Chapter 1165
Judging from their dress and appearance, this group of people looked like blue-collar workers, ordinary and unremarkable.
They were squatting or sitting on the side of the road, eating, drinking, and chatting casually.
It was as if what All Baimu heard just now was an illusion.
And when the distance between them closed to a certain extent, the content they were discussing clearly entered All Baimu's ears.
"It's been so many days, that guy should start to get weak, right?"
"Shh! Keep it down! Don't let anyone hear!"
"Why are there more and more people lately, even though it's not time for the Silver Conference?"
"I heard that tomorrow a Champion from another region is going to battle the Elite Four member Koga."
"Hmph! Champion! Once I catch Suicune, I'll be a Champion too!"
The middle-aged man leading them was full of disdain.
Hearing this, All Baimu basically confirmed that this group of people was the Pokémon Hunter group that caught Suicune in the original plot.
It was they who relied on ropes and fishing nets to destroy the prestige of the 【Incarnation of the North Wind】.
This was really a coincidence.
Should he catch them?
No.
Catch thieves, catch the loot.
All Baimu checked the time; the match was scheduled for tomorrow morning, so he had plenty of time to collect evidence of their crimes.
"..."
Might as well test Suicune's special training results?
He remembered that he had put it through a lot of trouble with fishing nets back then; it should be alert to this by now, right?
He didn't dare to be certain.
If Suicune was reminded by him and still got trapped by the fishing net, it would only prove that this guy is truly weak to fishing nets, and he would definitely record it to show Entei and Raikou—
So they could mock it for a lifetime!
Hehehe!
All Baimu showed a Gengar-like sinister smile, maintained his breath-concealing posture, and watched quietly.
A short while later, a dump truck drove from the end of the street, the truck bed filled with collected household waste, the pungent, fishy smell making him cover his nose.
If he remembered correctly, this group of people was preparing to dump the trash into the lake water, forcing Suicune to purify the water source and constantly consume its power.
Damn...
A bunch of animals!
In the past, the water source in Ferroseed Town was controlled by various organizations, and the bottom-level civilians often lacked clean water, having to submit to the organizations to work for them.
Having experienced those days, All Baimu couldn't tolerate this behavior at all.
He released Dragapult from its ball and put a light-colored silk scarf on it.
"You go chase them, I'll follow behind you."
"Dreepy?"
The socially anxious dragon was slightly startled, looked down at the beautiful silk scarf, and flew out happily.
And this was not just a gift All Baimu prepared for it; a GPS positioning device was hidden inside.
The positioning device was actually bought a long time ago.
Unfortunately, it was of no use to Dragapult; this guy likes to hide in the Spirit Realm, and GPS is hard to locate in another world.
But it can come in handy occasionally.
Like now.
He didn't chase them himself not because he was afraid of the smell, but because he was preparing to go directly to find Suicune.
"Go!"
All Baimu rode Hydreigon and confirmed where the group was preparing to dump the trash based on the socially anxious dragon's positioning.
Based on this, he radiated outward to search.
It didn't matter if he didn't know where Suicune was; the Pokémon Hunters knew!
All the way south.
All Baimu found that this group of people stayed near the Tohjo Falls, which is located between Kanto and Johto and is considered a node connecting the two places.
"Well, they know how to pick a place, huh?"
He raised his eyebrows.
Tohjo Falls leads to the sea; if this group of Pokémon Hunters pours it into the living water, I'm afraid the ocean will not be spared either.
—What audacity!
Mainstream regions generally attach great importance to environmental issues; for example, the villain Kodai, who caused the greenery of a city to vanish in the movie "Zoroark: Master of Illusions," is still serving time in prison to this day.
Heaven knows when he'll get out.
This group of people messing around like this can be considered courting death.
Seeing them circling in the forest, All Baimu sent a Porygon2 clone to cause trouble and take pictures of the evidence of their crimes.
Then he took out the souvenir hidden in Gengar's stomach: 【Net for Capturing the Legendary Beasts】.
After using this thing to trap them last time, All Baimu kept it as a souvenir.
He never thought it would come in handy today.
"You try it!"
He handed it to Hydreigon to sniff.
Although it hadn't been washed, the scent on it had long since become very faint over time.
Hashilong's attention was highly focused, and it finally distinguished a few special scents from it.
At the same time, the Porygon-Phone spoke: "All Baimu! They have another sewage truck!"
"Sewage truck?"
All Baimu frowned, "Can you control it?"
The Porygon-Phone said: "Yes, both trucks are electronically controlled. But besides the vehicles, they have also prepared many Poison-type Pokémon to pollute the water source."
You've really worked hard to be so thorough while doing evil things!
All Baimu's mouth twitched, but compared to man-made trash pollution, the pollution brought by Poison-type Pokémon is easier to solve.
Even though Suicune has the power to purify sewage, it cannot make trash disappear from the world.
While he was discussing with the Porygon-Phone, Hydreigon, remembering the scent, raised its three heads and sniffed in multiple directions.
The air was mixed with many indescribable odors, and trying to find Suicune from it was as troublesome as tidying up a tangled ball of yarn; its young and useful brain was spinning wildly.
"..."
Why is it everywhere!?
Hydreigon was speechless; Suicune was too active in this area, and it could smell a little bit everywhere.
Sniff again!
Its three pairs of nostrils expanded, trying to smell which side was stronger...
Tsk!
Hydreigon felt a little angry and suddenly roared at the sky.
"Hydreigon—!!"
The roar was like thunder, spreading through half of the lush forest in an instant, constantly spreading further away, startling flocks of birds.
All Baimu, who was exchanging information with the Porygon-Phone, was slightly startled, then thought, "... That works too."
The video evidence was successfully captured.
The snake is already in the jar, so it doesn't matter if it's startled.
I have to say, Hydreigon's roar was very useful; the moment the sound dissipated, a wind blew from the north.
Whoosh~
The breeze was cold like soft cotton yarn.
In an instant, the familiar huge figure leaped through the forest and approached them at a very fast speed.
Just as All Baimu was preparing to say hello, the other party suddenly flew past Hydreigon's side and glanced at them calmly.
"Hydreigon?"
Hydreigon was full of confusion.
All Baimu realized, "It discovered the traces of pollution."
The direction Suicune was sprinting toward was exactly where the trash truck was.
Even with Porygon2 causing trouble and the Pokémon Hunters failing to dump the trash, their Pokémon were still working tirelessly.
Hydreigon flapped its wings to catch up.
——
By the lake.
A group of Pokémon Hunters were checking the vehicles in a panic.
"What are you doing? I told you to check every day, check every day, how can there still be a problem!"
The Hunter leader scolded loudly and shouted at the Pokémon working hard to spray poison, "Work harder! Give me your all!"
It took him a lot of effort to get these two transport trucks and so much trash and sewage; if he didn't dump it now, was he supposed to take it back to town?
He would definitely be caught by Officer Jenny and questioned!
As a Pokémon Hunter, one should be as low-key as possible!
The subordinates hurriedly replied, "Right away! Almost done!"
However, his "right away" was ultimately unable to be fulfilled; the deformed Porygon2 damaged the motors of the two large trucks, causing the sewage discharge device and the truck bed lifting device to be blocked.
Unless the motors could be removed for a major overhaul, they wouldn't get an answer even if they struggled for a day.
Not to mention...
Suicune is here!
The North Wind blew across the lake, causing ripples.
The Hunter leader looked to the side and said solemnly: "Is it here? Although it's a bit early... but let's go directly!"
There are too many eyes and ears, and long delays mean trouble; the more lively Blackthorn City is, the more unfavorable it is for their actions.
He shouted: "Little ones! The prey is here! Prepare the tools!"
The Pokémon Hunters scattered quickly upon hearing this.
And on the other side of the lake, Suicune stepped into the sewage with anger in its eyes, purifying it in an instant.
"Uwooo!!"
Upon discovering the culprit of the pollution, it immediately sprinted forward, triggering a biting cold current to freeze the dump truck and the sewage truck!
These past few days, the Pokémon Hunters had been playing Mobile Corps Commander warfare with it, often changing places to discharge sewage and fleeing very fast, which caused it to completely fail to figure out who was causing everything.
Now, with Hydreigon's reminder and Porygon2's delaying tactics, it successfully discovered this bunch of guys in time!
Damn bad seeds!
Suicune launched an attack in anger, but the Hunter leader had already called his subordinates to send a group of Pokémon to sacrifice themselves to block it, thereby crazily consuming its power.
Generally speaking, one or two purifications are not a burden for Suicune.
But as the number of times increased and the pollution continued to worsen, even its energy was greatly consumed under the long-term battle of the Pokémon Hunters, giving the enemy an opportunity.
"Uwooo!!"
When it finished off all the Poison-type Pokémon surrounding it, a strong sense of fatigue surged into its heart.
Suicune regretted purifying the water source first; it should have wiped out this group of guys first...
Watching the Pokémon Hunters surround it with covetous eyes, holding many strange tools, it fell into hesitation.
This pause gave the Hunter leader an opportunity.
"Now! Catch it!"
Countless specially made ropes and large nets flew toward Suicune; as veteran hunters who dared to attack Legendary Pokémon, lassoing was a basic skill for them!
In an instant.
Suicune's neck was lassoed by ropes, its body was entangled by large nets, and the force applied from all sides made it struggle crazily.
"Uwooo! Ooo!"
It called out several times, and suddenly its body stiffened slightly.
This feeling... it seemed to have experienced it somewhere before?
All Baimu!
It was All Baimu who warned it!
Suicune finally remembered that it wasn't fighting alone and roared loudly to call for support.
"Uwooo—"
The loud howl spread throughout the entire forest.
The Hunter leader thought something was wrong, "What is this guy doing? Could it be that it has companions!?"
He looked around nervously.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
The Hunter leader relaxed and shouted: "Everyone work harder! Drain its stamina completely!"
"Okay!"
Many Pokémon Hunters responded in unison.
Suicune struggled crazily, looking for All Baimu's figure, and when it saw him hiding behind a tree in the distance, it widened its eyes in disbelief.
"Uwooo!"
It: All Baimu! Why are you just watching!
All Baimu: OvO
Of course he had to watch; not only watch, he was also recording!
Suicune really had forgotten everything he reminded it of before; how could this work?
He could save it once by chance, but could he save it countless times?
Anyway, Suicune was only having its stamina constantly consumed and hadn't reached the point of being seriously injured, so he didn't necessarily need to intervene.
Come on! Bring out everything I taught you!
All Baimu made a cheering gesture to Suicune, who was looking at him with longing, almost making the latter vomit blood in anger.
"Uwooo!!"
Suicune's first request for help was actually rejected so easily.
One act of initiative led to a lifetime of introversion.
It swore never to trust any human again, struggled in grief and indignation, and suddenly recalled the technique it used to break free from the large net on the cruise ship.
It remembered it was...
As if by divine inspiration.
Just as the Hunter leader felt it was a sure thing and could capture Suicune, a biting cold light filled the entire field of vision!
Swish swish swish!
Like a gorgeous sword dance of a peerless divine sword, the fishing net wrapped around Suicune's body was cut open, and the rope around its neck also snapped in response.
The Hunter leader widened his eyes, "This is impossible!"
Their custom-made ropes were claimed to be strong enough to fish for Wailord and even Kyogre!
"Uwooo!"
Suicune, having escaped, stood up with difficulty, waved the ribbons that had condensed into ice blades in anger, and the hidden Dragapult and Porygon2 clone also moved.
"Dreepy!"
"Pory!"
The two Pokémon that appeared suddenly didn't hesitate at all and attacked the hunters without any psychological burden.
Especially Dragapult; it hated Pokémon Hunters the most, and this idea hadn't changed to this day.
The Hunter leader looked at the two Pokémon that appeared inexplicably and immediately understood that Suicune really had helpers.
He hurriedly wanted to send out a Pokémon, but before he could throw the ball, a sharp pain came from the back of his head.
Slap!
The Hunter leader fell to the ground in response, falling into a baby-like sleep.
Suicune stood still on the spot.
Dragapult and Porygon2's movements were too fast and too skilled, so it didn't have time to perform, and the Pokémon Hunters were already all on the ground.
Even the leader was knocked down by a flying stone thrown by All Baimu from far away.
Suicune: "..."
What's the meaning of this?
It turned its head to look at All Baimu, who was approaching leisurely, the latter wearing a smile and speaking in a relaxed tone.
"Ah~ looks like you still remember what you learned before."
"..."
Suicune moved its ribbons.
How could it not understand why All Baimu didn't rescue it in time? It turns out he wanted it to recall this!
Suicune gazed at All Baimu; did this person know that it was destined to face this calamity?
Otherwise, how could he have appeared just in time?
All Baimu didn't know what Suicune was thinking at this moment, otherwise he would definitely shout that he was wronged; this was truly a coincidence!
"But you're still not smart enough; you shouldn't be indecisive when dealing with these kinds of people; you need to cut the Gordian knot. Remember to be more cautious next time something similar happens."
He said with a chuckle, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings.
Ash didn't appear, which meant Suicune's fate had been changed.
It was still that free Incarnation of the North Wind, the Ho-Oh guard roaming the world to help the weak.
"..."
Suicune hesitated, then paced to All Baimu's side and buried its head to rub against his chest.
Regardless, it had to thank this person for escaping danger this time.
Without him teaching it in advance how to break free from high-strength fishing nets, this time would probably have been truly ominous.
"Uwooo!"
It let out a soft cry.
All Baimu touched its cold ice-crystal-shaped giant horn and said: "Alright, go do what you need to do; I'll call someone to clean them up."
While speaking, the Porygon-Phone had actually already dialed the police.
