The Mystery of Qiu Zhanggui

"That's all I can tell you about the actual situation. You should first report the intelligence to the Alliance. In short, senior brother, you should stay in the next town for the day and not come back, especially not to the research center."

"What do you mean I shouldn't do anything stupid? My senior sister didn't try anything with me, although it's true that it's hard for female PhD students to find partners."

If you work a little harder, you'll become a Saint Seiya.

"Neither my senior brother nor my master! I'm just asking you to be away on business for one more day, not to lead a group to raid the research center tomorrow."

Do you think I'm a quiet, reserved classmate who suddenly tells you not to come to school the next day?

"If I really wanted to target the research center, do you think I would let you off the hook? Forget you, I'd chop the unicorns at the research center in half. If you keep thinking like that, believe me, I'll tell the professor you've been badmouthing him!"

"I recorded what you just said about the professors and senior female students. If you don't want others to know, you'd better listen to my instructions."

"Senior brother, you don't want people to find out that you've been talking badly about Master, your senior brothers, and your senior sisters, do you?"

"By the way, senior brother, find a place later and send the Mimi-Mound to me first."

After trying to persuade his senior, who had just returned from a business trip, to believe that he wasn't being bullied at school, Wei Xin, who was both perverse and explosive in his silence, and after instructing his senior to pass on information to the alliance, hung up the phone.

"Why don't we go outside the city? We'll have more freedom of movement then," Mary suggested in the dormitory.

In the city, the number of people carrying metal rings has stabilized. If this is the limit for the Dream Eater, then Pokémon hunters may have already begun preparing for their next move.

Moreover, the city is heavily monitored, and with Pokémon hunters in control of the police department, their every move is being watched by Pokémon hunters.

Intelligence is always the primary resource in a confrontation. With their intelligence far behind that of the enemy, Wei Xin and Ma Li were constrained at every turn.

There was no chance to elbow the opponent.

Wei Xin shook his head: "On the contrary, it is safest for us to stay in the city. If the Pokémon hunters' goal is just to escape Donghuang, then they cannot directly harm the residents of the city."

Taking hostages brings temporary safety, but harming hostages means facing a sniper who can blow your head off from 800 miles away.

Pokémon hunters are waiting, the League is waiting, everyone is waiting for the moment when change will occur.

"In contrast, if we encounter a Pokémon hunter in the wild, we may be met with a fierce counterattack, or even be taken away as a hostage to threaten the League and force them to leave Donghuang safely."

In this situation, acting rashly could affect the alliance's rescue efforts or even lead to the worst possible outcome.

"Moreover, it is more convenient to obtain intelligence in the city."

Whether you stay put in the city or try to find Pokémon hunters and catch them off guard by surprise, ensuring your own safety is the top priority.

In addition, upon further examining the behavioral logic of Pokémon hunters, Wei Xin discovered a suspicious point.

Given that Celebi was already confirmed to be within the territory of the Eastern Empire, why would a Pokémon hunter, who was planning to escape the Eastern Empire, specifically go to the research center to search for Celebi's information?

Are they planning to wait for a rabbi to come to them, and see if they can find a rabbi in other areas?

"We still lack information," Wei Xin sighed.

I wish I had a Ghost-type Pokémon, so it could become invisible, pass through walls, and deliver information.

If we can find out the opponent's action time and escape route, we can contact the Sinnoh Champion. There are troops in the Eastern Empire to capture and attack them, while outside the Eastern Empire, the Sinnoh Champion and her invincible Garchomp are eagerly waiting.

Pokémon Hunter: I laugh at the Eastern Emperor's lack of strategy and Cynthia's lack of wisdom.

Wei Xin: Does Ru Xiao make your mother laugh?

"Ralu~"

"Mobe~"

During the conversation, Ralts and Morpeko walked up to Wei Xin, looked up at his face, and touched their stomachs, which were feeling a bit hungry.

"Alright, you can't think or work on an empty stomach. Let's take care of dinner first," Wei Xin said. "We also need to go to the Pokémon Center on the way to pick up Mimikyu."

……

They contacted their senior and learned that the League had made contact with Pokémon Hunters and was currently in the negotiation stage, but the specific details were unknown to them because their levels were not high enough.

Wei Xin and Mary returned to their dormitory, carrying the Poké Ball that their senior had teleported over.

"Come out, little guy." Wei Xin pressed the button on the Poké Ball and released Mimikyu.

"Mimi?" Mimikyu landed on the table in the room, tilting her head in confusion (if the bag on her body could be considered her head). The ears on the bag twitched slightly, realizing that she was in an unfamiliar environment.

"Long time no see, Mimikyu." Standing behind Mimikyu, Wei Xin said to Mimikyu.

"Chiu!" Upon hearing the familiar voice, Mimikyu trembled. It felt as if countless tentacles were wriggling under the bag. After struggling to turn around, a pair of black beady eyes saw a familiar face.

"Mimikyu!" Mimikyu leaped up and jumped into Wei Xin's arms. Like a little spider, Mimikyu ran all the way to Wei Xin's chest, jumped onto Wei Xin's shoulder, and affectionately rubbed against Wei Xin's face.

Boss, I miss you.

"Okay, okay, I missed you too." Wei Xin tilted his head and made close contact with Mimikyu.

"Is this Mimikyu your Pokémon?" Marie asked.

"Mimikyu!" At this moment, Mimikyu noticed that several pairs of curious eyes, including those of Marie, Ralts, Troll, and Croagunk, were staring straight at it.

Even his own actions had been witnessed by the other party.

"Chirp~" The mimic chirp's whole face turned red, although Wei Xin didn't know the principle behind the cloth cover's blushing.

Mimi Qiu huddled behind Wei Xin's neck, head bowed, and wisps of white steam slowly drifted out from under the cloth cover.

To do it in front of everyone, Mimikyu was so embarrassed.

"Not yet." Wei Xin placed the Mimikyu on the table.

"Chirp~" Mimikyu lowered its head in disappointment, and a small black hand emerged from under the cloth cover, drawing circles on the table.

It's really okay. It's good to be able to meet up occasionally or go on a business trip together.

I never intended to stay together forever.

Looking at Mimikyu, so dejected, like an abandoned little animal, it was as if it were about to find a pillow at night, bury its face in it, and grieve alone.

Wei Xin smiled and ruffled Mimikyu's hair: "But the professor has already agreed to hand her over to me. After the freshman tournament, she and Eevee will officially become members of our family."

As for now, given the special circumstances, we can always apply for a temporary application at the research center afterwards.

Upon hearing this, Mimikyu raised its head, its lost eyes regaining their brilliance, staring intently at Wei Xin's face, bouncing around on the table. Although the expression on the cloth bag remained unchanged, one could sense its obvious joy.

I'm about to be promoted from intern to full-time employee.

"Ralts~" Since she is a new family member, Ralts felt she had to take the initiative to get to know her, since they would be living together in the future.

So she used her psychic powers to take the honey biscuits her trainer had made for her from the table, broke them in half, looked at the biscuits of different sizes in her hand, hesitated, and then handed the slightly larger piece of biscuit to Mimikyu.
