Directly smashed it flying out.
Punching King Doll.
Lives up to its reputation!
For a moment.
These Wild Pokémon couldn't even get close to Audino.
"This...."
From when Audino effortlessly carried Natsuhiko and Monferno out just now, Natsuhiko had a faint feeling.
It makes sense too.
This Audino must have been living in this forest for quite some time.
With various tribes helping to gather food, it doesn't need to worry about sustenance, and with its own considerable healing abilities, there's no concern for its health issues either.
It's like growing up in a relatively stable environment.
Usually, when there's nothing to do, it's probably practicing techniques or something.
But this is just too...
Boom boom boom!!
Just saw Audino grabbing a Scolipede's tail and using it directly as a whip on the ground.
Its eyes turned red.
Even with a bit of a joyful smile on its face.
Where was the previous pitiful and weak appearance?
"Why does it feel like the Pokémon I fancy all have something off about them?" Natsuhiko muttered.
"Buyi?"
Eevee looked at Natsuhiko in defiance.
Natsuhiko glared back unceremoniously.
Do you think you're normal?
Would a normal Eevee go and style Togekiss's hair?
Would a normal Eevee care if its Trainer is constipated?
"Buyi..."
Eevee grinned sheepishly and nudged into Natsuhiko's arms, acting cute.
Monferno opened its mouth, but before it could speak, Natsuhiko glanced over at it, and it wisely kept silent.
Would a normal Chimchar use Original Groudon's shell fragments to pick its teeth?
He silently sighed.
Even though he says this, he still wants to keep them.
It's not easy to find an all-rounder Pokémon that can both heal and fight.
Audino, although it showed its violent side, temporarily intimidated those Wild Pokémon.
But that was just for the moment.
As two Elite Candidate Level Pokémon joined the battle, along with a crowd of Pokémon assisting from the side, Audino soon found itself at a disadvantage.
"Buduo..."
Audino lay on its back on the ground, gazing at the white expanse above, its eyes once again returning to a pure blue.
It was too tired.
Sometimes it really felt like healing some Pokémon wasn't worth the effort.
Some Pokémon just weren't worth its healing.
This group that came looking for it today.
It didn't want to help them heal anymore.
Maybe ending it this way wasn't a bad choice.
It's just a pity.
A pity it didn't have time to savor the delicious food it had just eaten.
"Chas!!"
The Elite Candidate Level Drapion leader stepped towards the fallen Audino.
The pincers in its hand were closing and releasing, making a crisp "bang bang" sound.
Audino didn't resist, allowing it to approach.
But just at that moment.
Buzz——
A golden electric arc streaked by, accompanied by a rapid pace and fierce assault, Drapion was caught off guard and was pushed back repeatedly by a "Cross Cut".
Space distorted.
Several figures appeared in front of Audino.
Soon, a face full of smiles, eyes gentle and concerned appeared in Audino's line of sight.
"Bu...duo?"
Weren't they chased away just now?
Natsuhiko's gentle voice was heard: "I didn't get a chance to introduce myself just now. Hello, my name is Natsuhiko."
Natsuhiko....
Looking at that kind face and hearing that comforting voice, Audino's eyes welled up again.
Biting its lip, unable to express its grievance.
Natsuhiko squatted down and gently patted its head.
"Don't cry, I'll stand up for you."
"Bu...duo..."
The Audino, which had been holding back all this time, finally couldn't contain itself.
Tears flowed uncontrollably like broken pearls.
It's like some people who, when they feel wronged inside, don't speak and suppress it, gradually letting it go, but if someone comes to comfort them at that time, it's a different story.
That was exactly Audino's situation now.
