Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 128 Odd and Charizard
"Feng, do you have well-cooked beef rice today?" An old voice came. Teng Shu turned his head and saw an old man walking into the store. He was very old, with many age spots on his face and silver hair floating around his ears.

Teng Shu recognized the man in front of him. After all, he had seen this old man at the Sending God Volcano before. He was the one who was choosing a cemetery for himself and Charizard.

At this time, a Pokémon walked in from behind the old man. It was the old Charizard.

The opponent's body was very weak, with loose skin covered with numerous scars. When he opened his mouth, Teng Shu could see the missing teeth. This Charizard had no teeth, or its teeth had fallen off. Only the gums could be seen when he opened his mouth.

This made Teng Shu feel a little heavy.

Charizard, a Pokémon with the word "dragon" in its name, can evolve into a dragon-attribute Pokémon through special evolution. Normally, this type of Pokémon has a very long lifespan. It is common for a grandfather's Charizard to take care of his granddaughter. In extreme cases, it can even take care of his great-grandson.

But the Charizard in front of him was very old and looked like it would not live long.

"Of course, Ode, you sit down with Charizard first." Lao Junsha stuck her head out and said, and then the sound of the spatula stirring in the kitchen became faster. The old man named Ode slowly sat down with Charizard. They sat in the corner, as if they didn't want to disturb Teng Shu while he was eating.

A pleasant aroma came from the kitchen, and soon, Lao Junsha brought out Teng Shu's wild mushroom fried rice. Teng Shu went over to take some, and Lao Junsha hurried back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

While eating, Teng Shu took out his phone and searched the name Ode. A lot of irrelevant news popped up, but after Rotom's action, those useless news disappeared instantly, and then a highlighted news was marked out separately.

The news [The Alliance visits retired investigators to convey the truth, kindness and beauty of the world] was shining brightly. Teng Shu clicked on it and saw Ode's face. He looked exactly like the old man behind him. He was a retired Alliance investigator with outstanding achievements.

No further information could be found. We only know that Ode is a retired Alliance investigator.

"Investigators?" Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about something. The investigators in the Pokémon League were different from the Junsha Team. The Junsha Team was responsible for maintaining the internal security of the League, and then striking hard when encountering evil forces. However, the investigators were responsible for maintaining the internal interests of the League, taking the initiative to strike hard to find dark organizations, and fighting those inhumane guys.

The opponents include dark organizations like Sakaki of Team Rocket, those vicious Pokémon poachers, and even some murderers who enjoy killing. Previously, in the Pokémon Unova region, there was a "Green Lake Massacre", where a circle of victims' remains were found around a small lake called Green Lake.

After the murderer was caught, he was directly sentenced to death and then sent to the most torturous prison in the world, Dongshu Island, where he is still imprisoned.

As for why the death row inmate was sentenced to life imprisonment? Of course, it was because in that hellish place, Dongshu Island, living was more terrible than dying, and it was extremely torturous. The cruel madman had been tortured to the point of collapse, and wanted to die, but he couldn't.

It can be said that the profession of search officer is just like Interpol, which is a high-risk profession. Although the salary is relatively high, the fire-breathing dragon next to Odd can show how much risk this profession has. The life span of a fire-breathing dragon is so long, but after various serious injuries, its vitality will also be affected. Moreover, the profession of search officer may have some explosive potions researched by the alliance, which can overdraw vitality in exchange for more powerful moves, but using too much will also kill people.

As the heir of Dewen Company, Teng Shu naturally knew some inside information. This potion of the alliance was only supplied in limited quantities to some employees who performed special tasks. After all, although it would overdraw vitality, overdrawing vitality was far better than dying.

When you die, there is really nothing left.

Lao Junsha also came out with beef rice, placed it in front of Ode, and then placed it next to Charizard. Teng Shu could see clearly that the beef rice was more like beef porridge than beef rice, and the rice was soft and mushy.

Ode picked up the spoon and fed Charizard. The Charizard ate in small bites. It had no teeth, so it could only eat like this. Its body was also very old, and even raising its hands to eat had become a difficult thing for it. A tear rolled down the corner of Charizard's eye.

"Hey, Xiaopeng, don't be embarrassed. You are old now, it is normal for me to take care of you." Od said gently. He raised his hand full of age spots and wiped away the tears from the corners of his partner's eyes, with deep guilt in his eyes.

For himself, for his dream of maintaining peace in the alliance and allowing people to live in peace, Xiaopeng has paid too much, and he owes his partners too much.

Teng Shu lowered his head and ate his meal quietly. He was too old to bear to see these things.

Teng Shu wanted to help Charizard and Odd regarding their issues, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do. Separation from life and death is the most helpless thing in the world, and it is something that everyone has to accept.

Teng Shu felt very depressed when he thought about the parents he had lived with day and night, and how one day they suddenly left forever and he would never see them again.

In the world of Pokémon, death is also inevitable. Or rather, someone once thought about avoiding it, and he succeeded, making his Pokémon achieve immortality, but the price was that the Pokémon left, and that person could only carry the sin and wander on that land forever.

As for the current situation of the Charizard beside Odd, it is too difficult to save it. I'm afraid that Ho-Oh may have to take action himself. Even Ho-Oh may not be able to do it. Only the Y God who is said to control the life force may have to take action.

Thinking of the Phoenix King, Teng Shu couldn't help but touch his chest, where there was a feather hanging, a colorful and shining feather that exuded warmth. It was the Phoenix King's feather.

But for now, Teng Shu didn't find anything special about this feather. It was like a hot pack. Apart from allowing Teng Shu to wear short sleeves late at night, it had no special use.
