Chapter 866
Because the mission Su Hao received was issued directly by the Alliance and concerned the capture of a poaching ring, the information could not be easily leaked.
Su Xu and Qian Kun moved Su Hao to a different location, arriving at the training hall of the Xuri Trainer Comprehensive Center; they usually worked here, so privacy was guaranteed.
The three of them sat on the sofa, and as if just chatting, Su Xu revealed the mission details missing from the Trainer App.
"The Shunanzi poaching ring... This is a criminal gang that roams within the Shenzhou Alliance, stealing and selling rare Pokémon. Their leader is a Heavenly King-level trainer."
"Wait, wait, wait... A Heavenly King-level trainer!? But I'm only taking the Professional Trainer assessment!"
Before Su Xu could finish speaking, Su Hao lost his composure.
Although, within the Shenzhou Alliance, he could summon the Eon siblings or Celebi at any time.
But he was only taking the Professional Trainer assessment; why did he have to go and capture or dismantle a poaching ring that possessed Heavenly King-level combat power!?
It couldn't be that Su Xu would also be taking part in the operation, right? Wouldn't that just be pure favoritism? He would probably pass the mission even if he just lay there, right?
"Listen to me finish first." A look of helplessness appeared on Su Xu's face as he pressed down on the somewhat agitated Su Hao and continued: "The Shunanzi poaching ring was already uprooted a month ago, and you only need to go and capture a few professional-level underlings who slipped through the net—the so-called 【informants】."
"Remember? When you had just started your journey and contacted me from the City of Water and Viridian Forest regarding the Nova Organization."
Su Hao was stunned. Su Xu was referring to those two bold enough to poach Latias and Latios, who were blasted into nothing but ashes by a single Cleanse Shine from Gao Qiqiang and Zheng Hongbo, as well as that Nightmare in Viridian Forest whose brain was a bit broken?
Su Xu nodded slightly and said: "Fortunately, your information was very timely. The post-incident processing department arrived at the scene you directed very quickly and discovered some things among the wreckage that had inextricable links to the Nova Organization."
"After following the clues, the poaching ring identified as secretly working for the Nova Organization was this Shunanzi group."
After speaking, Su Xu signaled to Qian Kun with his eyes. Qian Kun understood, took out a tablet, performed an authentication, entered the Alliance database, and pulled up three photos.
Qian Kun narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Currently, the three are on the run. They last appeared on surveillance footage the day before yesterday. Based on calculations, they are expected to be hiding at the foot of Jiulong Mountain outside Yang City."
Su Xu took over the topic and continued: "And your mission is to find their tracks in the vast Jiulong Mountain and then arrest them all and bring them to justice."
"How about it, do you need your dad's help?"
"No need."
Su Hao shook his head. Just finding people—the Aura ability was best at detection. The Aura he resonated with Lucario could cover a very large range, making finding people easy.
"Tch~" Su Xu's expression slumped. He had originally been counting on his son to lower his pride and beg him for help; finding people in the mountains was no easy task.
Su Hao ignored Su Xu, who had gone into drama-queen mode, and focused his gaze on the tablet Qian Kun was holding, quickly memorizing the three people's physical characteristics, Pokémon data, and so on.
Finally, as if remembering something, Su Hao mentioned: "What is the mission time limit?"
Su Xu chuckled and held up a number with his fingers: "Three days. Just bring them back within three days. Alliance specialists are deployed around Jiulong Mountain to keep watch. At their current pace, it is impossible for them to walk out of Jiulong Mountain within three days without exposing their presence."
Su Hao replied thoughtfully: "In other words, I just need to catch these three people and bring them back within three days, right?"
"That's right."
"Then that's no problem." Su Hao snapped his fingers and said confidently.
Su Xu smiled. He was aware that his son possessed the special ability of Aura. Perhaps the search mission, which might be more difficult than a battle for others, really didn't pose much difficulty for Su Hao?
Before Su Hao left, Su Xu seemed to remember something and reminded him: "Speaking of which, Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng, and your high school classmates are all training here recently. If you have time, you can go see them."
Su Hao's movement of getting up paused, and he asked in confusion: "Training camp?"
"It's almost
November, and there isn't much time left until the college entrance exam. Isn't a training camp a matter of course?" Su Xu touched his forehead, not expecting that after Su Hao entered university, he had completely forgotten about the college entrance exam. "They are in the C-zone training hall, which your school rented out for the students of the Battle Department."
"........ Alright." Su Hao nodded. He didn't expect Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng to be here too, so he would have to go and say hello.
After all, he had originally intended to contact them only after finishing the mission.
"Hmm....... this should be the place, right?"
Su Hao looked at the huge training hall in front of him, his ears clearly hearing the heated training sounds inside and the sound of Pokémon moves colliding.
There was an elderly man in a security uniform guarding the gate of the training hall, plus the bold move of renting out an entire training hall.
It seems that after he won the High School Cup championship, resources really did tilt toward Yang City High School.
