Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 28 A Single Net Sweep

But external circumstances couldn't affect Zeki. He faced the divine powers and venomous fangs of the Bronze Bell and the Zubat.

He remained expressionless.

The magical power distorted the air and reached him. But with a deft flick of his finger, Ze Shu's Poké Ball popped open, and a colorful parrot glowing white appeared before him.

Seeing the oncoming supernatural power, the noisy bird let out a terrified cry, flapping its wings and unconsciously shielding itself with its bright red wings.

"Giggle!!"

The pre-arranged protective shield instantly opened!

boom!

The immense power of the bronze bell, accumulated over a long period, struck the protective light barrier with a loud bang, but was firmly blocked. The impact only caused the feathers of the noisy bird to tremble.

Seeing his supernatural power blocked, Hostar snorted, "Now's the time, Golbat!"

On the other side.

Caught off guard, the giant beak-bat squeezed into the gap between the noisy bird's guard and the swamp tree. The sharp teeth were gleaming with a deadly purple light, and its small eyes on its large beak were full of ferocity.

Just as the venomous fangs were about to fall on Ze Shu's neck.

Ze Shu twisted his body, his eyes flashing with fire, and slightly increased the distance between himself and the giant beak bat. Then, he reached out and grabbed the giant beak bat's flapping wings, tearing its body and wings wide open.

Although Zubat is a bat Pokémon, it is actually quite large, over a meter long, resembling a large bird. However, as it is being pulled by Zeju, it looks like an extended shield.

Its four purplish teeth tried to bite down hard, but Ze Shu caught it, always just a little short.

"Iso—!!"

Even so, the giant beaked bat remained ferocious. Its wings trembled violently as it tried to break free, but even with its purple skin turning red from the effort, it still couldn't escape.

Looking at the giant beaked bat in front of him, which he tried to bite but couldn't, Ze Shu chuckled and said, "Shut your mouth, and I'll let go. How about that?"

"Iso—"

The big-mouthed bat couldn't close its mouth; it was being pulled so hard by Ze Shu that it was somewhat dazed.

"Then I regret to inform you that I've confused you..."

Seeing the bronze bell unleash its supernatural power once more, and witnessing the panicked expression on the bird's face as it could no longer defend itself, Ze Shu smiled. Taking advantage of the moment when the giant beak bat in his hand was somewhat dazed, he suddenly threw it out, causing it to collide fiercely with the supernatural power.

Huo Xing's eyes widened: "Bronze bell, stop..."

But the bronze bell still could not regain its supernatural power.

Buzzing—!

When the giant beak bat's body came into contact with the supernatural power, it was almost twisted into a ball. Then, its twisted, spherical body was thrown high into the air by the subsequent impact of the supernatural power.

Then suddenly.

A beam of frozen light ripped through the night sky from below, striking the giant beak bat that had just been thrown into the air by the supernatural power!

boom!

All that could be heard was a sudden, abrupt groan of pain from the giant beetle before it was knocked unconscious in mid-air, rendered unable to fight. Its powerless body crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up clouds of dust.

"Buee—!!"

Seeing that Zubat was powerless to resist, Glaceon puffed out its cheeks and glared fiercely at the remaining Bronze Bell.

It also wants to shoot down this other guy who's trying to attack Ze Shu!

"Alright," Ze Shu smiled and gently comforted Glaceon, "It didn't actually cause me much harm."

Huo Xing: "..."

My carefully planned offensive was described by him as having caused little harm?!

Although it's true, it's still a bit too harsh to hear!

She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "You! You clearly have this kind of strength, yet you still pretended to be my subordinate and infiltrated my ranks. It's simply... simply..."

In her anger, she couldn't think of any adjectives to describe it.

"Sigh..." Ze Shu sighed, "I didn't want to either. But isn't this the only way to wipe you all out in one fell swoop?"

If it were at Lake Heartbeat, with its "wind-proof" terrain, many Pokémon hunters and Team Galactic would definitely have to escape.

But now, 90% or even 100% of them have been "led" here by him, and there's no way they can escape.

"See, none of your men should have missed anything, right?" Ze Shu teased.

"How should I know!" Huo Xing said through gritted teeth.

At this time.

"Hahaha! No leaks, no leaks!"

A cheerful voice came from behind Ze Shu. The man with the red afro and Infernape strode forward. "I was worried that your plan might have some flaws, so I followed you from a distance. But I didn't expect these Pokémon hunters to actually trust you."

"You're amazing! It's all thanks to you that we were able to wipe them out in one fell swoop! I'm absolutely blown away! By the way, let's get acquainted. My name is Da Ye, and I'm currently one of the Elite Four in Sinnoh."

Da Ye patted Ze Shu on the shoulder.

Huo Xing's expression turned ugly.

They had initially thought that Team Galactic and the Pokémon hunters, united as one, would be fearless against the police in Sandstone Town. But now, lured by Sawaki into this ambush-filled terrain, even with their superior strength, they were like trapped beasts, finding it difficult to break free.

I never expected that one of the Four Heavenly Kings would appear.

The probability of them escaping is already extremely low.

As for why it's not zero, it's because there's still one other way...

Huo Xing gritted his teeth, looked at Ze Shu, and threatened, "You should know. That bomb is under Xinqi Lake. The only way to disable the detonator there is with a code that I know! If..."

"Then you should know as well," Ze Shu interrupted with a smile, "that I personally carried the bomb under your orders, right? Actually... the bomb wasn't even placed on the detonator..."

He pointed to the space backpack and took out an identical galactic bomb.

"When...?" Huo Xing's pupils contracted, his face filled with utter despair, and his body swayed precariously.

"Leave the rest to me!" Big Leaf said, hands on his hips, looking at the Pokémon hunters who were still stubbornly huddled together. "As one of the Elite Four, it's not fair for me to enjoy myself while you guys work so hard!"

Ze Shu shrugged: "Then it'll be tough on King Da Ye from now on."

Upon hearing this, Da Ye laughed heartily: "It's not hard work, it's not hard work... it's all thanks to you."

……

Faced with the Elite Four-level strength of Big Leaf, the Pokémon hunters present were quickly overwhelmed and obediently handcuffed by the police. Of course, Team Galactic's four executives, including Starpowder and his subordinates, also couldn't escape.

This is the end.

Tonight's operation was a complete success. All the perpetrators of the Xinqi Lake bombing were apprehended; almost none escaped.

According to the Alliance Archives, Ze Shu's achievements account for 90% of the credit.

Zeshu, who had been staking out this group of people at night for two consecutive nights, was finally able to get some rest.

However, before that...

First, you need to find the Snow Child in the Dark Forest.

The whistle of the "Black Glass Whistle" that startled wild Pokémon in Lake Heartbeat was blew by Sawaki when he temporarily released Snorunt to ask for its help, causing some wild Pokémon that had already been communicated to appear.

So Zeshu returned the way he came and found Xue Tongzi sitting quietly by Xinqi Lake, gazing at the lake.

"Yoki——!!!"

Upon seeing Ze Shu, Yuki-Douji, who had been terrified and trying to hold back her tears in the dark forest, suddenly burst into tears. With a sob, she grabbed Ze Shu's trouser leg with her short legs under her straw hat.

Ze Shu chuckled and picked it up to hug. "Okay, okay, I won't do that again. Thank you so much, you've been a huge help this time."

"Yo, yoki..." Hearing this, Yuki-Douji buried himself in Sawaki's arms and made a muffled sound.

"What?" Ze Shu was stunned for a moment.

"Yoki!"

"As long as it can help Zeqi, no matter how scared I am, I will still want to do it..."
