Chapter 81 The Little Demon God Gets Fished Out

In a desert region, there is a valley, and in the valley is a village.

Ivory sculptures, shaped like Arceus's golden wheel, are scattered throughout the valley. The ubiquitous Arceus-themed clothing and decorations demonstrate the village's deep devotion to Arceus.

At this moment, inside the village.

"Hoopa, you're abusing your powers again!"

"I didn't—Hoopa just picked up some unwanted things from the ground."

The little girl with brown hair looked at him intently, pointing to various foods on the table, including energy cubes, donuts, and even a half-melted ice cream. She exclaimed incredulously, "You can't find these on the ground!"

"Hoopa, Hoopa wouldn't lie to Mayali—."

The little demon Hoopa, clutching the golden ring, looked aggrieved. "It really was dropped on the ground by someone else."

Mayali knew Hoopa's true colors all too well: "Didn't someone else fall to the ground in less than a second or two?"

As soon as she said that, Hoopa looked guilty and said angrily, "Really, Hoopa, give these things back to them right now."

"Okay, okay," Hoopa reluctantly agreed, but absentmindedly shook the golden ring in her hand. "Hoopa will return it!"

Despite saying this, it planned to use the ring to collect all the food and eat it secretly later.

After all, they said they'd return it, but Hoopa didn't say when!

Hupa was secretly pleased with himself.

The little hand waving the golden ring became even more decisive!

But then the ring was swung out, distorting space, just as it was about to touch the food on the table.

A white light suddenly appeared from outside the ring. In a flash, Hoopa's ring disappeared.

"Ah!" Hoopa was stunned. "Hoopa, Hoopa's ring has been retrieved!!"

Mayali said earnestly, "That must be Arceus's punishment for preventing Hoopa from acting recklessly!"

Sawaki casually tossed the golden ring that appeared in his hand, unaware of its purpose.

"Am I supposed to be the God of Salad Making?"

On the round table in the center of the board, Psyduck was sitting on the ground with its feet outstretched, happily eating the berries from the fruit bowl he had placed there.

Ze Shu casually tossed the ring in his hand toward it.

The ring spun through the air, and as it passed Psyduck, a golden light swept over it, swirling a freshly taken-out Orange Berry into his hand with incredible fluidity.

Psyduck was bewildered: "Quack?"

But it quickly forgot about it and happily picked up the next fruit to gnaw on.

Ze Shu: "..."

Is it possible to snatch an opponent's item right in front of them? Like an NTR (Netorare, a type of in-game attack)? I wonder which is better, Hoopa's "Steal" or Marco's "Take Advantage of the Situation".

Ze Shu looked at the Orange Berry that appeared in his hand and wanted to hand it to the Glaceon and Froslass beside him, but to his surprise, they pursed their lips and shook their heads vigorously. The shadow of being fat as a ball in the nightmare still lingered in their hearts.

So when he passed by Psyduck, he would casually slip the orange fruit back into its hand.

Suddenly finding a new berry in its hand, Psyduck was once again bewildered: "Quack?"

It looked around, wondering who was so kind as to give it tree fruit to eat.

But Ze Shu had already dragged Sachi towards the bottom of the spaceship.

The spaceship's prison.

When the soldier with the sword threw Hunter J's fully armored body into the "cell", it made quite a noise.

But the incredulous gaze of the "long-time resident" Galaxy team members in this prison was drawn to another person—Sachi, whom Zeki had casually tossed on the ground.

"This, this is Boss Sachi. Yes, it's her. You've been 'neighbors' for a while now." Ze Shu smiled.

The Galaxy team member paused for a moment, then widened his eyes: "Neighbor! Neighbor!"

He was just a nobody in Team Galactic, someone that Sachi, the boss, would normally be happy to even glance at.

What merit did he have to become Sachi's prison neighbor?

It's all thanks to this person.

The Galaxy team members looked at Ze Shu with eyes full of awe.

He remembered that not long ago, Ze Shu had learned about "Boss Sachi" from him. But he never expected that just two or three days later, this Sachi would appear in front of him like a dead fish, become his "cellmate", and even bring along a seemingly remarkable person.

The Galaxy team members looked at Hunter J, who was also completely still.

"Don't worry about them bullying you," Ze Shu said. "You won't be cellmates anymore soon. Because you'll be 'released' before this Sachi."

Galaxy Team Member: "...—"

He didn't know whether to be glad or to lament that "he wasn't qualified to be Sachi's cellmate."

But Ze Shu ignored what the Galaxy team member was thinking and used the various restraint devices inside the spaceship's cell to bind Sachi tightly. Combined with her own restraints, her chances of escape were virtually zero.

As for Hunter J, let's put her aside for now. With the "Eternal Armor" to keep her alive, she won't die.

The snow fairy, with practiced ease, asked for a basin of cold water and splashed it on Sachi's face. Sachi was visibly shivering from the cold and almost woke up.

Her sinister gaze swept over the somewhat dark cell, and she gritted her teeth as she said:

"Ha, this time I, Lord Sachi, have truly lost!"

Ze Shu was stunned for a moment: "...How can you still be so arrogant after falling into someone else's hands?"

If it weren't for Sachi's appearance not being so incompatible with Sawaki's aesthetic, this would have been a scene of imprisonment where anything could be done at will, just like in a doujinshi.

She casually splashed the remaining cold water in her hand, making Sachi tremble with anger. But she then forced herself to endure it, forcing a mocking smile, appearing very defiant:

"No matter how much you provoke me, I won't tell you anything about the inner workings of Team Galactic! Don't even think about ruining Team Galactic's plans again!"

The Galaxy team members next to her lowered their heads somewhat guiltily.

But no one paid him any attention. Ze Shu smiled and said, "Oh? Your Galaxy Team has a plan?"

"Well—." Sachi realized he'd let something slip, his face turning ashen. "Ha! But don't even think about finding out the specifics!"

Ze Shu casually remarked, "You wouldn't have used the meteorite from Veiled City to make the red chain, would you?"

This caused Sachi's previously stern face to instantly break down, and Wen Shi lost her composure: "You—"

"That's it?" Seeing Sachi's performance, Ze Shu was stunned for a moment. "Is your Galactic Team out of options?"

"If there's no life left, it's better for everyone to perish sooner rather than later."

Now, within Team Galactic, Hoshino, Pluto, and even the hidden executive Sachi, along with the "external employee" Hunter J, have all been arrested by Sawaki. Team Galactic is now practically on its last legs.

But at least the blazing sun should not be underestimated.

Ze Shu was still worried that Team Galaxy might resort to desperate measures, so he asked Sachi, "You should be able to contact Akatsuki, right?"

Sachi smugly said, "The Crimson Sun has probably severed its connection with me by now. Want to contact me? Don't even think about it!"

Ze Shu: "..."

I don't understand what Sachi is so proud of.

"But that means Akari already—or at least knows about this place." Ze Shu paused for a moment, then said, "Alright."

Regardless of how Chi Ri reacts upon seeing Sachi's operation fail.

At least Zeshu knows that he needs to do what he should do.

As he looked at Sachi's smug face, he swiftly and decisively knocked him unconscious.
