Chapter 726 A Veteran Mentors a Newbie (Not Really)

Akita Prefecture, Moriyoshiyama area.

"You don't even know about supply points?!"

The girl who called herself Xiaoxia was shocked. Looking at Xiaozhi's expression, it was as if she were seeing a hominid that had not yet fully evolved.

"What is this supply point?"

Xiao Zhi's eyes are clear, full of beauty untouched by the pollution of knowledge.

Snapped,
Xiaoxia raised her hand to her forehead, speechless.

"You don't even know these things, how dare you come out to cultivate!"

"No, this is from the 'Extraordinary Avoidance' course, a compulsory subject in elementary school. Were you sleeping through class?"

"Haha, this...that."

Seeing Xiaozhi's embarrassed expression and shifty eyes, Xiaoxia gasped.

He originally thought that he came from a top-tier extraordinary family and was quite knowledgeable; but now he realized that he had underestimated the heroes of the world. No, this guy was completely unrelated to heroes.

He's just a complete idiot!

After glancing at Ash's charred body, Misty thought to herself:
He's probably just a muscle-bound idiot.

"Simply put, because of the dangers in the wild, the government has built concealed 'supply points' in many places to provide rest, supplies, and shelter for personnel carrying out missions in the field. Like here—"

I walked up to a rock, took out my phone, and scanned it.

"Welcome to Supply Point Q426, Ms. Kasumi Hanakain. We hope you have a pleasant rest here."

As the electronic sound played, the rocks in front of us slowly opened to the sides, revealing a smooth metal passage.

"What are you standing there for? Come in."

"Huh? Oh! Wait for me~~"

Ash, carrying Pikachu, quickly entered the passage, with the dark-skinned Lickitung huffing and puffing as it followed.

After the girl who called herself 'Xiaoxia' manipulated her phone, the passage behind her closed silently. From the inside, it could be seen that the rocks outside were just a disguise, and the heavy alloy door inside was strong enough to withstand ordinary wolf-level attacks.

Wow, there's actually such a big space inside!

Ash, holding Pikachu, looked as shocked as a country bumpkin visiting the city, much to the chagrin of Misty, a city dweller herself.

"Shouldn't schools teach this kind of thing?"

really,

You must be sleeping through class, right?
The island nation's wilderness is fraught with danger. It is infested with omnipresent evil spirits, and in the northern regions, there are extraordinary creatures that have spread from the Great Mao and the Sky Continent. In addition, the island nation's mountainous and forested areas account for as much as 71% of its land area. If left unchecked, these areas will soon become "extraordinary lairs" for evil spirits and rare beasts.

So it's not just Akita Prefecture,

The island nation's government has established these supply points inside mountains in many areas in the 'wilderness'.

These supply points were established by extraordinary individuals skilled in earth magic, and with the use of large 'sealing scrolls' to transport supplies, their construction was not particularly difficult.

"There's enough food, medicine, and communication equipment here; feel free to take as much as you want, but don't waste it—I'm talking to you, aren't you going to keep an eye on your pig?"

"Ah, Lick Pig, go sit over there!"

Under Ash's command, the creature covered in white bone armor—no, it was a 'tusked boar'—lay down in a corner looking aggrieved.

Even if he is a pig, he is an extraordinary pig. He has a high level of intelligence and knows how to 'adapt to circumstances': otherwise, these two human cubs would have been able to roast him over a fire.

"Here's some frozen food. Heat it up and that's all you'll have for dinner tonight."

Xiaoxia opened the refrigerator at the supply point and took out several bags of food.

He pointed to the kitchen next door.

"OK,"

Ash put Pikachu down and began preparing dinner, but:

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I eat the lunchbox I brought myself."

Xiaoxia took out a scroll, placed it on the table, opened it, and held up two fingers.

"untie,"

Thump,

As the smoke rose, a luxurious multi-layered bento box appeared on the scroll: judging from its steaming appearance, it clearly had the ability to keep warm.

As a direct descendant of the Kasakain family, it is an ironclad rule that one cannot drink water or eat food indiscriminately when outside.

Many heroes have fallen victim to poison.

"Come on, Pikachu, let me feed you."

"Pikachu~~"

The girl opened the luxurious multi-layered bento box and waved: Pikachu immediately came running over, wagging its tail.

It's not that the rich girl's food is particularly delicious, but rather that the other party has very strong spiritual power: Pikachu can only barely recover a little of its own spiritual power by absorbing the spiritual power of the extraordinary beings around it; anyway, it's Pikachu who's living off a woman, what does it have to do with Raichu?
As for Xiaozhi?

Of course, we should eat frozen food!

"Eat up, this is your portion."

It's just frozen food; it only takes a few minutes to prepare.

Xiao Zhi, who had been relegated to sitting at the same table as pigs, asked questions curiously while eating.

"Xiaoxia, are you an Onmyoji from the Hanakain family?"

The electronic door can't keep secrets; it just announced the girl's full name: Kasumi Hanakain.

"That's right,"

Having been exposed by the supply point's system, Xiaoxia stopped pretending.

"As you know, our family is a bit special, so it's best to keep a low profile when we're out and about."

More than just special, the Keikain family is the number one extraordinary family in the island nation! Leaving aside the hundreds of ferocious Onmyoji within the family, and veteran Oni-level figures like Keikain Yura, Yura's teacher alone—the principal of a high-level sorcery academy—makes the Keikain family an unassailable force in the entire extraordinary world. But at the same time, it's inevitable that some desperate individuals will also target the Keikain family.

The Ashiya Secret Technique of the Kakaiin family is a "path to heaven" that points directly to the Demon level, and judging from Yura's steady improvement, it is not impossible for her to reach the Dragon level.

In such circumstances, there are far too many people willing to take risks; assassinations and kidnappings of members of the Hanakain family have not been unheard of: even though each incident has caused bloodshed, it still cannot stop ambitious individuals.

If I could acquire the secret techniques of the Kakeruin family and become a Demon-level powerhouse, I could always follow Teach's example and become a 'space pirate' in outer space.

Anyone with eyes to see knows why Teach launched the 'Great Space Era'—it's because he's afraid of running out of resources one day!

by that time,
Then they can 'plunder' from those who come after them.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary for Kasumi Hanakain to be careful.

Of course, there's no need to be wary of this guy sitting at the same table as the pig.

"Speaking of which, you just went out like this?"

Where are the elders? Where are the parents?

That's incredibly irresponsible! They didn't do any preparation whatsoever, not even instilling basic knowledge about 'supply points'—common knowledge for superhumans venturing out into the world—into them?
If it weren't for her, Pikachu would have been stolen by Team Rocket: Wait, if I had arrived a little later, wouldn't I have...?
He shook his head, banishing the dark thought from his mind.

The family rule of the Huakaiyuan family is: one should always be wary of others, but never harbor thoughts of harming them.

"I have no elders. My father disappeared in a supernatural disaster, and my mother prepared this outfit for me—"

Xiao Zhi pointed to his clothes, shoes, and hat with his thumb, his face full of pride.

"That's enough!"

?

"So, you really don't have any extraordinary teachers?"

No matter how you look at it, Ash doesn't seem like the kind of person who could fool her; besides, Team Rocket is a fairly well-known superhuman organization, and to collude with an ordinary country boy to deal with her: it's not that Kasumi is arrogant, but if something happens to her, the teacher could turn the entire Akita Prefecture upside down.

That's right, her teacher is none other than the famous head of the Hanakain family: Hanakain Yura!
Seeing Xiaozhi shaking his head blankly, Xiaoxia felt a pang of sympathy in addition to her headache.

"How about this, you and I will work together for the next month."

"I'll teach you the rules of the extraordinary world, and—"

The training and battles of extraordinary individuals!
Ok?
Pikachu, nestled in Xiaoxia's arms, was startled for a moment, then secretly delighted.

Fine, he was already speechless with this 'idiot' Ash, so he decided to let this Onmyoji from the Hanakain family teach him the basics.

We just need to wait for Ash to grow up.
With that thought, the yellow mouse in Xiaoxia's arms rolled over contentedly.

"Pikachu~~"

Fukushima Prefecture and Isobo City

Fukushima Prefecture and Akita Prefecture are separated only by Yamagata Prefecture.

Even if the world expands several times over, the distance between the two is still not too far.

No one knew that the headquarters of the extraordinary organization Team Rocket was located in the abandoned Viridian City.

This place was once the site of a nuclear power plant leak disaster, and Team Rocket's famous battle was when they took down Hayami, the president of Toyo Electric Power, which made them famous.

Because the president was killed, and the power of Orochi later caused the entire planet to expand, this area was abandoned by the island nation's government. Now, it has quietly become the base of the secret organization 'Team Rocket'.

"Based on the information transmitted back,"

Inside the municipal government office building, a middle-aged man in a green military uniform, with only a thin layer of hair and a stern face, sat behind the mayor's desk and slowly began to speak.

"You engaged in combat without authorization during the mission, resulting in Arbok and Gasball being severely injured."

"And the one who defeated you was an elementary school student."

At this point, even the serious-looking middle-aged man in military uniform couldn't help but pause for a moment.

It's unclear whether he was surprised by the strength of the elementary school students or shocked by the incompetence of his subordinates.

"Musashi, Kojiro, Meowth, what do you think about this—"

What's your explanation?
"Boss, here's what happened:"

Upon hearing this, Meow Meow, the 'brain trust' of the trio, stepped forward.

That's right! It's clearly a group of two people and one animal, but the white cat 'Meow Meow' is the one acting as the strategist.

"The opponent's rare beast can unleash an electric attack powerful enough to instantly kill Arbok and Koffing; the trainer can even withstand attacks from Arbok and Koffing. Add to that the intrusion of a passing superhuman, and so..."

It's really not their fault!
It's not that they didn't try, it's just that the other side had a cheat code.

While it may be an excuse, it's not entirely without merit: after all, the cameras they carried could have brought this information back.

"So, how do you plan to compensate for the losses of Arbok and gas bombs?"

The soldier-like 'leader' neither confirmed nor denied Miao Miao's explanation, but instead directly posed the question.

The long-haired beauty and the young man with a center parting exchanged a glance and then stepped forward to bow.

"Boss," ×2
"We are willing to make amends and bring back that rare beast named 'Pikachu'!"

"This time, I definitely won't let you down!"

In any case, losing to elementary school students is too shameful; this shame can only be washed away with victory.

"it is good,"

The middle-aged soldier behind the desk looked up, his cold, hard gaze sweeping over the two people and the cat.

"I grant you permission to carry wolf-level rare beasts,"

"What if we fail this time—"

Then bring me your head.

The Rockets don't tolerate idle players!
