Pokémon that goes with the flow

【Ding! Detected mission "Daily Battle": Conduct a Pokémon Duel 1/1, completed, and rewards are now distributed. 】

It turns out that it doesn’t matter if you lose. At least you completed the task and achieved your goal...

Hoshino, whose whole body was tied up with silk threads, with only one head exposed, was hanging upside down from a tree by a unicorn insect. Scorpio was in the same situation. The unicorn bug was chattering in front of the two hanging upside down.

"That is to say, Du..." Before the words could be spoken, the Unicorn Bug glared at Hoshino. Under the threatening gaze of the Unicorn Bug, Hoshino quickly changed his words, "Ah no, big brother, Lord Chong! "

"Alone~."

Seeing the one-horned bee nodding with satisfaction, Hoshino continued: "In other words, Master Chong, you want us to help you fight off another group of giant sting wasps occupying your territory?"

"Du~du~."

"You will let us down as long as we are willing to help?"

"Alone~"

The unicorn insect nodded, indicating that he meant what he said.

This puts Hoshino in a difficult position. After all, he has never been interested in such territorial battles, not to mention there is a more critical issue.

"Well, Lord Chong, I really want to help you, but we definitely can't defeat you..."

"alone?"

The one-horned insect looked at Hoshino with confusion, as if asking why.

"Although I don't know how strong those giant sting wasps are, but since they have beaten you away, Master Chong, they must be stronger than Master Chong, not to mention you are alone now. And I, Bobo, Scorpio The three of them combined are not as strong as you, how can they possibly beat you..."

"alone?!"

After hearing Hoshino's explanation, Master Chong showed a panicked look for the first time on his face, and he quickly asked Hoshino what to do.

"There's nothing I can do about this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hoshino suddenly noticed that Douda's tears kept rolling down from the eyes of the unicorn insect, and the latter lowered his head in despair. Then the spikes on the top of the horned insect's head shot out several needles, piercing the threads wrapping Hoshino and Scorpio, freeing them.

"Du~du~."

The one-horned bug didn't look up at them, indicating that Hoshino and the others could leave.

"I'm sorry, Lord Chong..."

Looking at the crying unicorn, Hoshino couldn't help it even if he couldn't bear it. He looked up at Scorpio, who was lying on his head. Scorpio also shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do, and reminded his trainer not to care about such things.

"Okay...but speaking of which, Lord Chong wants to take back his territory, right? There is obviously food around here but there are no Pokémon..."

Suddenly, Xingye felt excited and thought of some possibility.

"Wait! Could this be the leader of the Giant Needle Bee?"

"Buzz!!!"

[The Sting wasp, the poisonous bee Pokémon, evolved from the iron-shell pupa. It has a very strong sense of territory and sometimes appears in groups. The poisonous sting on its tail is very dangerous...]

A rapid buzzing sound interrupted Hoshino's thoughts. Hoshino and Scorpio looked towards the sound at the same time and found a large group of giant needle bees with red eyes rushing towards Hoshino and the others. The one-horned beetle glared at the group of giant needle wasps. It seemed that this group of giant needle bees was the target of the one-horned insect's revenge...

"...run!!!"

......

"Ha~ha~, finally gone..."

Hoshino, who was hiding in the bushes, looked at the giant stingray that was going away. He held his chest for the rest of his life and breathed in the fresh air. Then he looked gratefully at the young man who had just helped.

"You're welcome. It's a samurai's duty to help those in distress."

The young man said this and then stood up. Hoshino, who noticed the boy's movements, found that the giant needle bee had disappeared, so he also stood up from the bushes, and only then could he see the boy's appearance clearly.

The boy who was about the same height as him was wearing armor that looked like a warrior, but he had an insect net on his back.

"Thank you very much. If you hadn't just pulled me into the bushes, I still don't know if I could have escaped."

"Scorpion~Scorpion~"

"Alone~"

Scorpio and Unicorn on the side also thanked the young man. As for why the unicorn is here, it is naturally because Hoshino took the unicorn away by force. Although Hoshino knew that he shouldn't care about this kind of thing, he still couldn't bear it...

"I said you don't have to be so polite, samurai." After saying that, he glanced at Hoshino again, then turned around and continued: "For girls, it is still too dangerous to be alone in the forest. But now it is dark. It’s getting late, my home is not far away, if you have nowhere to go, you can stay at my house temporarily, and leave the forest early tomorrow, Nibi City is not far from here.”

"Okay, thank you for reminding me. My name is Xiaoxing. What is your name? So that I can repay you for saving my life."

"It's not necessary if I repay you. I also told you that I am a samurai, and my name is samurai."

"Um, good samurai." Hoshino thought for a while and continued, "By the way, I am a boy, although I am often mistaken for a girl."

"what!!!"

......

It was getting late, and Hoshino finally followed the samurai boy back to his home. The furnishings in his home are very simple. There is nothing else in the small wooden house except a cabinet and a table.

"So, is this unicorn beetle a member of the group of defeated giant needle wasps?" The samurai, who took off his warrior uniform and simply wore a vest and shorts, sat cross-legged on the ground, looking serious. Looking at the depressed unicorn.

"Yes, samurai, do you know something?"

"I'm not sure, but I've definitely heard something. I've been practicing as a warrior here, so I'm pretty familiar with the situation of Pokémon nearby." After a pause and some words, the warrior boy continued. said.

"There are two colonies of Giant Stingers nearby. Pokémon like Stitches are extremely exclusive and do not allow other Pokémon in their territory. But they are quite friendly to companions of the same race, even though they are two The giant needle bees are swarming, but they usually have a close relationship."

Having said this, the samurai boy glanced at the one-horned insect and then continued.

"But for some reason, just a few nights ago, the giant needle bees from the two colonies suddenly fought with each other. Maybe there was some conflict. In short, this fight between the two colonies also affected the people in the forest. Pokémon, there were only a few Pokémon around here, and now they are all scared away."

"Dude! Dude alone alone!!!"

After hearing what the samurai boy said, the originally depressed one-horned insect suddenly became angry and said something to the samurai boy.

The samurai boy was a little confused, but Hoshino was thoughtful.

"I see, that means they were the ones who made the first move? Suddenly, they attacked you in the middle of the night without any reason."

"Dude alone!"

"If it weren't for a sudden attack, and if everyone was unwilling to harm their companions, how could the territory be taken away so quickly... Well, calm down, calm down, Mr. Chong, please calm down."

Seeing the unicorn insect getting more and more excited as he talked, Hoshino gently stroked the top of its head to soothe its emotions. However, Hoshino can also understand. After all, his home was invaded and he escaped alone. It was not easy to sue the depression in his heart, and it was inevitable to lose control of his emotions.

Suddenly, the samurai boy's increased volume startled Hoshino. Hoshino looked up and found the samurai boy looking at him in surprise.

"Xiao Xing, do you understand what the one-horned insect is saying?!"
