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

Feng secretly followed the dean for nearly half an hour and came to a remote alley. The dean looked around and then knocked on the door of a house.

The door opened a crack, and a pair of eyes looked the dean up and down through the crack. After confirming that everything was correct, the door slowly opened, and a gloomy middle-aged man appeared at the door.

"Come in." The middle-aged man glanced at Fanshao Snake, turned and walked into the house.

The dean followed him into the room and closed the door.

Feng felt that this middle-aged man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. It would be great if he could go into the house and see what they were going to do.

Although Feng could transform into a shadow and slip through the crack in the door, doing so was too risky. If there were any Psychic-type Pokémon with keen senses or a keen sense of smell inside, he would undoubtedly be putting himself in danger. It would be better to stay away from the door, wait and see, and wait for an opportunity.

After a while, a man in a black robe came to the alley with an elite Roentgen cat and knocked on the door. The middle-aged man in the house recognized him and opened the door for him to come in.

Feng took the opportunity to take a look inside. The room was very simple, with several people gathered around a shabby table, discussing something. Their Pokémon had been put away, and it seemed that these people trusted the others in the room.

After that, several more people came, and the Pokémon they brought were no less than elite level, and there were even quasi-elite level Pokémon. The one who brought the quasi-elite level Magneto was actually Professor Yamano, the chief director of the research institute.

"How did he escape? As the head of the Sky Team's experimental facility in Kanaz City, he must be the alliance's primary target." Feng pondered, "Did he break out, or did he use a secret passage like me?"

The latter was more likely than the former. As the head of the organization, Dr. Yamano should have known that there was a secret passage in the building. It was unknown whether the secret passage he took was the same one Feng took. If it was the same one, then Dr. Yamano simply entered the secret passage a little later and followed Feng into the Orange Forest. This speculation sent a chill down Feng's spine.

However, Dr. Yamano probably didn't stay in the Orange Forest for long before returning to Kanaz City, as Feng hadn't encountered him in the forest for several weeks. Unlike Feng, who was at the bottom of society, Dr. Yamano's status in the Sky Team and his long-standing roots in Kanaz City made it easy for him to evade the Alliance's search.

Feng suddenly remembered why the middle-aged man who opened the door looked familiar. Wasn't that man the wanted criminal reported by the Alliance, Sky Team cadre Hei Yu? When Feng was in the Alliance store, the TV screen on the wall had broadcast his information, but Feng's attention was mostly on the merchandise at the time.

In this case, does it mean that the house is actually a gathering of the Sky Team. Are they preparing to organize some new action or plan to continue their previous activities after the league's martial law ends?

Feng realized that this matter was completely beyond his ability and it was best not to touch such dangerous things, so he left immediately.

……

Over the next few days, Feng continued to wait at the inn for Dean to leave. However, Dean hadn't made any special moves since that day, going only to shops and restaurants. However, Feng noticed that Dean didn't release his Pokémon when he went out, which gave Feng an opportunity. Feng planned to follow Dean and attack him as soon as he passed a less crowded area.

One day at noon, the director strolled out of the orphanage gate, thinking about which restaurant to go to for dinner. Feng, who was watching him, quietly hid in the shadows and followed behind him.

When the dean passed by an abandoned factory, the shadow that had been following him at a leisurely pace suddenly moved towards him at high speed. Only when the dean entered the attack range did Feng emerge from the shadow with the sword in hand.

At this moment, the dean hadn't even noticed the sudden appearance of a person behind him. As Snake was in the Poké Ball, he didn't notice the shadow approaching until Feng appeared and noticed the change.

I saw the slithering snake jump out of the Poké Ball and attack Feng without hesitation. It raised its tail and a sharp tail blade flashing with purple light slashed towards Feng like lightning (poison attack)!

The double scabbards beside Feng reacted equally quickly, and a green transparent protective shield (hold) unfolded instantly, like an indestructible shield, firmly blocking the sharp attack of the rice spoon snake.

Almost at the same time, Feng also swiftly attacked, slashing at the back of the Dean's neck with his knife. The precise and powerful blow made the Dean groan and then fell to the ground unconscious. Then, Feng took advantage of the gap where Fansnake's attack was blocked and clamped the Dean under his armpit. The movement was clean and smooth, and it was completed in one go.

At this point, the dean's other Pokémon finally reacted and jumped out of their Poké Balls. They were an elite-level Mamoswine and two other high-level Pokémon. Mamoswine, with its slow trait, was noticeably slower than the Snake, resulting in its master being abducted.

Abilities are special abilities that each Pokémon possesses and are part of their nature. Some Abilities not only increase or decrease a Pokémon's combat power but also affect its personality, such as laziness, slowness, or perseverance.

Feng quickly searched the dean's possession for a Poké Ball, collected several Pokémon, and then locked them up. Meanwhile, the slithering snake and the scorpion, fearing they might accidentally injure their master, didn't dare to attack at all, and were taken in with a look of resignation on their faces. After their success, Feng, along with the dean and the double scabbards, disappeared into the shadows.

Although Feng subdued the curator so easily, this action was actually a bit risky.

If the Elite Tusker hadn't reacted so slowly and not immediately emerged from the ball, Feng would have faced a double-sided attack from two Elite Pokémon. Even with his dual scabbards deployed to defend, it would have been impossible to stop the attacks of two Pokémon a level higher. The end result would most likely have been a break in his defense, and Feng would have fled injured.

In this world, defense doesn't ignore level like in games. At most, it can only withstand attacks of one level higher, and it can't be a big move like Destruction Ray or Explosion Flame. The interval between uses is not as long as a turn in the game, but requires a certain amount of time to be used again.

……

Coming to a dark corner, Feng pulled the dean out of the shadows, threw him to the ground, and took off his space bracelet.

Dean only stayed in the shadows for a short while, but when he emerged he looked much more haggard, as if he had been drained of energy. This also surprised Feng. It seemed that sneaking into the shadows was harmful to ordinary humans, as their vitality would be sucked away. He just didn't know why Feng was not affected.

After being slapped twice, the dean gradually regained consciousness and woke up.

"You, who are you?" The dean screamed in surprise. Looking at Feng's young face, he felt that it looked somewhat familiar. Then he subconsciously touched his Poké Ball, but found nothing.

"Keep your voice down. I ask questions and you answer them. Otherwise, you won't be able to walk out alive." Feng said in a low voice.

"You! Can you let me go just because I tell you? Don't treat me like a three-year-old child!" Faced with desperation, the dean could only suppress his fear and force himself to calm down.

"You can only take one gamble, and the bet is your life. And you don't know who I am, so I don't have to kill you, right?" Feng said in a tempting tone.

The dean looked struggling, weighing the options in his mind, but he couldn't think of any better way to save his life.

"What do you want to know?"

Finally, the dean gave up struggling and asked in a low voice.

"First, tell me about Team Sky and the black market."

"How do you know... Never mind. The black market in Kanaz City has always been controlled by Team Sky. Local Alliance officials and several major families in Kanaz City have shares in it. Because I often go to the black market to sell orphans, Team Sky approached me and asked me to sell the children from the orphanage directly to them, offering me a higher price. I couldn't refuse, and there was no reason to refuse, so I continued to cooperate with them."

At this point, the dean sighed and continued, "Who knew that after a few trades, they would actually force me to join the Sky Team. Being a member of the Sky Team actually has many benefits. For example, the Rice Spoon Snake and Ivory Pig, which are qualified as gym leaders, were obtained from the Sky Team. But the price is that you can never leave, and you must be present at every meeting."

"When was the most recent rally, who attended, and what was said?" Feng asked a series of questions.
