Chapter 149: Take This Bullet Punch!
So they were Drilbur's Dad and Mom!
Bai Feng thought, no wonder they were so Excited to see each other.
But he also Discover that Drilbur's Dad and Mom weren't Drilbur at all; they were clearly Dugtrio.
Dugtrio is the Evolution Form of Drilbur. Their appearance is extremely similar to Drilbur, especially their Head. If you don't observe carefully, it's easy to mistake them.
However, Dugtrio are generally much larger than Drilbur. A typical Drilbur is only about a meter long, while most Dugtrio exceed three meters, making them perfectly suitable for riding.
Dugtrio have two Forms: the two-segment Form and the three-segment Form. However, the three-segment Form of Dugtrio is very rare; the probability of a Drilbur evolving into the three-segment Form is only one percent.
The main difference between the two-segment Form and the three-segment Form of Dugtrio lies in their Personality.
Two-segment Form Dugtrio have a volatile Personality. If someone accidentally enters their nest, they will use their Talent to unleash powerful explosive air blasts to drive the enemy out of the Cave.
When faced with the same Situation, three-segment Form Dugtrio will choose to let the trespasser ride on their back and then safely escort them to the Cave entrance.
Drilbur's Parents were the more common two-segment Form. Just as they finished tearfully embracing their son, they began to eye Bai Feng with dangerous gazes. Their eyes were practically saying:
"You're the kid who kidnapped our Treasure Son?"
Seeing that his Dad and Mom had misunderstood, Drilbur quickly stepped forward to explain, telling his Parents about Bai Feng's care for him during this Time and how Bai Feng had gone through great trouble to bring him back.
After listening to Drilbur's explanation, the Dugtrio couple's attitude towards Bai Feng did a complete 180-degree turn. They were practically overflowing with gratitude towards Bai Feng.
Although they were naturally volatile, they weren't completely unreasonable.
Hearing that their son had suffered so much because he was captured by the group of Corviknight on the Mountain, the couple gnashed their teeth in hatred. Unfortunately, they couldn't defeat Corviknight.
Many Drilbur and Dugtrio in this area had disappeared due to Corviknight's predation.
After clarifying the misunderstanding, Drilbur began to ask his Parents about the Reason for the Grassland's disappearance and the whereabouts of Gossifleur and Eldegoss.
Hearing their son ask this Problem, the couple exchanged glances and couldn't help but show a bitter smile. They then explained the course of the Matter.
It turned out that not long after Drilbur disappeared, a pair of Pangoro and several Pancham arrived at the Mountain Foot of this Mountain.
The Pangoro were a couple, and the Pancham were their children.
That pair of Pangoro lived up to their name; their Personality was very overbearing. They went around "bullying males and dominating females" in this area. Although this caused dissatisfaction among many Pokémon, their Strength was too great, and no one dared to stand up against them!
Later, they passed by the Grassland where the Gossifleur and Eldegoss lived and were attracted by the excellent Grassland there. They felt that such fertile Soil would surely be able to grow high-quality and delicious Bamboo.
So they took action to drive away all the Gossifleur and Eldegoss and converted the Grassland into a Bamboo Forest.
Later, they heard that the Reason the Soil Quality here was so fertile was because it was nourished by the Fertilizer made from the cotton fluff and Seed on Eldegoss. So they went and captured all the Gossifleur and Eldegoss again, forcing the Eldegoss to plant the Bamboo Forest for them.
Now all the Gossifleur and Eldegoss are being held by the Pangoro deep within the Bamboo Forest to produce Fertilizer.
After hearing the Dugtrio couple's explanation, Bai Feng and the others suddenly understood. Drilbur, filled with righteous indignation, immediately rushed off angrily to Duel the Pangoro and rescue his Good Friend!
The Dugtrio couple quickly stopped him.
The Pangoro couple was too strong. It wasn't that the Dugtrio couple hadn't thought about stepping forward, but they were no match for the Pangoro couple at all. How could Drilbur, who was even weaker than them, possibly stand a chance? Drilbur probably couldn't even take one punch from them.
At this point, Bai Feng said, "Then I'll go. I will definitely rescue the Gossifleur and Eldegoss safely."
He had come specifically for the Gossifleur and Eldegoss, and he couldn't let other Pokémon get there first!
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Drilbur immediately jumped and bounced with joy. It knew that Bai Feng's Strength was very high, and as long as Bai Feng was willing to take action, rescuing the Eldegoss would definitely not be a Problem.
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Dugtrio couple showed concern. "Can you do it? The Pangoro couple is very strong."
Seeing that his Parents didn't believe Bai Feng, Drilbur immediately began to educate them about Bai Feng's powerful points.
But as the saying goes, seeing is believing, and hearing is not. They had only witnessed the Strength of the Pangoro couple but had not seen Bai Feng take action, so they were skeptical of their son's explanation.
However, whether they believed it or not wasn't important. Bai Feng said to the family of three, "Wait here. I'll be back shortly."
Hearing this, Drilbur insisted on going along, and the Dugtrio couple's objections were useless.
Finally, Bai Feng simply took the entire family of three with him.
"If you encounter any Matter, just run," Bai Feng said to the family of three before setting off. "Don't worry about me."
Just like that, Bai Feng, along with Bai Ye and Drilbur's family of three, walked into the deep Bamboo Forest.
It must be said that the Fertilizer produced by Eldegoss was indeed very impressive. It hadn't even been a year since Drilbur disappeared, and such a vibrant Bamboo Forest had already grown here.
No wonder the Pangoro had set their sights on them.
Bai Feng and his group walked through the Bamboo Forest. They didn't see a single Pokémon appear; the surroundings were very quiet. Occasionally, a gentle Wind would blow, causing the Bamboo Forest to rustle.
At this moment, Bai Ye suddenly stopped her Footstep.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" Treasure, do you hear crying?
Bai Feng also stopped his Footstep and listened carefully. Sure enough, he heard a faint, intermittent sobbing sound.
Haunting in broad daylight?
"Let's go take a look," Bai Feng whispered to Bai Ye.
Bai Ye nodded and followed Bai Feng, searching along the sound of sobbing. Finally, behind a large Stone, they saw a Gossifleur secretly crying.
Seeing Bai Feng and the others appear, the Gossifleur immediately hid behind the large Stone in Panic, until it saw Drilbur's family.
Because Drilbur was a Good Friend with an Eldegoss and lived nearby, many Gossifleur and Eldegoss knew Drilbur. The Gossifleur in front of Bai Feng and the others was one of them.
The Gossifleur was very pleasantly surprised to see Drilbur, because it had heard that Drilbur had suddenly disappeared, and Eldegoss had been sad about it for a long Time.
"It's great that you're okay," the Gossifleur said to Drilbur. "Eldegoss will definitely be very happy if it knows."
"Where is Eldegoss?" Drilbur asked the Gossifleur. "And why are you hiding here crying?"
Hearing Drilbur's question, the Gossifleur couldn't help but cry again. It didn't know where Eldegoss was, because the Pangoro family had separated the Eldegoss and Gossifleur in their Clan and managed them separately.
The Eldegoss were supervised by the Pangoro, forced to produce Fertilizer day and night to maintain the Bamboo Forest; the Gossifleur were supervised by the Pancham, receiving abuse from the Pancham every day.
The Quantity of Eldegoss was relatively small in the Clan. In order to obtain more Eldegoss to make Fertilizer for them, the Pangoro set their sights on the Gossifleur.
They instructed the Pancham to abuse the Gossifleur every day, calling it Training. If they couldn't complete the Training, they would not only be beaten but also go hungry, until the Gossifleur evolved into Eldegoss and were taken away by the Pangoro.
The Gossifleur in front of Bai Feng and the others had secretly run out and was hiding here crying because it couldn't bear the abuse.
After hearing the Gossifleur's words, Drilbur was almost fainting with anger. It was too much, too much!
"Yacha! Yacha! Yacha!"
Just then, a Pancham holding a Bamboo stick ran over fiercely. While pointing at the Gossifleur and scolding loudly, it also questioned where Bai Feng and the others came from and what they wanted to do.
Its attitude was extremely arrogant!
As soon as it saw this Pancham, the Gossifleur immediately trembled with Fear and hid directly behind Drilbur.
"Yacha! Yacha! Yacha!"
Seeing that Bai Feng and the others were ignoring it, the Pancham became furious. It raised its hand and unleashed a Dark Pulse towards Bai Feng.
How dare you hit my Treasure Son? Is this acceptable?
Bai Ye waved her small hand, and a Light Screen appeared in front of Bai Feng, blocking the Dark Pulse. With another wave of her small hand, a Dazzling Gleam shot out, and the Pancham immediately rolled its eyes and fainted on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the Gossifleur was a bit dumbfounded. That bullying tyrant was defeated so quickly?
Drilbur comforted the Gossifleur, saying, "Don't be afraid, Bai Feng will definitely save you."
At this moment, Bai Feng also looked at the Gossifleur and said, "Where are your other Companion? Take me to rescue them!"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, the Gossifleur immediately cheered and led the way.
As for the unconscious Pancham, Bai Feng released Larvitar and had it carry the Pancham, following behind them.
Of course, the Pancham's height was similar to Larvitar's, so it was unrealistic for Larvitar to carry it. It could only drag it.
Led by the Gossifleur, Bai Feng and the others arrived deeper in the Bamboo Forest. Here, they saw Gossifleur being forced to run in the Bamboo Forest by three Pancham. All those who ran slowly were beaten, and several Gossifleur were already covered in injuries.
With the confidence given by Bai Feng, the Gossifleur who had been secretly crying earlier stepped forward angrily and accused the Pancham that was whipping its Companion with a Bamboo stick.
The Pancham saw that a Gossifleur dared to resist it and thought: "How can this be?" It immediately swung its Bamboo stick, intending to whip the Gossifleur.
At this moment, Larvitar leaped forward and forcefully threw the unconscious Pancham it was holding. The Pancham's Bamboo stick hadn't even been swung yet when it was hit in the face by its own Brothers.
The Gossifleur and the other two Pancham who saw this scene were all stunned.
"Yacha? Yacha! Yacha!"
After the beaten Pancham got up, it pointed at Larvitar and let out a series of cries. At this point, the other two Pancham recovered their senses and immediately attacked Larvitar along with their Companion without a word.
Larvitar waved its small hand, and instantly, four long Rock Spear appeared above its Head.
"Yo!!"
Larvitar cried out proudly. It was now proficient in this move it had learned from Carbink, performing it no worse than Carbink, its Teacher.
Only the sound of "whoosh whoosh whoosh" cutting through the air was heard, and the three Pancham fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Cotton!"
"Cotton!"
"Cotton!"
...
Seeing this scene, all the Gossifleur couldn't help but cheer.
Bai Feng thought for a moment, took out four Poké Ball from his person, and captured the four Pancham.
Since he was going to rescue the Gossifleur and Eldegoss Clan, he couldn't just leave these few rascals behind. It was better to take them away.
He would take them back and discipline them, assigning them to hard labor in the Orchard. Anyway, he had added another Mountain now, but the Employee hadn't increased. He might as well let them fill the gap! From now on, all the dirty and tiring work would be theirs.
These few had personalities that were simply too arrogant. They needed to be properly polished. Labor reform was the best method.
Perhaps the commotion caused by Bai Feng and his group was too great. Only an angry roar was heard, and a Pangoro slowly walked out from the nearby Bamboo Forest.
"Roar!!!!" Where are my children!
Seeing the Pangoro glaring fiercely at Bai Feng, Larvitar immediately wanted to step forward. Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly stopped it and said, "Alright, alright, you can forget about it. You can't beat it right now."
"Yo!"
Hearing Bai Feng say it couldn't do it, Larvitar was very dissatisfied, but it still obediently retreated.
Seeing this, Bai Ye was about to step forward to replace Larvitar. Bai Feng stopped her again and said, "Old Mom (Gardevoir), you don't need to make a move either. Leave some Training Opportunity for the Partner."
Bai Ye didn't mind. When she was at Home, she would go to Phantump Forest every day to Duel Wild Pokémon. One Pangoro wasn't a big deal.
So Bai Ye also nodded and retreated to the back.
Bai Feng took out a Poké Ball. With a flash of Red Light, Brionne appeared in front of the Pangoro.
"Brionne, I'll leave the Pangoro to you!"
"Sirai~ Sirai~"
Brionne excitedly clapped its Palm, looking eager to try. In order to defeat Heliolisk and the Lopunny couple as soon as possible and replace them in Fangxing Mountain's Combat Power ranking, it was thinking of asking Bai Feng to find it more Training Opportunity!
"Roar! Roar!! Roar!!!" Where are my children? Where are my children!
The Pangoro roared and charged towards Bai Feng. It knew that Bai Feng was the leader among this group of Pokémon, so it immediately locked its attack target onto Bai Feng.
But the next second, it suddenly and unexpectedly plunged into a soft Bubble and was involuntarily bounced backward.
But unexpectedly, there were also Bubble behind it, and it was bounced forward again, staggering.
Surrounded by Bubble from all sides, the Pangoro couldn't move an inch.
"Roar!"
The Pangoro angrily swung its fists, rapidly bombarding the Bubble using Bullet Punch.
Hora! Hora! Hora!
But each of its punches only caused a fist-shaped indentation in the Bubble, and the Bubble quickly returned to Normal. It couldn't affect the Bubble in the slightest.
