This white-haired man's ideology is dangerous

Chapter 95 This white-haired man's ideology is dangerous

"By the way, you said you were training in Viridian Forest, but I heard that the danger rating of that place keeps going up. How come there are still poachers?"

Walking along the road, Du thought for a moment about how to explain it simply and directly before speaking.

"The area of ​​Viridian Forest has been expanding, and the danger level has naturally increased as well. The Rocket Group is behind this, and the Gym Leader of Viridian Gym can be considered to be giving back to his hometown."

"The poachers vary in strength. The stronger ones venture deeper into the area, while the weaker ones stay in the outer areas. I've encountered both types, but neither of them could beat me."

Well, running into Watari is just bad luck for that bunch of idiots.

Zhu Suihan asked curiously, "The gym leader is Giovanni, doesn't he care?"

"How could he not care? He's caught enough poachers to fill two labor camps, but there are still some strange guys who keep doing it."

Watari said helplessly, "As for why there are so many poachers, to be honest, it's actually somewhat related to Giovanni."

"If I'm not mistaken, Giovanni must also be a holder of the Power of Everlasting, which makes it easy to understand why Rocket Group is behind the scenes expanding its forest protection efforts."

"But in the eyes of others, the rapid rise of Rocket Group, which lives up to its name, and the strength of Sakaki, are all inseparable from Tokiwa Forest."

Zhu Suihan paused for a moment, then seemed to be deep in thought.

"I suspect they believe there's some kind of treasure in Viridian Forest, deep within it, and that Giovanni is just one of the lucky ones who found a portion of it?"

As for expanding Evergreen Forest?

The simple idea is to add more mazes and traps to the place where the treasure is buried, and the Pokémon living inside will be the best protectors.

You old scoundrel Sakaki, you actually want to take all the treasure in Viridian Forest for yourself!

"Yes, that's it."

Du was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Although Rocket Group and the Alliance have explained the logic behind this, telling them that the so-called treasure rumors are false."

"But the problem is that we can say it, but whether the poachers believe it or not is their own business."

"But it's good, those desolate labor camps are short of manpower, and Sakaki has made a significant contribution to the development of the Alliance's border areas."

We're all adults, and everyone has a certain ability to judge what they hear, but whether that judgment is correct or not is another matter.

Just like these poachers who are convinced that there is treasure in Viridian Forest, they can't figure out that the treasure is Viridian Forest itself.

"These days, not many people believe the legend that a new owner of the power of Tokiwa appears every ten years. The most famous legend now is the one about Giovanni's treasure."

Wataru shook his head: "However, Giovanni's understanding of the power of Viridian is definitely ahead of everyone else; you could even say he is the Lord of Viridian."

How do you feel about your current abilities?

Zhu Suihan was taken aback: "I don't know much about combat, so I can't give you much to refer to. I can only say that your current strength is not as good as Uncle Liu and Professor Oak."

Du was immediately choked.

"Many people are not as good as them, which is something I didn't consider."

Wataru explained, "If I were to go all out and engage in a full-scale battle, even though I don't have enough allies yet, I could still put up a fight against those younger, top-tier fighters."

"If this battle were to take place in Viridian Forest, with the same skill gap, my Dragonite could take on four opponents at once."

Zhu Suihan:?

"Is that exaggerated?"

Watanabe nodded: "Yes, it's that exaggerated. The blessing that Viridian Forest brings to people like us is terrifying. This is Giovanni's doing."

"If we stay away, we might not get as many external support, but overall it will allow us to advance our strength by a lot."

"Back then, I encountered a poacher with tournament champion-level strength in an area of ​​Viridian Forest. However, the power of Viridian had just awakened, and with the double boost of extraordinary abilities, my Dragonite ended the battle with a single Dragon Pulse."

There's a common misconception here. Some people might think that since they're already at the level of a tournament champion, why not make more money than poaching?

The misconception is that these people weren't born champions; they achieved that level of skill by spending many years in this shady business.

His criminal record is probably enough to build a paper amusement park, so naturally he won't reform now. He'll just continue his old ways and wait until he can't do it anymore before retiring.

Of course, whether retiring from criminal activity means being arrested by Officer Jenny or being able to live in anonymity is uncertain.

Zhu Suihan seemed to be deep in thought, having gained a clear understanding of Du's strength.

The red-haired caped man has not yet reached the ultimate form of "Dragon Champion". His strength can be said to have just touched the threshold of the Elite Four, rather than being one of the four regional Elite Four.

In short, Wataru might become a mid-to-high-level leader in the Interpol team as an investigator, but he's still a ways off from becoming one of the region's top four.

However, once he had six companions and the system truly began to improve in terms of natural weather, this hurdle was practically nonexistent for Du.

"Oh right, have we forgotten something?"

Du suddenly said, "We've talked so much, but we haven't said a single word about the potion you developed."

"Yes, didn't I tell you that Magikarp is a compressed file?"

Zhu Suihan smiled and said, "I've never been very good at naming things, and I plan to use 'Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate' to name the potion. This is also related to some of Magikarp's habits."

"Jumping upwards might be their own stress-relief process, but the effect might not be satisfactory; it's too difficult."

Whatever the reason for becoming a compressed file, trying to decompress it on its own is undoubtedly going against the rules of nature again, which is a very difficult thing.

Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, Magikarp will rise from weakness to strength, harnessing its power to control its rage and become a giant dragon capable of bringing calamity upon its enemies.

[Successful naming of the drug marks a significant leap forward]

"What a pity, this potion is great in every way, its only drawback is that the price is too high."

The only thing Zhu Suihan found a bit of a pity was that, while it wasn't to the point that ordinary trainers couldn't afford it, it certainly wasn't dirt cheap either.

Du asked, somewhat puzzled, "What do you need so many for?"

If someone like him has a family, it wouldn't be a problem to train a large number of Gyarados as family guards and invest heavily in creating a Gyarados army.

But Zhu Suihan has no family and doesn't seem to have any real relatives, so why would he need so many medicines?

Zhu Suihan stroked his chin: "It's nothing. I just thought of something when I was researching potions."

"If the cost is right, I'll find a place with many waterways, like an estuary, and dump truckloads of medicine into it to artificially cultivate even more powerful Magikarp and Gyarados."

"Treating the stress-relief process of the medicine as a man-made alteration of natural laws, like a greenhouse, should bring about positive changes in most Magikarp."

As everyone knows, the relationship between anglers and fish has always been a simple and brutal one: feeding and offerings.

Large bags of bait were thrown in to create a feeding area, the only price being that a small number of fish had to be sacrificed to the entire fish population.

From the perspective of racial continuation, it truly means sacrificing oneself to save countless lives.

"This kind of world would be more interesting, but unfortunately the cost is too high, and my savings don't support me doing it."

Watari's lips twitched violently.

"I suggest you don't do that. Magikarp may become stronger, but mastering Rage is another matter entirely."

The logic here isn't that becoming stronger automatically grants the ability to comprehend anger.

This is not a passive skill that is automatically unlocked after leveling up; rather, it is an advanced technique that requires practice to unlock.

It can only be said that the difficulty is equivalent to an extremely profound combination of moves, which is definitely a significant boost to Gyarados's strength.

Du spoke earnestly, and he felt less mentally exhausted talking to his peers in the clan who had always wanted to challenge him.

"Believe me, if you really do that, it won't be long before I'm talking to you through a huge glass wall with the words 'Repent and Start anew' written on it."

"I'm outside, you're inside."

Just kidding, the effects of the potion aren't limited to Magikarp. If you gave those Gyarados, who are already outlaws, a boost, who knows what would happen?

There's nothing wrong with having a connection with wild Pokémon; the Pokémon world's powerful natural capacity even allows Pokémon from outside the region to multiply in large numbers.

However, this does not mean that having a large number of powerful outlaws will go unpunished.

If you just casually toss some potions along the way, it's the fruit of friendship formed by the bond with your Pokémon, and you never know where you'll meet them again in the future.

When you pass by a body of water, you might just see a Magikarp, or perhaps a Gyarados, break through the surface of the water under the cover of night, its back illuminated by the moonlight, and meet you again.

However, Zhu Suihan was referring to "cartloads" of medicine, which has a different meaning.

That's called poisoning!

This will inevitably be taken away by Officer Jenny. If the drug really flows through the waterways to various regions, Interpol will probably have to take over.

"You make a good point."

Zhu Suihan thought seriously: "How about I do this secretly? For example, I can put a large amount of medicine in my spatial backpack, find a motorhome and pretend to travel around, but actually release small doses in multiple locations."

"In that case, with the dilution of the water, there shouldn't be any major problems. And it's also reasonable for me to travel around under the pretext of going on vacation."

"These days, so many trainers are constantly on the go. It's perfectly fine for a student like me to take a long trip during the holidays to relieve the stress of my studies."

Crossing:

Does anyone in the clan work within the Alliance's investigator system? I'll probably have to ask them to keep a close eye on this white-haired guy when we get back.

No, his family is keen to groom him. If he wants to gain work experience within the Alliance, he will definitely apply to join the investigator system!

This guy's idea is too dangerous!
