The necromancer of the Pokémon world

Chapter 198 Finally, they made their move.

At the Water Lily Gym, looking at Gladion and Lillie, who had been brought back by Lin Ye, especially the latter with her extremely high looks, Xiaojuer, Xiaoguang, and Qiao Yijing all simultaneously showed a scrutinizing expression.

"Alright, alright, don't look at me with prejudice. These two siblings were being chased and were hiding everywhere. I brought them back for their safety."

Besides, this young man had promised to save my life for two years; I couldn't bear to refuse his sincere offer.

"Oh~, I feel like the older brother is just an afterthought, and you mainly brought them back for the sake of their younger sister."

"Are you planning to turn the dojo into a shelter for pretty girls?" Qiao Yijing poked Lin Ye's shoulder with a finger after each word she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Gladion, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, hid Lillie behind his back.

Lillie blushed. When Lin Ye was "performing" on her, he had touched her body from head to toe. Hearing these words, she felt a strange sensation.

At this moment, Lillie had been mostly healed by Lin Ye. The ghostly black aura on her body had disappeared, and her skin had regained its fair and flawless luster. Combined with her delicate features, she looked like a perfectly crafted porcelain doll.

Qiao Yijing rolled her eyes at him, but still cooperated by arranging a room next to hers for Lillie, so that it would be convenient to take care of her if she had any health problems. It was a kind of doctor's heart.

Little Nebula still followed Lillie closely, but before it drifted away, it looked back at Lin Ye. Although it was still timid, it no longer buried its face in Lillie's hair like it had on the ship.

As for Gladion, a boy who can also be called a genius trainer, Lin Ye already has plans and arrangements, but he doesn't know if Gladion can handle it.

After settling Lillie in, Qiao Yijing put away her playful attitude and solemnly took out a document, saying, "When you were not at home, Officer Jenny came to see you and talked about the underground casino in Shuijing City that you had previously discussed dealing with."

She said that after this period of investigation, the chain of evidence, from casino operations and illegal fund flows to casualty records in underground Pokémon battles, is basically complete.

However, the person in charge behind the casino is Miranda, the captain of the city defense team and the agent of the Liuli family in Shuijing City. Because of his background and the power he wields, there may even be spies planted by the city defense team within the police force, so Officer Jenny dares not take direct action.

She worried that if things didn't work out, not only would they fail to shut down the illegal casino, but they would also destroy all the evidence they had painstakingly gathered overnight.

Lin Ye opened the envelope and quickly flipped through the documents inside. Each page was densely filled with records of the underground casino's operating costs, cash flow, and the list of people involved.

There were even a few key photos of Miranda herself taken with a telephoto lens, but unfortunately, he lacked the skill to take her down on his own.

Lin Ye nodded: "She was right to come to me. Now that I am the Gym Leader of Lilycove City, I have the authority and the strength to do so. She can decide when to make her move."

"Officer Salvia said that things could get complicated if we wait too long, and she doesn't want any more innocent citizens or Pokémon to get hurt, so she wants you to go see her as soon as you get back."

"Understood! I'll go find her right now!" Lin Ye was about to leave when he remembered something and turned back to Gladgio, saying, "I almost forgot, there's another strongman here! You said you'd serve me for two years, now it's time to put in the work. In a ramen shop that looks unremarkable from the outside in the downtown area of ​​Mizuki City, two handsome young men dressed in black were being led in by a one-eyed old man who looked to be about sixty years old."

The two young men were Lin Ye and his follower Glagio, while the old man was a mole that Jun Sha Ran had planted in the Shui Jing underworld, named Lao Jin.

This time, Lin Ye and his two unfamiliar faces were able to find the illegal casino smoothly thanks to this seasoned veteran's guidance.

Actually, Lin Ye originally thought that the illegal casino would be in the port warehouse area or some abandoned factory, but he didn't expect that the door would be the refrigerated cabinet of this ramen shop.

Lin Ye and his companion put on the clothes that Lao Jin had prepared for them and blended into the crowd of late-night gamblers, making it impossible to tell that they were the owners of the gambling den.

Passing through the door disguised as a freezer, a breathtaking view unfolded before me; the scale and luxury of the casino's interior far exceeded my expectations.

The underground space was at least the size of two or three basketball courts, with a large chandelier resembling a crystal chandelier hanging from the dome, and the walls were decorated with dark soundproofing panels, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

In the very center of the hall is a sunken arena shrouded in a barrier, where two Pokémon are locked in a fierce battle: Machamp and Ursaring.

One of the strong man's four arms was hanging limply, and blood was flowing from the torn wound on his right shoulder. The Circular Bear was also covered in injuries, and there was even a noticeable dent in its chest, but no one called for them to stop.

The gamblers surrounding the cage shouted deafeningly, some waving banknotes, others kicking the iron bars, but no one cared about the Pokémon.

Despite being surrounded by a cacophony of shouts, Lin Ye could still clearly sense the intense emotional turmoil of a companion whose mind was connected to his.

That's right! It's Zoroark!

This underground casino was the place that had caused Zoroark immense harm, the place he had promised to destroy.

place.

Previously, we lacked the strength, and after so much back and forth, we are finally going to fulfill this promise today.

"Alright~, there will be more battles later. Calm down first. We've worked hard to achieve our current strength, and we will not tolerate evil again today."

After Lin Ye comforted Zoroark, he noticed that the door to the room behind the chip exchange counter was half open, and there were several iron cages piled up inside, with various Pokémon inside.

Some were trembling, some were whimpering, and some were completely still, but all of them were listless and clearly suffering inhuman torture.

Old Jin whispered in Lin Ye's ear that casino chips could be exchanged for various items, and these Pokémon could also be redeemed as rewards.

Gladion is actually a cold-on-the-outside-but-warm-on-the-inside hot-blooded young man; otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like secretly taking away his rich mother's key research Pokémon and escaping.

Seeing this, he couldn't stand it any longer and immediately wanted to free these poor Pokémon that had been captured or sent to the life-or-death duel by unscrupulous trainers.

But Lin Ye grabbed him and said in a low but firm voice, "Just bear with it a little longer. None of these bastards will get away today."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he subtly scanned the entire casino with his mental power. This was an easy task for him now, and he quickly discovered that the Pokémon available for exchange were incredibly diverse.

Unlike the game where Team Rocket's game town allows you to exchange Porygon or even Dratini, the Pokémon here, while diverse, are mostly not particularly rare.

The only one that interested it was a fire rock rat with darting eyes that looked like it had just been caught.

Next, he confirmed the number of guards at the casino and the energy level of their Pokémon. Most of them were "excellent" level, but there were also some "professional" level experts.

The strongest being among them was a Dream Eater at the peak of the "professional" level, which was scanning the entire area with its powerful mental energy.

Lin Ye's necromancer has reached the level of a grand mage, equivalent to a "Gym Leader-level" psychic Pokémon.

By deliberately concealing himself, he did not attract the former's attention at all, and then pulled Gladgio to pick a poker table and start betting.
