Pokémon from Galar

After Miss Officer Jenny finished speaking, she hung up the phone, which sounded like she was planning to start investigating the surveillance footage immediately.

Mary also put down the landline and let out a long sigh of relief.

She shifted slightly to let Su-chan sit next to her, and they squeezed together into the large chair. Then, she put both of her arms around I-chan on her knees.

"At that time, I might need to trouble you, Si-chan, to use hypnosis to ask some questions."

"Sha~ (I'll try my best!)"

Mary plans to find a way to secretly have Sis infiltrate the past to hypnotize the other party, obtain information, and then return pretending nothing happened.

The Rockets' situation has been going on for quite some time. If they were monitoring our side, the timing is a bit strange. So it's possible that the exposure was caused by a last-minute personnel change.

Therefore, compared to this easily exposed person, the watcher who has been hiding himself from being discovered is clearly more important.

Even if the surveillance only started now, it's much easier to deal with someone you've already discovered than someone who's more vigilant.

Officer Jenny probably thought the same thing, so she didn't mention capturing it at all. Moreover, Officer Jenny has an experienced Ghost-type Pokémon, so she's probably having the same idea as Marnie.

Since she's not a proper trainer, Officer Jenny has only caught one Pokémon besides her signature Arcanine, which excels at stealth combat.

According to what Mary asked the other party at the time...

'We can't let Arcanine run rampant through town all the time, so we need a Pokémon that's good at sneaking in and ambushing to help.'

"Sigh... I thought I would improve my strength safely, just like I remember, but why did some random ginseng come to Galar?"

Leaning back in her chair, Mary sighed. Couldn't things be a little more comfortable? It's all adventure, but she'd much rather face those legendary Pokémon than terrorists, okay?

"Sha~ (Because Mary is very outstanding, and I've heard that outstanding people always tend to get into trouble.)"

Sis's words startled Mary. She turned her head, looked up at Sis's smiling face, and asked curiously:

Where did you learn that from?

"Sha~ (in the forum~)"

While it's not just Suzu-chan who's interested in electronic devices, she's truly the only one interested in online communities.

Marie had previously given the phone she bought in Alola to Sis to use. Since it didn't affect her training, Marie didn't pay much attention to what Sis was looking at.

"Oh, I see... Nasu-chan, you haven't been looking at any weird websites, have you?"

Mary scratched her head, but in the end she couldn't help but ask. Although it seemed like it wouldn't matter if she saw it, she was inexplicably concerned.

"Sha~ (Marie, what website are you referring to?)"

"..."

Mary found Sis's tone rather subtle. After meeting her gaze for a few seconds, Mary was the first to back down.

"Never mind... It's okay if you read it. I'm just worried that you might be given the wrong knowledge by those exaggerated things. If you don't, then it's fine."

"Sha~ (I understand~ The information I found using Mary's privileges actually includes this knowledge, so I won't be misled~)"

"..."

You've definitely seen this before! By the way, which database did you look for? Why would you even see this?

Chapter 304 Team Rocket's Operations and Nie Zi's Killing Intent

While Marie was in her gym discussing plans with Officer Jenny, on the southernmost snowfield of Galar, Domino was walking through the snow with a seemingly weathered, ordinary-looking middle-aged man, discussing the legends of Galar.

"...Most of the legends fell silent three thousand years ago. Is it really possible to find any clues?"

Domino lowered his head with considerable suspicion, staring at the information in his hand. These things were easy to find in Galar, and collecting them would not arouse any suspicion from anyone.

"Let's give it a try. If we can't find it, familiarizing ourselves with the terrain will make our future actions easier. Maybe it won't be long before we see the light of day again."

"Then what are you doing here in person... You don't understand research matters, do you?"

Domino turned her head to look at the face that had changed countless times, and tugged at the corner of her mouth, with a slightly bad feeling.

"For insurance purposes, if we do discover something, then it will be my turn to step in. But until then, I'm just an ordinary guide."

"Hi hi..."

Domino didn't say anything more. The legends of the snowfield can be roughly divided into three: one is the Crane King, who is said to have ruled Galar; another is the Three Divine Pillars, which also appear in other regions; and the last is their target, the Three Divine Birds.

According to legend, the three divine birds of Galar do not live here all the time, but only come once every few decades. Although it is indeed time for them to appear, it is not something that can be found in just one or two visits.

"Let's investigate that so-called giant, pale red tree that resembles flames today."

That tree is quite a famous landmark in the snowfield. Even the locals don't know how long it has been there. Its bright colors, tall trunk, and branches make it very eye-catching.

Unfortunately, almost all the berries on that tree have been eaten by wild Pokémon. It's easy for humans to approach, but to get the berries, you'd need someone to pay a high price to hire a skilled trainer.

However, since there is only one village in the entire snowfield where humans live, it is a Pokémon paradise, just like the Wild Area. There are many powerful Pokémon here, and it is not something that can be done easily to bring out the berries intact.

Of course, this information had nothing to do with Domino; she didn't have the extra energy to cause trouble for herself.

"It's okay for me, you can decide on this."

"Don't worry, we're just going to take a look today. We don't plan to do anything. The probability of a battle is very low."

Duomino tightened her cotton-padded coat and pulled her hat down. The weather in this godforsaken place was freezing, even colder than Zhanjing Town. No wonder there was only one small village in this godforsaken place.

"hope so."

"I'd rather the team leader's side doesn't have any problems than ours, at least not before we leave."

Hearing Dormino's words, Lambda smiled wryly. Although that's what he said, he would definitely go to provide support if something really happened. Dormino wasn't a combatant, so it was understandable that he would think that way.

After all, if she were to expose herself, any elite trainer could easily defeat her.

"Apollo isn't so easy to deal with, so don't worry."

Lambda casually comforted Domino, saying that so many days have passed, it's unlikely that something will really not happen today.

While Lambda and Dormino were discussing...

On the other side, deep in the snowy mountains.

Nie Zi walked through the snow with Weavile. He had been searching for Team Rocket's trail for many days, finding several temporary bases and even capturing several elite members, but he couldn't stop the leader no matter what he did.

Reports from other detectives came through his earpiece from time to time. He had spent several days building a perimeter, forcing the Rockets into the Summit Tunnel.

"Judging by the time, Mary should be home by now."

"Ow~"

"Then we need to catch these little mice quickly, we can't keep my sister waiting too long."

Nie Zi's lips curled into a smile, but his eyes became exceptionally terrifying. How dare you set your sights on Mary? Even if Sakaki himself came today, he could only collect your corpse, Apollo.

Nie Zi raised her hand and pressed the communication button; her emotionless voice came through the earpiece.

"Everyone, be alert. Today is the day to close the net. We can't let anyone escape. Anyway, they have accomplices. Those who are hard to catch, kill them on the spot."

"Yes!"

Nie Zi looked up and gazed at the mountaintop, silently apologizing to the legend in his heart, before stepping straight into the tunnel.

"Boss, besides the exit leading up the mountain, there are criminal police squads at every exit... Wait, I saw Nie Zi come in!"

"...Nie Zi!!"

Apollo's eyes were bloodshot. He snatched the monitor from his subordinate and stared at the young man on the screen, wishing he could tear him to pieces right now!

"call……"

Forcing himself to close his eyes and take a few deep breaths, Apollo quickly calmed himself down. He had underestimated Nie Zi, thinking that even if Nie Zi was exceptionally talented as a trainer, his strength in criminal investigation would be limited.

But unexpectedly, he himself made a mistake and was forced into a corner by Nie Zi.

"But you're foolish enough to want to fight me head-on... I'll show you that underestimating Apollo comes at a price!"

Apollo returned the monitor to the man and then gave instructions:

"I'll lead you in one direction to break through. Once you're out, run! If you can escape, don't go looking for Lambda. Wait for him to contact you. As for me, I'll go deal with Nie Zi!"

"Boss..."

The dozen or so elite team members following Apollo were all surprised that Apollo would cover their retreat and let them escape first.

"Shut up, that's an order. You, plan the route, we're leaving in ten minutes!"

After giving his orders, Apollo found a place to sit down, taking advantage of the brief moment to recover his composure. He listened to the whispered discussions around him, inwardly sneering.

The tunnel at the top was such a huge place that it was difficult to find a way out, so the police only blocked the entrance and did not venture in.

As Nie Zi walked through the cave, he glanced at the time. He wasn't sure if the other party would accept the challenge, but it didn't matter whether they did or not. Nie Zi looked at the seventh Poké Ball on his waist, which was a Psychic-type Pokémon borrowed from the temporary league.

Each team carries a token, meaning they can get Nie Zi to their destination in just a few seconds after an incident. Apollo wouldn't be foolish enough to stay in the cave and wait.

Digging a hole won't help unless he can dig deep enough to reach Hualang Town from here. Otherwise, the Ground-type Pokémon used for surveillance can detect his approximate location.

……

In the dojo in Spiketown,

Marie took the three communication headsets handed to her by Gengar, turned off the computer in front of her. She and Officer Jenny had already screened out several suspects and made a plan, so it was almost time to start screening them.

After putting on the headsets for herself, Sis-chan, and I-chan, Mary turned them on and was able to hear Officer Jenny's voice without any problems.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

"Very clear, how about you?"

"Sha~ (I can hear it)"

"Ee~ (Me too)"

Mary nodded, put her hands on Sis and Eevee, and smiled at Gengar.

"Then let's get started!"

call out--!

Mary disappeared from the office, and then Gengar, chuckling, slipped into the shadows to join Officer Jenny.

Touch it all day!

I'm taking a break and plan to write a bit of the mythical beast storyline from Crown Snowfield ahead of time. Whether I'll collect it or not is another matter. Anyway, Marie doesn't need mythical beasts anymore; she can create them herself by hand.

One hundred words ...
