The Chapter get Retranslated
Swampert listened to Qingwu's words with doubt, "My stomach ache can be cured? As long as I entrust my child to him, no, no."
Swampert quickly shook its head. Its child was the continuation of its life, and it couldn't just give it away like that. At most, it would just starve like it was doing now; it was already used to hunger anyway.
But the person in front of it didn't give up, smiling and relentlessly saying to Swampert, "Think about it, you already have this problem. What if your child inherits this problem? Can you bear to let it suffer, to starve like you?" Qingwu said earnestly to Swampert.
Actually, Qingwu knew very well that this Swampert had mutated.
This mutation was not hereditary, so these Pokémon Eggs would not inherit Swampert's strange illness.
Qingwu only said this deliberately to make Swampert agree to let him take its child.
After Qingwu spoke, Swampert hesitated a lot.
To be honest, it also had these concerns, which was why it had not hatched its Pokémon Egg after laying it.
It didn't want its child to experience this day-after-day, year-after-year life of starvation, unable to sleep well, and being forcefully woken up by hunger.
Swampert once wished that if its strange illness could be cured, it would be willing to give anything. But when the person who could cure its illness appeared, it hesitated.
Swampert was very aware of its stomach acid's digestive ability.
Even if this human poisoned it, Swampert's stomach acid could easily decompose the toxins, which was why Swampert, relying on its abilities, became the leader of this tribe.
"How about this, I'll give you the antidote first. If you feel it's fine, we'll discuss the next matter." Qingwu directly handed the indigo-colored reagent to Swampert.
"In a moment, you'll know if I'm lying." Swampert took the potion with its fan-like hand and raised its sandbag-sized fist, smashing a nearly one-ton rock into countless pieces, as if warning Qingwu not to play any tricks.
Swampert swallowed the liquid from the indigo-colored reagent in one gulp.
Swampert only felt a trace of cool liquid flowing down its throat, and then its churning, restless stomach stopped its intense hunger for food.
"Camoh!" Swampert rubbed its belly. That's it? Is that all? Swampert was bewildered.
"How is it? It worked, right?" Qingwu smiled as he looked at Swampert, no longer fearing the enormous pressure from Swampert's body. Swampert patted its belly, indicating that it was fine now.
Just then, a warning cry from Swampert suddenly came from afar. Large groups of Mudkip scrambled out of the lake in a panic.
Marshtomp protected the Mudkip, slowly retreating. Swampert rushed forward without a word, simultaneously summoning the remaining Swampert to jointly resist the enemy.
"Is this an enemy invasion?" Qingwu saw shark fins rising from the distant lakeside.
"So it's a Sharpedo attack!" Coincidentally, Qingwu had witnessed Swampert fighting Sharpedo last time, and the huge Sharpedo had left a deep impression on him.
Not only were the Sharpedo attacking, but countless Three-Colored Fish also leapt out of the water, looking menacing.
The sky suddenly became overcast, turning from clear to cloudy. Dark clouds obscured the sun's radiance, and the surroundings became dim, like a night where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
The direct collision of the dark clouds produced rumbling thunder, and silver lightning danced, illuminating the Sharpedo's grim exterior. Marshtomp huddled with the Mudkip, trembling.
"Come out, Crobat, Aron, Ledyba!" The four Pokémon were summoned.
"Crobat, go with Marshtomp to protect the Mudkip. Aron, escort the Mudkip and Marshtomp into the island cave and protect them. Squirtle, calm the Mudkip tribe." Qingwu then hurried to Swampert's nest and carefully placed Swampert's Pokémon Egg into his backpack.
Qingwu even found a Mystic Water and a high-grade Water Stone beneath the Pokémon Egg.
At this point, strong winds began to blow, lifting the Mudkip off the ground.
If Crobat hadn't caught the Mudkip, they would surely have fallen into the Sharpedo's mouths, becoming their meal.
"Crobat, use Hurricane to counteract these strong winds!" Qingwu shouted at Crobat.
Crobat flapped its wings with all its might, creating rows of wind walls, which safely escorted the Mudkip tribe into the cave.
At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, illuminating the confronting faces of Swampert and Sharpedo.
All the Swampert present knew that their leader was not yet full and was still troubled by its stomach illness.
Torrential rain poured down, forming dense lines of water droplets.
The lake's water level rapidly rose, quickly submerging part of the island.
It turned out that the Sharpedo intended to use the Rain Dance move to wipe out the Swampert tribe, which had occupied the island for years.
The Sharpedo leader revealed a cunning smile.
This plan had been long in the making. The previous battle with Swampert was merely to gauge its strength.
This Swampert leader seemed to be unwell and couldn't hold on for long.
This time, the Sharpedo pack had captured a group of Pokémon that could use Rain Dance, threatening the safety of their offspring to make these Pokémon use the move.
The Sharpedo leader led all the Sharpedo and Three-Colored Fish, aiming to completely capture the lake island and occupy the most water-energy-rich area of the entire Trial Island.
"This is not good," Qingwu said as he led the Mudkip and Marshtomp into the cave. This cave was a refuge dug by the entire Swampert tribe to defend against external invasions.
Qingwu guarded the entrance of the cave, watching the distant battle. He also noticed that the lake water gradually submerged a part of the lake island's land, giving the Sharpedo and Three-Colored Fish a wider range of activity.
"What a pity, I don't have any Electric or Grass-type Pokémon," Qingwu thought with some regret. Otherwise, with the power of Electric and Grass-type Pokémon, controlling the Sharpedo and Three-Colored Fish would be as easy as controlling a giant monster.
"Gulu gulu!" Qingwu heard the Mudkip making rumbling sounds in the cave and knew that they had been attacked by the Sharpedo and Three-Colored Fish before eating. This was the best time to win over the Mudkip tribe.
Qingwu pulled out a large bag of ready-made Pokéblocks from his backpack and handed them to Squirtle.
"Squirtle, distribute these Pokéblocks to the Mudkip and Marshtomp. I believe you can do this job well." Qingwu was currently anxious about the battle and couldn't focus on these tasks. At this moment, Squirtle, who could soothe the Mudkip, came in handy.
"Crobat, the Swampert defending outside seems to be hungry and losing stamina. I'm counting on you!" Qingwu handed a bag of Pokéblocks to Crobat.
Crobat looked at the stormy weather outside, hesitated for a moment, then plunged into the curtain of rain without hesitation.
With the protection of its Tailwind State's Air Armor, the rain outside had a negligible effect on Crobat.
The agile Swampert leader heard the sound of Crobat's flapping wings. The Swampert leader felt something thrown into its mouth. It chewed lightly and realized it was something it had eaten recently.
Its body, which had cooled due to the rain, began to regain vitality after eating this item.
So the Swampert leader shouted loudly, telling all the Swampert to open their mouths, making it easier for Crobat to accurately drop the Pokéblocks.
Crobat's movements were extremely fast and elusive. The thick-headed Sharpedo didn't notice Crobat's small actions.
Instead, they felt as if the Swampert had suddenly taken some kind of medicine, becoming incredibly energetic and fierce. The Swampert raised their sandbag-sized fists and relentlessly pounded the Sharpedo's heads.
"Hiss hiss!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the Sharpedo leader opened its blood-red mouth and shouted at some of the Three-Colored Fish and Sharpedo that had not yet acted.
It signaled them to attack the Mudkip's refuge cave, attempting to threaten the Swampert with the lives of the Mudkip tribe.
The Swampert were surrounded and intercepted by the Sharpedo, only able to watch helplessly as countless Three-Colored Fish and some Sharpedo swam towards the cave.
Although the lake water only covered a part of the lake island, it was no problem at all for the Three-Colored Fish, who could use Aqua Jet.
Qingwu, in the light of the lightning, discovered the current situation of the Three-Colored Fish and Sharpedo using Aqua Jet. He then spoke to the Marshtomp, who had recovered their stamina.
The Marshtomp here were generally around Level 30, which counted as the middle strength of the Swampert tribe. Facing Sharpedo also around Level 30 and Three-Colored Fish around Level 20, if properly trained, they could still repel this wave of attacks.
"Marshtomp, all of you use the Ice Beam move!" Swampert was a good leader. Qingwu glanced around and saw that almost all the Marshtomp present had been taught this exceptionally valuable Ice Beam move.
"Don't worry about running out of stamina after using moves. Rest assured, I'm here!" Qingwu said to the Marshtomp, who felt exceptionally relieved upon hearing his words.
"Crobat, use Air Slash to cut off their Aqua Jet move!" "Aron, use the Rock Tomb move to knock the Sharpedo and Three-Colored Fish that come ashore back into the water!" Qingwu gave the same orders to Aron.
The Sharpedo leader watched the Swampert leader grow stronger and more aggressive, a sly smile appearing on its face. It had a big surprise left for the Swampert tribe; it wondered how surprised they would be when they discovered it.
"What a loss, what a loss!" Qingwu truly regretted why he hadn't found an Electric or Grass-type Pokémon. If he had, he could just unleash a Thunderbolt, and the experience points would surge.
The Swampert leader was more than ten levels higher than the Sharpedo leader, but it couldn't withstand the sheer number of Sharpedo. Sharpedo could breed, and they wanted to defeat Swampert through numbers.
As the Marshtomp collectively used Ice Beam, countless Three-Colored Fish and Sharpedo were frozen in blocks of ice.
The Sharpedo were a bit better off; they moved their bodies slightly, and the frozen ice blocks soon cracked into several pieces.
The Sharpedo successfully broke out of the ice, but the Three-Colored Fish did not have that ability. Frozen in the ice blocks, their bodies were completely unable to move, except for their eyes.
