Chapter 276: The Timid Ones

Watching the constantly swaying herb bushes, Andrew asked, "Anjie, have you thought of a way to catch them?"

"Of course!" Anjie nodded with a bit of a guilty conscience, then looked down at Miss Petilil beside him.

Miss Petilil snorted softly and stretched out a hand towards Anjie.

"What's up?" Anjie asked.

After Miss Petilil took the grass seeds, she divided them into four portions and handed them to Florges and the three Floette.

"Whoosh ~"

"Labe ~"

Florges and Floette understood, and flew over the herb field with the grass seeds, scattering them into the herb field.

Then, they released a shimmering green light from their bodies, and the light fell into the herb field, coating the entire herb field with a layer of light.

Then everyone saw Miss Petilil slowly walk into the herb field.

Bathing in the grassland lit by Florges and Floette, Miss Petilil opened her arms, and grass-type energy converged towards her.

Under her control, the grass seeds that had been scattered into the ground immediately took root and sprouted, and quickly grew into vines.

The vines shuttled quickly through the herb field like snakes, searching for the figures of the troublemakers.

Looking at the glowing vines, A-Xiang looked at Anjie in surprise and asked, "Mr. Anjie, is that Grassy Terrain?"

"Ah? Is… is it?" Anjie was also dumbfounded, because he had just learned that Miss Petilil had this ability!

Through the Grassy Terrain controlled vines, Miss Petilil could easily sense everything in the herb field, and soon she found the traces of the troublemakers, so she controlled the vines to pounce over.

"Squeak ~ ~" The troublemaker let out a scream and pounced directly at the vines sweeping towards it.

It had sharp teeth and bit off the vines in one bite.

However, the breaking of one vine did not affect anything, and soon more vines swept towards it from all directions.

The troublemaker panicked and fled, but the vines were like a net, everywhere.

The other two troublemakers quickly approached Miss Petilil and pounced on her.

Miss Petilil calmly threw out Magical Leaf, and the two troublemakers rushing towards her were immediately knocked away.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~ ~" Almost in a moment, one of the troublemakers was caught.

Anjie and the others outside the herb field could clearly hear the troublemaker's panicked screams, but because of the dense herb bushes and the dark night, they couldn't see its true face.

The captured troublemaker was wrapped in vines, and it lowered its head to bite the vines, but immediately a new vine strangled its neck and head, preventing its head from moving.

When the other two troublemakers saw their companion being caught, they immediately pounced towards the vines that were binding their companion, trying to bite the vines.

As soon as they moved, the vines from all directions had already tied them up tightly.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~"

"Squeak squeak squeak ~"

"Squeak squeak squeak ~"

Along with three sharp screams, Anjie and the others saw the vines lift three Pokémon into the air.

Andrew and A-Xiang immediately shined their flashlights over, and everyone finally saw the true face of the troublemakers.

Anjie's previous guess was only half right. The troublemakers were indeed mouse Pokémon, but they were not Raticate and Rattata.

Raticate and Rattata are brown and purple Pokémon respectively, but the ones being held in the air by Miss Petilil are white Pokémon.

They stand upright on two feet, with small bodies, round heads, and two big ears that are particularly eye-catching, and they look much cuter than Rattata and Raticate.

It's Maushold! Anjie recognized the identities of the three Pokémon at a glance.

No, to be precise, in Pokémon biology, the three individuals of Maushold are considered to be the same Pokémon!

No wonder they had almost identical aura in Anjie's perception earlier!

Anjie thought that what he sensed yesterday was clearly four auras, so that means they are actually the four-family form of Maushold, instead of the three-form in front of him?

Maushold, the Family Pokémon, Normal type, like Exeggcute and Falinks, although each individual can act independently, they actually need to cooperate to live.

Maushold has two forms, a three-family and a four-family, depending on the number of family members.

Maushold evolves from Tandemaus.

Tandemaus, as the name suggests, is a composite creature in which two family members cooperate to live.

When one day, this family suddenly has one or two more members, it means that they have evolved into Maushold.

The relationship between the members of Maushold is very complicated, and the situations are different. They may be siblings, parents and children, or they may be individuals with no blood relationship at all.

At this time, the three Maushold caught by Miss Petilil are composed of two big ones and one small one.

Miss Petilil controlled the vines and slowly sent Maushold to the ridge.

Andrew angrily stepped forward, "Okay, so you have been the ones causing trouble! If I don't give you a hard time today, you'll think our Herb Village is easy to bully!"

Saying that, he grabbed the villager's iron shovel next to him and was about to hit Maushold with it.

The three Maushold were already trembling with fright at this time. Seeing the iron shovel coming over, they subconsciously closed their eyes and huddled together.

At this time, Anjie grabbed the iron shovel, and he smiled and comforted Andrew, "Grandpa Andrew, calm down, the damage has already been done, it's useless for you to be angry, and it hurts your body."

Andrew threw the iron shovel on the ground and said with a distressed expression, "They don't know how much herb they have ruined for us. That's what everyone has worked hard for a year to grow…"

Anjie said, "Yes, yes, I understand. My family also farms. If I work hard for a year and see the crops that are about to be harvested being ruined, I will kill the troublemakers!"

"Right? You say I can't be angry, that's everyone's hard work…"

Under Anjie's comfort, Andrew was finally not as angry as before. He babbled to Anjie about the recent losses caused by Maushold.

Anjie said, "Grandpa Andrew, leave Maushold to me, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"

Andrew nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I'm relieved to have you take care of things. Be sure to teach them a lesson!"

After saying that, Andrew turned around and went with the other villagers to check the damaged herb field.

Anjie looked at the tearful Maushold and said, "Do you know how to be afraid now? Why didn't you know how to be afraid when you were doing bad things?"

Maushold's level is quite high, but Anjie didn't expect them to be so timid.

An Jie couldn't understand why they were causing trouble with such little courage.

Thinking this, he took out a Poké Ball and threw it, instantly capturing all three Maushold.

The Poké Ball shook twice before becoming still, proving the capture was successful; they didn't struggle.

They really are timid.

Without the Maushold, the vines controlled by the Lilligant quickly withered and soon disappeared.

The price for Lilligant controlling the grass seeds to quickly take root and sprout is that they would wither due to exhausting their life force.

Lilligant are just ordinary Pokémon; they aren't Xerneas and don't have the ability to freely manipulate plants to grow and harvest quickly.

"Let's talk somewhere else!" An Jie said to the Lilligant.

"Li di ~" Lilligant nodded.

So, An Jie took Lilligant, Floette, and Flabébé back to Andrew's house first.

Seeing An Jie return, Grandma Yulian quickly asked, "How did it go? Is the matter resolved?"

An Jie smiled and said, "It's all resolved, don't worry."

Grandma Yulian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, "That's good, that's good! Now everyone can finally feel at ease; they've been quite troubled lately."

After speaking, she looked at An Jie with a kind face, "Thanks to you, An Jie."

An Jie waved his hand and said, "I came to Vanilla Village to solve this matter, it's all I should do."

After chatting with Grandma Yulian for a while, An Jie returned to his temporary guest room and took out a Poké Ball to release the Maushold.

As soon as the family of three came out, they quickly hid in the corner, trembling and huddling together.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~ ~" One of them kept kowtowing to An Jie, begging him not to hurt them.

An Jie asked, "Can you tell me the reason you're causing trouble? You shouldn't be causing trouble for no reason, right?"

The three Maushold looked at each other, then nodded at An Jie with tears in their eyes.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~ ~" The largest of the Maushold cautiously stepped forward and told An Jie the reason.

It turned out that they were Pokémon traveling around with their companions.

When passing through Vanilla Village, one of their companions suddenly fell ill.

They didn't know what illness it was, but it was in great pain every day.

Once, the Maushold unintentionally brought back the Heal Herb they had taken from Vanilla Village and gave it to their friend to eat, and the friend was surprised to find that its body was no longer as painful as before.

So, in order to save their friend, the Maushold began to frequently steal Heal Herbs from Vanilla Village.

However, as time went on, their friend's need for Heal Herbs grew, and they had to enter Vanilla Village more and more frequently.

The large amount of Heal Herbs being stolen finally attracted the attention of the villagers, so they were chased and intercepted by the villagers, and finally only dared to appear at night.

After eating a large amount of Heal Herbs, the Maushold found that their friend's condition not only didn't improve, but got worse.

However, if they didn't eat Heal Herbs, their friend's pain would continue to increase, which made it very difficult for them, so they still had to steal Heal Herbs from the village despite the risk of being caught by the villagers.

After listening to the Maushold's story, An Jie fell into deep thought.

Heal Herbs have a pain-relieving effect, so the Maushold's friend would feel less pain after eating it.

But although Heal Herbs can relieve pain, they can't cure diseases.

An Jie guessed that the reason why the Maushold's friend was getting more and more painful might be because its condition had been suppressed for too long and had worsened.

After the Maushold finished telling the reason, they began to kowtow to An Jie again, begging An Jie to let them go back to take care of their friend.

An Jie thought for a while and said, "Can you take me to see your friend?"

When the Maushold heard this, they thought that An Jie was going to catch their friend as punishment, so they cried and begged An Jie not to.

Seeing how timid they were, An Jie helplessly thought: It's really hard for you to dare to come here to steal things.

"Okay, I'm not going to do anything to your friend, I just want to see its condition and see if I can help it."

The three Maushold were stunned and looked up at An Jie in disbelief.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~" Really? Are you really willing to help us?

An Jie nodded, "Really, what good would it do me to lie to you?"

"Squeak squeak squeak ~ ~" The three Maushold immediately looked at An Jie with gratitude.

Their friend's condition was getting worse and worse, and they were really afraid that their friend would die if this continued.

An Jie said again, "I can help you, but I have one request."

What request? The three Maushold looked at An Jie suspiciously, wondering if he was going to punish them.

Thinking this, the three Maushold huddled together again, trembling.

An Jie couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't let your imagination run wild! After I help you, you have to apologize to everyone in Vanilla Village!"

The three Maushold fell silent upon hearing this; wouldn't they be beaten to death?

Seeing them silent, An Jie said, "Since you've done something wrong, you have to face it bravely. Don't worry, I'll be with you!"

The three Maushold looked at each other, and finally the largest one took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said:

"Squeak squeak squeak ~" We are willing to apologize!

For the sake of their friend, it was willing to accept punishment!

"Good children!" An Jie smiled and patted the heads of the Maushold one by one.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~ ~" The largest Maushold tugged at An Jie's trouser leg, wanting An Jie to go with them to see their friend now, as they were very worried about their friend's condition.

"Okay, let's set off now!" An Jie nodded in agreement.

Although it was already late, the patient's condition couldn't be delayed.

So, after An Jie said goodbye to Grandma Yulian, he followed the Maushold out the door.

In the night, An Jie, with Lilligant, Floette, and Flabébé, held a flashlight and followed behind the Maushold, walking all the way towards the forest outside the village.

An Jie asked as he walked, "You should have another member, right? Why didn't it come today?"

The three Maushold were surprised that An Jie actually knew they had another family member.

"Squeak squeak squeak ~" The largest Maushold explained the reason to An Jie.

It turned out that during the battle, one of the Maushold was injured when it pounced on Aegislash, and was currently recuperating at their temporary residence.

Through the conversation, An Jie learned that the four Maushold did not have any blood relationship with each other; they met on their journey and then lived together.
