At the entrance to the tall grass in front of the Tower of Heaven, although the detective had a rough idea of the battle in the tower, he did not choose to climb the tower himself to rescue the Phantom Pokémon trapped in a special Poké Ball.

The reason is a bit complicated, but for Hugo it is a natural mode of thinking -

Adek and Yogs face off against each other on the Tower of Heaven, and the latter, who is not mentally prepared for the strength of the champion, is sure to lose. However, Hugo suspects that if he enters the Tower of Heaven at this time, his strange constitution may cause an inexplicable accident, thus changing the outcome of the battle on the tower and making the situation that would have been beneficial to the Alliance side out of control.

Staying where you are is is not an option.

Yogs came down from the tower, and Hugo, who had no combat ability, was still unlucky even if he had the protection of the king of the plasma regiment. Besides, there was no need for him to meet with the Sage of the Plasma Regiment, which was no benefit at all—although Hugo had read the historiography of Jöggs, it was far from being an avid book aficionad.

So, after all the things that can't be done and can't be done, all that's left is the next thing to do.

At the same time that the sage in Tsing Yi was stunned by the true body of the fire god moth, the ambulance convoy called by the detective in advance with a text message on his mobile phone also arrived at the scene.

At Hugo's urging, the ambulance crews commanded the medical Pokémon and prioritized the wounded near the green-haired youth to the car. By the time Yoggs and the Symbol Bird glided down the tower and knelt in front of N, the ambulance convoy had circled to the back of the Tower of Heaven to rescue the wounded there—just in time to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Dangerous Sage.

Before leaving, Hugo makes a deal with N: the detective promises to find a way to liberate Bictini from the Tower of Paradise instead of N, and N wants to make up a reason to expel Yogs from Fukiyoshi City.

"There aren't many people I trust in human beings." I remember that at that time, N asked Hugo so earnestly -

"The Pokémon that brings victory should be a very big temptation for trainers, so I hope that you, not someone else, will liberate that elf instead of me."

N didn't want to see Bictini lose his freedom in another way after being liberated, so he put a condition on the deal between the two.

"Since you've added a limit to our trades, let me add one as well."

The detective replied.

"There are priorities - I'm more concerned about the condition of the trainers' partners in the ambulance than the Phantom Elves who are being held by the Plasma Regiment, and I'm going to create a chance for them to get back to their trainers."

The green-haired youth frowned, "I won't help you in this matter. ”

"Don't bother with your Majesty - in the face of an evil organization that does whatever it wants, there will be many people in this city who are willing to help."

。

"Leave the battle to me! Watch me beat all the bad guys who robbed other people's elves! ”

In the break room of the Pokémon Center in Fukiyoshi City, a brown-skinned girl stands in front of the detective.

The girl looks energetic, with a huge hairstyle on her head that is not proportional to her petite size - in addition to the long purple hair braided into a ponytail on both sides of her head, she also uses a bow to comb the rest of her hair behind her back to form an oversized puffy head that seems to be able to use a small Pokémon as a sleeping bag.

No, the statement about sleeping bags doesn't seem to be a metaphor.

In front of me, there was actually a baby Pokémon with huge fangs poking its head out of the girl's hair and looking at Hugo curiously.

It is a dragon-type Pokémon that is a specialty of the United Nation region, and can eventually evolve into the teeth of a two-axe battle dragon.

"I've heard Miss Joy say here, you're a detective, and you know the whereabouts of those bad guys, right? Then let's hurry up and get back those stolen Pokémon within today! ”

The girl with a tooth in her hair was full of confidence, and without waiting for Hugo to reply, she eagerly pushed him outside.

"Wait, wait, wait." The detective pressed the other party's head, and finally stood firm, "Who are you, Joey, who asked me for the commission, said that the main force of this operation is the head of the gym in Fukiyoshi City, and that Miss Fenglu is right, a little ...... like you"

In the middle of speaking, Hugo seemed to see something strange in the girl, and stopped talking stiffly.

Just as different life experiences are engraved in the details of mannerisms like tree rings, strength will also leave a unique mark on the trainer's body.

Tempered stance, sun marks from long travels, slightly worn fabrics from intimate encounters with giant Pokémon, cocoons rubbed between fingers and tiger's mouths by Poké Balls, and the confidence that can only be built up by constant victory...... At the same time, these signs show that the little girl in front of her, carrying a cub Pokémon, is not as weak as she seems at first glance.

"Huhuhu, it seems that you have a lot of vision. It's really a detective recommended by Miss Joy. ”

Noticing the detective's cautious gaze, the purple-haired little girl stood with her hips crossed with a triumphant smile.

"My name is Alice, and I am a dragon attribute expert with the qualification of the leader of the Dorm Hall in Shuanglong City, and the level of Pokémon battle is even more powerful than Sister Fenglu here, of course I am qualified to fight crime as her substitute."

"Substitutes? Where did the original Wind Dew Pavilion owner go? ”

"Originally, she was going to come here with me, but on the way here, she saw a suspicious element flying in the sky riding a symbolic bird, as if wearing a plasma group costume, so she changed her plan and followed on a flying Pokémon - I will arrest the robber instead of her."

It was probably Yogs who had just come down from the Tower of Heaven, Hugo thought silently.

This sage was really unlucky, he had just been defeated by the United Champions, and he had to abandon the Phantom Elf in his hands, and he was immediately reprimanded by the king, and wanted to "Fly" to leave Fukiyoshi City, but he didn't fly far and aroused the vigilance of the leader of the Flying Gym...... I don't know if he will think of the old saying "Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way".

"Alice, I think you're a good Pokémon trainer, but arresting criminals is much more serious and brutal than fighting elves." The detective said with a serious expression.

"Personally, I'd like to wait until the police are assembled before starting the operation with them, so that the manhunt will be much safer – from what I've got, they can do a city-wide search in an hour at most."

"But even if the police start a search, they may not be able to arrest the culprit, right? Miss Joy commissioned us to cooperate in order to prevent the worst from happening. Rather than cooperating with the police, we should take the initiative. ”

The little girl was more nimble than Hugo expected, and immediately rejected the detective's passive and conservative plan of action.

"Don't worry! I'm very strong. ”

Just as short people care about their height, Alice stressed seriously in front of Hugo.

"Just before I came to Fukiyoshi City, I also defeated Grandpa Xiaka, who was also the head of the Gym in Shuanglong City with me, and that was the leader of the Gym in earnest. I now carry the strongest partners I had at that time, and even compared to the police force in Fukiyoshi City, I am confident that I will not be left behind. Big brother detective, now is the time when every second is the case, so hurry up and show me the way. ”

As she spoke, Alice simultaneously threw a red and white Poké Ball into the open space outside the Pokémon Center. In the next moment, a tyrannosaurus with blood-red wings on its back appeared in front of the two of them.

As soon as he appeared, a strong dragon pressure shook the surface of the earth. This Wyvern was larger than the average of its kind, with a fierce but calm look in his eyes, and seemed to be well trained.

"You should trust my fighting ability now, right?" Reaching out to caress the Wyvern's neck, Alice asked the detective behind her.

"There's a problem." Hugo pondered for a moment before speaking, "You have always said that you will race against time to complete the arrest operation today, because there is something urgent to do after that?" ”

"Of course!"

The girl hooked the neck of the giant tyrannosaurus, climbed it like a tree, and shouted to the detective condescendingly—

"After solving the incident in Fukiyoshi City, I'm going to go to the Tower of Heaven here to challenge Grandpa Adek. I've been late for half a day, and if I don't hurry, I won't be able to make it to the duel with that Vulcan Moth! ”

Time does not wait for anyone, and it is impossible to return.
