It was just noon. After finishing lunch at the Elf Center, Aoki walked onto Route 44, the only road east of Kaji City.
To the east of Kaji City, you can see a towering mountain in the distance. The top of the mountain is completely hidden above the clouds, and everything above the mountainside is covered with snow.
Aoki's goal is that high mountain. It is said that there are many caves extending in all directions in this high mountain. The inside is cold and cold all year round. It is a paradise for ice elves. I believe that I can find small mountain boars in it. As for the big rock snake, everything will be left to chance.
However, before reaching the snow-capped mountains, there is still a large forest to pass through.
The snow-capped mountains seem very close when you look at them, but when you actually walk there, you will find that after walking for a whole hour, it seems that they have always been this far away.
Now that we are on the outskirts of the forest, although there are gradually fewer people, we can still encounter quite a few.
However, compared to the forests outside Manjin City, although the total number of people in Kaji City is small, there are many more human traces in the forest.
Aoki met several waves of people on the road, all of them in a hurry.
Under Aoki's observation, he discovered that many of these people were actually members of Team Rocket.
As expected, it is the city with the largest Rockets base in Chengdu. The forest here has actually become a free training ground for the Rockets.
Although Aoki's clothes look very ordinary, wearing ordinary alliance trainer clothes, in this place, such clothes are a bit unusual.
Some Rockets members passing by him, although they were not wearing Rockets uniforms, looked at him with unfriendly eyes.
Those who are not Team Rocket will stay away slightly when they see what Aoki is wearing.
After all, Kaji City is an important base for Team Rocket, and it is no longer a secret among some trainer circles.
It's just that the resources here are relatively abundant, and the Rockets are not so crazy as to kill everyone who is not the Rockets. As long as it is not an obvious provocation and their identity is slightly concealed, the Rockets will not care.
But Aoki's outfit is more ostentatious.
The alliance is not weak in Kaji City, but it only remains in the city. After reaching the wild, it is basically the Rockets' world. Many alliance members do not dare to express their opinions openly when they leave Kaji City.
I am afraid of attracting the attention of some people in the Rockets who hate Alliance members.
In fact, it's not that Aoki doesn't want to change his clothes, it's just that he hasn't been to Kaji City for a long time and forgot about it.
It wasn't until he walked out of Kaji City and noticed the way others looked at him that he remembered what was going on here.
When I was a Rockets soldier in Kaji City in my previous life, I didn't need to pay much attention to these things. But now that I am a member of the Alliance, I am a little bit unresponsive to them.
But now that it has attracted the attention of others, I can only show my strength, hoping to reduce some unnecessary trouble.
"Come out, Slowpoke!" Aoki summoned Slowpoke.
The people around him who were paying attention to Aoki with hidden eyes suddenly stopped paying attention after seeing him summoning the Slowpoke.
They are all trainers who can survive in the wild. They still have some basic insights into elves. When they see Slowpoke, they know that this training is definitely not the kind of simple trainer.
If this kind of trainer goes up to provoke without thinking, he may suffer huge losses if he fails.
After Slowpoke came out, he felt that there were far fewer eyes around him, so Aoki let go and continued walking deeper into the forest.
However, although most people no longer pay attention to Aoki's situation, there are still a few pairs of eyes that are vaguely focused on him.
Even the existence of Slowpoke didn't make them give up.
...
After walking deeper for another two hours, there were almost no people around, and there were gradually more wild elves.
Suddenly Aoki stopped and said coldly, "Come out!"
After he finished speaking and waited for a few seconds, there was no movement around him.
Aoki laughed and said again, "No need to hide. When did Team Rocket become so timid in doing things?"
It wasn't until he said this that two people hiding behind the tree slowly came out. One was taller, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a gray coat, and the other was average-looking, wearing a
Wearing black coats, the two looked at Aoki with some surprise and teasing in their eyes.
"Boy, how did you discover us?" the taller young man of the two said, his voice a bit sharp.
Aoki sneered and said nothing. Could it be that your inferior tracking and disguise skills are so poor that you had already used them in your previous life?
"Brother Kevin, what nonsense are you talking to him? It may be that a blind cat has encountered a dead mouse. Let's solve it quickly and go back to hand in the task." Another ordinary-looking Aoki said, with no trace of arrogance or contempt in his words.
cover up.
A young man from Team Rocket named Kevin heard another person's words and stared at Aoki deeply for a while. He always felt that the young man in front of him gave him a vague sense of danger.
"Brother Kevin, don't wait. When others come, you will be snatched away." The young man was obviously impatient.
Kevin stretched out his hand to stop the young man who wanted to take action directly. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Your Slowpoke is pretty good. As long as you hand him over to us, we'll let you go."
"Brother Kevin..."
"Shut up!" Before he could finish his words, Kevin interrupted him directly. The unquestionable tone in his words made the young man behind him shrink his neck.
However, one could see the fear in his eyes, with a hint of severity and anger, but he concealed it very well.
Sure enough, he was attracted by Slowpoke.
Although Slowpoke's aura is not weak, anyone with a discerning eye can immediately see the difference in him. The attraction of the Flash Elf will make many people willing to take risks.
Under their gaze, Aoki hesitated for a while, then slowly took out a Poké Ball from his waist.
Seeing Aoki's action, the two of them were slightly happy. They didn't expect that for such a scare, the other party would offer the rare flash elf with both hands.
Kevin, who was standing in front, was filled with joy and a cold light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that he had overestimated the alliance trainer in front of him. He was just an alliance trainer, a flower in the greenhouse, and he actually put himself in a little danger.
The feeling is definitely an illusion.
At the same time, I was still thinking in my mind that this was a rare Shining Slowpoke. Is it worth it for me to deal with the companion behind me who had always been ill-intentioned towards me? One person is better than two people.
The young man standing behind Kevin also used the corner of his eye to glance at Kevin, whom he had been calling "big brother" in front of him. He slowly touched the Poke Ball at his belt with his right hand, ready to attack him at any time.
However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Aoki didn't put Slowpoke away and hold it up with both hands as they thought, but instead grinned and said, "The thing is here, come over here!"
