Chapter 26: The Disappeared Pokémon, Thrilling Investigation
After Xiaogang fully recovered, everyone went to the restaurant to eat.
"Xiao Gang, do you think I'm really not suitable to be a Pokémon breeder?" Wuma asked.
"Yes, it is indeed not suitable."
Xuemu suddenly came over and said.
"Why are you following me?" Wu Ma rolled his eyes at him.
Xuemu sat next to Wuma, picked up the drink and drank it.
"This is mine!"
Xuemu took Wuma's drink.
"It's okay, I don't mind it."
For some reason, Wuma felt a little angry when he looked at Xuemu. He took a big mouthful of fried noodles and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xiaogang said to Wu Ma: "Everyone is good at different things. In fact, you are more suitable to be a simple Pokémon trainer."
"You don't have to say it so tactfully, just say I'm not suitable." Wuma could understand what Xiaogang meant.
"But after what happened today, I decided to become a Pokémon breeder." Xiaogang said.
"Really?"
Wu Ma was very happy. If Xiaogang became a Pokémon breeder, he would be able to shamelessly ask Xiaogang to help him with anything.
"I have decided. There are actually many foods that are bad for Pokémon made by those people today. I just hope that every Pokémon can be well taken care of."
"Believe me, Xiaogang, your decision is right."
"Yes, you have great potential as a Pokémon breeder. What do you think, do you want to learn from me?" Xuemu said.
Before Xiaogang could answer, Wu Ma answered: "Xiaogang can learn by himself, why do I need you?"
"Because I am a high-end breeder."
"Senior breeder? I'm still a senior trainer." Wu Ma said disdainfully.
"Wuma, that's not the case. In the breeder system, high-level breeders are very rare, almost equivalent to the Four Heavenly Kings." Xiaogang explained.
"So powerful!" Wu Ma was a little surprised.
There are only four heavenly kings in each region. Their strength is not to say the strongest, but they are also the top ones. He did not expect that Xuemu, who didn't look like much, was equivalent to a king-level figure. But even though this was
In this way, Wu Ma didn't change his opinion much.
"How about it? Do you want to become my student? As long as you study with me, you will be able to become a junior breeder in no time."
Xiaogang shook his head: "Thank you very much for your invitation, but I can't agree. Now I can't devote myself to learning as a Pokémon breeder. I still want to learn more about Pokémon through traveling. Only
Only by fully understanding Pokémon can I be a good breeder.
"Since you have already chosen, I won't force you. Everyone has their own path to take. I hope you can go further on the path of your choice."
"Thank you, Mr. Xuemu."
"Okay, it's time for me to leave. See you later."
Xuemu stood up and left with a piece of cake.
"Hey! Give me back my cake." Wuma yelled.
"Goodbye!"
Xue Mumu disappeared from Wuma's sight without even looking back.
"He's an asshole!"
Wuma stabbed the fork hard on the plate.
"Next time we meet again, I must show him some color."
After eating, everyone returned to the Pokémon Center to rest.
The next day, the Wuma trio were not in a hurry to leave Rainbow City and decided to continue playing here for two days.
The three of them were walking on the street, looking for a place to play.
"There is a Pokémon club nearby, we can go and have a look." Xiaogang said.
"Pokémon Club? What is that?" Wu Ma asked.
"The Pokémon Club, also called the Pokémon Club, is actually an organization where a group of people who like Pokémon gather together. In addition to trainers, there are also ordinary people who like Pokémon. You can usually go there
Communicate." Xiaogang explained.
"Then go and have a look."
Both Wuma and Xiaomi agreed.
Under the leadership of Xiaogang, the three of them came to a big house. There was a sign outside the house that said Pokémon Club.
"Let's go in and take a look."
When I walked into the Pokémon Club, I found that it was very lively. People inside formed circles and communicated with each other.
"Welcome to the Pokémon Club. Is this your first time here?" An old man came over and said.
"How do you know?" Xiaomi was surprised.
"Because I basically know everyone who has been here. You three are new faces. You must have traveled from other cities, right?"
"Yes, we heard that there is a Pokémon club here, so we came to take a look." Wu Ma said.
"Welcome, anyone who loves Pokémon can join. You can exchange anything about Pokémon here. I believe you will be very fruitful."
Wu Ma came to a circle of six people and listened to their conversation.
"Look, this is the green caterpillar I just caught. It is said that it can evolve into Rayquaza." A boy said.
"Raquaza? What is that?"
Many people have never heard of Pokémon like Rayquaza.
Rayquaza is a Pokémon from other regions and is very powerful.
After hearing their conversation, Wu Ma shook his head. It was really fanciful to want the green caterpillar to evolve into Rayquaza.
The witch horse turned around and found that it was just as Xiaogang said. People here like Pokémon, and most of them are not trainers.
In fact, owning Pokémon does not mean you can be called a trainer. Pokémon have long been integrated into people's lives. For some people, Pokémon are more like pets. The number of trainers is actually
Still relatively few.
"Have you heard? Ding? Axiang's big butterfly was stolen." A voice suddenly came to Wuma's ears.
Wu Ma walked over curiously and listened.
"Yes, many Pokémon have disappeared these days. It is said that there are ghosts at work." Someone said in a low voice.
"No, it's said to have been stolen."
Everyone was talking a lot and had different opinions. But what is clear is that many Pokémon have indeed disappeared.
It was the old man from before who came over.
"Oh, this is the fifth missing Pokémon this week."
"Are there so many Pokémon missing?" Wuma asked.
"Yes. Although there were cases where Pokémon went missing in the past, it would only happen once a month at most. But the recent disappearances have become too frequent."
Hearing the old man's words, Wu Ma suddenly felt that something was not right. With so many Pokémon disappearing in one week, it was not like an ordinary theft.
But this doesn't have much to do with Wuma. As long as no one comes to steal his Pokémon.
Seeing Xiaogang and Xiaomi chatting happily with everyone, Wuma walked out of the room to get some fresh air.
At this time, he suddenly saw a sneaky person walking towards the alley next to him.
Wuma originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but he remembered the stolen Pokémon he saw on the Santeanu. If he and Yu hadn't rescued them in time, those Pokémon would have been killed.
The members of Team Rocket were taken away, or they would sink into the sea with the ship and lose their lives.
Wu Ma has a feeling that the sneaky man is definitely related to the Pokémon theft. If he can find any clues, he might be able to rescue the Pokémon.
Wu Ma made up his mind and followed quietly.
The man was wearing a black robe, and instead of walking on the street, he was walking back and forth in the alleys.
The Wuma followed closely, keeping a certain distance at the same time to prevent being discovered by the other party.
Turning the corner of the alley, Wuma suddenly found that the man was missing. He carefully took a few steps forward.
Suddenly, a person grabbed his shoulder from behind.
"Who are you? Why are you following me? What's your purpose?" came a hoarse voice.
Wu Ma was nervous. If he made the other party anxious and slashed himself, he wouldn't have time to take out the Pokémon.
"I... I just want to ask you, do you want to go to the game arcade to play games? I have discounted game cards here." Wuma's mind was working quickly and he began to sell game cards.
"Oh, I don't know when you started selling game cards. Is this your side job, Wu Ma?"
The other party's voice became no longer hoarse, and even made Wuma feel a little familiar.
Wuma turned his head and saw that familiar face.
"Jade! It's you!"
No wonder Wu Ma felt that the figure on the back was familiar, but he didn't expect it to be Yu.
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon. I thought it would take a long time," Yu said.
"What are you doing here?"
"Are you here to investigate the disappearance of Pokémon?"
Wu Ma suddenly figured it out.
"Then you went to the Pokémon Club to investigate, right?"
"That's right." Yu nodded.
"The disappearances here are a bit strange. I came over to investigate after receiving the order."
"Is there any progress?" Wu Ma asked.
"There are indeed some, but it has nothing to do with you. This investigation will be very dangerous, so you'd better not participate."
"If I didn't know about this matter, I wouldn't care about it, but now that I know it's you who wants to investigate this matter, I'll naturally help. Although I'm not strong, two people are stronger than one. Don't worry.
, I will not hold you back." Wuma said firmly.
"Okay, but you have to promise not to act privately."
"Don't worry, I still know this."
Jade nodded, and then said: "If the information I investigated is correct, this matter may still be related to Team Rocket."
Sure enough, the large-scale incidents that occurred in the Kanto region could not escape the shadow of Team Rocket.
"They dare to Pokémon in the city, aren't they too brave?" Wuma said angrily.
"Team Rocket has great influence in the Kanto area. It can be said that they almost dominate the entire underground force. The Alliance tried to eradicate Team Rocket several times, but failed. You must be more careful in the future. You destroyed them before.
plan, and since your Pokémon is so special, they will probably keep an eye on you."
Wu Ma smiled helplessly, he had been targeted by Team Rocket for a long time. But fortunately, Team Rocket composed of three people, Miao Miao, will not be in too much danger."
"Is there any other information?" Wuma asked.
"No. We just investigated the situation of the Pokémon that was snatched away. It's not clear where the Pokémon was snatched away."
Wu Ma thought for a while and thought of a way.
"Do you know where the Pokémon was stolen?" Wu Ma asked Yu.
Jade nodded. "I know. What's wrong? Do you have any ideas?"
"Maybe I can find it there. But first I have to find a map of Rainbow City."
"I have a map of Rainbow City. I specially prepared one for this mission." As he spoke, Yu took out the map.
"Please mark all the locations where the Pokémon were stolen."
Jade took out a pen and quickly marked nine points on it.
"I have only investigated the situation of nine Pokémon, and they are roughly in these places." Jade said.
Wu Ma took the pen in Yu's hand, connected the dots, and finally determined an area.
"It should be here. Although the distribution of these stolen places is not regular. But what is certain is that in order to transfer the Pokémon in time, the location where they hide the Pokémon will not be too far from these places. Put these
The center where the dots are connected should be the location of their stronghold." Wuma said.
Jade was a little surprised. He didn't expect that he could find out the location of the stronghold in this way.
"But the area is so large, we can't be sure exactly where it is." Yu said.
The area where several lines intersect is still very large, and it is difficult to find the specific location.
Wu Ma looked at the map and suddenly felt that the middle location seemed familiar.
"Is there a game city here?" Wuma asked.
Jade nodded: "Yes, it is indeed a game city."
"This is it!" Wuma said excitedly.
Wu Ma suddenly remembered that it is said that the underground game city is a stronghold of Team Rocket. When I went to the game hall to play before, I had not thought of this. But if you are looking for a stronghold, it must be here.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look."
Jade trusts Wu Ma's judgment.
Putting away the map, the two of them walked towards the Game Game City together.
"Game City is definitely a huge stronghold, we must be careful." Yu reminded.
"I understand. We can pretend to be gamers and go in to look for clues."
I don't know why, Wu Ma suddenly felt excited. This kind of dangerous action is really exciting.
Wuma and Yuyue entered the underground game city with ease. After entering, they could hear very noisy sounds. Today it was more lively than last time.
"What are you playing for?" Wu Ma asked.
"Whatever. Don't forget, the purpose of our coming here is not to play games."
"Of course I understand."
Wuma found a game console and started playing it skillfully.
"Jade, do you want to give it a try? You can easily attract attention if you don't play games."
Jade felt that what Wu Ma said made sense, so she sat next to him and started playing.
While playing, Jade looked around to see if there was anything wrong.
"Jade, how about our two-player online game?" Wuma asked.
The last time I played with Xiaomi, I never won. Wu Ma thought it must be Xiaomi's problem, so he wanted to try it with Jade.
"OK."
Yu and Wuma's machines were connected together and they started playing as a team.
"Jade, come here quickly!"
"Left left."
"Protect me, protect me!"
"Go quickly, go quickly. Behind the stone, behind the stone!"
"Hurry up, hit him, hit him!"
Wuma and Yu were so absorbed in the game that they both forgot what they were doing here.
After playing a few games, Wuma unplugged his headphones angrily.
He and Yu lost all the games they played together. The last time they lost was because of Xiaomi, but this time they lost because of Yu.
Yes, that must be the case.
It seems that Xiaomi and Yu are both rubbish at playing games.
"Quick, keep going!" Jade said.
Wuma took off Yuyu's headphones, stared at him and said, "Have you forgotten what we are here for?"
Jade was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered that he was here to investigate the case of missing Pokémon.
Wu Ma didn't expect that Yu would be even more obsessed with it than him. Moreover, his skills were very skillful, and he looked like someone who often plays games.
Jade took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, and quickly adjusted.
"Okay, now the two of us will work separately to see if there are any clues."
Wuma nodded and walked in the opposite direction to Yu.
Wuma looked at the game console while looking for clues, trying not to attract other people's attention. He walked around in a circle. Apart from some guards, there were people addicted to the game.
There is nothing special on the wall, just some wallpaper posters. On the posters are some promotions, competitions and some promotional posters for games. After looking at Wu Ma for a long time, I couldn't find any clues.
Suddenly, Wuma was hit and there was something in his hand.
Wuma turned around and saw a very short figure wearing a black robe.
Wuma looked at the thing in his hand and found that it was a drawing. The drawing was of a meow. The one who stuffed something for him just now was naturally meow. He didn't expect that meow would send him a message.
.
Looking at Meow Meow's self-portrait, Wu Ma suddenly remembered a Meow Meow poster.
Wuma slowly walked to the side of Meow Meow's poster. The poster was in a corner and was easy to ignore. It is normal to put up Meow Meow posters. Meow Meow is also called Lucky Meow. It has the ability to attract wealth. It is placed in the game.
It's not against the rules in the city, so no one will notice.
According to the tips Meow Meow gave me, if nothing else, Team Rocket’s stronghold should be behind this Meow Meow poster.
Wu Ma calmly found Yu and told him the matter.
"Are you sure Team Rocket's stronghold is inside?" Jade asked quietly.
Wu Ma nodded and said with a smile: "I have inside information."
Yu raised his eyebrows. He didn't really believe what Wuma said. But now is not the time to dwell on this.
Jade walked over and carefully checked it, and found that the poster was posted on the wall, and there was nothing special about it. He continued to fumble, and finally touched the location of Miaomiao's gold coin. He found that there was a slightly raised place.
After pressing it, there was a "click" sound and a gap appeared on the wall.
Jade pushed gently and the door on the wall opened.
Jade quickly entered the door. Wu Ma followed Jade closely. No one except the guards noticed that two people disappeared in the game hall. The guards were also from Team Rocket. When they saw Wu Ma
Ma Heyu was able to enter through the secret door by himself, thinking that he was one of his own.
After entering the secret door, there is a long stone tunnel inside. There are dim lights on both sides of the tunnel, so you can barely see the road inside clearly.
After walking forward for a while, you found a staircase going down.
"I'll go down first, you follow carefully." Yu said softly.
Wu Ma nodded to express his understanding.
Jade walked down the stairs slowly, his steps were very light and he didn't make any sound.
Wuma also tried to walk down, but there was a slight sound when he landed. If he wanted to be completely silent like Yu, he couldn't do it.
After walking down the stairs, a metal door appeared in front of the two of them. There was a card slot next to the door, and it seemed that you needed to swipe your card to enter.
Jade took out a card from her arms, put it into the card slot and swiped it.
There was a "ding" sound, and the metal door opened directly.
Wu Ma was very surprised. He didn't expect that Yulian had Team Rocket cards.
"This is just an ordinary key card. It's easy to get. Okay, follow me now. Don't talk. If you find anything, pull my clothes."
I saw Yu taking off her clothes, revealing a set of black clothes. On the chest of the clothes, there was a big r written on it. This was the uniform of Team Rocket.
Jade put on a hat and mask, and even Wu Ma couldn't recognize him at all. Wu Ma even doubted whether Jade was from Team Rocket.
I don’t know what the Rockets think. Although wearing a mask can hide your identity, it is also easy for others to sneak in.
"Then what should I do?"
Jade can change clothes, but Wuma cannot.
"It doesn't matter, just follow me and I will find a way."
Wuma followed Yu obediently, and the two of them walked in.
The situation inside the metal door is completely different from the outside. The surrounding walls are all made of metal and look very solid.
After walking forward for a while, you came across a corner.
At this time, Yu suddenly stopped.
The witch horse also stopped and stood closely behind him.
The two members of Team Rocket walked over, ignoring Jade, and naturally did not see Wuma behind him.
"Let's go!"
The two walked in the direction where the two Team Rocket members came. Not long after walking, they met two more Team Rocket members. However, this time they noticed Yu and Wuma.
"Who are you? I don't think I've seen you before." A member asked.
They all had their faces covered, and I don’t know how they recognized someone they had never seen before. Wu Ma complained.
"I am Fujita, who has just arrived. The person behind me is the Pokémon breeder specially invited here. Some of the Pokémon I caught before have problems and need to be checked." Yu said in a steady voice.
said.
The two members of Team Rocket stared at Wu Ma for a while.
"You also know the rules of the organization. People brought in from outside need to be kept secret, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."
"Of course I understand. Okay, I won't tell you any more. I have to bring people over quickly. If the Pokémon dies, it will be a big loss."
"Then you go quickly." The two of them walked away without too much doubt.
Wuma breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking behind Yu. After turning two corners, Yu stopped in front of a room.
Looking through the window of the room, you can see several Pokémon inside.
There is a password lock on the door of the room, and you need to enter the password to enter.
Yu placed a round instrument on the combination lock. With a click, the door opened directly.
Awesome. Wu Ma sighed in his heart.
If Jade was a bad guy, he would definitely be at the level of a Team Rocket cadre.
The two entered the room and closed the door.
Yu Shen walked around the room to make sure there was no one inside.
Wu Ma counted and found that there were far more than nine Pokémon here. In addition to the ones he knew about, there were other Pokémon that had also been stolen here.
Wuma searched for it and saw a Bada butterfly, which should be Axiang's one.
"What should we do? Do we want the Pokémon to go out?" Wuma asked.
Jade shook his head and said: "No. The defense here is too tight. We can't bring these Pokémon out with the strength of the two of us. But we have found Team Rocket's stronghold, which will be easy to handle. I will contact you after we get out.
The people from the Alliance will handle it. Then the Pokémon will be rescued."
"Then let's get out quickly!"
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
Yu gave Wuma a look, and the two quickly found a place to hide.
I saw a member of Team Rocket come in. He put the food in the bowls of the Pokémon one by one. Special potions were added to these foods. After the Pokémon eat them, they will become weak and have nothing to do.
Resist.
Jade instantly rushed behind the man, covered his mouth, and then inserted a needle into his neck.
The members of Team Rocket struggled for a moment, then collapsed to the ground.
So skilled. Wu Ma gave a thumbs up.
"Let's go quickly."
The two left the room and walked outside.
I hope it goes well when I go out, Wu Ma thought silently.
However, not long after they walked out, they met a member of Team Rocket.
"Who are you two?"
Jade said what she just said again.
"No, I am responsible for the captured Pokémon. Why haven't I heard about finding a Pokémon breeder? You are intruders!"
The opponent punched the wall. Alarms sounded throughout the passage.
"I've been discovered, let's go!"
They originally thought they could go out safely, but they were discovered by someone unexpectedly. The two of them quickly ran outside.
"Want to run? Go ahead, Big Mouth Bat!"
"The big-mouthed bat uses ultrasound!"
Big Mouth Bat used ultrasonic waves on Wu Ma and Yu.
Under the influence of the ultrasound, the two people covered their ears and felt very uncomfortable.
"Go ahead Reib, use a hundred thousand volts."
"Leib used 100,000 volts to hit the big-mouthed bat, knocking it directly to the ground."
As the alarm sounded, more Team Rocket members rushed out.
"What should I do?" Wuma asked, looking at the Team Rocket members surrounding him on both sides.
"There is no other way but to break out."
"Ice Eevee, freezing light!"
Ice Eevee uses freezing light to freeze the passage behind it.
"Fire Eevee, flame vortex."
Fire Eevee sprayed out flames and knocked down the person blocking them in front.
"Walk!"
Wuma and Yu bypassed them and ran forward quickly.
Not long after running, they were stopped again, and the opponent released a large number of Pokémon. Someone was chasing after them.
"Jade, you intercept the back, I will break through!"
Jade's three Eevee released their skills and stopped the people behind.
"Bidomon, Mega Cannon!"
Bidomon used its Mega Cannon at the people in front, knocking some of them to the ground.
"One-horned impact."
Bidomon rushed over quickly, knocking down everyone who blocked the way.
The two quickly ran over and turned into another passage.
"Come back Bidomon!" Wu Ma took Bidomon back.
Jade's three Eevee released their skills at the same time towards the rear. The special moves of three different elements collided together, reacted, and exploded directly. Even the tunnel made of metal was collapsed.
The two quickly ran over, opened the metal door, and ran into the previous rock passage.
Yu put away the treasures, picked up the clothes on the ground, and ran outside.
Wuma and Yu ran out of the secret door and returned to the game hall. However, the people playing games in the game hall did not notice it at all.
Wuma and Yu walked out of the game hall as if nothing had happened, successfully escaping Team Rocket's pursuit.
