Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 130 Riolu's Self-Rescue

With a two-day gap between the end of the Round of 16 and the quarterfinals, Zhu Lan plans to take advantage of this opportunity.

We'll use the Emerald Stone Slab to lure Team Galactic up, then lure them to Lily of the Valley Island to capture them all. The location will be the back mountain area of ​​Lily of the Valley Island, where we'll have the League members and the Interpol police set up an ambush beforehand.

Mingyou will play an important role as the treasure hunter who discovers the emerald green stone tablet. He will use the Alliance's information channels to spread the word about the stone tablet to some trading platforms, attracting people to trade. I believe Team Galactic will definitely not miss this opportunity.

The plan is meticulously crafted, but the opponent should not be underestimated, so it's essential to prepare for the possibility of failure and have contingency plans in place...

Sure enough, the day after the news was released, some strange men and women dressed in black appeared on the streets of Lily of the Valley again, but no one suspected much, just thinking it was a trendy outfit.

"Damn it, they beat me to it... It was so close that day, if you hadn't stolen the glass bottle and then I hadn't gotten beaten up by your buddy, it wouldn't have been this difficult!"

As he spoke, the man kicked Riolu, who was walking ahead. Riolu didn't complain and just walked on silently. After being captured for so many days, it was finally able to set foot on the ground again.

These days, it has been dealing with Team Galactic, because it knows the location of the treasure, and as a bargaining chip, Team Galactic will never do anything to it.

Don't underestimate a stray Pokémon that can move freely in and out of the city, even though it really hates the city... If only we could live without urbanization.

However, it is very worried about its companions in Binhai City, but it is unable to return. Even its arrival on Lily of the Valley Island today was just an accident.

It had been trying to save itself, giving out half-truths and half-false information to make Team Galactic run around looking for an opportunity, but it never expected that the treasure would be obtained by someone else... and that person was even someone it knew very well and someone it really didn't want to run into again.

Logically, it shouldn't have any use anymore, but the fact that it doodled on someone's ID card and wrote "comrade" made Team Galactic mistake Yuu for its companion, which is why they knew the location of the treasure.

It was this series of coincidences that led to its successful use as a tool to lure someone... Invisibly, Mingyou seemed to have given it another helping hand, which made things quite complicated.

but……

"Leo!"

Riolu's well-behaved image is all an act; its true nature is mischievousness, and it hasn't done many good deeds since birth.

Although it is currently looking around for a way to save itself, once it successfully escapes, it will immediately go to find Meiyu and lure Team Galactic over, while it takes advantage of the chaos to steal the Pokémon!

Unfortunately, a remote-controlled explosive device was installed on its neck, with the remote control button in the hand of someone behind it, precisely to prevent it from escaping.

"Leo..."

Riolu lightly touched its collar with its paw, and an alarm immediately beeped. Hearing this, the Team Galactic members behind it shouted in a low voice, "Behave yourself!"

"..."

We must find a way to save ourselves, then obtain the treasure, and return to lead everyone...

The next day arrived quickly, and Team Galaxy easily discovered Naruto's whereabouts.

Although there were no matches these past two days, the stalls near the venue were still open, making it very lively. That's when I discovered that Mingyou was out shopping with her two younger sisters.

However, they did not act immediately. After all, the Lily of the Valley Conference was being held here, and there were quite a few people from the Alliance. No one knew if there would be any traps, so they needed to observe more.

By the evening of the second day, Mingyou was starting to get restless. He could feel strange gazes on him, just like a girl being stared at by middle-aged men on a train.

But these guys are very cautious. They heard that the Galaxy Team's executive Zhenxing is Zhimou Chuzhong, so this is probably the other side's arrangement. But tomorrow is the quarterfinals, and Mingyou has to go watch the game. He doesn't have time to play house with the Galaxy Team.

"Are they coming or not...?"

He grumbled, then went to wash up and go to bed. There was nothing he could do if they didn't come; after all, the goal was to catch them all in one fell swoop, and if he took the initiative, he would only alert them.

After showering and going to bed, the lights were turned off, and the room instantly became quiet. Everyone was resting, whether it was Heyue Bear or Smocha. It seemed that tonight was a special night...

Until midnight, while everyone was still asleep, a figure skillfully used the windowsill and air conditioner unit as stepping stones to reach the fifth floor and successfully jump onto the balcony.

"Leo..."

Riolu was assigned to a separate task. Team Galactic had it steal the treasure, which would save them time and effort. Even if Riolu got caught, they wouldn't lose out; they could simply keep looking for opportunities.

Riolu was filled with resentment but had nowhere to vent it. After discovering that the glass door to the balcony was not locked, it easily walked into the living room.

As soon as it entered, it heard the sound of Snorlax snoring, along with a faint aroma of matcha. It was all too familiar with it; it was because of this that it almost got caught in the sewers last time.

"Leo..."

Seeing them sleeping so comfortably, while I was risking my life...

Perhaps this is retribution?

Instead of disturbing them, it went straight to Mingyou's room. It still had a little conscience after all and didn't feel psychologically unbalanced, so it didn't plan to drag everyone down with it.

Riolu slowly pushed open the door to the room. After confirming that everyone was asleep, it dared to use its waveguide to grasp the flowing energy and successfully locate the emerald slab. Then it walked over to it.

"Leo..."

It reached out and took out the emerald green stone slab. Looking at this treasure full of life, Riolu stood there for a while before turning around to leave.

Unbeknownst to her, Latias, who was invisible, had been resting nearby in the dimly lit room. If a Riolu could discover her using Aura, she wouldn't need to stay here any longer.

Furthermore, there's the Smoothie in the living room. The scent of matcha powder has already clung to Riolu, making it so subtle that only he can rely on his senses to find his way back to the past.

"Did they take the bait after all?"

Mingyou, who had been sleeping, suddenly sat up and smiled. After revealing so many flaws, he had finally caught him. However, he was stunned when he learned that it was Riolu who had come to steal the things.

How could it be Riolu?

Did they follow the scent and come here?

After all, he thought it was normal for the other party to steal whatever they wanted, but now things were a bit troublesome. He had dug a pit for Team Galactic to fall into, not for Riolu.

"Damn it, chase after them!"

Mingyou's expression changed. She quickly dressed and set off. She hadn't expected this unexpected turn of events. Why didn't they stop her?

"Waaah..."

Latias had no idea that although it recognized Riolu, Riolu might also be a Team Galactic? Coming here to steal things? No way!

"..."

Mingyou didn't want to pursue these matters any further; saying more wouldn't change anything. Riolu hadn't gone far yet, so they needed to get the stone tablet back first. They couldn't let the other side run into Team Galactic, who were roaming around the area.

Under the cover of night, a chase was unfolding, and Team Galactic, located somewhere on Suzuran Island, immediately sprang into action, preparing for support and battle!
