...
"How is it? Do you think the opponent is weak?"
Instead of collecting spills of war immediately, Natsu gave the job to Kadabra, looking towards Honedge himself.
After the last move, Pursuit, successfully harvested the opponent, Honedge's sword had returned to the scabbard, and the pestle was lost in thought.
In Natsu's view, Honedge should have a preliminary understanding of his strength through this battle.
Honedge looked at Natsu approaching, and after pondering for a long time, he was silently nodding.
'It's really weak, but I still almost lost, I really am not strong, I need to work harder! '
Natsu, unaware of Honedge's inner workings, just patted its hilt with relief.
He is also well-intentioned.
"Yongji."
Kadabra, who had finished sorting out the spills of war, held a pitch-black stone in his hand.
Natsu's eyes shined, "intermediate rank Dusk Stone."
It was an unexpected gain.
"It's time to go."
The purpose of this trip to the black market has been achieved, and the sky has completely dimmed.
I found a nice looking hotel in Rustboro City and asked for a room with the best view.
Natsu doesn't release all the Pokémon until Kadabra has finished checking.
Beedrill , Kadabra , Togetic and the newly joined Honedge .
There is also a Dragon Type Pokémon of unknown kind in the Pokémon egg stage, and four "tool-type" Pokémon with different jobs: Sharpedo, Shuckle, Ditto, and Pidegeotto.
Unconsciously, Natsu's Pokémon team has also grown a lot.
And for the addition of Honedge, all Pokémon expressed joy.
It's just that Honedge, who has always been relatively isolated, had never seen such a battle, and was stunned in place.
But that's okay.
As the third "eldest sister" Togetic, she perfectly assumed the bridge of communication.
The ability of "society" is displayed vividly and thoroughly.
Beedrill learned from Natsu's mouth about Honedge's proficiency in the "Sword Dance" move, but he didn't have the temper of an "old big brother" at all, and asked Honedge about the use of the "Sword Dance" move.
Kadabra saw Honedge easily beat another Kadabra, and even though it thought the Kadabra wasn't as strong, it felt the pressure.
Invited to fight Honedge many times, but failed.
Needless to say, Togetic has a very good relationship with everyone, and took Honedge to meet new friends.
"Just yep." Togetic pointed at Shuckle, who stared blankly.
'This is the little turtle, it can mash Berry into a delicious juice. '
Saying that, he brought a cup and covered it up for Honedge.
For Togetic's similar "robbery" behavior, Shuckle no longer resisted, but silently gave Honedge a look and let him understand.
"It's just right."
Togetic pointed to the transparent Berry Juice in the cup with a complacent look.
Honedge was expressionless, but his only eye showed admiration.
'Good, very powerful.'
Immediately afterwards, Togetic led Honedge to Sharpedo, who was soaking in the hotel's large bathtub, squinting comfortably, enjoying the long-awaited water.
"Just Ke Yi."
'This is a big tooth, don't look at it fierce, in fact it is just fierce. '
Hearing Togetic say this to himself, Sharpedo couldn't bear it, opened his mouth to show his sharp teeth, and wrote "I'm fierce" on his face.
Honedge shrank back when he saw his expression, but Togetic was holding on to the blue satin and couldn't retreat.
"Just right."
'Don't be afraid.'
While talking, he patted Sharpedo's back, but he forgot that Sharpedo's skin was rough, but it hurt a little when stabbed.
Put it to your mouth and blow.
'However, the skin of Big Teeth is very rough, so be careful when you touch it, but you should be fine, you can try it. '
Honedge looked at Sharpedo's "fierce" appearance and was a little reluctant.
But Togetic grabbed its silk and pulled the blade out.
clang!
'Try it, don't be afraid, it's not very painful.'
In Sharpedo's "fierce" gaze, the blade made intimate contact with Sharpedo's hard skin.
ka!
The sharp blade left a shallow white mark directly on Sharpedo's back, and some small bumps were directly cut off by the blade.
At the same time, both Sharpedo and Honedge showed their shock.
'What a sharp sword! '
'Nice tenacious skin!'
Sharpedo stared blankly at Honedge, his mind racing, filled with deep worry.
'It's over, it's really about to boil, and now even the sword is ready. '
Honedge sighed.
'really strong!'
The two Pokémon looked at each other, and suddenly both saw fear, caution and fear in each other's eyes.
For a time, a strange feeling arose in the hearts of the two Pokémons at the same time.
'This is. confidant! '
Sharpedo burst into tears.
It seems that in the future it won't have to bear so much by one person at last
"Just Ke Ya?"
'What's the plan?'
Togetic watched Honedge and Sharpedo frown, not knowing what they were thinking, so he grabbed Honedge's blue satin and dragged it away.
The tiny body dragged Hondge away from Sharpedo's sight.
"Roar."
Sharpedo roared in dissatisfaction, twisting and struggle trying to get up, a full pool of water splashed a lot because of his actions.
Togetic glanced back at it, "Just yep!."
'Don't waste water!'
Sharpedo bowed to Togetic's "promiscuous power" and responded in a low voice.
'Oh oh.'
Of Natsu's entire team, Sharpedo was the most sane.
The strongest Beedrill speaks well, Kadabra is a training freak, only this Togetic, troublemaker, courtesan, Natsu's treasure
cannot afford to offend cannot afford to offend.
Gives Hondge one last self-sufficient look, obediently and honestly continuing to enjoy the long-lost bath.
"Just yep." Togetic took Honedge to meet new people again.
'This is a small soft, it can be Transform. '
Ditto didn't speak, but he cooperated very well, his body squirmed and transformed into the appearance of Honedge.
Honedge's eyes widened in disbelief.
'Okay, amazing!'
Togetic moved towards its eyebrows raised.
Awesome, right?
I didn't know that it was Togetic that I thought it could Transform.
Honedge nods again and again.
Finally, they came to Pidegeotto, who was standing on the TV, silently combing his hair.
"Just yep."
'This is a chick, it's brave! I suggest you don't look it in the eyes. '
The more it said that, the more Honedge couldn't help moving towards Piidegeotto's eyes.
Then.
Honedge was stabbed by Pidegeotto's sharp eyes like a normal sword.
"Just like that."
'If you say it, you won't listen. '
Honedge turned away, no longer looking at Pidgeotto.
Following Togetic and getting to know the rest of the Pokémon in Natsu's team was quite shocking.
"Just can?"
'Everyone is very difficult to deal with, right? '
Honedge nods emotionally.
'The greatness belongs to others, but I'm really mediocre'
