The exploration in the mountain area continued.
Tetsuya had already become the backbone of this team. Aside from the og leader, the other five people would come from time to time to get closer to Tetsuya.
This made the og leader feel very uncomfortable…
Tetsuya saw all of this but never pointed it out. This subtle relationship might be something he could make use of.
---◓---
On this day, they finally encountered two young Rhyhorn basking in the sunlight.
Since there were only two, while the team needed five Rhyhorn, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Tetsuya was also happy to watch the show.
'So there are only two… who should get them first?'
Everyone was thinking this in their hearts. If they did not seize the opportunity first, there was no guarantee more Rhyhorn would appear later. Even if they did, those who had already obtained one might not give their full effort to help others catch more.
No one was willing to give in, including their og leader. If one Rhyhorn was captured, with more than three months left, it was highly possible for it to evolve into Rhydon. In the wilderness, Rhydon were both too rare and too strong to catch easily.
"How about this, we catch them first, and whoever catches them will hand them to me for safekeeping. Once we have all of them, we will distribute them," The leader of the Cherrygrove City team said.
"Nuh-uh! You also need Rhydon, we can't trust you."
"Yeah!"
"That's right!"
"Mhm~ Can't trust you, can't trust you!"
After one person said this, the others followed in agreement.
"O-oh… Then what do you suggest? There's no such good luck that five Rhyhorn would appear all at once."
"I suggest that whoever catches them hands them to Tetsuya! He doesn't need Rhyhorn, and he saved us, and along the way he has helped us a lot. I trust him!"
"I trust him too."
"Yeah!"
"That's right!"
"Mhm~ Can trust you, can trust you!"
"Right! Let's do it this way, leave them with Tetsuya-sama~"
'…'
This proposal was unanimously approved by the five people, and naturally their og leader was very unwilling.
"…Tetsuya is just an outsider, how can you trust others so easily!?"
The leader said through gritted teeth.
"Heh~ Don't talk about outsiders, before we came here, who among us knew each other!"
"Exactly!"
"Yeah!"
"That's right!"
"Mhm~ Can trus…? Can know you, can know you!"
"Y-you all..." The leader was on the verge of tears, but he could not go against the majority.
---◓---
Tetsuya remained silent the whole time. With such a good opportunity, he naturally would not refuse.
Next, the six people began their capture.
One Furret and five Sentret surrounded the two Rhyhorn and launched a full-scale assault.
These two Rhyhorn clearly looked like they had just been born, and when suddenly faced with so many opponents, they did not know how to react.
They were quickly beaten until they cried out loudly!
'Hm…?'
Seeing this situation, Tetsuya had already moved far away. These two Rhyhorn were not yet mature, and their parents were certainly nearby, possibly adult Rhyhorn… or even a Rhydon!
Very quickly, the two young Rhyhorn were beaten until they lost consciousness.
They were just about to be caught…
Rumblee… Rumbleee...
Suddenly, there came the sound of the earth shaking and rocks collapsing.
A Rhydon and a Rhyhorn came charging down from the slope above, their robust bodies and roaring momentum soaring!
Tetsuya smiled slightly. It seemed these were the parents of the two young Rhyhorn.
A male Rhydon and a female Rhyhorn were the most common breeding pair in the wild, probably because the… method, of breeding was more convenient…
Before Rhydon and Rhyhorn had even arrived, a series of Rock Blast had already been launched.
The two Sentret closest to them were struck head-on by the rocks, immediately knocked unconscious and sent rolling down the slope.
Fortunately, they were recalled in time by their Trainers.
"Furret, use Dig!"
The leader had intended to use Dig for a sneak attack, but what he did not expect was that the ground tremors caused by Rhydon and Rhyhorn running were already like a small-scale Earthquake.
Furret could not withstand the damage from the collapsing tunnel and quickly climbed back up, only to run into Rhydon and was knocked unconscious by a single Hammer Arm from Rhydon…
Only two Sentret remained, and they were already intimidated and did not dare to step forward.
"Oh oh! Quick, use Butterfree!"
One person reminded, and the six of them simultaneously threw out Butterfree's Poké Balls.
"Sleep Powder!"
Six Butterfree flapped their wings, and blue powder followed the airflow toward Rhydon.
Rhydon turned around and continuously swept the ground with its tail. Dust was instantly stirred up, surrounding Rhydon and Rhyhorn. Sleep Powder could not break through such a duststorm, and Rhyhorn seized the opportunity to use Rock Blast again.
A series of Rock Blast shot out in succession, completely unaffected by the wind speed.
One Butterfree in the front row was blasted down!
Clearly, this move was ineffective against Rhydon and Rhyhorn. The moment Butterfree stopped using Sleep Powder, the two trembling Sentret were flung away again.
"""""Confusion!"""""
Only five Butterfree remained, and the moves they knew were very limited. Although their leader still had a Phanpy, whether in strength, size, or intimidation, it could not compare to these two.
Three Butterfree concentrated Confusion on Rhydon, while two focused on Rhyhorn.
Confusion restricted Rhydon and Rhyhorn, beginning to lift them upward.
Rock-type Pokémon were not light in weight, and combined with their intense resistance; Butterfree's Confusion telekinetic force was very limited, and it was extremely difficult to lift Rhydon and Rhyhorn.
The two Pokémon were lifted less than one meter off the ground before Butterfree could no longer endure, and Confusion dissipated.
Rhydon and Rhyhorn could be said to have landed steadily.
At this moment, the two Pokémon were even more enraged. Rhydon roared and charged toward Butterfree.
Rhyhorn, on the other hand, shifted its attention to its children, licking the two offspring that had fainted.
Rhydon's level was even higher than the Rhyhorn just now, and Rock Blast could be fired in different directions. The Butterfree that had just used Confusion were already in an extremely weakened state. They were all struck down by Rhydon's continuous Rock Blast!
The five Butterfree all became completely listless…
But Rhydon had no intention of stopping its revenge.
Stomp and crush!
Two Butterfree were directly trampled to death by Rhydon.
At this moment, the six people finally panicked and quickly recalled the remaining three. The Trainers of the two Butterfree that had been killed could only feel regret and heartache.
Just as Rhydon was about to stomp the next Butterfree to death, it suddenly saw it turn into several streaks of red light and fly away. It noticed the six humans and realized that they were the ones behind everything!
With its horn forward, it charged toward the six people.
Rhydon…
Killing these people would be effortless!
"Ahhhhh, run!"
At the moment of life and death, how could they dare to hesitate in the slightest? The six people turned and ran, while Rhydon let out a roar that shook the sky and pursued relentlessly.
At this moment, Tetsuya had already circled around to where the Rhyhorn had been just now.
