Chapter 183 Division of Labor? The Scorpion Expulsion Plan
"So, because the scorpions can't leave the city's unique wind field, they have no choice but to live in the city, and their only food source is through that kind of plundering?"
In the car, Xiao Gang recounted the events that Ms. Jenny had just explained.
If that's the case, they really can't blame the Scorpios, since they're all just trying to survive.
"But if they're just trapped here, wouldn't it be easier to just herd them into the nearby forest, or simply capture them by various means and then release them all together?"
Xiao Guang, still somewhat confused, pressed his index finger to his lips and asked the question.
"no way."
Miss Joey sighed.
"When scorpions fly, they emit a special electromagnetic wave that attracts their own kind. Capturing scorpions is relatively easy, but their leader, Gliscor, is not so easy to deal with. Among wild Pokémon, Gliscor is considered one of the strongest."
"and."
Ms. Jenny added:
"Because the wind direction in this city is very special, although the Gliscor and Gliscor King cannot easily escape, as long as they are in this city, they will always have the advantage of terrain. Under such circumstances, it is even more difficult to defeat that Gliscor King... Even though we have made requests to the trainers in the city, no one has been able to complete the task of defeating it so far."
"I see... So that's why you seemed to be politely declining Hikaru's help at the beginning..."
"But after they realized that we were capable enough, they entrusted us with the task again."
Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhi both said this, having completely sorted out their thoughts.
However, Ms. Officer Jenny was somewhat embarrassed by having her thoughts stated so bluntly.
But as embarrassed as she was, having a powerful trainer willing to help her solve her problems was the most important thing to her.
Moreover—
"Hey~ Did you hear that? Stop pretending to be asleep. You've caused a lot of trouble for this city. As a member of your tribe, you also have to bear the corresponding responsibility."
As Ash said this, he lifted Gliscor's tail and placed it in front of him, speaking earnestly.
Wow!
Scorpion waved its pincers, looking like it wanted to resist, but after being shaken by Ash, it decisively chose to bow its head.
There was nothing I could do; being constrained by others, I could only bow my head and admit my mistake.
Scorpios are still very true to themselves.
This guy really hasn't changed.
Ash thought to himself as he carried the Scorpion.
It pounced on his face as soon as they met, and after being caught, it started acting cute and innocent. With such a smooth yet somewhat clumsy personality, even Scorpio Xiaozhi wouldn't believe it wasn't him.
"Anyway, you'll have to make amends later, you hear me? You'll have to talk to your tribe's leader and persuade him to leave here with Officer Jenny and Joey."
"Ooh~"
The scorpion let out a reluctant cry, but after feeling the force gripping its tail, it could only nod silently in the end.
"Yes, that's correct."
Ash smiled and gently laid it down in his arms, then habitually let Gliscor rest on his shoulder.
This series of actions left Pikachu, who was standing nearby, completely dumbfounded.
How can you be so skilled?
Pikachu couldn't help but think that.
What's even more terrifying is that this scorpion calmly accepted this behavior, which is truly baffling to Pokémon...
Pikachu scratched its cheek with its ears drooping and thought to itself.
......
After driving for a short while, Officer Jenny led Ash and the others to the entrance of an alley and pointed inside, saying:
"The Scorpion King is inside."
"Well, I see."
As Xiao Zhi agreed, he jumped off the car.
As agreed upon in the car, Ash was tasked with dealing with Gliscor, and he was to drive Gliscor towards the northeast of the city.
Afterwards, Officer Jenny and Joey would use instruments borrowed from the weather station to observe changes in wind direction and guide the scorpion swarm toward the designated location.
As for Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang, they plan to use the tree fruit to ensure that the Scorpions will continue to follow them.
Every step is important; if you miss any step, it won't be so easy to find such a good opportunity again.
"Be careful! Don't be reckless, understand?"
Before Ash left, Dawn was still a little worried, so she rolled down the window and gave Ash some more instructions.
"Don't worry about me, wild Pokémon are no problem, especially with this guy with me, nothing will happen, right?"
"Wow!"
Scorpion reluctantly lowered its head and waved its pincers, as if confirming Ash's statement.
Although it seems a little lacking in energy.
"Alright! Cheer up! I'll treat you to something nice once things are resolved, so just focus on your work!"
Wow!
Upon hearing this, Scorpio's eyes narrowed into slits, and he waved his pincers with great interest.
It can eat its fill every day by following the Scorpion King, but it is not considered one of the stronger ones in the group. Its inferior flying skills compared to its companions always prevent it from getting the food it likes.
Therefore, although you can eat your fill, eating well is not something you can achieve every day.
Or rather, for Scorpios, even eating well once a week isn't an easy feat. Of course, in the city, what Scorpios consider eating well is like today, where they snatch the sandwiches that originally belonged to Xiaoguang and Xiaogang, instead of simply having vegetables and berries.
"You're such a realistic guy."
"Pi~"
Ash and Pikachu couldn't help but sigh as they watched the Gliscor perched on their shoulders, directing their advance.
During this time, Ash and Pikachu seemed to have forgotten, and even Gliscor itself had forgotten, that it could escape at any time if it wanted to leave or run away.
......
In a dark room.
Having just returned to their temporary residence, the Scorpion King tallied up their spoils for the day. After eating a little something, he handed over the remaining trophies to his scorpions.
For the Scorpion King, there is no real difference between being in the city and in the forest, since no one can threaten it no matter where it is.
Compared to the wild, it is easier for it to obtain food in the city, and the variety and taste are also better. In comparison, the appeal of returning to the wild is not so great.
At first, things were fine, but as time went on, the number of its underlings increased.
Looking at the densely packed scorpions sitting on the ground in front of him, the Scorpion King closed his eyes and began to think about what to do next.
If it were just a few scorpions, the commotion from fighting over food wouldn't be too big each time. But there are just too many of them right now, and if we don't plan things out properly...
“GLi?”
Just as the Scorpion King was pondering, it suddenly sensed something, abruptly opened its eyes, and a smile appeared on its lips.
Another competitor is about to come knocking on our door.
.......
P.S.: The two chapters I saved yesterday are gone again. Today is the day of the funeral, and I have to keep vigil for two days, but my family didn't tell me. I'm left with nothing. Really...sigh...
