Chapter 275: Catch Them All

The tuft of curly hair on Vulpix's head felt very soft, like a fluffy cloud, and its small head was only slightly larger than Luo Mu's palm.

The most peculiar thing was that whenever Luo Mu stroked the curly hair on Vulpix's head, he would feel a slight chill in his palm.

Luo Mu remembered that it was the ability of Vulpix in the Alola region, which could produce tiny ice particles on the curly hair on its head and tail, which was very magical.

Seeing that Vulpix was enjoying his touch very much, Luo Mu's right hand moved down and stroked its small and cute body——

The touch was also very strange. The soft hair should have been accompanied by warm body temperature, but Vulpix's body felt just the right amount of cool. Luo Mu had already imagined how comfortable it would be to hold Vulpix in the hot summer.

Vulpix shuddered, always feeling something was strange, but the treasure on Luo Mu's left hand made it unable to stop, so he ignored this strange feeling.

At this time, Vulpix's mind was full of: (ω) What delicious food is there? It's the first time to eat such delicious food!

I eat eat eat!

Stopping the action of stroking, Luo Mu looked at Vulpix, which was eating faster and faster. He thought it was an elegant little princess, but he didn't expect Vulpix to show its true colors so quickly.

Luo Mu laughed and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke, no one will snatch it from you."

"Mimi~"

Mimichu also came to Vulpix and whispered to persuade him. As long as Luo Mu was around, it would be noticed by other Pokémon, and Vulpix naturally heard the voice of Mimichu.

Knowing that Mimichu had no malicious intentions, Vulpix felt less repulsive to it and slowed down its eating.

At the same time, Vulpix felt a little embarrassed. It was really hungry, otherwise it would not have forgotten the etiquette taught by its elders.

After Vulpix was finally full and drank some water that Luo Mu brought with him, Luo Mu pieced together from Vulpix why it appeared here through the translation of Mimichu, the master of action interpretation.

First of all, this cave is not the nest of the Vulpix clan, there is no doubt about that. Whether it is the hungry Vulpix hiding in the hay or the deep claw marks on the surrounding ice walls, the clues point to the identity of the owner of this place as an ice Pokémon with sharp claws.

Vulpix must have fallen into the cave for a while, otherwise it would not be so hungry. The owner of the cave has not returned during this period, probably out looking for food. Judging from the hunger of Vulpix, Luo Mu thinks that the owner of the cave has a chance to come back today.

At that time, Vulpix, who invaded the other party's territory, might be in danger.

After eating and drinking, as if treating Luo Mu as a trustworthy human, Vulpix finally relaxed its tense spirit. Its big watery eyes were half-opened because of sleepiness, and it yawned gently. It curled up and fell asleep in Luo Mu's arms.

At this moment, Luo Mu felt that he had reached the peak of his life. Looking at the cute Vulpix, he was healed.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.

About half an hour after Vulpix fell asleep, Mimikyu looked up at the entrance of the cave. It keenly sensed the end of the cave, that is, there were some rustling movements outside.

Mimikyuu reported the situation to Luo Mu. Luo Mu stood up from the haystack, freed one hand to pat the hay stuck on his pants, and said in a deep voice: "It should be the owner of the cave who has returned."

"Miaowu~"

Vulpix also woke up because of the movement of Luo Mu getting up, and made a soft and sticky cry in a daze, as if he was acting coquettishly, and seemed to be wondering what happened.

The next moment, with a clear sliding sound echoing in the cave, two figures landed steadily on the ground one after the other. Sensing the strange smell and the uninvited presence, they immediately made angry threats.

"Swish!!"

The inexperienced Vulpix was directly frightened, and the hair all over his body exploded slightly. He timidly arched into Luo Mu's arms, just like a little ostrich.

Luo Mu looked at the owner of the cave fearlessly, and raised his lips slightly: "So it's you."

They are two Pokémon that look similar to Squamata. To be frank, they are a combination of pangolin and hedgehog porcupine elements.

Most of its skin and scales are light blue, its abdomen and mouth are white, and its claws are sharp and two-toed, and its claws are particularly large like hooks.

The most eye-catching thing is that its back is covered with dense and huge sharp spikes covered with ice. It seems that because the frozen spikes occupy a large part of its weight, their not-so-tall bodies make a dull sound when they fall to the ground.

They are - Sandslash (in the form of Alola).

The attributes are ice attribute + steel attribute, four times weak to fire and weak to fighting.

Luo Mu wondered if today is the Alola form. He just met Vulpix and Sandslash is here again.

The two Sandshrews seemed to be a pair, as the size difference was very obvious. The tall Sandshrew protected the smaller Sandshrew behind it, and warily watched Luo Mu and his group of enemies who broke into their nest.

Luo Mu squatted down without hesitation. This is an effective way to reduce the vigilance and aggressiveness of wild Pokémon in the wild.

As a Pokémon who is struggling in the wild, when you see a creature taller than you, your first reaction is definitely not to approach and ask for a touch, right?

Not every Pokémon is as naive as Vulpix.

Then, Luo Mu took out a few pomelo fruits that he brought with him. They were ripened by fruit worms. For Sandslings, this kind of food that they have probably eaten before should be able to reduce their hostility more easily.

As soon as the pomelo fruit left the container, it exuded a faint fruity fragrance, which at least made Vulpix, who buried his face in Luo Mu's arms, stare straight, but it was afraid of the two Sandslings and dared not show its head, and was completely stuck in a tangled dead end.

The two Sandslings have a keen sense of smell, and naturally they know how fragrant the tree fruit in Luo Mu's hand is, and their expressions obviously became hesitant.

Luo Mu wanted to continue to capture the two Sandshrews with food and then abduct them, but he didn't expect that the two Sandshrews suddenly turned their attention to Mimikyu——

The existence of Mimikyu was undoubtedly the highest level of threat to them. The pupils of the two Sandshrews shrank, and they roared. The ice spikes on their backs gathered the ubiquitous ice energy and turned into dense ice pillars to shoot at Mimikyu.

Icicles fell!

Luo Mu and Liuwei were naturally in the attack range of the Sandshrews.

Without his reminder, Mimikyu took a step forward, and the whole body burst into dazzling light. Under the strong light, the icicles that were whistling all collapsed.

The two Sandshrews were stunned. Mimikyu, whose reverse scale was Luo Mu, stared with angry eyes, and the shadow under him spread out, instantly connecting the shadows of the two Sandshrews.

Then, two pairs of huge and sharp shadow claws fell heavily under the surprised expressions of the Sandshrews. Only a heavy clapping sound was heard. In the center of the scattered dust, the two Sandshrew couples lost their fighting ability.

Luo Mu: "."

I felt sorry for the Sandshrews. After all, I broke into the house first and beat up the owner of the "house". It was a sin.

Thinking of this, Luo Mu thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way to make up for the two Sandshrews. He simply closed his eyes and skillfully took out two round balls from his pocket and threw them at the Sandshrews.

After the balls hit the two Sandshrews, they fell to the ground and made a few shaking sounds. After a crisp ding-dong sound, Luo Mu opened his eyes and looked at the two Poké Balls lying quietly on the ground, revealing a smile of a plan.

His idea was very simple. Since he couldn't find a way to make up for the Sandshrews for a while, he could only take them back to the farm and feed them well!

The onlooker Mimikyu: (_)?

The abacus beads are about to hit its face!

"Mew."

It seems that the breath of the Sandshrikes has completely disappeared. Vulpix has finally plucked up the courage to poke its buried ostrich head out and observe the surrounding environment with curiosity, as if it doesn't understand why the two Sandshrikes suddenly disappeared.

Luo Mu put Vulpix down from his arms and let Mimikyu take care of it. Then he picked up two Poké Balls and opened one of them after thinking for a while.

The smaller female Sandshrike appeared in the cave again. Vulpix was frightened by this and hid behind Mimikyu again.

Sandshrike is obviously a little confused now, not only because he was knocked unconscious by Mimikyu's claw just now, but also because of the strange feeling after being subdued. This made Sandshrike hesitate for a while, and finally did not attack Luo Mu.

However, Sandshrike still maintained a faint vigilance. Regarding this point, it is obviously time to use the food temptation method.

Luo Mu took out several pomelo fruits and Baofen in turn, placed them on the ground in front of the Sandshrew, and finally took a few steps back to convey to the Sandshrew that he had no hostility.

The female Sandshrew struggled for a while, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of food. She temporarily put her husband behind her and ate the food provided by Luo Mu with relish.

Once she ate, she couldn't stop. Feeling the warm current flowing in her body and the delicious taste she had never experienced before, the Sandshrew's worldview was being impacted.

It turned out that there were such delicious foods in this world.

The female Sandshrew looked at Luo Mu with a different look in her eyes. As for her aggressiveness and vigilance, she had long disappeared with her husband in the clouds.

Seeing that the Sandshrew was no longer vigilant, Luo Mu smiled and said, "Are you calm now?"

The female Sandshrew hesitated and nodded gently.

"That's right, you should know that you have been subdued by me now, right?"

Luo Mu looked at the Sandshrew, and after receiving its nod of confirmation, he said:

"To be honest, I plan to take you back to my farm, where there will be food like this every day, and even more kinds of food, and you don't have to go out in the snow all the time to find food."

The Sandshrew's eyes lit up when he heard this. Is there really such a good thing in the world?

"Of course, you who enjoy a safe home and food, naturally have to contribute to the farm when necessary - for example, keep the farm's ice cellar cold. This should not be difficult for you with ice attributes, right?"

Luo Mu put the obligations that the Sandshrews must fulfill on the table.

Before the Sandshrew could express his opinion, Vulpix, who gradually poked out his little head, widened his eyes as if they were twinkling with stars, and showed a look of longing.

Oh my God, can I eat more delicious food! ?

The female Sandshrew hesitated and was reserved for a while. It was really that the conditions given by Luo Mu were too tempting. The Sandshrew also thought that Luo Mu and Mimikyu were so strong that there was no need to deceive it. In addition, after being captured by the Poké Ball, the Sandshrew naturally had a little more intimacy with Luo Mu without affecting her rationality.

In less than ten minutes, the female Sandshrew chose to obey Luo Mu and completely sold herself out.

With the rebellious female Sandsang, the other more ferocious and aggressive male Sandsang was even easier to capture. In less than two minutes, under the brainwashing of Luo Mu and the female Sandsang, he chose to obey in a daze.

Two ice attribute Pokémon on the farm!

"Hmm. Is the blizzard still blowing outside? It seems to be similar to what I guessed."

After communicating with the two Sandsangs, Luo Mu roughly understood the current situation in the outside world.

The Sandsangs felt that the blizzard that inexplicably blew up outside was a bit unusual and weird, so they ended their foraging early and returned to the nest.

Looking at the little cute thing in his arms and the ability of its elders who must exist, Luo Mu felt that he had the answer.

This blizzard was most likely caused by the nine tails, the parent of the Vulpix, to find his children.

The ice attribute Vulpix in the Alola region has two characteristics, "Snow Hiding" and "Snowfall". The former is born to hide in the wind and snow, and the latter is like the mosquito-repellent frog king, born with the ability to bring down the wind and snow.

After a moment of hesitation, Luo Mu first put the two Sandslash back into the Poké Ball, then let Mimikyu return to his shadow, picked up Vulpix, and summoned Dragonite.

As soon as he left the Poké Ball, Dragonite looked at Vulpix in Luo Mu's arms, his eyes slightly shining, and he immediately opened his arms to give Vulpix a big hug.

Vulpix shrank back, but still chose to believe in Luo Mu and his Pokémon, and did not move, just accepting Dragonite's warm hug.

Luo Mu, who was unable to move: "."

Don't hold him, this child will be your nemesis in the future!

After Dragonite released his arms in satisfaction, Luo Mu held Vulpix and rode on its back, looking at the hole above his head, with a look of hesitation on his face.

It seems that Dragonite can't fly up because of its size?

As if Dragonite had predicted in advance that Luo Mu was going to say that it was fat, it stamped its feet angrily. Anyway, the Sandslash King and his wife had been abducted, so it would use the most violent method to get out directly--

Under the terrified expression of little Vulpix, Dragonite raised its dragon head and brewed a terrifying energy fluctuation in its mouth. The next moment, a destructive ray that almost penetrated the raging snow outside burst out!

As the cave began to collapse under the terrifying destructive power of Dragonite, it spread its wings, covered with the passionate and burning dragon attribute energy, broke through the fallen gravel and dirt in one breath, and appeared directly in the howling blizzard!

As soon as it was exposed to the blizzard, Vulpix looked around as if it had noticed something, and its reaction further verified Luo Mu's guess.

This blizzard must have been caused by Vulpix's parents!

Without hesitation, Luo Mu shouted in his mind: "System, show me the way!"

[Okay, let's go in that direction]

Following the guidance of the system, Dragonite landed on a slightly flat snowfield, and at the same time, he saw a luxurious figure looming in the wind and snow.

That was the real snow mountain elf, Ninetail (in the form of Alola) with light blue flowing hair all over its body!

People in the Alola region even regard the Alola Ninetail that appears with the blizzard as the incarnation of God, which is enough to show how sacred and elegant the Ninetail's appearance is.

In an instant, Vulpix seemed to have noticed the Ninetail looming in the blizzard, broke free from Luo Mu's arms, and ran towards the Ninetail excitedly.

Seeing this, Luo Mu was a little helpless.

Originally, he was thinking of catching Vulpix and Ninetail in one go, but now it seems that he is likely to lose both the wife and the army.

Running to the Nine-Tailed Fox, Vulpix rubbed its body with some affection. The Nine-Tailed Fox then bent down, stretched out its tongue and licked Vulpix, which had been missing for a long time, and a purring sound came from its throat.

The blizzard stopped at some point. Looking at Vulpix and Ninetail bathed in the falling sunlight, Luo Mu raised his mouth and was about to turn around and leave.

"Mew--"

At this time, Ninetail suddenly looked up and called Luo Mu.

Luo Mu paused and met Ninetail's icy blue pupils full of wisdom. Luo Mu found that he actually saw a look of scrutiny in Ninetail's eyes.

Ninetail's eyes wandered around Luo Mu and Dragonite, and he remembered what Vulpix had just told him. He could judge that Luo Mu should be a good person.

Ninetail was very open-minded and knew that this snowy mountain was created by humans. It was much older than the Eco-Dome and was very clear about the intention of humans to build the Eco-Dome.

After all, it was the Pokémon of a teacher who died of old age in Blueberry Academy.

Rather than letting Vulpix be captured in the future without knowing it, Ninetail wanted to personally choose a human who was worthy of its trust for Vulpix.

Luo Mu in front of him was undoubtedly a perfect person who met Ninetail's requirements.

He was very patient with Vulpix, generously gave delicious food, and brought Vulpix to find him. More importantly, the Dragonite made Ninetail feel that even if he had the attribute to restrain the opponent, he had no chance of winning.

It is very difficult to meet a trainer with both strength and character.

Ninetail nudged Vulpix forward with his nose and made an urging cry.

Vulpix stumbled forward and looked back every three steps. It was a little puzzled. Did its mother not want it?

But at the urging of Ninetail, Vulpix returned to Luo Mu and made a few soft cries.

Luo Mu, who noticed Ninetail's intention, picked up Vulpix and solemnly promised: "I will treat it well."

Ninetail nodded slightly, turned around and walked deep into the snowfield. The wind and snow blew again. In the white world, several Ninetails and Vulpix appeared in the direction where Ninetail left, as if waiting for it.
