Chapter 285 Let me dance a light-year away!
With just one "Swallow Return," Commander Pi Zhan killed the trump card given to him by the boss—the Lucky Kappa—in one blow. This left Disch and Qiu Wansui completely dumbfounded, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
After killing the Lucky Kappa, the Commander of the Slashing Beast cast his emotionless and dangerous gaze upon them.
"Diszhong, the old boss's trump card is gone... What other ways do we have to deal with this..." Qiu Wansui was so frightened by the slashing of the commander that he stammered.
"Okay, it seems like there isn't any more..." Disizhong stammered along with him.
"No, no, no... we must have another way..."
That is...
'
The two men with afros exchanged a glance, and they could tell from each other's eyes that their thoughts had aligned.
"escape!"
As the word "escape" was uttered, Disch and Qiu Wansui kicked up a clump of dirt on the land of the Orange Blossom Forest. In an instant, dirt and grass clippings flew everywhere, obscuring their vision, and the two had already escaped to a distance of ten meters.
Although the people from the Orei region are not good at Pokémon.
But their physical fitness and ability to escape in dangerous situations... are beyond question.
Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth.
In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the tangled thickets of Petalburg Woods, leaving behind only the Ludicolo lying on the ground and the net bag of Poké Balls that the two had dragged with them when they arrived.
"You run really fast..."
"You guys clean up the scene, I'll go after them. Hmm... Higana, you should come too, anyway, you'll just be a hindrance rather than a help in cleaning up the scene."
Ze Shu said something to the back, then pulled up the fossil pterosaur that had just used as a "glider" to swoop down from the mossy rocks, and let it flap its purplish-gray bony wings vigorously, carrying him quickly through the Orange Blossom Forest.
Seeing Zeshu pull the fossil pterosaur away into the distance, Higana's face immediately puffed up.
"I'll just follow you if you tell me to, why do you say I'll only make things worse!"
"Do you think I'll really make things worse?!"
Higana asked the person next to her indignantly.
But before Xiaolan and Shafiya could give their answers, she puffed out her cheeks, not giving them a chance to answer, jumped onto the back of the Flying Dragon, and flew off in the distance following Zeshu.
The shadows of the trees swayed and swept quickly past on both sides.
A short while later, the two afro-haired men reappeared in Ze Shu's sight.
These two people with red and white afros seemed to be shining brightly in the Orange Blossom Forest, shouting eye-catching things like "I'm here, I'm not hiding, come and catch me."
Moreover, no matter how fast Diszhong and Qiu Wansui moved their legs while fleeing.
However, it's no match for Aerodactyl, a Pokémon positioned as a "predator"—even though Petalburg Woods isn't suitable for flying.
The fossil pterosaur made quite a commotion when it flew, and it even made a "whoosh" sound as it skimmed over the leaves.
This immediately startled the two men with afros.
"Diszhong!! That expert is right behind us! What do we do?! We're going to get caught!"
"Long live Qiu!! I don't know either!"
They shouted at each other in panic.
"If you get caught, according to the rules outside, you'll go to jail, right? And then you'll be abandoned by Boss Disju!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"We can't get caught! Otherwise, we can't go back to report to the boss!"
Then the two looked at each other.
Both sides were resolute.
"Diszhong, just sacrifice yourself! Let me run faster than you!"
"Lord Qiu, may your leg be broken too!"
During the run, the two were able to use their hands and feet to strike each other. One with an afro punched the other's thigh, while the other was able to stomp on the other's ankle.
In the blink of an eye, the winner was decided between the two.
A man with an afro fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then clutched his ankle in pain.
The other man with the afro endured the pain in his thigh and continued running frantically.
Ze Shu couldn't tell who was Disi Zhong and who was Qiu Wansui, as they looked very similar.
But the one who fell should have been Diszhong.
because..
"Long Live Qiu, you're despicable!!"
"Disch, the treasure your boss gave you, which you kept hidden in your Silicon Beryllium City home, will now be inherited by me, hahaha!!"
As Qiu Wansui drifted further and further away, Diszhong was heartbroken. He wished that he was the one lying on the ground instead of Qiu Wansui.
Since I've fallen...
Then I'll have to face the legendary imprisonment, right?
As Diszhong thought in despair, he suddenly noticed a purple pterosaur shadow sweeping past him and chasing after another man with an afro.
"Huh?" Diszhong was stunned for a moment.
Yup!
In this scenario, "you don't need to escape successfully, you just need to run faster than your companions."
The goal is to slow down one's companion so that one can outrun them. Therefore, the pursuer must concentrate on capturing their companion to create space for their own escape.
So Disizhong only hit Qiu Wansui's thigh.
But Qiu Wansui kicked his own ankle, causing him to fall.
In a situation where someone falls down directly, the pursuer will naturally chase the one who hasn't fallen yet!
Could it be...? Could it be...?
For some unknown reason, Disch suddenly burst into tears.
Is this what you intended?
Diszhong stared at the fleeing figure ahead and couldn't help but sniff.
"He just said he wanted to inherit my estate. Wasn't that a sarcastic remark reminding me... that he'd leave the inheritance to me after I successfully escaped?"
Since that's the case, he must also carry on his companion's last wish!
Inherit your companion's legacy!
Diszhong struggled to sit up, trying to escape.
Then, suddenly, a surprised voice came from above, "Huh? Why is one of those guys with the afro lying here? Where's the other one? Never mind, let's catch him first!"
He looked up and met the gaze of Higana on the ferocious head of the Salamence.
Disizhong: ∑（°A°；
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it! Even Disch is down, why is this guy still chasing after us?!"
Qiu Wansui glanced back and saw the fossil pterosaur still leisurely hanging behind him, while he himself was almost stepping off the fire wheel, his strength rapidly waning, which filled him with despair.
He can only hold on for another ten minutes!
Suddenly, as he was running, he heard a voice coming from ahead.
-
"Hyperactive monkey, stop him."
As soon as the sound fell, he saw a red-nosed, white-furred ape suddenly appear and block his way. With a wave of its long arm, a transparent, pulsating ball of true energy shot straight toward him.
In the midst of a desperate run, it is already difficult to react quickly. Then, Qiu Wansui felt as if his thigh, which had just been punched, had been punched again!
Qiu Wansui mirrored his companion's earlier actions, collapsing weakly to the ground, rolling several times among the bushes before finally lying there dazed. A moment later, the fossil pterosaur swooped down, pinning him to the ground.
"Wow, it can really run fast."
Looking at the afro after jumping to the ground, Ze Shu couldn't help but admire the speed, stamina, and adaptability to the environment of this runaway man. He had to admit, he was quite something.
I heard that the area around Orei is all desert, with towns separated by scorching yellow sand, and there are basically no Pokémon to help you. To survive there and even manage to become an "external staff member" in Hoenn, you must have some real skills.
Thinking about it, Ze Shu looked at the hyperactive ape that had just helped him.
And an ordinary-looking man in a jacket emerged from the bushes ahead.
"Qianli?"
"It's me. Zeqi, we meet again."
This time, Qianli was not as solemn and serious as before; instead, he seemed relaxed and happy.
The hyperactive ape, its red bottom gleaming, trotted around Qianli, who then patted its forehead with a smile.
Ze Shu asked with a smile, "Didn't you go back to Chengdu? Why are you here again?"
Qianli said, "I was looking for a location for my dojo, in Orange Blossom City. I heard the commotion here, so I came to check it out."
It turns out that after that explosive-haired guy's desperate run, Ze Shu chased him all the way from the northeast corner of Orange Blossom Forest to this southwest area near Orange Blossom City.
Ze Shu asked in surprise, "You... you can be the gym leader?"
Qianli smiled slightly: "Yes."
More than four years have passed since he participated in the Gym Leader selection. He has finally become a Gym Leader, no longer needing to tirelessly travel the world for that fabricated charge, and can finally bring his wife and son to Hoenn to live a peaceful life...
This is Qianli's simplest wish.
Ze Shu smiled and said, "Then congratulations."
"This... I can only do this ahead of schedule because of what I asked you to do..." Qianli paused for a moment, then continued, "The dojo is under construction; it's still just a building in the ground up."
"But...after you've finished apprehending this fugitive, could you...come over for a chat?"
Ze Shu paused for a moment, then said, "Of course."
"Then I won't bother you any longer." Qianli glanced at Qiu Wansui, who was being suppressed by the fossil pterosaur, then turned and left, disappearing into the grass.
At this moment, the fossil pterosaur is roaring.
"roar-!!"
Under its claws.
Qiu Wansui cried out in anguish, his voice rivaling the roar of the fossil pterosaur: "Diszhong is already lying on the ground, why aren't you catching him? Why are you still chasing me? If you keep doing this, Diszhong might escape!"
"Ze Shu, Ze Shu! Look what I caught!"
Just then, riding a Salamence, Higanbana arrived, grabbing Dist.
Qiu Wansui:
'
With tears in his eyes, Diszhong said to his companion, "Lord Qiu, I have failed your sacrifice! I cannot inherit your legacy!"
Qiu Wansui: "???"
"Now, those two are arrested!" Higana said as she saw Ze Shu tying them up. "It felt so easy to catch them; they just collapsed to the ground on their own."
Qiu Wansui and Diszhong: ǒ0
"Speak. What are you doing here?" Ze Shu asked casually as he tied the two men with afros together and tightened the last bit of rope.
Qiu Wansui stubbornly raised his head and shouted, "We, we're here to capture... no, we're here to capture Pokémon! Yes! We're here to help Boss Disqiu capture Pokémon! You're wronging us! Release us right now!"
"Otherwise, Boss Disju won't let you off the hook!"
"Oh?" Ze Shu asked with interest, "Your boss Disju won't let me off the hook? How will he not let me off the hook?"
Disch said seriously, "Boss Disch will tie you up in an underground tunnel and make you dance non-stop for a month! If you stop, he'll electrocute you!"
Ze Shu: "Heh. Well, I'll really have to look forward to it."
Qiu Wansui: "Hehe! You'd better really look forward to it!"
Diszhong: "Hehehe! I'll make you so tired you can't even feel your arms and legs!"
Ze Shu: "————"
He felt that these two people did indeed have some brain problems.
He then asked, "What, don't you have any Pokémon to import from your Ore region? You have to come here yourself to catch Pokémon?"
There are almost no wild Pokémon in the Orei region; they obtain Pokémon entirely through "importing."
Qiu Wansui replied earnestly, "Of course! About a month ago, not many Pokémon were being brought in from Orei!"
"Even Boss Disju's Realgar Arena doesn't have Pokémon as prizes anymore."
Ze Shu continued, "So your boss Disju just slapped his brain and sent the two of you to Hoenn to catch Pokémon as prizes for that arena thing?"
Disch exclaimed in shock, "How did you know?!"
"Are you also one of Boss Disju...?"
'
Ze Shu: "Don't speculate. That's just my guess."
However... what Qiu Wansui just said is that no Pokémon have been shipped into Orei for about a month now?
Isn't this the same time he previously destroyed the Pokémon hunter's hideout on the southern island of Sinnoh?
So that's how it is...
These two people were able to come to the Hoenn region.
Can we blame him, the investigator?
Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth.
"No matter what, we were just catching Pokémon! You've wronged us! Untie us!" Disch Chung struggled to speak. "Otherwise, Boss Disch Chung won't let you off the hook. He'll make you dance for a month! A year! Ten years! A century! A light-year!"
He recounted all the units of measurement for "time" that he knew.
"Heh." Ze Shu tightened the rope binding them both. "Didn't I say? I'm looking forward to your boss dealing with me. If I don't tie you up, why would your boss deal with me?"
Half an hour later.
"That's the situation. They're in your hands now. Don't just let them go on a whim. I'll need them later, and I'll come back for them."
Zeshu threw the two monsters, Dischu and Qiu Wansui, who had been shouting for half an hour, onto Daigo's Shiny Metagross. With a loud "bang," Shiny Metagross's red eyes immediately revealed annoyance—did it have to hit so loudly?!
Daigo sighed. He had already heard the gist of the matter from Sawaki, and his face was full of worry: "This is really something. The situation with Team Magma and Team Aqua hasn't been settled yet, and suddenly a shadow organization from the Ore region has appeared."
Zeki: "Maybe there are some rare stones in the Ore region."
Daigo's eyes lit up, and his worried expression vanished instantly: "Really?"
Daigo is really something else; he changes completely when it comes to minerals.
Ze Shu: "I just said it offhand."
Daigo was still stubbornly fantasizing: "Maybe there really are other kinds of stones in the Ore region."
