The "Water Source" of the City of Silicon-Beryllium.

Chapter 353 The "Water Source" of the City of Silicon-Beryllium.

"They're in trouble??"

Just as Mirei's scream rang out, Higana, who was angrily observing everything in Silicon Beryllium City, paused for a moment before realizing what was happening. But before they could even get there, a chaotic commotion ensued.

Interspersed among them were Ibrahimovic's cries of pain.

"There must have been a lot of Pokémon ganging up on them, and they couldn't handle it. That's why Milly screamed, trying to warn us," Zeju said. "Let's go."

The commotion occurred in an inconspicuous corner of Silicon Beryllium City. Perhaps the mayor had dispersed the surrounding residents beforehand, because even with such a commotion, they didn't encounter a single resident joining in the fun on their way there.

By the time they arrived, the battle between Leomire and the mayor had already ended, and the situation was quite clear.

"I only used a little trick to lure you two from the capture team into my trap. Hehehe..."

"You wanton and evil thieving gang! While I was away on business, you caused horrific suffering to the good residents of Silicon Beryllium City! All their precious Pokémon were stolen, and they can only spend their days in tears! Such heinous acts deserve to be locked up in the dark and hopeless prison of Orei! Hehehehe!"

The mayor who was speaking was short and stocky with a thick belly that almost burst his suit.

It is said that his name is Barclay.

He was surrounded by dozens of people dressed in black, each releasing a number of Pokémon, who looked at Leo and Mille as they slowly retreated after both Eevee were defeated with indifferent and ruthless eyes.

"Bullshit!" Mirei glared at the fat-headed Barclay, her voice sharp and stern. "You know perfectly well why we stole their Pokémon! And you're the ringleader, the one who colluded with them! Dark Pokémon... that's the most filthy word Orei has ever used!"

"The Shadow Organization, created from Pokémon that were treated as machines and tools, their minds completely erased, is even more..."

'

The battle had already caused quite a stir, and Mirei wanted to tell the whole truth about the Dark Pokémon. Even if she couldn't wake up Barclay's minions, she could at least let the residents who had come to watch the commotion know the truth.

But halfway through her sentence, Mirei realized that there was no one else around except for Barclay and his men.

Strange! According to the investigation, isn't this Barclay supposed to call on all the residents of Silicon Beryllium City to cheer for "the great mayor" and make them even more fanatical about him?

But why didn't they call the residents when they planned to arrest them this time?!

"Hehehe..." Barclay chuckled gently, his words carrying a hint of threat. "Girls from the raiding party, don't go around saying bad things. But even if you don't, no one here will know because I've already driven away the residents around here. Even if someone hears your shouts, they won't disobey my orders and come to join the fun."

"They'll only find out afterward: the great mayor has once again dealt with two criminals lurking in Silicium City, protecting their Pokémon from being stolen by the evil thieves."

Mirei's eyes widened: "Damn it!"

Barclay already knew they knew the truth, so naturally he wouldn't let the residents come and worship him.

In other words, this corner of the silicon-beryllium city is already a no-man's land.

"Alright, I know you're stalling for time, but I won't give you that chance." Barclay waved his hand, a smile on his face. "Arrest these two criminals from the raiding squad."

"Oh, right."

He then pointed to the dismantling device on Leo's right arm.

"When you arrest them, take this thing apart and give it to me."

"Leo, you go quickly! Go and get help from Ze... I'll stay here and hold them off!"

Mirei opened her eyes and saw Barclay's subordinates starting to move. Several powerful Pokémon, including Muk, Rattata, Kairos, and Scolipede, were closing in on them.

Even though Leo's two Eevee could hold off a few attacks, they couldn't withstand the combined assault of so many Pokémon. In particular, the Pinsir, with just one powerful X-Scissor attack, was enough to knock out Leo's otherwise resilient Umbreon.

-

Mirei knew she couldn't resist.

Choose to send Leo to ask Zeshu for help.

"I'm not leaving. You're the one who should leave," Leo said succinctly. "You're no match for me."

Mirei's eyes widened, and she exclaimed anxiously, "That's why I let you leave—because I'm not strong enough to fight!"

Barclay sneered, "None of you need to leave, and none of you can leave!"

"Indeed." Then another voice suddenly sounded behind Barclay, also addressed to Leo and Mirei, "Neither of you actually need to leave—although you could."

The sudden sound startled everyone present, especially Barclay; none of them had noticed anyone behind them. If this person hadn't spoken but instead launched an attack...

"Why don't you pay attention to your surroundings!"

As Barclay reprimanded his men, he turned around in surprise: "Who is it?!"

But all I heard was Ze Shu's words: "Your strength should have recovered somewhat, so why don't you take care of them—the same group that captured you, and get your revenge?"

Who is this person talking to? Whose strength has recovered somewhat?

Barclay's mind was filled with these questions.

But immediately.

"roar!!!"

Golden lightning bolts flashed like a tiger unleashed from its cage, and with a flash of white light, Haki Tiger Thunder appeared before Ze Shu. Then, with a "sizzle," it pounced and arrived at the center where Barkley and his men were.

"Varied....?!"

Barclay caught a glimpse of the Thunder God's appearance.

His face couldn't hide the shock on his expression.

But Lei Gong, who had already arrived in the crowd, immediately opened his tiger's mouth and roared again. Even though it was a scorching daytime with no clouds in the sky, a thick, straight bolt of lightning suddenly fell and exploded in the crowd with a "boom"!

This "thunder" almost completely wiped out Mayor Barclay and his men, but some of their Pokémon were spared.

This Haki tiger really knows how to achieve twice the result with half the effort by "capturing the king first".

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh! Stop them!!!"

The screams came out.

Their Pokémon dream is to stop Raikou.

But when Lei Gong kicked them with his tiger eyes through the lightning, they cowered and dared not move forward.

And behind these Pokémon.

"Leo, it's alright, we're alright..." Seeing Ze Shu appear, Mirei relaxed, her body slumping weakly into Leo's arms as he caught her. "I thought I'd never see my grandfather again!"

"Hmm." Leo used a Poké Ball to recall the two exhausted Eevee.

He only responded with a soft "hmm" to Mirei's words. But Mirei was used to Leo's taciturn nature; he was just quiet, not cold.

Noticing that his eyes were fixed on Lei Gong, who seemed like a tiger guarding the pass, Mi Lei paused for a moment, then said, "Impressive, isn't it!"

Leo: "Hmm!"

Mirei suddenly said, "Why don't you go and become Brother Zeshu's apprentice? Ask Brother Zeshu to teach you how to become more powerful!"

That way, if we encounter this situation again, we won't need Brother Ze Shu to come to our rescue!

Leo: "————"

Mirei snorted, "Leo, are you shy? Even if we can't become Brother Ze Shu's apprentices, we can still ask him..."

""

"roar!!!"

At this point, Raikou's sudden roar drowned out Mirei's voice. Leo couldn't hear what she was saying afterward; all he could see was the thunderous roar of the passing thunder, and his ears were filled with the screams of the Pokémon present.

"Uh, cough... Help... Help me..."

""

"roar!!!"

This time, Raikou unleashed his lightning with all his might, and in less than ten minutes, he had knocked all the people and Pokémon to the ground, unable to get up.

After enduring pain for a long time and finally getting off the "operating table," Lei Gong was beaten up by Ze Shu right after he had just anesthetized Na Borg. It was impossible for Lei Gong not to feel aggrieved.

Now finally able to release all his pent-up frustration, Lei Gong roared with unbridled joy, the stench emanating from his blood-red tiger mouth nearly making Barkley faint as he roared right in his face.

"Help... ugh... why does its mouth... vomit smell bad!"

Barclay tried to stretch out his obese body to avoid the thunder god's gaping maw.

But Ze Shu raised his foot and stepped on his chubby cheek, stomping his head, which he had just managed to prop up, into the ground, with a half-smile.

He said, "I heard your surprise. You... recognize the Thunder God, right?"

"Does that mean you also have a certain status in the shadows?"

Barclay's pupils contracted: "I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Don't understand? Then you're worthless." Ze Shu tilted his head, rubbing his shoe hard against the boy's head before decisively pulling his foot back. "Haki Tiger, devour him whole. Aren't you weak? This will give you some energy."

"roar?!"

Lei Gong was stunned for a moment after hearing Ze Shu's words.

Putting aside what "Haki Tiger" means, well, it's magnanimous and doesn't care!

But what the hell is this "cannibalism"?!

It, the mighty Phoenix King's guard, would never eat such a thing! Don't slander it!

Besides, even if Leigong wanted to eat people, he couldn't bring himself to eat such a fat, big-eared creature—it was all fat! Hagi Tiger didn't like it!

At that time, Lei was indignant.

Barclay, standing to the side, was filled with fear mixed with shock.

"what?"

He stared intently at Ze Shu, whose expression remained indifferent.

Is it going to eat me?!

No, I feel like you're even more evil than me! In our Shadow organization, if you don't become a "big boss," then we're not completely evil enough!

The pain from being trampled on his cheek told him that he dared not gamble, nor could he afford to gamble on Ze Shu's kindness.

He cannot die, dares not die, and does not want to die!

"I...I...know about the Shadows...I have value! Don't eat me!" Barclay cried out, his will to survive bursting forth.

"What a pity," Ze Shu sighed, then asked, "What value do you have?"

What exactly do you mean by sighing with regret?

Barclay cried out, "I...I'm not a member of Shadow, but...I'm working with Shadow!"

"Look at this! None of my Pokémon are Dark Pokémon, yet they're too scared to attack this tiger Pokémon. Doesn't that just prove my cooperation with Shadow Pokémon isn't deep enough?"

"So I'm not one of the Shadows! Don't eat me!"

"I can provide you with plenty of information! You have no reason to eat me!"

He kept repeating "Don't eat me," so he must be terrified.

Ze Shu: "Where is the Shadow Headquarters?"

Barclay panicked, "I...I don't know! I'm not one of Shadow's people! I only cooperate with Shadow!"

Ze Shu sighed and looked at Lei Gong: "This guy's useless. Maybe you should..."

Lei Gong was completely bewildered.

Barclay broke out in a cold sweat and cried out in panic, "Don't eat me! Don't eat me! I...I...I...I..." Just as he was in a panic, Ze Shu sighed again, "Then I have one more question. If you can't answer it, you'll still be eaten."

Barclay: "You say it!"

Ze Shu glanced at Lei Gong, then turned to Ba Ke Lei, raised a finger, pointed to the ground, and said with a smile, "The reason your water source in Silicon Beryllium City is so clean—can you take me to see the source of this cleanness?"

Barker gritted his teeth and said, "The source is a clear groundwater well that three generations of my family dug out for the city of Silicon Beryllium..."

Ze Shu interrupted coldly, "I know the source is a Pokémon, stop beating around the bush!"

Barclay: "Uh..."

His pupils dilated in shock as he stared blankly at Ze Shu.

"you...."

"What do you mean 'what do you mean'?! Ugh, this guy's still the same. Hagi Tiger, open your mouth and eat him up!"

"roar???"

"No, no, no, don't eat me! I'll take you there! I'll take you there!"

Similar to the Pyrite Arena in Pyrite Town, there is also a Silicon Beryllium Arena in Silicon Beryllium City. It is the most popular arena in all of Orei because clear and continuous water flows around the arena.

However, at the bottom of the arena, there is an underground passage.

Following Mayor Barclay, who was injured by the electric shock and was walking with a limp and unsteady limbs, we walked through the underground passage. The passage became narrower and darker, while the sound of the gurgling water grew louder.

But after walking several hundred steps, the view suddenly opened up.

"This... is the secret of the water source in Silurian City..."

97

-

This is a vast, circular underground space. A continuous stream of murky, foul-smelling, brownish-yellow water overflows from all sides, flowing into a central fountain-like structure.

What flows out next is crystal clear water.

"What I just said wasn't an excuse. My grandfather was determined to bring a continuous source of water to the arid Oure region. So, he led the people at the time to dig and dig, and successfully found a whole area of ​​abundant groundwater."

Barclay said, clenching his fist.

"But the groundwater there was extremely polluted."

"No! Not 'that area'!"

"It's more like the stinginess of the creator god; the Ore region seems to be cursed, as the groundwater throughout the entire Ore region is filthy—we Ore people have never drunk clean water!"

"My grandfather and my father spent their entire lives repeatedly digging for groundwater, hoping to find clean, clear groundwater in this cursed soil of Ore!"

"but....

'

"Never! Never! Not even until they died!"

"My life was destined to follow the same path as my grandfather and father..."

,"until."

Barclay looked at the central device with a frenzied and fanatical expression.

"It's coming!"
