131: Section 131

Moreover, the existence of Miraidon and the aura of Arceus also proved that Zhang Yu was definitely not problematic.

Of course, there was another point: just as Zhang Yu had thought, it had actually been observing in secret for a period of time before its initial appearance.

It was a coincidence; it was originally preparing to unfreeze Jigglypuff, but it didn't expect to encounter Zhang Yu and his companions.

Chapter 153: Taming and Farewell! (Seeking self-subscription)

Wait! Did I hear that correctly? Articuno wants to give Vulpix to Anchor?

From the current situation, it seems to be true, but we don't know what Articuno said, so we can't be completely sure.

It shouldn't be considered a gift; it should be said that it's entrusting Vulpix to Anchor's care.

Anyway, that's the gist of it; you understand.

Isn't this too enviable?

Yes, we don't even have a chance to catch Vulpix, yet Anchor has someone directly bringing Vulpix to him, and it's Articuno itself delivering it.

If only I had such a good opportunity.

Don't even think about it; how could ordinary people like us encounter such an opportunity?

That's right, Anchor clearly has connections with Legendary Pokémon; otherwise, Articuno wouldn't have given him a Vulpix right away.

It makes me want to go there and try my luck; maybe I'll get lucky and encounter some rare Pokémon, or a very cute one?

Don't think about such things; that place is still under lockdown.

Sigh, I wonder how long that place will be locked down?

I don't know; after all, there are three Legendary Pokémon, so the officials will definitely be very cautious, and with that caution... who knows how long the lockdown will last.

There's nothing that can be done; no one wants to see what happened with Raikou again.

Yes, it's a good thing Anchor arrived in time last time and stopped Raikou; otherwise, who knows what a big mess it would have caused.

Sigh, although Anchor's place is definitely out of reach, we can still go to other snowy places, right? Maybe we'll encounter Snom, or even Vulpix? I just bought a Poké Ball, so I can leave right away.

You just bought a Poké Ball now? Isn't that a bit too slow?

Even if you buy a Poké Ball now, you probably won't be able to get a plane ticket... anyway, tickets from here to places like Changbai Mountain were already sold out.

Our tickets are also sold out here; I originally wanted to fly to Changbai Mountain, but now I can only drive there.

No way? You're not only snatching Poké Balls, but also plane tickets?

There's no choice; who said Snom and Frosmoth aren't both good-looking? And now there's another reason, and that's for Vulpix.

Although the Water Friends in the live stream didn't know what Articuno had told Zhang Yu, they could guess part of the content just from Zhang Yu's reaction.

This made them incredibly envious, jealous, and hateful.

Of course, there were also some proactive individuals who had already started taking action while others were still complaining.

Some people had even already boarded planes flying to Changbai Mountain, Mount Emei, Mount Dabie, and other places.

They clearly intended to immediately go to those perpetually snow-covered areas to search.

I have no problem, but is Alolan Vulpix willing?

After hearing Articuno's words, Zhang Yu immediately nodded to show his understanding.

Then he looked at Alolan Vulpix, wanting to see what it thought about it.

Woo~

After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Alolan Vulpix first looked at Articuno with great reluctance, and then nodded very firmly at Zhang Yu.

The reason Alolan Vulpix could make a decision so quickly was simple: Articuno had already mentioned this to it, but it just didn't expect this day to come so soon.

Since you have both decided, there's no reason for me to refuse.

Articuno, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Alolan Vulpix.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu immediately spoke to Articuno and promised.

Alolan Vulpix, please bear with it for a moment; it will be over soon.

After gently stroking Alolan Vulpix's small head, Zhang Yu took out an Ancient Poké Ball and gently touched its head with it.

Then Alolan Vulpix transformed into a red light and was taken into the Ancient Poké Ball.

Then, the Ancient Poké Ball, after falling onto the snow, symbolically swayed twice and then lay motionless there.

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu immediately picked up the Ancient Poké Ball again and released Alolan Vulpix.

Alright, go and say your final goodbyes to Articuno; although you won't be seeing each other forever, you probably won't see each other for a short time at least.

Then Zhang Yu patted Alolan Vulpix's small head and reminded it.

Woo~

Alolan Vulpix, upon hearing this, paused slightly and then immediately ran towards Articuno.

No way? Anchor actually managed to catch Vulpix? This is truly too enviable.

This makes me so envious I'm experiencing plasmolysis!

Hahaha! I also succeeded in catching one! Great!

Are you saying you also caught a Vulpix? No way?

Of course... not! But although the Pokémon I caught isn't Vulpix, it's my first Pokémon—Rattata!

Tsk~ I saw you so excited; I thought you had caught a Vulpix.

After all, it's catching your first Pokémon, so being a little happy is actually quite normal.

Speaking of catching Pokémon, I just saw an interesting news story: someone in the United States actually successfully caught a Pokémon!

No way? Given the situation in the United States, they can actually catch Pokémon?

If it were an ordinary person, it probably wouldn't be possible, but that person is a bit special; he's a member of an animal protection organization.

Animal protection organization? Could he be a small animal protector?

Don't associate him with small animal protectors; he's a member of the World Animal Protection Association, and he's also a relatively influential figure locally. When the United States just announced that it was going to war with Pokémon, he organized several anti-war protests.

It's just a pity that he ultimately failed, and not long after that, he was assassinated and almost died. Although the United States government stated it was just an accident, people who understand these things know better.

However, that seems to have been a blessing in disguise for him, because that Pokémon was caught while he was recovering from his injuries back in his hometown.

And now, he has come forward again, using his successful case of catching a Pokémon to rally many people to participate in protest marches.

Hiss~ He's really fighting hard.

Upon seeing Zhang Yu successfully catch Alolan Vulpix, the Water Friends, who were already very envious of him, became even more so.

Chapter 154: The Mysterious Vanillite! (Begging for flowers, monthly tickets, and recommendation tickets)

And from some of their conversations, some information about the United States was also revealed.

...

Upon seeing these bullet comments, Zhang Yu also nodded secretly.

From these bullet comments, it seems that the first Trainer in the United States is indeed someone who truly loves Pokémon; he is even willing to sacrifice his life for them, so it's no wonder he was able to gain the Pokémon's approval in such an environment.

And with his successful case, it will prompt more people to make a choice and make up their minds.

If this trend continues, the war between the United States and Pokémon should stop soon.

And as long as the United States settles down, many things will be easier to handle.

Woo~

It was at this moment that Alolan Vulpix ran towards him again.

It seemed that it had already finished saying goodbye to Articuno.

As Zhang Yu looked towards Articuno, he saw Articuno nod at it, then flap its wings and fly up, quickly disappearing into the sky.

However, Zhang Yu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but as Articuno left, he felt as if it had let out a sigh of relief.

And since Articuno had flown away, Zhang Yu and his companions began to walk down the mountain.

Of course, to make the journey more interesting, he chose a different route down the mountain than the one they took to come up.

Immediately after saying goodbye to Articuno, Alolan Vulpix's mood was noticeably low.

Woo?

However, this situation didn't last too long. After they had walked for a while, Alolan Vulpix seemed to have discovered something and immediately jumped out of Zhang Yu's embrace, then dashed away in a flash.

Sigh, let's go, we'll follow and see.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly and then quickly followed.

The only thing Zhang Yu was glad about was that Alolan Vulpix hadn't run too far, stopping behind a small snowdrift.

And in front of that small snowdrift... was a large ice cream cone?

No, Zhang Yu quickly realized that it wasn't ice cream, but rather a Vanillite.
