"Hmm, this is indeed the first time I've seen this." The Doctor smiled as he looked at Xiao Ruan.
"His body is so soft, so I call him Little Softie." Yulijia held up her little hand.
"I'll also investigate this on my end. I'll contact you again if I find anything. You guys continue your observations as well," the doctor said with a smile.
"Okay, we understand"
No one noticed the bug attached to the phone, which intercepted everyone's conversation and relayed it to the Team Rocket trio waiting outside the Pokémon Center.
Lin Xi doesn't have telekinesis active 24/7.
"How cute, call her Little Softie." Musashi chuckled, pausing the information he was eavesdropping on.
"A Pokémon that even Professor Syracuse hasn't seen before? Looks like it's very valuable!" Kojiro exclaimed excitedly; this was a new discovery!
"If it really is a new species, this is a truly remarkable discovery!" Meow Meow exclaimed excitedly.
"And we can even rename him, like Musashi, Little Beauty, or something like that." Musashi's eyes sparkled.
"Cool Kojiro isn't bad either," Koji chimed in.
"Hehe, the battle begins! We must capture the enemy!" The trio stood up excitedly, enjoying the fun of naming their opponents.
After hanging up the phone, everyone went to the rest area to rest for a while. Lin Xi placed Xiao Ruan on her head.
Little Soft quickly fell asleep on Lin Xi's head.
The group walked for an unknown amount of time, still without emerging from the forest. They came to a shady spot to rest. Little Soft jumped onto a nearby stone and lay down. The red core on its back emitted a dazzling light once more, absorbing sunlight.
"He really loves sunbathing," Serena said with a smile, looking at the little cuddly boy lying on the stone bench.
"Perhaps it's converting sunlight into its own energy," Lin Xi said meaningfully.
A glint of light reflected from a lens emerged from the grass in the distance; the trio was crouching in the grass, observing Xiao Ruan lying on the stone block with binoculars.
"Eat sunlight? Can it survive without eating anything?" Musashi wondered. This thing didn't seem like a plant at all!
"I'm getting more and more interested." Kojiro liked these photosynthetic organisms.
"If we did some research, maybe the rest of us could survive without eating anything," Meow Meow thought to herself. After all, they often went hungry because of insufficient funds, and it would be even better if they could eat sunlight!
Chapter 261 Ninja Village
"Zero food expenses, that's fantastic!" Kojiro exclaimed excitedly. He used to be a rich guy, often eating Crazy Thursdays for 50 RMB a day. Now, he had to live a life where he didn't know where his next meal would come from. It was really tough!
"But I can no longer experience the joy of eating delicious cakes and snacks," Musashi said, somewhat dejected.
"It seems so," Meow Meow realized.
"No matter what, in order to get us promoted and get a raise, let's begin the 'Little Soft Capture Operation'!" Musashi roused himself once again.
"Alright, let's go." After resting, everyone prepared to set off again.
"Little Softie, we're leaving now." Little Softie hopped and skipped onto Lin Xi's head.
Just then, a Pokémon with hearts in its eyes rushed towards the Felhunter in Serena's arms, extending vine whips from its sides to strike the Felhunter in a heart shape.
"Serena, watch out!" Lin Xi quickly shielded Serena, using her psychic shield to block the attack.
"Serena, Lin Xi, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Serena shook her head at Lin Xi, and the two of them stood up from the ground.
"It's Fat Hound!" Clemont exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the Pokémon that had stopped in front of him.
"Fat Hali?" Zhizi took out her picture book and pointed it at the other party.
"Halli, the Spiny Pokémon, is the evolved form of Cicinthus. Its carapace is extremely sturdy, so it won't budge even if its trainer bumps into it. It can use its carapace to deflect enemy attacks and use its sharp spikes to attack."
A voice came from the encyclopedia.
"The evolved form of Chinchilla?" Yurika looked at the chubby Harley, whose eyes were constantly jumping with hearts in front of Serena, with some surprise.
Fatty Harley once again unleashed a vine whip shaped like a heart at the Flame-Eared Fox in Serena's arms, but it was blocked again by Lin Xi's psychic shield.
"The vine whip has turned into a heart shape!" Yulijia exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the vine whip that had transformed into a heart.
"Could it be... that he likes the Flame-Eared Fox in Serena's arms?" Citron asked, looking at the Flame-Eared Fox lying in Serena's arms.
"Love at first sight?!" Ma Xiu exclaimed in surprise. A hedgehog and a fox?
It is estimated that it is impossible.
At this moment, Fatty Hari curled up into a ball and rushed quickly towards the Flame-Eared Fox in Serena's arms.
After jumping down from Serena's arms, the Flame-Eared Fox unleashed a burst of flames at the rolling Fatty Hari. A violent explosion followed, and Fatty Hari was blasted out of the smoke.
The Flame-Eared Fox jumped back into Serena's arms, looking at the hedgehog with disdain.
She likes humans, like Lin Xi.
After all, she's a vixen!
She wants to eat ice cream just like the Ice Six-Tails!
"I felt looked down upon," Yulijia said, looking at the Flame-Eared Fox in Serena's arms.
Serena quickly treated the other person's injuries, and the other person finally recovered.
Fatty Hali woke up after a while.
Fatty Hali glanced at the Flame-Eared Fox in Serena's arms, then turned and ran into the bushes on the other side.
"Give up?" Ma Xiu found this kind of thing quite amusing.
A short while later, Fatty Hali burst out of the bushes again, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Is the gift-giving battle next?" Ma Xiu asked, looking at the flowers in the other person's hand with great interest.
Fatty Hali ran up to Serena and handed the flowers in his hand to the Flame-Eared Fox.
The Flame-Eared Fox incinerated the flowers with a single flamethrower, then disdainfully turned its head and let out a squeak.
"Looks like she doesn't like it," Yulijia, the shrewd little girl, realized.
Fatty Hali walked to the side by himself and started squatting on the ground, drawing circles. If you looked closely, it seemed like snowflakes were falling in the background.
The Rockets, standing to the side, were wondering whether Lin Xi should make a move or back down...
Ultimately, fear triumphed over desire.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes nearby. A fire sprite popped its head out of the bushes and then leaped away and disappeared.
Fat Hali was instantly captivated again, charging into the bushes to chase after the fire sprite.
"Wow, he perked up instantly!" Yulijia said, watching the chubby Hali disappear into the grass.
"This is what a jerk is like!" Ma Xiu was speechless. She thought he was the most devoted man in Pokémon, but this is what he's like?
Confessing your love to any random Pokémon on the street—what kind of creature would do something like that?
After having lunch, everyone continued their journey towards Yingxue City.
While everyone was resting in one place, Lin Xi suddenly sensed two people rushing towards them.
Lin Xi used her telekinesis to force them to appear.
It's a human dressed as a ninja and a Greninja frog.
"Sanpei, Greninja. It's you guys."
Citron seems to know him.
"Yes, it's been a long time. I'm so happy to see you."
The other party also did not expect to meet Citron.
Lin Xi lifted the restraints on the ninja.
"Sanping, we've made lunch, come and eat with us."
"Grateful."
While everyone was eating, Sanpei told them about the ninja village.
"A ninja village?" Tomoko murmured to herself, unsure why she wanted to go there.
"That's right, the village is about to hold a festival, so I traveled a long way back."
"What kind of place is a ninja village? Are there many ninjas living there?" Yurika suddenly asked.
"Of course there are many ninjas. The villagers and Pokémon all train day and night." Sanpei nodded. What kind of ninjas are there in a ninja village?
"A ninja festival, huh? I really want to go!" Yurika said meaningfully.
"Yeah, that sounds really interesting." Tomoko chimed in, accompanied by Yurika.
"In that case, I can lead the way for everyone."
Sanpei, the ninja, was very responsive and led everyone towards the ninja village.
Lin Xi's lips curled slightly. Was the intelligent frog coming?
Soon they arrived at a mountain. As they entered, they saw many people dressed in black; these were likely the legendary ninjas. It was unclear whether they were as skilled in ninjutsu as those in Naruto.
