Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

"Who are you? You're so arrogant."

Silver-faced man narrowed his eyes and stared at the masked man unkindly, "Hey, could he be the investigator's undercover agent? Let me test it out..."

As he was talking, Yinmian actually put a accusation on the other party and was about to take action!

Some people might not dare to act rashly against a stranger like this whose background they don't know, but given Yinmian's personality, they would have to fight him to find out. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to be scared by a paper tiger.

If he accidentally kills the other person, it only means that the other person is not qualified to be his teammate, and he may be able to get more compensation from the Nishikawa family.

"Hey hey hey..."

Silverface grinned and took a few steps back, returning to the shadow of the big tree.

Then, a scarlet eye appeared in the center of the tree, and the shadow of the tree swayed like a flame, actually showing a ghost face!

The trunk of the big tree made a "creaking" sound, as if mechanical gears started to run, making it completely "alive".

In the darkness, several branches, some thick and some thin, waved in the air, then suddenly stretched out, cut through the air, and "whoosh" pierced the masked man, like several sharp arrows shooting through the air.

"Chirp~"

Without the man's command, the Poké Ball on his waist opened automatically, and a Sun Eevee jumped out and stood in front of him.

Sol Eevee has the features of a small cat, with purple fur and eyes. Its fur has a velvety luster and feel, and there is a beautiful ruby on its forehead.

at this time.

The ruby was flashing a dazzling red light, and a huge mental force emanated from it, instantly "freezing" the branch that was sticking out of the darkness, causing it to stop in the air and unable to move forward.

"Humph, it turns out to be just a rotten wood demon."

The masked man looked at the red eyes in the darkness behind the branches and snorted coldly, "Playing tricks!"

"Chirp!"

The red light on Sol Eevee's forehead became brighter, increasing the output of its mental power. Its superpowers continued to spread from the branches to the entire body of the Wood Demon, causing a pink light to suddenly emerge from its body, revealing its true form in the darkness.

I saw a strange "big tree" coming into view. There was a bunch of grass on its wrists and head, and its body was connected by sections of bark, like a ghost hiding in the tree.

"Tsk, it seems like I'm being looked down upon."

A silver-faced, shrill voice rang out from the darkness, "Rotten Wood Demon, let them see clearly whose territory this is!"

As if in response to Silver Face's words, the nearby woods seemed to come alive in an instant!

"Woo——"

The forest, which was originally quiet at night, now emits a demonic and shrill howl.

The surrounding trees swayed as if dancing, leaves fell, their outlines became more prominent in the night, and shadows twisted and deformed, creating an eerie and spooky atmosphere.

Countless branches quietly stretched out from the darkness. At this moment, the big trees were like soldiers obeying orders, using the sharp branches in their hands as weapons to surround the masked man and Sol Eevee in all directions.

"Ma'la, let's go..."

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yemao wanted to retreat with Malanla and leave the battlefield during the chaos.

But after taking a few steps, he was stopped by the branches dancing madly, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

You guys fight your own battles, but now you have even stopped me. How come you, a shorty, want to fight two people at once?

The branches on all sides were just waiting for the rotten wood demon's order to fire a thousand arrows at once, piercing the enemy's heart and chilling him to a pulp.

The masked man and Sun Eevee looked solemn and were ready to defend.

“Crack, crack…boom!”

Just when the atmosphere was tense, there was a sudden sound of two large trees on the side being chopped off, and then they fell to the ground with a loud bang, echoing through the dark night, startling several dark crows, which screamed and flew away.

Then came the sound of footsteps and two people talking.

"Brother, why are the trees here so strange? Just now, a branch wanted to hit me." A rather silly-sounding voice asked.

"It's clearly being controlled by a Grass-type Pokémon," another muffled voice said, "It's probably some of our idiot teammates getting into a fight. If they cause trouble again, we'll take care of them."

Hearing these unabashedly arrogant remarks, the masked man, Silverface, and Nightcat all turned their heads to look over, and the movements of several Pokémon also froze.

A spark first appeared in the darkness, and then a middle-aged man with a cigarette in his mouth walked out of the woods.

He was not wearing a mask, there was a small scar on his forehead, his face was covered with stubble, and there was a hint of vicissitudes in his eyes.

A giant mantis with sharp eyes followed by his side. Its two large claws had a metallic feel in the moonlight, giving people the feeling of a warrior at first glance.

Behind the man was another honest man who was scratching his head. Although he was tall, he didn't look very smart and followed the person in front of him like a follower.

A flying mantis was flying beside him, its thin wings flapping gently, and its sickle-like arms reflecting the light. The two trees and some branches just now were chopped down by it.

"You are... the Mantis brothers?"

Night Cat, who was very familiar with the underground of Zhuqing City, recognized them at once. A fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he shrank closer to Malanla.

These two were famous wanted criminals in the alliance. Their most famous "masterpiece" was that they had teamed up to kill a gym leader in a small town. They then fled to Zhuqing City. They were two outsiders.

In addition, they have committed many murders and robberies, and can be described as full of evil, but they have been safe and sound for so long, and no one knows who is protecting them behind the scenes.

But now that they can come here, Yemao also understands.

"call."

The man with the scar on his forehead, the older brother of the Mantis brothers, glanced around, exhaled a puff of smoke, and slowly said, "Are you all alone? Where's Shadow?"

"Lord Shadow hasn't arrived yet."

Silverface once again emerged from the darkness at the foot of the tree, looking at the Mantis brothers with a slightly fearful expression. His tone was no longer as domineering as before, "Please wait a moment, both of you. We still have a little time before the agreed time."

Naturally, he had heard of the reputation of the Mantis Brothers, and thought that he was not as strong as them. If they really fought, he would lose, or there would be a greater chance of death.

The main thing is that these two brothers always fight together, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. Their moves are fierce. If you want to fight them, you have to be able to fight two at a time.

Mantis's younger brother took a few steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with his older brother. He said with an unhappy look on his face, "This Phantom is so arrogant. Not only is he the captain, but he even told us brothers to wait. Let's teach him a lesson later."
