Chapter 45 The Righteous Values ​​of Dragon Taming, Justice, and Crossing

Being stared at by a group of powerful figures around her, Pear Blossom felt as if Emperor Xuan of Han was surrounded by a group of Huo Guangs—she felt like she had thorns in her back.

A-Du spoke first: "As the first person in the entire house to encounter the Joker two nights ago, do you know what his purpose was in infiltrating this place?"

Pear Blossom recalled for a moment, opening her mouth several times, but looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

If the Joker wasn't lying, then his intentions were indeed good.

That is, he suspected that Aldus, one of the four kings of the Quartz League, or the Cai Shen family, the richest family in the Johto region, had other plans.

It's already a miracle that those wild Pokémon locked up in their own storage rooms don't seek revenge on humans.

You want them to live peacefully with humans and become domesticated elves? That's ridiculous.

After being enlightened by the Joker, Rika also felt something was strange.

As a Champion-level trainer, Aldus shouldn't be unable to understand such a simple question, right?

However, she couldn't say it outright.

After all, the other party is one of the four kings of the alliance. Wouldn't saying this offend them to death?

Moreover, that Mr. Cai was someone my father wanted to curry favor with.

"No, I don't know. I just wanted to go into the storage room to see the Pokémon, and then I met Joker and his companion."

Pear Blossom kept her head down and forced herself to speak.

"Is that so..."

Adu is not a psychology expert.

But he was also quite knowledgeable, and seeing that Pear Blossom didn't dare to look people in the eye, he knew that she definitely wasn't telling the truth.

At least, she didn't tell everyone she knew.

"When you ran away from home the day before yesterday, did the Joker approach you? Those Lulubies he released seem to be of the same kind as the one you took."

According to the habits of the Derubi species, they prefer to live in groups.

A-Du keenly noticed a problem and said in a deep voice:

"Where did the Ruby you took go? According to their clan's custom, they should reunite afterward. As for the other three Rubys, they were taken away by the Joker..."

A-Du's words caused Pear Blossom's expression to change drastically.

Yes, she remembered!

The other three Derubis were rescued by the Joker.

And this morning, they appeared at that nasty doctor's house.

It's possible that the three Derubis approached him after he fainted.

Then he was rescued by that annoying guy again.

But upon careful recollection, Rika realized that Deruby's attitude towards that annoying guy had been far too affectionate.

While the other Derubis didn't "hate" humans as much as their own, they at least "disliked" them.

How could they be so affectionate towards humans?

If you really had to think of a human that the Derubis might be affectionate towards.

She could only think of one thing—

Their savior, the Joker!

In other words, those two nasty characters are the same person!?

Notice the fleeting change in Pear Blossom's face.

Adu squinted and said:

"It seems you do possess some information we don't know. Could you tell me?"

Pear Blossom bit her lip, "I...I don't know, I really don't know..."

Now Pear Blossom understood why Su Sheng had kicked him out.

But I cannot betray him!

At that moment, everyone in the hall realized that something was wrong.

And Mr. Cai also discovered the blind spot.

"Little Rinka, did Joker treat the injury on your hand?"

Li Yue also frowned, staring at her daughter's left elbow, which was wrapped in bandages.

"No, that's not it!"

Pear Blossom quickly hid her hands behind her back.

However, her overreaction only deepened everyone's suspicions.

Aldus, who had been silent all along, finally spoke:

"If Miss Rinka really doesn't want to speak up, why don't you let my Alakazam do it for her?"

As he spoke, Aldus's Hudi jumped out on its own.

Everyone instantly understood what Aldus meant.

He's going to use hypnosis!

Pear Blossom's pretty face turned deathly pale.

She certainly understood how terrifying hypnosis could be.

Under hypnosis, any human being will reveal all the secrets hidden in their heart.

"Father!"

Pear Blossom could only turn to her father, Pear Moon, for help.

However, after a brief moment of contemplation, Rie's answer made Rie feel as if she had fallen to the bottom of an abyss.

"Can."

Pear Blossom's pupils instantly lost focus.

Why?

Pear blossoms clearly lacked social skills and understanding of human relationships.

The day before yesterday, her Deruby almost bit off Aldus's arm, making Liyue's situation in the city's business district extremely awkward.

This can be considered "paying back the debt".

"No!"

However, although Riri, who is a father, agreed, two people objected.

One of them is the kind-hearted Damaranchi.

The other one, which was a bit of a surprise, was A-Du.

Damaranchi frowned deeply. "Liyue, using hypnosis on people is very dangerous."

Not everyone is a super rookie like Ash, who gets hit by Thunderbolt and Flamethrower every day and doesn't seem to mind.

For humans, the power of Pokémon is far too great.

Allowing superpowers to invade the brain, if not controlled properly, could potentially turn a person into an idiot.

Damaranchi even explicitly opposed Officer Jenny's use of this interrogation method on criminals.

A-du also said, "She is not a criminal, there is no need to use this method."

Although A-Du felt that Team Rocket and the Shadows were criminal organizations that deserved to die.

Adu would absolutely agree with using hypnosis on them.

But Pear Blossom is not a criminal, and A-Du would not, nor would he deign to, use such methods.

It can only be said that A-Du, who hasn't turned evil yet and wants to carry out the "Human Purge Plan," still has pretty good values.

That is, he didn't encounter the Rockets.

"Never mind, the child just got home, it's not good for so many of us to surround her and ask her so many questions."

Damaranchi spoke again:

"Let the child go home and rest first, get a good night's sleep, and then we'll talk about it."

The Alliance President has spoken.

The others didn't know what to say and got up to leave.

"Pear Blossom, from today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the house, no, you are not allowed to leave your room even once."

Li Yue said coldly.

Pear Blossom silently went upstairs to her room.

"Oh my, I've seen quite a few strange things on my occasional trip out. It's true that if you live long enough, you'll encounter all sorts of things."

After leaving the house, Elder Long said with a smile.

"Brother Long, this is no small matter."

Damaranchi could only manage a wry smile.

The Joker incident can be said to have caused the league to lose face.

What made Damaranchi even more uneasy was that the kid seemed to be gaining more and more fans among the general public.

"Adu, they've openly challenged you. You can't let yourself be looked down upon as a 'critic'."

Elder Long, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, jokingly said to Adu.

His main concern was that Adu's path to success had been too smooth, and he felt it necessary to give him a warning.

"snort!"

Adu had a thousand words to say in response to his grandfather's teasing, but it was all contained in that one displeased "humph".
