"Just Ke Ya!"
Togepi stuck his head out in surprise and saw Natsu's slightly heavy face.
As if noticing Togepi's reaction, Natsu smiled and stroked his head.
At this time, Togepi didn't refuse, just stared blankly at the face he raised again.
Small it, I don't know how to describe my heart at this moment.
He just silently went into Natsu's arms and arched.
It's warm.
This is the warmth and reassurance that it has never felt since it was born.
At this moment, it was a little intoxicated.
Natsu, however, was not as relaxed as Togepi had seen him at the moment.
The Aerodactyl outside didn't find Natsu and Little Monk hiding in the Cave, but Natsu and Beedrill did it, even if they didn't want to find it, it was difficult.
At this moment, Aerodactyl is where Lock On Cave is.
Little Monk in the cave looks desperate.
He didn't stop Natsu, and he couldn't stop Natsu.
As a result, Aerodactyl found them now, and they had nowhere to go.
But Natsu is obviously not such an impulsive person. Since he chose to do this, he naturally has his own ideas.
"Togepi, can You use Secret Power again?" Natsu said to Togepi, who was curled up in his arms and refused to let go.
"Just yah!"
Togepi's little head connected.
Natsu almost forgot that he had such a hand.
Reluctantly, he jumped from his arms to the ground, and his little hands touched the wall of Cave all around.
It's looking for the closest channel from here.
On the other side, Aerodactyl is already digging a hole.
Togepi didn't disappoint Natsu, though, and quickly found his way.
I saw its little hand patted on the rock wall lightly, Secret Power surged, and a brand new passage appeared in front of them.
"Just yay!"
Togepi waved at Natsu.
"Let's go."
"Wait a minute! Little Monk's feet are numb and he can't walk." Little Monk's voice was about to cry.
Natsu had to help him up.
After all, in a strict sense, it was this Little Monk who saved his life just now.
But the Aerodactyl outside seemed to have noticed what was going on inside, biting his mouth, and the fiery breath overflowing from his teeth.
Flamethrower!
Natsu's face changed suddenly, "Come on!"
Togepi jumped straight into the passage when he heard his words, followed by Natsu, almost dragging Little Monk, and also drilled his head. Into the passage, Beedrill follow closely from behind.
But the moment they stepped into the passage, a scorching flame of scarlet gold suddenly Spit Up from Aerodactyl's mouth, and the Rock they touched was instantly melted and evaporated by the high temperature.
A flame like this formidable power doesn't need to be approached, just high temperature can burn people to death.
Beedrill saw this scene with determination flashing in his eyes.
He turned around resolutely.
I want to use my body to resist the erosion of the flames, giving Natsu a chance to escape.
Natsu, who could see Beedrill's intentions, couldn't possibly let it do so.
Take it back directly with the Poké Ball.
Then glared at Little Monk fiercely.
Little Monk's mouth trembled, and he continued, "Little Monk knows."
Immediately, he saw him with a bitter face, and threw out the biggest string hanging around his neck. Buddha beads.
The fiery flame of Aerodactyl was miraculously resisted after touching the beads.
There is a strange halo on the beads, flickering on and off.
It seems to have birdsong circling over it.
"It won't last long, go quickly."
The two staggered and ran to the other end of the passage.
Togepi was already standing at the exit, moved towards them calling anxiously.
Boom—
Fiercely fell to the ground with the last pounce and jumped out of the tunnel.
Seeing this, Togepi patted the rock wall again, instantly changing the direction of the passage halfway.
Breakthrough The flame intercepted by the beads was instantly blocked by the thick rock formation.
But it can still be seen that the original gray and black rock wall changed color, the red light is ready to come out, and the extremely high temperature smoke is also coming out of the rock wall, Togepi's small hand holding the rock wall is directly burned On, blisters appeared on his hands.
The little fellow blew his breath in pain, tears welling in his eyes, and he was about to fall.
However.
roar!
A long roar of Rage passed through the rock formation and reached their ears.
Natsu picked up Togepi regardless of the pain, and said without looking back, "Get out of here."
What he owed Little Monk was over.
Little Monk had no choice but to stand up on his knees, staggeringly moved towards the direction where Xia left, chasing after him.
After running a section of the road.
Appears to be out of Aerodactyl's radiation range.
Natsu finally slowed down, leaning against the rock wall, panting heavily, while throwing the Poké Ball to summon the Beedrill.
"Beer!!"
Beedrill, who had just come out of the Poké Ball, looked a little angry, but saw that Natsu was still alive and quietly relaxed.
"Cha Ke Yi"
Togepi looked at his hand, which was still a little red at the moment, with a distressed face, and kept blowing with his small mouth.
Seeing this scene, Natsu smiled.
Take out a Potion spray and spray lightly on Togepi's hand.
The cool and comfortable feeling made Togepi narrow his eyes in comfort and moan in his mouth.
Turning his head to look at Beedrill, he said solemnly: "Beedrill, don't make decisions on your own next time. Since I choose to do this, of course I have the confidence to not do stupid things."
"Beer."
Beedrill tilted his head, looking a little unconvinced, but still obediently nodding.
It just does what it thinks is right.
Then Natsu's voice became much gentler, and he said slowly: "However, the way you stand up is quite handsome."
"Beer!"
That's nature!
One Pokémon looked at each other and laughed.
A lot of things, all in a word.
"Wait. Wait for the little monk."
At this time, Little Monk staggered to follow, his face was yellow and thin, and he looked haggard, and he was really worried that he would suddenly I fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
huhhuhhu ——
Little Monk, who was sitting beside Natsu, gasped heavily, but his eyes were fixed on Natsu and his hands were clenching his sleeves.
He just didn't catch his breath, but he couldn't say what he wanted to say. He could only express his dissatisfaction with the ups and downs of his chest.
next to it.
"Just yep!"
Togepi saw that Little Monk was actually clutching Natsu's sleeve, jumped up, and gave Little Monk's hand directly with a small split. Open.
Standing between Natsu and Little Monk, hunched over his waist, looking at him angrily.
"Just yay!"
In this regard, Little Monk is really having unspeakable bitter suffering and can only continue to gasp.
It's been a long time.
He recovered a little breath, opened the mouth with difficulty and said: "Water! Water"
A bottle of water appeared in front of him.
Little Monk is also not a taboo, and directly finished drinking it "tons and tons".
Seeing this embarrassed appearance, I must have been unable to drink water for a while.
I don't know how long I've been trapped in this underground space.
After drinking the water, Little Monk finally caught his breath and said solemnly: "Little Monk Anci, Monk of Ecruteak City Bell Tower, Johto Region."
Said, and said Did a Buddhist ceremony.
Natsu just nodded lightly, he knew about Anci's identity before.
He is a monk of wine and meat.
"I wonder how the little Master knew that the little monk had a way to stop the Aerodactyl attack?" Anci raised his biggest doubt.
Natsu turned his head away and looked towards him expressionlessly, pointing to his tattered clothes.
A large part of them are holes left by the flames, which are very conspicuous.
Following his fingers, he looked at his clothes.
Anci looked surprised.
"How did you get here?" Natsu asked slowly.
He's curious as to how Little Monk Anci got here.
It stands to reason that the entrance to the underground cave should have been exposed after the ruins collapsed.
Hearing this, Anci was helpless, and with a hint of embarrassment, she tugged at her clothes calmly.
"You may not believe it, but the monk got lost in Saffron City. He was walking and walking, and he came here without knowing what was going on."
Natsu narrowed his eyes. Sitting up slowly, solemnly asked: "You mean, you came from Saffron City?"
