Chapter 41
: Dividing the spoils is for better pig farming
[WTF, blur it out! Hurry up and blur it out!]
[This guy looks like he just graduated, how can he accept something like this so calmly!]
[This baby Gigantomachia is extraordinary; truly worthy of being the offspring of a Tyrant Pokémon! This scene doesn't even make it hesitate for a moment.]
[That's right, these kinds of social terrorists shouldn't be let off easily! Bloodshed is the right thing to do!]
He would even cover his girlfriend's eyes; he's so gentle.
"Are you two a couple? How did you figure that out?"
Vina skillfully switched the live stream to the side, then asked Xia Ming and the chat simultaneously.
In response to her question, Xia Ming answered frankly:
"Yes, Sofia is my girlfriend."
"Well……"
Sophia, whose eyes were covered so she couldn't see anything inappropriate, blushed. She already knew on the way here that Vina was the livestreamer for the Blueberry Academy's publicity club, and now she was announcing their relationship in front of so many people...
Being shy is normal.
[Well, Nana, you wouldn't understand if you've never been in a relationship.]
"What do you mean I wouldn't understand since I've never been in a relationship? Does that mean I don't want to be in a relationship?!"
[I'm in a real hurry!]
"What's the rush! If Gardevoir and Nekomamushi weren't competing with each other for market share among cute girls, would I not want to be in a relationship?!"
Vina gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
Although her own conditions are not as good as Ziyu's, they are not bad either.
But in Blueberry Academy, any boy who has the means will not choose a girl first. Instead, he would choose a female Ralts or Newleaf, or at the very least, a Pokémon, a Curly-eared Pokémon, or even a female Riolu!
Asking them to buy their girlfriends handbags would be a huge decision, but asking them to buy nice clothes for their Pokémon would be something they'd do without even being asked!
[But these Pokémon seem to be starting to bury their companions. Shouldn't we stop them?]
Just as Vina was getting so angry she was almost losing her mind, a comment on the screen pulled her back to reality.
Looking up, the Pokémon, no longer wreaking havoc on Team True, all emerged from their hiding places.
They wept sadly over their companions' bodies, then gathered them together as they cried, while several bear cubs began digging a large pit to bury them.
In their worldview, being near death is not much different from being dead, since in the wild, only a very few Pokémon have the resources to heal their dying companions.
This is why forest rangers are so beloved once they become well-known among the local Pokémon; they don't even need to be very strong to command powerful Pokémon to help them willingly.
Because they can bring these wild Pokémon the most expensive gift—medicine.
"Wait, there's still hope for them!"
It was Sophia beside him who blurted out those words after Xia Ming returned her to his sight.
The dejected mood of the Pokémon present kept affecting her, causing tears to well up in her eyes uncontrollably.
This led to Xia Ming seeing Sophia inexplicably burst into tears, with tears streaming down her face as if they were free.
But there's no time to worry about that now. If we don't hurry, those Pokémon that can still be saved will be buried!
Everyone sprang into action.
Purple Taro went to take care of her injured King Blue.
Sofia and Vina then began to rescue the Pokémon that could still be saved, one by one.
The Pokémon present were initially wary of the three, but after the awakened Duraludon and the leader Larvitar spoke, they did not stop the three's actions.
"Pikachu~"
A Pikachu with a heart-shaped tail, covered in wounds, came crying to its child.
It was a Pichu, its face still showing extreme panic even as it was on the verge of death. It had been sent flying by a Flame Punch from a Misdreavus while it was still in shock, and it had large areas of burns on its body.
Fortunately, the location where it was critically injured and on the verge of death was far from the place where the battle had just taken place, so it was not affected by the battle again and could still be saved.
Sofia, with tears still on her face, came to their side. She first stroked Pikachu's head comfortingly, and then used the incredible power of the Hyperdimension to save Pikachu.
"Qiu...Qiu?"
Pichu opened its eyes, thinking it would never see its mother again.
It jumped up in surprise, its previously aching body regaining its vitality. It first rushed into its mother's arms, chattering incessantly as if telling its own pain.
Then he looked at Sofia, who had rescued him.
"Qiu~qiu!"
"Pikachu, Pikachu!"
Pikachu pulled a blue orange from behind and handed it to Pichu, who then used its tiny hands to hold the blue orange and give it to Sofia.
The Pokémon around them cried out in surprise after witnessing all this, and then gathered around Sophia with their companions, calling out anxiously.
"Don't rush, take your time, there will be help. Take your time and line up properly."
Sofia casually wiped away her tears, trying to clear her vision, before beginning to rescue the Pokémon one by one.
Unfortunately, not all Pokémon can be saved.
Some Pokémon suffered secondary damage to their dying bodies because they were too close to the battle arena, or even inside it themselves. This means that "near death" can no longer protect them.
They are gone forever.
"Here, let's split the spoils equally."
Meanwhile, Xia Ming kept Sophia's unusual behavior in mind before going to collect the spoils of war.
He carried a spatial backpack in each hand, then came to Ziyu and tossed one of them to her.
He didn't examine the contents closely, knowing that it wouldn't be long before it would return to his hands, perhaps even becoming more voluptuous.
Fighting side by side doesn't mean I won't ambush you later, hehehe!
"Thank you, your baby gilas are very well raised."
After taking the backpack, Ziyu said thank you and then praised the baby Gilas at Xia Ming's feet.
Xia Ming simply nodded in agreement. Although Zi Yu was indeed very beautiful, he wasn't the type to fawn over every woman he saw.
He's already posted enough.
Without exchanging more than a few words, Xia Ming, after distributing the spoils, took Young Giras to the location of the two pseudo-gods.
At that moment, another baby Gilas was taking the berries and ores given to it by Xia Ming and carefully tending to the badly injured Aluminum Steel Dragon.
The ecological regions of the Alumina Steel Dragon and the Young Kiras overlap to some extent, and since they both feed on rocks and soil, they are, in a sense, natural competitors.
However, the natural selection among Pokémon can be set aside at times.
At least for now, Young Gilas wants to get his old rival back on his feet.
"Let me try, how about it?"
Xia Ming took out some medicine and went to the two Pokémon.
