The flames roared and raged in the forest, the roar of the flames, the sound of the trees being burned, the Pokémon's panicked footsteps and wails were endless.
The Pokémon each used their own tricks to block the spread of the flames, but in the end, it was just a drop in the bucket, and the flames continued to move forward without diminishing in the slightest.
The crowd behind Rope and the Pokémon were all looking at Rope with stunned eyes...
Entei was fine, he could do such damage. But the next ability that Rope displayed made him marvel at himself.
Only to see Rope's right hand raised, and then gently downward pressure, and then saw this in the forest quickly devouring the entire forest of the flames like being strangled by the throat of the small beast general stagnation, and then soon as if by an invisible hand pressed the same rapid shrinkage, and finally extinguished.
The flames went out quickly.
Rope had always kept the scope of the flames confined to what he could fully control. So the seemingly furious fire was controlled in just a split second. The rushing and roaring flames were quickly suppressed and disappeared almost instantly.
It was as if it was just an illusion.
And the scorched black forest and the residual heat spoke of how fierce and terrifying the flames that had just appeared here were.
But at this point...it no longer existed...
It took less than 2 minutes from the time the flames rose to the time they were extinguished, and although the damage done was not insignificant, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a flash in the pan.
Seeing the fire suppressed, Rope was also relieved, after all, to be honest, he did not expect the flames to spread so quickly, if the flames were allowed to burn for a little while longer, it would have been too much to bear...
But fortunately... everything was within the plan!
Pretend it was a great success!
Rope tucked his hands into his pants pockets with a scornful smile on his face.
"Is this your leader? Not a slow runner in the face of flames..."
Rope turns his head and looks at Nidoking with a smirk.
Nidoking: ...
It's normal to run away alright!
You're the only one who's not normal here!
What kind of human are you!
Nidoking had a stomach full of vomit, but looking at the red-colored flame on Rope's shoulder that wasn't extinguished, Nidoking nodded, smiled, and said, "Nido(Yes!)!!"
The corners of Rope's mouth twitched, and he couldn't say anything else, just silently looked in the same direction Kangaskhan had just charged.
Whitley walked up and tugged on Rope's sleeve, saying with a bit of worry, "Rope... in the flames just now... was there a Pokémon..."
Rope smiled and touched Whitley's head and said, "How could I do that?"
With that, she pointed in the direction of the dark woods.
As if sensing Rope's attention, on the branch, a Caterpie came out from the dead center of the tree's view, still having the same greenish look as always, looking at Rope pointing at him from afar, the Caterpie was so scared that it fell from the branch, then quickly rolled over and ran away in the other direction, looking at the action without any problem at all.
All the while there was a constant rustling in the already charred woods as Pokémon after Pokémon saved themselves from their respective hiding places and then scattered in all directions.
Whitley also breathed a sigh of relief, seriously if Rope had really killed a lot of Pokémon with that punch, then she really didn't know how to face Rope... she knew that she had always treated Pokémon as her best friends, and even her own Pokémon were her family! ...
But isn't Rope an important person? Of course it is, so if there's any conflict between the two, it's definitely Whitley who's going to have the hardest time, and that's not to say that she's going to ignore Rope if she clashes with Pokémon or anything, of course.
It's just that Whitley can't accept Rope killing innocent Pokémon, and if it's Pokémon that have done bad things then naturally they should be taught a lesson or even killed.
Whitley was no pedantic saint. Or even, after hanging out with Rope for a long time, she will inevitably get closer to Rope's way of thinking, not to kill a boatload of people with a single shot.
Not everyone has a perfectly valid reason to bully others, and that's a necessary quality for a completely neutral person.
And Rope positions himself and Whitley, and even Supermoon, for this.
Those who mediated between Pokémon and humans had to do so in a way that didn't favor either side overall.
"Thump... thump..."
Heavy footsteps sounded in the ears of Rope and Whitley and Entei and Nidoking.
Nidoking had a complicated look on his face, unsure of what expression to make.
Entei's eyes narrowed slightly and he let out a low growl.
Whitley had a surprised look in his eyes.
Rope raised an eyebrow then gave an appreciative smile.
He pushed Whitley back gently and Entei opened his mouth to bite the corner of Whitley's shirt, pulling her gently behind him.
Footsteps continued to approach and soon a Kangaskhan came into their sight.
Kangaskhan's steps were heavy, and there were some burn marks on his body. Although Rope had controlled the flames not to harm the Pokémon, there were still some panicked Pokémon who touched the flames either actively or unintentionally, which was fine for a moment... but for a longer period of time, they were bound to have severe burns.
It was obvious that this Kangaskhan had chosen to withdraw or dodge the moment she touched the flames, otherwise, with Rope's flame temperature, at least those burns wouldn't have been just burns...
Kangaskhan's eyes were wary, confused, bewildered, and fearful, but she still came. The little Kangaskhan in the pocket in front of her stomach quietly peeked out from her mom's pocket and then gave Rope a wary look.
Rope gave a kind smile towards the little Kangaskhan who peeked out.
So little Kangaskhan quickly ducked back into the bag like a gopher that got hit on the head...
The corner of Rope's mouth twitched, she might have really just pushed too hard...and scared the kid.
But soon Rope recovered, he looked at Kangaskhan who approached step by step tentatively and smiled, "Now we can have a good chat... Kangaskhan."
Kangaskhan: mmp.
If you want to chat a little while later I'll go to you to chat! You have nothing better to do than to start a fire!
Kangaskhan in his heart, but also do not dare to say anything else... In case the guy in front of him again hand, so close to the distance, if he does not leave his hand, then he must not...
This is really no doubt...
Although do not know that the flames exactly what flames, but the power of the flames Nidoking also... Although I don't know what kind of flame it is, the power of the flame Nidoking has also seen. If he hadn't felt the same kind of heat as the flames just now, Kangaskhan wouldn't have thought that the fire was set by this human.
After all, there was still an Entei, one of the Three Legendary Beasts, by his side.
Although the strength of this Entei didn't seem particularly strong. Although this Entei's strength didn't seem particularly strong, if he really had to fight with Entei, Kangaskhan wouldn't dare to say that he would win. After all, who knew what kind of killer weapon a divine beast that had lived for such a long time would have.
But this smiling human in front of her, Kangaskhan couldn't understand it at all... You say it's a Pokémon... but the human aura on this person in front of her was incomparably real and natural. She had lived somewhere before, and she would never forget a human's scent.
But you're going to say he's a human, right...have you ever seen one like this? When you swing your fist, everything burns, and when you press your palm, the fire goes out and the smoke disperses. Where is this a human being! If you say it's Kangaskhan, the God of Fire...
But the God of Fire is the same level as Entei, one of the Three Legendary Beasts, and is also a bird-type Pokémon, plus according to his knowledge, Moltres, the God of Fire, lives in the Orange Islands. So easily wouldn't appear here, right...
It's kind of a bummer to be faced with a human and have to carefully guess if the other person is human or not.
Wouldn't the easiest way to determine this be to ask them to their face? Regardless of whether or not the other party was expecting something, at least they had gotten an answer. A wrong answer was also better than being suffocated by doubts.
After all, the wrong answer at least shows that you do intend to struggle to answer the question, which is better than not answering it and letting the doubt question you anyway.
"Roar!"
Kangaskhan stops ten meters from Rope and roars.
The ten meters wasn't so much a defense against Rope's sneak attack as it was a demonstration of his sincerity to Rope. I'm talking to you from ten meters away, so you can react in time in case I'm going to pull some kind of surprise attack...
Then he patted his brood pouch again, signaling for little Kangaskhan to come out of the brood pouch.
Little Kangaskhan reluctantly crawled out of his mother's nursery bag, and then hid behind her, popping his head out to look at Rope.
The child was in a sense Kangaskhan's life, and for Kangaskhan to let the child out, that would be the utmost sincerity. After all, in Kangaskhan's mindset, there was no better place to give her child a sense of security than her nursery bag.
Rope looked quite moved as well, Professor Oak had a very strong Kangaskhan... quite a bit stronger than this one, it was a proper Champion Kangaskhan and one of Professor Oak's ace Pokémon.
Rope, who's had a lot of dealings with Kangaskhan since he came to this world, has a natural affinity for Kangaskhan. After all, Kangaskhan went the way of the competent mother.
After coming to this world, he had never seen his mother again, so he was naturally attracted to the Pokémon with such a good mother image.
As for the unceremonious Flame Fist?
If it was so unceremonious, then how did this Kangaskhan get the chance to come up and ask questions?
Rope's going to take out a Kangaskhan with a single swipe of his hand.
"She's asking if you're human or not, loto!"
Rotom, who had just been startled by Rope, was in a rare position not to skin a wave with an emoji. Seriously, Rotom also really didn't know that Rope's strength was actually this strong. Ever since Rope's flames changed color, he had been unable to observe the energy level within Rope's body because once his scanning was activated, it was as if the light he used to scan had been ignited by something. It wouldn't return any valid data at all.
It had startled Rotom at first. If Rope's flames could block the scanning of superpowers or even ignite them, Rotom could barely understand it, after all, both were energies that canceled each other out no problem.
And Rotom's scans can't have much to do with Pokémon's energy. Something like that could be ignited by Rope's flame, so what exactly Rope's flame was was highly debatable.
Eventually though, Rope gave a barely acceptable explanation.
It wasn't that the only data that came back was that of being burned, but that of Rope herself becoming a flame. So of course Rotom's detection would only detect flames.
Of course, Rope said so, Rotom heard so, and essentially what was really going on... who knew?
At least Rotom was too lazy to look into it. After all, he was just Rope's assistant, not someone who came over to study Rope.
"Of course I'm... supposed to be... I think I'm human..."
Rope took a deep breath, then said...
The tone of his voice was hopeless...
Kangaskhan: ...
There are idiots here who don't know what the hell they are...
Emmm, crazy people maybe...
But Kangaskhan didn't bother to dig deeper at this point.
"Roar!"
"What in the world have you come here for... an emissary of the Ho-Oh has appeared at your side... is this a request from the Ho-Oh to destroy us? What is our fault? Loto!"
Rotom looked at Kangaskhan, who was filled with grief and resentment, and translated rather helplessly.
Thinking about it this way both parties seemed to be in the wrong, and Rope was clearly the one who was more in the wrong...
After all, people were still stuck on the level of intimidation, and Rope's side had already made a move...
Rope was also reacting to this, but he wasn't embarrassed about it, it was good to take precautionary measures, better than mending a sheep's leg than a sheep's leg. You know, some losses can't be undone once they happen.
No amount of searching could do more than catch up...
Rope didn't want to make himself regret it, so making someone else regret it became pretty much the only option.
"I'm just here to ask you about the basics of the Safari Zone you were living in, and I'd like to ask you to find enough Pokémon like you to talk to me about their experiences so that I'll have enough evidence and material to report to the Alliance to demand that the Safari Zone be overhauled."
Rope pointed to Nidoking, "This guy brought me here. But I didn't expect you to come out with the momentum of a thousand armies closing in on Gaijin. So I thought of striking first and did it."
Kangaskhan sniffed and gave Nidoking a vicious look, as if he was saying, "You're the one who lured the ghosts here!"
Nidoking snapped and lowered his head...he didn't know that this human was so strong...not to mention such a strong human, he had never even seen such a strong Pokémon...
After all, the ceiling of battle power he had seen was that Kangaskhan over there, who looked like a Fleshtan bound body.
Kangaskhan didn't devote much attention to Nidoking.
She was caught by Rope's words... were there humans that wanted to improve the living conditions of their mates in that place?
She thought of the mates she played with as a child, and the humans who were either friendly or vicious.
Kangaskhan nodded, then growled.
"She said she would help you, loto! But before that would like you to promise not to hurt everyone in this forest anymore. Loto."
Rope shrugged, "It's not like I'm some kind of devil..."
[No, maybe you are...] *4
