Poipole’s appearance leaned slightly towards a humanoid shape—or more like a small child with an oversized head.
Atop its head were three tubular poison needles, with the middle one slightly larger than the other two.
In the animated series, Poipole could flip itself upside down and use its needles to doodle on walls or the ground.
It had relatively short arms, a long tail, oval-shaped eyes, and a tiny tail-like appendage.
True to its na, which contained the word "poison," Poipole was a Poison-type Pokemon.
Its head was filled with venom, which it could shoot from the tips of its needles.
In the Pokemon world’s lore, it was known as a friendly Ultra Beast from another dinsion—even capable of being chosen as a travel companion.
It would spray venom from its head needles at opponents while giggling mischievously.
Poipole was an emotionally expressive Pokemon and it was said that with prolonged contact, it could even learn to understand human speech.
In the original work, Ash had a Poipole and their daily interactions showcased Poipole’s adorable nature.
Back when Akira was watching Pokemon Sun and Moon, he also wished to have such a cute Poipole.
Now, that dream has co true in the world of Hunter x Hunter.
However, Akira was sowhat surprised that an Ultra Beast could be born in this Purple Forest.
Although the recently appeared ’Purple Bees’ resembled Poipole’s evolved form, Naganadel, Akira still didn’t believe it could be an Ultra Beast.
After all, the first Ultra Beast he obtained and also his first Ultra Beast overall, was Nihilego, which had been born in the Navigation Hall.
After establishing a Restriction and Vow, Poipole’s information was freshly revealed to him.
Na: Poipole
Ability: Beast Boost
Type: Poison
Strength: B- rank
Moves: Toxic, Fell Stinger, Nasty Plot, Venoshock...
With a base stat total of 420, Akira wasn’t shocked by the displayed B- rank strength.
After all, Poipole wasn’t in its final form yet and Akira hadn’t expected it to be particularly strong.
It could serve as a mascot by his side, mainly fulfilling his childhood wish.
That was Akira’s thought just a mont ago.
The next mont, Poipole sent him a ssage filled with an urgent desire to eat.
A flicker of surprise crossed Akira’s mind before he promptly released Poipole.
A soft white light flashed, and Poipole, whose appearance resembled that of an alien child, appeared before Akira.
Its pale blue eyes curved slightly as it flew around Akira, as if playing with him.
Despite lacking wings, Poipole could still freely hover in the air.
Those nearby noticed the fluctuation of aura and glanced toward Akira, only to see a small figure hovering around him.
Recognizing it as Akira’s Nen beast, they quickly returned their attention to gathering supplies.
Only a few noticed that sothing was off about Akira’s Nen beast.
Upon appearing, Poipole emitted a soft white glow while subtly drawing in the surrounding air.
But it wasn’t just air—it was primarily the toxic elents within it!
Was it absorbing the poison from the purple light?
Watching Poipole float in the air, Akira imdiately understood the source of its desire.
Poipole’s lore stated that its body was filled with venom, but in this world, it had gained the ability to absorb poisons into itself.
At the sa ti, as Poipole absorbed the poison, its experience points steadily increased.
Perhaps due to the extraordinary nature of the Dark Continent’s poisons, Poipole’s experience gain was remarkably fast.
In just half a minute, Poipole broke through from B- rank to B rank and continued to rise.
This rapid progression left countless people in awe.
"Ii?"
Poipole seed to be thoroughly enjoying itself and Akira could clearly sense its satisfaction.
It appeared to find the poisons in this Purple Forest quite delectable.
Poipole’s absorption was a passive ability—it could move freely while absorbing.
Moreover, it didn’t need to "eat" by opening its mouth.
The poisons were drawn in through aura, adhering to Poipole’s body before being absorbed.
The Purple Forest had no shortage of poisons, with its purple leaves constantly releasing poison.
All of this would serve as nourishnt for Poipole’s continuous growth!
"Ii."
Poipole flipped its body mid-air, landing upside down with the poison needle on its head planted firmly on the ground.
Then, using the needle like a pen, it began tracing lines across the soft earth.
Before long, a lifelike drawing appeared before Akira.
"It’s and my master, nya." owth scratched its head, gazing at the artwork on the ground with surprise.
Though drawing on the ground limited so finer details, nothing could obscure Poipole’s natural talent for art.
In the center stood Akira with a gentle smile, while at his feet stood owth beside him.
And floating near Akira’s left shoulder was Poipole itself, also wearing a joyful expression.
"Poipole is truly amazing."
Akira smiled knowingly and gently stroked Poipole’s cheek, making the latter beam even brighter.
Poipole’s skin had a tallic texture with a subtle sheen, yet it felt warm to the touch—unlike the cold indifference of lifeless tal.
"Mmm, you really are good at drawing, nya~"
owth crossed its arms and nodded with closed eyes, thoroughly impressed by Poipole’s artistic skills.
Noticing Akira petting Poipole, owth hastily interjected.
"Actually, owth can draw too! owth wants head pats too, nya~"
"Alright, alright."
Now Akira had both hands occupied—one rubbing Poipole, the other petting owth.
Though currently, Poipole’s texture felt better since owth was still wearing its Safety Suit, preventing direct contact with its soft fur.
He only released two Pokemons so far.
Akira had no doubt that if he summoned more, they’d all gaze at him with those big, watery eyes, begging for affection.
Wait—
Hadn’t he actually released more than one?
Realizing this, Akira glanced up at the tree canopy, where a small shadow perched on a branch.
It had been watching him a mont ago but quickly averted its gaze the instant Akira looked up, as if deliberately pretending it hadn’t been observing or craving attention.
"Co down. Let pet you too."
Akira chuckled at Decidueye’s amusingly transparent act.
At his words, the shadowy figure twitched slightly before springing into action.
From its perch, Decidueye swiftly rged into the shadows—only to erge an instant later from Akira’s own silhouette, reverting to its normal form.
Like a dashing yet endearing avian, it spread its wings joyfully and hugged Akira.
Akira gently placed both hands on Decidueye’s head.
The first sensation was softness, followed by warmth.
Unlike the delicate lightness typical of small birds, Decidueye’s head felt solid and cozy.
It seed every Starter shared this trait—their initial forms were irresistibly cute.
Akira thought Rowlet, Decidueye’s first stage, ranked among the most adorable of all Starters.
Fortunately, while its final evolution lost so cuteness, it gained a striking appearance—at least it didn’t end up looking like, say, Venusaur.
