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

Mantis brother took the last puff of his cigarette, removed the butt, threw it on the ground and stomped it out, then chatted with his brother, "I've heard of this Phantom. It was active mainly before we brothers arrived, and it hasn't appeared in months."

"I guess he was seriously injured in a mission and his strength has declined."

Mantis's younger brother chuckled and said, "If Shadow doesn't show enough strength later, I will kill him and let you, brother, be the captain, hehe..."

Silver Face and the others listened to the Mantis brothers talking to each other, not taking Shadow seriously and not expressing any opinions, as if they were three wooden men.

The Shadow and Mantis brothers are both rated at gym leader level in terms of combat power. Even though the latter may not have a gym leader-level Pokémon, the brothers can still unleash such power when combined, and no one dares to underestimate them.

"Oh, don't do that. For the sake of the Nishikawa family's reputation, we..."

Brother Mantis waved his hand indifferently. Just as he was about to reject his brother's kindness, he suddenly felt a chill behind him. He paused and his body immediately stiffened, not daring to move.

At some point, a person appeared behind him and his brother!

The man was wearing a black robe and his face was also wrapped in black cloth. His features were so tightly covered that nothing could be seen clearly, and he exuded a sense of mystery.

Mantis and Scyther were not as slow as their trainer. They reacted first and launched an attack when the black-robed man emerged from the shadow.

Bullet punch + continuous slash, giant pincers and sickle attack from both sides, attacking the man in black robe at the same time. The coldness that Brother Mantis felt was the wind brought by the swinging of the pincers.

Unfortunately, their attacks missed.

Two pitch-black arms silently stretched out from the shadows below the black-robed man and grabbed their pincers. The powerful ghost energy wrapped in them even wiped out the skills they were using.

The man in black robe was not idle either. He grabbed the necks of Mantis brother and brother with his left and right hands from behind. A little force made them unable to breathe and their faces turned red.

"I heard...you want to kill me?"

The man in black robe, Feng, dragged Mantis brother to him like a chicken, leaned close to his ear and asked, his tone cold, like a gust of bitter cold wind.

No matter how stupid Mantis brother was, he realized that something was wrong. Cold sweat slid down the back of his head and into his back. His face, which had been arrogant just now, was already covered with sweat.

“I…I…spare me!”

His mouth was slightly open, his tongue almost sticking out, his eyes rolled up, and his hands were tightly grasping the fingers of the man in black robe that were pinching his neck, but he couldn't move them at all.

Seeing the trainer's appearance, Mantis and Scyther glared at Feng, but did not dare to attack. They were afraid that something might happen to the trainer, and also because they could not defeat the Pokémon in Feng's shadow.

The Pokémon in the Poké Balls on the Mantis brothers' waists also didn't dare to come out easily.

Seeing that the two were about to die, Feng finally let go and threw them to the ground in front of him like trash, saying with disdain: "You piece of shit, these are the Mantis brothers that are worth noting as mentioned in the information..."

After all, it will still be useful in the future, so it would be a pity to kill it like this. Besides, the Shield Sword Monster and the Moon Bear are both gym owner-level now, and such a small character can't cause any trouble at all.

"cough……"

The Mantis brothers lay on the ground coughing and gasping for breath as if they had survived a disaster, and then they were helped up by their Pokémon.

"You two go stand over there."

Feng pointed to the side and gave the order.

The two brothers were filled with anger, but they could only hold it back, not daring to show it in front of Feng, so they had to move their feet obediently.

After saying that, Feng looked at the other people who were standing there in a daze one by one.

"Lord Shadow!"

Seeing Feng looking over, Yinmian bowed his head and said respectfully, "I am Killer Yinmian."

As a member of the killer circle in Zhuqing City, Yinmian had naturally heard of Youying's name and admired his strength and assassination methods.

"Lord Shadow, you can call me Earl."

The masked man bowed to Feng in a very graceful manner, and it seemed that he might be of noble birth.

This person didn't say what he did, and there was no detailed description in the information. His background was very mysterious. Could he be a young master from a big family who came here to gain experience?

Nightcat also took a few steps forward and nodded to Feng: "Master Shadow, I am the Pokémon Hunter Nightcat."

"Ah."

Feng's gaze stayed on Ma'la for a moment, then moved away.

This Ma'ala has a hidden characteristic of stealing, no wonder it doesn't look like a leader of the tribe, but more like a thief.

"Ahem, sir, we... are the Mantis brothers."

Finally, Mantis Brother covered his neck, which was slightly red and swollen from being pinched, and said humbly, "We were wrong to offend you just now. These evolution stones are our apology. Please forgive our mistakes."

He took a few steps forward respectfully, put down several evolution stones worth nearly a million, and quickly retreated back to his original place.

It seems that these mantis brothers are not completely stupid because they can survive until now. They don't mind bowing down to the strong who can dominate their destiny, but they treat the weak as grass and kill them at will.

After they all finished introducing themselves, Feng raised his head and looked above them, saying calmly, "Why aren't you coming out yet? Five team members are here, but you're the only one missing."

"what?"

The expressions of the others changed, and they all looked upwards.

Suddenly, in the pitch-black sky, a red light flashed, and a huge Pokémon emerged from its invisibility, giving everyone a heavy and depressing feeling. It was... a Night Devil.

A young girl sat on its huge palm, looking down at the people below with an expressionless and cold face.

The girl had thick hair with two ponytails on both sides. She had a childish face and looked young. She was wearing a strange silver-gray outfit with a "G" symbol tattooed on her chest.

The Night Demon slowly descended, and the girl uttered a few words coldly: "Team Galaxy, Lily."

Lily?

Feng muttered to himself.

There doesn't seem to be such a character in the anime, but her Night Demon's stealth ability is really strong. If Feng didn't have the attribute panel, he would almost have ignored it.

All six players have gathered, and at least on the surface, they have no intention of opposing the striker.

Now, it's Feng's turn to perform.

"Everyone, I am Youying. You must have heard of my name and know my past."

Feng glanced at the six people present, each with their own thoughts, and slowly said, "As the captain of this mission, I won't say anything extra. You all came here for the reward from the Xichuan family."

"Me too, so I don't want any uncertainties in the team that could affect the mission's success rate. If there are any... I don't mind eliminating them immediately."
