Pokémon Devil King

Chapter 319 Catfish

"What are you regretting? Are you regretting that you didn't stand in front of me the first time?" Jiuji pointed out directly.

Luna nodded vigorously, his eyes firm: "Luka Luka!"

Brother said that he had to protect his trainer. But today, he didn't even have time to rush back to Jiuji.

"It was my duty, but I made a mistake in my judgment." Jiuji's tone was as calm as that of a trainee. "The primary threat at the time was falling rocks. There were many ways to protect me, and you chose the one that would contribute the most to the team. You also performed the task I assigned to you very well."

"Do you remember what Luou told you?" She looked at Luna's thoughtful eyes and continued, "Your waveguide allows you to perceive the overall situation, which is your advantage; always firmly carry out my orders, this is my trust in you."

"Luka!" It nodded solemnly, and the stubborn regret in its eyes was replaced by a deeper understanding.

There are two left.

Jiuji did not deliberately look for Gengar. At this moment, the purple potato fat man, who seemed to be a lazy fish but actually had his own bottom line, must have stayed in his shadow.

She said to the shadow under her feet in a casual conversational tone: "It's okay to want to improve yourself, but don't force yourself to do inappropriate things."

"Your 'elusiveness' is more valuable when used for sneak attacks and disruptions at critical moments."

“Remember your position and play to your strengths, that’s the best cooperation.”

The shadow seemed to tremble slightly, and an almost inaudible "jie~" was heard, with a bit of embarrassment of having one's thoughts seen through, but more of a sense of relief after being affirmed.

Finally, Jiuji looked at Pikachu, who was dragged to the training room by Pokémon Go and was looking confused, and the little guy with his back to everyone and his wings drooping.

Jiuji walked over and sat down directly next to Pokkigu, gently embracing its small, furry body.

"Poker..." Pokkigu's body stiffened. He did not immediately snuggle up to me as usual, and his voice was muffled.

"Are you scared?" Jiuji's voice was very soft, with her unique calmness that could soothe anxiety. "Are you afraid that you are not strong enough and can't stay with me forever?"

"Or do you feel that your power is not strong enough to protect me?"

Pokkigu's body trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

"Becoming stronger is for traveling together, seeing more scenery, and experiencing more interesting things, not for the qualification of 'staying by my side'." Jiuji gently combed its soft feathers with his fingers, "You are the Togepi that I watched grow up little by little from the egg. I was once very worried about whether you could break out of the shell. Really, you are working hard to fulfill my wish and grow up healthily."

"You are the Pokémon who brings me luck! Your existence itself is the greatest luck."

“A warrior’s belief is not to never fail, but to be able to stand up after falling. You don’t need to be a fool or a flower, you just need to be the best Pokémon.”

These words were like a warm current that flowed into Pokkigu's heart. It turned around suddenly and dived into Jiuji's arms, wrapping its wings around her tightly, and cried out "Pokpok!"

The anxiety and pressure accumulated since evolution are finally released at this moment.

Pichu took the opportunity to pounce over, shouting "Chuck! Chuchu!" in grievance, accusing Pokémon of its just-rough behavior, and its little paws tightly grasped the corner of her clothes.

After confirming that everyone's condition had returned to normal, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but secretly complain: "It wasn't like this when I met Bai Caijie before. Why did Daigo become a 'catfish' when it was his turn?"

……

The fighter ship sailed steadily under the blue sky of Hoenn, and the sea of ​​clouds rolled outside the porthole.

On the central control screen, a clear system prompt popped up silently:

[Alliance mission settlement completed]

[Emergency rescue mission at the northern foot of Chimney Mountain]

[Basic points: 800]

[Additional points: 200]

[Total: 1000 points]

[Currently held points: Kanto (200); Hoenn (5400); Sinnoh (2300)]

Almost at the same time, Jiuji's encrypted communicator vibrated slightly.

It was a message from Jun Shalin: [Preliminary investigation report: High-purity lava energy residues were extracted from the three earthquake source core points, and the equipment shell fragments were printed with the flame logo of the Fire Rock Team (Figures 1 and 2). The Investigation Bureau has intervened and blocked the area. Subsequent progress will be synchronized.]

Jiuji ran his fingertips across the screen, zooming in on the two pictures.

On the twisted metal fragments, the "M"-shaped mark that looked like burning magma was extremely clear when photographed with professional equipment.

Her eyes were slightly cold and her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

Sure enough, the two parties should have almost found Groudon and Kyogre, or they have already found them. Otherwise, they would never have gone to such great lengths to fight.

After backing up the coordinates and pictures into the spacecraft's encrypted archive, Jiuji asked his mother for Yulongdu's contact information.

"Dai?" Daidai, who was lying at her feet with his eyes closed, raised his head and keenly noticed her abnormal emotions.

"It's okay, I just received some information." Jiuji reached out and rubbed its head.

She switched the communication channel. "Qizai, retrieve the holographic map near Liuli Island and overlay the site selection plan of the Yajing Group's 'Pokémon-friendly Eco-Resort' in eastern Hoenn."

[Command confirmed, association model being established.] A cold electronic sound rang out, and a soft light shone from the console, projecting a three-dimensional map of the Hoenn region in the center of the spacecraft.

Several key areas are highlighted: Liuli Island flashes a warning red light; the eastern sea area is covered in soft green and marked with "Ecological Resort (under planning)".

"Tsk." Jiuji smacked her lips. She didn't like coincidences, especially when it came to large-scale infrastructure investment and potential ecological disasters.

The eco-resort project of the Yajing Group in Hoenn is a project she leads, and is an important part of the concept of "rational improvement". Therefore, when choosing a site, she tried to cover the entire area as much as possible, but forgot about the plot of the two mythical beasts Groudon and Kyogre.

Less than three minutes after the message was sent, the communicator's special encrypted channel lit up, and Sally's three-dimensional projection instantly appeared above the spacecraft's main console.

His long black hair was tied into a bun, with a few strands of unruly hair falling down on both sides of his face, adding a bit of weathered charm. He was wearing a practical field combat uniform, which looked a bit messy, probably just after an operation.

"Baby, regarding Chimney Mountain, Jun Shalin's preliminary report has just been sent to me." Sally's voice was filled with concern, and she went straight to the point, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Mom. Huahua and the others handled it well. Daigo Zifuki also arrived in time to resolve the tail end of the secondary landslide." Jiuji showed Sally the interior of the spaceship and his companions taking a short break.

Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Sally's solemn expression eased a little: "Team Fire and the Water Fleet...their activities have indeed been unusually frequent recently, especially the Water Fleet's deep-sea exploration activities in the eastern waters, which are much larger than before."

She moved her fingers in the air a few times, and several encrypted files were instantly transmitted to Jiuji's spacecraft system.

"The geothermal activity index of the Fire Team near Chimney Mountain and Fuyan Town has increased sharply. It is suspected that they are conducting some kind of energy guidance experiment. The Water Fleet is concentrated in the 'Eye of the Abyss' area about 150 nautical miles northeast of Liuli Island. The sonar detected the reaction of large-scale artificial structures. The energy readings are abnormally active, far exceeding the level of ordinary bases."

"The main leaders of both parties, Chi Yansong and Shui Wutong, have not appeared publicly in known locations for more than two weeks, and their whereabouts remain a mystery."

Sally paused, and looked directly at Jiuji with her ocean-blue eyes: "Baby, what do you want to do? Or what are you doubting?"

"Doubt?" Jiuji shook his head slightly. "I'm sure that the Fire Rock Team and the Water Fleet should have gotten what they wanted, and they will definitely take action within a week."

She sent the correlation model established by Xiaoqi to Sally, "My goal is to 'stop loss' and 'take the lead in post-disaster reconstruction'."

"Interesting intuition." Sally was a little surprised, but since she was a daughter slave, she always fully supported her baby's behavior. "I sent you Du's contact information. From what I know about him, he might have been undercover in the Magma Team or the Aqua Team. I will keep him updated on your actions."
