Chapter 324 “Tyrunt” and "Stinger"

...

An oval golden jade stone inlaid on the forehead, bright red wide feathers Composed of crown, neck and tail, Pewter-colored body and vigorous limbs, dark red eyes are full of indifference, slightly raised mouth corners with a little disdain.

This arrogant-looking Pokémon is exactly Weavile!

Pokémon with Dark Type and ice attribute.

A Peak Level Predator in Wild Pokémon, cunning by nature, likes to move in packs against those who are slower or weaker Pokémon.

Rumors.

Weavile in Johto Region likes to deal with Swinub and Piloswine, while Weavile in Alola Region feeds on Ice Vulpix and Ice Sandshrew.

However, Natsu has seen relatively little news and news about Pokémon such as Weavile, and thought that no one knew about this evolution.

He shifted his gaze and landed on the woman who had just walked out from behind the tree, wearing a gray tight suit, with silver white short shoulder-length hair, a delicate nose, and a pair of covered sunglasses.

This look is very similar to Hunter J in Natsu's impression.

She shows up, proving that Natsu's feelings are not wrong.

Dark Type's Weavile isolates Kadabra's Psychic perception.

"Why are you following me?" Natsu asked solemnly with a cold face.

"Shouldn't I ask you this question?" The woman lightly brushed the hair on her shoulders, corner of the mouth raise, "What are you doing here?"

Natsu frowned slowly.

"What? The guild is so wide now?"

The silver-haired woman chuckled and raised her palm to reveal a Poké Ball in her hand.

No more words.

But the meaning is self-evident. If Natsu doesn't explain it clearly today, it must have been done.

Glancing at Weavile standing beside the woman, his sharp claws slowly combed the hair on his head.

Should have (elite) strength.

Although not quite sure, it is estimated that the worst is (elite).

Natsu didn't put away Beedrill, but the other party still looked unscrupulous, showing confidence in his own strength.

Took a deep breath silently, showing a compromise.

Take out the Hunter's Guild hunter's ID and the mission to capture Abomasnow from his arms.

Seeing these things, the woman's raised arm slowly fell.

The smile faded slowly.

"Abomasnow is more at the foot of the mountain."

Natsu lowered his eyes, thinking about a few questions quickly in his mind.

The first one, and his best choice, just leave quietly and wait for the right opportunity to approach, but the problem is that his one-time identity guarantee has been used up, and if he is found again next time , then it can't be explained completely, and it must be done.

The second is to take advantage of the opponent who only put a Weavile outside, and he has Beedrill, Kadabra, Togetic hiding in a large trench coat, and Honedge hiding in the shadow, There is a certain chance of killing her before the opponent summons a second Pokémon, but the risk is high.

The third is to directly let Kadabra use Teleport to take him to the outside of the Snowpoint Temple.

However, this third option is also troublesome. His abrupt action will definitely attract the attention of Hunter's Guild. Next time he sends Miu over, he will definitely face the situation of waiting for the rabbit.

As long as he dares to send, the other party dares to wait.

He didn't have much time to think.

Natsu still prefers first.

Even if it will be troublesome to be discovered next time, at least he has to wait until next time. He still has a chance to try, although the probability is not high.

There is a large open area around the gate of Snowpoint Temple. Once he approaches, he will undoubtedly be attacked.

Soon.

After a while of active thinking, he made the most "correct" decision.

Go!

But you can't let your guard down on this silver-haired woman.

Sneak attack from behind after letting the enemy down, this method Natsu has seen many times.

Keep enough distance and vigilance, and slowly leave the area.

"Wait a minute!"

But when Natsu was halfway there, the silver-haired woman spoke again.

Natsu frowned, glancing at Beedrill and Kadabra to get ready.

Look at each other silently to see what she wants to do.

"You, just joined the club?" the woman asked.

Natsu nods indistinctly.

"First mission?"

Natsu or nod.

Confirming this, the woman smiled again, "Very well, you are my 'Tyrunt' Joanna's subordinate from today."

Natsu: "???"

What is this operation?

All of a sudden he can't fix him.

Seeing Natsu was stunned, Joanna was not surprised, just said:

"Don't worry, I am a Level 8 hunter in the guild, under the command of 'Mr. A', with Self-recruitment of subordinates."

After a short pause, she continued: "Being my subordinate you can directly be promoted to Level 4 hunter, I know you can do it quickly, but it saves a lot of trouble, isn't it? ?"

Natsu came back to his senses, solemnly asked: "Why?"

Joanna brushed her hair and chuckled, "Why? Because I feel you His strength is good, his vigilance is also high, and you has the conditions to become an outstanding Pokémon hunter."

Seeing Natsu's still disbelieving expression, Joanna shook her head.

"Well, because I need some good men, you fit the bill."

If that's the case, it's a little more credible.

Natsu's lowered eyes flickered.

Hunter's Guild, as a relatively idle organization, also has a parliamentary group composed of twenty-six people. Such an organization is bound to be accompanied by a problem, factions stand in great numbers.

Even if Team Rocket is highly condensed under Giovanni's management, Team Rocket's top executives still stand in great numbers, the Kanto faction, the Johto faction, the three beasts, the three generals, the three Executives, etc. Wait.

What's more, in an organization like Hunter's Guild, which is run by twenty-six people, even in the highest meeting, six people have the right to vote.

The reason why Hunter's Guild has such a system of recruiting Outer Members for core members is a faction performance.

For example, when Natsu met Anjie before, he said that Snowpoint City was the area that Hunter A was responsible for, while Hunter K was responsible for some areas to the south, such as Sunyshore City.

The nickname in front of her is "Tyrunt", but it doesn't mean that her character is a female Tyrunt. The big reason is that it has something to do with her Pokémon, so "Tyrunt" is easy to associate with Salamence .

In other words, the woman named Joanna in front of her is likely to be the hunter J in the future.

A powerful and ambitious woman.

Recruiting subordinates is not just for recruiting, it is likely to prepare for the impact of Level 9 hunters or even those twenty-six seats.

And he is a "rookie" who has just joined Hunter's Guild, and he has good strength, isn't it a good choice?

Of course, these are all guesses by Natsu, not necessarily prepared, but roughly should be pretty close.

"Why should I become your subordinate? I believe that with my strength and ability, it is only a matter of time before I become a core hunter. And even if I want to become someone's subordinate, the hunters in those seats are not more suitable .

Besides, I like freedom, not restraint."

Although he can use this opportunity to get close to Snowpoint Temple, he can't be too obvious, and he must be maintained well. A cautious and cautious impression in Joanna's eyes.

"You're smart, I know you know what I mean, they can't give you what you want, I can. Like the power to act freely."

tight Stare at Natsu.

"You don't have to regard yourself as my subordinate, but as a partner. When I sit on the top seat, I promise to help you sit on the seat too."

She made no secret of her purpose, and also revealed a meaning.

The secrets and ambitions in the heart are known to Natsu. If Natsu does not agree, then the two can only become enemies.

But Natsu have to say, such an unconcealed behavior really has several points of doing a major event.

"Also, I can tell you a secret." Slowly lowered her voice, said solemnly: "Do you know why the guild has invested so much power in the Snowpoint Temple this time? Because the guild executives, immediately There will be big changes, and then I don't know how many people will still be able to keep their seats.

So, do you dare to choose one?"

The senior management of Hunter's Guild is about to change. sky?

No wonder Joanna couldn't help herself.

And, listening to her, Hunter's Guild's action against the Snowpoint Temple this time was also because of a premonition that the changing sky was about to happen.

"I know that you have a special purpose for approaching the Snowpoint Temple, and even joining the guild may be just to cover up that purpose. I don't care, everyone in the guild is in danger now, but it is also a problem for me. Opportunity."

Natsu's heart sank, is his abrupt behavior still easy to cause suspicion?

But he raised his brows and asked: "Don't you think, are you talking too much at once? A stranger to me."

It's okay to say a word or two, But having said all that, and even including some of the secrets inside Hunter's Guild, it's too easy to overthink it, especially for Natsu, a stranger he's meeting for the first time.

Just because of the (elite) Beedrill he showed?

Not so.

An (elite) Pokémon isn't enough to get that kind of attention.

Joanna gave him a meaningful look, "Because you're bold enough."

"en?"

Natsu was taken aback.

But he saw Joanna throwing out the Poké Ball. In the red light, a ferocious and terrifying aura assaults the senses.

"roar!!"

The huge blue body, two Contest's signature scarlet wings, sharp eyes, and three wings on each side of the head that resemble the front wings of an airplane Small delta wing.

Salamence!

After Joanna's Salamence came out, a loud dragon roar resounded through the mountains and forests.

Natsu's heart trembled slightly, looking at the Quasi-Legendary Pokémon that had evolved to its final form in front of him. It was also the first Quasi-Legendary Pokémon he had seen so far that had completed its final evolution.

Then the identity of Joanna in front of her is really ready to be revealed.

Hunter J! In future

And judging from the Salamence's imposing manner, it should at least have the strength of a Gym Leader.

The most important thing is that once Quasi-Legendary Pokémon reaches its final evolution, its power will usher in a period of rapid soaring.

Natsu afraid this is also the source of confidence that Joanna has targeted those twenty-six seats, even the highest seats.

After all, Hunter's Guild is not an organization that depends entirely on strength.

She is a very ambitious woman.

This is Natsu's assessment of her at the moment.

Joanna has been paying attention to the changes in Natsu's expression. Seeing that he was only surprised when he saw Salamence's appearance, but did not show the fear that a normal person should have, she became more confident.

"Don't you want to know the reason? Then I'll tell you."

While she said, she stroked Salamence's neck gently, feeling the hard scales on it, slowing down. Slowly said:

"First, you know the guild's arrangement for the Snowpoint Temple, but you dare to approach here, and carefully choose to join the guild members first, so that you have a suitable excuse to approach Snowpoint Mountain. If you dare to do this, you are either crazy, or you have the confidence and confidence to protect yourself. I believe in the latter."

Hold up her second finger.

"Second, if I didn't feel wrong just now, did you think about killing me? Don't deny it, my Weavile doesn't talk about other abilities, but it feels the most sensitive to these things."

Without waiting for Natsu to say anything, she raised a third finger.

"Third, when you see my Salamence suddenly appear, you are only surprised, but not afraid. This is not what a normal hunter should behave unless you have the confidence to deal with it."

Three fingers folded, fists clenched, and a smile made the last point.

"Finally, how are you sure we're meeting for the first time?"

Listening to her slightly joking words, Natsu suddenly reacted.

"You were watching me in the past few days?"

Natsu thought of the faintly discernible feeling of being stared at for the past five days, thinking it was from Hunter's Guild A certain Ghost Type Pokémon, which he also tried to find.

But now it seems that the gaze is from heaven.

Glancing across Salamence.

Natsu didn't let Pidegeotto watch over Sky for fear of attracting more attention.

Salamence is strong enough to evade Kadabra's perception, if desired.

"It's a bit too much to say it's surveillance. I just found a more interesting person at first. It turns out that you are more interesting than I thought." Joanna shrugged.

Natsu wasn't surprised by what she did when she said that from start to finish.

But her actions and behaviors also served as a warning to Natsu.

Don't take everyone as a fool, some things can't be taken for granted subjectively.

Having the trump card of Snorlax also affected some of his actions and judgments.

This is a dangerous and unconscious change.

It may be fine in normal times, but if he does get into trouble, it might really get him into big trouble.

"I'm done, make your choice, be my ministry. No, cooperate? Or do you want to do one?"

"roar!!"

Salamence let out a coy roar.

Beedrill and Kadabra around Natsu felt the pressure, and concentrated one's mind maintained the highest vigilance.

Seeing this posture, Natsu showed a helpless expression.

"You, simply don't have a chance for me to choose, okay?"

Joanna smiled.

She strode forward, without Weavile and Salamence, and stopped in the middle.

She is showing sincerity.

Natsu thought for a while, then motioned for Beedrill and Kadabra to stay still and step forward.

"Now, can you tell me what your name is?"

said, extend the hand.

"Yanxia, 'Stinger'."

Immediately, they held hands with Joanna and initially reached a cooperative relationship.
