My Pokémon Story of Seasons

Chapter 147 Mysterious Hidden Man

The two chiefs responded in unison, then turned and left the command room to carry out their respective tasks.

Nearby, four Pokémon nestled together on a padded sofa slowly woke up.

"Miao Ming—" The Ampharos yawned widely, stretched, and its huge tail accidentally swept against the Riolu next to it.

"Ooh!" Riolu was woken up, rubbed its eyes groggily, and when it saw that it was Ampharos, it wasn't angry, it just nudged it with its little paws.

"Wow?" The two Celebi floated up, blinking curiously as they looked around.

Tong Hua and the other Pokémon stepped forward and handed the four of them a packed breakfast.

Good morning! Come and have breakfast.

"I borrowed the kitchen to make this for you." Tong Hua handed them the warm food.

"Miao Ming!" "La Hua!"

The electric dragon and the two Celebi's eyes lit up, and they happily took the food and began to eat it heartily.

Only Riolu accepted the breakfast somewhat blankly. He first sniffed it curiously, then looked at his companions wolfing it down, a slightly confused expression on his face.

"Mmm?"

"Is it really that delicious?"

In their original world, Riolu was quite confident in his cooking skills as the logistics support and cook for the research team, and he was used to the happy expressions on everyone's faces when they ate the food he made.

Seeing his companions praising the food he made in another world, he couldn't help but feel a little curious and a subtle competitive spirit.

"Ooh."

Riolu held the chopsticks and carefully took a bite...

"Although I'm very unwilling, it really tastes good."

That's so true to me.

Seven and He Fu left the Ranger Alliance headquarters, while Tong Hua and his group followed Professor Xin Yuan to the laboratory.

The remains of the mysterious device recovered from Harbor Town, along with parts recovered earlier from near the popular beach, were all disassembled and reverse-engineered here.

Reverse engineering refers to the process of deducing how something is made from a finished product and studying its function and principles.

"professor!"

Upon seeing Professor Shinhara arrive in person, several assistants in the research room quickly came forward to greet him.

"How's the progress?"

"After a careful examination as you instructed, we indeed found unusual mineral fragments!"

The researcher excitedly pulled the professor to a sophisticated instrument, where a magnified image of the mineral structure was displayed on the screen.

"Just as you said, Professor, these crystal fragments are the core of the device."

Once an electric current is applied, these crystals can emit special electromagnetic waves in all directions.

It has now been determined that these radio waves are the culprit behind the Pokémon's madness.

"Hmm—" Professor Shinhara looked at the experimental data and nodded silently.

"Now we have the first piece of evidence. It seems that what you said, Tong Hua, is probably pretty much true."

The rest depends on the patrolmen's reports. Angel Company, the mine, and the location of the three crystals you mentioned.

"Ming!"

Riolu tugged at Professor Shinhara's sleeve, as if reminding him that he had forgotten something.

"Oh right, there was also a forest lizard that traveled through time."

In short, let's go back to the command center now and continue monitoring the spatiotemporal fluctuations in each region.

After saying that, Professor Shinhara turned and left without stopping, with Tong Hua and the Pokémon following behind him.

It seems that this top brain of the patrol team is even more diligent in his work than the grassroots patrolmen.

"Are all the patrolmen in the alliance just scramblers?" Tong Hua thought to herself, and quickened her pace to catch up.

Two hours later, Seven and Hefu sent messages at the same time.

On one side is a mine near the line drawing plateau, and on the other side is also not far from the line drawing plateau.

The two went to places that were exactly one in the east and one in the west, and the distance between them was almost the same.

"Professor! Many black crystals have indeed been found in the mine."

Furthermore, there was a group of people mining, but they fled after I discovered them.

Judging from their attire, they must be from the Dark Guard.

After He Fu finished speaking, she sent over several photos. After Tong Hua and Professor Xin Yuan looked at them, they both confirmed that the information was true.

"I've also made some discoveries here," Seven continued.

"That researcher named Yi Zhi did indeed join Angel Company. I found out by asking a few ladies working at the front desk in Angel Park."

However, he has been elusive for the past few months, and few people have seen him in public since he joined the company.

"It seems quite obvious now." Professor Shinhara looked at the information transmitted from both sides with a solemn expression, his fingers unconsciously tapping the control panel.

"Angel Corporation is the mastermind behind the Dark Team. That Yi Zhi must be under their control."

Professor Shinhara looked at Tong Hua and asked.

"By the way, Tong Hua, you said last night that the Dark Team only has two strongholds."

One is the Angel Company building, and the other is a cruise ship at sea?

"Yes." Tong Hua nodded.

"It should be anchored at the offshore oil field near the Sea of ​​Wailords, which is also owned by Angel Corporation."

Yi Zhi must be working at Angel Company right now.

"As long as we infiltrate, we can find the decisive evidence!" Tong Hua said confidently. Professor Xin Yuan pondered for a moment and shook his head: "That's true, but if we want to infiltrate the Angel Building secretly without alerting them, there is only one chief patrol officer in the entire alliance who can do this task."

As it happens, that person is currently on a mission in another region—

Upon hearing this, Seven and He Fu on the other end of the communication immediately thought of the person the professor had mentioned and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, only she could have done it."

"What a pity, we don't even know where she is now."

Silence suddenly fell over the command room. The Pokémon that had been chattering and playing with the projector nearby also quieted down and looked at Tong Hua and Professor Xin Yuan with puzzlement.

"Professor, let me go." After a moment, Tong Hua suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention.

Professor Shinhara was taken aback, looking at him strangely: "You're going? That's too dangerous! That's the base of an evil organization; Angel Corporation is bound to be a den of dragons and tigers. You..."

"Please rest assured, I am confident." Tong Hua's eyes were unusually firm.

"I have some special methods that allow me to bypass most surveillance and guards."

He glanced suggestively at the backpack on the shoulder of the electric dragon beside him, which contained his packed personal belongings.

"Miao Ming." Dianlong immediately understood and handed the backpack to Tong Hua.

Tong Hua took out a maple wood handsaw. The moment he gripped the saw, his profession instantly transformed into that of a gardener.

Passive skill, Stealth, activated!

Professor Nihara: "?"

Not only Professor Shinhara, but all the Pokémon present were puzzled.

They could clearly see Tong Hua, but for some reason they always wanted to ignore him.

It was as if, in their eyes, the person standing there was not Tong Hua, but a small, unnoticed stone that could be seen anywhere.

Tong Hua appeared calm at this moment. Just as he had tested before, he had almost figured out the effect of this skill.

Simply put, just like hypnosis, once the skill takes effect, it will cause any creature that enters a certain range around you to subconsciously ignore your presence.

However, it is ineffective when actively launching an attack or when it goes beyond the designated range. Therefore, its drawbacks are also quite obvious.

"If it's an infrared or sensor-based mechanism, it will still be detected."

However, if you only look at it with the naked eye, there is no problem.

Tong Hua's words reached Professor Xin Yuan and everyone else present, but they still couldn't notice Tong Hua, even though he was standing right in front of them.

A mysterious, stealthy man makes his grand entrance!

Professor Shinhara blinked hard and rubbed his temples. He even wondered if he was hallucinating from staying up too late. Tong Hua was clearly standing there, holding a rather incongruous maple handsaw, but his brain kept sending signals: "There's nothing special there, don't worry about it."

This feeling was extremely strange, as if a cognitive filter had been placed over my eyes.

Seven and He Fu on the other end of the communication also fell silent. They had obviously felt this indescribable cognitive interference through the video. Tong Hua put down the handsaw, and the feeling of being deliberately ignored instantly disappeared from everyone's mind. He "existed" in everyone's cognition again.

"What... what kind of ability is this?"

Professor Shinhara finally regained his voice, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"It's just like the legendary Zoroark's phantom, yet completely different! Is this some kind of Pokémon ability? Or..."

Tong Hua remained silent, only smiling.

"Alright, I understand." After a moment, Professor Shinhara calmed down.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Tong Hua."

"Yes, mission accomplished!"
