This is so perverted?!

Chapter 69 This is so perverted?!

Ross Mountain.

Located at the northern end of Route 7, it is one of the largest mines in the United States region, and also one of Kiku's properties.

Due to years of excavation, a complex labyrinth of caves and trails has been formed inside Ross Mountain.

but.

Perhaps with this in mind, there are road signs inside Ross Mountain to prevent passersby from getting lost and wandering into dangerous areas such as abandoned mines.

"We're almost there!"

After eating, Xia Mu and Xiao Yao began their long journey.

As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes one's horse run itself to death."

Although the two could see the towering mountain from afar, it took them several hours to finally reach its foot.

Looking at the cave in the distance, Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, once we get through this cave, we should be able to reach Tiger Hemp Town before dark..."

Tigermare is located on the other side of Ross Mountain and is the only town between Snowflake City and Ross Mountain.

Miners usually replenish supplies and rest in Huma Town.

It houses a Pokémon Center and a battle club.

It's a fairly prosperous town.

but:

Xia Mu looked around at the surroundings, then took out his phone with a puzzled expression and opened the Pokémon distribution page in the Pokédex.

"There should be Iron-Boned Natives here..."

Iron-willed natives.

The evolved form of the Porter, a Fighting-type Pokémon.

It is adept at demolishing houses and is one of the favorite Pokémon of Unova's Demolitionists.

Because it's a Pokémon that counters Ice-type Pokémon, Natsuki plans to film some footage of Ironhide and include it in the video.

You can look around.

Xia Mu, however, did not see any trace of the Iron-Boned Natives.

"Could they have all been taken over by the miners in the Ross Mountains?"

Because I have some issues with Boss Ju.

So while looking at those employees of Boss Ju, Xia Mu continued to flip through the illustrated guide.

"Stone balls, subterranean rocks, stone-dwelling crabs..."

Rock-type Pokémon are also effective against Ice-type Pokémon.

But if he wanted to photograph these Pokémon living in the mine, Natsuki felt he could only hope for good luck as he passed through the cave.

Fortunately.

Since the newly captured Little Blacksmith is of the Steel type, I don't need to capture any more Pokémon.

Otherwise, given the appearance of the Pokémon from Mount Ross, Natsuki seriously doubted whether they could integrate into his team.

After putting down Shin-chan, who was perched on his shoulder with her tongue sticking out, Natsuki took out two bottles of mineral water from his backpack.

"Let's rest for a bit, we still have to climb the mountain later..."

"Okay, sure!"

Xiaoyao took a couple of light breaths and sat down on a large rock nearby.

After taking the water from Xia Mu, Xiao Yao unscrewed the cap, tilted her head back, and revealed her fair neck.

Gudu Gudu!

The cool liquid glided across the tip of my tongue and slid down my throat.

"Ah~ That feels so good!"

Watching Xiaoyao gulp down a whole bottle of mineral water in an instant, and then looking at herself still pouring water for Xinye Miao, Xia Mu couldn't help but lick her dry lips.

"Meow~"

Looking at the full bowl of mineral water in her little bowl, Xinye Miao rubbed against Xia Mu's right foot and stuck out her pink little tongue to lick the sweetness.

at this time.

Natsuki was finally able to drink to his heart's content.

"Haa~"

Xia Mu drank a bottle of mineral water and felt like he was drinking ice-cold soda.

That pleasant feeling instantly attracted the little blacksmith inside the Poké Ball.

"Clang?!"

After popping out of the Poké Ball.

The young blacksmith, carrying a large hammer, looked at Xia Mu with eyes full of longing.

She wasn't thirsty, she was craving something.

Although it looks like water to Xia Mu, it might not taste like water!

Especially when I think about it.

Today, I personally witnessed the Green Vine Snake adding the tree fruit that I used to eat to its cooking.

But when I tasted it myself, the fruit tasted completely different.

It seems to be recalling the taste from back then.

The little blacksmith wiped his mouth and stretched out his little hand.

"Clang!"

I want one too!

The young blacksmith drank an entire bottle of mineral water but still couldn't figure it out.

Why can you guys drink water that has absolutely no taste so readily?!

The little blacksmith, who had been hiding in the Poké Ball, completely forgot about the scene of Natsuki and May hiking under the scorching sun.

The young blacksmith, sitting on a large rock, held his hammer and pondered deeply.

Is it water specifically for humans to drink?

Or is it because I missed some step?!

Just as the young blacksmith was stroking his chin, pondering whether his and Xia Mu's methods differed...

"Clang?"

The young blacksmith caught a glimpse of a flashing light out of the corner of his eye.

Her years of experience searching for iron told her...

It's hammer material!

On instinct, the young blacksmith raised his hammer and jumped over.

clang!!!

boom!

boom!

The series of loud noises startled Xia Mu and Xiao Yao, who were sitting and chatting.

He suddenly turned around and looked.

The two saw the young blacksmith wielding a large hammer and the Iron-Boned Earthman lying on the ground with a terrified expression.

and.

"that.

Following the direction Xiaoyao pointed, Xia Mu saw several large trees that had been cut in half and an I-beam printed on one of the trees.

There's no need to even open your mouth to explain.

A scene simultaneously appeared in their minds.

The young blacksmith discovered a wild steel carrier and happily swung his hammer at it. The resisting Iron-Boned Native was not only frightened by the superhuman strength, but the I-beam that slipped from his hand also broke several large trees.

"Exiamu blinked."

For a moment, I didn't know whether to praise the young blacksmith for finding the trail of the Iron-Boned Earthling.

The young blacksmith should still be taught a lesson for acting without authorization.

If you keep smashing things like this, it's one thing if you hit the Iron-Boned Earthlings, but if Officer Jenny discovers these trees, I'll be in trouble again!

Fortunately.

It seems that after taking action, he remembered Xia Mu's earnest teachings.

Realizing something was wrong, the young blacksmith made no further moves after knocking away the I-beam.

With one hand touching the iron hammer, the young blacksmith lowered his head and traced patterns on the ground with his small feet.

Obviously.

She realized her mistake.

The boss didn't say anything about robbing, but I already started. What should I do?

Will we still be able to eat good food in the future?

Are there still any alloys that sound amazing?

The young blacksmith felt uneasy.

The same goes for the Iron-Boned Earthling who was knocked down by a single blow.

Although his well-trained muscles were no match for the little radish in front of him.

but.

Compared to the frustration of being overwhelmed by the little girl, the greedy look in the little blacksmith's eyes when he rushed over was what frightened the Pokémon more.

Is this Pokémon I've never seen before going to eat me?!

Iron-Boned Earthling swallowed hard.

Although he didn't know why this unfamiliar Pokémon suddenly stopped, Ironhide decided to slip away first.

The Iron-Bone Earthling quietly got up, glanced at the motionless blacksmith, and then at the human who seemed to be about to say something to him.

Push off with both feet.

"Dongde~"

He didn't even have time to pick up his own I-beams before the Iron-Boned Man vanished in a flash.

???

Xia Mu blankly withdrew his outstretched right hand.

"Since they've already run away, let's just leave it at that!"

Xia Mu had originally planned to use energy cubes as compensation, but since the Iron-Boned Earthling was gone...

"Then I'll take the I-beams you didn't want~"

After calling out softly.

Xia Mu, believing he had gained the tacit approval of the Iron-Boned Earthlings, walked up to the young blacksmith.

"Don't worry, it's understandable that you didn't realize it at first, but remember to tell me next time!"

"Clang?"

The scolding he had feared did not come, and the young blacksmith looked up at Xia Mu in surprise.

"But only once. If you do it again next time, I won't let the Green Vine Snake feed you."

Xia Mu rubbed the young blacksmith's head with a smile.

"Let's go pick up some trash. These days, Pokémon really don't know anything about protecting the environment..."

"Qiang looked at Xia Mu, who was rubbing his head with a gentle smile, and blinked his sore eyes."

It's similar to, yet different from, past instances where Pokémon stole someone's hammer.

The young blacksmith was a little confused about how he was feeling.

but.

She was certain that today was the luckiest day of her life.

"Clang!"

The young blacksmith nodded heavily, regaining his energy.

She skipped and hopped along behind Xia Mu, heading towards the I-beam.

"Really..."

Seeing this, Haruka, who had originally wanted to criticize Natsuki's behavior, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Shaking her head, Xiaoyao decided not to disturb Xia Mu and the little blacksmith for the time being.

"Forget it, I'll just apologize when I run into those Iron-Boned Earthlings!"

At this time.

In a mine shaft inside Ross Mountain.

The old construction worker, who was enthusiastically arm wrestling with a tough, earth-man, tilted his ear.

As the hurried footsteps drew closer.

The old craftsman finally saw the Iron-Boned Earthman, panting heavily, appear at the cave entrance.

Looking at his empty hands, the old craftsman frowned.

"Crack?!"

Seeing his boss's tough-guy expression relax.

They immediately started complaining, making a lot of noise.

As the Iron-Bone Earthling gestured and embellished his story, all the Pokémon present were taken aback.

What the hell?

A demon that feeds on iron-boned earthworms?!

That's insane!
