He knows Pokémon better than me

The first group to enter the jungle, Kachi Mamane, started to get busy after entering the jungle.

Both of them lowered their heads and kept turning over low bushes, including lifting some stones and the bottom of rotten wood, carefully exploring.

"Kachi, my target is a Pokémon called Strong Jaw Henworm, which usually lives in the shade of the jungle... Remember to dig when you see a small pit, this Pokémon also likes to hide in the soil."

Mamane reminded while panting.

The chubby man had just squatted down to look for a while, and he began to sweat profusely.

"Leave it to me, Mamane!!"

Kachi was as excited as the rising sun, his dark body was sweating profusely, and he was turning over suspicious targets everywhere.

A few years ago, several people had been in class together in the Pokémon School, and their relationship was very good.

Kachi planned to help Mamane find the target first, and then concentrate firepower to find his target together.

"Oh right, we need to use the Pokémon's special body organs...!"

Kaqi suddenly remembered what Xiaozhi had taught him before, his eyes lit up, and he released his Salamander.

Salamander's slender and smooth body can easily get into the hard-to-reach cracks of soil, and its sense of smell is also very outstanding, making it a good helper.

But after a while, the two really found a beetle Pokémon from a pile of weeds. It has a gray soft caterpillar body, a head covered with a brown and yellow hard shell, and a pair of large jaws on its mouth.

Strongjawed Helicon, a home bug Pokémon in the Alola region.

Although it is a home bug, it is not as common as the green caterpillar and the thorntail.

Although the initial form only has the insect attribute, it will gain the electric attribute after evolution... This is undoubtedly very consistent with the attribute that Mamane likes.

"Then prepare for battle, Togodmar!!"

Mamane's chubby face tightened immediately, and he launched a challenge to capture it...

This side was progressing quite smoothly, while on the other side, Mao and Shuilian's outdoor course tasks were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Grass-attribute and water-attribute Pokémon..."

Mao looked around and muttered in his heart along the way.

They are all trainers who love single attributes. For the second Pokémon, they naturally have to capture a Pokémon with similar attributes.

The most abundant thing in the jungle is grass-attribute and bug-attribute Pokémon. After a while, Mao found the target on a rotten tree stump leaning against the corner of the rock wall.

This is a Pokémon that looks like a small white mushroom, with three small mushrooms growing on its head. It stands motionless on the rotten wood and pretends to be a real mushroom.

"Found it, it's the Sleeping Mushroom!"

Mao's eyes lit up. This is a Pokémon with grass + fairy attributes.

As natives of Alola, although they only captured one Pokémon, they are quite familiar with the wild Pokémon that live in the ecosystem around Melemele Island.

"Prepare for battle...!"

Sui Lian's expression tightened and she whispered, instantly entering combat mode.

She even released her own Sea Lion to go around the back, front and back to prevent the Sleeping Shroom from escaping.

"Sui Lian..."

Mao laughed dryly. Usually, Shui Lian is introverted and doesn't show off.

But when it comes to serious occasions, she immediately becomes a different person, full of aggression, and even she is sometimes frightened by Shui Lian.

No, it's me who has to be serious now... The goal is to capture this Sleeping Shroom first!

"Anyway, let's fight with all our strength, Sweet Bamboo!"

Mao cheered up and raised his hand to point.

Although her Sweet Bamboo has little combat power, Sleeping Shroom itself is not a particularly powerful Pokémon, so it can be considered evenly matched.

"Zhuzhu...!"

Unlike its weak appearance, this sweet bamboo stared with eyes and looked fierce.

??????55.??????

Although its body is extremely small and no different from the real fruit mangosteen...but faintly, the sweet bamboo has already shown a majestic queen's momentum.

…

After talking about the situation of the two groups next door, the sight returned to Xiaozhi and Liliae's group.

The initial establishment of friendship between the latter and Eevee took a lot of time, and the two fell behind before entering the jungle.

It was Xiaozhi's first time to enter the jungle behind the school. From the outside, it was extremely vast and endless.

It seems that because of the tropical island, the trees here are also unusually tall.

An ordinary banyan tree or pine tree has a very tall body like a coconut tree, but the trees here are thicker than coconut trees, and the branches and leaves are more luxuriant.

In the early morning, the sun can hardly shine in.

Under the trees, there were dense bushes and fallen tree trunks every few meters, almost 1 or 2 meters high. When they walked, they had to climb over these obstacles.

These terrains were not a big problem for Xiaozhi, and he could even jump over them directly like a hurdle... But for Lilia, it was not so easy.

"Be careful, Lilia...!"

Basically, every time he climbed over a horizontal bar, Xiaozhi had to stand on it, turn his head and pull Lilia over.

In addition, Lilia had a gorgeous golden hair hanging down, a large sun hat, and a princess dress...

This lady-like look was really not suitable for action in this environment.

"Huhu... Sorry, Teacher Xiaozhi, I'm holding you back."

After struggling to climb a high beam again, Lillie's face was already red, and there were a lot of sweat on her forehead. She couldn't help but apologize to Xiaozhi.

If Xiaozhi had advanced alone, he would have reached the end of the jungle by now.

"It's a trivial matter~ But I suggest that in future outdoor classes like this, you can change your clothes..."

Lillie looked down at her short skirt. There were already a lot of sawdust stuck to the hem of her skirt, and she was suddenly too embarrassed to answer Xiaozhi's words.

Fortunately, the number of fallen trees in front of us has finally been reduced a lot, so we don’t have to continue to “climb” hard.

"That's weird. Are there any monsters in this forest?"

Xiaozhi also noticed that these huge fallen trees were old and new. You could see uneven and chipped spikes in the broken cross-sections, which were obviously broken by someone using brute force.

There are also some freshly broken trees, and the bark on the surface is still alive.

"The diameter of the tree trunk is only 2 or 3 meters wide, and it is broken with brute force instead of cutting it open with a knife..."

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows, this requires a lot of effort.

Didn’t you say that this jungle is safe?

"Well, there do seem to be some records...some people disappeared after entering the jungle, but a few days later, they were found fainted at the entrance of the jungle."

Lillie said with some uncertainty:

"Although none of these people were alive, they seemed to have been greatly intimidated, and their ribs were all broken... After they woke up, they only said that they were attacked by a huge monster, but the specific description of what the monster looked like was very detailed. Various.”

However, these reports were all from 1 or 2 years ago, and I haven’t heard of anyone being injured in the past year.

In addition, no one was actually killed. It was like being sent to the exit specially every time... so this incident did not make a big fuss later.

Well, it shouldn't be so unlucky, right? They go into the woods on the first day of class and are going to encounter a monster?

"interesting…!"

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up. It seemed that this "safe" jungle for newcomers also hid something interesting!
