Chapter 44
Harklong, Beat Them Up!

Within Xia Mu's camp.

Juan Juan Er was lying in front of the camera, sharing with Xia Mu the happenings on the farm today.

For example, someone else wanted to challenge Xia Mu.

However, the challenger learned from Rotom that Xia Mu was not there and left.

Several Heracross appeared in the territory previously belonging to Hruga.

But they were beaten away by Hruga and his team of Darumaka.

The Farfetch'd challenged the Wooper again.

Because it brought its training gear, it lost miserably.

Also, the Wynaut in the field seemed to have grown a little bigger.

“Juan Juan~"

Juan Juan Er, in the end, was most curious about when Xia Mu would return.

Xia Mu comforted it, “Alright, Juan Juan Er."

“If things go smoothly, I'll be back in a few days."

Peng~

At that moment, a loud explosion suddenly came from afar.

“Awoooo!"

The Houndoom, lying behind Xia Mu as a pillow, immediately stood up alertly, looking towards the direction of the explosion.

“What's going on, what's with the commotion?"

Xia Mu looked over in confusion.

“Lalau!"

Latias suddenly appeared.

“Latias?"

Xia Mu was surprised to see the sudden appearance of Latias.

“The Combee... they're in danger!"

A soft little girl's voice rang out in Xia Mu's mind.

This Latias could telepathically communicate!

Xia Mu listened to Latias’ words and his expression slightly changed, "You came from Combee’s side?”

“Lalau!"

Latias nodded.

“Everyone come in."

Xia Mu immediately took out his Poké Balls and retrieved Hakuryu and the others.

“Bao Bao!"

For the first time, Bao Bao Cocoon showed a worried expression.

“Don’t worry, we’ll go right away."

Xia Mu said as he also retrieved Bao Bao Cocoon.

Xia Mu looked at Latias and said, “Latias, can you use Teleport to take us there?"

“Lalau~"

Latias took Xia Mu's hand, and then they both disappeared together.

In Combee’s territory.

“Now’s the time!"

Chen Shan looked at the Combee’s protective barrier that had disappeared and immediately said, “Staraptor, Brave Bird!"

“Target is..."

Chen Shan looked at the group of Combee that lay on the ground, “Combee!"

Staraptor flapped its wings and charged at the Combee at high speed.

“Combee!"

Combee was shocked to see Staraptor charging towards its Combee.

At this moment, Combee’s instincts took over its rational thought.

Combee used its body to block Staraptor’s attack.

Peng~

Combee was knocked away.

Wang Cheng quickly ordered, "Electivire, give it a Thunderbolt!"

Zira~Boom!

A direct hit!

Wang Cheng looked at Combee lying down, then glanced at Chen Shan and said, “Nice one."

“He actually thought of attacking the Combee to lure out the Combee."

“But, I didn’t expect this Combee to actually just charge in.”

Wang Cheng said with a sigh, “After all, it is four times weak to Staraptor.”

Chen Shan said calmly, “If you only look at Pokémon strength in Pokémon battles, what’s the point of having a Trainer?”

“Learning to use a Pokémon's characteristics to create opportunities is the real job of a Trainer."

Chen Shan said as he walked towards the Poké Egg that had fallen to the ground.

“Combee!"

Combee struggled to get up, its thread shot out instantly, wrapping around the Poké Egg.

“Combee!"

Combee pulled the Poké Egg into its arms, looking angrily at Chen Shan and Wang Cheng.

“Wow."

Wang Cheng was surprised, “So tough?”

Chen Shan frowned, then told Staraptor, “Finish it off, Staraptor!"

“Starap!"

Staraptor responded, just as it was about to attack, a white light flashed.

This was Xia Mu's first time experiencing Teleport.

It felt like going through a dark space, and when he regained consciousness, he had already appeared beside Combee.

At this moment, Combee, covered in wounds, was lying on the ground holding a Poké Egg.

The nearby ground was full of Combee, all in a state of unconsciousness and poisoning!

Xia Mu looked at the scene before him, and his face immediately changed.

“Combee!"

Xia Mu immediately went over and activated his Harmony.

“Combee~”

Combee looked at Xia Mu as he arrived and weakly called out.

“Leave it to me."

After being reassured by Xia Mu, Combee’s body went limp, and it passed out.

“Damn it, I knew it wouldn’t be that easy."

Wang Cheng looked at Xia Mu who had suddenly appeared and cursed, then looked at Chen Shan and said, “Here comes someone, what do we do?"

Chen Shan said coldly, “People go missing in this forest every year, one more doesn't make a difference!"

“Arbok!"

“Ssspar!"

From the grass, Arbok jumped out and attacked Xia Mu.

Pa~

On Xia Mu's body, a Poké Ball automatically opened.

“Hak!"

Boom!

Scorching flames shot out!

The flames instantly burned through Arbok's body!

“Damn it, it’s a Hakuryu!"

Wang Cheng exclaimed in astonishment.

Chen Shan cursed in his heart, “Damn it, why didn’t he release the Hakuryu earlier!”

“This is so embarrassing for you.”

Arbok’s instantly charred body told Chen Shan how terrifying this Hakuryu was.

Chen Shan forced a smile and looked at Xia Mu and said, “Friend, this is a misunderstanding.”

“Our target was only that Poké Egg."

Xia Mu slightly raised his head, glanced at the two, and said in a cold tone, “Misunderstanding?"

Chen Shan said, “It really is a misunderstanding."

“That Poké Egg is ours, it was just picked up by the Combee."

“I don’t think you’d go so far as to fight us for a Poké Egg, right?"

Xia Mu didn’t want to discuss right or wrong with them at this time.

Xia Mu simply said, “Hakuryu, beat them up!"

Hakuryu slightly opened its mouth, gathering terrifying Dragon-type energy.

Dragon Pulse!
