Although his tone was very certain, Lin Fan quickly slumped his face and sighed helplessly.
“Even if there’s something good, I can’t get it.”
Seeing good things right in front of him, but having no chance to get involved, this depressing feeling almost made Lin Fan Flail.
Weedle, who had finished the last energy cube, ran over to comfort Lin Fan.
“Woo~”
It’s okay, when I become super, super powerful, I can get you anything you want then~
Lin Fan smiled bitterly; even Weedle was comforting him now.
He pursed his lips, and a flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Lin Fan’s mind.
“Become powerful… That’s right, if a powerful Trainer comes over, then this matter might not be impossible. Su Guanzhu’s strength is definitely more than enough to deal with these Beedrill, but I don’t even know what’s inside that cave. It would be too difficult to attract a Professional Trainer. I have no friendship with him, and whether he’s willing to help is still an unknown.”
Lin Fan pondered, finally looking at Weedle, whose muscles were becoming fuller, and whose aura was increasing daily, seeming as if he could evolve at any moment, and made up his mind.
“Anyway, just wasting time here won’t accomplish anything. It’s better to go back and contact the other party. If he’s unwilling, then so be it, but if he is, Weedle will definitely gain considerable benefits. No matter what, I should at least try.”
After making up his mind, Lin Fan looked at the sky, which had already turned dark, and decided to set off tomorrow morning.
Traveling through the wild forest at night is not suitable; it would be troublesome if he encountered any ferocious Pokémon.
He didn’t know why, but these past few days, he always had an ominous premonition, as if he was being watched by something, yet he couldn’t find anything amiss.
Logically speaking, Weedle, who had experience in wild survival, should be extremely sensitive to any rustle in the wild, but recently, he was in a critical period of evolution, and the increasingly surging energy in his body interfered with his perception to a certain extent.
“It’s good to go back early; the wilderness is, after all, dangerous.”
Lin Fan exhaled, lay down, and turned off the light, and the tent immediately became pitch black.
Outside the tent, a pair of cold eyes watched the tent. After seeing the figure inside lie down, it gradually began to move.
Over the past few days, it had figured out that the human was not strong and had no other Pokémon.
However, the other party was very alert and almost discovered it several times. Plus, it was not good at speed, so a rash attack might allow the other party to escape, which forced it to suppress its urge to act.
But today was different; it was ready, prepared for a feast at any moment.
Under the moonlight, Ariados moved slowly, its red and black body and yellow and purple long legs possessing a strange, brutal beauty.
Under the cover of tall trees, Ariados’s figure almost disappeared without a trace.
The tent was located in an open space. Ariados stood at the edge of the clearing, its body slightly crouched. Its long legs suddenly exerted force, and it charged rapidly towards the tent, with dense Bug-type energy gathering in its mouth.
Bug Bite!
But just as Ariados rushed into the tent, Lin Fan agilely leaped out from the other side and ran like hell.
“I felt something was wrong early on. Good thing I kept an extra Miracle Eye and placed a circle of Silk Thread around.”
Lin Fan cursed inwardly, not daring to stop for a moment, and ran outwards with all his might.
Ariados’s evolution level was around LV.22, far surpassing Weedle in strength. If they fought, he would only end up as its food.
Ariados killing cases were not uncommon news. Although they rarely ate humans, dismemberment was their specialty.
The thought of himself shattered into pieces made Lin Fan shiver. He reached for the Poké Ball at his waist, and his speed increased again.
Behind him, Ariados easily tore through the tent. Looking at Lin Fan running away, there was no anger in its eyes, but rather a hint of cunning.
“Something’s wrong, twelve parts out of ten are wrong!”
Lin Fan kept an eye on his back and noticed that Ariados did not immediately chase him. He suddenly had an ominous premonition. Before he could react, all the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end, and he abruptly stopped, looking at another Ariados descending from the sky, revealing a smile uglier than crying.
“Good evening, have you eaten?”
This smaller Ariados was stunned for a moment. Before it could react, it saw the human in front of him turn and run.
“Damn it, one is enough to make me miserable, why are there two here?! Didn’t they say the Pokémon in Water Moon Forest are generally not strong?!”
Lin Fan cursed loudly, hating the false information online, but his movements did not stop at all.
“Holy crap Σ(°ロ°)!”
Lin Fan’s scalp suddenly tingled. He abruptly lowered his head, and several Poison Sting flew past his scalp, embedding deeply into the tree trunk in front of him.
He took a deep breath, still shaken, and glanced at the two Ariados behind him, who were sandwiching him and blocking his path out of the forest. Lin Fan decisively raised his hand and took out a Poké Ball.
“Weedle, String Shot!”
A red light flashed, and Weedle’s figure appeared above Lin Fan’s head. He unhesitatingly sprayed countless Silk Thread continuously, forming a Silk Thread net on the surrounding trees, blocking the path of the two Ariados.
He had wanted to come out and use Helping Hand Lin Fan for a long time, but the latter had held him back tightly. After all, if he hadn’t chosen to run but fought instead, his grave grass would be a meter high by this time next year.
Lin Fan glanced at the two Ariados, who were advancing like a broken bamboo. Although their speed was not fast, their coordination was excellent. At this rate, he would be caught sooner or later.
A fierce glint suddenly flashed in his eyes. Lin Fan no longer tried to break out towards the outside of the forest but changed direction and ran towards the interior of the forest.
The two Ariados looked at Lin Fan’s direction of advance, hesitated slightly, and then followed again.
“Two Ariados, their individual strength is indeed very strong, but two fists are no match for four hands. I don’t believe you dare to provoke an entire Beedrill colony.”
Recalling Weedle into his Poké Ball, Lin Fan continued to run wildly in the direction he remembered.
Not far ahead was the gathering place of the Beedrill colony. For them, with their strong territorial instincts, whoever intruded into their territory would be their enemy.
If Ariados still chose to pursue, then they would definitely clash with the Beedrill.
If he remembered correctly, Ariados and Beedrill should be in a hostile relationship. Weedle was on Ariados’s food list, and Beedrill often expelled and hunted Ariados.
Diverting trouble was a very effective tactic. The only drawback was that Lin Fan himself would not be able to escape from the melee, and it was more likely that he would be casually eliminated.
So, to be safe, Lin Fan decided to expand the battlefield a bit more.
