Because the Gogoats ran away in all directions, the Excadrill under the small mound didn't know which one to chase for a moment, so it could only stay where it was.
"Ahhh!!!"
At this time, Captain Talonflame descended from the sky, his whole body burning with scorching flames. He used the move Brave Bird, raised his sharp and powerful claws and grabbed the small mound fiercely.
boom!!!
With an explosion, the small mound of earth was crushed by Captain Talonflame, but unfortunately, the Excadrill under the mound ran too fast and was not hit by the Brave Bird attack.
As if it had realized that it had been ambushed, the Excadrill tried to escape immediately.
But since Eddie had suffered a loss once, he certainly wouldn't make the same mistake again. He took out a Poké Ball, and a red light flashed, and Ramos's Tropius appeared outside.
The Tropius, which had already received Eddie's orders, came out and immediately locked onto the fast-moving small mound of earth.
It raised its strong and powerful thighs and stomped hard on the ground. The ground immediately shook and cracks appeared. All the cracks extended in the direction of the small mound where the Excadrill was hiding.
This is the move Earthquake.
The ground was shaking violently, and the underground was no less shaken. Soon, with a scream, a black and brown Pokémon was thrown out from the ground.
This Pokémon's head and claws are made of giant steel Excadrill. It is indeed a Excadrill!
However, when Eddie's eyes met the Excadrill, he couldn't help but be stunned.
What kind of Excadrill was that? Its eyes were fierce and there was even an abnormal light flashing in them. It looked completely irrational.
Not only that, as soon as it came out from underground, an abnormal roar came from its throat, and its mouth full of sharp teeth did not look like what a Excadrillshould have.
Finally, Eddie saw dried blood stains on some of its fur. The blood stains had turned black, making it look dirty and smelly. Even though it burrowed in the soil, it couldn't wipe off the blood stains.
"Roar~"
The Excadrillroared at Eddie, Tropius and Talonflame that surrounded it one by one, and then used the Dig move to drill into the ground.
The Tropius raised its foot and stomped hard again. The Excadrill, which had just entered with its head, was shaken out again and fell to the ground.
Captain Talonflame led several of his subordinates and took the opportunity to use Brave Bird attacks at the same time to catch the Excadrill again.
But the fighting instinct of this Excadrill seemed very strong. Although the opportunity that the Talonflame were looking for was very rare, it still reacted.
The Excadrill suddenly turned over and looked back, its body suddenly spun at high speed, and soon turned into a ball.
It uses the move Rapid Spin.
The claws of the Talonflame landed on the Excadrill's spinning body, making a tinkling friction sound that was extremely harsh, and even produced sparks, but it was impossible to cause any effective damage to the Drilbur.
After forcing the Talonflame to retreat, the Excadrill was still not giving up and used the Dig move again to escape, but just like before, it was interrupted by the Tropius's Earthquake move.
Seeing this, the Talonflame swarmed towards the Excadrill again. The Excadrill originally planned to use the same trick again, but its body had just started to spin when the Tropius's Earthquake came again.
The violent vibration of the ground forced the Excadrill to interrupt its Rapid Spin.
This time, the Talonflame's Brave Bird attack finally hit it.
As a Steel-type Pokémon, Excadrill was weak to Fire-type moves, so it let out a painful wail, and the sound was mixed with terrifying ferocity.
He didn't know if it was Eddie's illusion, but he seemed to feel that the faint light emitted from the Excadrill's eyes became deeper.
After being attacked by Earthquakes several times in succession and now being besieged by the energetic Brave Bird attacks of multiple Talonflame, the Excadrill has been seriously injured, and its hidden ferocity has finally been aroused.
"Roar~"
It let out a long howl towards the sky, and at that moment, Eddie saw its eyes turn from white and black to scarlet red. Then huge rocks fell from the sky and smashed towards the Talonflame.
This is the Rock Slide move.
Captain Talonflame reacted extremely quickly. Its wings glowed metallically and it charged headfirst into the boulders that kept falling. Every time it struck, a boulder would be smashed into pieces by its wings.
The other Talonflame followed suit and began to use their Steel Wing moves to fight back, thus resisting the Excadrill's Rock Slide attack.
Taking advantage of the gap when the Excadrill was counterattacking the Talonflame, the Tropius began to prepare its ultimate move. The banana on its neck emitted a golden light, and a ball of hot light condensed at its mouth, emitting a heart-pounding breath.
This is the precursor to the activation of the Grass-type ultimate move, Solar Beam.
It's just that the Solar Beam needs to be charged, so the Tropius needs time to prepare.
This Excadrill is so powerful that it can hold its own even when facing the siege of several Talonflame. You should know that Eddie's Captain Talonflame is not weak either, and he has advantages in attributes and numbers, but he still couldn't defeat it.
Finally, the Tropius finished accumulating power, and a golden beam of light erupted from its mouth, shooting straight at the Excadrill.
The Excadrill had little rationality to begin with, and it went mad because of the injury. All its attention had been attracted by the Talonflame that were besieging it, so how could it notice the Tropius on the other side?
Finally, the Excadrill was submerged in the golden beam of light formed by the Solar Beam.
When the beam of light dissipated, the Excadrill was already lying unconscious in the deep pit.
"Huh~Finally solved!" Eddie breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as the Excadrill fell, the Gogoats that had been hiding elsewhere gathered around again, all wanting to see what this "devil" who had captured several of their companions looked like.
Eddie did not stop them. After teh Gogoats had seen enough, he walked to the edge of the pit, took out a Poké Ball and put the Excadrill in it.
Seeing that the Excadrill successfully entered the Poké Ball, Eddie breathed a sigh of relief. Since it could be collected into the Poké Ball, it meant that the Excadrill was not captured by others, and the possibility of someone manipulating this matter behind the scenes was greatly reduced.
But the appearance of this Excadrill... Eddie felt something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.
Forget it, I'll wait until I get back and show it to Ramos.
Eddie, who was confused, had to give up thinking. He ordered Captain Talonflame to take his subordinates back first, and put the Tropius back into the Poké Ball. Finally, he said to his Gogoats, "Okay, the problem is solved, let's go back!"
"go~go~"
"Go~"
"go~go~go~go~"
…
With the potential threat eliminated, the Gogoats looked more relaxed and their calls became more cheerful.
When we got back to the ranch, Paris and Rob immediately came up to us with worried faces and asked, "How's it going? Did you catch the Excadrill?"
Eddie took out the Poké Ball containing the Excadrill, shook it and said, "Fortunately, the mission has been accomplished. The Excadrill has been captured!"
Paris and Rob first breathed a sigh of relief, and then a bright smile appeared on their faces.
"Eddie, this time it's all thanks to you!"
Eddie shook his head and said, "Although the Excadrill was caught, the missing Gogoat and Skiddo's were not found..."
Hearing this, the smiles on the couple's faces disappeared instantly.
"Actually, we are already mentally prepared..." Rob said after a deep sigh. In fact, they had already given up hope when they saw the bloodstains in the woods.
Eddie comforted him and said, "Maybe there is still a miracle. I will go to Ramos and try to find some clues from the Excadrill."
Paris said, "Good boy, thank you for your trouble."
After expressing their gratitude, the couple insisted on keeping Eddie at their home for lunch, but Eddie was in a hurry to go back and report the outcome of the incident to Ramos, so he politely declined.
But before leaving, the couple gave Eddie many bottles of Gogoat milk again, almost filling up Eddie's Space Backpack. Fortunately, his Space Backpack was not large, otherwise he didn't know how much the couple would give. Eddie could not refuse their enthusiasm at all.
After leaving the ranch, Eddie rode the Tropius straight to the Coumarine City Gym.
When Ramos saw Eddie appear in the gym, he asked in surprise: "Is the problem resolved? So quickly?" The whole morning has not even passed!
Eddie nodded and said, "Yes, it has been solved, but I always feel like something is wrong." As he said that, he told Ramos about the condition of the Excadrill.
After listening to this, Ramos frowned and said to Eddie, "Come with me."
Ramos brought Eddie to the battle field of the Coumarine City Gym, and then said to Eddie: "Release that Excadrill for me to see." After that, he took out the Poké Ball and released a Tangrowth.
Eddie nodded, took out the Poké Ball and released the Excadrill. To his surprise, the Excadrill woke up in such a short time.
It looked crazy and was about to attack Eddie and Ramos, not even caring about its own injuries.
However, with Ramos around, the Excadrill could not make any waves. As soon as it made a move, thick vines flew out from Ramos's Tangrowth and tied it up tightly, leaving only its twisting head exposed.
The Excadrill's eyes were crazy, and the red color in his eyes became more obvious. The look it gave Eddie and Ramos revealed an inexplicable...desire?
Eddie felt that if this Excadrill could break free from its restraints, it would swallow him up in the next second.
Ramos frowned and looked at the Excadrill for a long time, and finally said to Eddie: "Send it to Officer Jenny."
Eddie asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't we look for clues about the missing Gogoat and Skiddo's from it first?"
Ramos was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Send it to the police station first, and we can talk about the rest later."
Eddie had no choice but to nod when he heard that. He felt that Ramos's attitude was a bit strange, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.
"The matter has been resolved. I will send the special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line to you later," Ramos said again.
"Thank you so much!" Hearing this, Eddie finally smiled.
After saying goodbye to Ramos, Eddie rode the Tropius to the police station, handed the Excadrill's Poké Ball to Officer Jenny, and told her what happened on the ranch.
When Officer Jenny saw the condition of the Excadrill, her expression immediately became extremely serious. She then asked Eddie to go back first. They were going to conduct a test on the Drilbur and would notify him when the test results came out.
Eddie thought: There really is something wrong with this Excadrill, otherwise Ramos and Officer Jenny's attitudes wouldn't be so ambiguous.
After leaving the police station, Eddie went back to the Blue Bird Orphanage. He distributed the Gogoat milk sent by Paris and Rob to the children again.
"Wow, Eddie, you really bought it again!" Arthor shouted excitedly while holding the bottle.
Eddie shook his head and said, "Someone else gave it to you. They gave you a lot, so I sent it to you."
"Wow~Wow~Wow~"
Due to economic reasons, children don't have many opportunities to eat snacks or drink beverages, so at this moment, the little ones are running and cheering excitedly in the yard with their bottles in their hands.
Daisy couldn't make a sound, but she still ran behind the others with a smile on her face. Even though she couldn't keep up, she still ran happily.
This time, Paris and Rob sent a lot of Gogoat milk. After giving each child a bottle, there was still a lot left, so he stored it in the orphanage's refrigerator.
Eddie also told Director Eleanor to let the children drink only one bottle a day and not to let them drink more.
Eddie did not leave at noon, but stayed in the orphanage to have lunch with everyone. Although the lunch was very ordinary, Eddie enjoyed it very much.
As soon as Eddie returned to Mystic Mountain, Selene came running over and told him that something had been sent from the Coumarine City Gym.
Eddie guessed that Selene sent the special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line. When Eddie walked into the house, he saw five piles of plants in the yard, each pile neatly stacked on the ground.
As for why there are five piles, it is because there are five types of special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line, namely red, orange, blue, white, and yellow special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line.
Depending on the color of the special flower preferred by the Flabébé line you hold, the color of Florges that will evolve from the Flabébé in the future will also be different.
Although Eddie did not give any special reminder, Selene was considerate enough to prepare one of each of the five colors of special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line for him.
Eddie counted them and found that there were about a hundred plants of each color, which was quite a lot.
However, these special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line are still seedlings, so it may take some time for them to bloom.
"Let's go plant these special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line!" Eddie called out to them after releasing all his Pokémon.
The Pokémon cheered and ran over to help Eddie carry the seedlings.
Eddie did not plant the special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line somewhere else. He cultivated a flower field on a vacant lot in front of his house and planned to plant the special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line here.
There is a lot of open space in front of Eddie's house, so it is no problem to cultivate a flower field. Special flowers preferred by the Flabébé line are beautiful flowers. You can enjoy the flowers when you plant it in front of your house. It's beautiful!
