Forcibly suppressing the urge to look away, he casually tossed a chocolate from the shelf into the shopping cart and turned to remind Ibu.

"Pretend nothing happened and keep shopping!"

"Boy!"

[Minor issue!]

Then Lin Xuan pushed the cart to continue forward, but soon seemed to remember something and looked back at Ibu again, asking in a low voice.

"Are you sure you can win?!"

"Buyi~"

No problem!

Ibrahimovic confidently gave Lin Xuan an OK sign, indicating that he could easily deal with those minor fodder characters.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Okay~"

Lin Xuan led the little ones into a deserted alley, and at the same time asked Eevee, which was floating not far from her shoulder.

"Are you still following us?"

"Boy!"

Ibu nodded, no longer needing to hide anything, and pointed directly to a corner.

"Okay, that's settled then. Gallade, take care of them!"

After identifying the target, Lin Xuan did not hesitate at all and immediately released Gallade. As if they had communicated in advance, Gallade used Teleport to arrive at the corner that Eevee had pointed out.

Meanwhile, someone was hiding there, staring wide-eyed at Gallade that suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a Poké Ball in his hand. Upon seeing Gallade, he pressed the switch on the Poké Ball without any hesitation.

The moment he pressed the switch, a huge elf immediately stood in front of him.

"The Salt Stone Giant!?"

Lin Xuan was taken aback at first, then blurted out, "This kind of Pokémon is not common in China! Is it like before?"

That can't be right! Didn't the doctor say it was over? Things have been calm for so long, it's unlikely to come back again, right?

The Salt Stone Giant appeared and blocked the man's path, so Lin Xuan didn't see the man's face immediately. But that didn't matter. He could confirm it after dealing with the Salt Stone Giant.

Damn it, how did they find out?

The man gritted his teeth. He thought he had concealed his presence very well, and the two Pokémon following this guy were just ordinary Eevee and Eevee. How did they find him?

It was Eevee's actions that made him realize he had been discovered, and he quickly took out a Poké Ball thanks to his powerful reflexes. Otherwise, facing Gallade, which can teleport, he might not have even had a chance to take out a Poké Ball.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to resolve this quietly. The commotion from the battle between the elves can't be small, so we must end the fight as soon as possible, or things will get complicated when the guards arrive.

However... this guy must have discovered me, so why did he choose such a place?

The man had been observing his surroundings since the beginning. There was an abandoned building not far away, and hardly anyone would pass by it normally. Knowing that someone was following him, he still walked here. Was he very confident?

But that's normal. He's probably just a kid who's gained a little skill and thinks he's something special. I'll just...

boom!

The giant salt stone that was blocking the man's way was cleaved into the ground by Gallade's sword. Gallade raised its arms to block the ground, but even so, it could only barely hold on.

"what?"

The man couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what was happening. He knew his Salt Stone Giant Spirit's strength very well, so how could it have been cut down with a single sword strike?

"Elu."

It's a bit hard.

Gallade offered its unvarnished assessment of the Salt Rock Giant, but the Salt Rock Giant was a Pokémon known for its durability, and it seemed to be a three-star Pokémon, so it was normal for it to withstand one of its attacks, but...

You might not be able to withstand the next sword strike!

Gallade raised its other arm, its blade unfolding, and swung it downwards again with unparalleled power—the Holy Sword!

Gallade's two Holy Swords left two deep sword marks on the Salt Giant's body. Then, without any suspense, she punched it down and buried the Salt Giant in the ground. The man who had been hiding behind the Salt Giant could only crawl backward in fear.

What the hell is this monster?

This is a Saltstone Giant! Even among all Pokémon, the Saltstone Giant is known for its durability! How could it be defeated so easily?

Barely suppressing his fear, the man turned his gaze to the side, trying to reassure himself.

Luckily, he had a backup plan. What does it matter how strong a Pokémon is? As long as the trainer…

"Um, are you looking for this guy?"

Seeing that the person's gaze turned towards him, Lin Xuan knew what he was looking for, so he pointed to the cloaked dragon that had been knocked to the ground at some point.

This guy is very cunning. He had already sent a Kecleon to lie in wait to ambush him at any time, but how could such a trick possibly fool Eevee?

Moreover, although this Kecleon's stealth skills were excellent, its combat strength was really average. After Eevee discovered its presence, it didn't even need her to take action herself; Xiaoxi and Xiaomi simply quietly came up behind it and gave it... well, it should be two hits.

Ambush a trainer? Sorry, Lin Xuan already did that a long time ago.

"How, how is it possible?"

The man could hardly believe what he was seeing. Although his cloaked dragon was weak, it had a specific training method. As long as it transformed and hid, it would be difficult for any three-star Pokémon with strong perception to find its whereabouts.

"It's you?"

Lin Xuan finally saw the face of the person who attacked him, which was why he was stunned, because he recognized the person.

Chapter 303 Secret Realm?

"It's you?"

Lin Xuan was only stunned for a moment before recognizing the person in front of her as the one she had met on the fifth floor of the research institute, next to the doctor's room.

"Why did they attack me? Forget it, I'll just go back and ask the doctor about that!"

The man was interrupted before he could answer Lin Xuan's question, looking frustrated. Couldn't you at least give me a chance to argue?

Lin Xuan recalled the scene when she met this person at the research institute at noon. She didn't realize it at the time, but now she understood a little. This person was probably not doing anything good in that room.

However, this person showed no signs of panic upon seeing him, and even greeted him calmly, so Lin Xuan did not notice anything suspicious.

Looking back now, I realize that something was a little off. But did this guy never lock the door when he did something bad?

Lin Xuan had spent quite a bit of time at Dr. Sun Siming's research institute and had roughly guessed that the room he had been in was likely where the institute's data was stored. If this guy had gone in without permission, then what he was doing was quite obvious.

Lin Xuan approached the man, wanting to see if he had anything on him to verify her previous guess, when she heard Ibu whisper something in her ear again.

"Boy!"

It looks like someone else is coming over there!

Ibrahimovic pointed to a spot not far away where he had sensed movement.

"You have an accomplice?"

Lin Xuan asked the man.

"Accomplices?" The man blinked. He had accomplices? Yes, but they would never appear at this time!

However, he did hold onto a sliver of hope: what if they really were one of their own?

However, this hope was destined to be dashed soon.

"Senior Brother Lin Xuan?"

The newcomer was about the same age as Lin Xuan. When Lin Xuan saw him, he was being carried on the shoulder of a Throwing Monkey, which looked rather comical. But there was nothing that could be done about it, since most Fighting-type Pokémon are not very good at carrying people. The few that can be ridden are probably Tauros from the Padia region.

"Sigh~"

Lin Xuan blinked at the person, feeling that he looked familiar. At the same time, she immediately judged from the person's address that he was from Jinhui Martial Arts Academy.

Because Lin Xuan is considered a formal disciple, even though he joined the sect relatively late, he is considered a senior brother to ordinary apprentices. However, there is one slightly awkward thing - he can't remember his name!

The Jin Hui Gym was established in Jin Hui City a long time ago and has always served as a guardian deity. Recently, this role has been downplayed, but some students are still assigned to patrol areas where wild Pokémon might appear to prevent incidents of injury. The other party is probably the student on duty today.

"My name is Yuan Teng. I am one of the apprentices on patrol today. I just happened to be walking around here when I heard the commotion, so I came here."

Yuan Teng also sensed a slight awkwardness between him and Lin Xuan, and quickly explained.

"Ahem! Junior Brother Yuan Teng, I recognized him a long time ago!" Lin Xuan said, forcing himself to speak, which made even the floating Eevee roll its eyes at him.

Lin Xuan probably doesn't even recognize all the formal disciples, right?

"Mmm-hmm!" Yuan Teng nodded repeatedly, not exposing Lin Xuan's lie, and continued to ask, "So, Senior Brother Lin Xuan, what's going on?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just a small problem, it's been resolved," Lin Xuan said casually, waving her hand.

Yuan Teng glanced around, looking at the Salt Stone Giant that was half buried in the ground, and the man who was too scared to stand up because of Gallade.

This scene doesn't look like a trivial matter at first glance, does it?

Even when Yuan Teng turned his gaze again, he saw Xiao Xi and Xiaomi grabbing the cloaked dragon by the ears and tossing it around – typical little devils!

"Are you from Jinhui Taekwondo Academy?"

The man looked at Lin Xuan with some surprise and exclaimed, but something was wrong. He had seen the faces of most of the strong disciples of Jinhui Martial Arts Academy, and this boy was not among them.

"Brother, you didn't even dare to check the identity of your target before launching the attack. Isn't that a bit unprofessional? And you can't even recognize a big celebrity like me?"
