Watching Hatterene, who was completely different from a second ago, Gardevoir’s heart skipped a beat: with that speed of face-changing, she knew at a glance that this was not someone to be trifled with.
But since things had come to this, Gardevoir could only nod and say, “That’s right, our band is still missing a keyboardist, so we wanted to invite you to join.”
“Keyboardist? What’s that?” Hatterene didn’t understand much about bands.
“It’s playing a musical instrument,” Gardevoir explained. “We need to perform on stage with A Li.”
“Ah ah ah ah!!! What did you say?!” Hatterene shrieked again. “Perform with A Li?? I want to join! I want to join! Please, you must choose me! Keyboards, I’m absolutely fantastic at them!”
As Hatterene shrieked, waves of Psychic power spread wildly in all directions, startling countless birds and Pokémon in the forest.
“This power is no less than mine!” Gardevoir couldn’t help but gasp, and thinking about what might happen after taking her back, she immediately felt a headache.
Before Gardevoir could speak, a Vine Whip suddenly appeared, forming a fist and directly smashing onto Hatterene’s head: “I told you to be quiet!”
Hatterene looked pitiful: “I was just too happy!”
Venusaur looked helplessly at Gardevoir: “Are you sure you want to invite her? Was it A Li’s decision?”
Gardevoir hesitated, saying, “A Li doesn’t know yet, it was just our band’s own decision.”
Venusaur also couldn’t help but sigh: “Are you sure hiding her from A Li and bringing her over won’t cause a huge fight?”
Gardevoir said helplessly, “I’m a bit worried now.”
“Don’t think so much, just take her away,” a slightly rough voice suddenly appeared, and Alakazam’s figure followed. “Why think? Just take her away. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens.”
“Uh…” Gardevoir was still hesitant. “What about Ninetales?”
“It’s fine, A Li will handle it himself,” Alakazam said.
Although Gardevoir had great confidence in Mu Li, which was why she dared to invite Hatterene, when she saw Hatterene, she became unsure.
Judging by the Psychic fluctuations on Hatterene, Hatterene’s strength was in no way inferior to hers.
Gardevoir couldn’t even imagine the scene when Hatterene and Ninetales met.
“But aren’t the two seniors going back together?” Gardevoir asked. “Isn’t this place already built?”
Alakazam said grumpily, “Go back for what? To listen to your concert? It’s too noisy for Pokémon. It’s so much quieter here.”
“Then when I go back, I’ll say that this place isn’t finished yet, and you two still need to continue building?” Gardevoir probed.
“Sensible,” Alakazam praised. “Hurry up and take this fellow away.”
Gardevoir didn’t say much, only sighing as she looked at Hatterene, who was restrained by Alakazam’s Psychic power and struggling continuously.
It could be seen that Alakazam was also very fed up with this disciple. Without waiting for Gardevoir to speak, he directly opened a two-meter-high spatial rift. Gardevoir didn’t even have time to react before she was controlled by Alakazam and thrown into the spatial rift along with Hatterene.
At this moment, Mu Li was playing games with Chichi when he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease. Then he saw a spatial rift appear in the center of the farm, and immediately after, Gardevoir and Hatterene shot out from the spatial rift.
“Eh? Isn’t that Gardevoir?” Chichi was still puzzled. “The Pokémon with her seems to be called Hatterene, right? A Li, do you have a Hatterene at your place?”
Mu Li’s face had already turned extremely ugly: “It’s over, it’s over! Brother Chichi, hurry and hide in the house.”
Chichi’s face changed: “What’s wrong? What happened?”
“No time to explain!” Mu Li was visibly flustered. Chichi had never seen Mu Li so panicked, so he didn’t ask any more questions and followed Mu Li’s instructions, running into the room and observing everything happening outside through the window.
After arranging Chichi, Mu Li shouted towards the spatial rift, “Alakazam! Look at what you’ve done! Quickly send Armarouge back to me.”
Alakazam’s voice also rang out: “It’s fine, didn’t you bring a Moltres back? Having her is enough.”
Mu Li’s mouth twitched: “How dare you say that? Why did you let her out when she was perfectly fine?”
Alakazam said with a hint of schadenfreude: “This wasn’t my decision. Gardevoir said their band was missing a keyboardist, so they invited Hatterene to join the band.”
Mu Li couldn’t help but recall the four Pokémon acting suspiciously just now, and a vein throbbed on his forehead: So these four little rascals were discussing this terrible idea!
“Then you just let her come back like that?” Mu Li roared. “Do we still want this farm or not?”
“Hatterene also wanted to join, I couldn’t stop her, could I?” Alakazam chuckled mischievously. “Besides, the two of them were going to meet sooner or later. What’s the difference between meeting early and meeting late?”
Mu Li still wanted to say something, but the spatial rift had already disappeared. A Rowlet with a red ribbon suddenly appeared in front of Mu Li.
“What’s going on? Why am I suddenly back?” Moltres asked, puzzled.
Mu Li’s mouth twitched. Just as he was about to explain, a strong Psychic wave, imbued with a burning will, appeared.
“Don’t let any flames harm these flowers, plants, and trees later,” Mu Li quickly said.
“Ah? Okay,” Moltres said, though she didn’t understand what was happening, she first agreed to Mu Li’s request.
The next moment, a burning fireball appeared out of thin air in mid-air, raising the temperature of the entire farm by several degrees.
“Foxy spirit! How dare you appear here!” Ninetales’ voice became unusually sharp.
Without Alakazam’s control, Hatterene returned to her original state and flew directly in front of Ninetales: “Oh ho ho ho! A Li invited me this time, you know.”
Ninetales froze, and the next second, her gaze swept over: “A Li, is she telling the truth?”
Mu Li could only force a smile: “Although it wasn’t my decision, well, she’s here to join the band.”
“Band?”
Ninetales looked at Gardevoir again, and Gardevoir could only explain: “Our band was missing a keyboardist, so…”
“Are there no other Pokémon? Do you have to invite this foxy spirit?” Ninetales said angrily.
“Uh, there really aren’t any suitable ones,” Gardevoir said helplessly.
Ninetales paused, then stubbornly said, “That won’t do either. I absolutely won’t allow this foxy spirit in my house.” As she spoke, the flames on Ninetales burned as if solidifying.
Hatterene let out a triumphant laugh, her Psychic power no less. A deep purple Psychic shield instantly formed, directly confronting Ninetales’ burning flames: “Oh ho ho ho, I’m here, nyah nyah nyah nyah…”
A vein throbbed on Ninetales’ forehead. Without another word, she directly blasted a Fire Blast at Hatterene.
Hatterene shrieked: “Ahhh! You ambushed me!! Don’t think I don’t know, I’ve looked up information! You, you’re the foxy spirit!”
A Psycho Cut flashed, directly slicing Ninetales’ Fire Blast in half.
Flames erupted from Ninetales’ eyes. The sliced Fire Blast instantly exploded, directly destroying the Psycho Cut.
“Good, good, good! Today I’ll let you know what happens to a foxy spirit!” Ninetales roared.
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, you’re the foxy spirit! I’m a beautiful forest Fairy!” Hatterene made a face, showing no signs of nervousness.
Ninetales said nothing, only continued to burn, flames shooting out like a rain of arrows.
Hatterene’s figure flickered continuously. Although the flames were as numerous as stars, they couldn’t harm her in the slightest.
Mu Li and the others nervously watched the battle between Hatterene and Ninetales, not daring to relax for a moment, fearing that if the two fought seriously, they would destroy the entire farm.
However, Ninetales and Hatterene seemed to be very measured, only attacking each other above the farm, and not letting stray attacks damage the farm.
Seeing this situation, Gardevoir also breathed a sigh of relief: it seemed the two Pokémon hadn’t lost their minds yet.
“Hmph, all talk and no action.” Gardevoir finally understood Ninetales. Ninetales’ attitude was just for show to Mu Li, so that Mu Li wouldn’t bring a foxy spirit home every now and then.
Five minutes later, Chichi walked out of the room: “How long are they going to fight?”
Even Chichi could see that the two weren’t fighting for real, at least not to the extent of damaging the farm.
Mu Li shook his head and said, “I don’t know either. Let them fight, as long as they don’t harm the farm.”
Ten minutes later, the two of them sat together on the swing, watching the flames occasionally falling. Moltres also sat nearby, and whenever flames flew down, she would inhale them into her mouth.
“It seems to be getting more and more intense,” Chichi wiped the sweat from his forehead and narrated. “The temperature is clearly much higher.”
“It is a bit,” Mu Li nodded. “Gengar, use Icy Wind.”
A cold wind blew, and the environment around Mu Li and Chichi became cooler. The two of them just sat on the swing and continued to watch Ninetales and Hatterene fight.
Thirty minutes later, Dragonite and Giratina and the others also returned.
“What’s going on? Why is the fight so exaggerated?” Ling Fei and the others asked.
“Sit down first, I’ll tell you slowly,” Chichi said helplessly. “#¥@*&¥”
An hour later, Mu Li couldn’t help but yawn: “How much longer are they going to fight?”
Hatterene and Ninetales fought higher and higher, and the power of their moves grew stronger and stronger. Everyone occasionally felt a strong tremor.
“Soon, I think their Psychic power is almost depleted,” Gardevoir looked at Ninetales and Hatterene, analyzing simply.
Even Mewtwo couldn’t help but exclaim: “Jealous women are truly terrifying.”
“Who isn’t?” Gardevoir sighed, looked at Mu Li, and said, “If you don’t give them a way to back down soon, I feel like they’re going to team up against you.”
Thinking of the looks those two were giving him, Mu Li couldn’t help but shiver. He immediately walked out and shouted towards the sky: “Stop fighting, it’s time to eat.”
The two Pokémon seemed to have a tacit understanding. As soon as they heard Mu Li’s words, they stopped the entire battle as if on command.
The two Pokémon glared at each other as they descended from the sky, simultaneously letting out a cold snort, not even glancing at each other.
Mu Li couldn’t help but sigh, but he didn’t know what to do. He could only stand awkwardly like a stereotypical straight man next to Ninetales and Hatterene.
Chichi watched this scene and couldn’t help but lament: “Indeed, being a scumbag comes with a price.”
As he spoke, he secretly recorded this scene and posted it on his Moments, with the caption being the exact words he had just spoken.
