Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 142 Solving the Case

That morning, some trainers, organized by the Binhai Municipal Government at their own expense, dressed in volunteer uniforms and began working despite objections from some people.

They pushed a cart full of Poké Balls to the ninth block, intending to capture all the stray Pokémon and then release them into the wild, which would naturally involve some battles.

Anyway, not many people live in this neighborhood, so there's no need to worry about damaging the houses. Once all the stray Pokémon are driven away, this neighborhood will be demolished to make way for an amusement park.

"well……"

Looking at these people, Nurse Joy was quite helpless. They really had no other choice but to watch as these people began to hunt down the stray Pokémon resting by the roadside.

Arcanine and the others were at the Pokémon Center, watching this scene helplessly, as they would soon become one of them.

Riolu wasn't here. Early this morning, Mingyou took it to the police station to turn itself in, admitting to theft. It'll probably be arrested soon...

Just then, a trainer in the crowd who was following Tyranitar seemed to be looking for something, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

He seems to have something more important to do than chasing away wild Pokémon. If you look closely, you'll notice that his hands and feet are a bit uncoordinated, as if he hasn't fully recovered from his injury.

"Damn it... that guy must be here!"

Gray said coldly that because of his injury and hospitalization, he missed the last chance to challenge the gym, which caused his Sinnoh trip to end with seven badges and prevented him from participating in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

So he blamed all the responsibility on the Pokémon that ambushed him. If it weren't for that Pokémon, he might be the winner of the Lily of the Valley Conference now. How could it be taken by a brat!

He finally had another opportunity to volunteer, so he decided that before he recovered from his injuries and left the Sinnoh region, he must take revenge on that Pokémon and let it experience the feeling of having its arms and legs broken and being able to crawl on the ground!

Generally speaking, people who sign up for this kind of volunteer work are either genuinely short of money, have a strong aversion to stray Pokémon, or want to experience the feeling of legally bullying the weak. He belongs to all three categories...

Arcanine saw him at the Pokémon Center, but didn't go out to avoid causing trouble for everyone, deciding to wait and see what happened first.

To their surprise, Riolu, who had left with Mingyou that morning, returned with a bag on his back...

"Leo~"

Riolu had a smile on his face, as if he had experienced something good, and he was walking with great strides, eager to tell everyone about it.

It was completely unaware of the situation. Miss Joey tried to wave it away, but it was too late.

"Leo?"

After sensing a group of gazes, Riolu belatedly stopped in its tracks, but Tyranitar was already looking in their direction, and Gray also gave a cold look. Enemies meeting each other were bound to be hostile.

"finally found you!"

"Leo?!"

Riolu was shocked to see the other person. Why was this guy here? And why did he even recognize him? He had avoided the surveillance cameras that day.

Actually, Gray had seen its shadow after being woken up by the pain, but he didn't know who it was. Now that he saw it again, he recognized it instantly... But none of that matters, let's kill it first!

"Spirit Strike!"

Gray immediately ordered Tyranitar to attack, and Riolu panicked and tried to dodge. Arcanine, who was still in the Pokémon Center, was also ready to help Riolu, but just then a bolt of lightning struck Tyranitar!

"What?!"

Seeing this, everyone was shocked. Tyranitar was repelled, and then an Electivire appeared, accompanied by a voice.

"This farce should stop..."

A man with a yellow spiky hairstyle and wearing a blue jacket, who looked like the Fourth Hokage, walked over waving.

Beside him stood a man with a bright red afro, hands in his pockets, looking quite exaggerated, who grinned and said, "I never expected to see such a lively scene. You really dare to do this!"

"It's Denji, the gym leader of the Seaside Dojo, and Daiya, one of the Elite Four! What are they doing here?!"

Miss Joey was very surprised, but then a third person appeared...

"Everyone says I have a lot of connections... but even if I'm happy, I should at least stick with us. Look how fast I was running, I almost got into trouble!"

Mingyou walked over slowly with a smile on her face.

He now has a cooperative relationship with the Sinnoh League. His fruits and vegetables sold so well during the Lily of the Valley Conference that he has successfully established a solid partnership with them.

He didn't need to inform Zhu Lan about what happened in Binhai City; he only needed to tell the person in charge.

Although the other party couldn't immediately deal with the issue of expelling stray Pokémon, illegally discharging sewage into the ocean and damaging the environment was a serious crime, and the people who made the decision were immediately suspended from their duties pending investigation.

As a result, the expulsion of stray Pokémon was temporarily put on hold. After receiving the news, Denji came over with his friend Daiya, who happened to be there, since the matter was also related to them.

The solar panel power supply system in Binhai City is entirely designed by the electric power company, which is why Binhai City has achieved its current level of development. It can be said that he is Binhai City's mayor in name only.

However, due to the negative impact of his inaction over the past few years, some problems have arisen at the top levels of Binhai City. Therefore, he has been trying to remedy the situation and restore Binhai City to the atmosphere it had a few years ago.

"That's the end of this matter. You can all leave now. We'll take care of the stray Pokémon issue."

Denji spoke to everyone earnestly. Since he had said so, the other volunteers had no choice but to leave, but Gray was unwilling to leave.

"Why...?"

"You can't beat me, is that alright?"

Da Ye suddenly interjected. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings, how could he not see the character of the person in front of him? What else could he do besides bully the weak? Impotent rage?

Although such words are easy to provoke hatred, they are indeed effective. Gray dared not speak out, and could only give Riolu a cold look before recalling Tyranitar and leaving.

"What an annoying guy..."

Mingyou shook his head. He didn't get the feeling that the other party was a good person at first glance. He didn't expect that the guy who seriously injured Arcanine was the one.

But none of that matters anymore...

He snapped out of his thoughts and walked towards Miss Joey and the others, waving with a smile: "It's all taken care of. Dianci and Daye will help with the orphanage, and you don't need to crowdfund."

"this……"

Miss Joey could hardly believe it; it was actually solved? Was she dreaming?

"Of course it's true!"

Mingyou smiled, while simultaneously twirling a card in her hand that no one else could see...

[Riolu (lv10): After using it on an apple tree, the tree type changes to a dog-shaped berry tree. The dog-shaped berries that grow have a chance to learn a move (Aura Missile, Vacuum Wave, Close Combat, Foresight)]

He just got Riolu's card; you could say he was lucky.

Team Galactic didn't throw away the unsold items in the other person's backpack; they just kept them and returned them all.

As for those items that can no longer be returned to their owners, they will have to pay for them themselves, since it's not a large amount anyway.

He also learned that if a Pokémon commits a crime, the trainer is held responsible and may even be severely punished.

However, if there is no trainer, the punishment will be based on the severity of the crime. But Riolu's crime is not a big deal. After paying all the money, he can leave after receiving a verbal lecture from Officer Jenny.

That's why Riolu was so happy just now.

"So remember this well, and don't do it again next time!"

"Leo~"
