I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

At the end, Mirei was filled with indignation.

"What about him? Why can he take away other people's Pokémon?" Xu Li pointed at Leo behind Mirei.

However, Mirei immediately protected him and said hurriedly, "Leo has withdrawn from the capture team! He will only capture those dark Pokémon whose emotions are sealed. We will rescue these dark Pokémon!"

"Please don't take Leo away!" Mirei became a little anxious when she said this.

Leo, the dark Pokémon with blocked emotions, took over the team... Xu Li placed his chin on Sylveon's head, he seemed to have some impression.

"Is this... the Olei area?" Xu Li suddenly said.

"Yes... yes, this continent is called Olei." Milei was a little nervous. He was very afraid that Xu Li, the strong man, would directly capture Olei.

Xu Li finally remembered that this was a super unpopular Pokémon spin-off. Xu Li had never played it, but he had only heard that there were no wild Pokémon in this game and that people could only plunder other people's Pokémon.

So this Leo is the protagonist? A rare villain in Pokémon. He uses the plundering machine on his arm to overpower other Pokémon?

But Xu Li doesn’t care about these now, he just wants to contact Zhulan.

"What is the name of this town? Who is the highest-ranking person?" he continued to ask.

"This is Silicon Berylium City, the most prestigious city... We just came out of the mayor's house." Mirei answered honestly, wondering in her heart, is this strong man lost?

As she spoke, Mirei pointed to the mayor's house, an unremarkable house on the edge of the second layer of the Silicon Berylium City.

"Okay, thank you!" Xu Li nodded. It turned out that such a small town was also a city.

Seeing that Xu Li did not pursue the matter of Leo taking over the team, Milei nodded repeatedly, pulled Leo onto a very steampunk-style motorcycle and left.

"Gardevoir, I'm leaving it to you." Xu Li summoned Gardevoir, intending to let Gardevoir use its superpowers to pick up the person pretending to be unconscious on the ground.

"Huh?" But Gardevoir felt that there were two other places in Silicon Beryl City with people dressed like this person.

"Catch him here." Xu Li said.

After Gardevoir moved several times on the spot, two people, one red and one green, also wearing armor, suddenly appeared. They were firmly controlled in the air by Gardevoir's super power and could only shout in panic.

"How is this going?"

"Why are you here all of a sudden?!"

"Brano? Who made you like this?" They saw Bruno pretending to be unconscious on the ground.

This made Bruno even more afraid to respond. To be able to capture his other two companions in an instant, what a powerful strength it must have been.

"Which organization are you from?" Xu Li asked.

The two men in the air finally found a target to vent their anger on. They stared at Xu Li fiercely and said, "No matter which team you are from, Boss Disqiu will not let you go! We brothers, Velidi, Luo Chiso, and Bruno, are his most important subordinates!"

"Disqiu?" Xu Li was puzzled.

"Our boss Disqiu is a cadre of Shadow! If you know what's good for you, let us go!" They continued to speak harshly.

Bruno: ...Stop talking!! But Bruno only dared to think in his heart, burying his eyes in the ground and closing them tightly.

Xu Li discovered that both Bruno and these two people liked to reveal their own information, which seemed not very smart.

It thought of the dark Pokémon that Mirei had mentioned before.

"I'll let you down and have a fight. I'll let you go if you win." Xu Li said.

"Okay, let me show you how powerful I, Viludi/Lochiso, am!" The two men agreed immediately.

So, Xu Li placed the two of them in a circular area in the middle as a battlefield, with Sylveon and Gardevoir standing on both sides of Xu Li.

Each of them sent out a Bay Leaf and a Fire Rock Rat. Xu Li thought of Bruno's Blue Crocodile. Are these three the ones sending the Three Starter Pokémons to the protagonist?

I didn't watch the battle carefully last time, but now I see that the Bay Leaf and the Fire Rock Rat are indeed like machines, standing there without any reaction.

The system's display is also very special.

【Bayleaf (Dark Pokémon)♀

property: grass

Level: Lv33

Features: Lush

Moves: Dark Charge, Photosynthesis, Leaf Blade, Tarzan Press, Magic Leaf...

Favorability: XX]

It has a skill called Dark Charge, which Xu Li has never heard of.

"Dark Charge, Bay Leaf" "Fire Rock Rat, Dark Charge"

Seeing that there was no obstruction between Xu Li and their Pokémon, the two launched an attack, and...they attacked Xu Li, the trainer!

Are the quality of the trainers in this place so sinister? Xu Li threw a Poké Ball calmly, but for Xu Li who had returned from the Washing Cui, this attack was nothing compared to a powerful one.

Snorlax's huge body directly blocked the opponent's Pokémon and Xu Li. Bayleaf and Infernape, wrapped in dark aura, charged and crashed into Snorlax.

"Kirby?"

Bayleaf and Firecracker were bounced away without any surprise. Snorlax was not even hurt at all. He just felt a little itchy and scratched the place where he was hit.

"It's time to end it." Xu Li nodded.

"Ooooooo!" The supernatural light accumulated in Gardevoir's eyes suddenly burst out. Rochiso and Veldi fainted as if they had been hit hard, and they had no ability to resist in front of Gardevoir.

This is how to effectively attack a trainer, Xu Li sighed.

He walked towards Bay Leaf and Fire Rock Rat, who were standing there motionless after losing their orders. Their eyes were empty, like puppets with lost souls.

Xu Li couldn't help but pinch the small leaf buds on Bay Leaf's chest, but there was still no response. The cute body seemed to let Xu Li do whatever he wanted.

Looking at the little beast that should have been lively and energetic but now looked lifeless, Xu Li sighed. It was just like a creature that had just stood there in time, with only a body.

Find their Poké Balls on Lochiso and Veldi, take back Bayleaf and Firefly, and carry them with you.

"Does this count as me plundering other people's Pokémon?" Xu Li couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go to the mayor's house."

After feeding it again, he took back Snorlax and asked Gardevoir to take the three people on the ground to the mayor's house in Silicon Berylium City.

……

As soon as you enter the door, the mayor's small house comes into view.

There was a larger desk, a bookshelf full of books, a few pots of green plants, and a TV standing on the side, playing news from somewhere that Xu Li didn't know.

Hearing the noise, the mayor looked up from his desk and saw a stranger.

"Welcome to Silicon Berylium City. I'm the mayor, Barclay. How can I help you?"

He is a plump middle-aged man. The slightly bulging belly under his suit reveals a hint of affinity. The bald spot in the middle of his head contrasts sharply with the white hair growing on both sides.

"Hello, Mr. Barclay, I got lost here from another area, so I would like to ask you to help me contact my family in another area."

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Li went straight to the point.

"At the same time, I think I caught three people who are sneaking around in Silicon Berylium City and are probably from an evil organization." Xu Li asked Gardevoir to bring the three people in. This was the reward Xu Li wanted from the mayor to help him contact Zhulan.

Chapter 76: Sinnoh Champion?

When Gardevoir threw in the red, green, and blue trio, Mayor Barclay showed an obvious expression of surprise on his face.

Xu Li thought Barclay was surprised by these three people and said, "Mr. Barclay, these three people said they are from the Shadow Organization. They created a dark Pokémon that has no humanity. You can investigate this Shadow Organization."

"Well... just now two kids told me about the dark Pokémon. So it's the Shadow Organization... I'll start investigating." Barclay stroked his beard and replied.

But Xu Li could clearly feel the perfunctory tone of Barclay's words and frowned.

Before Xu Li could continue, Barclay changed the subject and said, "By the way, sir, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Xu Li."

"So, Xu Li, which area are your family from? I can try to contact them." Barclay nodded.

"Well... can we contact Dr. Mustard Orchid in Sinnoh?" Xu Li said.

"Dr. Mustard Orchid..." Barclay said regretfully after checking the information for a while, "Dr. Mustard Orchid is currently in semi-retirement and does not easily accept interruptions from outsiders."

"I can try to leave a message for you, but the other party may not reply."

"Semi-retired state..." Xu Li frowned. Although Grandma Jiezilan was not young, it was only two years, so it was not time for her to semi-retire.

"Yes, four years ago, Dr. Mustard Orchid announced that he would no longer accept any matters, so the hope of contacting him is slim." Barclay told the news he had received.

"Four years ago?" Xu Li was even more confused and asked quickly, "What year is it now?"

"It is now the 207th year of the Alliance Calendar." Barclay replied.

207… He had traveled to Xicui in 202. Five years had already passed in the modern era!? Xu Li was incredulous. He had only been in Xicui for a little over two years.

Damn Arceus!

"Zhulan...Mr. Barek, do you know this name?" Xu Li asked.

"Of course I know! The new Sinnoh champion, that cold lady often comes to our Orei region." Barek was stunned for a moment, then answered.

"Because our Oure region has no wild Pokémon, we have to rely on imported Pokémon, and this has also become the main place for Pokémon hunters from other regions to sell their stolen goods."

"Champion Bamboo Orchid has been fighting against Pokémon hunters all the time, and often comes to the Ouray region to attack Pokémon hunters' dens." Barclay said with an appreciative smile.

Bamboo Ran... has become the champion. She's been fighting Pokémon hunters... Is this revenge for herself?

"Then... can we contact the Sinnoh... champion?" Xu Li asked with some anticipation.

Unexpectedly, Barclay nodded decisively, "Yes, we can contact them. The mayors and mayors of every place in our Oure region have channels to contact the Sinnoh Champion to convey the actions of Pokémon Hunters."

But he hesitated and said, "But... I don't have any information about Pokémon hunters right now. Contacting the Sinnoh Champion... wouldn't be appropriate."

"Can we talk? Just let me talk to the Sinnoh Champion!" Xu Li said.

But Barclay shook his head, "We only have messages, and I haven't heard the voice of the Sinnoh Champion."

"Then say there is a Pokémon hunter, or it's big information, and tell the Sinnoh champion to come quickly." Xu Li looked at the red, green and blue trio on the ground without hesitation, and said something like calling a horse a zebra.

"...This?" Barrek hesitated. This was not an obvious prank on the Sinnoh champion... As the mayor, he couldn't afford the consequences.

Seeing that Barclay was unwilling, Xu Li took out various gold pieces and placed them on the table.

Regardless of the era, these are hard currencies.

At the same time, Sylveon and Gardevoir both exuded pressure and pressed towards Barrek, causing Barrek's pupils to shrink.

The meaning is already obvious.

"You don't need to bear the consequences. You can say that I was the source of the Pokémon Hunter information. I will bear the responsibility then."

Barclay shook his head. "I won't accept this! Take these things back!"

But even as Barclay said this, he accidentally knocked over the documents on the table, which happened to cover up everything Xu Li had taken out. "But I did find information about the large number of Pokémon Hunters appearing recently. I will pass it on to the Sinnoh Champion!"

"Yes, I hope this operation to crack down on Pokémon hunters will go smoothly." Xu Li also said with a smile.

Next, Barclay edited the message to the Sinnoh champion on the spot, while Xu Li provided information about the "Pokémon Hunter" on the side.

Xu Li wanted to raise some speculations about Shadow, but was rejected by Barclay on the grounds that there was no evidence and it was not good to disturb the champions of other regions.

Finally, in front of Xu Li, Barclay successfully sent out the information that there were Pokémon hunters in Silicon Berylium City.

Xu Li did not tell Zhulan about his existence. Firstly, he had some concerns about this shadow organization, and secondly, he wanted to give Zhulan a surprise, well... you could say a scare.

If Zhulan doesn't come, then he will have to go to Sinnoh by himself, and then come back to study this shadow organization together.

"As for these three people... leave them to my supervision!" Barclay said as he looked at the red, green and blue trio on the ground.

Xu Li nodded. After he had snatched the laurel leaves and the fire rock rat away, they were naturally of no use to him.

Next, Xu Li settled down in Silicon Berylium City to wait for news.

……

Silicon Berylium City is a city famous for its water resources, which is incredible in the Oure area covered with yellow sand.

It is said that Buckley's grandfather built a canal to bring water to Silicon Beryl, and thus became the first mayor of Silicon Beryl.

Now Barclay has a very good reputation among the people. After Xu Li defeated the old man in front of him using the dark Pokémon Bayleaf and Infernape in a doubles match, he chatted for a while and mentioned Barclay.

"Mayor Barclay has been actively cracking down on all kinds of crime. Under his rule, Silicon Beryl City is really getting better and better, unlike the neighboring Yellow Iron Town, which is full of thugs." The old man was full of praise when mentioning Barclay.
