Chapter 142: Anime Crossover: Pokémon - Starting from Hunter x Hunter Chapter 66

In a dilapidated building in some city, voices of several people talking came from a room.

A blonde, doll-faced boy sat before a desk, constantly browsing web pages on an old computer he had scavenged.

He loved all kinds of high-tech products; his hobby was encountering novel things.

Liking beauties was an interest cultivated later.

He came from the Meteor City.

He had even once, driven by his hobbies, forcibly crafted a mobile phone from the scrap metal of Meteor City.

His hands-on ability was extremely strong.

He was the strategist of the Phantom Troupe in the original work—Shizuku.

Luo Ge's appearance caused many butterfly effects, including an impact on the Phantom Troupe.

Setting aside that Little 317's drop joined the Phantom Troupe later, having no current impact.

But he took away Machi, a founding member, which meant the Phantom Troupe was one person short at its founding.

By chance, they met Shizuku earlier, so Shizuku replaced Machi's position and became a founding member.

Beside Shizuku, there were two more figures.

One man had a shorter stature.

He was clearly a teenager of sixteen or seventeen, yet his height was as low as a child's, making it easy to misjudge his age.

The man had black hair styled like a middle part, wore all-black clothing, and had a triangular scarf tied around his neck.

On the scarf was a conspicuous skull pattern; he usually liked to use the scarf as a mask to cover the lower half of his face.

Watching Feitan sat on a broken remnant beam, holding a book in his hand titled "Helping You Find Books That Suit Your Taste."

This was a book recommended to him by their leader, Chrollo.

Chrollo loved reading, had read countless books, and knew that a personality like Watching Feitan's needed some interest.

So he thought of letting Watching Feitan look for books to read.

However, after reading many pages, Watching Feitan still could not find a single book that suited his taste.

The books introduced inside were mostly histories and legendary stories of various countries, or else personal biographies with a narrative nature.

"I say, reading books is too unsuited for you; only someone like our leader would read books."

A deep voice sounded.

The speaker was the third person besides Watching Feitan and Shizuku.

He was about twenty years old, with short golden hair; his face, lacking eyebrows, added a few points of ferocity.

Wearing sparse, common sportswear, he was lifting two large stone blocks, exercising his arm strength.

As soon as the words fell, a flash of cold light darted past.

Bang!

The rock in his hand suddenly collapsed, turning into countless lime and gravel, scattered all over the ground.

Looking out, one saw Watching Feitan sheathing his short sword and adjusting the scarf around his neck.

Finx, the burly man who had just spoken, raised both hands and struck a surrendering pose.

"Alright, alright, I won't say it."

Just now, it was only because he reacted quickly that he moved the rock over to block Watching Feitan's attack.

If that had landed on his body, it wouldn't have been fun.

Beside him, Shizuku stared fixedly, long accustomed to the bickering among members.

That is how their Phantom Troupe is.

One second they might be chatting, the next they could be fighting together.

Watching Feitan pouted, continuing to flip through the book.

Swish—

He turned another page.

Just as Watching Feitan was becoming impatient, he unexpectedly discovered a book that was different from the rest.

"The Taste of Candy and Pain"

The introduction stated that the book's content was filled with darkness, manipulation, and violent aesthetics...

Seems a bit interesting?

Watching Feitan raised an eyebrow and continued reading down, only to find this book was not easy to obtain and was often collected in people's homes.

"Shizuku, if there is something hard to find that you want to obtain, is there any way?"

Watching Feitan asked the most knowledgeable Shizuku.

Shizuku propped his chin on his hand, boredly scrolling on the computer, when he suddenly recalled information he had glimpsed earlier.

Immediately, his expression brightened.

"I've got it!"

"Let's go participate in the Hunter Exam."
