Chapter 23 The remnants
Chapter 23 The remnants
"Fifth brother, was there any noise over there just now?"
"Really? Did you hear me wrong? This is a cliff. Would anyone be so foolish as to jump off a cliff?"
"I don't know, but I'm sure there's some noise over there. Let's go take a look."
As they were speaking, figures moved not far away, and two people seemed to be coming this way.
Gui Hai raised an eyebrow: "You can still run into people at the bottom of a cliff?"
Immediately, Gui Hai's eyes narrowed slightly.
With the help of ghost energy, he saw two men in black, each with their own Pokémon, groping their way towards him.
Neither of them used any lighting equipment.
They moved with extra caution, appearing somewhat furtive.
Guihai thought for a moment and said to Mimikyu, "Mimikyu, go and scare them."
Mimikyu flew out from the shadows of the ghost sea, then purple flames lit up around it, and it floated towards the two people.
"Rotom, go see where those two are going and what they're doing."
"Loto, I guarantee the mission will be accomplished."
Rotom switched to a drone without lights and flew up to keep up with Mimikyu's pace.
Soon, screams of fright came from the other side, followed by a small-scale battle.
Guihai saw the two men in black fighting the Mimikyu in a panic.
Then it was defeated and intimidated by Mimikyu, and finally fled in a sorry state.
Mimikyu returned quickly and nuzzled against Onikai, saying, "Mimikyu!"
"You scared them? And then you beat them up?"
Mimikyu nodded, proudly raising the head of its Pikachu plushie.
Guihai patted Mimikyu's little belly, indicating that he had done a good job.
Then, using a method that Granny Gu often used, she vanished from the spot in a flash.
When it reappeared, it had moved from its previous location.
Finding a secluded spot, Guihai took out his original Pokédex entry.
This encyclopedia has a signal connection to all of Rotom's devices.
The drone Rotom uses also has a camera, from which you can see what Rotom can see from his side.
From Rotom's perspective.
Guihai saw the two people who had been acting suspiciously earlier and ran into a cave in a panic.
The cave was quiet for a short while.
Soon, several men dressed in the same black clothes rushed out.
They headed towards the spot where Mimikyu had just fought the two men in black, each carrying their own Pokémon.
"So cautious? And sneaking around like that, doesn't seem like a good person."
Have I run into some kind of dark organization?
Should I crack down on crime? After all, I'm a prosecutor in the alliance.
Gui Hai frowned slightly as he watched these people's actions.
"Let's see what these people are planning to do first."
Guihai decided to assess the situation first.
Taking action rashly would be too imprudent.
Moreover, these guys are clearly just small fry, so there's no point in eliminating them.
Before long, those people found the spot where Guihai had landed after jumping off the cliff.
Finding no trace, these people had no choice but to leave.
Back to the cave we had just emerged from.
A little while later.
These people, carrying large and small bags, left the area as if fleeing a famine, seemingly heading away.
Gui Hai didn't find anyone inside who looked like a powerful person.
The commander to Rotom said, "Rotom, leave these people here, but don't destroy their belongings."
Rotom's response came quickly from the Pokédex: "Mission accomplished, Rotom."
Gui Hai put away the encyclopedia: "Let's go see who these guys are."
After taking only two steps, Guihai saw a flash of lightning suddenly appear ahead.
Then came a chorus of wails.
When Ghostsea arrived with Gengar and the others, the men in black were already lying on the ground.
Each one had frizzy hair and charred bodies.
Some of them were still twitching slightly.
This was caused by being hit by Rotom's electromagnetic waves.
None of these guys died.
However, they all fell into a state of numbness.
Ghostsea sent Gengar to see what those people had taken.
He then walked over to the nearest man in black and put on the mysterious mask.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
The man in black was paralyzed, and a ghostly face suddenly appeared before his eyes.
And for some reason, he felt as if he were being watched by some terrifying creature.
My whole body was trembling with fear.
A voice in his head was roaring at him to run.
Keep your distance from this grimace-faced person.
Suddenly, a terrifying whisper rang in his ear: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
I don't know where the strength came from.
The man in black stammered, his voice distorted due to numbness:
"We are from the Fuxin Association. (We are from the Revival Association)."
We, we tragically returned, we were thrown out in disgrace. (Our headquarters was destroyed, we barely escaped.)
Gui Hai couldn't quite understand what this guy was saying, and it took several people to question him before he finally understood.
These guys are remnants of the Revival Society.
Their base in Earthrock City was destroyed by the Alliance, and a few of them survived because they were not at headquarters.
They are now wanted by the city of Diyan.
So these people fled here.
They also planned to flee south to find other cities where the Restoration Society had established a presence.
Gui Hai looked at the black-clad men huddled together, cowering and staring at him, and curled his lip in disgust.
No wonder these people were acting suspiciously; if they sensed something was wrong and couldn't resolve it, they would immediately flee.
They were all homeless dogs.
There was nothing particularly noteworthy about what they brought.
These are all these guys' personal belongings.
Only two guys had two elf eggs in their bags.
Guihai asked.
This is something they just got from their companions in other cities.
It was an elf egg stolen by a branch of the Revival Society in a northern city, intended to be delivered to an important laboratory of the Revival Society.
They have now lost contact with the cadres and are preparing to sell them to pay for their travel expenses.
"I thought my protagonist aura had triggered some kind of plot, but this is all?"
Gui Hai was somewhat disappointed.
He felt a surge of excitement when he realized something was wrong with these people, thinking he had encountered something worth fighting for.
In the end, they only caught a bunch of worthless rats.
The most troublesome thing is that Gui Hai doesn't know how to deal with them.
Taking them to Earthrock City would not only waste Ghost Sea's time, but would also require sending them to the Alliance Center in Earthrock City.
There will be a lot of trouble then.
If they weren't taken along, Guihai wouldn't be willing to let the tiger return to the mountain.
These guys are all small fry.
But these small fish are also a nuisance; letting them go is always troublesome.
So Guihai is now considering whether or not he should...
He rubbed his palm against the hilt of the sword at his waist twice.
Suddenly, a flash of silver light appeared.
The eyes of the timid, huddled remnants of the Restoration Society suddenly widened.
They all covered their throats, wanting to say something.
But they couldn't make a sound.
He opened his mouth but could only spit out mouthfuls of blood.
Several of them were slower to react and failed to cover their throats in time.
A stream of blood gushed out like a fountain.
Ghost Sea flashed, sheathed his longsword, and walked to Gengar's side.
The chubby boy had already collected all the property belonging to the remnants of the Restoration Society.
Upon seeing Guihai approach, he immediately handed over two Pokémon eggs...
