Ability: Shed Skin

Burmy's plant cloak had been removed; now it was just a bare bug body. It was unknown what it would be like if it evolved into Wormadam in this form.
[Loot Acquired]
[Exp. Candy S] [TM: Protect] [Binding Band]
[Binding Band]
[A band that supports Bind-type moves. When held by a Pokémon, the power of Bind moves increases.]
A TM for Protect! This is a highly versatile divine move. The most suitable recipients are undoubtedly Oshawott and Chimchar.
Xu Li thought for a moment and decided to give it to Oshawott; Chimchar still needed to practice U-turn.
Xu Li intended to be as fair as possible.
The energy cubes would be given to Growlithe to eat. Growlithe was also nearing its evolution.
And a Binding Band? Assists Bind-type moves?
Xu Li found that none of his Pokémon seemed to have Bind-like moves, but looking at the tough yet flexible rope in his hand, Xu Li still put it away, thinking it might have other uses.
Walking on Mount Coronet, two or three Stantler ran past, disappearing from Xu Li's sight two minutes after running past him.
Xu Li then looked at the distance he had covered, barely half the journey despite rushing day and night, and couldn't help but think.
How wonderful it would be to have mounts like Wyrdeer, Basculegion, Braviary, or even Koraidon and Miraidon from the game.
Thinking this, Xu Li stroked the Growlithe by his side, eliciting a confused Growl from the Growlithe.
"Meowga?"
After Growlithe evolves into Arcanine, he might be able to try riding it, but Growlithe is better at short bursts of speed, and long-distance travel would be too much for him.
Speaking of mounts, Xu Li remembered the Shinny Ponyta that escaped. Being able to get away unscathed from Xu Li's sneak attack perfectly met Xu Li's requirements for a land mount.
After evolving into Rapidash, how cool would its grayish-white flames be? If only he could encounter it again.
As he thought this, meowth's lucky coin on Xu Li's chest suddenly fell off. Xu Li reacted, trying to catch it.
But he missed, watching meowth's lucky coin roll to the side of the path and fall down the slope.
"No way?"
Is this a hint? Xu Li thought of the special effect of meowth's lucky coin and quickly went back to the bottom of the slope.
"Pony~~"
He arrived at the bottom of the slope, where there was a deep pit. From afar, he heard a pitiful cry coming from within.
"Pony~~"
Hearing Xu Li's footsteps on the grass, the cries from the pit seemed to grow louder.
Xu Li looked down. The pit was at least two meters deep, and at the bottom was none other than the Shinny Ponyta Xu Li had just been thinking about.
Next to it was a shimmering golden spot, which was the meowth's lucky coin that had just fallen.
Ah? Is it really that magical? Xu Li blinked and first comforted the Ponyta:
"We'll get you out, don't panic."
Then he looked at the Ponyta in the hole, feeling troubled. None of Xu Li's Pokémon could pull the Ponyta out of the hole.
He could only release Chimchar and Axew, saying:
"Try to get to the bottom of the hole and lift the Ponyta out, don't force it."
"Boji~"
"Axew~"
Chimchar and Axew nodded, jumping into the pit together, trying to lift the Ponyta out.
However, the sides of the pit were almost vertical. Not only was it difficult for Chimchar and Axew to lift the Ponyta out, but they also caused the Ponyta to bump around, letting out cries of pain.
"Axew~ Axew"
Axew remembered something and pointed at Xu Li's Poké Ball, reminding him.
"That's right."
Xu Li slapped his Head. How could he not have thought of that?
He had used this method to move Spheal in the Cobalt Coastlands, and now, after living in Hisui for almost two months, he had forgotten it.
He told Axew and Chimchar to come up first. Xu Li took out a Poké Ball and, telling the Shinny Ponyta not to resist, threw the Poké Ball.
The Poké Ball shook a few times, taking the Shinny Ponyta inside. Xu Li then released the Shinny Ponyta onto the ground.
"Pony~~~"
The released Shinny Ponyta let out a joyful cheer of being rescued, tried to stand up, but stumbled and fell.
The Ponyta, realizing he couldn't stand, seemed disheartened, and the blue flames on his body flickered erratically.
Xu Li then noticed a clear abrasion on the Ponyta's left thigh, likely caused by falling into the pit. No wonder Axew and the others had caused him pain with just a slight bump when they tried to lift him.
Xu Li took out a Potion to apply to the Ponyta, but at that moment, the Ponyta saw the Growlithe beside Xu Li and recognized him as the Pokémon that had ambushed and chased him a few days ago.
The flames on his body immediately flared up, and Xu Li's hand, which was trying to treat the Ponyta, got burned.
"Woah!"
Xu Li quickly pulled his hand back. Axew, Growlithe, and Chimchar, who had been released nearby, immediately changed their expressions, wanting to teach this ungrateful fellow a lesson.
"No, no, no, wait a moment."
Xu Li stopped his Pokémon, as he had been the one to ambush first.
"Ponyta, we did attack you before, but we meant no harm."
"Look, we've rescued you now. We just want you to become our companion."
"Lower your flames. After all, if we wanted to do anything to you now, you couldn't resist. Let me treat your injuries first."
"Pony~"
The Ponyta listened to Xu Li's words, standing stay ly in place. Soon after, he quietly lowered his flames, seemingly accepting Xu Li's explanation.
Xu Li immediately felt the heat diminish. He reached out to touch the Ponyta's flames and found that even direct contact with the flames didn't burn him; instead, it felt warm.
He had heard that people who had the Ponyta's consent wouldn't feel burned when touching its burning mane, and it seemed to be true.
"Pony~"
Xu Li carefully applied the Potion to the Ponyta. The Ponyta felt the healing sensation from his injury and was barely able to walk, thanking Xu Li.
"How did you fall into this pit? I mean, this pit is quite obvious."
"Pony… Pony…"
Hearing Xu Li ask this question, the Shinny Ponyta's eyes immediately dimmed.
Seeing the Ponyta's dejected expression, Xu Li scratched his Head and didn't press further, changing the subject:
"What about your kin? Ponyta usually run in herds, right?"
"Pony! Pony~~Pony~~~~"
The Shinny Ponyta's emotions changed even more dramatically upon hearing this question.
Ah, this question hit a nerve too. Seeing the Ponyta like this, Xu Li patted the Ponyta's body, comforting him:
"You can tell me anything. We're friends now, aren't we?"
"Pony~"
Perhaps the word
friends
moved the Ponyta, and he couldn't help but pour out his grievances to Xu Li.
This was a common story.
Since birth, the Ponyta had no one to care for him, and he was bullied because of the different color of his flames. He was often chased and bullied by other Ponyta, which was why he was so cautious.
He fell into this pit because he was being chased by his kin and wasn't paying attention. In the end, his kin left, leaving him to wail alone in the pit.
After silently listening to the Ponyta's story, Xu Li clapped his hands.
"Then come with us. Become our companion, leave this place with us, leave behind those kin who bullied you."
"We are companions and friends. Each of us is a unique individual, and we won't bully you for being different."
"Pony?"
The Shinny Ponyta ultimately went with Xu Li.
Before leaving, when Xu Li was retrieving meowth's lucky coin, he also discovered a hidden Galaxy Team emblem next to the pit.
He figured the pit was dug by the Galaxy Team, and without the guidance of meowth's lucky coin, the Shinny Ponyta might have been caught by an Investigation Team member.
