Chapter 26 The villain finally has a name

"You're going to Slowpoke's Well?"

Mr. Steel was somewhat surprised: "Are you planning to capture a Slowpoke?"

"No, I'm just curious about this place. I'll just treat it as a tourist attraction."

"Okay, tourist attractions."

Steel smiled and said, "Well, I'm the manager of Slowpoke Well. It's usually semi-open, so visitors can only watch from the outside, and they're not guaranteed to see any Slowpokes."

"After all, it's more of a historical site than a tourist attraction; the Slowpoke Well has a long history."

Zhu Suihan nodded: "Okay, then I'll go over tonight."

Steel frowned: "You're worried about the main force of that group?"

Zhu Suihan nodded: "We are ordinary citizens, so there are some things that Officer Jenny and Abi definitely won't tell us."

"The reason that they came to dig for rare minerals is really absurd."

"Or rather, there are two main possibilities: either those three guys are indeed mentally challenged, or they are scouts leading the charge."

Zhu Suihan said, "All the waters under heaven are interconnected. Before going to the Slowpoke Well, I plan to go into that mine to see if there is a water vein that can connect to the Slowpoke Well."

Steel seemed to be deep in thought: "All waters under heaven are interconnected. Is this a proverb from your time? It certainly makes a lot of sense."

That makes sense, provided that Garchomp and Groudon don't fight. Normally, they do have very obvious overall characteristics.

"Yes, be extra careful."

Steel is very confident in Zhu Suihan's strength, or rather, his character; at least he could sense it from the last time they were at the dojo.

With a single kick, Zhu Suihan could send someone to the intensive care unit; he was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

In terms of the ruthlessness of his methods, even the most lawless villains might not be a match for Zhu Suihan.

"Let's go for a look around, though of course I'll never admit that I want to rummage through that mine for some good stuff."

On the way, Zhu Suihan tossed the heavy ball in his hand, then hurled it hard at a rock in front of him. With a loud bang, the heavy ball crashed into the rock.

Very deep.

"Not bad. Hopefully, those three guys are really idiots, otherwise their possible companions are in big trouble."

When it really came down to battle, Zhu Suihan didn't think he would hold back.

If this were in the middle of nowhere in the wilderness, he would want to loot the place after knocking him out, just as pocket money after a victory.

This time, the operation didn't trouble the Pokémon in the forest; Zhu Suihan simply grabbed a metal pickaxe and carried it on his shoulder.

After all, the dragon isn't the type that can help with mining. If they really encounter some precious minerals, they'll have to take matters into their own hands.

"I was thinking of preparing a mask, but it seems like that's unnecessary."

The hair color is a bit too distinctive, and it doesn't seem to have much effect on just covering the face.

Zhu Suihan entered the mine, and even in the dim light, he could see a few scattered supersonic bats living inside.

"No wonder they used the giant beak bat."

With the familiar energy cubes clearing the way, and a strange affinity emanating from him, Zhu Suihan easily crossed the Zubat's territory, then swung his pickaxe and smashed it into a nearby area.

With a click, Zhu Suihan picked up a piece of ore that was still rolling on the ground, wiped off the dust, and glanced at it.

Yes, it's a standard associated mineral resource, nourished by both terrestrial and litholithic resources.

It's in excellent condition; I could sell it to Daigo without any problem.

"Chenglong, check which direction you can feel a clear water vein fluctuation."

Zhu Suihan, holding a flashlight in his mouth, circled an area near Slowpoke Well for Lapras based on the map.

"Waaah"

Chenglong closed his eyes and began to sense, while Zhu Suihan took a flashlight and swept it into the depths.

The traces of violent mining by Pokémon appear to be the work of Rhyperior and Onix, and there are also some fresher traces to be seen.

The gentle airflow inside the cave was a great help; it wouldn't have been so easy outside.

"The footprints are very messy. Did Officer Jenny and Abi investigate them carefully?"

Chenglong gave the direction, and Zhu Suihan checked the emergency supplies in the incense burner. After confirming the information again, they continued to venture deeper.

A pattering sound came from the rock face. When Zhu Suihan shone his flashlight, he discovered that it was a trickle of water that had gathered and fallen from the rock wall. Over time, it had formed a narrow waterway that flowed further and further away.

Zhu Suihan even saw half a tree fruit kernel that hadn't been completely eaten.

"These supersonic bats have really good living conditions."

The place is large, has clean running water, and is usually very quiet, which is great for a Pokémon like Zubat.

For a modern person, this would probably mean a gamer with a large and exquisite gaming room, a large-screen high-definition device specifically for playing console games, two cabinets to display figurines and comics, and a refrigerator in the corner filled with drinks and snacks.

Moreover, there are several delicious takeout restaurants near my home, so I can order takeout while enjoying the air conditioning.

"Waaah."

Riding a dragon, it calls out to the bamboo in the cold of winter, gazing intently in the direction where the water flows down.

"Is there really a way?"

Zhu Suihan placed his hand on it and felt nothing, but saw the traces of artificial mining, which meant it was the result of crustal movement.

Of course, if a pro player of Giovanni's caliber were to come and have a Pokémon capable of using Ground-type moves operate in a small area, the same effect could be achieved.

But for those kinds of people, Slowpoke Well isn't really a valuable place.

"That means it's safe here."

Zhu Suihan said, "Riding the Dragon, starting from here, the deeper we go, the more pronounced the fluctuations in the water veins become?"

Chenglong nodded and nudged Zhu Suihan's chin with his head, gesturing for him to look up.

"Is the water vein above my head?"

Hinoki Town isn't a very important area, or at least the oak forest is. What impressed Zhu Suihan most about this place were Slowpoke's tail and Time Onion.

This place could actually lead to the direction of Slowpoke Well?

"Great, it seems those three aren't idiots after all. I'm in for some fun now."

With the Heavy Ball in hand, Zhu Suihan's smile gradually became more unrestrained. Lapras did not return to the Dark Ball, but instead quietly followed behind the trainer.

Once Zhu Suihan confirms there are no enemies ahead, Chenglong will continue to follow, since from the target's perspective, Zhu Suihan is definitely the smaller one.

As you venture deeper into the bamboo grove, you can still faintly hear the sound of flowing water, and the activity of the water veins is clearly right next door.

However, judging from the sound, even if Zhu Suihan made Chenglong break through the rock wall, the amount of water flow would not be as strong as what is shown in movies and TV dramas where people are swept away.

Even if their mentally challenged companions are planning to cause trouble ahead, they don't need to worry about suffering losses from the natural environment.

"Hassan?"

After turning a corner, Zhu Suihan looked at the three large heads that were now in front of him and fell into deep thought, the narration of the Pokémon Encyclopedia starting to play in his head.

The praying mantis will raise its powerful pincers to intimidate its enemies when threatened.

So here's the question: why are there scythes here?

"Ugh!"

Lapras decisively took the lead, staring intently at the scythe, which had lowered its pincers and whose eyes were gradually sharpening.

Zhu Suihan gripped the heavy ball tightly, ready to throw it at any moment.

"Don't be afraid, scythe, I'm coming!"

This sound

"Abi?"

"Huh?!"

Zhu Suihan stared at Abi, who was rushing towards him with Heracross and Dajia, and they were at a loss for words.

"What are you doing here!" x2

"Anyway, let's not talk about that for now. Don't worry about Scizor, Suihan is not an enemy."

Abi looked at the heavy ball in Zhu Suihan's hand, her eyes gradually becoming strange.

"You're not done fighting yet, are you? You want to find two more people to test your skills?"

"You're such a clever little devil."

Zhu Suihan put away the heavy ball: "That's interesting. Doesn't the gym leader usually rest? No wonder you always look like you're completely exhausted."

"That was an accident, and the reason I couldn't catch up on my sleep is definitely because of you."

Abi rolled her eyes: "Fine, since you're already here, come over and say hello. We'll file a report later before you leave."

Zhu Suihan raised an eyebrow: "Registration? Did you come with Officer Jenny? Did you gain anything?"

"Hehe, you've got all the rewards for today."

Ah Bi's last sentence was obviously a joke, but when the two arrived at a large open area, Officer Jenny's team and Miss Joey were both somewhat surprised.

Nurse Joy and Chansey gave them a teasing look: "You said you weren't a trainer, but you're always running around like this."

"It's fun."

Zhu Suihan glanced at the minor characters who were bound hand and foot and unconscious.

"Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump, it seems you guys are quite good at this trick. You've worked hard."

He had to come out to fight crime late at night. If the timing weren't so bad, he would have gone to Yanmo City to bring Du some toxic chicken soup for the soul.

Young man, the evil of an alliance awaits your rampage. Go and stage the scene of the Dragon King descending upon the city!

"Mr. Zhu Suihan, is that right?"

Officer Jenny saluted Zhu Suihan: "Thank you very much for your support of our work. We should strike hard against such evil people."

Abi added, "That Onix trainer woke up and even wants to sue you for assault."

"He still has human rights."

Zhu Suihan laughed: "Then I'll find some time to go and have a chat with him?"

Abi quickly grabbed the other person: "Never mind, never mind, tell me what you're here for first."

"I came to test the possibility that they aren't mentally challenged, and it seems that is the case now, but I didn't expect you to act faster than me."

Officer Jenny crouched down and patted Growlithe's head.

"Fighting crime is what we should do; otherwise, we would be irresponsible to the residents of Hinoki Town."

Zhu Suihan glanced at the extras: "Which organization do they belong to?"

Officer Jenny was equally straightforward: "Team Darkness."

Wow, the villain from the Kanto region has finally appeared! That's really something, finally we've observed another side of the world.

However, this name...

Zhu Suihan had some unpleasant thoughts: "Could you tell me who the leader of this organization is?"

Abi shook his head: "I don't know. The little information the league has right now is that Team Dark seems to have a strange Poké Ball technique that can force wild Pokémon to obey commands."

"Those Poké Balls are called Dark Balls by their insiders."

well.

Zhu Suihan roughly knew who the leader of this villainous organization was.

Bishas!
