**Chapter 62: Twin Hunters**
Bai Feng looked around but didn't find the Truck's Owner. He thought to himself, "Could this be a Poacher?"
In the Pokémon World, the definition of a Poacher isn't particularly clear right now. It's not even forbidden to catch multiple Pokémon at once. However, there are a few points that are clearly defined as Poacher behavior.
One: Using Firearms when catching Pokémon.
Two: Using unconventional Items to imprison (like Cages) or harm Pokémon.
Three: Catching Pokémon in Protected Areas.
After a long while, Bai Feng still didn't see the Truck's Owner. Bai Feng quietly walked out from the Bush and approached the Truck.
"Brionne, help me keep watch. If anyone approaches, Remind me immediately!"
"Sirene~"
Brionne nodded quickly.
When Bai Feng quietly crept to the side of the Truck, the Flabébé finally noticed him.
"La bé~ La bé~"
"La bé~ La bé~"
The Flabébé were Excited, thinking Bai Feng was with the people who caught them. Their little faces were full of anger.
"Shh!" Bai Feng quickly made a quiet gesture to them. "I'm here to save you."
But the Flabébé didn't believe him. Their gazes towards Bai Feng were still full of anger.
Just as Bai Feng was about to check the Iron Cages' Situation, Brionne suddenly cried out. It turned out a tall, thin Young Man had walked out of the Woods not far away at some point. He was carrying a Cage in his hand, and inside the Cage was also a Flabébé.
"La bé~ La bé~"
That Flabébé frantically pounded the Iron Cage, but the tall, thin Young Man sneered, "Don't waste your Strength. This Cage is specially made; you can't open it. Just wait obediently to be sold for Money!"
Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly squatted down, using the Truck to block his figure. Brionne also quickly darted to Bai Feng's side to hide.
While the tall, thin Young Man was still a short distance from the Truck, Bai Feng whispered to Brionne, "Brionne, Sing."
Brionne nodded and immediately began to Sing, using the Truck for cover.
"La la la~"
Seeing this, Bai Feng quickly covered his ears tightly.
It must be said, if you ignore the hypnotic effect of the Singing Voice, Brionne's Singing Voice is indeed beautiful, as if a young maiden is soothing your soul with a gentle Voice.
Hearing this beautiful Singing Voice, the tall, thin Young Man subconsciously stopped his Footsteps.
"Hmm? Where is that Singing Voice coming from?"
Suddenly, his Footsteps faltered, and he showed a tendency to lose his balance. An alarm bell rang in the tall, thin Young Man's heart.
"Not good, someone is ambushing me!"
However, by the time he realized it, it was too late. Brionne's Sing effect was truly strong, especially since it was a sudden, unexpected attack. It was impossible for the tall, thin Young Man not to be affected.
Clang!
The Cage in the tall, thin Young Man's hand fell to the Ground, and he himself also fell headfirst to the Ground. Bai Feng even heard a "thud," indicating he fell quite hard.
Not only was the tall, thin Young Man affected, but the Flabébé in the Cage also fell asleep inside the Cage. Being completely unprepared, they were also affected.
Bai Feng walked out from the shadows, giving Brionne a thumbs-up with a smile and praising, "Brionne, well done!"
() Hehe~
Brionne looked smug.
Bai Feng walked over to the tall, thin Young Man, picked up the Cage that had fallen on the Ground, and after fumbling with it for a while, found that he couldn't open the Cage.
At this moment, Brionne pointed to the tall, thin Young Man's waist. There, a key was hanging.
Bai Feng gave Brionne another thumbs-up and said, "Smart, truly my Pokémon."
()"
Brionne puffed out its chest proudly again.
Bai Feng not only took the key from the tall, thin man's waist but also searched his entire body thoroughly. Besides some miscellaneous Stuff, Bai Feng found a total of four Poké Balls containing Pokémon.
However, he didn't open them. Instead, he locked all the Poké Balls' switches.
That key was indeed used to open the Iron Cages, and it was a master key; all the Iron Cages on the Truck could be opened with this key.
After Bai Feng released all the Flabébé, he found there were a total of eight that had been caught. He took out eight Berry and fed them to the Flabébé one by one. Before long, they all woke up.
Seeing the Flabébé looking wary, Bai Feng said again, "I really came to save you. Look at that person." Saying this, Bai Feng pointed to the tall, thin man sleeping not far away.
Seeing the person who caught them unconscious on the Ground, the Flabébé finally weren't so resistant towards Bai Feng. After all, they had simple personalities and were relatively easy to trust Others.
A few angry Flabébé even wanted to go forward and beat the tall, thin Young Man, but Bai Feng quickly stopped them. That person was just asleep, not dead. It wouldn't be fun if he was woken up.
Bai Feng rummaged through the Truck and finally found a thick hemp rope, with which he tied the tall, thin Young Man up securely.
After gaining the initial trust of the Flabébé, they began to tell Bai Feng about how they were caught.
Originally, they were wandering and adventuring around, carried by the summer Wind. Who would have thought they would be noticed by a pair of Brothers? These Brothers chased them all the way, eventually causing them to unintentionally escape into the Mountains near Fang Xing Mountain.
Although they fled for a long time, they ultimately couldn't escape the Brothers' grasp and were eventually caught one by one here.
From the Flabébé's description, Bai Feng obtained two important pieces of Information: one, they still had companions escaping outside, and two, the ones chasing them were not just one person but a pair of Brothers.
Bai Feng dragged the tall, thin man to the side and then instructed the Flabébé, "You guys keep an eye on this person. I'll go look for the other one and see if I can help you find your companions."
"La bé~ La bé~"
The Flabébé looked at Bai Feng with gratitude, then patted their chests, guaranteeing Bai Feng that they would definitely keep a close watch on the tall, thin man. Before Bai Feng left, they also roughly pointed him in a direction.
Bai Feng took Brionne and followed the direction the Flabébé pointed, searching all the way. Along the way, he also asked Wild Pokémon for Information and finally caught the trail of the other Hunter.
"La bé!!!"
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Bai Feng suddenly heard screams coming from the Woods in the distance. The sound belonged to a Flabébé.
He quickly said to Brionne, "Let's go, let's hurry over and see!"
After saying that, Bai Feng sprinted out, with Brionne following closely behind.
Not long after, Bai Feng heard the sounds of battle coming from ahead. He ran over to look and saw a tall, thin man commanding a Toxicroak to continuously attack a Floette, while behind the Floette were several trembling Flabébé.
Hmm?
When he saw the face of that tall, thin man clearly, Bai Feng was completely bewildered. Wasn't this the person he had just tied up and left for the Flabébé to watch? How did he appear here again?
It took him a while to realize that this pair of Hunter Brothers were actually twins.
That Toxicroak seemed very strong. The Floette was no match for it at all and was injured several times in the blink of an eye.
Floette's Strength was originally inferior to Toxicroak's, and its Type was also weak against Toxicroak. When Bai Feng arrived, he just happened to see it being hit by Toxicroak's Poison Sting, then swaying and falling from the Sky.
"La bé~"
"La bé~ La bé~"
...
Seeing Floette defeated, the few Flabébé were extremely anxious. They finally overcame their fear and simultaneously used Fairy Wind to attack Toxicroak.
But the Flabébé were really too weak. Even a combined attack couldn't do anything to Toxicroak. Toxicroak just waved its large hand, and the Flabébé's Fairy Wind was scattered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Feng used his old trick again. He instructed Brionne once more, "Brionne, Sing!"
"La~"
However, this Hunter was much more alert than his twin Brother. As soon as Brionne's Singing Voice sounded, he sharply looked towards where Bai Feng was hiding.
"Who's there? Toxicroak, Poison Sting!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Without a word, Toxicroak opened its mouth and spat out a string of purple-to-black Poison Sting towards the Bush where Bai Feng was.
Seeing this, Brionne leaped forward and used the Skill Charm Voice. Rings of transparent ripples mixed with Water vapor spread out, forming a barrier in front of Bai Feng and itself. All the Poison Sting that hit it were shattered.
Since he was discovered, Bai Feng no longer hid. He came out of the Bush with Brionne and commanded Brionne:
"Brionne, Water Gun!"
"Sirene!"
Brionne opened its mouth and spat out a Water Gun. The Stance looked as terrifying as Others' Water Cannon.
Toxicroak subconsciously crossed its arms in front to defend, but it was still sent flying by Brionne's Water Gun, crashing heavily into a large Tree and actually breaking the Tree.
Although Brionne hasn't evolved to its final form like Toxicroak, Bai Feng has always used his Golden Finger to help it light up its Hidden Energy Circuit. Compared to regular final evolution Pokémon, it's really not lacking in anything.
Moreover, compared to Pokémon cultivated by ordinary people, Brionne's Origin Energy is significantly higher in Quality and Purity. Correspondingly, the Moves it uses are naturally much more powerful than those of ordinary Pokémon.
The reason Bai Feng lost to Flame Mask before was because Flame Mask was too strong. In reality, his few Pokémon's Strength is truly not weak.
The Hunter opposite was also startled by Brionne's Strength. He looked at Bai Feng, truly not knowing where such a little kid suddenly popped out from.
Toxicroak awkwardly climbed up from the Ground. Enduring the severe pain, it bared its teeth at Bai Feng and Brionne and took up a wary Stance.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering with me?" The Hunter questioned Bai Feng with a solemn Expression.
Bai Feng pointed to the Flabébé not far away and said, "I'm also interested in this group of Flabébé, so of course, I can't let you get them easily."
Upon hearing this, the Hunter immediately showed anger on his face. "Kid, don't covet Stuff you shouldn't have."
Hearing this, Bai Feng just smiled and didn't speak.
"Toxicroak, Poison Sting!"
Taking advantage of Bai Feng's inattention, the Hunter once again commanded Toxicroak to attack. But how could Bai Feng truly relax his guard? The Instant Toxicroak attacked, Brionne used Charm Voice again, shattering all the Poison Sting.
However, the Hunter was dishonorable. He actually took the opportunity to release a Muk and a Persian. Clearly, he saw how troublesome Brionne was, so he didn't underestimate Bai Feng just because he was young.
Bai Feng had been guarding against him all along. The Instant Muk and Persian appeared, he also took out a Poké Ball and released Talonflame Captain.
"Ya luo~"
As soon as Talonflame Captain appeared, it let out a long cry, its entire aura fully unleashed, causing the newly released Muk and Persian to pause in their movements.
Talonflame's Strength was considerably stronger than Brionne's. As soon as it appeared, it faced both Muk and Persian simultaneously, showing no fear.
Talonflame Captain's appearance made the Hunter's Expression turn much uglier instantly.
Muk's body trembled, and immediately clumps of foul-smelling Mud Ball shot out from it. The targets were not only Talonflame but also included Bai Feng and Brionne within the attack range.
This was the Poison-type Move Sludge Attack.
But Talonflame Captain showed no panic. Its body was huge. It spread its wings to their fullest extent, forming a special encirclement. Instantly, streaks of metallic light flashed on its wings.
This was the Steel Wing Skill.
Talonflame Captain fiercely flapped its wings, sweeping all the Mud Ball away. Also swept away was the Persian that had taken the opportunity to pounce.
"Meow!!!"
Persian cried out miserably as it was struck and sent flying, falling heavily onto the Ground and rolling several times. Its mournful wails were even a bit chilling to hear.
Talonflame Captain had put its full Strength into this Steel Wing attack. No wonder Persian cried out so miserably, especially since one of Talonflame Captain's wings had just sliced horizontally across Persian's soft abdomen, which is a very vulnerable spot.
On the other side, Brionne also performed well. Toxicroak was constantly suppressed under its pressure, but similarly, Brionne didn't gain much of an advantage either.
Seeing Talonflame Captain looking majestic while fighting two opponents, Brionne immediately felt unconvinced. It couldn't let other Pokémon perform better than itself in front of Bai Feng.
Its little head Had a brainwave, and it instantly had an idea.
After dodging Toxicroak's Drain Punch, it opened its mouth and spat out a blue orb towards the Sky. Immediately after, the Sky darkened, and a drizzling rain followed closely.
Having learned the Rain Dance Skill with Vaporeon for so long, it finally came in handy now!
Brionne controlled the rain's range very well, not affecting Talonflame Captain's battleground at all. It was just poor Bai Feng, who was relatively close to Brionne, and got completely drenched.
With the arrival of the rain, the humidity in the Air suddenly increased. Brionne then began to Sing Charm Voice. As the Singing Voice sounded, the Water vapor in the Air vibrated along with the Singing Voice. In that Instant, Toxicroak felt as if it was suddenly surrounded by countless enemies.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the Air vibrated more and more intensely, the Water vapor began to explode, especially around Toxicroak, where the explosions were particularly violent.
Finally, amidst the frequent explosions, Toxicroak's Stamina ran out, and it collapsed.
"Wait!" The Instant Toxicroak fell, the Hunter shouted, "These Flabébé are all yours! I give up!"
