Chapter 111: Chapter 111: It Turns Out That What Meng De Said Was True!
Just when everyone was still immersed in the joy of victory and completely unprepared, Snubbull suddenly leaped up like lightning and rushed directly toward the net that had trapped Buneary.
With incredible speed, he tore through the net with his teeth.
In an instant, the relatively sturdy net was reduced to shreds.
A brave servant, seeing this, raised his stick, preparing to strike Snubbull.
Unexpectedly, Snubbull suddenly leaped up and delivered a fierce flying kick, sending the man tumbling aside.
A dull "bang" echoed as the man was kicked away like a kite with a broken string, crashing directly into the mud nearby.
The remaining servants and slaves turned pale at the sight.
They hadn't expected this ferocious-looking little pink monster to be so powerful.
Their bodies trembled, their legs shaking uncontrollably. Though they still gripped their sticks and brooms tightly, their faces were filled with tension and panic.
"Don't be afraid!"
"Come on, we have numbers on our side! Can't we take them down together?"
"Don't back down! If you catch these Pokémon today, I will reward you handsomely!"
At this moment, Sima Fang was still unwilling to give up. He shouted at the top of his lungs, desperate to seize the opportunity.
How could he give up now, when victory seemed so close?
Although the servants and slaves had no idea what Pokémon were, the mention of a reward stirred their excitement once again.
At this time, not only Snubbull but even Buneary, who had just crawled out of the net, had completely lost its temper.
In a blur of motion, Buneary suddenly jumped up and kicked several servants and slaves in quick succession.
Although Buneary and Snubbull had short legs, their incredible strength seemed capable of breaking mountains and crushing rocks. Each kick was not to be underestimated.
Their sheer power shocked everyone in an instant.
Their mouths hung open.
Their legs went weak.
Cold sweat trickled down their faces.
It was as if they had witnessed something utterly terrifying.
Their previous confidence and greed for rewards vanished instantly, replaced by pure panic.
"I didn't expect such a cute rabbit to be this fierce when angry..."
"What kind of Pokémon is this? It's... unbelievable!"
The three-year-old Sima Yi and the twelve-year-old Sima Lang were both stunned.
It had to be said—silly but cute Pokémon always fascinated little boys the most.
Especially when they started fighting.
Wasn't this more exciting than watching people fight?
Sima Yi, watching the scene unfold, was deeply shocked.
But he wasn't frightened.
Though his face paled and his lips trembled slightly, his heart was pounding with excitement.
"So... Meng De was telling the truth?"
"Pokémon really are divine beasts?"
If they weren't divine, how could they be so magical?
How could such small creatures explode with such immense power?
Their combat abilities were no weaker than well-trained soldiers—perhaps even stronger.
It was now clear—capturing all three Pokémon today was unrealistic.
In that case…
Sima Fang's gaze shifted.
His eyes locked onto the blue-skinned turtle standing in the back—the only one yet to make a move.
If he couldn't capture all three, then at the very least, he had to get that one!
According to Meng De, this Pokémon could spray water and summon rain.
It was akin to a god.
If he could capture it…
They would never have to worry about droughts again!
At the mere thought, Sima Fang's heart pounded violently.
"If we can catch that little blue turtle, we'll never have to worry about droughts or water shortages again!"
"This Pokémon is a divine beast—Tuyu!"
Sima Fang dropped a bombshell.
Hearing his words, everyone turned to look at him in shock.
What did the master just say?
That little blue turtle can summon rain?
Is the master ill? Is he talking nonsense?
How could that little blue creature possibly pray for rain?
Rain was something controlled by the heavens, not a mere blue monster.
But… they couldn't completely dismiss his words.
After all, divine beasts did exist.
They had all seen it—that massive creature soaring through the sky a few days ago.
That day, they had all knelt and kowtowed to the divine beast and the immortal riding it.
So they believed in immortals and divine beasts.
But… no matter how they looked at it, this little blue turtle-like creature didn't seem capable of summoning rain.
Doubt filled their eyes.
"Go around behind it and attack from behind."
"Remember, you must not harm it!"
Sima Fang had no time to explain. He gave the order immediately.
After all, his knowledge of this blue turtle came entirely from Cao Mengde's letter.
Whether it was truly as powerful as described, he needed to witness it firsthand.
The servants hesitated but obeyed.
No matter what they believed, an order was an order.
Carefully, they began creeping closer to Squirtle from behind.
After all, if the first two Pokémon were so powerful, this blue-skinned turtle couldn't be weak either.
Just as they were about to pounce—
Squirtle turned around and unleashed a powerful stream of water.
The approaching men were blasted off their feet, crashing to the ground instantly.
Everyone watching was stunned.
What did they just see?!
That blue turtle… sprayed water?!
And not just water—a force strong enough to knock down several grown men in one hit!
Their eyes widened.
They all turned to Sima Fang.
Sima Fang himself was shocked to his core.
Oh shit.
Cao Mengde was right?!
This Squirtle really can spray water?!
Then… the ability to summon rain must also be real!
"This... this is a fortune!"
Sima Fang quickly composed himself, though his mind was in turmoil.
He coughed and spoke in a calm, authoritative tone:
"I told you already."
"This is a Pokémon—a divine beast that can summon rain."
"Quick, find a way to capture it!"
"But remember—do not harm it!"
Although he tried to remain calm, excitement surged through him.
At the same time, the young Sima Yi and Sima Lang stared at the little blue turtle, their eyes sparkling with awe.
While everyone was still dazed, the three Pokémon—Snubbull, Buneary, and Squirtle—turned around and bolted.
Seeing this, everyone snapped out of their trance and hurriedly gave chase.
