Time goes back to two hours ago.

The town of Sand Masato, deep in the jungle.

In a scorching clearing, a burning, completely scrapped helicopter lies in the middle.

Almost half of the broken wings and other steel parts were buried deep in the earth.

At the edge of the clearing, a tall, burly old man with a beard and a gray beard, wearing a dark suit and a black trench coat, looked at the completely discarded communicator in his hand, and after a moment of silence, threw it into flames.

Then he turned his gaze slightly, looked at the long-tailed monster hand standing next to him, nodded, and said, "Thank you for your help." ”

"Horn ......"

The long-tailed monster hand raised his head and looked at the human in front of him who had been pulled out of the crashed helicopter by himself, and took two steps back in some fear.

It's not that it's cowardly, it's because the expression of this guy in front of him is too scary.

Obviously, he had just experienced a life-and-death crisis, but there was no fluctuation on his face, as if the person trapped in the crashed helicopter was not him, he kept his expressionless appearance, and even the voice of thanks was like eating a frozen wind head-on.

Combined with the wound on the top of his head that was still oozing blood, this look of not caring about his current situation was simply terrifying and terrifying.

The long-tailed monster hand didn't care why the other party was like this, so he hurried up and slipped away.

Dr. Yamanashi looked at the other party's rapidly disappearing back, his thick and tall white eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he raised his hand and touched the cold face, and was expressionless for a few seconds.

After briefly identifying the direction, he picked up the briefcase on the ground and began to leave.

It's just that compared to the nimble and fast long-tailed monster hand, Dr. Yamanashi takes every step very slowly, and with each movement, a little bit of red liquid keeps dripping down his forehead and trouser legs to the ground.

But for such a scene where he should feel the pain, Dr. Yamanashi seemed not to be hurt, and after just a faint glance, he continued to drag his lame leg and continue to move forward firmly.

And nearly an hour after he left, several heavy footsteps rang out.

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

Four large wolfdogs, mainly gray-black, with bright red pupils, leaped out of the bushes.

After quickly twitching their noses on the ground to identify the scent, the four large wolfhounds quickly locked onto the blood stains on the ground.

Soon, two middle-aged men in brown mercenary suits also walked out, and the smiles on their faces gradually brightened after seeing the blood stains surrounded by the big wolf dogs.

"I've finally found this old thing, so I'll just say that my feeling is very accurate."

"Then we'll report directly to the leader and Lord J now?"

Another person instantly refused: "Report what?" Something that didn't have a word to start reporting? What are you going to do if you don't find it in the end, and use your dog's brain to fill in the gaps? ”

"This ......"

The man who made the report froze.

Indeed, after all, that Lord J is a lawless existence with the connivance of the leader, and if it is reported and there is no follow-up, the fate of the two of them will definitely be miserable.

"Then I'll follow now?"

"Waste ......"

Before the two of them could finish speaking, the communicator in their ears suddenly rang, and a slightly hoarse female voice sounded, but it seemed to exude an infinite chill.

"Did you find a clue?"

"I didn't ...... Not...... No. ”

"What a bunch of useless rubbish, and you can't find an injured old man."

After that, the female voice on the opposite side was silent for a long time, and continued: "But it doesn't matter now, since you can't find it, then just expel all the Pokémon and trainers in the vicinity, as long as those who are crazy and scared, and eventually form a beast tide, I don't believe that I can't find any trace of that old thing and that guy." ”

Hearing this, the two fell silent.

"It seems that your ears are deaf, if you don't need to, I can cut them off for you, and if you still don't find anything in the end, then I hope that the big wolfhound will bring back not you, but your head."

After that, the communicator hung up, and the two looked at each other with a sigh of relief.

"So are we going to find someone now, or are we going to expel those Pokémon as Master J said?"

"Are you really stupid?"

The other person knocked a crooked peanut on the man's head and scolded: "Wherever the Pokémon beast tide is triggered, it doesn't affect the old man, we just need to make this place messy with the other guys while following the bloodstains to find the old man and catch him, and complete either of the two tasks without being punished, if both are completed, they will even be reused, understand!?" ”

"I see, or you have a good brain."

Then the two drifted away.

And time passes invisibly, minute by minute.

……

Phew!!

In the distance, several bird Pokémon suddenly flapped their wings violently and rapidly, as if they had been frightened, and flew into the air in a panic.

Behind it, there were several other Pokémon in a similar situation who reacted in the same fear.

Aoyagi glanced at it slightly, didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to discuss matters related to "assistance" with Barumon.

As he had guessed before, the timid but life-loving Barumon happily agreed to Aoyagi's suggestion, and said that he was very willing to do what the "auxiliary" should do.

"I've often been underfed since I was born because I'm not good at fighting, and it doesn't seem to have changed much since I evolved, but I also want to help you Aoyagi, and I'm satisfied with the way it suits me.

"And...... I'd also like to see images where I can go crazy and use moves that increase my combat power with my companions. ”

As if he was afraid that he would affect Aoyagi's judgment, Barumon deliberately said in a very sincere tone.

Aoyagi smiled and nodded, and did not continue to be pretentious.

"Next, it's time to briefly formulate the moves you want to learn next."

Barumon only needs to use its own plant-like instinct to wipe the edges, and then consume physical strength to learn it, so in order to optimize it, it is natural to master the moves that can come in handy.

For example, the roots of the feet are planted in the soil to restore physical strength.

For example, cotton spores derived from mushroom spores that reduce their movement speed.

For example, it can protect teammates from all ailments through the refreshing floral scent.

Another example is the paralysis powder that is very useful in various battles to make the opponent fall into a state of paralysis, and the hypnotic powder that falls asleep.

These are all very meaningful moves.

Barumon is also very quick and serious in the process of mastering.

One move after another appeared in the [Mastered Moves] column of Barumon at a scrambling speed.

I don't know how long it has been since Barumon has begun to develop towards parasitic seeds......

Boom!

As if something was stomping on it, the ground shook suddenly.

Aoyagi, who was explaining the flowering and fruiting process and the seed change process to Barumon, looked at the location of the sound coming from the previous bird Pokémon.

In the next second, a louder and heavier vibration sounded.

Immediately, the ground began to shake continuously, and even the gravel and clods on the ground began to change positions in shaking.

And the shaking is slowly intensifying, and later, even Aoyagi himself feels a little unstable.

This phenomenon ......

Aoyagi inexplicably thought of the tide of Pokémon beasts that fled all over the mountains caused by the fleeing Yato and Kuruga when he was on the outskirts of Marina City.

Could it be that this time is the same?

Aoyagi opened the panel, and the surroundings turned blue, and in the direction of his gaze, all the Pokémon information appeared in front of him.

Even Aoyagi was surprised this time.

The information that appeared in front of him was just a blink of an eye, and there were no less than dozens of Pokémon, and even at this time, they were still soaring at a very terrifying speed, and after easily breaking through a hundred, they began to move towards two hundred.

Even after a short time, there was no sign of stopping when it reached two hundred.

Aoyagi was shocked and couldn't help frowning.

Even though this is a jungle with a very good environment, is the number of Pokémon that appear a little too much?
