The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 190 Martial Arts Town and the Stone Cave

By the time Lin Ye and Teng Shu arrived in Wudou Town, it was already evening, and the sea was gilded with gold by the setting sun.

The main town of Wudu Town is built on the inner side of the arc-shaped bay at the eastern end of the island. The streets are built along the mountain, with crisscrossing stone steps, and traces of the training and work of Fighting-type Pokémon can be seen everywhere.

Ironclad and Machamp help with loading and unloading goods, and Old Craftsmen serve as construction and renovation workers. It can be said that Fighting-type Pokémon are integrated into every aspect of Dewford Town.

In addition, the people of Wudou Town are known for their fierce and martial spirit. Trainers dressed in martial arts uniforms can be seen everywhere on the streets. Some are running on the beach with their Flying Kick trainers, while others are practicing their boxing techniques with their Quick Punch trainers in open spaces.

Even the way the old lady carried her vegetable basket had a bit of a horse stance, giving the whole town a rough feel.

"That's our martial arts dojo over there. It's quite large. After all, not counting the apprentices and staff, there are several thousand people, including the direct descendants and collateral descendants of our martial arts family."

After passing the gym, continue forward to reach the famous Stone Cave, which attracts many adventurers every year.

Teng Shu was very talkative and kept introducing Lin Ye to various aspects of Wudou Town along the way. Lin Ye was also very happy to make such a friend.

Along the way, the two got along better and better. Lin Ye took the initiative to reveal his identity and purpose of coming, and Teng Shu also said that he had some say in the family and would help Lin Ye communicate.

Lin Ye's primary task was to find Xiao Yao. He had called her as soon as he arrived in Wudou Town and learned that she was now at the Wudou Dojo.

When Lin Ye met her, Xiao Yao was sitting in the VIP reception room of the martial arts dojo, with a thick stack of documents in front of her and a cup of freshly brewed coffee next to her. She seemed to be receiving good treatment, which put Lin Ye's mind at ease.

When Xiaoyao saw Lin Ye push the door open and enter, she jumped up from her chair and ran to him in a few strides. She first looked him up and down to make sure he wasn't injured, then glanced at Tengshu and asked, "And this is...?"

"Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend, Xiaoyao, and this is the young patriarch of the Wudou family, who is also the current acting head of the Wudou Dojo. I met him not long after I arrived on the island, and we have become friends now."

"But you, why didn't you wait for me? You went to the martial arts dojo all by yourself, and they seem to value you quite a bit."

"Hmph~, martial arts dojos aren't that easy to talk to. They made things difficult for me when I came in."

Finally, I demonstrated my "Gym Leader level" skills and then revealed that my father was the Gym Leader of Petalburg City before they took me seriously.

"Gym Leader of Orange Blossom Dojo, Miss Haruka is actually the daughter of Gym Leader Senri!" Fujiki exclaimed in astonishment. "It's an honor to meet you. We apologize on behalf of our family and the dojo for the poor treatment we caused you before."

"Fujiki, you were with me the whole time and knew nothing about this, so why should you apologize?" Lin Ye then continued, "And what happened next?"

"Later, an elder came to receive us personally. He was incredibly kind, but when it came to specific plans, he started dodging the question and just wouldn't budge."

"Sigh~, it was our family that did something wrong. No matter what, we shouldn't have detained the ship."

Don't worry, I'll go ask the family member in charge of this matter in a bit and help you resolve it as soon as possible.

"By the way, I still need to have someone investigate the matter of Ether Park selling us prohibited drugs. They might leave before they even leave the fighting area."

Although Fujiki was young, he was the future heir of the martial arts dojo and held a special position. With his mediation, the two sides quickly entered the negotiation stage again.

However, the elder in the Fighting Family who was in charge of trade with Alola turned out to be the same Fujima who had found the Lilycove Gym back then.

They continued their heated debate, each sticking to their own opinions. Xiaoyao also used her father's reputation to exert pressure. The two sides talked until very late, but failed to reach a conclusion.

But overall, they did not come away empty-handed.

Compared to their previous reluctance to relinquish their status as a trading hub, the martial arts dojo has now softened its stance, stating that it is willing to give up a portion of its share.

However, the two sides have not yet finalized the respective percentages of the amount allocated to each other.

Seeing that the day was not over, Lin Ye and Xiao Yao decided to find a place to rest and continue talking to them the next day. However, they ran into Teng Shu again when they went out.

"Lin Ye, Miss Qianli, you've reached an agreement with Uncle Fujima!"

"Not yet, but it's a big step forward. Hopefully, we can reach an agreement by tomorrow."

Teng Shu nodded, about to say something, when a person wearing a martial arts dojo robe rushed up to him. He glanced at Lin Ye and Xiao Yao subconsciously, his lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.

Teng Shu waved his hand: "Master Lin is my friend, no need to hide anything, just say it."

The apprentice lowered his voice and reported, "Young Master, the matter you asked me to investigate has been clarified."

Among the merchants who came with the Alola cargo ship, there are a few suspicious individuals. They did not participate in the normal cargo handover process, but instead secretly met with some high-ranking members of our gym. They are very likely the people you are looking for.

Furthermore, for some reason, these people didn't return to the ship after disembarking; instead, they kept inquiring about something throughout Wudou Town.

Teng Shu frowned slightly: "Where are they now?"

"Someone saw them heading towards the Stone Cave, about an hour ago."

"Stone Cave! Strange! Shouldn't these people be here to sell contraband? What are they doing running into a cave in the middle of the night?"

Teng Shu turned to look at Lin Ye, his expression apologetic: "I should have done my best to be a good host, but I have to investigate this matter myself."

Moreover, this group is acting suspiciously; they might have some scheme in Wudou Town. I must go there myself to check it out.”

"Since Xiaoyao and I don't have anything urgent to do, let's go together. Although I don't believe that you, Fujiki, can't handle those people from Ether Paradise, it's always good to have one more person."

Furthermore, I was involved in the banned substances incident before, and I'd like to meet these accomplices who harmed Infernal Monkey.

The entrance to the Stone Cave is located at the foot of the mountain on the north side of Wudou Town. It is a naturally formed limestone cave with a large entrance, about seven or eight meters high.

The interior has many branching paths, and those unfamiliar with it could wander around for a whole day without finding their way out. It also harbors some powerful wild Pokémon, attracting countless trainers to embark on adventures.

After the three entered the Stone Cave, Lin Ye released the Azure Flame Blade Demon in front of them as a light source.

Fujiki also released Çalhan and introduced the cave to the two of them. Because he was familiar with the route, he moved quickly.

They walked until they reached a very deep part of the cave, where Lin Ye and Charem almost simultaneously sensed a fluctuation of energy.
