Chapter 115 Munchlax vs. Houndoom! A Pokémon Battle for Litten! (Not a Pokémon Spectrum)
Ye Yinchuan saw two Derubis chasing a Firefly.
Houndoom is a Dark/Fire-type dog Pokémon, and it's a whole size larger than Litten.
Litten seemed to be running out of energy and was about to be surrounded by Derubi, letting out angry, tense, and defiant roars.
"Firefly Cat, come here!"
Ye Yinchuan called out.
The Fire-spotted Cat looked up, its eyes showing some reluctance, but the Derubi pounced on it, leaving it with nowhere to escape but to dart toward Ye Yinchuan.
"First round, second round, don't let it get away!"
A command rang out, and it was none other than Deruby's master.
"So, someone ordered these two Lunastra to try and catch Litten?"
Ye Yinchuan's expression shifted.
These two Houndooms are clearly not stray Pokémon; they have glossy fur, robust builds, and even wear collars around their necks.
"Aww!"
Two Derubis howled.
This is a signal that they are working together to hunt.
One continued its relentless pursuit, while the other charged straight ahead from the opposite diagonal, cutting off the Firefly's retreat.
In the previous chase, the two Derubis used similar methods to keep the Litten exhausted.
They couldn't win a fight, and they couldn't escape!
"Meow!"
During its escape, the Firefly also saw another Derubi trying to intercept it. It panicked and didn't notice a hole in the rubber track. It tripped and stumbled.
This slight obstruction allowed Deruby behind them to quickly catch up.
Just as Derubi opened its mouth, revealing sharp canines, and extended its claws with bone-like bracers, it was about to pin Litten to the ground—
"Click!"
The little Snorlax made its move.
The little Snorlax wasn't much taller than Zephyr, but its body, when stretched out horizontally, resembled a small mountain, exuding a sense of oppression.
Its shadow enveloped the Litten, causing the Litten's frightened eyes to relax somewhat.
"It's alright, Flamehead Cat."
Ye Yinchuan stood beside Litten, facing another Derubi that was flanking him from behind. His determined gaze held a warning.
"Meow……"
Firefly looked around, its expression somewhat subtle.
Now, it is protected on both sides: on one side is this human, and on the other side is the blue fat cat it knows.
The human and the beast, like two towering city walls, work together to protect the Fire-Spotted Cat.
Realizing this, Litten's eyes shone slightly and softened.
Pokémon also have emotions.
At this moment, Litten felt surprised, heartwarming, and touched!
When I was in danger, a friend I met yesterday came to my protection!
"What's wrong with you? We were about to capture that Litsea Cat! Get out of the way!"
Deruby's owner also arrived.
He jogged along and, upon seeing the situation, his expression turned somewhat grim.
"This fire-spotted cat is my friend. What do you mean by 'taming' it? Besides, ganging up on someone is just too unethical, isn't it?"
Hearing that the other party wanted to capture the Fire-spotted Cat, Ye Yinchuan's heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, with such a top-tier fire-type starter Pokémon running around everywhere, it's impossible that only he had his eye on it.
Since they were competitors, Ye Yinchuan was not going to back down either.
At the same time, he was also thinking about what he had to offer to win over the Fire Spotted Cat.
Fortunately, the opponents weren't particularly strong either. These two Derubis were level 8 and level 9, respectively, not so powerful as to be despairing.
Deruby's owner is a young man, but both his expression and his clothes have a touch of the social world.
Looking at Ye Yinchuan's expression, he was quite displeased.
"Hey, what do you mean 'your friend'? Do you have any proof? Pokémon are just pets, what do you mean 'friends'? That's hilarious! Are you in elementary school? Get out of the way so I can catch it!"
As he spoke, Deruby's owner pulled out a red and white ball.
"I refuse."
Ye Yinchuan remained resolute; he would never give up this Fire Spotted Cat so easily.
Moreover, the other person's words already indicated that they were not a very friendly person towards Pokémon.
Given Litten's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for it to submit to this kind of person.
Even if there were, it was out of necessity!
Whether for personal reasons or to protect the Firefly, Ye Yinchuan would not back down an inch.
"What's wrong, Chaochao? Haven't you caught it yet? Didn't you say you were going to catch this firefly cat right away and give it to me?"
Another person walked over.
This is a stylish young girl with pink hair, an exposed chest with a faint cat paw tattoo, manicured nails, earrings, and even a lip piercing, giving her a slightly rebellious air.
What caught Ye Yinchuan's attention even more was that she had tied a cat to the ground with a rope.
The cat looked very uncomfortable, scratching at its collar with its paws from time to time, and its expression was listless.
It seems that this young man named "Chaochao" wants to catch this firefly cat so that he can give it to this pink-haired woman.
However, for Ye Yinchuan, it would be a bad thing for the Fire Spotted Cat to fall into the hands of either Chaochao or Pinky.
"BoBo-chan, don't worry, I'll get it done right away! You'll have this Flame-Spotted Cat soon!"
"Okay, hurry up, I can't wait any longer. The sun is getting stronger, I need to go home."
Listening to the two talking to themselves, Ye Yinchuan whispered to Firefly:
"Fire-spotted Cat, don't worry, I'll protect you."
The Fire-spotted Cat seemed to understand, and moved closer to Ye Yinchuan's feet, indicating that it was seeking protection.
"Hey! Stop talking nonsense! If you don't hand over Litten, I'm challenging you to a Pokémon battle! If you're a man, let's decide who gets Litten in a one-on-one fight!"
"Pokémon battles...?"
Having left school, Ye Yinchuan hadn't heard such a statement in a long time.
The so-called "Pokémon battles" are simply Pokémon battles used to decide things such as power struggles, personal grudges, unresolved disputes, or even the ownership of certain items and Pokémon.
Pokémon battles are still quite rare in everyday life.
It's usually young people in school who like to do these kinds of cringeworthy things.
In addition, Pokémon battles are quite popular among professional trainers and some trainer circles that aim to become professionals.
A typical scenario is that two people arguing online eventually propose an offline duel, a royal city battle, which basically turns into a Pokémon duel.
In the Wild West, cowboys duel with guns; in Europe, nobles duel with swords; in this Pokémon world, people duel with Pokémon!
In a way, the fact that students in schools enjoy Pokémon battles is also influenced by this battle culture...
Of course, for professional trainers, Pokémon battles are also a regular activity, but they are often accompanied by certain conditions or stakes.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? If you're too scared to fight, then just admit defeat and hand over the Firefly. Don't waste everyone's time!"
The pink-haired woman, nicknamed "BoBo-chan," rolled her eyes and retorted.
"You're actually quite handsome, act more like a man!"
When Bobo said Ye Yinchuan was handsome, Chaochao next to her glanced at her in surprise, and then looked at Ye Yinchuan with more hostility and jealousy.
"Wait...you look familiar, you're Kirby's Mirror!"
Pink Hair suddenly turned her head and looked at Ye Yinchuan in disbelief.
Ye Yinchuan was also stunned for a moment. He was completely dumbfounded when the other party praised him for being handsome. It was like being in the middle of an argument and not being able to get angry at all.
Now, the other party actually recognized him.
Could it be one of their own fans?
"Chaochao, it's him! He's the one who got my favorite streamer, 'Star Chaser,' permanently banned! And he even banned my account from his stream!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's mind went blank, as if he knew who this pink-haired person was.
Damn it, it's that troll who appeared in my own live stream, Taro Boba Sauce!
"Case solved! It turns out you were the one who lured Brother Zhaixing here to cause trouble in my livestream!"
Ye Yinchuan's fists hardened.
Although Brother Zhaixing was practically carrying a lantern to the toilet—he was courting death! (Looking for shit!)
It even contributed to its own stream of gifts and traffic.
However, Ye Yinchuan had absolutely no goodwill towards people who sowed discord and stirred up trouble for no reason; in fact, he was quite disgusted by them.
Chaochao's expression turned somewhat subtle upon hearing this.
Actually, as a suitor of Taro Boba Sauce, he was still annoyed by that Star-Picking Bro., who, relying on his status as a streamer and minor internet celebrity, wanted to meet Taro Boba Sauce offline every day. As a man, he didn't know what Star-Picking Bro was up to.
Now look what's happened; "Star-Picking Bro" has been banned and disappeared without a trace.
In a way, this person in front of me has also helped me get rid of a rival in love.
But...on the other hand, this guy is handsome, and I think he's a streamer too...
However, upon hearing that Taro Boba Sauce seemed to have a grudge against Ye Yinchuan, Chaochao felt relieved.
"BoBo-chan, don't worry, I'll definitely get revenge for you today and teach this guy who bullied you a lesson!"
Chaochao patted his chest and said confidently:
"My Ruby isn't someone to be trifled with. But if it weren't for the fact that my strongest Mega Beetle was taken away by the Dream Protection Bureau last time for scaring passersby when it was let out without a leash, it wouldn't dare to act so recklessly towards me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yinchuan's expression turned strange.
So, this Super Super has three Deviljho, named Big Devil, Little Devil, and one Super Devil, right...?
But that makes sense.
My Munchlax is at such a low level because of special circumstances.
To be able to raise so many Dewpi, Chaochao's conditions must be pretty good; it shouldn't be that his Dewpi is only level 8 or 9. His main Dewpi is probably the one he raises.
"Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that the Pokémon I used to raise either ran away from home or were sold to me by unscrupulous merchants who sold me defective products that were sick and died, I would probably have Pokémon that are super powerful now."
It makes me so angry. Last time, the seller sent me a cat with no special characteristics, so I just left it at the rest stop.
That innkeeper is such a pain. Why didn't he just return it to the merchant? Anyway, I've been ripped off enough, and I'm never raising a Pokémon that's already no good again!
The streamer was speechless, even calling that cat a "tech expert"—what kind of characteristic is that? I think all these streamers, the innkeeper, and those unscrupulous merchants are in cahoots!
Taro Boba Sauce spoke very quickly, smacking her lips as she stomped her feet and rattled off a whole bunch of things. Because of her exaggerated movements, she even bumped into the cat next to her.
This made the already uncomfortable cat even more uncomfortable.
"Damn! It's you!"
From the ramblings about taro boba sauce, Ye Yinchuan finally pieced together the complete picture.
Damn it, it turns out that the irresponsible female customer who dumped Miaomiao on the innkeeper, Ah Wen, was this Taro Boba Sauce.
Judging from the meaning of this taro boba sauce, they even turned around and accused themselves and Ah Wen of being unscrupulous business owners?
Okay, okay, it's true that there are unscrupulous merchants, but Ah Wen and I are really innocent!
For a moment, Ye Yinchuan felt very wronged.
But he quickly realized that this pink-haired guy was by no means kind either.
I remember Ah Wen said that after she learned that Meow Meow was a "tech expert", she went to the station to demand it and cause trouble.
If the other party was convinced from the beginning that she and Ah Wen were in cahoots with the merchant, then why did she go to get the cat back?
To put it bluntly, isn't it just about wanting both?
Knowing that Meowth had no special ability, I wanted to abandon it, but later I found out that its ability was good, so I wanted to bring it back!
Even worse, the other party later came to his own live stream and launched a mindless attack.
It was because Ah Wen's attitude was so tough that she got angry and made up some excuses to vent her anger in her own live stream!
Besides, with so many highlight clips in her own live stream, wouldn't she take a look?
Whether it's mindless criticism without any understanding, or deliberate fault-finding, is quite intriguing.
Ye Yinchuan doesn't believe there's no element of sour grapes involved.
Not to mention, given this woman's nature, the seller might never have promised that the cat they sent would have special characteristics; she's just being unreasonable!
"Yes, that's most likely the case..."
Ye Yinchuan had no intention of arguing or explaining himself to the two people in front of him. He simply said with a cold look in his eyes:
"While I don't agree that Litten can be used as a wager, it seems you won't give up until we have a Pokémon battle today?"
"Of course, we're taking this Flame Cat. You're a streamer, you wouldn't use your fans to bully two ordinary people like us, would you? If this gets out online, it won't be good for your reputation."
Pinky took out her phone and started taking pictures of Ye Yinchuan.
Classic, absolutely classic!
In this era of highly developed internet, some people seem to have a misunderstanding: whoever takes a picture with their phone is in the right, and then can post the video online and cyberbully the other party based on their own words? They even think that taking out a phone can intimidate the other party.
This applies not only to the Pokémon world, but also to the events before Ye Yinchuan's transmigration.
This reminded Ye Yinchuan.
He picked up his phone and took a picture as well:
"Yes, I'm a streamer with 10,000 followers, but this fire-spotted cat is my friend. We agreed to meet here, and I even brought food to feed it."
Of course I wouldn't bully you two... uh, ordinary people, just because I'm a streamer.
However, I won't give up my Litten just because I'm a streamer. Since you guys said you wanted a Pokémon battle, I agreed.
"It's settled then, a bet's a bet. If I win, you leave. If I lose, I leave too. However, whether we can ultimately subdue Litten depends on our individual abilities, how about it?"
Ye Yinchuan has nothing to fear from a clear conscience, but he still needs to preserve evidence.
To prevent the other party from cheating, as long as you win the duel, even if they call the police, you won't be in the wrong.
Or the other party might post the video online, causing cyberbullying.
As long as you have evidence and haven't made any mistakes, believe that netizens have discerning eyes and the truth will eventually come to light.
"Hehe, good! Although my Grand Tournament and Minor Tournament are not as good as the Super Tournament, any one of my chosen fighters can still defeat you!"
Chaochao is very confident.
He knows a lot about Pokémon like Houndoom and is very confident in his training.
Ye Yinchuan, isn't he the same?
Although Munchlax's level is a bit low, don't forget...
Houndoom's base stat total is 330, while Munchlax's base stat total is 390, a whole level difference.
It can only be said that the food that Munchlax ate was not for nothing; every bite was effectively converted into weight and strength.
In some ways, Munchlax's approach is perfectly sound.
Eat well and become stronger so you can protect your master!
Ye Yinchuan and Munchlax had almost no experience in Pokémon battles.
But he believes that battling is a Pokémon's instinct, and that Munchlax is trustworthy.
Back when it was Snorlax, it was able to rush out to protect itself without hesitation when faced with Tauros charging at high speed, and it learned "Spherical".
Ye Yinchuan believes that Munchlax has the potential to win battles!
"Kirby, for me, for Litten, are you willing to battle?"
"Click!"
The little Snorlax waved its hands, indicating that it was very willing and even rubbed its hands together, eager for a chance to show off.
It should be noted that although Munchlax had just finished training, it absorbed a large amount of Pokémon energy and leveled up twice.
I'm definitely a little tired, but I'm fine in battles.
Besides, the opponent's Dewynn had been chasing Litten for so long, and it had also expended a lot of energy.
Therefore, overall, it was a fair match.
In addition, Ye Yinchuan, who is always meticulous and cautious, also kept two things in mind.
the first.
He only said that if he lost, he would leave; he didn't say he would completely give up on Litten.
After all, even if you lose the battle, you can let Litten find a chance to escape. Whether the opponent can find it or not, or even if they do, whether they can catch it, is another matter.
I still have a chance.
second.
Ye Yinchuan was already preparing to use [Heavenly Hand] to harass the opponent's Deruby.
As for fairness...
Ye Yinchuan can only say that there is no absolute fairness in this world.
I never considered myself a gentleman.
For your own sake, and for the happiness of Litten, what's wrong with using underhanded tactics?
Besides, I thought your Deluxe was nice, so I couldn't resist touching it. So what?
"You're the one for the grand competition!"
"Go Kirby!"
Without much hesitation, the two decided to settle their differences.
People nearby, seeing that a Pokémon battle was about to take place, couldn't help but come over to see what was going on.
"Wow, it's a Munchlax! That's a very rare Pokémon; most people can't afford to keep one!"
"This Ruby is also very good; it's healthy and has a great presence!"
With an audience present, Chaochao became even more tense; if he lost, he would be utterly humiliated.
"start!"
Bobo-chan took on the role of temporary referee.
Even though it was just a slogan.
"Click!"
"Whoa!"
The two Pokémon soon collided.
As it charged forward, Dewpi unleashed the moves "Leer" and "Howl" to boost its own momentum and attack power, while also attempting to intimidate Munchlax and affect the latter's performance, aiming for a balance of power.
"Kirby, slam and lick!"
Ye Yinchuan issued the order.
Since it lacked combat training, Munchlax's two moves didn't coordinate very well.
Even the little Snorlax was momentarily stunned and forgot to use Tackle.
And it just stuck out its tongue without gathering any spirit energy, licked Derubi, but it had no real effect and was meaningless!
"Newbie!"
Chaochao laughed, surprised that his opponent was so weak.
Seizing the opportunity, Dewpi pounced and scratched and bit the little Snorlax.
Before the little Snorlax could retract its tongue, it slid its tongue across it, drawing blood instantly!
"Kirby!"
Ye Yinchuan tensed up instantly.
Chaochao and Bobo-chan, with smiles on their faces, were determined to win.
Those watching shook their heads. It seemed that this little Snorlax was poorly trained, or even had no combat experience at all.
Ye Yinchuan felt extremely distressed, realizing he had been too optimistic.
Just as I was about to use [Heavenly Hands], I saw that Snorlax's eyes had turned red from the pain.
"Click!"
With a roar, as Dewpi charged forward again, Snorlax grabbed Dewpi and threw it away.
(Thoughts: Ugh! I hurt Kirby's tongue while he was eating! Kirby is really angry!)
The moment it was thrown, Snorlax charged forward, gathering its Pokémon energy and launching a charge—
When training his physical fitness through running, Ye Yinchuan would occasionally have Munchlax use Tackle while running, and it was quite effective so far!
"Aww!"
Deruby was hit and flew out before even landing, crashing heavily to the ground.
This is considered secondary damage...
Immediately, it was in so much pain that it rolled on the ground and could barely stand up.
"Click!"
The little Snorlax was still furious; the pain in its tongue fueled its rage.
Its shadow loomed over Deruby on the ground, causing the latter's originally fierce eyes to begin to show panic—
The sense of oppression is overwhelming!
"Is this the fat guy's strength... or is it just a glutton's obsession with rice?"
Ye Yinchuan was dumbfounded.
The hand that had been raised was silently lowered again.
It seems that Munchlax is stronger than it imagined, and it doesn't need to cheat to win.
"Enough! I give up!"
Seeing that Snorlax was about to attack Dewpi, Chaochao rushed over and admitted defeat.
"Kirby, stop! The battle is over!"
At Ye Yinchuan's command, the little Snorlax immediately stopped, turned its head, and gave Ye Yinchuan a simple and honest smile.
Fierce to enemies, but loyal to its owner, this is Ye Yinchuan's beloved Munchlax!
Derubi tried to launch a sneak attack, but Chaochao covered her mouth:
"That's enough, Deruby. You've done a great job. We've lost."
Seeing this, Ye Yinchuan also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"It seems you're quite friendly towards your Dewynn. Then you should be able to understand a little bit that Litten is my friend, and I can't just stand by and watch you try to capture it. Since you've lost, you can leave now."
"Okay, Deruby, let's go. Bobo-chan, let's go."
Chaochao's face burned, but she didn't respond to Ye Yinchuan's words, simply accepting her loss.
"No! I refuse! Even if I don't get Litten, I won't believe that Litten is his friend! Chaochao, you're useless. If you lose, just leave! I'm not counting on you anymore. I'm going to stay and see if he can tame this Litten!"
The taro boba sauce is quite stubborn.
That also fits the impression she left on Ye Yinchuan.
"Do whatever you want, just don't affect me. We've already recorded a video, and so many people witnessed it. You don't want to be accused of going back on your word, do you? Even if you call the police, you're in the wrong!"
Ye Yinchuan warned.
The Pokémon battle that just took place attracted quite a few passersby.
"Ugh!"
Chaochao lost the match, and Taro Boba Sauce said it was no use. He was disheartened at that moment.
But he didn't leave; he stood there silently.
I also want to see if Ye Yinchuan can actually tame this Fire Spotted Cat!
The update is a bit late. I originally wanted to write about the treasure appraisal storyline, but I still haven't made enough progress. I haven't finished collecting the Firefly Cat's storyline yet... I specifically noted this in the title. I said I would appraise the treasure soon... Sorry, just consider this me writing too much and being delirious, rambling on and on!
