Sect Treasure Vault

This feeling is very similar to when Ralts uses Return.

Who is she?

Wei Xin leaned closer to take a look, but unfortunately, the Pokémon's body was completely covered by a black robe, like the absolute territory under a girl's skirt in summer, existing in a superposition of what could be seen and what could not be seen.

Ralts jumped out of its Poké Ball and approached the glass case of the statue, seemingly remembering something.

"Never mind, let's remove the petrification first."

Wei Xin looked around and found that there were quite a few Pokémon in the warehouse, including Froakie, Teddiursa, Popplio, Magmortar, Riolu, Samoyed, Mimikuri, Kecleon, Vulpix, Leafeon, Dratini, Mudkip, Relicanth, Kirlia, Zoroark...

Below are labels indicating that Sea Lion, Tanuki, Vulpix, Newleaf Cat, and Dratini Mibrim are all shiny.

There was even a Cosmog, and it wasn't Lillie's.

"They even have a Ditto! Looks like the Rockets have finally created a comeback hero."

Wei Xin remembers that in the anime, Ditto was a byproduct of Team Rocket's research on Mewtwo.

Mewtwo might be hiding in some cave right now, preparing to make a comeback.

Wei Xin remembered that Pokémon Hunter J had a special ability: he could spot the unique features of certain Pokémon at a glance, capture them, and then recommend them to suitable customers.

In other words, all the Pokémon in the warehouse are either rare or possess extraordinary skills.

No wonder Hunter J's Pokémon are all highly skilled and extremely difficult to deal with.

If this were a fantasy novel, it would be like entering the treasure vault of a demonic cultivation sect.

All expenses today will be paid by Pokémon Hunter J, and everyone here will receive a Shiny Pokémon!

It's a pity that none of them can actually fly, otherwise Wei Xin could ride one back to Shanghai.

So the question is, what is the method to awaken the stone statue?

"Ralts, release everyone." Wei Xin walked up to the petrified Eevee, which looked quite fierce with its claws outstretched.

"Then explain the situation to everyone."

As Wei Xin slid the button on the glass base, the petrified Eevee was awakened.

Then, he flew into a rage!

You bastards, I'll fight you to the death!

"Eevee!" Eevee yelled, then slammed its head against the glass dome like a meat patty stuck to it. As it slowly slid down to the base, Eevee almost cried out in pain, but still stood there with its fur standing on end, looking fiercely at Wei Xin's face.

I can't be fierce anymore.

My trainer has come to my rescue!

Upon seeing the familiar face, Ibu's eyes instantly cleared like spring water, his vision blurred, he raised his head, sniffed, and tears streamed down his face like a gentle spring breeze, flowing continuously from the corners of his eyes.

"Little Ibu, I've come to take you home," Wei Xin said with a smile.

"Eevee!"

Why did you take so long to come, you idiot! I was so scared.

"Alright, we can talk about it when we get back. First, release all the other Pokémon for me. We need to start our escape." After calming him down a bit, Wei Xin put Eevee on the ground.

Upon hearing this, Ibu sniffed and raised its paw to wipe away its tears.

I'll cry my heart out in my trainer's arms when I get back.

He'd be heartbroken.

"Ralts!" Ralts suddenly shouted. It wasn't that someone had launched an attack, but rather that the stone statue draped in black robes had revived, beeped twice, its eyes flashing with a fierce light, and without saying a word, it teleported away.

Whose child is this? After being rescued, they didn't even say thank you.

Furthermore, when the other Pokémon were freed from petrification and found themselves in an unfamiliar environment, they were terrified and anxious, roaring and attacking the glass dome.

The warehouse was immediately thrown into chaos.

"Everyone calm down and listen to me!" Wei Xin hurriedly tried to stop them, but it was no use. All they could see was a Pokémon hunter who attacked them and took them away from their families and trainers.

Painful memories painted their faces with rage and fury.

You heinous Pokémon hunter, I'll take you down right now!

Helpless, Wei Xin sighed, took off the electronic sunglasses on his face, and finally betrayed his physical appearance.

Amidst the roars, several Pokémon raised their heads and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Wei Xin's face.

Woohoo!

His fair skin and slender neck, his deep eyes like the ocean, his thick hair like the silent night, and his high nose bridge displayed masculine beauty—what a handsome appearance!

The Pokémon that were originally in a rage were now completely absorbed in watching, and some even drooled, with saliva dripping from the mouths of Neoleaf, Popplio, Vulpix, and Mimikuri.

Some Pokémon even felt the gravity suddenly increase, and their knees involuntarily trembled slightly.

Ralts glanced at the somewhat dazed Pokémon, then turned to look at its trainer, and inexplicably became angry. Using its psychic powers, it snatched the sunglasses from Wei Xin's hand and, without a word, put them on the trainer's face.

New Leaf and Mibrim awoke from their daze, still feeling unsatisfied.

Tan Xiaoshi's eyes flashed with blue light, as if he had made up his mind.

"Listen to me, everyone..." Wei Xin succinctly explained his plan, "I have a companion in the hands of a Pokémon hunter, so I need your help."

Little Eevee has been rescued, but Lillie is still in Hunter J's hands.

As a gentleman, Wei Xin could not bring himself to betray a girl.

Everyone understood immediately, and Ralts used its charging beam to shatter the surveillance cameras in the warehouse, triggering an alarm.

Ditto and Zoroark transformed, and three Wei Xins appeared in the room.

Three trainers!

Eevee's eyes suddenly lit up, its ears perked up, and its gaze darted back and forth between the three trainers before it lowered its head in disappointment.

Other Pokémon can mimic their trainer's face, but they can't mimic their trainer's aura or that indescribable charm.

As expected, my trainer is one of a kind.

……

"What happened?" The alarm sounded, and Hunter J in the main cabin asked hurriedly.

"It's Warehouse 9. Someone broke into Warehouse 9 and released all the goods."

The surveillance footage from Warehouse 9 appeared on the main screen. Wei Xin went from entering the warehouse and releasing all the Pokémon to using Mass Charm, then smashing the surveillance camera, and finally leaving behind only one sentence.

"Pokémon Hunter, you're a total loser, the worst of the worst. Look at your hairstyle, it looks like you have a shiny Grimer on your head. Remember what I said, you stand right there, I'm going to slap you in the face and rip your glasses off."

Afraid of not understanding, he repeated a single sentence three times in Eastern Huang language, Sinnoh language, and Galar language, conveying only one emotion.

Arrogant! Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant!

Based on the voice, Hunter J recognized the other party as the Machamp who was hiding in the suit and sabotaging his plans.

This is the second time.

"Hurry up and send men to arrest him!"

"We can't catch them, boss. All our Pokémon are left in Donghuang."

According to the laws of the Eastern Empire, any criminal who violates the highest law will be stripped of their right to raise Pokémon.

According to the Pokémon Crime Punishment Law, Pokémon themselves do not commit crimes on their own initiative. Pokémon that have been deprived of their rights are not punished, but are handed over to specialized personnel for re-education.

The Pokémon of the other members were confiscated by Donghuang when they were first captured. Judging from the time, they have probably been transformed into other people's shapes by now.

The few remaining Pokémon at the research center are in a state of disloyalty, refusing to be enslaved even with food and lodging provided.

You can't expect us to fight Pokémon hand-to-hand.

"Damn it!" Hunter J slammed his fist on the table, the hand that Wei Xin had hit still throbbing.

In a fit of anger, Hunter J stood up, turned around, looked at Lillie, who was bound hand and foot, on the chair behind him, and mocked her with displaced anger.

"He actually walked right into a trap to save you; you two have a really good relationship."

"Wow, I'm really touched," Lillie replied sarcastically, her face expressionless.

She actually quite liked the way Hunter J looked, gnashing his teeth in anger, yet too intimidated by the pressure and ransom to lay a hand on her.

Although her intuition told her that Wei Xin's main purpose in infiltrating the spaceship was probably not to save her.

However, she learned an old saying in Donghuang.

A gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions.

Moreover, the two Wei Xins running around in the surveillance footage seemed somewhat different from the Wei Xins she remembered.

Well, Wei Xin, you're being too fake.
