But this Sticky Ball did not make Kentauros weak; instead, it charged at Xiao Zhi even more furiously!
Xiao Zhi saw Kentauros charging over in a rage, and he quickly sidestepped, dodging Kentauros's charge with lightning speed. Xiao Zhi's movements were agile and swift, completely avoiding Kentauros's attack range.
Kentauros's charge did not stop; after rushing past Xiao Zhi, it turned its body, ready to attack again. However, Xiao Zhi had already quickly used the moment Kentauros turned to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
He quickly took a few steps, creating distance from Kentauros, and assumed a ready stance for the next response.
Xiao Zhi steadied his breathing, watching Kentauros, ready to dodge its attack again at any moment. He knew that only by dodging Kentauros's attacks could he find the next opportunity to counter.
Li Qingfeng, who was watching the show, also exclaimed in wonder: 'Holy moly, Xiao Zhi, you're amazing. Kentauros is super fast; being able to dodge it so many times, you're incredible.'
'No, not really, I don't know why my stamina is so strong. Enough talk, Kentauros is coming again.' Xiao Zhi smiled, then saw Kentauros running towards him again, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
As Kentauros charged, Xiao Zhi quickly slid sideways, avoiding Kentauros's attack.
However, Kentauros did not stop; it continued to pursue Xiao Zhi, ready to attack again.
Kentauros quickly approached, and Xiao Zhi nervously observed its movements. He quickly made a judgment, sliding sideways to dodge Kentauros's charge.
Kentauros's charge was extremely fierce, and Xiao Zhi felt a strong rush of air. He used all his strength to quickly evade Kentauros's attack, turning deftly to remain vigilant.
After successfully dodging Kentauros's attack, Xiao Zhi quickly took another Sticky Ball from his pocket, preparing to use this tactic again. He immediately threw the Sticky Ball, aiming at Kentauros.
Xiao Zhi's thrown Sticky Ball hit Kentauros, sticking to its body, making Kentauros's body and fur sticky. Kentauros felt its body heavy and difficult to move freely.
Kentauros panted heavily, clearly feeling exhausted, and the force of its various attacks significantly weakened. The effect of the Sticky Ball left Kentauros in a weakened state, unable to fully exert its strength.
Xiao Zhi seized the opportunity, nimbly leaping onto Kentauros's back. He sat steadily on Kentauros's back.
Then, Xiao Zhi tightly gripped Kentauros's fur, stabilizing his body, while using his agile movements to constantly adjust his posture and maintain balance.
Kentauros felt Xiao Zhi's presence and angrily began to rampage, trying to shake off the burden on its back. It quickly accelerated and made sudden turns, trying to make Xiao Zhi lose his balance.
Xiao Zhi immediately felt Kentauros's violent movements, but he was not discouraged, tightly gripping Kentauros's angle, and using Kentauros's movements to stabilize his body. His fingers hooked tightly into the fur, maintaining close contact.
Kentauros was not to be outdone; it twisted its body with all its might, trying to throw Xiao Zhi off. But Xiao Zhi held on firmly, his body pressed against Kentauros's back, stabilizing his posture.
Xiao Zhi again pulled out a Sticky Ball from his pocket, and amidst Kentauros's constant twisting movements, Xiao Zhi desperately seized the opportunity and threw the Sticky Ball.
This time, Xiao Zhi's throw hit the mark, and the Sticky Ball stuck to Kentauros's head. Kentauros felt its head suddenly become heavy, and its movements noticeably slowed. The stickiness of the Sticky Ball made it unable to easily shake it off.
Kentauros stopped, panting heavily. The Sticky Ball stuck to its head, making it feel unusually heavy and uncomfortable. Kentauros was clearly affected by the Sticky Ball, constantly shaking its head vigorously, trying to shake it off.
With each shake, Kentauros's gasps became more rapid. A hint of fatigue was revealed in its eyes. However, the stickiness of the Sticky Ball still firmly bound it, preventing Kentauros from breaking free.
While Kentauros was still bound by the Sticky Ball, Xiao Zhi quickly took a Poké Ball from his pocket.
Xiao Zhi had full confidence that this was the best time to capture Kentauros. He skillfully threw the Poké Ball, aiming precisely at Kentauros's back.
The Poké Ball landed on Kentauros, emitting a bright Flash. The ball quickly closed, completely engulfing Kentauros.
Back attack! Perfect!
As Kentauros entered the ball, Xiao Zhi also fell from above, but thanks to Gengar's help, he didn't fall flat on his face.
"Thank you, Gengar." Xiao Zhi thanked Gengar.
Then he released the captured Kentauros and the Pokémon he was carrying.
Now he was carrying (excluding Pikachu) Pidgeotto, the three starter Pokémon, Gengar, Dragonair, Monferno, and Kingler.
As for Venomoth and Muk, he had already sent them back when he went to the Pokémon Center.
After all, our Old Ba said he missed his wife, so he couldn't keep them with him. Da Mu also missed Muk, and seeing this, Xiao Zhi sent them back.
Pidgeotto looked around curiously. Come to think of it, when was the last time it appeared (its name was mentioned)?
It seems it was in chapter 63 (sad)
Lame Trainer! (not)
Dragonair: I was in chapter 59.
Kingler: Don't even mention it, I only just got some screentime recently!
"Hum." (Can I ask you for a favor?)
Kentauros walked over, impressed by Xiao Zhi's strength. However, it still had a small request.
Xiao Zhi touched his hair and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hum." (We are an entire tribe. After I'm captured, they'll have to choose a new leader.)
(But their strength is still a bit weak, and I'm afraid they'll be bullied by other Pokémon here. So, can you capture all of them?)
Xiao Zhi heard Kentauros's words and looked at the remaining Kentauros. Excluding the leader, there were 29 of them. (In the original work, Xiao Gang also captured a Kentauros; here, we'll assume that Kentauros ran off first and was later captured by Xiao Gang.)
He happened to have 29 Poké Balls left, and Xiao Zhi nodded: "Okay, then let your tribe come together."
So, these 29 Kentauros entered Xiao Zhi's Poké Balls one by one. With the help of the Pokédex, Xiao Zhi transmitted all these Poké Balls to Professor Oak's Laboratory.
"Woo." (I sense the aura of my kind~)
Dragonair cried out, and Xiao Zhi was somewhat surprised to hear it, not expecting Dragonair to be able to sense the presence of its kind.
