Chapter 688: Brawl
Wigglytuff wasn't particularly strong, and dealing with the agile Purrloin was proving to be a challenge.
Seeing Wigglytuff being bullied by Purrloin, Chatot couldn't stand it any longer and flew down from its nest.
In fact, Chatot wasn't very fond of the Purrloin family because it still remembered the time when Purrloin had stolen its Ice Cream back in Castelia City.
Besides, cats and birds were natural rivals, making it challenging for them to get along.
As Purrloin was making faces at Wigglytuff, there was suddenly an explosion beside it.
A shockwave knocked Purrloin off its feet, and its cheerful demeanor came to a halt.
It turned out that Chatot had used Hyper Voice on Purrloin.
However, Chatot didn't intend to harm Purrloin, so the Hyper Voice didn't actually hit Purrloin; it only caused an explosion around it.
Purrloin's head was left spinning from the soundwaves. It shook its head and got up from the ground, only to see a pair of bird talons descending from above.
Chatot grabbed Purrloin by the back of its neck with its talons and flew into the air. Startled, Purrloin suddenly shed its disguise and revealed itself as a Zorua.
It turns out that it was Purrloin's sister, Zorua, who had lured Wigglytuff away, while Purrloin escaped with the Sharp Beak.
Chatot, holding Zorua, came over to Wigglytuff and inquired about what had happened.
When Chatot learned that Yuga had prepared a Sharp Beak as a gift for it, it was initially very happy. However, upon finding out that the Sharp Beak had been swindled by Purrloin and Zorua, Chatot's face contorted in anger.
This was unacceptable!
Just as Chatot was about to question Zorua, a yellow beam of light shot over from somewhere, and Chatot instinctively let go of Zorua, dodging the yellow beam.
By the time Chatot realized what happened, there was no sign of Zorua around!
Chatot turned its head and saw that Persian and three Delcatty were provocatively staring at it, with Zorua standing among them.
The yellow beam of light had come from Persian's Power Gem.
Persian, along with its three Delcatty, were generally disliked in the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, but there was one exception - the Purrloin and Zorua family.
You see, Persian and his wife got along quite well with Purrloin, Zorua, and their family. They all had a penchant for pranks, and the young Purrloin and Zorua especially got along splendidly.
Despite Persian's strength is not good, he was quite loyal. When he saw that Zorua was in trouble, he immediately took his wives and came to help.
Persian gave Chatot a mischievous smile and, along with his wives and Zorua, turned and fled.
Persian knew he couldn't compete with Chatot in a direct confrontation, so he made a quick escape.
Chatot, incensed by Persian's provocation, exploded in anger and chased after them.
Left behind, Wigglytuff looked bewildered. "They all ran away... What should I do now? Is my mission considered complete?"
On the other side,
With Zorua leading Wigglytuff away, Purrloin was happily planning to return home with the newly acquired Sharp Beak.
Purrloin didn't have a strong liking for Wigglytuff's Sharp Beak; it was just its natural instinct at play, and it simply couldn't resist swiping something shiny.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be called "Purrloin."
(Note: Purrloin chinese name is Picpocket Cat)
However, the Sharp Beak produced by Yuga's system was indeed of high quality, with a shiny, golden hue. It even emitted a noticeable aura of Flying-type energy.
In short, the appearance of this Sharp Beak was top-notch, especially with the distinct Flying-type energy emanating from it.
Just as Purrloin was walking home, admiring its spoils, a dark figure descended from the sky and snatched the Sharp Beak from its hand with a swift claw.
Purrloin looked up and saw three Honchkrow, each with a smug expression, and they let out a strange "caw" of laughter.
Murkrow and the Honchkrow were Pokémon that naturally liked shiny things.
These three Honchkrow spotted the shiny Sharp Beak in Purrloin's hand while in the sky, and they couldn't resist, so they decided to snatch it.
Shiny and glimmering with a distinct Flying-type energy aura, the Honchkrow felt that this item was destined for them.
Purrloin became furious. It had always been the one to bully others, and it couldn't accept being bullied itself. Without a second thought, it unleashed three waves of Dark Pulses.
Despite Purrloin's small size and not having reached its final evolution stage, it was quite powerful. Among its family of four, it was the strongest, even stronger than its mother, Zoroark.
One of the Honchkrow was instantly hit by Purrloin's Dark Pulse and let out a painful cry.
Seeing their comrade injured, the other two Honchkrow couldn't just stand by. They immediately launched an attack on Purrloin.
Although Purrloin was strong, the Honchkrow were no pushovers, especially in a three-on-one situation.
Purrloin quickly found itself at a disadvantage.
At this point, Purrloin wasn't far from home.
Liepard and Zoroark, who were resting at home, heard the commotion and immediately came out to see what was happening.
As soon as they saw their eldest daughter being bullied, they couldn't stand it. Without a word, they joined the battle.
Now the battle had turned into a three-on-three.
The average strength of the three Honchkrow was not as high as Purrloin's, but Liepard and Zorua were slightly weaker than the Honchkrow, making it an even match for the moment.
Just then, Persian arrived with his Delcatty and Zorua, followed closely by the relentless Chatot.
Seeing their friends in a brawl, Persian had no reason not to join. He charged towards the battlefield, followed by the three Delcatty and Zorua.
Now, with Persian and his wives joining in, the situation became even more chaotic.
Purrloin's family was initially delighted to see their good friends, Persian and his wives, coming to their aid.
However, their happiness didn't last long because at this moment, Chatot also arrived at the battlefield.
Although the Purrloin family and the Persian family were the "Bullies" of the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, Chatot was too! Usually, the Purrloin family tried to avoid Chatot as much as possible. In the Grassland Sub-Ecopark, everyone knew Chatot was a bit of a scatterbrain, not to mention a powerful one at that.
Now, thanks to a Sharp Beak, these two normally separate groups found themselves gathered together.
