After finishing off the Girafarig and Xatu, Tetsuya rested on the spot for a while. He did not know what Pokémon he would still have to deal with ahead.
Naturally, the happiest one right now was Haunter. After absorbing so much vitality, it was simply bursting with energy!
The others all ate to replenish their energy.
Just after finishing eating, Tetsuya heard waves of… delicate… moaning♥?
Hearing it made one's whole body go weak, hearts stir with desire, and even made it difficult to move forward!
Tetsuya felt that something was very wrong…
He packed up his belongings and headed toward the direction the sound was coming from.
He had to hurry!
Maybe there would even be a good show to watch... cough!
Of course, Tetsuya only thought he could get something out of it.
"Let's hurry. Something must be happening ahead," Tetsuya said as he sped up his pace, speaking to the Pokémon behind him.
---◓---
It felt like they had already reached the deepest part of the mountain hollow. A row of trees blocked the view, and even the gaps between the trees were covered with vines.
It was impossible to see what was happening inside, but one thing was certain, the panting sounds were coming from within, and they were even clearer now!
However, just as Tetsuya wanted to enter, three Hypno blocked his way. This place really seemed to be a gathering zone for Psychic-type Pokémon.
Starting from the Grass/Psychic-type Exeggutor, then the Normal/Psychic-type Girafarig, the Flying/Psychic-type Xatu, and now the pure Psychic-type Hypno…
A battle was inevitable!
Hypno excelled at moves like Hypnosis and Nightmare. At this moment, Tetsuya thought of Golett's Magic Coat. It was precisely the nemesis of these kinds of moves. Perhaps he could trick them a little.
"Golett, charge out. When they use Hypnosis, activate Magic Coat."
Golett nodded, feeling quite proud. Tetsuya was using it more and more often now, and it was always assigned important vanguard roles.
Golett leaped out!
Waving Shadow Punch, it charged toward the Hypno.
Upon suddenly discovering the intruder, the Hypno showed no panic at all. Remaining completely still, they swung the pendulums in their hands as waves of penetrating hypnotic energy spread outward.
The hypnotic waves of Hypno were unlike the ordinary ones used by common Pokémon. They carried a mysterious "magic" that caused opponents to involuntarily stare at them, greatly increasing the success rate of hypnosis.
However, Golett knew Magic Coat. A layer of light red energy shrouded Golett like a mirror. After the hypnotic light waves struck Golett, they were reflected back.
This highly "magical" Hypnosis instead ended up benefiting others…
At this moment, the Hypno felt their eyelids growing heavy, becoming drowsy and sleepy.
The Hypno in the middle reacted quickly. It raised its hand and slapped itself across the face. Its face instantly swelled up like a steamed bread, but its consciousness recovered. However, the companions on both sides were already about to fall asleep.
Naturally, this was no time to hold back.
Smack! Smack!
Two Wake-Up Slap attacks landed on the faces of the Hypno on both sides. Only after waking up did the Hypno realize they had fallen into Golett's trap.
Hypno belonged to the type of Pokémon that attacked while standing in place. Without enough strength, very few people would use such a Pokémon. In short, they simply did not suit Tetsuya at all.
The three Hypno simultaneously used Confusion, forming a psychic field. Instantly, Golett found it difficult to advance even a single step. The psychic power of the three Hypno truly was formidable.
Golett was lifted high into the air by Confusion and was about to be smashed down!
"Haunter!"
Tetsuya called out, and powerful psychic force supported Golett. Even when facing the Confusion of three Hypno, it was not inferior in the slightest.
"Houndoom, Crunch. Beedrill, [Fatal Pursuit]."
Against three Pokémon that did not even move, this kind of battle was simply too easy.
Houndoom shot out with a swoosh. The Confusion field had absolutely no effect on the Dark-type Houndoom. Of course, it also needed to destroy that field before Beedrill could do its role.
Facing the sudden assault from Houndoom, the Hypno immediately became flustered. Confusion was completely ineffective against it, so they could only abandon Confusion and raise their palms in preparation to use Wake-Up Slap. Fighting-type moves truly had outstanding effectiveness against Houndoom.
However, at the instant the Confusion was withdrawn, both Beedrill and Golett moved simultaneously.
[Fatal Pursuit]!
Beedrill vibrated its wings, spinning at high speed as it flew, its twin stingers thrust forward with Dark-type energy swirling around them as it shot toward the Hypno.
Without the obstruction of Confusion, the previously frustrated Golett was even more energized. It ran toward the Hypno with clenched fists, Shadow Punch ready to strike.
Houndoom attacked first. A Hypno struck down with its palm, but how could such an attack hit the agile Houndoom? With a leap, Houndoom had already jumped behind the Hypno, opening its massive jaws and biting into the back of the Hypno's neck.
Instantly, the Hypno's vision blurred, and Houndoom's toxin seeped into its body. Without making any sound, it collapsed.
All of Hypno's energy was concentrated in its brain, causing the sensory organs of its body to react very slowly. This was also a situation common among most Psychic-type Pokémon. Their brains were overly developed, so the rest of their bodies naturally became somewhat clumsy.
The most famous example was Slowbro, always appearing slow to react. Alakazam was also skin and bones, with a withered appearance. Its brain was extremely developed, while its muscles seemed almost atrophied.
Beedrill was incredibly fast and full of momentum. The Hypno still wanted to use Confusion to control it, but it couldn't capture Beedrill at all. In the blink of an eye, it was sent flying by Beedrill's strike, crashing into the tree behind it before collapsing.
Golett was still restrained by the final Hypno, but this time it did not need help. It fiercely swung its Shadow Punch twice and broke free!
Now, Golett, which excelled at using punching moves, already carried the demeanor of a martial arts expert. After approaching the Hypno, it leaped up and smashed down with a heavy punch, directly knocking the Hypno unconscious.
The three Hypno were handed over to Haunter.
Haunter was also tirelessly working today. The pure Psychic-type Hypno were even more beneficial for enhancing psychic power. After being drained dry by Haunter, they became nothing more than dried bodies. Haunter swayed and spun its body as it digested the vitality, its expression completely immersed in enjoyment~♥.
Now what stood before him was a row of trees, obscured by vines so that the inside could not be seen clearly.
The unknown was what made people fearful. Tetsuya needed to destroy these vines first!
The moaning sounds from inside became even more intense, as though reaching a climax!
"Beedrill, use [Twin Fury] and destroy those vines."
After Tetsuya spoke, Beedrill flew out. Under the high-frequency piercing strikes of its twin stingers, the vines all fell apart in response.
Behind the trees was a raised rocky platform. Above the platform, tree trunks had been slanted together to form a simple wooden hut. It was completely sufficient for sheltering from wind and rain.
"…"
Spread across the platform seemed to be Mareep wool. The intense scene on top truly opened one's eyes!
