Badge Discrimination

Despite many unexpected events.

But Natsuki eventually got involved in the black market activities.

but.

While directing the other officers through the walkie-talkie, Officer Jenny kept a close eye on Natsume and his group.

"You'll stay by my side. If anything happens, I'll assign you tasks; but if I don't give the order, you can't act!"

Although I really wanted to be on the front lines, but...

The three, already in the wrong, eventually nodded obediently in response under Officer Jenny's stern gaze.

"Yes, sir!" x3

Under such circumstances.

The police gradually completed the encirclement.

"Team A has reached the designated position!"

"Team B has reached the designated position!"

"Team C has reached the designated position!"

"Team D has reached the designated position!"

"The naval team has reached its designated position!"

As reports came one after another over the walkie-talkie, Officer Jenny nodded.

Speechless, he glanced at Natsuki, who had somehow managed to climb onto his Gyrocopter's back with Shin-chan.

"Operation begins!"

With Officer Jenny's command.

Several explosions suddenly echoed from the warehouse area in the distance.

The operation thus came to an end.

Nothing unexpected happened.

While feeling disappointed, Xia Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Shouldn't there be some big boss inside at a time like this? Then I'd make my move, get a spirit egg, or some kind of lucky encounter like a stone tablet..."

Seeing Xia Mu sighing and complaining, Wanlong's expression was one of complete indifference.

"Officer Jenny isn't just sitting around doing nothing. The fact that she can maintain her position in such a cargo port shows that her strength shouldn't be underestimated."

Xia Mu certainly knew this.

I just angrily rubbed Officer Jenny's head.

Forehead......

When Natsuki angrily rubbed Officer Jenny's head, he noticed Arcanine's physical condition.

Although Xia Mu doesn't possess the appraisal ability described in most Pokémon books, which allows him to instantly discern a Pokémon's level and strength.

But during the time she helped Joyful Mew heal her Pokémon at the Pokémon Center.

I also learned how to judge a Pokémon's health and analyze its approximate strength by its appearance.

and so.

It seems like Natsuki was groping Arcanine because it was cool, but actually Natsuki was analyzing the abilities of the Arcanine in front of him.

Whether others believe it or not, that's what Xia Mu thinks.

In short.

As the criminal suspects were escorted into police cars one by one.

The black market special that Natsuki had been looking forward to for so long was thus dashed.

As Officer Jenny begins to busy herself with the aftermath.

Xia Mu and the other two were left near the warehouse.

"You can go back now, I still have a lot of reports to write..."

The image of Officer Jenny commanding her subordinates with such confidence just now seems to have been an illusion.

Appearing before everyone is Officer Jenny, a corporate slave who is feeling down because of her paperwork.

Officer Jenny rode off on her tricycle and disappeared from their sight.

Xia Mu and the others looked at each other.

"Let's go back!"

"Um!"

The anticipated battle and thrilling action all fell silent at this moment.

"..."

"..."

"..."

In the end, it was Xia Mu who broke the silence first.

"Actually, I think it would be good if we were on the front lines. My skills aren't bad at all!"

Upon hearing Xia Mu's words, Zi Yu nodded in agreement.

"We can ensure our own safety, and we might even be able to lend a hand..."

Xia Mu has a clay giant, and he also has a dragon-headed groundhog.

Although the two don't have many badges, their strength is comparable to that of many elite trainers who have traveled for many years.

But after hearing their conversation, Wanlong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"How many badges do you have?"

"one!"

Not a single one!

So that's it!

Xia Mu was taken aback.

"So what?"

Looking at the two people staring at him with confusion, Wanlong sighed and put his hand to his forehead.

"No way, you guys really didn't know?"

He sighed helplessly.

Wanlong remained silent for a moment in the face of these two people who were completely lacking in common sense.

Finally, I figured out how to explain it to the two of them.

The dragon pointed to the workers on the dock not far away, who were leading porters to move goods.

Are you 100% confident you can defeat him?

Purple Taro shook her head.

"Without sufficient intelligence, I cannot guarantee anything!"

Wanlong nodded.

"Others do the same, so among trainers, there's a saying that we use badges to measure skill level!"

"I see!"

Xia Mu immediately thought of the trainers he had encountered at the Pokémon Center who were showing off the number of badges they had.

At first, I thought these goods would be easy to pack.

Now it seems...

They were comparing their own strengths.

At this moment, the dragon continued:

"While this classification isn't rigorous, in situations where there's no time for battles or battles are impossible, the number of badges is the best way to determine the strength of both sides!"

"After all, most trainers go to the gym to prove their strength."

Seeing the two nodding, Wanlong adjusted his glasses.

Continue to tutor these two people who lack basic trainer knowledge.

"The meanings of three badges, six badges, and eight badges are all different."

Some companies, when hiring security personnel, will consider the number of badges a trainer possesses or their tournament performance, offering different compensation packages accordingly.

"So, the two of you together only have one badge."

It's good that nothing bad happened.

If anything goes wrong, Officer Jenny, who sent you to the front lines, will definitely be punished! Others will also question Officer Jenny for sending a trainer with only one badge to the front lines!

Natsuki: "..."

Badge discrimination, blatant badge discrimination!

Xia Mu finally found out.

Why did Officer Jenny agree to let him participate in the operation, but then keep him by her side during the operation?

I originally thought Officer Jenny made this arrangement because she was unaware of her own strength.

but.

Now Xia Mu has an idea.

Given Officer Jenny's big mouth, she probably even knows that she started her nickname with "Brothers, it's lunchtime again."

How could he not know that he had captured Claydol and that Kikyo had used her Gym Team 2 to battle him?

There is only one reason why I have gained nothing today.

There is only one badge available!

For some reason, a silly thing popped into Xia Mu's mind.

His first few badges were full of chance.

I got the Rock Badge by accidentally hitting the sprinkler system, and the Water Badge by helping to repair the gym after Team Rocket caused trouble.

Until later, when the number of badges increased.

That silly guy with the Pikachu badge likes to hang it inside his clothes and take it out to show off every now and then.

and.

Xia Mu thought of something even more serious.

Although Officer Jenny and Joyce had laid the groundwork for their trip.

but.

If you don't have enough badges, Officer Jenny and Joey in other cities might also end up like they are today.

Do you only entrust yourself with extremely safe tasks?

Less money, less excitement, fewer video views, even less money.

Thinking of this situation, Xia Mu clenched his fists.

"No, I'm going to challenge the gym!"

Xia Mu was eager to increase the number of badges so as not to affect his ability to make money.
