Pokémon that goes with the flow

Unknowingly, the time has come to night. Following the guidance of the system, the surrounding forest begins to gradually shrink. Standing on the hillside, the roofs of the buildings can be vaguely seen in the distance.

But the sky, which was originally thought to be raining heavily for a long time, gradually subsided not long after, as if the power of the sky had been exhausted by that astonishing lightning.

"We're finally going to Viridian City. Ash and Pikachu are there... Huh? What is that?"

Looking in the direction of Joban City, Hoshino suddenly noticed a black shadow flying in the sky, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to him.

boom--! ! !

Accompanied by a loud noise, before Hoshino could react, the black shadow had fallen not far ahead.

【Ding! The target is detected and the mission "Another Legend" is now released: Encounter with Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow 0/1, reward money +1000. (Who says the protagonist must be the protagonist)]

"Um, what happened?"

Looking at the mission suddenly released by the system, Hoshino clearly felt that it was related to the black shadow that had just fallen. Would you like to go and take a look?

"Scorpion~!"

While Hoshino was still thinking, Scorpio had already flown in front of Hoshino, seemingly wanting to explore the way ahead by himself.

"Scorpio, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. It's better for me to go with you, so that we can take care of each other."

"Scorpion~"

Scorpio nodded, but did not fly back to Hoshino's head. Instead, he continued to fly in front of him, guarding the surroundings.

As he got closer to where the black shadow had just fallen, he could gradually hear some sounds, as if someone was talking. Hoshino and Scorpio lay down on the ground in tacit understanding, and using the cover of the trees, they quietly observed the figures hanging on the trees in front of them.

[Meowth, the monster cat Pokémon. He will collect coins and other items to treasure, and when he sees spherical objects, he will forget time and play non-stop...]

"Damn little devil!" a woman who didn't know how much hairspray was used on her long red hair said angrily. Even if she was hung upside down, her exaggerated hairstyle remained unchanged.

"We were defeated by a kid..." A blue-haired young man who looked like a good old man said with a frustrated look.

"But having said that, that Pikachu is really powerful." A strange cat named Meow seemed not as depressed as the other two. Although it was hanging upside down at this time, it still talked to itself, " If we capture that Pikachu and present it to Boss Sakaki!"

It seemed that they were aroused by Miao Miao's words. The two people who were still angry or sad before swept away their negative emotions. Their eyes twinkled with little stars of hope, while Miao Miao continued.

"The boss will definitely say: 'Awesome! What a powerful Pikachu! With such a powerful Pikachu, I can roll around on the grass with joy. Conquering the world is no longer a dream! By the way! You must do it well Reward Meowth, Musashi, and Kojiro for bringing me such a powerful Pokémon! The boss will definitely praise our Meowth like this~!"

"Upgrade to become a cadre!"

"Take office as branch chief!"

“What a great feeling!”

The two people and the cat seemed to have forgotten that they were still trapped, and had begun to smile uncontrollably at the wonderful future they imagined, without even noticing that their saliva was drooling.

Seeing the strange performance of the three of them like comedians, Hoshino had already silently backed down. After all, the three of them were very troublesome at first sight.

【Ding! It is detected that the mission "Another Legend" has been completed and the rewards are now distributed. 】

【Ding! It is detected that the host has completed the first task. The system upgrade will now begin. During this period, the system cannot be used. The estimated upgrade time is: 5 hours. 】

Anyway, the mission is completed, so it’s better not to get involved with these three strange people, oh no, two people and one cat.

Hoshino, who was thinking this way, looked at Scorpio beside him, only to find that Scorpio had already buried his head on the ground, covering his face with his hands, and his body could not stop shaking.

"Scorpio you..."

Looking at the abnormal Scorpio, Hoshino asked softly with some concern, while slowly reaching out to Scorpio with a hand.

"Scorpion~! Scorpion scorpion scorpion scorpion~!!!"

Before he could touch Scorpio, Scorpio suddenly burst into ear-splitting laughter and rolled on the ground. It seemed that he had already reached the limit of his holding capacity and could no longer bear it.

Such an obvious move naturally attracted the attention of the two people and the cat hanging on the tree, pulling them out of their fantasy.

"Who! Who is there!!!"

"Ah, this was discovered..."

Knowing that he could no longer hide, Hoshino simply emerged from the grass, waved to the Rocket trio as if nothing was wrong, turned around and left with Scorpio still smiling in his arms.

"I'm sorry, I disturbed your rehearsal, you continue, you continue, I won't disturb you, I will leave first~"

"Wait! What did that Pokémon in your arms say?! We are not funny comedians! We are the evil Team Rocket, meow!"

Hearing the angry cry of the meow behind him, Hoshino paused for a moment, covered Scorpio's mouth, and then quickened his pace and left without looking back.

"Meow, you're going to scare this little girl! Oh wait, little girl! Don't leave yet! Help us!"

Watching the girl's retreating figure, the red-haired woman quickly called to Hoshino.

Perhaps her call for help had an effect, Hoshino finally stopped, sighed inwardly, and slowly turned around.

...Hey~, before I could just pretend I didn't see it, but now it's obvious that I'm asking for help, so I can't just sit idly by and do nothing...

"What's wrong? Beautiful big sister, do you need any help?"

The girl in front of her seemed to have changed. Her big, watery eyes stared at the three of them unabashedly. Her gentle but bright smile was reassuring, and her sweet voice also dispelled their inner irritability.

The unknown Pokémon in her arms who were still laughing just now seemed to become much more pleasing to the eye. Their eyes shone with a lively luster, and they looked at them with confusion and curiosity, and seemed to be listening to their words obediently.

Seeing this scene, even the hot-tempered red-haired woman couldn't help but soften her heart and slow down her tone.

"That is, little sister, can you help us get down? We are trapped in a tree."

"Of course, no problem. I'm happy to help you. Helping others is the best thing!"

"Scorpion~"

Scorpio seemed to nodded in agreement, smiled and took the initiative to step forward and use its giant pair of pincers to cut off the vines wrapped around the Rocket trio.

Losing the restraints of the vines, the trio fell to the ground before they could react, causing a burst of smoke and dust.

"Scorpion~Scorpion~"

When Scorpio saw this, he stuck out his tongue playfully, saying that he didn't know anything~.
