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

The next evening, we were at the broken tree in the woods again.

Tonight's moon is hiding behind thick clouds, revealing only a hazy outline. Its light is weakened by the clouds and can only barely shine on the earth.

The air was filled with the unique coolness of the night, mixed with the smell of soil and plants, making everyone in the forest feel slightly cold, and they would unconsciously perk up and become alert.

Under the dim moonlight, six figures of different sizes gathered together, keeping a safe distance from each other, and seemed not to trust each other very much.

"The captain has only been looking for us for a few days. It seems like there is a mission to be done."

Brother Mantis had a cigarette in his mouth and was leaning against a big tree.

Mantis stood in front of him like a warrior, its eyes alertly watching its surroundings. It felt very guilty about the last time its trainer was easily defeated by someone else.

"Hehe, I'll get some money after I'm done, so I should go and have some fun."

Brother Mantis was fantasizing about something with his eyes and smiling foolishly.

Although the two brothers had a hidden residence provided by the Nishikawa family, they still had to rely on completing missions to earn a large amount of Alliance Coins. It could be said that one job was enough to fill ten days' work, and without missions, there was no money to be earned.

"Humph, this is a special period. Don't run around and cause trouble for the captain. Just stay in hiding after completing your mission."

At this moment, a cold voice came from the shadow of the tree, like a stream of cold water splashing over Mantis Brother.

Brother Mantis turned his head to see who was so bold, but he saw a white-faced dwarf with a gloomy expression, and a dancing tree behind him that seemed to be haunted.

What was different from last time was that Silverface's tone was completely different from his previous humble attitude towards the Mantis brothers. Instead, he seemed arrogant and superior.

Ever since Yinmian was "brainwashed" by Feng, although he was depressed for a few days because of the loss of freedom, he couldn't even think of doing anything bad to Feng.

But he also understood that he had a strong supporter, and since he couldn't resist, he would just enjoy the power that was second only to the other person in the team.

Therefore, with his character of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, he is not afraid of the Mantis brothers at all. He knows that Feng will never let him die like this.

Hearing Silverface's lecture that was not in line with his "status", Mantis brother was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and slapped the tree trunk angrily and said: "Hey, Silverface, are you itching for trouble? How dare you talk to us like that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying mantis on the tree arched its body, and its two sickle-like blades reflected a sharp light, waiting for the order from its brother mantis, ready to attack and kill at any time.

Night Cat, who was standing aside, looked at Silver Face strangely, with an interested look under the mask. This dwarf was not like this a few days ago. Why did he change his personality now? Or has his strength improved again?

"Why, you want to fight here? Have you forgotten how you were beaten by the captain last time?"

Silverface raised his chin slightly and said provocatively, "Or are you not afraid of the captain's punishment?"

"you!"

Mantis brother was speechless for a moment, his expression twisted, angry and scared. He was too tongue-tied to utter a complete sentence, "You..."

Fortunately, his brother stepped forward in time, exhaled a puff of cigarette and said, "Don't use the captain's title to talk nonsense. Even if I teach you a lesson here, the captain won't care."

However, even though Brother Mantis said this, he had no intention of taking action.

After what happened last time, who knows if Captain Shadow will be hiding in the shadows and eavesdropping again?

He didn't want to be strangled again. The painful and suffocating feeling was worse than death.

Seeing that no fight had broken out, Night Cat stepped in to smooth things over: "The Alliance has been very strict lately. They've arrested quite a few Pokémon hunters and wanted criminals in the past few days. It's normal for everyone to be a little angry."

The Earl sat on a tree branch, gently stroking the Sol Eevee. His eyes under the mask scanned between the people. He didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.

Lily was still sitting on the hand of the Night Demon like last time, floating in the air, with no light in her eyes. She was indifferent to the conversation of the few people, like a robot.

The time has come to the agreed time written by Shadow, but there is still no sign of him appearing.

The six of them were not in a hurry and continued to wait patiently.

According to their thinking, Shadow was probably observing them in the dark. This elusive captain seemed to like hearing whether others were saying bad things about him behind his back.

……

Time passed minute by minute, but it was not only Feng's teammates who were waiting for him.

A hundred meters away from the six people, a team of fully armed Alliance investigators were hiding in the woods. The high-tech equipment on their bodies concealed their body temperature and smell, making them seem to blend into the night and the woods.

"squeak"

A wild Rattata trotted across the back of an investigator, but didn't notice anything. It stayed for a moment and then left.

The investigator seemed to feel nothing, without any movement or even a tremor, as if he were a statue. Even if a passerby passed by, they would not notice anything unusual.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a suppressed sneeze abruptly broke the solemn atmosphere, followed by a slightly delicate female voice: "Hiss, so cold..."

The owner of the voice was a short-haired girl who looked somewhat similar to Miyano and was shivering in the woods.

As the sound was rang out, the investigators around the girl, who had been on edge, suddenly seemed to relax and the atmosphere became strange.

The deputy captain of the search officers beside her was speechless, but he still whispered in her ear, "Captain, please be patient. The only thing missing now is that ghost, and it's already half an hour past the agreed time."

"Oh, that's strange. What should we do now?"

The girl frowned and thought about it, but couldn't come up with any good ideas, so she could only ask back.

"..."

The deputy captain looked at the young and "innocent" girl in front of him, opened his mouth but no words came out, and was speechless for a moment.

A few days ago, in the battle to wipe out the Yamada family, an investigator captain lost his main Pokémon. After returning to the branch, he retreated to the second line, leaving this position vacant.

It just so happened that Commander Miyano's sister Xiaoyu had been in the branch for two years and had a certain amount of "qualifications". On paper, her strength was at the level of a gym leader, so she was allowed to move up.

but……

This girl has never been on field work and all she does in the branch is clerical work.

Her Pokémon battles were all level crushing or regular league matches. She had no idea how to make decisions, so it was always him, the vice-captain, who was in charge.

The deputy captain's stress and blood pressure were at their highest point tonight.
