My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 100 Handsome Guy and Machiavelli

"Kame! Kame! Haa!!!"

With another roar, a powerful shockwave followed.

Sweetie looked closely and realized that the three enormous Pokémon were actually three Blastoises.

Confronting them were two people dressed in very strange ways.

"Oh my!" Sweetie exclaimed and quickly hid behind a rock. Minifu and the Celebi also quickly concealed themselves.

"Wow?" The two Celebi thought Slimane would just rush in and join the battle, but for some reason Slimane seemed to have become much smarter.

The long-eared rabbits and curly-eared rabbits were so frightened that they scattered and hid in the bushes, leaving only their tense eyes showing.

One of the two men was wearing a brown overcoat, while the other was covered from head to toe in a black bodysuit.

The person wearing the tight-fitting combat suit blocked Blastoise's water cannon with just one hand, and did so with complete ease.

"It seems the intelligence was correct; those people did indeed conduct some kind of experiment here."

"Maquiel, calm them down."

"learn."

Wearing her battle suit, Machiavelle rushed towards the three Blastoises at incredible speed. She already possessed astonishing strength, and after donning the battle suit developed by Team Cinderace, she was even called a "humanoid Pokémon" by the handsome guy.

"Go to sleep."

Machiel threw a punch, striking Blastoise's belly with a powerful, short-range strike!

The powerful force created a shockwave that surged and crashed through Blastoise's body!

"Kame!" Blastoise's bloodshot eyes flashed, and its massive body trembled violently, as if the frenzied energy within it had been temporarily frozen by the punch.

It let out a deep, painful roar, and its movements became noticeably slower.

Seeing this, the other two Blastoises became even more ferocious and sprayed water cannons at Machiavelle!

But Machiavel's movements were incredibly fast!

Without even turning around, she used the enhanced senses provided by her combat suit and her own exceptional reflexes to nimbly dodge two intersecting water cannons with a swift sidestep.

The water jet blasted the spot where she had just stood, sending up clouds of mud and sand.

"Handsome uncle! Meow!" Maggie called out in a low voice.

"I'm all set!" The handsome man's voice came from the side. He had somehow moved back to the other side, holding a tranquilizer gun.

He seized the opportunity created by Machiavelli and suddenly pointed his gun at Blastoise!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two tranquilizer darts hit their mark precisely, and Blastoise's body instantly stiffened before it collapsed and fell into a deep sleep.

"Meow—." Meowth, flying in mid-air with its psychic powers, yawned and took care of the last one, finally calming down the commotion caused by the three Blastoises.

The scene fell silent instantly, with only the rustling of the wind through the trees and the sound of waves crashing on the shore in the distance.

The handsome man put away the tranquilizer gun and returned it to his bag. He quickly went over to check on the Blastoises and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were just in a deep sleep.

"Well done, Maggie, Meow-chan."

He nodded, then his sharp gaze swept across the surroundings. "The real culprit that drove Blastoise into a frenzy must have been those people doing something around here."

Maybe they used some kind of device. Let's look around here.

Machiavelle also dismounted from her fighting stance and walked to the handsome man's side. Looking at the unconscious Blastoise, she asked with a hint of worry, "What exactly are the remnants of Team Flare planning to do in Almia?"

"have no idea."

The handsome man's expression turned serious. "Team Galactic, Team Plasma, Team Flare. These organizations that are trying to change the world are really troublesome—."

Judging from the current situation, they must have found something else that they want to use to control wild Pokémon.

"Is it true that since there are no Poké Balls in the Almia region, all Pokémon can be considered to be in a wild state?" Machiel stroked her chin and made her own deduction.

"Anyway, Meow, expand the search area. There must be some clues around here," the handsome man instructed in a low voice.

"Meow." Meow Meow closed its eyes again, its invisible superpower meticulously scanning every inch of the surrounding land and air.

At this moment, the handsome man turned his gaze to the back of the rocks, his tone softening slightly: "Alright, little guys behind the rocks, you can come out now. It's safe here."

Slimie, Minifox, and Curly-eared Turtles cautiously peeked out, while the two Celebi quietly disappeared and went to Blastoise's side to treat them.

Sweet Wuni looked at the three Blastoises lying motionless on the ground, then at the two powerful humans in front of her, her little face full of lingering fear and curiosity.

"Huh?"

Looking at the Pokémon that were clearly frightened but still remained vigilant, the handsome man crouched down, looked at Slimy at eye level, and tried to make his tone sound as friendly as possible.

"We are not strange people. Those three Blastoises were manipulated by bad guys. We are investigating this incident."

Machiavel also came over. She took off the helmet of her battle suit, revealing a gentle face, trying to reassure the Pokémon: "It's alright now, don't be afraid."

Sweet Wuni blinked her big eyes, seemingly understanding their goodwill, and relaxed her guard a little.

"In short, this area is not safe, you should leave quickly."

Sweetie nodded. Although she enjoyed adventure games, she didn't want to actually encounter danger. It was best to call it a day and leave with the berries.

She tugged at Minifox and waved her little hand at the Curly-eared creatures hiding in the grass, signaling it was time to retreat.

"Oh my!"

The little ones immediately sprang into action. Sweetie and Mini Fu quickly picked some tree fruits, and the Curly-eared ones also helped to pick some up.

A group of Pokémon carefully and quietly made their way back along the path they had come from, glancing back every now and then at the two humans and the unconscious Blastoise.

Only after running a certain distance and completely leaving the valley did Sweet Wuni breathe a sigh of relief and slow down.

"Oh my god—." She patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear as she recalled Blastoise's bloodshot eyes and ferocious appearance.

Mini Fu gently patted her with a leaf to comfort her.

However, the adventure was not without its rewards.

Looking at the package they were holding, filled with various rare tree fruits, their mood improved slightly. These should make Tong Hua very happy, right?

Just then, two Celebi figures quietly appeared beside them, and the Blastoises were no longer harmed.

As those two people said, Blastoise was indeed being manipulated by something.

The two Celebi searched the vicinity and actually found something strange.

It was a red mechanical device that looked like a fire hydrant, standing out in the remote valley. It was that thing that emitted strange electromagnetic waves that drove Blastoise and the others crazy.

The shrines have destroyed the device, but left clues for the two people. However, it remains unknown who placed it, when, and for what purpose.

"Oh my!"

After listening to Sparky's explanation, Slimie suddenly understood, but at the same time felt a little angry that someone would use such a bad thing to harm Pokémon.

"Fou!" Mini Fou shook its leaves angrily.

Even though she knew the truth, Sweet Wu Ni felt it was better to leave these matters to those two seemingly powerful humans.

All she wants now is to get back to the safe ranch as soon as possible and give the delicious tree fruits to Tong Hua.

"Oh my!" she called out to everyone, hugging the tree fruit in her arms tightly.

With everyone gathered together, they felt much more at ease, and Curly-Eared and Long-Eared Rabbit quickened their pace towards the Fairy Tale Ranch.

On the other side, at the beach.

Just as the handsome guy and Machiavelle had settled the three Blastoises and were about to call for backup, Meowth suddenly called out to them.

"Meow!"

When the two arrived at the location indicated by Miaomiao, all they saw was the wreckage of a completely destroyed red device, emitting tiny sparks.

"What's this? Has the self-destruct program been activated?"

"They probably installed a listening device on the device, and it self-destructed because it knew we'd discovered it."

After listening to Maggie's analysis, the handsome man frowned and bent down to examine the object carefully.

"They're really cunning, and now they should realize we've found out. They might be even more secretive in their future actions."

In short, let's protect the scene first. These wreckage pieces can be handed over to others later.

"clear."

A few hours later, a special operations team was dispatched from the Rangers' Alliance headquarters on the Line Drawing Plateau.

They traveled by water, disguising themselves as ordinary fishing boats to land ashore. After meeting up with the handsome guy and Machiavelle, they took the remains of the mysterious device, along with the three Blastoises, with them.

Meanwhile, Tong Hua, who had just returned from shopping, was unaware that many significant secrets were hidden in the back mountains of her family's ranch—
