Elf: Who told him to be an investigator!

Chapter 25 Dizziness is normal

Ze Shu looked at the land in front of him. Although it was very flat, there was no trace of digging.

However, he couldn't help but have some doubts about the professionalism of these people who were suspected to be from Team Galaxy.

The problem is, it's been leveled too much! It clashes horribly with the surrounding land, clearly flattened with some ground-type move—it's almost like trying to hide something obvious.

That's fine too.

When he restores the scene, he can probably restore it to about 70-80% with a single heavy step.

"Start digging! But be careful..."

Ze Shu took out a shovel he had prepared beforehand from his spatial pouch and gave a small shovel to Ice Eevee.

It's fair to say that there wasn't a single Pokémon present that had learned Dig—GlassEevee could learn it, but it hadn't. Rex could also learn it, but it stated that it was born standing on land and had never been underground.

I had no choice but to dig it myself.

Then, seeing that the pot was also trying to help, Ze Shu wanted to give it a small shovel, but unfortunately it didn't have hands, and it wasn't flexible to hold it with its mouth—its stone body would fall over as soon as it tilted.

So they had to hand the shovel to Patchlitz, who came later, so that the electric mouse could also dig.

then.

As the civil engineering project progressed.

Tree, of course, disguised himself as a tree again to stand guard.

The foam squirrel sometimes looked disgusted, sometimes relaxed, as it used its tail to brush away the dust that had settled on Ze Shu.

Time passed second by second.

Looking at the corner of a steel box that had appeared in the increasingly deep pit, Ze Shu frowned. "It really is Team Galactic..."

Because the box also revealed a logo on its side—a gold-stamped capital 'G'.

After carefully digging out the entire surface of the box and opening it, a huge bomb was revealed inside.

The bomb also has some gold-plated Galaxy logos on its surface.

Galaxy Bomb!

The manga depicts Team Galactic's specially made bombs capable of destroying an entire Lake Risshiden and even evaporating the entire river, possessing immense power.

If this bomb were to explode, not only Xinqi Lake, but also the surrounding Zhensha Town and the forest where the foam squirrels and pot-shaped monsters live would likely suffer drastic changes.

but.

Now the bomb is his.

Ze Shu carefully picked up the bomb, but frowned slightly: "No, it's a bit too light..."

To him, the bomb seemed to be nothing more than an empty shell.

Using the system's identification, he obtained information that made Ze Shu twitch the corner of his mouth—

[Galaxy Bomb - Imitation]

The item that Team Galactic hastily copied from the "Galaxy Bomb" only looks the same on the outside; it's stuffed with a lot of junk inside and won't explode at all.

Ze Shu: "Heh."

Also.

If it were a real bomb, how could it be placed here without any defenses? This incongruously flat land is actually enticing Officer Jenny, who might notice something amiss and come to patrol and investigate, and him.

but……

This fake bomb could be put to use.

Ze Shu wasn't too disappointed. Instead, he observed the fake bomb with great interest, occasionally taking out his phone to take many photos.

Record the location.

They immediately buried it on the spot, and then used heavy stomping to level the ground.

"It wasn't a wasted trip after all." Ze Shu clapped his hands, then looked at the many Pokémon behind him and cautioned, "Stay away from here as much as possible for now. Something dangerous might happen..."

"Oh, right." Ze Shu suddenly remembered something and asked the Pokémon around him, "Do you know which powerful Pokémon live in this forest?"

……

Two days later.

night.

There were many rustling sounds coming from the woods. These were the sounds of many people moving forward, their bodies rubbing against the branches and trunks, accompanied by the heaving sounds of them working together to carry things.

"Keep your voice down!" Suddenly, a female voice rang out. "Our Galactic Team spent so much money hiring you, not so you could make noise and give yourselves away!"

"Hey, Team Galactic's leader... that's not right," one of the voices replied. "You wouldn't let us use Pokémon to move things, and now you can't even make a sound about our hard work?"

"Pokémon should be used for vigilance and defense!" the female voice simply replied.

"You bastard!" someone protested. "Hmph...we need a break! You've made us do this hard labor for so long."

"Now! No one will come here this late!"

Immediately.

A chorus of complaints arose.

Huo Xing was furious.

Team Galactic spent a fortune hiring Hunter J to send her his henchmen, but they're all rotten trash!

After this operation, we must show Hunter J what happens when he makes fun of Team Galactic!

But having no other choice, since these people were still somewhat useful, Hoshin had to compromise: "Don't stop! Let your Pokémon carry it! You can rest while walking!"

"Yay!"

There was a loud thud as something heavy hit the ground, followed by a whimper from the large wolfhound, which seemed to be struggling under the weight.

"Carry it properly! My big wolfhound, we've been carrying it for you for so long! This is your job!"

"Woof woof—"

The big wolfhound's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

But this did not stop the sound of footsteps as the crowd dispersed, and every now and then someone would idly scatter leaves, making a rustling sound.

"Woof woof—"

"Hmph, keep an eye on your big wolfhound! I just need to pee..."

A figure parted the bushes, venturing deeper into the darkness of the forest, loosening his belt, ready to release his pent-up desires.

It can happen immediately.

A strong gust of wind swept in from behind, accompanied by a loud thud.

"Shh...take a deep breath, feeling dizzy is normal."

This was the last thing this person heard before he fainted.

The area behind where this person fell.

Ze Shu shook his hand, which he had gripped too tightly, and looked at the person dressed entirely in black: "Heh, after waiting for two days, they've finally arrived. The first person here is about the same build as me, how lucky."

"However, with so many Pokémon hunters, Team Galactic seems to have only a handful."

The thought process did not affect the action.

He pulled off the clothes of the person who had fainted in front of him, put them on himself, and then rolled around on the ground, getting his body covered in mud and smearing some mud on his face.

Ze Shu walked out leisurely.

Only a damp patch remained, gradually spreading from beneath the person who had been standing there.

……

As soon as he stepped out of the woods, he was confronted with a question: "Hey! What are you doing...?"

Ze Shu pointed to the mud on his body, lowering his voice but also exasperated, "What's wrong with the path in this forest?!"

The man didn't have many questions.

After all, Pokémon hunters aren't exactly familiar with each other.

The large wolfhound twitched its nose, somewhat suspicious. But the heavy weight on its back only allowed it to howl pitifully a few times, which was met with a few laughs and curses in return.

Silently following the main group, we gradually arrived at the shore of Xinqi Lake.

The leader of the Galaxy Team, Huo Xing, seemed to have gone to the other side of Xinqi Lake to investigate, and then returned with a relaxed expression—Ze Shu noticed that the direction she went was the place where he had dug up the fake bomb before.

"Heh, they didn't even notice our smoke bombs..." Huo Xing murmured softly, then raised his voice slightly and said to the group, "Open what we brought! The procedure is simple this time!"

"Bury the things at the bottom of the lake."

"Who's coming?"
