Chapter 352: Are You Floatzel's Ancestor?
Scraggy is a small thug Pokémon.
Generally, several of them act together outside, wandering aimlessly in grasslands or rocky fields, looking for fun.
And once your eyes meet theirs.
Then trouble comes.
An ordinary street thug might say, "What are you looking at?"
But Scraggy will directly headbutt the target.
Can be called the "Teddy" of the Pokémon world.
Ash hatched a Scraggy before; as soon as it was born, it headbutted Ash and his Pokémon all over. Iris's Axew couldn't avoid it either.
However, that Scraggy was just born, and its full-strength attack didn't hurt at all.
Pidove reacted only three seconds after being headbutted, but was scared quite a bit.
Pikachu was even more so; after being headbutted, he looked down, scratched, and looked confused.
Tepig looked like he felt nothing after being headbutted, while the attacking Scraggy was dizzy.
In short.
Scraggy is a very fun Pokémon.
Raising this Pokémon by yourself would be a headache, but watching others raise it feels very fun.
Moreover, not everyone can raise Scraggy.
To raise Scraggy, one must have a hard head.
Super Pallet Town person Ash naturally has this kind of skull; after all, he can withstand the bites of Turtwig and Gible, let alone Scraggy.
"Hey! That's enough from you guys."
Will couldn't stand it anymore, raising his hand to disperse those three Scraggy.
"Scraggy?"
Three Scraggy heard Will's voice, looked at each other, and instantly shifted their target.
They surrounded Will one after another.
As for Druddigon, he took this opportunity to run far away.
"Scraggy?"
One of the Scraggy reached out and poked Will's shoulder.
Rough meaning: You little shorty dare to dictate to me? Hmm?
Will showed a speechless expression.
This loincloth lizard (Scraggy pulls up its loose skin like pants), chasing a timid big silly guy gave him confidence.
Will didn't waste words with them.
Three Brick Breaks down.
Three Scraggy instantly spun around dizzily, then flopped onto the ground with a thump.
Just finished here.
Thump.
Thump.
Familiar heavy footsteps reached Will's ears again.
He turned around to look.
Druddigon came back again, this time chased by a Sandile behind his butt.
"Oh my god, are you kidding me?"
Will's mouth opened wide because of Druddigon.
Chased by three Scraggy was one thing; at least it was 1 vs 3 being gang-beaten.
But why let a Sandile chase him?
Admittedly.
Sandile of this era is very long; although only a first-stage Pokémon, the length is fully 1.4 meters.
But he crawls on the ground.
Sandile crawling on the ground is less than half a meter high.
This Sandile jumping up probably can only bite Druddigon's knee.
"ROAR!"
Druddigon opened his big mouth crying for help non-stop, eyes full of tears.
Such a cowardly Pokémon.
It's the first time Will has seen one since coming to the Pokémon world.
To be honest.
Although Druddigon has a cunning personality and isn't a good guy.
At least from appearance, there is a bit of domineering air to speak of.
Now it's good.
Will's little good impression of Druddigon in his mind was completely ruined by this Druddigon.
The title "Shame of Dragon Clan."
Should be borne by you Druddigon.
This time Druddigon learned to be smart.
Seeing Will here, and the three Scraggy beaten down.
He simply hid not far behind Will, not running around anymore.
"Roar..."
Druddigon stood not far behind Will, making a pitiful sound.
"Hm?"
Will glanced at the chasing Sandile.
This Sandile was much smarter than the three Scraggy; seeing at a glance that Will wasn't easy to mess with, directly dug a hole with two hands and left.
Then Will withdrew his gaze, glanced at Druddigon, eyes full of disdain.
He felt.
Whether this Druddigon is the one a thousand years later remains to be studied.
Will remembered when that Druddigon just climbed out of Chargestone Cave, that appearance was still very domineering, at least having some aura that a Totem/Alpha should have.
As for this one now...
Placed in the Druddigon clan, he is at the level of a younger brother of a younger brother (very weak/low status).
Will shook his head, picked a direction randomly, and left.
He had to figure out where he was located now.
Currently, what can be determined is only that he is still in the Unova region; after all, Druddigon, Scraggy, and Sandile are relatively common Pokémon in the Unova region.
Will pondered a bit in his heart.
Suddenly he paused on the spot.
Immediately felt his back being bumped.
Will rushed forward two steps, almost falling flat on his face.
He got up grumpily and looked behind.
The two-and-a-half-meter Druddigon followed behind him with his head lowered like a mouse; just now, Will was bumped by this Druddigon's big head.
"Roar..."
Druddigon nodded aggrievedly.
He expressed he didn't do it on purpose, just didn't stop in time and bumped into Will.
"Why are you following!"
Will pushed away the big face in front of him, pointing to the Scraggy on the ground,
"You want to get beaten too?"
He originally thought this Druddigon was the one a thousand years later, so he saved him casually, even having the idea of taking him along to train.
But seeing Druddigon's bear-like appearance, Will gave up this idea.
"Roar~"
Druddigon shook his head hurriedly, flapping the two small wings on his back anxiously.
"Be my lackey? I don't need it, go away."
Will kicked Druddigon over.
Then turned and left.
Who knew.
In two seconds, this guy got up from the ground and followed behind Will again.
"Roar~"
Druddigon begged bitterly.
"You... hmm, hehe, okay too."
Will put on a stern face, just about to speak, suddenly thought of something, and changed his tone.
He looked at Druddigon's big height of two meters and a half, couldn't help grinning.
Will tapped the ground with one foot, leaped lightly, and jumped onto Druddigon's back.
"Roar?"
"Set off in that direction; stop when I say stop."
Will lay on Druddigon's big head, crossing his legs leisurely.
Although this Druddigon is cowardly.
But can act as his mount.
His height is not short, 1.25 meters, weight 130 catties (~65kg).
Finding a mount for him is really not easy, but this Druddigon happens to meet this condition.
Since the other party offered himself.
Then Will naturally accepted this transport lackey.
All the way forward.
Don't know how long traveled.
Will dozed off amidst the swaying.
Suddenly.
Druddigon braked abruptly; Will instantly flipped off his head and fell to the ground.
Will, awakened from his dream by the fall, looked up confusedly.
The scene in front of him instantly made his eyes wide open, suddenly energized.
Appearing in front was a large expanse of wide wetland plain.
And the reason for Will's high spirits was that on this plain, a magnificent war was taking place!
Saying it's a war is a bit exaggerated.
Actually, the armies on both sides combined might not exceed five hundred people; magnificent because there were another five hundred Pokémon participating in the battle.
One side wore brown armor, the other side wore green armor.
"Very primitive war... This era should be only a little later than the era Liz was in, maybe a few decades or a hundred years."
Will pinched his chin and muttered.
The two warring countries were still in the stage of "enslaving" Pokémon.
This is normal.
The initial stage of humans getting along with Pokémon was humans enslaving magical beasts.
And the fighting method adopted by Pokémon in this war.
Was actually the most primitive body collision.
Obviously because both countries were not good at utilizing the true power of Pokémon to fight.
Or.
They were afraid to let Pokémon use their true power, afraid they couldn't control it.
"On the brown side, the relationship between humans and Pokémon is more harmonious."
Will watched for a few dozen more seconds.
Immediately discovered other anomalies.
The side wearing brown armor obviously treated these "magical beasts" better.
Could be seen from the eyes of those Pokémon.
Pokémon in green armor had eyes full of numbness and pain.
Pokémon in brown armor, not to say radiant, but indeed spirited, probably treated quite well in daily life.
Suddenly.
Will felt his field of vision rise sharply.
At the same time.
He felt something extra under his butt.
Looked down.
A huge red head.
"...What are you doing?"
Will slapped the head under his butt.
This Druddigon actually stuffed his head under his butt, and because his head was big, directly lifted Will up.
"Roar..."
Druddigon looked at the war ahead, eyes full of fear, two thighs trembling non-stop.
"Is your big size of more than two meters grown for nothing? God... are you Floatzel's ancestor?"
Will was angry.
Reached out and gave Druddigon two "Meow Meow Punches" learned from Meowscarada.
Druddigon's move made him remember the days when he just brought Floatzel along.
At that time, Floatzel was still a Buizel.
Guts were incredibly small.
Once meeting other Pokémon, directly shrunk his head under Will's butt to hide.
But Buizel shrinking was okay.
After all, that guy was just a small one, looking cute too.
But this Druddigon guy.
Shrinking his head under a Riolu's butt, what does it look like?
"Roar..."
Druddigon responded aggrievedly.
He didn't want to be like this either, but couldn't control the fear.
"Forget it."
Will sighed, not paying attention to him anymore.
He stared closely at the warring sides.
Two countries at war.
Then his position should be between these two countries.
According to the history of Unova learned along the way and from Cynthia.
A thousand years ago.
The Unova continent was divided into three by three countries.
The Kingdom of the Vale in the west.
The Kingdom of the Blessed Isles in the center.
The Kingdom of Plenty in the east.
"Hmm... if not in the western continent, then in the central continent. If I can figure out the defending side, I'll know which continent I'm in."
