My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 142 The Dark Team Attacks

"What on earth happened?!"

"Everyone, take immediate action! Ensure public safety!"

The Harbor Town Rangers patrolling around the plaza immediately responded to the call, and while evacuating and protecting the crowd, they tried to use the Hunting Cauldron to control the rampaging Pokémon.

Unfortunately, just like the malfunctioning Poké Ball, the hunting dart, which was usually able to quickly convey thoughts to Pokémon, was now completely useless.

No matter how many times I use the Hunting Disc to circle around the Pokémon, I can't feel any emotional connection with them. The capture progress bar seems to be frozen, stuck at zero percent!

"How could that be!"

"Captain, what should we do?!"

The rangers found themselves in an unprecedented predicament. Their hunting buoys, the very tools they relied on to maintain their bond with their Pokémon, had completely malfunctioned, leaving them, who were used to solving problems through communication, somewhat at a loss.

"Calm down!" Although the captain of the Harbor Town base was equally shocked, he still tried his best to remain calm.

"If the hunting sniper fails, then let's use the most primitive method!"

Team up in pairs: one team is responsible for using protective nets and obstacles to restrict the runaway Pokémon's movements, while the other team prioritizes evacuating and protecting the public!

Hurry up!

The well-trained rangers received the instructions and immediately changed their strategy.

They took out spare protective netting and used benches and stalls in the square as cover to painstakingly restrain the rampaging Pokémon, while trying their best to guide the panicked crowd to safety.

However, with so many out-of-control Pokémon, the rangers' actions became extremely difficult. They could only barely maintain order and prevent more serious stampedes, but they could not fundamentally solve the problem.

"Captain! This can't go on!" a patrolman shouted anxiously. "Request backup!"

"You don't even need to tell me! We already had our staff apply to headquarters, but we can't get in touch with them!"

Anyway, for now, let's use the tranquilizer gun!

"yes!"

The patrolmen adjusted their strategy again, and by the time the crowd in the square had been mostly dispersed.

Pokémon were going berserk all over town, so people had to take refuge in buildings to temporarily isolate the Pokémon outdoors.

Tong Hua led everyone back to the hotel, where two Celebi were secretly protecting them. So far, none of the Pokémon have shown any unusual reactions.

"This is probably the work of the Dark Team, isn't it?" Tong Hua stood by the window, looking at the scene outside and couldn't help but recall the plot of the game.

"Team Dark is trying to control Pokémon using Dark Crystals and remote control devices. Damn it, I can't stay silent any longer!"

We must inform the Rangers' Alliance about this as soon as possible!

Thinking of the Arcanine trainer from earlier, Tong Hua felt a pang of guilt.

He knew what was going to happen and believed the rangers would handle everything, but he forgot that this was reality, not a game!

When villains do bad things, it's impossible for the masses not to be affected, and it's impossible for no one to be harmed!

"I just wanted to live my own life, but I forgot that my daily life is also based on peace. I knew the plot all along, so I should have nipped all those bad things in the bud!"

At this moment, Tong Hua had no means of communication and was unable to convey information about the Dark Team to the Patrol Alliance.

However, Tong Hua already has an idea on how to resolve this matter.

"You stay here!"

"I need to go outside. The cause of the chaos is a mysterious device. Once I destroy it, the controlled Pokémon will return to normal!"

"La-hua!" The two Celebi grabbed Tong Hua's clothes at the same time, their emerald green eyes filled with worry.

"Meow!" The pickpocket cat also grabbed Tong Hua's trouser leg. Even if they were to go, they should all go together!

"Ah-ma!" Tian Wuni stood next to Tong Hua, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Tong Hua firmly.

"Trembling!" "Chirp chirp!" "Mwah!"

"Fou!" "Poyoyo!"

"You guys—." Looking at the determined eyes of the Pokémon, Tong Hua felt a warm current surge into her heart.

He doesn't consider himself a trainer, nor does he possess their immense power. But as long as he's with his Pokémon, he has the courage to face any challenge.

"Alright, let's work together to save Harbor Town!"

"oh!"

Meanwhile, the situation in the square was gradually brought under control by the patrolmen.

Under the influence of the tranquilizer gun, the frenzied Pokémon gradually fell asleep.

However, there are a large number of Pokémon, but a limited number of bullets.

Even worse, some of the rangers' partner Pokémon have started to go berserk out of control.

"Captain, still can't contact headquarters?"

"A message has already been sent to Fengrao Town using signal flares. All electronic communications have been cut off. This must be an organized and premeditated operation."

The captain frowned, slamming his fist against the wall beside him. "Damn it! Who did this?!"

Just then, a young ranger suddenly pointed southeast and exclaimed, "Captain! Look over at the lighthouse!"

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of strangely dressed men on the lighthouse, staring at the riots in the square and town.

"Hooray! A great success!"

The leader, Mr. Jingka, affectedly tossed his upturned bangs, his face covered with heavy concealer foundation to hide the wrinkles of a middle-aged man.

"Hooray! How utterly fragile that ridiculous bond between Pokémon and humans is in the face of darkness!"

His voice, amplified by some kind of loudspeaker, came through in a repulsive tone: "This is the debut of our Dark Team!"

The patrolmen in the square instantly understood, and anger burned in their eyes.

"You guys did this?!" the captain shouted, raising the tranquilizer gun in his hand and aiming it at the mirror card on the lighthouse.

The trigger was pulled instantly, and the anesthetic needle shot out towards Jingka's repulsive face!

"Hmph!"

To everyone's surprise, Jingka didn't even try to dodge; his eyes were fixed on the tranquilizer dart flying towards him.

It was only when it got close that a Starbird blocked its path with its body!

"Oh ho ho ho!"

"With the power to control Pokémon, our Team Dark is now invincible!"

Jingka laughed triumphantly, and the Mook bird instantly fell asleep and landed in front of him, like a lifeless shield.

"Pfft!" The captain glared fiercely at Mirror Card and Dark Team, suddenly noticing that they seemed to pay extra attention to the red device next to them.

"Could that be what caused it?"

Just as the captain was about to call a team to go with him to control the lighthouse, the Dark Team on the lighthouse suddenly fell into an "internal conflict".

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly, one of the henchmen rushed to the red device, grabbed the iron bar in his hand, and smashed it down hard!

"No, he's not one of our brothers!"

"Damn it!" Mr. Mirror realized what was happening, but by then the device on the lighthouse had been destroyed! The Pokémon below were all brought to a standstill.

The situation reversed in an instant!

"Who exactly are you?"

The man didn't reply; he simply flung the broken steel pipe in his hand toward Jingka!

"Ding!" The steel rod was blocked by a Zubat that flew from the side. This Zubat was not controlled by the device, but belonged to one of the minions around.

"Tch!" Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, the man then gave a friendly gesture to Mirror Card and the surrounding Dark Team members.

The next second, he leaped up and jumped off the lighthouse!

"Uh! Uh!"

He caught a noisy bird that happened to be flying by in mid-air, and using the force of his fall and the bird's flapping wings, he glided precariously for a while before finally landing with a not-so-perfect but sufficiently cushioned roll, successfully escaping the pursuit of the Dark Team.

He stood up briskly, dusted himself off, and ripped off the cumbersome Dark Team uniform.

"I hate guys like you who cause trouble the most!"

News like yours that can't entertain the public, get out of Almia!

As he fled, he didn't forget to taunt the Dark Team.

When he infiltrated the area, he also left them a big surprise—
