The crowd hunts the hill, and Crimson reaps the benefits.

"We gained nothing today, but he will definitely come again tomorrow, and he might even come earlier."

"We need to hurry and set up every line of defense. If time permits, we can conduct a test."

"We must also prepare the necessary supplies and backup plans for everyone, and strive to achieve victory in one fell swoop."

With Xia Ye's decorations, the vegetable market was bustling with people, and the sounds of clattering bells and rattles filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere.

Time passed quickly.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, the disguised crowd discovered an uninvited guest at the entrance of the market.

Pikachu has visited again.

Sharp-eyed Natsuno noticed that Pikachu's movements were slower than yesterday, and its belly seemed a little flat.

Hmm? Did this guy not find anything at the market yesterday, and can't find any food in the Evergreen Forest either?

Strange, how come there's no food in the forest?

Thinking about it carefully, this guy always takes away a big bag of tree fruit. If he were to eat it all by himself, it would last him two or three days.

Why does this guy come and steal so much food every day? Is he feeding his companions?

While Natsuno was brainstorming, the Pikachu also began to make its move.

He lay down on the ground and sniffed carefully. As his nose twitched, he raised his head and found something!

With all four legs pushing off, it sprinted towards the seafood area, where a large pile of tree fruits in bags was stacked.

Everyone hid in various places, held their breath, and stared intently at Pikachu without blinking.

Pikachu stopped in front of the berry table and cautiously looked around.

Seeing that no one was around, it jumped onto the table and then quickly jumped back down to the ground. It tested the waters three times before finally standing on the table.

When Natsuno saw that the other person was indeed standing on the table, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his brow.

Step one, the super glue table, went smoothly!

The Pikachu turned its head to look around on the table, and then realized that its limbs felt wrong and it had to use more effort to lift them.

The strange feeling of being stuck together by glue startled Pikachu, who began to look around, but when it saw that nothing was happening, it relaxed.

It walked towards the fruit bags, using all four limbs and its tail to carry the fruit bags on its back.

But this time, when Pikachu was carried on his back, his body was pressed down and then lifted back to its usual height.

The second step was to add weight to the fruit bags; successful!

Just then, his ears perked up as he heard rustling sounds coming from all directions of the market.

Pikachu became very alert, jumped off the table, and ran outside at top speed.

But with the added glue and weighted fruit bags, his movements were slower than usual.

Meanwhile, the commotion on the periphery revealed a large group of Grass-type Pokémon.

At this moment, everything is gathering energy and releasing sleep powder towards the central area.

Behind them were several Pidgeys, flapping their wings and using the Wind Rush move to create a gust of wind that blew the sleep powder in.

Pikachu, which was rushing outwards, used Agility to speed up its journey, but it was still hit by Sleep Powder Storm and its pace began to slow down.

From a distance, it looks as if this thing is actively heading towards the sleep powder puff.

Meanwhile, people hiding on the outskirts appeared wearing insulated protective suits and gas masks, throwing out piles of Poké Balls and releasing a large swarm of Diglett.

The three loaves of bread, sandwiched between Pikachu, looked quite imposing and actually frightened Pikachu.

The latter turned and ran back to the aquatic product area, which was exactly where there were no ambushes.

In a second, everyone, including Natsuno, emerged from a hidden spot near the seafood area, wearing insulated hazmat suits and still carrying gas masks.

This large group threw out a huge number of Poké Balls, and this time there were even more Diglett than before, with their heads swarming everywhere you looked.

All the Diglett stacked on top of each other, forming walls of Diglett walls that closed in the blink of an eye, surrounding Pikachu within them.

The practice that lasted all night was very effective; the mole hamsters were able to transform from a Brownian distribution into four mole walls in five seconds.

Step 3, the mole wall, successful!

This sudden change caused Pikachu to stop in its tracks, and the electric sacs on both sides of its cheeks began to flash with electricity, clearly a sign that it was charging up its energy.

"Pikachu~!"

With a shout, lightning surged from all directions around Pikachu—it was Electric Discharge! An AOE Electric-type special move.

However, Ground-type moves are immune to Electric-type moves, and although the Diglett are 10 levels lower than Pikachu, they can easily withstand them by working together.

The intense flash of light caused everyone to close their eyes and turn their heads away, blocking their view.

Three seconds later, the discharge stopped, and Pikachu began to pant, only to find that the Digletts were unharmed.

My eyelids started to feel heavier and heavier, indicating that the high-intensity release of energy and the sleep powder were gradually taking effect.

Pikachu shook its head frantically, trying to clear its head.

With concentrated energy, he used the Shadow Clone Technique, instantly creating more than a dozen clones that scattered and pounced on the moles.

Everyone turned around and saw one of them use Quick Attack repeatedly, stepping on the heads of seven gophers in succession to jump out of the encirclement.

There was no other way; the average height of the gophers is only 0.2 meters, and their numbers are limited. Even if all the gophers from the vendors' homes were mobilized, they could only barely form a wall seven stories high.

But Pikachu's ability to climb walls is also part of the plan.

I haven't replenished my energy since yesterday. I used a high-intensity AOE attack and then used Lightning Flash repeatedly because of the glue and the heavier fruit bag on my back.

After being overwhelmed by the successive attacks, Pikachu finally couldn't hold on any longer and stopped at the entrance of the market, causing the bag of berries to fall to the ground.

Step four, exhaust energy, successful!

But Pikachu wasn't asleep. It shook its head, ran to the box by the door, leaped up, and used Quick Attack again!

call out!

In a flash, Pikachu bumped into a boy in a red hat by the door.

Because of the overwhelming force, the boy ended up rolling around in a ball with Pikachu in his arms.

Natsuno didn't have time to see who it was; he was only worried that Pikachu would run away, so he quickly shouted loudly at the boy.

"Quick, catch him with a Poké Ball! Don't let him get away!"

The boy reacted extremely quickly, and with a flick of his wrist, a Poké Ball appeared in his palm. He then swiftly patted it into his arms.

A flash of red light, and Pikachu was sucked into the Poké Ball. The button on the Poké Ball flashed red, and the entire ball began to sway rhythmically from side to side on the ground.

One tap, two taps, three taps, "beep," all sounds cease, the taming is successful.

Seeing that he had successfully subdued it, Natsuno looked at the other's face, which was crimson.

Red released Pikachu and stuffed a berry into its mouth, waking it from its sleep state.

"Little one, wake up quickly."

Looking up and seeing everyone staring at him, Chi Hong wasn't intimidated and confidently raised his head.

"Guys, on my way here yesterday, I heard a guy say that there's a really powerful Pikachu around the market. He got lost and just found this place."

"I don't know what happened, but it just bumped into my arms, and some people even told me to subdue it. Now that I've subdued it, is it appropriate? Do I need to return it to you?"

Everyone took off their equipment and headed towards Crimson.

Natsuno smiled and said, "Oh, it's Akane. I never expected to see you here."

"It's okay. This guy caused trouble in the market. If you want to take him away, I don't think anyone will object."

The group of people at the market nodded in agreement: "Yes, you can take the child with you, we don't need him."

Seeing everyone nod, Crimson released Pikachu from its Poké Ball.

From now on, I'll call you Ka.

"Pikachu~!"

"Let's have a competition..."

A flash of light, and her bright red hair exploded as Mei Mei was struck by an electric shock.

"The power is strong enough, I like it!"

Chi Hong exhaled a puff of black smoke, revealing his large white teeth.
