Although there was one more person in the party, Hoodlum and Xiaomi's basic tasks remained the same. They were still busy with their own tasks during dinner.
Lingling saw Hoodlum cooking and wanted to help, but she cut her finger. Fortunately, it wasn't a big injury. Hoodlum didn't dare to give such a clumsy person the task of cooking. Although Xiao Mi couldn't cook, she had never cut her finger.
Hoodlum watched as Ling Ling went to look for Xiao Mi. He was thinking about why this rocket team called Ling Ling approached him. Capture? Bait? Or something else, but he still couldn't figure it out. If they were here for a mission, why would the Rockets send such a person? They were underestimating his intelligence.
Hoodlum didn't know that the leader of the Rocket Team, Ban Mu, had only sent her out on a mission to get rid of Ling Ling. In fact, Ban Mu didn't have much hope for Hoodlum to join the Rocket Team, especially for someone from Zhenxin Town who was from a proper village. He didn't think that Hoodlum would join an evil organization.
That night, Hoodlum kept an eye on Ling Ling for any strange behavior, but he found that she had slept soundly the entire night. Hoodlum gave up on his guess. Perhaps they had just happened to meet on the road. Early the next morning, the three of them formed a team and continued to cross the forest.
The addition of the clumsy Ling Ling slowed down Hoodlum's team, but it also made the team more energetic.
Although it hadn't even been a day, Ling Ling felt very happy traveling with Hoodlum and Amy. She had basically forgotten her mission. Now, she just wanted to be a 'trainer' and experience the fun of adventure with the two of them.
"The Pikachu Forest is in front of us. After this forest, we can reach Stone Town!”Hoodlum and the others came to a small hill. From here, they could see the endless forest.
"Wow, what a big forest. This is the first time I've seen it.”Ling Ling exclaimed as she watched from the side.
"Is Pikachu Forest the name of this forest? This is the first time I've heard of a forest named after a Pokémon.”Xiao Mi said.
Hoodlum smiled." The forest got its name because there are many wild Pikachus living here. If we're lucky, we might even be able to tame one or two."”
After saying that, he started to walk down the mountain. Xiao Mi and Ling Ling hurriedly followed him.
"Taming Pokémon? I've never seen how to tame a Pokémon before.”Ling Ling asked with interest.
Ah Fei and Xiao Mi turned to look at Ling Ling. As trainers, who hadn't seen a Pokémon tamed? It was a strange thing.
"Didn't you tame that Gilly Egg?”Xiao Mi asked.
"No, Xiao Ji was given to me by my grandfather. I used to live with my grandfather, so I've never seen other trainers.”Ling Ling said.
Ling Ling's grandfather? Hoodlum thought that if Ling Ling was on the Rocket Team, her grandfather might be an important figure in the team. Otherwise, the team would not have let such a person join. Hoodlum was interested in investigating Ling Ling's background.
"Do you know Pikachu?" Hoodlum asked.
"Of course I know. It's a small electric rat. It's yellow and has two electric bags on its face.”Ling Ling recalled the things she remembered in the past. She suddenly remembered that when she was young, she wanted to stroke Pikachu in the cage, but Pikachu gave her electricity and scared her. She added,"It's a magical treasure that's difficult to get along with.”
"Ah ~~" Hoodlum and Xiao Mi exclaimed together. They didn't expect that Pokémon Knowledge Xiaobai to be able to provide such information.
"When did you read this information?”Xiao Mi asked.
"No, I just heard my grandfather talk about these things when I was very young, so I remembered them all.”Ling Ling explained with a smile.
"When you were very young? You have a good memory." Hoodlum said.
"Is that so? People often say that." Ling Ling smiled happily.
In that case, she wasn't completely without merits! Hoodlum and Amy thought at the same time.
The three of them chatted happily and soon entered the Pikachu Forest. The Pikachu Forest was an undeveloped forest, and there were no roads in the forest. The three of them carefully identified the direction and followed the map.
Cher, who was walking alone in front of the group, suddenly pricked up her ears and heard sounds from both sides.
"What's wrong? Xue Li." Hoodlum asked.
"Wuuu ~" Cher cried out and ran into the forest.
Although the three of them didn't know what was going on, they quickly followed Cher. Pokémon's hearing was much better than humans.
Shirley passed through the forest and soon stopped under a big apple tree. She looked up at the tree.
" Don't tell me he just wants to eat the fruit?" Hoodlum thought to himself. He looked up and saw ripe apples hanging all over the tree. He couldn't help but want to pick them and taste them.
Just as Hoodlum was about to walk under the apple tree, a yellow figure quickly darted out from the leaves and ran away.
"It's Pikachu!" Hoodlum shouted and chased after them with Cher. Xiao Mi and Ling Ling followed closely behind.
Hoodlum, who was chasing behind, saw that the Pikachu was obviously young. It wasn't running fast. It didn't take long for Pikachu to reach the river. There was no way forward. The Pikachu, who had nowhere to go, jumped onto a tree by the river.
"Wait, Ah Fei!" Xiao Mi quickly stopped Hoodlum, who was about to subdue Pikachu, and said,""It's just a little Pikachu. There's no need to subdue it!”
Hoodlum was stunned and put away his treasure ball. That's right, the Pikachu on the tree was just a young one. It was too small to use in battle. Before he transmigrated to this world, he had always wanted to have a Pikachu of his own. It was rare to see one here, so he was a little impulsive. Fortunately, Xiaomi reminded him in time. A mature trainer should be able to distinguish which magical treasures could be subdued and which could not.
The Pikachu in front of him was obviously untamed. It was still growing, and it was too early for battle.
Hoodlum sighed. He felt that it was a pity. If it was an adult Pikachu on the tree, he would have subdued it without any hesitation.
"Aren't you going to subdue it?" Ling Ling asked.
"Yes, I am." Hoodlum looked at Pikachu, who was hiding in a tree out of fear, and said,""Wild Pikachu are very afraid of people, so they are not easy to get along with. However, if they treat you as a friend, then you will be a very intimate partner!”
Ling Ling didn't quite understand what he meant. According to her understanding, these Pikachus didn't hurt humans. They just didn't come into contact with humans because they were afraid of them.
"Pikachu ~ Come here, it's too dangerous up there.”Ling Ling shouted at Pikachu who was on the tree.
" Wild Pikachu is very afraid of people," Hoodlum thought to himself. He didn't stop Ling Ling from shouting.
Strangely, Pikachu looked down from the tree curiously and reacted to Ling Ling's shout.
Hoodlum and Amy were shocked. Was this a natural affinity? This clumsy and naive girl in front of him actually had such talent?
Faced with Ling Ling's shout, Pikachu seemed to have given up on fear and vigilance. It wanted to get down from the tree, but the branches were very thin. It accidentally stepped on the air and fell from the tree. Under the tree was the river, and Pikachu fell straight into the river.
"Pikachu, danger!" Lingling was close to the river. Seeing Pikachu fall into the river, she jumped into the air to hug it regardless of the danger.
The clumsy Ling Ling outdid herself this time. She hugged Pikachu in the air and the two of them fell into the river together!
"It's dangerous!" Hoodlum quickly threw out his precious ball and ordered,""Gothard Duck, use your telekinesis!"
A white light flashed from the treasure ball, and then the Gotha Duck appeared on the shore. It quickly used its telekinetic skill. Ling Ling and Pikachu, who were about to fall into the river, were surrounded by blue light and floated in the air, avoiding the end of being drenched.
The Gotha Duck used its psychic power to pull Ling Ling and Pikachu back to the shore. Hoodlum and Amy rushed forward.
"How could you do such a dangerous thing!”Xiao Mi said angrily. She was frightened when she saw Ling Ling fly out.
"I'm sorry," Ling Ling apologized softly,""I saw that Pikachu was in danger, so I wanted to save it.”
"It's good that you're all fine! See how Pikachu is doing?" Hoodlum consoled.
The three of them looked at Pikachu and found that it was curled up in Ling Ling's arms with its eyes closed in fear. After a while, it felt that it didn't fall into the river. Pikachu gradually opened its eyes and saw Ling Ling looking at it with concern. Pikachu happily called out and hugged Ling Ling.
"You two became friends so quickly. Ling Ling, you're amazing.”Xiao Mi said enviously when she saw Ling Ling stroking Pikachu's soft fur.
Hoodlum didn't say anything, but he was very envious. It could only be said that this little Pikachu's personality was closer to Ling Ling's. He was a battle-type person, so Pokémon with a fighting spirit got along well with him.
Ling Ling hugged Pikachu for a while and put it down."It's fine now. You can go back to the forest.”
"Pikachu ~" Pikachu looked at Ling Ling with reluctance, as if it didn't want to leave. It had always liked Ling Ling, and after Ling Ling saved it, it became fond of her.
Hoodlum and the others bid farewell to Pikachu and continued on their way. Pikachu watched the three of them walk away and made a decision to run into the forest.
Lingling didn't seem to be sad about Pikachu's departure. She had never tamed a Pokémon before, so she felt that perhaps letting it go back to nature was the best choice. If it was Hoodlum, he would have used the Pokémon's affection for him to tame it.
Cher, who was resting on Hoodlum's shoulder, suddenly reacted and looked ahead.
Hoodlum and the other two immediately stopped. Was something about to appear again? There was a commotion in the grass in front of them, and then a petite yellow figure came out. It was the little Pikachu that had been rescued just now.
Did it want to go with Ling Ling? Hoodlum was a little dizzy. He had never encountered such a good thing before. Was this fate?
" Pikachu, Pikachu saw Ling Ling in the team, so he ran over happily and jumped into Ling Ling's arms.
"Looks like it really likes you.”Xiao Mi smiled.
"Then what should I do?" Ling Ling said in a panic. She had never experienced this before and didn't know what to do.
"Subdue it." " Other than fighting," Hoodlum said," this kind of emotional investment is also a form of submission.”
Mi nudged Hoodlum with his elbow, as if blaming him for using the word 'emotional investment' to sound unpleasant.
"But how should I subdue it?" Ling Ling asked.
Ah Fei and Xiao Mi almost fell. They had forgotten that Ling Ling had said that she had never seen anyone tame.
Hoodlum took out an empty ball from his waist and handed it to Lingling.""Press the switch on it twice and let Pikachu come into contact with the ball to subdue it.”
Ling Ling took the ball and asked Pikachu,""Are you willing to be subdued by me?"
" Pikachu!" Pikachu said happily. He jumped out of Ling Ling's arms and stood in front of her, waiting quietly.
"Good! Go, baby ball." Ling Ling said as she threw her precious ball.
Although it was the first time, the ball hit Pikachu very well. Then, a red light flashed in the ball and the Pikachu was pulled in. The switch on the ball flashed and stopped. Ling Ling completed her first tame.
S: Personally, I feel that the plot is very difficult to write. Compared to the plot, I prefer to write Pokémon battles. These few chapters are not well written. My mind is empty and I don't know what to write. Fortunately, I finished this paragraph. Because of a mistake, I added an extra character. It was very different from my original arrangement. It's not easy to write the rest ~~
