Chapter 522: The Well of Slowpoke
Due to the worship of Ho-oh and Lugia, the ancient capital area generally followed the tradition of harmonious coexistence with elves.
When a girl named Xiao Huang walked into the Elf Center with a Slowpoke, the news that someone maliciously cut off the Slowpoke's tail quickly spread like wildfire.
People in the whole town felt unusually angry. Under the leadership of Mr. Steel, many trainers went to the Well of Slowpoke to investigate.
Ah Jin, who witnessed the whole process, had a suspicion about this incident.
That red-haired bastard should be nearby. Did he do this?
But the other person doesn't seem like someone who would waste time on such things.
It's better to talk to Xiao Huang and investigate the clues.
Then he came to Xiao Huang, who was waiting worriedly for the end of Slowpoke's treatment.
"Xiao Huang, long time no see." Ah Jin noticed the 4 Poké Balls on the opponent's waist, "Have you recently made up your mind to become a trainer?"
Not long ago, there was only one Pikachu and a little Gueran, but now they are all full. Could it be that they have gained something from the distortion of time and space?
Xiao Huang, who was full of Slowpoke, didn't react for a moment. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "I have always been a trainer."
After that, she released all the elves. Except for Qiuqiu, who was originally beside her, the other elves in the three elf balls were——
Little Guoran, Little Ratta, Green Caterpillar.
"This is little Guoran, and there are also new little Lala and Little Caterpillar!"
Ah Jin's eyes went dark.
Two house rats, one house bug, and a little Gueran who doesn't fight back when beaten, your lineup is too abstract!
"I met them when I was fishing near the Alfu ruins before. They are cute, right?"
"Very cute, too cute." What else could A Jin say.
After that, Ajin learned about Xiao Huang's recent experience.
When she came to Juniper Town, she originally wanted to see how Slowpoke fished with its tail, but she unexpectedly found a spiritless Slowpoke in the corner.
After questioning, she learned that some people had been cutting off their tails in recent times.
Since the Slowpoke in Jupi Town didn't really need their tails for fishing, they had never been too lazy to resist, and didn't think there was anything wrong with the thing falling off.
But there was a problem with the one that Xiao Huang picked up.
"Its regenerative power seems to be stronger than other Slowpoke beasts. Its tail grows much faster. And because it is unlucky, its tail has been cut off many times..."
Regeneration requires nutrients, and the people in Juniper Town actually don't feed them too much food out of pampering, causing the Slowpoke to become slightly malnourished.
But this is still a small matter. The problem is that frequent tail docking makes the Slowpoke's wounds become infected, and the habitat is too humid, causing the infected parts to gradually develop lesions.
So Xiao Huang took it to the elf center.
After listening to the other party's story of rescuing Slowpoke, Ajin nodded: "So that's what happened. Outsiders need to find out if Slowpoke's tail is infected and inflamed. I don't think the people in Jupi Town love them much."
As soon as he said this, he was immediately met with malicious looks from some locals in the elf center, and Ajin stared back in dissatisfaction.
"But... maybe it's just a coincidence that I didn't notice it." Xiao Huang retorted in a voice as loud as a mosquito, "It's not entirely their fault."
After all, not everyone can understand the inner thoughts of the elf like Xiao Huang.
In fact, she was not the Slowpoke found outside the Well of Slowpoke, but used some special ability to learn about the situation from the elf.
The people of Jupik Town regard the Well of Slowpoke as a sacred place. They would not enter it at will unless there are special circumstances such as cleaning, but they would only send people to guard it nearby.
Due to the serious condition of the disease, the Slowpoke was actually so uncomfortable that it had not gone out or eaten for two or three days, so Xiao Huang secretly sneaked into the Well of Slowpoke to bring it out...
About an hour later, the trainers who had previously gone to investigate the Well of Slowpoke returned to the Elf Center one after another.
The two learned from their mouth that even though they had searched everything inside, they could not find anyone hiding inside.
I found a lot of Slowpoke with its tail cut off.
According to Mr. Steel's speculation, the criminal probably sneaked in during the night and cut off Slowpoke's tail.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he temporarily asked most of the people to wait in the elf center, planning to attack the prisoner from both inside and outside!
Seeing that the townspeople looked like they were going to fight to the death tonight, Ah Jin suddenly thought of intervening.
Although he felt that this incident was not caused by Hong Mao, but what if it happened?
If the townspeople caught the other person and sent him away to Junsha, wouldn't they have no chance to beat him up to get revenge and vent their anger?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the girl beside him: "Xiao Huang, if you look at the days, that red-haired thief should be nearby. Do you think he did this?"
After all, Xiaoyin has a criminal record.
"It seems possible?" Xiao Huang thought thoughtfully. From the Slowpoke's mouth, she learned that the color of the people who cut off their tails was very red.
Could it be that Slowpoke is referring to red hair?
Ajin nodded: "Yes, since the other party is a habitual offender, we can't act rashly! So I have an idea..."
…
While someone was deceiving the ignorant girl, Xiaozhi and his team were picking cones in the back mountain.
After returning to Mr. Steel's house, he found that the old man looked a little out of breath and had a very unfriendly expression.
After asking, he found out that the Slowpokes in the Well of Slowpoke had their tails cut off by the bad guys.
"This must have been done by Team Rocket!" Xiaoxia, who already had a personal grudge with the other party, was immediately indignant, "Xiaozhi, let's go, this time we must teach them a lesson - use Iron Tail to cut off Musashi's long hair!"
"Okay!" "Pikachu!"
"Wait!"
However, before Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia, who rushed out without thinking and took Pikachu out, went out, Mr. Steel called them back.
"Unplanned riots will only scare people away, and may even disturb those Slowpokes!"
Slowpokes are the faith of the people in Hinoki Town, and no mistakes are allowed.
"The Hinoki Gym Leader is away for now, and most of the trainers in the town are relatively weak, so I would like to ask you to sneak into the Well of Slowpoke and hide..."
Two gym leaders, one of whom is the runner-up of the Quartz Tournament and is also Professor Oak's man, are definitely stronger than the group of trainers in the town who only know how to play with bugs.
Let Chi, Kasumi and the other two go in and wait for the criminal to appear, and then attack directly with other trainers from inside and outside.
In this way, they should be able to catch the enemy without hurting the Slowpokes.
"No problem, Mr. Steel, just wait for our good news! We are best at dealing with Team Rocket!"
"Pika!"
Chi, Kasumi and the other two left immediately, planning to compete with Team Rocket after a long absence.
After the three reliable people left, Mr. Steel walked into the inner room holding the fruits they had picked.
Since outsiders have helped so much, why not help them get more Poké Balls.
Thinking of this, the old man accidentally glanced at the ancestral hall placed in the inner room.
But I found that the ancestral hall that enshrines the gods has undergone incredible changes!
I haven’t recovered from the cold yet...I will write one chapter today...
