I'm popularizing ecology in the Pokémon world.

Chapter 95 Back with Connections Pattern

Chen Mu got into the car, and Sylveon remained dutifully lying at his feet.

Not long after leaving the dock, the investigator named A-Fou instructed the driver.

"Take Chenghua Avenue."

One team member asked in confusion, "Wait a minute, Xing-ge? The shortest route to the dojo isn't Chenghua Avenue, is it?"

Ah Xing glared at the man.

"Stop arguing, how much do you make a month and you're working yourself to death?"

The other person immediately fell silent after being glared at.

A-Fou was busy operating a pager on his body.

Chen Mu remained seated to the side, observing coldly and without saying a word.

A few minutes later, the car arrived at Chenghua Avenue, a very wide main road in Hualan City.

Suddenly, a sharp braking sensation came.

"What happened?"

"There's a traffic jam ahead, lots of media cars, where did all these tabloid reporters come from?"

Before the driver could finish complaining, A-Fou took it upon himself to order, "Get out of the car! Put a hood on the suspect!"

The teammate next to him couldn't directly refute his order, so he could only apologize to Chen Mu in a low voice, and then gently helped Chen Mu put on a black opaque hood.

As soon as everyone got out of the car, they were immediately surrounded by a barrage of flashing lights.

A large group of tabloid reporters who had been waiting there immediately surrounded them, holding microphones and scrambling to get close and ask questions.

"Officer, is the suspect arrested this time for the illegal elf experimentation really Professor Chen, the internet celebrity with millions of followers?"

"Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts on this major image collapse?"

"Mr. Chen, can you answer our questions? As an ecological research scholar, why did you knowingly break the law and conduct inhumane experiments to modify your own Pokémon?"

The sudden influx of tabloid reporters was so overwhelming that the other investigators besides Ah-Xing frowned, sensing something was amiss.

"The matter has not been fully investigated yet. Don't make unfounded accusations or try to create a big news story!" one of the investigators warned.

But Ah Xing stopped her very quickly.

He calmly approached the camera and microphone, and began to recite his lines fluently as if he had been prepared.

"Our team of investigators upholds the principles of fairness and impartiality. Whoever is suspected of illegal Pokémon imprisonment experiments will be severely punished! We will never back down because of someone's social influence or number of online followers!"

His words, though seemingly righteous, were actually based on a predetermined stance, as if he had already confirmed that Chen Mu had committed a heinous crime.

His colleagues found his remarks increasingly unacceptable.

Just then, a painful, suppressed cry rang out.

Sylveon's ribbons moved automatically without wind, fluttering high in the air.

Ah Xing instantly perked up.

"Everyone back off! Pokémon that have been experimentally modified are likely suffering immense physical and mental pain, and their condition is extremely unstable! They could go berserk at any moment! Please move to a safe location immediately!"

But the more he said that, the more the tabloid reporters around him swarmed forward.

Many people immediately started writing articles using AI, with headlines like "Shocking! Internet Celebrity Collapses! AI Goes Rampage! Is it a Distortion of Humanity or a Decline in Morality?"

This was a truly captivating moment in journalism.

Ah Xiang took out a Poké Ball and summoned her Pokémon.

"Sableye, use hypnosis to control Sylveon!"

The skill chosen just so happens to be "hypnosis," which has a wide range of effects.

At this point, the stain on his record could no longer be washed away.

With captivating eyes that resembled an alien, it excitedly approached.

The result was a sudden reversal in the very next moment!

Sylveon instantly stopped its performance, its expression relaxed, and its ribbons, which had been dancing wildly out of control, shot out precisely, instantly binding the approaching Sableye tightly.

A clear, innocent confusion flashed in his large, crystalline eyes.

Is this right? This isn't right, is it?

"Suspect, are you still trying to resist?" Ah Xing wanted to shout at him, but unexpectedly a sharp voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Enough! What else do you want to do to my Sylveon who's escorting Professor Chen?"

Ah Xing turned around in a daze and shock, looking incredulously at Weng Hongsheng, who had landed on the back of the eagle.

"Commander Weng, what did you say?"

"Tell me, what else do you want to do with the Sylveon I sent to escort Professor Chen?"

"This is just—your Sylveon? How is that possible! That suspect's..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mu, whose headgear had been removed with his help, calmly opened his Poké Ball.

"Bu-i~"

Little Ibu happily jumped out and leaped into Chen Mu's arms.

She's grown even bigger recently. If she were to evolve into her new form, she'd be almost as big as Weng Hongsheng's Sylveon.

After Little Eevee appeared, it wagged its fluffy tail, thought for a moment, and then suddenly had a brilliant idea. With a flash of white light, it transformed into Sylveon, delivering the most devastating blow to Ah Xing!

Now even if A-Fou wanted to deny it, it would be impossible.

Sweat started to trickle down.

In desperation, Ah Xing turned around and took the initiative, questioning Weng Hongsheng first.

"Senior Weng, you framed me? I trusted you so much, and you actually plotted against me?!"

Good heavens! Chen Mu exclaimed on the spot.

This technique of turning the tables requires at least twenty years of boxing experience.

This initiative ability, the skill priority system should be at least +4, right?

Unfortunately, Weng Hongsheng remained silent, only staring coldly at him.

"Why?" Knowing there was no hope of explanation, A-Fou roared in despair, "Why do you all trust him so much? He's just a lowly ecological researcher! Why are you all willing to protect him and not believe me!"

Weng Hongsheng did not answer, but waited quietly for a moment.

A few seconds later, a bright yellow luxury supercar drove up from the other end of the street.

The car door opened, and a stunningly beautiful orange-haired woman stepped out of the driver's seat. The moment she took off her sunglasses...

The whole street gasped in surprise!

Cerulean Gym Leader: Xiaoxia, she's personally driven over to pick me up!

Almost simultaneously, behind Weng Hongsheng, the muscular woman Bi Sikui arrived on a cool off-road motorcycle, a bamboo skewer dangling from her mouth, and looked at Ah Xing, who was surrounded by the crowd, with a mocking expression.

A few seconds later, a minivan drove up from the direction the group of tabloid reporters had come from. After the car stopped, a beautiful woman in a kimono stepped out.

Representatives from Yuhong Dojo have also arrived!

Although it wasn't Rika herself who came, the person present was an elite trainer at Yuhong Dojo, second only to the dojo master in terms of fame.

Finally, two men dressed as ninjas appeared in the scene as if by teleportation. In the blink of an eye, they tied Ah Xing's hands behind her back, took the Poké Ball from her, and pressed her head against the car door next to her.

Dressed in ninja attire, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, taciturn yet decisive and efficient, one glance reveals him to be a direct ninja of the Crimson Dojo!

At that moment, Ah Xing's mind went completely blank.

Representatives from all four dojos have come?

He only accepted a small bribe from abroad to target a small-time eco blogger and up-and-coming internet celebrity. How did he manage to offend half of the official gyms in Kanto in an instant?

Who exactly is this Professor Chen? Does he have the word "connections" tattooed on his back?

But what would have been an even more devastating moment was just about to unfold!

The next moment, a tremendous wind pressure and a whooshing sound descended from the sky!

A powerful and muscular Dragonite slowly descended from the sky!

Then a serious cape enthusiast flipped off the Dragonite's back.

In that instant, Ah Xing, pressed against the car door, finally lost all will and strength to resist, because the person who came was none other than the Quartz Champion! The former commander-in-chief of the Indigo League Investigator Force! The supreme idol and strict instructor in the hearts of all the Indigo League Investigators—flying, cross-dressing, Dragon King, master of disguise, the most dedicated messenger of justice, uncomfortable if he doesn't wear a cape for a day, Dragon Rider: A-Du!

Upon landing, A-Du didn't even need to ask any questions; a single serious yet slightly disappointed look in his eyes completely shattered A-Xing's psychological defenses.

He pressed his body against the car door, slowly and weakly kneeling down, murmuring something.

"Commander Adu, could you give me a chance? I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."

A-Du sighed and simply replied, "Go tell the judge, we are investigators."
