Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

In the eastern part of Jiayuan City, on Route 209, there was a scene of devastation.

A deep crater was blasted into the middle of the road, and trees all around it fell down.

"Miss Zhulan, it's fortunate that you arrived in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stop these two poachers on my own."

Melissa, the Gym Leader of the Family Dojo, lifted the hem of her skirt, which was slightly torn from the battle, and thanked the blonde girl in front of her.

Zhu Lan waved her hand, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"That's strange, why don't they show any intention of running away?"

"run?"

Melissa looked at her strangely. With your strength, they would have to be able to escape.

"Being unable to run away and not wanting to run away are two different things."

As if understanding this, Zhu Lan explained.

"When I first arrived, that hunter with the Staraptor could have easily escaped by abandoning a few of his main Pokémon, but he chose to fight head-on."

This is why most Pokémon hunters who are caught are not very strong.

Hunters with real skill and resources almost always have a Flying-type Pokémon.

The purpose is to enable a rapid evacuation in times of crisis.

When all they want to do is escape, unless they have overwhelming strength, most gym owners, even the top-tier gym owners, cannot hold back those powerful poachers.

"Perhaps he's unwilling to give up his..."

Melissa laughed halfway through her sentence.

Based on her understanding of poachers, the stronger they are, the more ruthless they are.

Abandoning Pokémon is a common occurrence.

After all, their earning speed makes it much easier for them to train elite or even Gym Leader-level Pokémon than ordinary people.

"Things are settled here, so I'll be leaving now."

Unable to figure it out, Zhu Lan stopped dwelling on it.

It's a good thing that two powerful Pokémon hunters have been captured in succession.

After saying goodbye to Melissa, Cynthia rode Garchomp back onto the Eterna Gym.

"I wonder how the Oreki Dojo challenge is going? Who's faster?"

I couldn't wait to open "Pikachu" and enter Oreki's live stream room.

Huh? It's over?

Wait, a black screen live stream?

What should I do? Judging from the noise, Oreki-sensei doesn't seem to have the upper hand.

Indeed, the greater the pressure, the less you talk; the less you talk, the calmer you become; and the calmer you are, the less pressure you feel. Therefore, the greater the pressure, the less pressure you experience.

[Fun fact: He hasn't spoken for almost a minute]

After reading the first few comments, Zhu Lan felt inexplicably smug.

In the end, I was the one with the better skills and took down the poacher first.

Click.

Zhu Lan took a screenshot and then took a selfie as evidence.

When she switched back to the live stream, she saw a new comment.

"No, am I the only one who finds this strange? His two Pokémon can really hold their own against Salamence?"

That is to say, and I think I even heard them shout "Dragon King Scorpion" on the other end.

"?"

Zhu Lan was completely bewildered.

Why are both Salamence and Dragon Scorpion showing up?

Does the vegetable garden have these two Pokémon?

Then look down.

Did that troll not call the police?

[Stop making baseless accusations; would I lie about something that involves human lives?!]

Before Zhu Lan could react, a familiar voice came from the phone.

"Oh no, watch out for the forest!"

"Vegetable Seed, immediately evacuate the Pokémon from the forest!"

"Ah! Miss Officer Jenny, you've come at the perfect time. Hurry up and help the Vegetable Garden owner."

"!"

Bamboo Orchid immediately contacted the alliance.

The league responded quickly.

Two more Pokémon hunters have appeared at the Eternal City Gym, one of whom is suspected to be Hunter Leader J. Wusong and the recently arrived Black Gold City Gym Leader, Piaotai, are already on their way to provide support.

This brings us to an unwritten rule of the Sinnoh League.

The release of new missions will not notify professional trainers who are currently performing old missions, in order to prevent them from being affected by the news and causing their missions to fail.

Because Hunter J's base is in Sinnoh, poachers are most rampant there.

There have been cases where professional trainers, while trying to capture Pokémon hunters, were distracted by a new quest notification and were attacked by the hunters, resulting in a failed capture.

Clutching her phone tightly, Zhu Lan bent down and hugged Garchomp's dorsal fin, her voice icy cold.

"Fastest speed."

"roar!!"

Sensing the urgency in the trainer's tone, Garchomp's eyes instantly sharpened.

That jerk! I haven't even gotten my revenge yet, who dares to bully him!

(╬▔盘▔)

...

At this time, the interior of the Hyakudai Dojo was also in a mess.

The central forest has been largely burned down, and the flames are continuing to spread outwards.

Chosoka has followed Oreki's advice and sent out all of her second and third teams of Pokémon to evacuate the Pokémon, while trying to stop the flames from spreading.

Unfortunately, all her Pokémon are Grass-type!

The only Water-type Pokémon, Ludicolo, was one she had recently bred and evolved to fill in gaps in her knowledge.

Faced with such a massive fire, the sprayed foam beams were utterly inadequate.

Not to mention, the man in red kept adding fuel to the fire.

The only saving grace was that Officer Jenny from Baidai City arrived just in time.

Arcanine can help relieve the pressure of being countered by her type.

"They clearly came prepared!"

The vegetable seed felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Since she became the owner of the museum, she has never encountered any violent incidents.

The occasional Pokémon disturbances that occur in Eternia Forest are also suppressed by her absolute power.

This was indeed the first time she had encountered a hunter who only thought about destruction and attacking trainers and weak Pokémon.

There is absolutely no solution.

"We can't give up on the vegetable seeds now."

Officer Jenny directed Arcanine to disrupt the red-clad man's fire attack, then pointed to Oreki in the distance.

The vegetables were then viewed in a specific direction.

"right!"

She shook her head sharply to clear her mind, and her eyes hardened.

Although it's a bit strange to think this way, but—

Oreki is still locked in fierce combat with Salamence and the others; there's no reason for him to give up first!

"The Earthquake of the Tortoise, the Petal Dance of Roserade..."

Upon seeing this.

Officer Jenny forced a smile and continued to command Arcanine to limit the opponent's fire.

the other side.

Hunter J's feelings right now can't be described as complicated.

If I had to express my thoughts in one sentence, it would be similar to those low-level hunters who captured New Leaf Cat back then.

What exactly is this thing that I want to bring back to the base?

Frustrated, she saw Oreki once again cross his arms to withstand the dragon's claws, then sink down and deliver a powerful whip kick, causing the dragon to stumble and hurriedly use its wings to maintain its balance.

Then, as if it were a prophetic foresight, it used its supporting leg to rotate to the side, dodging Manneken Pis's sneak attack on a vital spot.

It was clear that the Dragon King Scorpion's missiles had anticipated his movements.

As a result, Shin-chan's Magic Leaf, aided by Kirlia's Psychic Power, cut in, buying Oreki a little more time to continue dodging.

The teamwork of one person with two Pokémon was flawless.

but…

Whose wild fighting trainer is at the forefront?

That's not how you fight in the wild, you bastard!

J really wanted to send out Ariados to restrain Oreki, but when he thought about how he was almost ambushed and killed by Kirlia earlier, he quickly gave up the idea.

She now deeply regrets underestimating Oreki and leaving two of her main Pokémon to guard the base.

If we give it our all, we might just succeed!

But then she couldn't help but think, even if she succeeded, what would happen then?

When you're training someone, do you really need three Pokémon to hold them down?

Who'll be training whom then?!

"Boss, a hunter has reported that the Black Gold Gym Leader, Hyouta, and the Psychic Elite Four member, Gosho, are heading to the Eternal Gym. Champion Cynthia is also rushing back at an extremely fast speed. Please finish this quickly."

Suddenly, a subordinate's report came through the earpiece.

J's breath caught in his throat.

A swift and decisive victory?

I'd rather finish this quickly!
