my pokemon player.

"Huh~ I finally escaped safely. Let's rest here for a while."

After Ryan confirmed that the Firestorm Monkeys were not chasing him, he stopped running and prepared to rest for a while.

In fact, he and Yueyue Xiong didn't feel tired at all, but the meerkats were a little unable to keep up.

These meerkats were injured to begin with, and after running all the way, they really didn't have the energy to run anymore.

After seeing Ryan stop running forward, the meerkat boys also stopped and lay on the ground breathing heavily.

Ryan got off the bear and took out the medicine to heal their injuries. He also bought some Pokémon food and Pokémon cubes from the panel store to replenish their energy and nutrition.

The meerkats smelled the aroma of food. They raised their heads and stared at the food in Ryan's hand with expectant eyes, and their mouths kept secreting saliva.

As soon as Ryan put down the food, the young meerkat pounced on it and ate the Pokémon food.

They are starving these days. In the past, when they were in human territory, as long as they guarded the fields, Rattata would come over and die.

They can also catch Rattadas in towns when farmland is fallow.

And even if the meerkat boys couldn't catch Rattata, humans would feed them, so they basically never went hungry for a day.

This gives them the illusion that obtaining food is a very simple matter, so they have the confidence to leave the territory.

After leaving the territory, I discovered that it was really difficult to get enough food.

Although there are many Rattadas in the forest, without the attraction of crops, these Rattadas will not fall into the trap and will escape at the slightest disturbance.

The meerkats could only take the initiative and catch food by walking back and forth, but this consumed too much energy and was very inefficient. They only caught a few Rattata, which was not enough to fill their teeth.

You should know that most of the meerkats' bodies are stomach pouches, so they have a very large appetite and need to eat a lot of food every day.

Without enough food to replenish their physical strength, they will not have the strength to walk back and forth. Without walking back and forth, they will not be able to catch food. There will be no food.

They fell directly into a vicious cycle and have been starving for days.

The key is that it's not enough to just starve, they also have to be beaten by monkey monsters!

"Ah woo~"

Thinking of the miserable life these days, the eyes of the young meerkats filled with tears.

They want to return to their territory, and they don't know if the new owner of the territory will accept them.

Probably not. After all, they left very decisively without even looking back. The new owner must be very angry.

Where can they go from now on?

Just when the young meerkats were still worried about the future, they suddenly heard the human who had rescued them say that he wanted to invite them back to their territory.

"Uh-huh?"

"They're asking which territory it is."

Aerial Shot Rotom translated.

"Which other territory could it be? It must be Yinghuo Town. Did you not recognize me?"

Ryan knelt down and said that he thought these meerkats would run away with him because they recognized him, but he was just being sentimental.

As soon as the meerkats heard this, they immediately stared at Ryan's face with excitement.

This human does look familiar. He seems to be the boy in the territory who runs away when he sees them.

Could it be that the human in front of me is the new owner of the territory?

Ryan also saw the doubts on the faces of the meerkats, and then explained:

"You may not remember me, but I am now the lord of Firefly Town."

"Oh yes, you may not know what a lord is. To put it simply, I am the boss of everyone in Yinghuo Town. They all obey me, so I can make the decision and invite you back. How about it? Are you willing to go back with me? ?"

The young meerkats looked at each other, and then focused their attention on the largest young meerkat.

This young meerkat is their new leader and the child of the inspector meerkat.

When it learned about the death of its father, it no longer wanted to stay in the sad place of Yinghuo Town, so it left the territory with the meerkats.

Although the other meerkats were very excited and wanted to go back with Ryan, they still had to obey the leader's orders.

The young meerkat leader naturally saw the desire in the eyes of these young meerkats. He also knew that the young meerkats had suffered a lot following him these days, and they all missed the days in the territory.

Both emotionally and logically, it should nod in agreement, but there is always a thorn in its heart.

It always feels that its father's death is inseparable from the territory. If it were not to protect the territory, its father would not die.

However, this is just its problem, it cannot prevent other meerkats from returning to their territory.

Thinking of this, the young meerkat leader stood up and growled twice at Ryan.

"It said it wants to challenge you. If you win, you will be the new leader of the meerkat boys and you will naturally be able to take them back to their territory."

"Are you sure you want to challenge me? You are still injured."

Ryan asked with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't understand why the meerkats insisted on fighting him.

"Aww!"

The young leader of the mongoose put on a fighting stance and made his attitude clear to Ryan.

"Okay, I accept your challenge! Go, Cocodola!"

Looking at the determined eyes of the young mongoose leader, Ryan nodded and agreed to its challenge and sent out Coco Dora, who was similar in strength to it.

"Cocodora, use the headbutt!"

Kokodola focused her energy on the top of her head, then took a step with her calves and rushed towards the young leader of the mongoose.

The young leader of the mongoose did not dodge, but also bumped into Cocodola.

As the two Pokémon collided, the leader of the mongoose was knocked away and lay on the ground without the ability to fight.

"Kuao Kuo?"

Kokodora looked at the young meerkat leader who fell to the ground with confusion on his face. Did he win now? Isn't the other party trying to make trouble?

It turned to look at Ryan, wanting to ask him what to do now.

Ryan also didn't understand the operation of the Mongoose Commander. Even if it didn't know attribute restraint, it couldn't use the most basic [Bump], even [Bite] would do.

He took Kokodora back, and then walked forward quickly, wanting to help the young meerkat leader treat his injuries. Kokodora's headbutt was done with all his strength, adding to the injury, and Ryan was afraid that it wouldn't be able to bear it.

But before Ryan could get close, the young meerkat leader got up on his own. He first growled at Ryan a few times, then glanced at the other young meerkats with a reluctant look, and then turned and left.

"Why is it leaving? Xiao Luo, please translate."

"It said: If you win, you will be the leader of Meerkats from now on. I hope you can treat them as well as your previous owner."

"Is this the end?"

"Translated, that's all it said."

After listening to Xiao Luo's translation, Ryan still didn't understand why the young meerkat left.

"I remember Uncle White said that the reason why this leader left the territory was because he didn't want to stay in the sad place, and this young mongoose seems to be the child of Inspector Meerkat. Could it be?"

"Hey, are you just leaving? Don't you want to know the real cause of your father's death?"

Ryan shouted at the young meerkat leader.

This sentence successfully made the young meerkat leader stop leaving.

It turned its head suddenly, trotted all the way to Ryan, and looked at Ryan with searching eyes.

Ryan didn't show off, and directly told it about the man in black robe causing the beast tide, and then said to it sincerely:

"Your father died while resisting the tide of beasts. My father also disappeared during the tide of beasts. The tide of beasts was caused by those men in black robes. They are our common enemies."

"They are so powerful that we cannot compete with them on our own. Only when we unite can we have enough power to avenge them."

"Besides, your father and I both fought to protect the territory. Now that they are gone, we must inherit their will and continue to protect the territory. I have already done this, and what about you? You don't just want to escape, right? "

"I believe you are not the kind of coward who only runs away. Come back to the territory with me. Let's take revenge together and protect the territory together!"

After hearing what Ryan said about the cause of the beast tide, the young commander of the mongoose was furious and wanted to tear those black-robed men apart right now.

Then it heard what Ryan said next, and it felt that what Ryan said was very reasonable. It alone could not complete its revenge, and it also wanted to inherit its father's will.

"Ah woo~"

The young commander of the mongoose roared and stretched out a paw towards Ryan.

Ryan was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, stretched out his hand and held the paw of the mongoose commander.

"Welcome home!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young meerkat leader's body emitted a dazzling blue light.

"Is this... about to evolve?"
