I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

After visiting Shanghai University, Ye Feng went to the public battle arena and found a few new trainers to train Growlithe, helping it get used to the Flamethrower it had just learned.

Then we changed to a hotel near the high-speed rail station, and by the time we arrived, it was already evening.

Lying in bed with my phone, I opened the ticketing app and discovered that it takes four and a half hours to travel from Shanghai to Beijing by high-speed rail, while a flight takes just over two hours.

However, considering that you need to arrive at the airport more than an hour in advance to catch a flight, and that you can't immediately catch a ride after arriving in Beijing, and that it takes a considerable amount of time from landing to parking and then walking to the exit, the overall time difference isn't that significant.

"Let's take the high-speed rail. If the time is about the same, the high-speed rail is more convenient." Ye Feng pressed his finger and bought a ticket for noon the next day.

"Let's eat." Ye Feng checked the time and decided to feed the Pokémon first before going out to forage for food.

"Awooo!" Upon hearing the word "meal," Growlithe happily ran to Ye Feng's feet, wagging its tail and looking expectantly at its shovel... trainer.

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Ye Feng took two bowls, poured a bowl of medium-spicy Energy Cubes for Growlithe, then added a few extra-spicy ones, and patted Growlithe's head; then he poured a bowl of sweet Energy Cubes for Kirlia; Magikarp, on the other hand, preferred sour ones, which was a bit strange.

Hmm, could this Growlithe's ancestral home be Sichuan or Hunan province? Ye Feng stroked his chin, watching the Growlithe happily munching on its spicy cube, his mind wandering. Come to think of it, Zhang Qiang's Charmeleon also quite likes spicy food. Is that how all Fire-type Pokémon are? After all, spiciness can stimulate the throat of Fire-type Pokémon, improving their control over fire—look at those in the anime who breathe fire after eating spicy food, isn't that the principle?

After the three Pokémon had eaten their fill, Ye Feng put Kirlia and Growlithe into their Poké Balls, left Magikarp to watch the room, and went out to find food.

What should we eat today? Ye Feng looked around. This place was quite close to the high-speed rail station, so there were plenty of places to eat.

"Hmm..." Ye Feng's gaze swept over the shops on both sides, and he was a little undecided for a moment - sometimes having too many options can be a problem.

"Crawfish? Hmm, I kind of want to eat some, but at this time of year, they're probably all small and not very meaty. I'll wait a while. I'll go to Jiangcheng to eat crawfish then; they taste really good there." Ye Feng's gaze swept over a barbecue restaurant, lingered briefly, and then moved away.

Ye Feng was walking casually when he passed the entrance of a small alley and vaguely heard strange noises coming from inside.

"Be gentle, you're hurting me!"

"Hey, hurry up!"

"What's the rush? Keep your voice down. What if someone hears you?"

Ye Feng's ears twitched. He stopped, thought for a moment, and glanced around to make sure no one was watching. Then, he quickly and quietly leaned against the alley entrance, tilting his head slightly to eavesdrop.

Inside, there were the voices of a man and a woman, and rustling sounds. Could it be...?

"Hiss! In broad daylight, a man and a woman actually did such a thing?" Ye Feng gasped, listening intently.

"Are you sure it won't wake up?" the woman asked.

"Nonsense, my medicine has a unique formula. It can even take down a Tyranitar, let alone a Larvitar." (Man)

"That's good." (Woman)

"Open the bag a little wider," the man said.

···

"What? We're not doing anything bad." Ye Feng sighed in disappointment, then noticed the key words in their conversation: medicine, Yukira.

"Could they be stealing Pokémon?" Ye Feng stroked his chin, frowned, and listened for a while longer. He confirmed that the two had used anesthesia to incapacitate a Larvitar and were packing it up.

Ye Feng took a few steps back, took out his phone and called the police: "XX Road, alley opposite Chicken Pot, someone has been confirmed to be stealing elves, come quickly."

Putting away his phone, Ye Feng considered for a moment. To prevent the two from escaping, he needed to stall for time.

His eyes lit up, and an idea immediately came to him.

He took a few steps back and then pretended to be walking normally through the alley.

The people inside noticed someone approaching and immediately stopped what they were doing, looking towards the alley entrance, holding their breath as they watched Ye Feng.

Ye Feng was about to pass the alley entrance when he stopped, as if he had sensed something, and turned to look into the alley.

The man and woman immediately tensed up and quickly pushed their bags into the corner.

"You..." Ye Feng turned around and took a step into the alley.

"Y-you, is there something you need?" the man asked nervously.

So nervous? Is this your first offense?

"How much?" Ye Feng's seemingly random question left the two of them bewildered.

"What do you mean, how much?" The man frowned, then suddenly realized what he meant and subconsciously glanced at his female accomplice.

"..." The female accomplice understood as well, and immediately gritted her teeth in anger, making a crunching sound. This guy, this guy actually thought...

"This girl is pretty, and has a good figure. How much do you want?" Ye Feng said impatiently, sounding exactly like someone eager to do *that*.

"This..." The man didn't know what to say for a moment, so he looked at his companion.

"Oh, sorry, brother, are you not finished yet? How about I wait a bit and negotiate the price with her myself?" Ye Feng suddenly realized, took a few steps back and leaned against the alley entrance, glancing inside every now and then.

"What should we do?" the man asked in a low voice.

"Hold on tight, I'll go hold him off," the woman whispered.

"What? You can't really?" the man exclaimed in surprise.

"Are you crazy? I'm not. Didn't you hear what he said? He probably saw my face. We can't just let him leave, or we'll be in trouble," the woman snapped.

The man glanced at his companion's face in the darkness and muttered to himself: Did he really see it? Maybe he's just desperate.

The woman urged him on, then thought for a moment, unbuttoned her coat, pulled down her collar a little, and swayed her hips as she walked toward Ye Feng. When she got closer, she realized he was a very young man with a rather good appearance.

"Handsome guy~~" The woman leaned against the wall and gave Ye Feng a flirtatious wink.

Ye Feng only then saw the woman's face and instinctively wanted to run, but he held back when he thought of Yukira inside.

"All done?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, how about it, now?" the woman said, trying to use what she considered a seductive tone.

"Um... how much?" Ye Feng asked again.

"..." The woman's face twitched, and anger rose in her heart. Did this kid really think she was something special? He looked quite young and handsome, but how could his mind be full of filthy things?

The woman suppressed her anger and held up five fingers... then added three more: "Eight sheets."

"It's a bit expensive." Ye Feng pretended to sized up the woman, then frowned after thinking for a moment.

"Just tell me if you're going to play or not!" the woman snapped, annoyed. She actually thought it was too expensive? Wasn't she worth the price?

"Okay, fine." Ye Feng pretended to reluctantly agree.

"Let's go inside then," the woman said, reaching out to take Ye Feng's arm.

"Wait a minute, I have a peculiar hobby, I don't know if you can accept it?" Ye Feng took a step back.

"..." So much trouble! The woman suppressed her anger, but time was of the essence, so she followed him. "What hobbies? As long as they're not too outrageous..."

“It’s just…” Ye Feng opened his coat and gestured for the woman to look inside.

The coat was only slightly open, so the woman had to take another step forward and peek out.

"This is it!" Ye Feng's eyes turned cold, and he grabbed the woman's head and slammed it against the wall.

"Bang! Bang!" Two muffled thuds rang out. The woman didn't even have time to react before her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Judging from his voice, he's not a bright person," Ye Feng muttered.

"What's that sound? What are you doing?" The man tensed up upon hearing the noise, put down the bag he was carrying, and went outside.

"Your companion has suddenly fainted, come quickly!" Ye Feng shouted anxiously.

"What?" The man was startled and instinctively ran outside. He then saw his companion sitting against the wall, while Ye Feng squatted beside him, looking nervous.

"What happened?" The man rushed over, shoved Ye Feng aside, and knelt down to check on him. He found that his companion's eyes were tightly closed and blood was flowing from his forehead.

"!" The man suddenly realized something was wrong, but before he could get up, he felt a pain in the back of his head, his consciousness began to drift away, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Behind the man, Ye Feng casually tossed aside the brick in his hand, clapped his hands, and said, "As expected of the number one weapon on the weapon ranking list, it's really effective."

Chapter 72 Call Me Lei Feng

After Ye Feng also knocked the man down, the police arrived in their car.

"..." The police officer in charge looked at the man and woman lying on the ground, then glanced at Ye Feng, who looked completely innocent, and fell silent.

After a brief inquiry, the captain waved his hand and said, "Cuff him and take him back."

"Captain, the stolen Pokémon has been found. It's a Tyranitar. The emergency call we just received also involved a Tyranitar, so it's probably the same one." Another police officer emerged from the alley, carrying a gray-green Pokémon in his arms.

"Take him back and have the doctor examine him. Contact the person who called the police and have someone come and claim him," the captain instructed.

"Young man," the captain said, looking at Ye Feng's youthful face, "if it's convenient, come with me to the police station to make a statement."

"Do I have to give a statement?" Ye Feng scratched his head, instinctively feeling some resistance.

“Yes, you were the first to find them, and…” The captain glanced at the two unconscious suspects and gave them a knowing look, “But don’t worry, they’ll be fine.”

"Alright," Ye Feng reluctantly agreed. "Actually, I came out to eat, and we just happened to run into each other..."

"Xiao Liu, order this clever and brave young man a chicken cutlet rice."

"..." Ye Feng really wanted to say that he didn't like chicken cutlet rice, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it. In front of the police officers, although he was a good citizen, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

···

At the police station, Ye Feng recounted (crossed out) the events, emphasizing how he used a scheme to separate the two suspects and then defeat them one by one—as for the scheme itself, he couldn't reveal it, as it would damage his image.

"The idea is good, and the method is also good." The police officer in charge of taking the statement put down his pen, looked at Ye Feng seriously, and said, "But next time you encounter something like this, you must call the police first."

"The first thing I did when I found out was to call the police," Ye Feng said, adding that that's exactly what he did.
