Pokémon Detective: Zhulan forced me to adopt a Pokémon

Inside the red and white Poké Balls are three beginner Pokémon from the Sinnoh region.

Grass Turtle, Little Flame Monkey, Bogaman.

"Ha, haha." The detective laughed dryly and looked at the Sinnoh champion speechlessly, "You will scare people to death when you make jokes."

Zhulan tilted her head, not understanding Hugo's jumping thinking.

"You know that the person in front of you has no talent for cultivating Pokémon, and his performance in the battle can only be described as terrible. Zhulan, you are not someone who treats Pokémon as currency. Between these two

Under the joint constraints of the conditions, your behavior of placing three Poké Balls in front of me was obviously a prank."

Hugo crossed his fingers and said as if calculating addition and subtraction within ten.

Zhu Lan blinked and smiled.

The Sinnoh champion finally showed a cunning look that she had planned for a long time, as if the old debt of the pomegranate smoothie had been wiped out. She smiled and said something even more incredible:

"Choosing a Pokémon is a deposit for the case. If the case is solved, I will take back this Pokémon, but if you, the detective, can't solve the case, then the Turtle, Fire Monkey and Pocahontas in this box will

Man is all yours, and you are responsible for cultivating the three of them."

The picture shows the difference.

Hugo was stunned.

This is a bet on whether Hugo can complete Zhulan's commission. If Hugo succeeds, he will get nothing, and if he fails, he will get three Sinnoh beginner elves.

What kind of commission reward is this? Giving elves away for free? Is there such a good thing?

However, the hired party is Detective Hugo, who least wants to raise an elf in the world, and his pride will never accept the practice of deliberately messing up the entrusted case.

"In this world, there are creatures called Pokémon living everywhere! Some people will take care of them lovingly, while others will command them to fight. This boy, please choose. You will fight with one of them.

Which one embarks on the journey of hopes and dreams?"

In the cafe, Zhulan spread her hands, assuming the classic pose of Dr. Elf guiding beginners to the path of a trainer, and spoke the formulaic lines with a beautiful voice.

The over-age boy who had his hopes and dreams entrusted to him could not help but roll his eyes and shake his head desperately.

"Is that really difficult to handle? This is a case that is very troublesome for the Sinnoh Alliance. You, the great detective, must take action."

The blond woman in front of the detective shook her head with feigned regret, shrugged her shoulders in an exaggerated manner, and did not have the dignified image that a champion should have.

She picked up the pomegranate smoothie again. All the crushed ice had melted, and the drink took on a beautiful pink color.

Stirring the drink with a straw meaninglessly, Zhulan sighed softly: "Or is it that the detective feels that he cannot solve the commission?"

Click. It sounded like the sound of the combination lock being unlocked.

There is an obvious way to provoke the general in front of me, but as a detective, it seems like a pity to miss such a mystery.

Why did the Sinnoh champion go straight to Unova to find him? Why did he arrange such a strange trick to allow himself to accept the commission? Why was the reward for the commission letting him raise Pokémon?

No, this last point shouldn't be a mystery. Zhulan had been persuading herself to breed Pokémon when she was in Sinnoh. So this woman decided that there was a case that Hugo could never solve, and she thought she could take advantage of this opportunity.

Put the Pokémon in your hand.

So should we avoid the commission or participate in this ridiculous gamble?

The answer is self-evident——

"I choose grass seedlings and turtles."

Her plot succeeded, but the Sinnoh champion looked surprised. She couldn't help but ask the detective: "Is it because the turtle has a docile temperament and is easy to take care of?"

Hugo shook his head: "Since I have to give it back to you in the end, I thought I'd just pick one at random, and Turtle is the Pokémon No. 001 in the Sinnoh illustrated book. It's fairest to choose it in order."<

/p>

"You may also take them all away because you can't solve the commission." Zhulan immediately corrected.

Ignoring the other person's words, the detective reached into the open box and picked up a Poké Ball inside. He moved very carefully, and his arms even trembled slightly, as if he had done something forbidden to challenge the gods.

"That's the Poké Ball for Bogaman." Zhulan kindly reminded.

Hugo quickly changed the one, but this time it was wrong again, pretending to be a little flame monkey.

The red part of the Poké Ball is made of translucent material, which makes it easier for trainers to identify the Pokémon inside. But even so, there will be many bad trainers who will misidentify the Pokémon inside.

Unfortunately, Detective Hugo is just such a senior bad trainer.

"Pokémon all look the same when they are locked in a Poké Ball." The detective defended awkwardly, while picking up the last red and white Poké Ball containing Turtle.

Zhulan nodded as usual and sighed with an expression of "I knew it would be like this". It was obvious that the detective and the Pokémon's horoscopes were not compatible - she didn't get it until the last of the three choices.

It’s no surprise when it comes to Hugo.

Through the red translucent wall of the Poké Ball, Hugo saw the grass turtle inside.

Different from the lazy impression that turtle Pokémon usually give people, it is a very energetic little guy, with round black eyes looking directly at the detective, and the young sprouts on the top of his head are jumping with vitality.

Feeling Hugo's gaze, the turtle became active, raised its green head high, and seemed to want to jump out of the ball immediately.

Resisting the human instinct to throw the Poke Ball to release the Pokémon, the detective put the ball aside on the table and asked Zhulan the question he was most concerned about: "What is the commission?"

"Why don't you talk to Turtle? The store is not crowded and you can release Pokémon."

"It will be back in your hands soon." The detective was confident.

"If you can't solve the problem, you have to accept all the starter Pokémon in the box."

"It's really hard for you, the Sinnoh champion, to play such fancy tricks. Accept them all? Hehe, only you who have difficulty choosing would think of such an option."

While Hugo pushed the Poké Ball containing the Turtle a little further, he changed the topic with a slight sarcasm - he didn't want to talk about the consequences. The woman opposite had obviously planned it for a long time, and she had to stay and refuse to admit her guilt.

retreat.

"Well, there is also a reason for this." The detective's guess was spot on, and Zhulan admitted it frankly.

"In this case, please explain the incident quickly. I will do my best to send this little turtle back to your suitcase!"

"Very good." Zhulan said slowly, "Then let me talk about the incident that happened this time. Although this incident has only received attention in recent days, it actually happened a year ago."

The detective nodded: "The incident a year ago. It's interesting to bring up the old case again."

"Someone is pretending to be me." The champion lady at the top of the Sinnoh League pyramid said.

"Oh, pretending... eh, eh, pretending to be you? Pretending to be you?"

Hugo's expression became wonderful.

"Yes, a trainer with a similar team configuration to mine appeared and was frequently active in the Hezhong region. This incident attracted great attention from the two leagues and had a huge impact on my personal reputation." Zhulan said seriously.

Say.

"Isn't this an important incident? Pokémon tactics and build collisions are quite common in the battle field, and it can't be considered plagiarism. Besides, even if that person completely plagiarizes your Pokémon combination, there's no way he can impersonate your appearance, right?

?"

"That person did not imitate my appearance. According to the information, this person has never appeared in person. He only controls the same Pokémon as me and frequently causes trouble in the Hezhong area."

The champion placed several documents on the table, and you could see that they contained blurry photos taken on site.

Although it is blurry, if you take a closer look, the Pokémon commonly used by Zhulan such as Bite Shark, Huayan, Togekiss, and Roseredo all appear clearly in it.

"Besides, your statement is a bit wrong." Zhulan added, "That person did not damage my reputation."

"Huh? Didn't you say that your reputation has been affected? And I remember you said in the clinic that this incident involves the league's reputation. The previous statements are contradictory. What is going on?"

"It's really weird." After taking a sip of the pomegranate smoothie that had turned into pure juice, Zhu Lan smoothed her blond hair from her forehead with a headache.

"This person has affected my reputation, but in a good way - turning me into an anonymous hero who travels between Sinnoh and Unova, doing chivalry and righteousness all day long. The Unova Alliance even wanted to award me an award for this.

A United Guardian Medal!"
