"Oh? Did you choose Honedge?"
In the VIP room, the old man heard Phoebe's story, and his eyes showed a trace of surprise and surprise.
Phoebe doesn't know about Honedge, that's because it rarely interacts with other Pokémon and Phoebe, so they don't know about Honedge.
But he is different.
He had been with a Ghost-Type Pokémon the entire time, and he had noticed it, too.
Although he don't know why Honedge did that, he still have a certain understanding of Honedge's strength and ability.
This Honedge is also special and needs to absorb the life energy of others, otherwise he won't let it follow Phoebe.
The reason for this is also because of some of its special experiences.
In the eyes of the old man, among the Ghost Type Pokémon who follow Phoebe, Honedge's strength and innate talent are unique.
If it wasn't for some reason it was too cautious, maybe the old man wouldn't have sent it out, but Phoebe would have taken it.
Because it's really unique.
However, it is precisely because of its character that if it cannot be used or guided correctly, it may not only become a help, but a burden in the future.
The old man believed that he could do it, but Phoebe was too simple and had no experience, so she couldn't do it, so she didn't let her accept Honedge.
"Yeah, grandfather is a good man. I heard that little Honedge is relatively withdrawn, so I hope to help him." Phoebe nodded and continued: "grandfather, you are right. , the black market is not all bad people, there are some good people."
Listening to Phoebe's words, the old man seemed to be able to imagine how embarrassing Natsu would be when faced with Honedge's special character.
The old man smiled, but lightly patted Phoebe's head.
Looking past her.
looked towards the shadow behind her.
A Gengar emerged quietly from her shadow, moved towards the old man nod.
And with a glimmer of light in his eyes, he told the old man what happened just now and its perception and judgment.
After that, the old man was even more surprised.
exclaimed: "It seems that Honedge is indeed with a pretty amazing Trainer."
"Yes yes yes."
Phoebe agrees.
It's just that she didn't understand the deeper meaning of the old man.
...
The other side.
If Honedge knew about the old man, he would definitely give him two big mouths backhand, if he dared.
At this moment, it was curled up in the corner, looking desperately at Natsu walking towards it, with Kadabra next to it, watching it "harboring malicious intentions".
"You said that there was a Pokémon in that girl's shadow just now, and it was much scarier than them?" Natsu asked as he walked.
When Phoebe just came in, Kadabra showed a different vigilance than Normal.
He thought it was for the Ghost Type Pokémon, but it seemed to be because of the one hidden in Phoebe's shadow.
"Yongji." Kadabra solemnly.
It didn't find the Pokémon, and didn't know what Pokémon it was, but instinctively felt a strong threat.
The kind of threat that might not even be able to run away.
Kadabra's perception of Sixth Sense has become clearer since he learned the "Future Sight" move from Jirachi.
It can even be similar to Absol in a way, predicting the coming of danger.
Of course, that's a lot worse than Absol.
Natsu looked thoughtful.
'Is that the Pokémon that sells the spoon, Phoebe grandfather? '
However, the other party did not show any hostility, it should be just to protect the safety of his granddaughter.
After all, judging from the current situation of Phoebe, it is indeed a bit too naive, except for the appearance, there is absolutely no trace of becoming an Elite Four in the future.
Immediately he turned his attention to the Honedge in front of him.
He didn't really feel the strength of this Honedge until he touched it just now.
Otherwise, the expression of harmless to humans and animals, the cowardly look, looks like a very difficult to deal with.
'Almost missed this guy, he was too cautious.'
Even Natsu was almost fooled.
If it weren't for a coincidence, he probably wouldn't have found out.
But now
Natsu crouched in front of Honedge, smiling what he thought was a very friendly, kind smile.
But in the eyes of Honedge, it is very similar to what it has experienced, the terrifying Pokémon that has been lingering in its mind like the nightmare Normal.
It was also because of witnessing the horror of that Pokémon that it completely changed Honedge's character and made it so cautious.
Of course, it was precisely because of the contact with the terrifying Pokémon that Honedge no longer absorbed the life energy of others.
Because it's not needed anymore.
"Honedge." Natsu lightly shouted, looking helpless as it still looked scared.
Sit directly on the ground and look at it.
Toss the Poké Ball at the same time, summoning the Beedrill and Togetic.
"Beer."
"Just yep!"
As soon as the two Pokémon came out, they also noticed the presence of Honedge.
Under Kadabra's explanation, the process is roughly understood.
Beedrill is very frank about Natsu taking on the new Pokémon. In his opinion, isn't that a one-off shot?
Togetic's reaction was a little bigger.
The small-eyed thief turned around twice, and flew towards Honedge with a "goodwill" expression on his face.
Honedge's sense of defense weakened a lot when he saw Togetic's cute Pokémon.
Wave Teacher, who has the reputation of "communication flower", made a move, and Natsu also seized the opportunity to try to communicate with Honedge.
However, even with Wave Teachers, Honedge's vigilance is still high.
No way.
Natsu can only use his ultimate.
Suddenly. Bah, let's talk.
"Honedge, I don't know what you've been through that made you so careful, and what to do to gain your trust, but I think it all starts with mutual understanding. "
Natsu then used a very "sincere" tone to briefly describe his encounter, acquaintance with Beedrill, Kadabra, Togetic these Pokémon, and now the process of becoming a fully trusted partner.
This move is indeed useful. Honedge stared blankly at Natsu who was talking about slowly, and his expression of resistance gradually subsided.
'It seems. The process is very smooth, very safe, and not very dangerous.'
"How is it? Can we learn some stories about you?" Natsu After speaking, he asked after taking a sip of water.
Honedge bowed his head and said nothing.
"Just yep." Togetic patted its hilt encouragingly, a look of consolation.
'Don't worry, we are insane, and you have no meat. Unlike the one we have encountered before, it looks very delicious and comes with an Onion Stick. '
Honedge: "???"
Honedge looked shocked.
Natsu's expression also stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Isn't it hard to "break" Honedge's heart without seeing him?
Togetic's words made his previous saliva go to waste.
However, Honedge's next move exceeded his expectations.
The blue satin at the end of the hilt quickly flew towards Natsu's waist.
Just when the other Beedrill and Kadabra thought it wanted to do something to Natsu, they saw that Satin grabbed an empty Poké Ball from Natsu's waist and actively pressed the button on the Poké Ball. .
Accompanied by a red light, it was taken in directly.
The Poké Ball didn't even shake or flash the red light.
Just after the "dong" sound, it returned to calm.
At this time Honedge's heart is actually like this.
'The cutest one here, the opening is full of ** spirit? '
'Understood, if you are not obedient, you will be eaten, right? Even if it is not eaten, it can be melted by fire, frozen, or even stabbed. Although it is impossible to bite itself with human teeth, what if it is? I can't afford to bet on this one in ten thousand probability. '
'The world outside is really too dangerous, and there are people who want to stab Honedge! I really just wanted to be a sword in peace.'
Honedge's heart was fluctuating, of course Natsu and a few Pokémon didn't know it.
Just staring blankly at the Poké Ball on the ground.
Is that ok?
Natsu felt that all his drool was wasted.
"Just yay!" Togetic looked excited.
'I am brave, right?'
Sure enough, as soon as the "socialite" Wave Teacher made a move, there was only no
Although the process was a bit strange, the result was the same.
