I am the boss of Sakaki

His movements were steady, accurate, ruthless, and fast, almost as fast as those of an elf. It was obvious that he had received professional training.

To a normal person, this attack seemed almost unstoppable. However, Sakaki didn't even show a trace of emotion.

After all, each of Sakaki's shadows is a master of assassination.

When Shadow first came out, Sakaki and Matt trained together.

So as for assassination or something like that, wanting to deal with Sakaki is simply a pipe dream.

Sakaki's hand, which had just crushed more than a dozen heads, was raised at a speed beyond the limit of visual capture, and he arrived first!

Five slender, powerful fingers that seemed to contain the strength of steel, grasped the young man's wrist holding the dagger with incredible precision!

"Crack!"

The sound of bone-crackling rang out clearly! The young man's wrist was instantly crushed and deformed. The severe pain made him scream miserably, and the poisoned dagger fell into a pool of blood with a clang.

"Oh?" Sakaki's lips curled up slightly, a playful smile that looked like an interesting toy. "You don't look like a nobody."

After all, ordinary hunters don’t have such skills.

"Sir! I remember now, he is Hunter F! One of the chief hunters of the guild!" Only then did Shouichiro finally see the unique silver "F"-shaped tattoo mark almost covered with blood under the young man's torn clothes. He was so scared that he screamed and revealed the young man's identity.

He had just been completely fooled by Sakaki's actions and the young man's superb disguise.

"Traitor! Shouichiro! You traitorous beast!" Hunter F was in great pain. When he heard Shouichiro's voice, he turned his head abruptly. His eyes were burning with a flame of hatred that was even more intense than when he faced Sakaki. He wished he could cut Shouichiro into pieces with his eyes.

"Hunter F..." Sakaki whispered the name, and the amusement in his eyes deepened.

He certainly knew what being a hunter with a letter as a number meant in the guild.

Basically, he is the chief, and his position is similar to that of the Shadow Chief of Team Rocket. He is the real core force of the guild, stationed at the headquarters, and holds the most core secrets.

He remembered that Sinnoh had another female hunter codenamed "J". She was ruthless and had extraordinary abilities. She was a pure and impressive villain.

The strength is also very good, but he chose the wrong opponent in the end.

And this F in front of us has been lurking until now, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate. His character and strength should not be underestimated.

Sakaki did not loosen his grip on Hunter F's broken wrist. Instead, he lifted him off the ground like a chicken, leaving his feet kicking in vain in a pool of blood.

Hunter F's face turned purple due to severe pain and suffocation, but his eyes remained fierce and unyielding.

"Tell me," Sakaki said in a low voice, "where is the Hunter Guild's headquarters?"

He exerted force on his hands, and Hunter F let out a strange laugh from his throat, mixed with blood foam. He stared at Sakaki and roared with all his strength: "Don't... Don't even think about it! You... You will never know! The guild will not let you go! The leader will do it for me..."

"Very good." Sakaki, far from being angry, nodded with satisfaction, as if he had found material worth polishing. "It's a tough nut to crack."

He appreciates toughness, but enjoys destroying toughness even more.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sakaki threw Hunter F into the thick shadow behind him as if he were throwing away a piece of garbage.

He had let Gengar out a few times before, but Giratina didn't seem to be able to get out of Gengar's body.

Maybe Sakaki's Gengar isn't that special.

Maybe a coffin would be useful.

"Gengard." Sakaki whispered softly.

"Jiejiejie——!"

A shrill and soul-shaking laugh suddenly rang out!

The shadow moved as if alive, and Gengar emerged, his crimson eyes gleaming with pure malice and delight.

It grinned evilly, and its invisible spiritual tentacles instantly wrapped around Hunter F in mid-air, dragging him violently into the abyss of shadow!

“Ahhhhhh——!!!”

A shrill, inhuman howl erupted instantly! The sound was filled with unimaginable pain, as if the soul was being repeatedly pierced, torn, and crushed by billions of red-hot steel needles!

Gengar's power to torture souls is true torture.

The Seven Sages of Team Plasma are the best example.

However, as Sakaki becomes stronger, his opponents also become stronger.

It would not be fun if a master from another world really came and solved their curse.

So, now Sakaki doesn't rely on this.

In the shadows, Hunter F's body twitched and twisted violently, as if countless bugs were crawling under his skin. His eyes rolled back, and saliva and blood flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth.

His mental defenses were shattered like fragile glass under Gengar's manipulation.

The howling lasted for what seemed like a century, and eventually turned into the dying whimper and meaningless mumbling of a wild beast.

When Gengar's shadow dissipated, Hunter F collapsed to the ground, like a pool of mud without bones.

His eyes were glazed, saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and his body was still twitching unconsciously. He had been tortured to the point of completely losing his human form, leaving only an empty shell.

Gengar licked his lips in satisfaction and looked at Sakaki with his scarlet eyes.

"Hypnosis." Sakaki ordered.

The red light in Gengar's eyes grew brighter, and invisible mental waves enveloped the mentally broken Hunter F.

After a moment, Hunter F's dull lips opened and closed, "Hidden Spring Road, below the Hidden Spring Road."

Sakaki took note silently, his eyes as deep as the abyss.

Is the most dangerous place the safest place?

The Hidden Spring Road is very close to the Pokémon Alliance. The fact that it remained undiscovered for so long suggests that, in addition to the Hunter Guild leader's own abilities, the pawns they placed within the Sinnoh Alliance also played a significant role.

But speaking of it, Sakaki's Tokiwa City is not far from the Kanto Alliance headquarters.

It's all dark under the lamp.

At this moment, Shouichiro, who had been worried all the time, seemed to have found a life-saving straw.

He saw with his own eyes what happened to Hunter F, and heard the location of the headquarters being revealed. A chill instantly rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He knew that his value as a "guide" was depreciating rapidly as the location of the headquarters was exposed!

He forced his most fawning smile and trotted over to Sakaki, his back bent almost to the point of breaking. "My Lord! My Lord, you are so powerful! Now that we have found the headquarters, I... I know a little bit about it! There are some secret passages and mechanisms that I used to..."

He was eager to emphasize his surplus value, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at the unrecognizable Hunter F lying on the ground. He was so annoyed by him.

However, when he raised his head and met Sakaki's gaze, the flattering smile on Shouichiro's face froze instantly.

That wasn't the look of someone looking at a tool, or even a traitor.

That is a kind of indifference.

A kind of indifference, like looking down at dust, at a worthless object about to be discarded. The calmness is so chilling that it chills one's bones.

The blood in Shouichiro's body seemed to solidify instantly, and he was seized by an unprecedented premonition of death, more pure than when he faced Bangilas and the strange force!

The hairs on his body stood on end, and a thought flashed through his mind like lightning: Run! Now! Immediately! Get away from this demon!
