"Snorlax~"
Snorlax, who had just finished the battle with its belly, turned around and faced Xu Li, returning to its Honest appearance.
Fortunately, Snorlax arrived in time, otherwise Xu Li would have had to endure a battle with a terrain disadvantage.
"Thank you very much for your Helping Hand, Snorlax. How did you get here?"
The crisis was finally resolved, Xu Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked Snorlax curiously.
"Snorlax Snorlax~"
After some communication, Xu Li finally understood Snorlax's purpose for coming here and its thoughts.
In short, it craved Xu Li's energy cube.
And Snorlax, patting its plump belly, was very confident in its own strength, saying it could provide protection for Xu Li, as long as it was fed.
Snorlax had had enough of days when it couldn't find normal Berries and had to eat rotten ones. Even though rotten Berries wouldn't harm Snorlax's body if eaten casually, they tasted bad.
Given Snorlax's recent feat of sending several Graveler flying with just one belly flop, and its massive size, Xu Li naturally welcomed it greatly.
Moreover, the indigo energy cube for Snorlax, although slightly more expensive than the energy cube Xu Li usually used, wasn't much more expensive, and Xu Li could completely afford it.
"In that case, please enter this Poké Ball."
Xu Li took out his Poké Ball and said to Snorlax.
"Snorlax~"
Snorlax curiously touched the Poké Ball with its large paws and entered it.
Snorlax was captured!
[Snorlax (Head) ♦
Type: Normal
Level: Lv47
Ability: Immunity
Moves: Nuzzle, Snore, Sleeping, Sleep Talk, Belch, Helping Hand, Amnesia, Body Slam, Heavy Slam, High Horsepower, Hammer Arm
Affection: 68 (Protecting Xu Li means protecting energy cubes!)]
Snorlax's strength was completely enough to ensure Xu Li's safety in most wild situations.
When Snorlax was released, it was still savoring the feeling of being in the Poké Ball—leisurely, comfortable, and able to sleep. It quite liked this feeling.
"Snorlax… Snorlax"
Hearing Snorlax say it liked the environment inside the Poké Ball, Xu Li said,
"Is that so? Then please stay inside. I'll call you out when needed and for meals."
"Snorlax~"
Snorlax nodded and happily entered the Poké Ball, enjoying its Sleeping life.
This leisurely attitude made Xu Li involuntarily think of Snorlax's description.
Snorlax is a docile Pokémon that spends every day in a cycle of eating and Sleeping. It's a glutton that sleeps when not eating and eats when not Sleeping.
That was indeed the case.
Xu Li cleaned up the battlefield, captured the Golem that used Self-Destruct, and the Graveler that was knocked flying and incapacitated by Snorlax in the distance, and prepared to return to Jubilife Village.
As for the Geodude in Mount Coronet? Forget it, too many have already been caught, and research doesn't need that many.
To prevent any wild Pokémon from disturbing Xu Li's progress, Xu Li released most of his combat Pokémon, making any wild Pokémon considering an attack think twice.
Axew, Growlithe, Paras, Dewott, Chimchar, Eevee, Shinx, Ponyta, Starly formed a formidable presence on the road.
There were also Silcoon and two Magikarp that Xu Li hadn't released because they were inconvenient to move, as well as Buizel and Spheal who were with their Family.
For a while, Xu Li and a group of Pokémon appeared on the road, making a ruckus.
Ponyta and Growlithe huddled together, their initial animosity gone, communicating with 'waga waga' and 'pony pony' sounds.
Axew and Dewott were together, discussing the sword techniques Dewott used. The techniques Axew proposed made Dewott clap its hands repeatedly.
Starly felt it had been in the Poké Ball for a long time and hadn't seen Xu Li in ages. It stood on Xu Li's shoulder, constantly nuzzling and charming him with 'muku muku' sounds.
On the other side of his shoulder was Paras, still eating small snacks picked from the roadside. At his feet was Shinx, its six-pointed star tail raised, following Xu Li closely, wary of its surroundings.
He held Eevee in his arms, stroking Eevee's warm fur. Unconsciously, he had already caught so many companions, Xu Li thought with a touch of emotion.
————
After a period of trekking, returning to the field base, Xu Li had already recalled most of his Pokémon, leaving only Axew, Eevee, and Starly by his side.
Coincidentally, the convoy returning to Jubilife Village was departing an hour later, so it seemed Xu Li's pre-booked base tent wouldn't be needed.
After waiting for a while, he boarded the car back to Jubilife Village with a few scattered Investigation Team members.
The Investigation Team members in the same car as Xu Li watched him playing with his Pokémon, opened their mouths, and then closed them again.
In principle, Pokémon were not allowed in the carriage, but Xu Li was originally unaware of the Investigation Team's tedious rules. Additionally, the Investigation Team members in the car had heard about Xu Li injuring someone in the carriage last time, which made them keep their mouths shut even more.
Thus, the car returning to Jubilife Village slowly moved forward as Xu Li played with Starly.
During the journey, in the carriage, Xu Li also heard the Investigation Team members next to him discussing the commotion on Mount Coronet, speculating about what terrifying Pokémon had appeared, appearing extremely frightened.
They also mentioned that the traps dug next to Mount Coronet showed signs of Pokémon falling into them, but the pits were empty, which made the Investigation Team member quite regretful, having missed another prey.
Hearing this, Xu Li acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued playing with Starly. Soon, they arrived at Jubilife Village.
After getting off the car, Xu Li prepared to go directly to the Professor to hand over the unneeded Pokémon he had caught and the Kricketune Family.
After all, it wasn't good for Pokémon to stay in Poké Balls all the time; not all Pokémon liked being in Poké Balls like Snorlax, so it was better to hand them over to the Professor early.
Walking on the road, Xu Li's keen ears could still hear the gossip of Jubilife Village residents discussing each other, and some of the information particularly caught Xu Li's attention.
"That's too scary, someone appearing out of nowhere."
"After a lightning strike on Prelude Beach, she appeared there and was discovered by Professor Laventon who rushed over."
"Do you know about space-time distortions? That's what caused it."
"No matter what, it's still so scary. Will she bring some disaster?"
"She's still a child! Don't say that!"
Someone appearing out of nowhere on Prelude Beach? Was it Xiao Zhao? Never mind, he'd know by asking the Professor.
Just as Xu Li was deep in thought, he was suddenly stopped by someone in an Investigation Team uniform.
The person who came had ill intentions, immediately wanting to hold him accountable.
"You're Xu Li, right? You injured Zuo Xiong, how do you plan to atone?"
Zuo Xiong? He must be one of the two people he kicked on the car.
Xu Li wasn't one to indulge them. He looked up at the investigator, and said indifferently,
"If your Investigation Team members have poor conduct and you don't educate them, someone else will naturally educate them for you."
This Investigation Team member didn't expect Xu Li to be so disrespectful to him as a senior, and even dare to talk back. He immediately pointed at Xu Li and said,
"You, if you have the guts, have a battle with our Investigation Team. I'm going to make you understand how to respect your seniors."
"Battle? Alright."
Xu Li thought of the achievement of winning a Pokémon battle. It would be a good opportunity to let the Investigation Team recognize his strength, reduce annoyance, and complete an achievement.
Failure? Xu Li hadn't considered it. Not only did he have confidence in himself, but if the other party really tried to bully him, Snorlax was still in the Poké Ball on his waist.
"Tomorrow morning, Jubilife Village Training Ground, our Investigation Team will be waiting for you."
