Chapter 26: Finding the Cave, Ambushing!
Chapter 26: Finding the Cave, Ambushing!
“ˉ\\_(ツ)_/ˉ Chu (Of course you should learn from other Pokémon! Are you kidding me? There are Ivory Boars in this forest, okay!)”
………………
After a brief silence, Xiao Tie broke the eerie atmosphere.
"??????????? Jin? (Big brother? Are we really lovers?)"
"Your focus is still so strange!"
[(╯>д<)╯?˙3˙? Holy crap! The system can do this?! And you're just standing there watching?!]
"What the hell did you throw at me?!"
『(? ̄?? ̄??)?? Oh, yes, dear, you can learn from other elves. I don't think I said you couldn't~』
Qi Hao turned his head, put his hand on Xiao Tie's shoulder, and showed an embarrassed expression: "Tie, I might really be stupid."
Yes, Qi Hao was, after all, a transmigrator. In the game, skill learning can only be learned by leveling up or by using a learning machine. Occasionally, some versions allow you to learn skills from NPCs, but Qi Hao never thought of finding other Pokémon to teach him. Even though Xiao Tie's father had taught him things like Cannon and Beam Cannon, he still subconsciously ignored it.
"Stereotypes are deadly!" Qi Hao said, rubbing his nose while leaning against a tree. To be honest, he had a bit of a headache.
"? ????...Gold? (What the hell?)"
"Do you know what this means?" Qi Hao patted Xiao Tie.
However, given Xiao Tie's naiveté, he predictably replied, "Gold? (What is that now?)"
"If you find someone who knows electromagnetic levitation, you can fly!" Qi Hao was overjoyed!
However, their joy was short-lived, because the mouse spoke up.
"→_→ Chu! (Could there really be a Pokémon that can levitate in this snowy landscape?)"
"Ah, this...this...this..." For a moment, Qi Hao was stunned, but then he seemed to realize something. "Little Tie, surely some of your people can levitate! Those fifty-odd Metagross monsters should..."
"Jin! (If I had that, I would have learned it long ago!)"
"Friendly reminder: None of the fifty-odd Metagross monsters in the Metagross pack possess electromagnetic levitation abilities, because they don't need them."
"(*?▽?*) There should be... hahaha, haha, ha, damn!" Qi Hao couldn't hold back anymore; this made me look so silly!
"I don't believe it! Mouse! Are there any burrows or anything nearby? The deeper the better!"
The mouse, munching on a berry, scratched its head in confusion: "Chirp? (Why are you looking for a burrow?)"
"Looking for Magnemite? There must be caves in the forest, right?" Qi Hao looked around, checking his mental state. He wasn't very sleepy. "(???w?′?) I'm not going back today. Let's go! Let's set off now!"
After saying that, he grabbed the mouse and headed straight into the depths of the forest.
"Jin! (Big brother, you didn't take the box!)" Xiao Tie lifted the large, white box that blended into the snow with one hand.
"The compressed storage box has been detected to be off the ground. The watch mode has been switched according to the settings." An electronic voice came from the box, which then began to fold, finally turning into a white wristwatch on the small iron wrist.
"??Д?) Gold! (Wow, is this really cool?)"
"Xiao Tie, keep up! Take that thing with you for now! Let's find Magnemite first!" Qi Hao called from afar. Xiao Tie saw that his watch was still on and ignored him, following Qi Hao at a leisurely pace.
This watch was delivered by Song Chenggong a few days ago. He used a drone to deliver it directly to Qi Hao's doorstep. It has a one-cubic-meter compressed space, and it will automatically unfold its internal space when placed on the ground. It also has some other miscellaneous functions, such as telling time. But this thing can be used by the elf, which can locate and call for help. It is also easy to operate.
"(?????) Mouse, where are the burrows around here? You're a burrower, you should know a thing or two, right?"
The mouse pointed to the ground, then pointed to the north and south with both hands. "Chirp. (I, the mouse, prefer to live underground. What does this have to do with caves? But this area isn't very big. There are only four caves in total. The ones on the east and west are smaller and have been divided between the Ivory Boar Clan and the Nine-Tailed Clan. As for the two on the south and north, you can choose one yourself.)"
Xiao Tie looked in the direction he pointed and saw that their footprints were still there. "Jin? (Do you think it's possible that the one to the south is our home?)"
"Isn't this great? We can just head north." But since it had gotten dark by now, and the surroundings were pitch black, making it difficult to discern directions...
"This is too dark. Watch, conjure up a powerful flashlight." Then, the ID card in Qi Hao's hand folded and transformed, and a small, powerful flashlight appeared in Qi Hao's hand. As expected of technology from 500 years in the future, awesome plus.
The road was suddenly illuminated, but such a bright light in the darkness would naturally attract some unexpected things, such as... such as our hamster.
"Chirp? (What is this thing?)" the mouse made a sound of surprise, as if it had never seen anything like it before.
"Chirp! (Let me see!)" The mouse, relying on its speed, snatched the flashlight from Qi Hao's hand in a flash! So fast! And it fell down just as fast!
"The item being detected is not in your possession. Scanning initiated. The detection indicates the item was stolen. Knockdown procedure initiated!"
“∑(?Д??)Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp! (Help help help help help me!)” Goodness, Qi Hao thought he had been electrocuted and was now speaking human language.
A flash of lightning, and the mouse lay on the ground, puffing out white smoke.
"Why are you so curious?" Qi Hao picked up the "culprit" from the ground. "-_-|| Don't use electric shocks next time!"
"Understood, instructions received. Kill mode activated."
"Σ( ° △ °|||)︴Stop, stop, stop, what the hell is kill mode?!"
"Just kidding, ha, haha," a mechanical, toneless voice tried to ease the tension.
"You're fucking a monster!"
"AI settings; you can turn them off if you don't like them."
"So, after following me for five years, I didn't even know you had built-in AI?"
"This device responds to any instruction it receives, and as per regulations, I cannot speak proactively or make any decisions for the owner unless absolutely necessary."
"So it's my problem?"
The watch stopped talking; this AI understands human relationships.
"Jin? (Big brother, what are you doing?)" Xiao Tie, who arrived late, asked Qi Hao, who was standing there in a daze. Then, seeing the rat on the ground that was blackened by the electric shock and was still paralyzed, he asked, "(°Д°≡°Д°) Were you attacked? Where are the enemies?"
"There are no enemies. He brought it on himself. Just take a few cherry fruits from the box and stuff them into his mouth."
Then Xiao Tie pressed a button on his watch, and a box the size of a cubic meter unfolded on the spot. He then grabbed a cherry and stuffed it into the mouse's mouth.
Released from its paralysis, the mouse shakily stood up. "(;′??Д??`) Chirp! (What's going on today! Twice!)
Xiao Tie packed up the box: "Jin! (You're just a noob! If you were as tough as me, could you have fallen twice?)"
Don't ask why Xiao Tie is so tough, because he's also been electrocuted, but he had already completed anti-paralysis training, so he only felt a little itchy.
Just as they were chatting, two enormous figures suddenly emerged from the bushes! It was a sneak attack!
