Chapter 45: Flying Mantis (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

When old friends meet, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of talk, and while there is still a period of time before the game, Alan chatted with Sakai Sanju, and the content of the conversation between the two is naturally about the insect elves.

Although Sakai Sanshou is not from a professional background, he has never had much understanding of insect elves than ordinary elf research scholars.

Alan is a top student of the Manjin Academy, although he is not a trainer specializing in insect elves, but after systematic study and extensive reading of the precious books in the Manjin Academy, his understanding of insect elves is far beyond ordinary people.

Naturally, the two have a common language, and after a short exchange, the two also have their own gains.

"This guy is really here, damn it, this time I have to catch a rare insect elf in the Johto area, otherwise it will not be easy to win him."

Yuko Morita saw Sakai Sanju, who was talking happily with Allen at this time, and muttered in her heart.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Sakai Sanju's record was there, and the number of championships won was much more than her, so in her heart, Sakai Sanshou was her strongest competitor in this insect hunting tournament.

Soon, 9:30 a.m. arrived, and this year's insect hunting conference also started as scheduled, and the two quickly ended the exchange, and then lined up according to the staff's arrangement.

Similar to the rules of the game, each contestant receives 20 park balls, and then uses the park balls to catch their favorite insect pokemon within the specified time, but in the end, only one of them can be used for selection.

"See you soon, Alan."

Sanju Sakai was in front of Allen, and after receiving 20 park balls from the staff, he said to Allen.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked into the woods deep in the natural park with an ancient dragonfly.

One of the rules of the tournament is that participants can only bring one pokemon to play, so when Alan gets 20 park balls, he also temporarily hands over Mizuse's Poké Balls to the staff for safekeeping, and then takes the Tutu dog into the woods of the nature park.

The area of the natural park is very large, at least 30,000 square meters, and more than 70% of the area is covered with forests, and the 200 contestants scattered in it disappeared all at once.

As soon as Alan and Tutu entered the woods, he immediately took out his phone, unlocked it, and clicked on a video of the duck-billed fire dragon releasing a vortex of flames stored in the memory card, and then asked the Tutu to perform imitation moves.

When Tutu heard this, a pair of eyes immediately focused on the movements of the duck-billed flame dragon in the video, and in a moment's thought, he imitated the move, and then successfully copied the flame vortex move temporarily by imitating the move.

Flame has always been the best choice to deal with insect elves, and the flame vortex is a fire move used to trap the enemy, which is undoubtedly a very good choice in terms of subduing insect elves.

After making the necessary preparations before subduing the insect elf, Alan and the Tutu set off again, and soon he encountered a wild insect elf, a very fat unicorn worm, who was happily eating the leaves.

For the selection rules of the insect trapping conference, Alan has long been aware of it, and the higher the rarity of the insect elves, the higher the score.

Of course, the rarity referred to here is based on the rarity of the insect elves in the Johto area.

For example, the rarity of the former is naturally much higher than that of the latter in the Johto area, but if it is replaced by the Flying Mantis and the hunting butterfly, then the rarity of the latter in the Johto area is often higher than that of the Flying Mantis.

Therefore, the best way for contestants to get a high score is to subdue bug pokemon from other areas in the nature park.

Unfortunately, due to the territorial exclusivity of wild elves, the number of insect elves from other regions in the Johto area has always been very small, and although the natural park is large, it is not easy to find a insect elf from other regions here.

In addition to the rarity, the strength of the insect pokemon is also very important, the stronger the strength, the higher the score.

Although the unicorn insect he encountered was different in size from the same kind of person, it was obviously not aimed at Allen, who had won the championship, and after he glanced at it lightly, he confirmed that this unicorn insect was not an ultra-rare flash elf, and quickly left with Tutu dog.

"Hmm~, the notch on this trunk is left by the Flying Mantis, good luck, it seems that there are Flying Mantis infested around here."

After about five or six minutes of wandering in the woods, Alan found some suspicious notches on the trunk of a large tree, he went up to take a closer look, and soon confirmed that it was left by a certain flying mantis, and his mood suddenly improved.

Although the Flying Mantis is not a pokem from other regions, it is definitely a very rare level among the insect elves in the Johto region, and it may be that the pot is even rarer than him.

In previous insect trapping conferences, those who can catch the flying mantis are the favorites to win the championship.

After Alan found the trail of the Flying Mantis, he began to quickly call up the relevant information of the Flying Mantis in his mind, which is a kind of elf that is accustomed to the king, and there are also a very few who like to be alone, and they generally inhabit the tallest trees in their territory.

Managers of nature parks can tolerate bug elves thriving here, but never allow too many dangerous bug elves.

As the insect elf with the highest danger index in the Johto area, the manager of the natural park will not let it go, and basically regularly invite the alliance rangers to come over and clean it up.

Therefore, the number of flying mantis in natural parks is very scarce, and it is basically impossible to form a group, and they generally live alone.

"The tallest tree in the neighborhood looks like it's going to climb up and take a look."

After Alan briefly went through the information about the Flying Mantis in his mind, he began to look around the neighborhood, trying to find the tallest tree, but he found that it was useless to do so, so he had no choice but to climb the tree.

Alan has been exercising since he was a child, and his skills are still good, and with some effort, he finally climbed to the top of a large nearby tree, and then began to look for the location of the tallest tree nearby.

Soon, he discovered that there was a large tree standing out from the crowd to the southwest.

After finding his target, Alan quickly climbed down the tree and headed straight southwest with the Tutu dog.

Along the way, Alan also encountered a lot of insect elves, such as unicorn worms, big needle bees, and bada butterflies, which are very common elves in the city.

For these insect elves, Alan is in line with the principle that people don't offend me and I don't offend people, and he walks away at a glance, and if he doesn't take the initiative to attack, he will also be ruthless.

The naïve idea that all elves are good friends of human beings, Alan doesn't believe it at all.

He had read many history books of the elf world at the Manjin Academy, and he knew very well what the situation was like for humans before the emergence of the profession of trainer, which was an era of barbarism and heroism.

As he got closer to the target tree, Alan found more and more notches on the trunks of nearby trees, many of which were newly carved, and it was clear that the flying mantis did indeed inhabit the vicinity.

"Galu~"

Suddenly, the Tutu dog beside Allen moved his ears slightly, and then barked softly.

When Alan heard this, he knew that this was a Tutu dog warning him, and his footsteps suddenly paused, and his heart quickly became vigilant.

In the next second, there was a sound of chatter in the grass near the two, and just as both of them were nervously focusing on it, a green caterpillar slowly walked out of it.

When Alan and Tutu saw the green caterpillar, their nervous expressions suddenly relaxed, and they looked at each other, and then they both breathed a sigh of relief.

But in the next second, the two seemed to have made an appointment, and immediately jumped in opposite directions, and then, a flying praying mantis suddenly fell from the sky, and the sharp blade slashed straight at the position where the Tutu dog was standing just now.
