Chapter 182 The Scorpion Who Got Caught
"what? What?"
Suddenly, a sound from the horizon caught Xiao Guang's attention. She braced herself with her hands on the ground, straightened up, and looked up.
Suddenly, a... no, a group of dark figures emerged from the dense bushes.
The group of dark figures soared in the air, then suddenly began to scatter, flying towards various stalls in the suburbs and around people picnicking nearby.
"Those are... Scorpions?"
"There's also a Scorpion King."
Upon seeing this scene, Ash suddenly remembered that he had caught Gliscor in this city.
But if we go back again, will we encounter the same Scorpion again? Or will we capture the same Scorpion King that Shinji captured in the past?
Ash gazed thoughtfully at the scorpions flying all over the sky and couldn't help but think to himself.
Wait a minute...
Just then, Ash seemed to remember something. Looking at the scorpions flying towards them from high above, he immediately realized what was happening.
"Shh-"
Dark shadows flew past them, and Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang couldn't help but let out cries of pain.
Pikachu instinctively wanted to retaliate with Thunderbolt, but fearing it might accidentally shock the people around it, it could only retreat with the Gliscor.
The Scorpio tide comes quickly and recedes just as fast.
Soon the surging scorpions dispersed, leaving behind only a messy picnic mat.
"Our..."
"Lunch......"
Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang stared blankly at the empty mat, their eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.
Not only their lunch, but even Pikachu's lunch was stolen by the Scorpions. Pikachu tearfully straightened his food plate, but there wasn't a single grain of food left.
"Phew~ thank goodness."
"???"
Just as everyone was lost in grief, Ash suddenly spoke up, and everyone turned their attention to him.
Ash was seen with two sandwiches in his mouth and one in each hand, but a lunchbox had fallen to the ground at his feet. It seemed that Ash had risked his life to protect these last few sandwiches.
"Ah~ sorry, sorry. These guys were flying way too fast with the wind at their backs, and there were so many of them... I didn't have time to react, so I had to prioritize protecting my lunch."
Ash apologized to the two of them in a slightly muffled voice.
"Um... at least we managed to protect the other two plots. Do you want them?"
Seeing that Dawn and Brock's eyes were somewhat vacant, Ash placed the sandwich in front of them and waved it.
"Of course I want it!"
"Oh...it's a pity they only have fruit left."
Just as the two were about to resign themselves to their fate and accept the last two sandwiches that Xiaozhi had saved, another scream came from high above.
"?"
The group subconsciously looked up, but just as Xiao Zhi raised his head, he felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes, and the next second his vision was completely blocked by the shadow.
The immense impact also caused Ash to lose his footing and be knocked to the ground by the shadowy figure.
"Ugh!?"
Xiao Zhi fell to the ground.
Hikari and Brock, however, finally saw what was sitting on Ash's face with a blank expression.
"Scorpio?"
"There are still some... Did they get separated from the main group?"
Just as the two were expressing their doubts about the lone Scorpion, Scorpion, who had just recovered from the shock, began to look around. When it noticed that Ash was holding a sandwich in each of his raised hands, Scorpion let out an excited cry.
Wow!
Scorpion shouted this, then stuck out its tongue and quickly snatched the sandwiches from Ash's hands with its two pincers, finishing them off in no time.
Just as Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang realized that their last lunch had also been ruined, Scorpio patted his stomach nonchalantly and then planned to jump off Xiao Zhi's face and ride away on the updraft that had just been blown.
but--
"Wow—wait, what?!"
The scorpion had just taken off when it felt its tail being grabbed.
Then came the inversion of vision. As he rose higher and higher off the ground, Scorpion realized that Ash had grabbed his tail and lifted him up.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not trying to be mean, but don't you think it's wrong of you to bump into someone, eat their lunch, and then just walk away like that?"
"Wow?"
Scorpio tilted his head, looking at Ash who was staring back at him. Instead of feeling any guilt, he smiled brightly and stuck out his tongue, trying to get away with being cute.
At the same time, a hurried siren sounded. Turning around, they saw Officer Jenny driving Nurse Joy. After seeing Ash and the others, they hurriedly got out of the car and rushed towards them.
As she approached, before Xiao Gang's old ailment could flare up, Miss Officer Jenny rubbed her eyes and said wearily:
"Looks like we're still too late."
"Sigh...yes, this place has suffered too."
Miss Joey echoed in agreement.
Seeing the two looking so troubled, Xiao Gang snapped out of his reverie and started chatting them up. Meanwhile, the delinquent frog standing behind Xiao Gang, who had been poised to strike, scoffed disdainfully.
It looks like it's not going to have any fun today.
"Excuse me, is this about Scorpios? Is there anything we can do to help?"
Even though he hadn't eaten lunch yet, Hikaru couldn't help but ask Officer Jenny and Miss Joey, who looked so worried.
"Ah...excuse me, are you all tourists from out of town? This is quite unfortunate...hmm?"
Officer Jenny was just about to explain and politely decline Dawn's offer when her gaze suddenly faltered. She looked at Dawn, then at Ash, and finally exchanged a glance with Nurse Joy. Then, the two of them exclaimed in unison:
"Are you two the hottest duo lately?!" *2
Ash Ketchum & Dawn: "......"
For some reason, their nickname has not disappeared over time, but has instead become more and more famous in the Sinnoh region.
