foundation members, tasked with capturing an Ultimate Beast, were shocked by the scene unfolding below.
UB02, renowned for its immense strength, was effortlessly tossed aside by that Pokemon...
It was common knowledge that UB02's power was formidable, capable of easily overpowering and throwing even the mightiest of Pokemon.
Pokemon like Machamp, Mega Scizor, and Bewear were no match for it.
But now... their roles had reversed!
Sensing the silence on the other end of the communicator, Lusamine, far away in the Ether Paradise, furrowed her brows slightly.
"What happened? Which Ultimate Beast is it?"
"Reporting! It's UB02!" the two members replied swiftly.
UB02?
Lusamine's mind conjured an image of an Ultimate Beast with bulging muscles all over its body.
"An unknown Pokemon has stopped UB02! It effortlessly threw UB02 aside!" the members reported.
What? Lusamine was momentarily stunned.
The two researchers quickly shared the scene they had witnessed.
Soon, Lusamine witnessed the events unfolding at the scene.
At this moment, Shizuru had also reached behind Gogoat.
"What is that? Is it a Pokemon?" Qi Shu noticed the Pikachu that had been sucked dry, her brows furrowed in confusion.
"It's an Ultimate Beast from another world," Shizuru shook his head, not overly concerned as he had brought many Pokemon with him today.
Besides Gogoat, there were Babutap, Ewogponge, Pterafly, and more...
Even a single Bulky Mosquito, let alone a Glutton King, would not stand a chance against them.
At that moment, the Bulky Mosquito that had been thrown by Gogoat flew back, its right fist clenched, and it struck Gogoat with full force.
"Is it challenging Gogoat because it saw its muscles?" Shizuru quickly understood the Bulky Mosquito's intention.
In response to the attack, Gogoat casually waved its dragon claws, sending the Bulky Mosquito flying once more.
The immense force caused the Bulky Mosquito to stumble, but it quickly recovered and turned around, charging at Gogoat with an exaggerated speed.
Its sharp mouthparts glowed with a white light, resembling sharp spikes as it fiercely thrust towards Gogoat.
The speed was so fast that afterimages lingered in the air, and the dense needle-like mouthparts struck Gogoat's hard scales, emitting a tinkling sound.
However, a puffing sound soon followed, and the Bulky Mosquito's mouthparts successfully penetrated Gogoat's body!
"Oh no!" The Ether Foundation members on the helicopter silently exclaimed. UB02's ability was such that once its mouthparts pierced a target, even a Pokemon as strong as Snorlax would be drained of its energy within a short time, turning into a lifeless husk and losing its ability to move!
The opponent was strong, but they knew nothing about UB02, and now things had taken a turn for the worse!
"Let's go!" One of the Ether Foundation members prepared to act. "Capture UB02 and send it back to the Ultimate Cavern!"
Just as he was about to move, he heard his companion say, "Wait! Look!"
The two looked down and saw the man behind the unfamiliar Pokemon seemed to have given some sort of command.
"Gogoat, use Flame Charge," Shizuru said.
Gogoat nodded, and in the next second, a scorching flame burst from its body.
The flame instantly engulfed its entire body, and the Bulky Mosquito, which had just pierced Gogoat's body and was about to drain its energy, immediately felt an intense burning sensation.
It paused, then instinctively tried to retract its mouthparts and flee.
But Gogoat didn't give it a chance.
Its body was already ablaze with raging flames, and as the Bulky Mosquito turned, Gogoat's entire body resembled a comet with a blazing tail, instantly colliding with the Bulky Mosquito.
The tremendous force and high temperature sent the Bulky Mosquito flying.
Its robust body landed clumsily on the beach, its eyes rolled back, and it lost its ability to fight.
"It's over... in an instant?!"
At this moment, everyone from the Ether Foundation who witnessed this scene was left in shock, frozen in place.
UB02, known for its formidable strength, couldn't withstand even a single move from that Pokemon!
What were the origins of that Pokemon and its Trainer?
