Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 642 Looters (45)

"Miss Zhimeng, thank you very much for your help. If you have the chance, I hope to cooperate more with the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce."

"It's a pity that the goods I have are almost sold out. If there is a chance in the future, I will buy a lot of good products. Please patronize me more!"

From Zhimeng, a businessman stationed at the foot of Tianguan Mountain by the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce, Naqi used a batch of attribute gems of average appearance and poorly suited attributes to purchase a batch of supplies needed for training, combat, and life, as well as a considerable A detailed map marking wild Pokémon in different areas and several special dangerous areas.

Among them, there are as many as seven areas that have traces of the Niannianbao ethnic group in ancient and modern records, from north to south, including Wisdom Lake, Guanxue Hot Spring, Ancient Quarry, Pilgrims' Road, Trial Bar, Big Mouth Swamp, and Crimson Swamp.

Now that the ancient quarry and the Pilgrim's Road have been determined not to be the home of the Nianmei Dragon, the remaining areas are the two choices of going north or southeast.

After discussing with Naqi, the two decided to take advantage of the relatively warm weather and go to the north in spring and summer to make their time easier.

Nian Meilong looked at the lake on the map and nodded thoughtfully.

······
Mountain camp, Ludo's residence.

"excuse me."

Lai and Naqi opened the curtain at the door of the big tent and walked inside.

Although it is already May, in the cold Tianguan Mountains, you can still feel the obvious temperature difference between indoor and outdoor.

"Please take a seat, you two." Ludo stood up to greet him, "The conditions here are a bit rough, don't mind."

"Wherever I go, I'm very satisfied. All the supplies we want to buy can be purchased here, which solves our urgent need."

After a polite conversation, both parties sat down thoughtfully and talked about the "looters".

Seemingly sensing Lai and Naqi's intention to leave, Ludo became a little anxious, and even Mirko, who was slightly silent on the side, was also a little anxious, joining the conversation and helping out.

Between you and me, although the credibility is only about seven points, Lai and Naqi also have some preliminary understanding of the situation in this era and this region.

In terms of strength, although the ancient Sinnoh, that is, the Xicui region has more energy and is more suitable for the growth of trainers, but at the stage when education and technology are not developed enough, most of the trainers are still pure wild roads. The level of training is relatively weak, but the skills of fighting, especially the skills of wild fighting, are quite good because of years of outdoor exploration and fighting.

However, the result of this growth method is that although there are a large number of powerful trainers, there are few masters who can break through the kings or even champions. They are scattered in various camps, so there are shortcomings in strength.

The so-called "Marauders" are four powerful trainers who appeared about a year ago, sometimes acting alone, sometimes working together.

Previously, they were active in the southern part of the mainland, destroying many settlements and robbing a large number of scarce resources. Then, they kicked the iron plate in Zhuqing Village in the west, and were repelled head-on by Majiamu and the Galaxy team. The three of them were injured, so they turned to the north and began to flee and commit crimes.

With the mobility advantage brought by the unique aircraft and powerful flying Pokémon, even if Magam and others were stronger, it was difficult to catch up. In the past few months, they had succeeded many times.

Recently, the three camps in the Tianguan Mountains have all received threats from each other. They had no choice but to reduce their manpower and gather in the camp to defend themselves against each other by relying on their numerical advantage.

In Ludo's words, if the trainers in the camp keep gathering, relying on the experts near the Tianguan Mountains, everything can still be ensured. However, this will go against the original intention of setting up the camp.

The appearance of Lai and Naqi today made them think they were plunderers, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity when there were only two of them to strike first.

As a result, it was discovered that Lai was much stronger than the marauders. They were so shocked that Ludo and Mirko immediately gave up their resistance and instead wanted to use resources to stabilize the two of them. Then they quickly informed Magamu and Gang Shi et al.

Taking four blurry photos, Lai and Naqi looked at them carefully together, but the more they looked at them, the more familiar they became. Looking at each other, they found the same doubt in each other's eyes.

With this eye-catching blue hair and R logo, if it’s not Apollo among the four generals, who could it be?
The three people beside him were undoubtedly Athena, Lance and Lambda.

It seems that there are not a few people who have traveled through the time and space rift. There is Bei Shang in the front, Ming Yao in the middle, and the four generals of Team Rocket behind them.

Lai withdrew the photo with great interest, wondering if these four were the ones he defeated and captured before.

"Mr. Maia, Miss Fiona, have you seen them?" Ludo asked softly. "Maybe, but I'm not entirely sure, and it wasn't in this area, it was a long time ago. Over here in our hometown, these people are members of a powerful evil organization, and they are high-level cadre."

Rai selectively presented part of the truth to fool Ludo.

Ludo didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, and said bluntly: "I don't know if we can entrust you to defeat these people? We can provide rewards. They are definitely not as strong as you. I can use the Galaxy team's Reputation guaranteed.”

A "ding dong" seemed to flash in my mind, and an "exclamation mark" seemed to appear above the head of the person in front of me, just like an NPC who issued a mission.

Putting away the wild imagination in his mind, Lai did not agree on the spot, but said: "This is a big matter. I can't answer you yet. However, we hope to stay in the camp for one night and let Fiona and I discuss it. May I?"

"Of course, you can stay as long as you want. I completely understand how you feel. If you need anything here, you can find both of us at any time." He didn't say anything, and Lu Duo didn't dare to push too much. He could only be enthusiastic He agreed.

Mirko, who was somewhat inarticulate, stood up and guided Lai and Naqi to find an open space with a relatively good environment for the two of them to camp.

"There are many members of the King Kong team and people from the eastern settlements here. If possible, I hope you can lend a helping hand and help everyone. The King Kong team will be grateful to you." Before leaving, Mirko hesitated for a long time and left a message .

······
In the night, outside the tent, the natural bird has used its superpower to block all sounds inside, and Doronbaruto is also on guard in the shadows to ensure safety.

The two people who lived in the same tent for safety reasons were talking quietly under the light.

Lai was always slightly apprehensive about using all his strength to fight in this time and space.

However, considering that the four generals of the Rockets are still operating as a whole, Lai suspects that, unlike Beishang, they have memories of time and space travel, which will also be a good source of information.

Naqi didn't think too much, she just calculated the resource reserves of the two.

For the champion Pokémon, even daily training and growth consume a lot of resources. Considering that she doesn't know how long she will live here, the rewards proposed by the two teams of Galaxy and King Kong make her a little bit nervous. Heartbeat.

Although Lai himself was not a family member, he was very aware of Naqi's thoughts and hard work. He put his arms around the shoulders of his girlfriend who had lost weight in just half a month and said, "I know what you mean, accept this commission." If so, we will be more confident when we go north to help Nian Meilong find a home."

"Well, yes. But it still depends on your judgment. You know a lot of things, but I don't understand them very well, so you can make the decision. I support you." Na Qi leaned back, leaning on Lai's chair. His body and eyes were filled with light and trust.

"My main idea is that if we want to fight, we have to fight quickly and ensure victory with one blow. However, this involves a question, do they have subordinates, and are they on the same level as us? Those four people who fought. These all require sufficient planning."

While squeezing Naqi's shoulders with moderate force, Rai slowly expressed his thoughts.

With the power of the heart and massage, the shoulder pain and stiffness that had gradually accumulated slowly subsided.

Naqi narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned into Lai's arms like a cat, and said in a lazy tone: "What is your plan? I know you must have a plan, right?"

"No, not yet," Len said softly.

"Huh?" Naqi jumped up and sat up straight, "No?"

"I lied to you, I already have a preliminary plan."

With a force, he turned Naqi's body around and made her sit on his lap. He shaved the tip of her delicate nose and said with a smile.

His hands were not idle either, so he beat Naqi's legs.

"It's disgusting! It scared me." Naqi thumped Lai's chest angrily, and Naqi relaxed again, enjoying Lai's attentive service, "If you do this again, I'll beat you."

"First of all, we will move out of here tomorrow without telling anyone."

The night was getting dark, and when Rai and Naki turned off the lights to rest, Ludo's tent was still lit.
