Chapter 48 The Clumsy Maslow
Ma Zhishi has always had a loud voice, and Natsuno felt her head buzzing when she listened to him speak.
This sentence came out of nowhere, and the tone was raised an octave, which startled Xia Ye so much that he almost jumped to the side.
Seeing the exaggerated expression on M. T. S.'s face, Natsuno helplessly followed his finger and looked in that direction.
It turned out to be a Bobo struggling to get up from the ground.
Its wings were broken and bleeding, and its feet also appeared to be injured, making it unable to stand.
Without even a second thought, Natsuno knew that this was the test that Sakaki had instructed Lt. Surge to give him.
Although it was abrupt and clumsy, it was very effective.
His expression shifted to one of calm disdain, and Xia Ye tried to make his tone as indifferent as possible.
"It's just a Boogie, what's wrong with that?"
"Bobo's clearly injured, hurry and get him, kid!"
Ma Xueshi still had an exaggerated expression, but his feet didn't move an inch.
Natsuno shook his head, knowing that Ma Zhishi was watching him, but his expression remained unchanged and he didn't move his feet.
"Oh, so what? I have no obligation to heal injured Pokémon."
"I am just a researcher, and a genius researcher at that. Researching difficult problems is my specialty and my duty."
"There are so many injured Pokémon in the world, if I save them all, what will happen to my research?"
"Go ahead and save them if you want. I'll wait for you here."
Ma Zhishi, who had been watching Natsuno's expression closely, confirmed that Natsuno's tone and actions did not seem fake, and laughed heartily.
"Hey, we still have our own work to do, we can't afford to be late."
"Well, let fate decide for that guy. Isn't that just the destiny of wild Pokémon?"
Natsuno didn't respond, but just looked at Lt. Surge: "You've finished your nonsense, so hurry up."
"I still need to study those Eevee birds; that's the real reason I came here. I don't care about anything else."
In his mind, he frantically called out to the system: System, come out quickly!
Purchase a delayed-effect remote medical treatment! The target is that Bobo on the ground 10 meters away!
Xia Ye glanced at his points: 16 points, buy, buy!
As the league deliberately reduced the hype surrounding Xia Ye, his influence and income have gradually come to a standstill.
It's a lie to say I don't feel bad about spending more than a third of it right now.
But the points you earn are meant to be spent, and they're spent on healing Pokémon, so it's worth it!
Constantly reassuring himself, Natsuno followed Ma Zhishi away.
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding trees grew taller, creating a sense of being completely blocked out from the sky.
The surroundings gradually quieted down, and the sounds of bird Pokémon that used to be heard were no longer heard.
All was silent except for the monotonous sound of footsteps.
On the other side, Bobo, with its broken wing and leg, was still struggling on the ground.
As Bobo looked up, a girl in a black dress suddenly stopped in front of him.
"Poor little guy, let me help you. Fatty, heal the fluctuations."
A flash of red light appeared, and a Jigglypuff appeared on the ground, gathering energy and unleashing its attack on Poppy.
After Jigglypuff used it more than ten times, Bobo was finally able to stand up.
The girl fed the over-energy-consuming Jigglypuff a few energy cubes and then put them back into the ball.
"Fly, little guy, be careful next time."
Waving goodbye to Bobo on the ground, the girl frantically stared at her phone screen.
Location information sent from an account she had renamed "The Great Demon".
Scratching her hair, the girl walked towards the location with a helpless expression.
At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang in Xia Ye's mind as he was still on his way.
600, isn't it 6? How dare you take a kickback?
Also, half an hour has already passed? Is the Evergreen Forest really that vast?
Seeing that the system did not provide an explanation, Natsuno looked at Ma Zhishi with a face full of resentment.
"Hey, Mr. Maslow, how much longer do we have to walk? Are you sure you're not lost?"
In response to Natsuno's complaints, Lt. Surge scoffed, "I've been carrying this box for so long without complaining."
"That's right, this is the direction. We'll be there soon. I promised to show you something good."
Seeing the mysterious expression on Ma Zhishi's face, and remembering her own persona, Natsuno had no choice but to play along.
"Oh? Now that you mention it, I'm wide awake! Lead the way, please!"
"If we find something worth studying after traveling this long, then the trip will have been worthwhile."
"If there's nothing good ahead, I won't let you off the hook."
Hearing Natsuno's words, Ma Zhishi chuckled inwardly, said nothing more, and buried his head in leading the way.
After walking a while longer, Ma Zhishi led Natsuno to stop on a grassy field.
Looking at the tall trees all around, Natsuno said impatiently, "Is this the place? Where's the good stuff?"
Ma Zhishi put the box he was carrying on his shoulder down to the ground, and with a forceful tear, ripped the box open.
The tree fruits inside had rolled all over the ground. Xia Ye glanced at them and saw that they were some kinds of tree fruits he had never seen in his previous life.
But the books from this world university say that they are some tree fruits that can relieve pain and have a slight anesthetic effect.
Interspersed among them were some tree fruits, such as pomelos, which are believed to restore vitality and strength, creating a mixed and colorful array of items.
Ma Zhishi kicked the fruit apart with his feet, scattering them slightly, and stomped on them a few times, causing juice to splatter.
Xia Ye immediately smelled a faint fragrance of various tree fruits mixed together.
After finishing, Ma Zhishi pulled Natsuno behind a tree to hide.
"Kid, don't be in such a hurry. Good things don't come easily. The tree fruits are prepared for them!"
"Just wait here, they'll be coming soon by following the scent."
"Just keep a close watch. I'm really tired after walking for so long. I need to take a nap."
Ma Zhishi went to a tree and lay down, snoring within seconds.
Natsuno rolled his eyes again as he looked at the pretentious Maslow on the ground.
This guy, what's he pretending for? He carried the box with one hand all the way without even breaking a sweat.
You're tired of explaining this to me, who would believe you?
With acting this bad, I bet you'll lose your lunchbox.
Knowing in his heart that this was the place the other party had brought him to, Xia Ye stopped paying attention to him and stared at the center of the grass.
A few minutes later, a rustling sound suddenly came from under some trees not far away.
The sound grew louder as it approached, standing out prominently in the silent forest.
"They're here."
As Natsuno called softly, a small head peeked out from behind the tree.
After observing carefully and finding no danger, it jumped from behind the tree and headed straight for the fruit on the ground.
It has a furry body, brown eyes, long ears like a rabbit, and a small black nose.
It has a thick layer of downy fur around its neck, like a fluffy scarf, and the pattern at the end of its tail is serrated.
It's a male Eevee.
Natsuno activated the sharp eyes unique to Pokémon players and noticed that something was slightly off about the little guy.
His body seemed to be trembling constantly, his breathing was extremely labored, and his tail was drooping on the ground.
Her face was scrunched up, and her features seemed to be twisted together.
His eyes were bloodshot, making him look quite eerie.
His lips were clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing something.
There appeared to be a metal collar around its neck, with a red light flashing repeatedly in the center.
It stopped in front of the pile of fruit, opened its mouth as if to eat, but the suppressed sound escaped first.
"Bu Yi!!!"
The voice sounded harsh and pained.
Ibrahimovic's trembling body only slightly subsided after he ate the pain-relieving berries from the ground.
His breathing gradually became steady, and the expression on his face gradually relaxed; the pain-relieving fruit seemed to be working.
"Hey, the little guy's here! Good stuff's here!"
A hand, as large as a palm leaf fan, landed on Xia Ye's shoulder, and a sound as deep as a water vat rang out.
The sound so close to Natsuno's ear made his head buzz and startled him so much that he jumped up.
The Eevee was so frightened that it disappeared into the distance in a few moments.
Natsuno Soul hadn't returned yet, and he was startled once again by Ma Zhishi raising his voice.
"Hey kid, hurry and chase after it! The good stuff's about to get away!"
