Chapter 82 Teething Stick, GetDAZE!
Chapter 82 Teething Stick, Get☆DA☆ZE...Woof!
It didn't take much time and energy to sweep Team Rocket, which was entrenched in the Pokémon Tower. However, after receiving the news from Joey (the appearance of Lavender Town), Junsha, who was on a mission near the Rock Mountain Tunnel, responded even faster.
When Zhou You and Qing Lu walked out of the Pokémon Tower, Junsha had already arrived at the scene with the few police officers in Lavender Town.
The two decisively handed over the remaining mess to them, and went back to the Pokémon Center to rest comfortably.
As we all know, the favorite tasks of battle-crazed players/adventurers are simple and direct rushes. They have always been disgusted with tasks such as guarding, escorting, cleaning up the mess, collecting items, and delivering information.
"Walking from Golden City to Lavender Town on foot, staying up all night to upgrade Team Rocket, I feel particularly tired today."
Although they are adults according to the laws of the alliance, Zhou You and Qing Lu are still 10-year-old minors after all, and staying up all night is still too harmful to their bodies.
Therefore, after returning from the Pokémon Tower, they did not continue to talk about Team Rocket's actions and big plans.
Zhou You, who was planning to rest directly, had just entered the Pokémon Center when a figure rushed towards him anxiously.
"Caracara!" The little Caracara, who was also exhausted by the attack of Team Rocket, had been waiting for him until now.
"It's worried about you." Miss Joy of Jinye revealed while eating supper in front of the stage, "Since you left, this Caracara has been looking at the direction you left and was restless."
"If you ask me, since you are a trainer, you can just adopt this Caracara, otherwise it may be in danger even if it is released into the wild."
The wild environment is very harsh for solitary Pokémon like Caracara. Pokémon that are hungry and full often have a very short lifespan, and they are likely to be killed or preyed on by natural enemies every day.
For example, Vulture Na will prey on Caracara and use their bones to build nests.
Although there are no such elves in Guandu, their lives are not much more comfortable because of this. The rampant and rampant Rocket Team and elf hunters are always their biggest threats.
"Is that so? You like me so much?" Zhou You bent down and knocked on its skull.
"Kara..." Karakara showed an expectant look.
Having saved himself and his dying mother from the hands of the Rocket Team, the human in front of him undoubtedly gave him a very high sense of security.
Although the Caterpie that has been staring at the bones in his hand is a bit annoying, if he lets this human be his father... it's not a bad idea.
Huh? Why doesn't that stinky dog covet my bones?
Karakara looked at the Caterpie behind Zhou You curiously.
"Woof?" The latter seemed to be holding something that was much stronger than the bones of the gala gala and grinding his teeth with great interest.
Zhou You:?
He looked in the direction Karakara was looking.
What the hell did this dog just pick up when it was dark and he couldn't take care of it! ?
The thing that Leftovers was holding in his mouth was actually a brown ancient sword with a blue ribbon on the hilt and a ghost-face-like pattern engraved on it!
"What did you pick up in the Pokémon Tower? Shut up, stupid dog! This thing is probably someone else's offering to the deceased Pokémon, not your teething stick!"
"(Dumb) Woof..."
Hearing Zhou You's reprimand, Leftovers showed a wise look of doubt about dog life, and the brown ancient sword in his mouth also fell to the floor with a clang.
Arthur, who was a little excited because of the battle just now and had not returned to the Poké Ball, came up.
"(Looking closely) Wow?"
It picked up the ancient sword curiously, avoiding the place on the scabbard where Leftovers' saliva was left, and pulled it hard!
With a clang, the ancient sword was immediately unsheathed!
"Quack!"
The Farfetch'd that Zhou You had collected in the ball sensed a trace of sword energy and jumped out of the Poké Ball spontaneously.
Who is emitting the sword intent duck? This sword?
In stark contrast to its ancient and heavy appearance, the blade of this ancient sword is exceptionally smooth and new. In addition, its blade is blunt and uncut, so it should be just a replica collection.
This further confirms Zhou You's guess that it is an offering.
"Why does this sword feel a little strange?" But Zhou You soon felt something unusual.
After the ancient sword was unsheathed, a certain cold and gloomy atmosphere seemed to linger around them.
It was just like...
"Hurry, throw it away!" Joey put down his chopsticks and shouted anxiously, "That is the cursed sword suppressed by the prayer master in the barrier of the fifth floor of the Pokémon Tower!"
"(Shocked) Wow!" Arthur was so scared by Joey that he immediately threw away the ancient sword.
...
Until Joey explained, everyone knew that the sword in front of them was not an ordinary thing, but a cursed item that would absorb the vitality of the holder through the blue ribbon on the hilt.
According to the judgment of the prayer master of Ziyuan Town, it is possessed by the ancient soul that died at its hands. It wanders in the mortal world and will continue to plunder the vitality of the living.
Because of this, the prayer masters placed it in the barrier on the fifth floor of the Pokémon Tower, hoping to suppress and weaken its power, and eventually help the soul above to re-enter the reincarnation.
Looking at the scabbard and ancient sword on the ground, everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they were all a little at a loss.
"It's okay, just leave it there and don't worry about it."
Finally, Joey sighed: "I will ask the prayer master to put it back in its place tomorrow morning. Qiao Qiao, you must keep an eye on this Caterpie next time and don't let it pick up things randomly."
"Woo woo woo..."
Realizing that he almost made a big mistake, the leftovers lay on the ground in frustration.
"I will definitely teach it a lesson and stop picking up random things, but this sword doesn't seem to be as simple as the prayer master said."
With Joey's explanation, Zhou You, who had just awakened some memories, took out the illustrated book and scanned the ancient sword on the ground-
"Ding Ding~ Single Sword Scabbard, Sword Pokémon, Steel + Ghost attribute. The physical endurance is amazing, even if the Hercules Pokémon hits it with all its strength, it is difficult to leave a scratch.
"It is said that it was born from the soul of the dead living in the ancient sword, but recent studies have shown that this is actually a special mimicry. The blue part on the sword guard is its body, and it will use the silk of the hilt to absorb the host's vitality.
"Note: Only trainers with 4 badges or above can tame it. Please report to the nearest police station after catching it. Trainers with a history of heart disease and other diseases are strictly prohibited from holding this Pokémon."
Joey: "..."
So the group of prayer masters in the town actually made a complete misjudgment, but the practice of putting it in the barrier was a lucky coincidence?
"This Pokémon seems interesting, Miss Joy. Whether it is ownerless or not after being thrown into the barrier, I will just take it away?"
"Take it away if you like it. Remember to report to Junsha." Joy, who was only interested in ghosts and not ghost-type Pokémons, felt helpless and said.
"Kara!" Kara Kara looked at the leftovers angrily.
Why did you pick up a Pokémon when you could pick up something else!
"Crack, crack, crack, crack..."
Ignoring Kara Kara's complaining gaze, the leftovers, after listening to the explanation of the illustrated book, lay down on the harmless scabbard and gnawed it without stopping.
