Chapter 274 The Guiding North Star
That's exactly what Xia Mu thought.
Even the lovable young widow Ergui from Kitakami Village was tabooed because she was regarded as a "terrible evil spirit" due to the one-sided view of humans, and Absol, who warned humans of disasters, was also hated as a calamity beast.
It is rumored that the Four Calamities, born from curses and desires, may have been destroyed by the wicked and greedy king, who then sealed them away.
Xia Mu spoke with such sincerity that Xiao Yao and Zi Yu, who could see this, fell into a brief silence.
Although they were a little angry because of Xia Mu's earlier concealment, they also felt that Xia Mu was right.
At this moment, Officer Jenny, who had finally gotten a chance to speak, immediately spoke up.
"I'm not trying to arrest Xia Mu, so what's the rush?"
???
Upon hearing this, Xia Mu and the other two immediately fell silent.
At some point, they seemed to have come to the conclusion that Officer Jenny had come to arrest Natsuki.
After making a sarcastic remark, Officer Jenny continued, "Actually, I came here mainly to seek Natsuki's help, to find out if he has any information about the Four Calamities, or if he has come into contact with any related items—and it seems you do have the information we need!"
Then, amidst the puzzled looks from Natsuki and the others, Officer Jenny proceeded to explain the alliance's plan.
The purpose of arresting Natsuki is not to prevent disaster from occurring, but to prevent disaster from suddenly appearing. Therefore, we seek Natsuki's help, who may be related to the incident, and release the Four Disasters from the narrow shrine under control.
Xia Mu nodded knowingly.
It was all because of Xiaoyao's sudden betrayal that her brain circuits went awry. She almost thought she had transmigrated into some kind of dark fantasy world and had to nip the danger in the bud.
However, there is actually a mainstream understanding in the current Pokémon world.
That is—there are no inherently evil Pokémon. Many Pokémon do bad things because their trainers are bad guys.
Rescue, educate, and reinvent—this is the League's current policy for dealing with bad Pokémon.
"To be honest, even though there are always people on the internet who clamor that Dark-type Pokémon are 'born evil,' there are actually many members in organizations such as Interpol and police departments who like to breed and use them—I even bred a Dark-type Mastiff Godfather as my partner Pokémon."
As she spoke, Officer Jenny's gaze towards Natsume and the others turned resentful.
"What was originally a simple inquiry has turned into me getting a lecture from you all—"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao and Ziyu immediately lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Feel sorry!"
"sorry!"
Compared to the two women who apologized with remorse on their faces, Xia Mu still had one more thing to ask.
"And what about the one codenamed 'Calamity'? You called me a 'Calamity' the moment you came in!"
"Hmm—actually, its full name is the North Star of Calamities, representing that we regard you as a guiding star capable of finding the four calamities, so we'll call you Calamity Star for short!"
Looking at Officer Jenny's composed expression, Xia Mu had a feeling that this woman wasn't telling the truth.
However, because of the outburst he had just given Officer Jenny, Natsuki didn't dwell on the topic any longer.
At this moment, he had more important things to do. After all, if the Padia Alliance was preparing to release the Four Calamities, wouldn't he be able to easily obtain those sealing stakes with attributes and sealing abilities?
"Let me make this clear first, getting my help isn't cheap—"
Seeing that Natsume chose to move on from the previous topic, Officer Jenny immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The thought of casually mentioning the title she'd heard from Officer Jenny of Unova, which led others to believe that Natsuki could be called something like "The Fifth Calamity of Padia, the Walking Calamity," was something she genuinely couldn't bring herself to say.
Therefore, at this moment, she patted her chest and declared.
"It's alright, our Padia Alliance is quite wealthy! Besides, the person in charge of this mission is Reho, a history teacher at Orange Academy. She's a huge history buff and extremely interested in these legends, so she'll definitely be very generous!"
Just as Officer Jenny was confidently assuring Natsuki that he would make a fortune, at this very moment, at Orange Academy in Tabletop City...
A woman with her hair in a ponytail was excitedly packing her luggage.
"I thought I'd be stuck at school for the rest of the time, but I never expected to have a chance to go treasure hunting! Hahaha!"
Reiho recalled her painful experience of being forced to stay at school after being caught by the principal for skipping class and going on adventures. Then she thought about how, thanks to Xia Mu, she was now able to go out and explore the mystery of the Treasure of Calamity.
Even though Leihe had never met Xia Mu before, at this moment, her affection for Xia Mu was rising at an astonishing rate.
"Wow, what a good kid!"
Leihe was eager to head to Shenbo Town to meet up with Xia Mu, but before she could even pack her luggage and leave the house, a man who looked very tired appeared in front of her.
"Aoki Tenno?"
"Hello, Ms. Leihe, I am Aoki, and I am the Alliance staff member who will assist you in this mission."
Aoki's black suit was still ironed so straight, his voice was still so weak, and even the few strands of white hair sticking up on his head were still so unrestrained.
But in Leihe's opinion, Aoki seemed more irritable than usual today.
And Leihe's intuition was correct.
Aoki originally thought that as long as he asked Hachisaku to change Natsuki's training location to another city, he would never see Natsuki again, who was always energetic and full of whimsical ideas.
but----
Aoki needed the opinion of Natsuki, the Gym Leader of the City of Gold, who was at the entrance of the Padia Crater, to help him and Natsuki go to the Padia Crater. In order to avoid Natsuki and Aoki, these two unreliable guys, causing big trouble in the Padia Crater and adding unnecessary work for him, Aoki rejected Aoki's application.
As a result, Aoki became entangled with the strange tree and was bombarded with information once again.
This reminded Aoki of the time when Natsuki had bothered him for the sake of Taijing's training, and it made him determined not to let Kiju and Natsuki, those two unreliable guys, enter the Padia Giant Pit.
But just when he finally managed to get rid of Qishu's harassment by using the alliance's urgent work as an excuse, he discovered that the work was still related to Xia Mu.
Therefore, he is very irritable right now.
He knew he had encountered something dirty in the United States, and that thing had followed him all the way to the Padiya region, but now he didn't know how to solve the problem.
That's life, isn't it? Plans can never keep up with unexpected events.
Under Leihe's strange gaze, Aoki sighed deeply.
"Let's go, Ms. Leihe, we need to get to Shenbo Town as soon as possible."
"Alright! Let's go!"
The energetic Leihe and the listless Aoki went out.
