Chapter 345 Leo's Flying Kick
"What do you want to do?!"
When Zeki asked, "Are you the raiding party?", Mirei instantly became extremely wary, looking at Zeki with hostility. But then, she noticed Little Meteorite following beside Zeki.
Her eyes widened: "Leo! This is it too!"
Despite knowing that he had little chance of winning against Zeki, Leo still stood seriously in front of her after hearing Mirei's words, with a pink and a black Eevee beside him also looking at Zeki with a serious expression.
Ze Shu looked at his own little meteorite and asked Mi Lei, "What's a little meteorite?"
Mireille gritted her teeth and said, "Don't you know? This is a product of the Shadow Organization's insane evil!"
Ze Shu: "I know."
Mireille said hatefully, "Since you know, then you...."

"Not only do I know, but that's why I just beat up that Disju here," Ze Shu added. "He's probably locked up in some dark, hopeless place right now, questioning his existence."
Mirei: "???"
After she realized the meaning behind Ze Shu's words.
Shocking!!
"Huh?!!"
"Beat that infamous Disjuo...beat him up?!"
"You guessed right, Leo... the device on his right hand is Team Steal's infamous Steal Device." The Steal Device can transform a regular Poké Ball into a Steal Ball with the "Steal" effect, allowing you to capture other players' Pokémon.
But...but!
"Leo isn't a member of the capture team! Uh... at least not now."
"So that means Leo used to be a member of the raiding party?"
In a suite at the Huangtie Grand Hotel, facing Ze Shu's questioning, Mirei slammed her hand on the table and argued, "Yes, yes, Leo used to be a member of Team Stealth. But he didn't do much bad stuff. He wasn't, wasn't much involved in Team Stealth's thievery and theft of other people's Pokémon elsewhere!"
"Instead, he blew up the capture team's base and stole their valuable capture equipment, severely weakening the team and leaving them with no energy to carry out their atrocities!"
"Even more, Leo is now willing to fight alongside me against the super-evil Shadow Organization!"
"Even though we're using the stealing device, we'll only steal Pokémon from those Shadow Organizations that have been turned into Dark Pokémon! We'll take back these Dark Pokémon, purify them ourselves, and restore them!"
"The Sandshrew we just captured at the dungeon entrance was a Dark Pokémon!"
"So, so, we're not bad people! We're not bad people like the Pokémon Stealing Team who randomly steal Pokémon!"
"You must believe in me and Leo!"
"We are currently investigating the Shadow Organization, and we must thwart their evil plot!"
Higana blinked and exclaimed, "You guys are amazing!"
Mirei answered earnestly, "My grandfather was the village chief of Agate Village and was once known as the strongest trainer in the Orei region. He always wanted to make the Orei region as peaceful as other regions, but he is too old to do so. He can only do his best to protect the area of Agate Village."
"Despite the harsh natural conditions of the Orei region, where no Pokémon can inhabit, we Orei people can definitely develop if we work together. But the fact that it's still so chaotic must be because of those thieving teams and shadow organizations that are committing crimes and atrocities in the Orei region!"
"But as my grandfather's granddaughter, I must destroy them!"
Mirei clenched her fists in resentment.
Leo nodded. He was the type of person who didn't talk much.
Ze Shu then said, "Since that's the case, what are your plans? I might as well tell you, although our goals are somewhat different, eliminating the Shadow Organization... well, if possible, we can still do it as a side effect."
"Can I do that easily?"
Although Mirei already knew that Zeki wasn't an Orei, but a powerful trainer from elsewhere, this statement was still far too arrogant. The Shadow Organization was an evil organization that loomed over the entire Orei region like a shadow!
"Yes, if the Shadow Squad's executives are all at the level of Disju, this is a piece of cake," Ze Shu explained, giving Mirei some confidence. "You can trust my abilities, and what I need from you is information about the Shadow Organization—they're too timid and too well-hidden to be easily found."
Although that useless Disju said a lot, it was all fragmented and not very useful information. The only core information that Zeshu truly obtained was the Dark Lugia number "XD0001."
He needs more information.
"We don't know much either..." Upon hearing this, the stubborn girl lowered her head, but she quickly seemed to remember something and raised her head again, saying, "But, but, we do know one thing!"
"The raiding party has intricate connections with the Shadow Organization!"
Zeshu asked, "How did you contact me?"
Millie replied, "It's roughly like this... the Pokémon theft team steals Pokémon, then hands over some of the stolen Pokémon to the Shadow Organization in exchange for money... and the Shadow Organization also provides money and equipment to keep the theft team running..."
Ze Shu nodded.
Got it, the Shadow Organization is the mastermind behind the takeover team.
"In that case, perhaps we can start by infiltrating the Shadow Organization through the Acquisition Team. So, where is the Acquisition Team's base now?" Ze Shu looked at the taciturn Leo. "As a former member of the Acquisition Team, you should know, right?"
Leo nodded: "I know. But they are very powerful."
Mirei stared wide-eyed at Ze Shu: "Yeah! They're really strong! And the raiding team has so many of them! We can't just force our way in, can we? Even if we do, the raiding team won't expose any clues about the Shadow Organization, right?"
"Is that so?" Ze Shu thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't I pretend to be a member of the Shadow Organization and go to their place to investigate the raiding team? If it's really as you say, that the Shadow Organization is the mastermind behind the raiding team."
Mirei was terrified by the idea: "W-how can I pretend like this?!"
Ze Shu laughed, "Perfect timing. Didn't I just beat up Disju? He said that being one of his subordinates is a high-ranking position in the Shadow Organization. Whether he was lying or not, at least in the eyes of the raiding team, he should have some status."
However, the capture team's base is quite far from Pyrite Town, so it's not advisable to go there immediately; some preparations are needed first. Meanwhile, Higana keeps suggesting they go to Silicon Beryllium City, which is next to Pyrite Town.
Because the environment there was better, with flowing water and a Poké Ball purchase point, it was the only normal city in the Orei region. So Ze Shu set off for there.
Upon arrival, the silicon-beryllium market was indeed different.
In stark contrast to Huangtie Town, where yellow sand blankets the landscape and exposed steel bars and bricks are everywhere, the entire city of Siberian is surrounded by three concentric circles of white Roman columns. Between each concentric circle, clear, flowing water gurgles endlessly, resembling a magnificent and prosperous ancient Roman city.
This city is nothing short of a miracle for the Ore region, where 95% of the land is covered in rolling yellow sand.
Huangtie Township and Siberium City are only half an hour apart, but they are worlds apart, one underground and the other in the sky.
"Mayor Barclay, who led the people to find these trickling streams of water, is the greatest man!" Residents like Misawa Itsuki, standing by the roadside, exclaimed in amazement and admiration upon seeing the city.
At his feet was a Marie-Ruby, soaking in a fountain in the central square of Silurian Town, happily squinting her eyes and patting her belly with her two tiny hands that were too short to touch each other.
"If that's the case, then he's quite admirable," Ze Shu replied.
"Of course! Of course! Mayor Barclay is the greatest man!" The residents were satisfied with Ze Shu's answer and stopped bothering him.
The environment is conducive to growth; the people of Silicon Beryllium City are far more civilized than the swindlers and con artists of Yellow Iron Town. If the entire Ore region had an environment like Silicon Beryllium City, which at least has water, the chaos would likely be much less.
Zeshu was thinking this.
But then he suddenly noticed that Mirei was staring at another person by the roadside. Or rather, staring at a walking grass that was affectionately hugging his neck on his shoulder.
Mirei suddenly exclaimed, "Leo, this is one too!"
Walking beside Mirei, Higana looked completely bewildered: "What is it?"
Millie gritted her teeth and whispered, "Dark Pokémon!"
Higanbana was puzzled. She pointed at the Oddish and said, "Aren't dark Pokémon supposed to be emotionless? But this Oddish is rubbing against that person so affectionately! To me, there's nothing different about it. Isn't it just a normal Pokémon?"
"No!" Millie declared confidently, "This is a Dark Pokémon! I can sense the dark aura emanating from this Pokémon!"
Higanbana: "Huh?"
"Leo, we need to find an opportunity!" Ignoring Higana's surprise, Mirei said to Leo, and then hugged him, pretending to be a couple as they slowly followed the person carrying the oxtail on his shoulder.
"Judging by their posture, these two 'couple' would actually be quite suitable to be investigators." Blue said to Zeki as Blastoise was being moistened by a running tap on the roadside.
Ze Shu chuckled before saying, "Let's go. Let's go take a look."
From an alley in a corner of Silicon Beryllium City, a pitiful cry rang out.
"No!!!"
"Why, why, why did you steal my Oddish?! You damned raiding party!"
A flash of red light completely stopped the shaking of the Poké Ball that Oddish had captured, and Espeon used its psychic powers to send it into Leo's hands.
Meanwhile, the owner of the Oddish was lying on the ground, helplessly watching everything unfold like a powerless husband.
"Speak!" But Millie clearly wasn't going to let him off the hook. She yelled at him, "Why do you have a Dark Pokémon! You damned Shadow Organization!"
The man shrank back: "I...I don't understand what you're saying..."
""
Mirei pressed, "Where did Oddish come from?!"
"I bought Oddish with coins two months ago!" The man's voice was filled with injustice. "All I wanted was a Pokémon that would obey my commands! What right did you have to steal my Pokémon! Damn stealing team! Oddish is my property! I bought it with my money!"
It turns out that Oddish's affectionate rubbing against the man's neck was just a command given by the man, which the oblivious dark Pokémon Oddish was carrying out.
It was not a voluntary act by the walking grass at all.
Mirei angrily said to the man, "You said you bought Oddish Grass two months ago, but I can sense that its dark aura is still very strong and shows no signs of dissipating. This means that Oddish Grass has not been purified at all. You haven't taken good care of Oddish Grass at all!"
"Then we'll steal your Pokémon!"
"You clearly want Pokémon that are willing to follow you and that you can develop a good relationship with them! Why buy a Dark Pokémon?!"
Although it's difficult to obtain Pokémon in the Orei region, this man was able to buy Dark Pokémon, so it's natural that he could obtain Pokémon that aren't Dark.
Man: "I...I...we did date!"
He lowered his head.
"My first Pokémon was a Bellsprout. I loved it so much that I even bought it a flowerpot and watered it every day. But ever since it evolved into a Bellossom, it has been biting me and hurting me."
"I specifically consulted the great Mayor Barclay about this matter."
He said: "That's just how Pokémon are. The better you treat them, the more they ride roughshod over you. This Bellsprout is already incredibly stupid." But I didn't believe it. I sold the Bellsprout to Mayor Barclay and then bought another Pokémon.
"That was a Paras, a glutton. I bought it all sorts of expensive berries every day. But, but, it evolved, becoming a Parasect..."
""
"It doesn't recognize me anymore! And it won't let me touch it!"
"This corroborates the mayor's theory."
The man covered his forehead.
"I...I can't accept it..."
'
All I want is to get along well with Pokémon and live a good life...

"Parasite won't let me touch it, but I've already grown attached to it, and despite the expensive fruit it bears every day, I've decided to keep it."
"But, but..."
"Two months ago, the mayor told me that he had a Pokémon that could obey my commands 100%. I could tell it to jump, and it would jump; I could tell it to rub against me, and it would rub against me; it would never hurt me..."
"I'm smitten."
"I sold Parasect and then bought the Pokémon the mayor mentioned."
At this point, the man smiled happily.
"It was only then that I finally understood the beauty of Pokémon."
"I don't have to worry about Oddish disobeying me at all. I don't even need to put any effort into Oddish; I can just toss it on the windowsill and let it bask in the sun. It will never hurt me; on the contrary, it will rub against me affectionately because of my commands."
"You know what? Once, I even tried to tear off the leaves from its head, ripping them to shreds, and the Oddish didn't budge! You know, if that had happened to a Microblob, it would have bitten me pretty badly..."
"Ugh!!"
The man hadn't finished speaking.
A sharp pain shot through my cheek, followed by a dizzying sensation as I slammed into the cold, hard ground with a loud "thud."
Leo delivered a flying kick that slammed his entire head into the ground.
"You! You! You are not worthy of raising Pokémon at all!" Millie's chest heaved as she angrily said to the man.
