Chapter 42 The Man of the North Wind
However, while the others were caught off guard by the sudden burst of Jianzi Mian's attack.
However, Lu An was not careless.
He quickly dodged the two powders and rushed outside.
With the power of light covering the entire area, it's not impossible for it to directly stop the shuttlecock.
But Lu An did not do that.
Because it is obvious that this shuttlecock was not the culprit.
The guy hiding somewhere, dressed in a purple evening suit, is actually Jumpluff's trainer.
Even if we catch the shuttlecock this time and take the transparent bell back from it, there's no guarantee it won't be stolen again next time.
So Lu An secretly followed behind the departing shuttlecock.
He's going to find out who's behind this!
That guy was originally watching the performance, but he also had to catch the shuttlecock.
Therefore, they must not have hidden very far.
Although Jianzi Mian carefully sprinkled paralyzing powder along the way, it was not enough for Lu An.
Lu An quickly noticed that the shuttlecock had stopped moving.
"Hmm."
A man in a purple evening tuxedo took a bell from the shuttlecock and inhaled its scent with relish.
"With this transparent bell, I am now truly qualified to pursue Suicune."
"Jianzi Mian, thank you for getting me the transparent bell."
"Mmm mmm".
"How could you be so careless as to bring a tail back with you?"
"Hmm?"
The man looked in the direction where Lu An was hiding:
"Isn't this guest going to show up yet? You've been following Jianzi Mian for quite a while now, haven't you?"
Seeing this, Lu An stopped hiding and revealed himself.
"What are you trying to do by following my shuttlecock for so long?"
Lu An sneered: "Then what were you planning to do by stealing that transparent bell?"
The man showed no shame at being exposed; instead, he made an exaggerated gesture:
"That's because I have lofty aspirations!"
"Therefore, the existence of the transparent bell is necessary."
Lu An remained noncommittal: "It's to capture Suicune, right? Your ambitions are lofty, but that's no excuse for stealing Mei's Clear Bell, Suicune."
The man whom Lu An called Shui Jing was taken aback:
"Shui Jing, who's Shui Jing? Who are you calling?"
Lu An sighed helplessly, "Stop pretending, Shui Jing, I already know it's you."
"You like to dress so fashionably, are crazy about Suicune, and know the special use of the transparent bell. There's no one else who could compare to you."
After hearing Lu An's words, the man in purple remained silent for a long time before revealing his true intentions:
"That's right, I am the man of the North Wind, destined to be favored by Suijun."
"So who are you? How do you know my name? Do I know you?"
Lu An shrugged; that was naturally impossible.
Lu An's impression of Shui Jing came from the original work.
In the original work, Suikyō carries a string of transparent bells and rushes to every place where Suicune might appear.
Although not inherently bad, she sometimes does small, mischievous things for Suicune.
It can be said that throughout the entire original work, Lu An has rarely seen anyone as crazy and obsessed with a certain Pokémon as Shui Jing.
Seeing that Lu An had no intention of explaining, Shui Jing didn't bother to say anything more.
"Although I don't know who you are, I'm sorry, but I can't return the transparent bell to you."
"Naughty Thunderball!"
Shui Jing took out a red and white Poké Ball and threw it at Lu An. Then, a white and red "Poké Ball" dozens of times larger appeared from the ball.
“Good luck, good luck!”
Naughty Thunderbolt appeared and unleashed a 100,000-volt attack with a sinister grin.
Quite terrifying power.
Unfortunately, he encountered Lu An.
Without any command, the light cloth automatically jumps out of the ball.
An invisible wall appeared in front of Lu An, blocking the attack of the mischievous lightning bomb.
Lu An then threw the Mooncloth's high-grade ball directly at Shui Jing.
"Eebu!"
(???)?
With all his muscles bulging, Yuebu jumped out of the ball and lunged at Shuijing with a sinister grin.
Directly attacking the trainer is a typical style of wild fighting trainers.
Shui Jing quickly had the shuttlecock held up in front of her:
"Shuttlecock cotton, the wind of a fairy!"
"Eebubu!"
But when Yuebu faced the fairy attack from Jianzi Mian, he did not flinch and instead charged straight at Shuijing, enduring the fairy's wind.
"Mooncloth, use the thief."
"what!"
Shui Jing's expression changed, and she suddenly felt her clothes, which contained the transparent bell, become lighter.
When he came to his senses, Umbreon had already returned to Lu An's side, holding a transparent bell in its mouth and handing it to him.
"hateful!"
Shui Jing never expected that the transparent bell he had worked so hard to obtain would be taken back by Lu An so easily.
"Damn it, if that's how it is, then don't blame me for taking it by force! Mischievous Thunder Bomb, use Thunder!"
“Good luck, good luck!”
Just as Lu An was preparing to have the two Eevee dogs deal with the lightning attack, a shout came from afar:
"Sui Kyo! Stop!"
Pine needles were seen rushing towards them from afar.
Both Lu An and Shui Jing were surprised.
You should know that when Song Ye used the telescope, he actually ate a whole bunch of sleeping powder and paralysis powder from the shuttlecock cotton.
Sleep powder, as the name suggests, makes people sleepy.
What about paralysis powder?
It's simple, everyone has fallen asleep at their desk at some point, right?
Sometimes, prolonged compression of blood flow can lead to numbness in the hands and feet, making it impossible to move.
That's the effect of paralysis powder.
Pine Needle managed to find them despite the effects of both powders; he truly deserves to be called the gym leader, he's practically a superman.
Pine Leaf approached, directly intervening in the fight between the two.
Then his legs went weak, as if the last breath that had carried him to this place had worn off, and the numbing powder had taken effect.
"Xiaosong!"
Seeing this, Shuijing quickly helped Songye, who was about to fall to the ground.
The pine needle, which was being supported by Shui Jing, slapped him on the head.
"Snapped!"
"You're really going too far! Look what you've done! You even stole things from Xiaomei's house."
After reprimanding Shui Jing, Song Ye looked at Lu An apologetically:
"Your name is Lu An, right? I'm sorry, Shui Jing really did something wrong this time."
"But he's my good friend. Could you please give me some face and let this matter drop?"
Shui Jing retorted stubbornly, "Who needs him to give me face? If it weren't for Xiao Song being here, he would need me to give him face!"
Songye slapped Shuijing on the head again:
"Shut up! Haven't you caused enough trouble already? Xiaomei and the others are still lying on the ground."
After hearing what Matsuba said, Mizukyo muttered a few words, but ultimately said nothing more.
However, just because the other side was resolved doesn't mean Lu An was convinced.
Lu An shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that won't work."
Matsuba, being supported by Mizukyo, was somewhat anxious:
"Lu An, you're Xiao Mei's friend, right? This is actually a misunderstanding."
"Shui Jing isn't a bad person by nature, but his methods are sometimes a bit extreme. I'll reprimand him when I get back and make him apologize to Xiao Mei."
"Now that you've retrieved the transparent bell, how about we leave it at that?"
