143: Section 143

“So that’s how regional forms work.”

“Does that mean if we find the corresponding Unknown Land, we can freely choose between regional forms and normal forms? If that’s true, then evolving a Raichu from the Alola region isn’t as hard as we thought, at least we don’t have to rely on luck.”

“But the premise is that you can find the corresponding Unknown Land.”

“Yeah, among the Unknown Lands we’ve seen so far, only the one Anchor is currently in can evolve Galarian Ponyta Pokémon, right?”

“Indeed, other regional forms haven’t been discovered yet.”

“There’s nothing we can do about that. Including this one, Anchor has only been to two Unknown Lands.”

“Let’s take it slow. Other regional forms will eventually be unlocked.”

“Don’t rush the regional forms; Pokémon are the foundation. Even if you have an Unknown Land that can evolve into the corresponding regional form, it’s useless if you don’t have the right Pokémon, isn’t it?”

“To put it bluntly, even if you see a Pokémon you really like, you might not be able to catch it.”

“That’s true, so don’t be so picky. Catching one or two decent Pokémon first is the most important thing to do right now.”

“By the way, does anyone know what’s going on with Meowstic and Vulpix? Why did they suddenly get their fur ruffled?”

“I’m not sure either. I only saw their fur suddenly turn like that when they were huddled with Raichu.”

“Is this what Anchor just said, that Raichu unconsciously emits faint electricity?”

“Perhaps so.”

“You know, it looks pretty fun.”

“This time, it’s finally not Snivy that got hurt. Actually, Snivy was just a little bit off; I saw it trying to get closer just now.”

“Oh? Then it’s quite lucky.”

“Indeed, it’s quite lucky. If it had been a little faster, it would have suffered too.”

“Although that’s true, Snivy doesn’t have fur, so even if it got shocked, it wouldn’t really matter, right?”

“Huh? It seems that’s true…”

After hearing Zhang Yu’s explanation of regional forms, many Water Friends breathed a sigh of relief.

Since regional forms are relatively stable, that makes things easier.

What they worried about most was situations that relied on luck; those were the worst.

Just as they were thinking this, the situation with Alolan Vulpix and Meowstic drew their attention again.

The Alolan Raichu matter would definitely not be resolved anytime soon, so Zhang Yu didn’t waste much time there and continued on his way.

However, because this Pikachu had already evolved into Alolan Raichu, it naturally couldn’t continue to stand on Zhang Yu’s shoulder and had to fly on its own.

Upon learning this news, the already not-so-high-spirited Alolan Raichu became even more disheartened.

But Zhang Yu had no good solution for this, as Alolan Raichu was already so big; he truly had no other way.

And this made Pikachu’s determination not to evolve even stronger.

It didn’t want to reduce its chances of sticking to Zhang Yu because of evolution!

However, Zhang Yu was temporarily unaware of this psychological change in Pikachu.

“Boom!”

Just then, an explosion suddenly came from ahead, causing Zhang Yu to immediately look in the direction of the sound.

At first, Zhang Yu couldn’t see the source of the sound, but not long after the explosion sounded again, he saw a creature that looked like cream, with two strawberries on its head, running hurriedly from the front.

With just one glance, Zhang Yu recognized its identity: Alcremie!

“Woohoo! Woohoo!”

‘Run! Run! Bad guys are coming!’

As Zhang Yu saw Alcremie, Alcremie also saw Zhang Yu and his Pokémon, which startled it. Then it ran towards them, shouting at Zhang Yu and his Pokémon.

“Hmm? Bad guys?”

After understanding what Alcremie was trying to express, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

But before he could say anything, Alcremie had already run past them, leaving only a sweet scent.

“Vine?”

“Woo?”

Snivy and Alolan Vulpix, upon smelling the scent, immediately looked in the direction Alcremie had run off to.

“Roar!”

But before they could find Alcremie’s figure, a Dragon-type creature with three heads flew from the direction Alcremie had come from, letting out a huge roar.

After it roared, it instinctively wanted to attack Alcremie.

But when it looked over, it was immediately stunned.

Because the Alcremie it was chasing was gone; it only saw a few guys it had never seen before.

Could it be that Alcremie had escaped?

No, that’s not right. Given Alcremie’s speed, it shouldn’t have escaped so quickly. And since that possibility has been ruled out, there’s only one other possibility.

That is… Alcremie was hidden by these guys!

Thinking of this, its gaze towards Zhang Yu and his Pokémon became increasingly hostile, as if it was about to attack at any second.

“Hahaha! Raichu was disliked by Anchor because it got too big after evolving, so it has to walk on its own!”

“It’s not really disliked, is it? With its size, it really can’t stand on Anchor’s shoulder like before.”

“Indeed, and weight is also an issue. With its chubby appearance, its weight certainly can’t be light. At least fifty pounds, I’d say.”

“It should be around that weight.”

“Huh? What happened to Anchor and his Pokémon now?”

“It seems to be an explosion sound from somewhere?”

“Explosion? Could it be foreigners running here to cause trouble again?”

“Probably not. I feel it’s more like the sound of a Pokémon battle.”

“Look! A Pokémon is running from the front!”

“No, how can this blob of cream run?”

“Obviously, it’s a Pokémon.”

“What you said makes so much sense, I’m speechless.”

“Although it’s a bit rude to say, it looks so delicious. I wonder what it tastes like… By the way, can its cream be eaten? I really want to try it.”

“I don’t know if it can be eaten, but in terms of appearance, it’s really good.”

“Am I the only one curious about its panicked appearance?”

“Indeed, it looks like it’s running for its life.”

“Hiss~ It might really be running for its life! Look, another three-headed Dragon-type Pokémon is flying from over there!”

“Oh my, this three-headed Dragon-type looks really formidable at first glance!”

“Yeah, it gives off a very powerful vibe at first glance. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the one chasing that cream Pokémon from before, which is why it was scared and ran over here, right?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, that should indeed be the case.”

“A three-headed Dragon-type Pokémon, I wonder if it’s a Dragon-type Pokémon?”

“Although I really want to give you a definite answer, it’s actually hard to say. Maybe it’s just a Flying-type Pokémon?”

The Water Friends in the live broadcast room immediately started to tease Alolan Raichu after seeing its disappointed expression.

However, before they could say a few more words, the explosion from afar and the sudden appearance of Alcremie in their field of vision drew their attention.

Upon seeing this Pokémon, which seemed to be made of cream, the Water Friends were very curious.

But before they could get a good look at Alcremie, it scurried away.

Just as they wanted Zhang Yu to go after it, Hydreigon flew from afar, and its imposing figure once again drew their attention.

“To actually encounter Hydreigon, our luck is really a bit bad.”

After making eye contact with Hydreigon’s fierce gaze, Zhang Yu immediately felt a headache.

Especially the oppressive aura coming from Hydreigon’s body, which made him realize that this Hydreigon was not simple.

If it were other Pokémon, perhaps one could reason with them, but with Hydreigon, unless you beat them up first, there’s no way to reason with them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but sigh.

Then he looked at Charizard beside him.

“Charizard, you’ll be in this battle. Use Super Evolution directly.”

Although the best way to deal with Hydreigon would actually be to send out a Fairy Pokémon, he currently didn’t have any Fairy Pokémon, so he could only let Charizard, which becomes Dragon-type after Super Evolution, take the field.
