Chapter 13: Poké Ball

Chapter 13: Poké Ball

"Rustle, rustle"

The noise in the bushes became louder and louder. Wilder was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, but he tripped over a rock and fell to the ground.

He now deeply regretted not learning martial arts in the first place, as he had been drained of his body by alcohol and sex over the years.

When I go back this time, I must quit drinking!

"Skin" A low growl of a monster came from the bushes, but surprisingly the sound was not too scary.

Of course, Wilder was still scared enough to leak.

“Pika Pika!”

A yellow lightning bolt rushed straight towards Wilder, making him scream and close his eyes subconsciously.

“Pica?”

But the expected death did not come, instead a furry thing appeared in his arms.

He bravely opened his eyes and finally saw the full appearance of this strange creature.

"What? What is this?" Wilder looked at the yellow creature in front of him in surprise. It had a round body, long pointed ears, and a strange tail that looked like lightning.

"Mutated rat!?"

“Pika!”

Feeling the insult in the language, Pikachu got angry.

[Wild Pikachu uses 100,000 volts! ]

【Excellent effect! 】

“Crackle—”

There was a flash of exaggerated special effects, and Wilder, with his afro hair, fainted.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he slowly woke up when he felt something wet licking his cheek. When he opened his eyes, he saw the big yellow rat that had electrocuted him.

Only this time he didn't scream.

"Master, Grandpa Mouse, please let me die," Wilder said sadly, "I will never come to the dungeon again, not in this life."

Pikachu was still licking his hands. He glanced at him when he heard the noise, and the latter saw a human emotion in its eyes - pity.

Am I being pitied by the monster?

Wilder couldn't even get angry, he just kept asking Pikachu to give him relief, but Pikachu did nothing but circle around him.

After a while, he stood up on his own.

"I wouldn't kill you even if I gave you this for free. How could there be such a strange monster like you?"

Wilder picked up a branch as a crutch and limped through the forest. What he was thinking about was simple:

Find a monster to kill me!

Because he didn't dare commit suicide because it would be too painful.

The adventurers' teleportation crystals cannot be used actively and can only be triggered after death. This is very annoying, but it is the iron rule of every dungeon.

Whether it is suicide or being murdered, it can be triggered.

The forest with singing birds and fragrant flowers is totally different from the poisonous pool and swamp. It almost makes people forget that this is a dungeon full of dangers.

"Pika Pika,"

"Why are you following me?" Wilder poked Pikachu with a branch. "If you don't want to kill me, get out of the way."

Pikachu raised his tail and the electricity crackled.

"Okay, okay, if you want to follow me, just follow me, don't make any noises!"

A down-and-out nobleman and a strange Pikachu, such a strange combination began to explore the forest.

"There must be monsters in that town over there. I want to go there."

With Undead Town as his target, Wilder limped forward, but encountered an emergency halfway.

As he passed a patch of grass, something suddenly jumped out!

"Wow, what kind of strange monster is this? I've never seen it before!"

The monster looked like a purple-black sphere floating in the air, with its eyes and mouth piled on the sphere, looking ugly and cute.

[A wild Gastly appeared! ]

Wilder instinctively stepped back at first, but the desire to go home pushed him towards Gastly. He believed that this ferocious-looking monster would definitely kill him.

Not to disappoint him, Gastly attacks!

[Wild Gastly used Shadow Ball! ]

Wilder opened his arms and didn't dodge!

He was about to embrace death, but!

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's figure suddenly rushed over and knocked Wilder to the ground, just avoiding the attack.

"What are you doing!" Wilder realized it later and became angry.

Pikachu gave him a look as if he was a fool, then turned around and took a fighting stance towards Gastly.

[Wild Gastly used Strange Light! ]

【Missed Pikachu! 】

[Wild Pikachu used electric shock! ]

The two Pokémon started fighting fiercely, with special effects flying everywhere, not counting the two eyes. Even Wilder, who was seeing a civil war between monsters for the first time, was stunned.

"That monster is protecting me?"

He felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. As everyone knew, monsters were crazy and bloodthirsty. They were completely incapable of communicating, let alone protecting humans.

Looking at Pikachu's struggling figure, he was moved for a moment, and the thought of wanting to die faded a lot.

This monster looks pretty good, doesn't it? If it survives, I will take it out as a pet.

It has a very good vision and knows how to protect me.

The battle was quickly settled, and Pikachu won with his superior skills. Gastly screamed and ran away in shame.

"Ahem,"

Wilder leaned against the tree and coughed twice, attracting Pikachu's attention.

He struck a pose that he thought was flirtatious, stretched out his hand to it and said:

"I recognize your determination to protect me. Come with me, monster. I will let you live the most luxurious life."

Pikachu looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly jumped up and flicked its tail.

[Pikachu uses Iron Tail! ]

“Puff——”

Wilder was knocked to the ground, covering his red face and trembling, he said: "How dare you hit me."

"Pika Pika," Pikachu stood up with his hands on his hips, looking disdainful.

It swung its tail a few times, and there was a crackling sound in the air. Seeing lightning forming, Wilder was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly and begged for mercy: "Stop, stop, I surrender!"

He really couldn't understand what this yellow rat was trying to do and why it had gotten so involved with him.

You can't be asking me to take him out.

Pikachu gave him an expression that said "that's good enough" and nimbly jumped onto his head, patting it as if to assert its sovereignty.

Wilder inexplicably felt like he was being noticed. Not in the way that he was liked, but in the way that a pet is noticed by its favorite owner.

Damn it, I'm haunted by the yellow devil!

Under Pikachu's command, Wilder walked around in the forest like a puppet, not knowing where he was going.

It's bad, it's bad. I don't want it to take me to its nest and eat me.

After the battle with Gastly just now, Wilder became afraid of death again.

“Pika!”

Pikachu patted his head hard, signaling Wilder to squat down and go to the bushes over there.

What could be in the grass?

He muttered something, fumbled in the grass with a look of disgust, and actually touched something.

"What's this?"

He took out a round ball that was slightly smaller than his palm. It was red and white and looked simple yet beautiful.
