Pokémon, Ash's art style is off!

Ash was also dumbfounded.

"Presented as evidence in court? What's going on?"

The investigator turned around, his expression serious.

"Based on the progress of the investigation into several recent attacks on Trainers around the Indigo League, we now have conclusive evidence to suggest that..."

He pointed at Nemo.

"she!"

"This is the culprit behind the recent attacks on multiple participants!"

"......ha?"

Nemo was taken aback.

"Isn't it a mystery Pokémon?"

"Are you still putting up a stubborn resistance even now?!"

The investigator's voice suddenly rose.

"Let me tell you, I not only have photos of you attacking the trainer, but I also have the victim's testimony!"

"The chain of evidence is closed! And you... are the murderer!"

After reciting those lines, the investigator's chest heaved slightly, and he felt incredibly satisfied.

He attained enlightenment in a single day!

Just before the conference began, he was just an ordinary staff member sitting on the sidelines in the security patrol department.

My biggest worries every day are what to eat for lunch and what time I can get off work in the evening.

As a result, several trainers have been attacked around the tournament area recently, increasing the pressure from above, and he has to work overtime patrolling every day.

Yesterday afternoon, he was squatting next to the patrol car eating a rice ball when a voice suddenly popped into his head.

They're saying the one attacking the trainer wasn't a Pokémon, it was a human.

Of course, he scoffed at his own idea at the time.

Just kidding, all the victims' descriptions point to that mysterious Pokémon, how could it possibly be a trainer?

I had just muttered to myself that I needed evidence when a very distinctive face popped into my mind.

At the time, he thought it was because he had been working too much overtime and was not getting enough sleep, which made him mentally foggy. He even took advantage of his lunch break to go back to his dormitory, empty the magazine, and get a good night's sleep.

But even after clearing my mind, that face still pops up in my head from time to time.

Although he had his suspicions, he was always cautious. After all, there was no evidence, so it was just pure speculation.

It's probably just a fantasy! We can't even be sure if this person actually exists!

I never expected that after just one night's sleep, there would be photos inexplicably appearing on my desk the next day at work.

These are photos of the victim from last night!

The woman in his mind was right there in the photo, taken in incredibly high definition and without any blurring!

He immediately realized something was wrong—how did the photos suddenly appear!

Could it be...?

Was it because I've been under too much stress these past few days, and I was sleepwalking?

I hesitated for a long time about whether to skip work and go to the hospital for a checkup.

He felt a sharp pain in his head, and a location immediately came to mind.

A voice inside me tells me that the person is right there.

He originally intended to ignore it.

But for some inexplicable reason, he put down the encyclopedia, called a few companions, and made his way here.

When he arrived, he was immediately shocked; it really was right here!

It seems... I really do have a talent for solving cases!

"Cough cough!"

Upon hearing this man's impassioned speech, his three colleagues behind him exchanged complicated glances.

The older one stepped forward, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a few words.

"What? We can't arrest them? And the victims have all said they won't pursue the matter? We can only give them a warning?"

"hateful!"

The investigator clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

"Are all the bigwigs from other regions meddling in our internal affairs in the Kanto region?! So arrogant!?"

"After all, the conference does not have law enforcement power."

Xiao Gang added a timely comment from the side.

"If you want to do that, you'll have to pass the police exam first."

Investigator: "......."

Such a dark society in the Kanto region!

Could it be that I, a genius detective, am about to perish?

He waved his hand, indicating that he should take Nemo away.

The disheartened investigator prepares to seek help from the newly arrived, telepathic Dr. Gardevoir.

Behind her, Nemo was being carried out by two staff members, but she desperately turned her head to look at the bewildered Ash.

"Ash! Wait for me!"

"You have to wait for me!!"

"You'd better wait for me to come out!!!"

Unlike Nemo, Babubo, who has a very high level of affection for Ash, took advantage of his trainer's inattention and kept waving his little paws.

Don't wait for her!

fast!

Run!

Never look back!

255. NO! NO! NO!

The four stood still, watching the group's figures grow smaller and smaller until Nemo's figure completely disappeared around the corner, at which point Lillie broke the silence.

She was somewhat amazed.

"I really didn't expect that Miss Nemo would actually be that mysterious attack maniac from the tournament's ghost stories!"

You can only say that you can't judge a book by its cover.

After all, in Lillie's limited memory, Nemo, although a bit eccentric, seemed like a sunny, cheerful older sister who was passionate about battles.

It doesn't seem like the kind of person who would attack people randomly...

...That kind of person...right?

Recalling how he challenged Ash to a duel as soon as he woke up, he carefully analyzed the details.

Upon noticing the many similarities between the two, Lillie suddenly felt that things were becoming more complicated.

Xiao Gang and Xiao Xia, who were standing nearby, nodded in agreement.

It really doesn't look like it.

After all, with her physical condition, she could collapse after walking just a few steps.

To be able to attack multiple trainers in a row like that, what kind of perseverance and execution is that!

Just thinking about how she probably has to lie in bed for half a day after each attack makes me realize that.

They felt that the threshold for the "Great Conference of Strange Tales" was now too low.

"The Kanto region is truly declining with each generation."

Xiaoxia sighed, remembering what the old man had said earlier.

"really."

Xiao Gang nodded as well.

Unlike the trio who were filled with emotion, Ash was frowning, lost in his own thoughts.

On one side was the eye contact agreement he had made with Nemo, and on the other was Babu Tubo's life-risking warning.

One waited, the other ran.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi was caught in a dilemma between faith and righteousness.

If he doesn't wait, then he is essentially abandoning the agreement he made with his own eyes, becoming a person who doesn't keep his word.

But if he waited, how could he possibly live up to the warning that Babu Tubo had given him, even at the cost of everything?

Wouldn't that make me an unjust person?

"Wait... or run... wait... or run..."

Xiao Zhi's CPU roared to life, reaching its peak performance for the first time in its life.

"Pikachu?"

Pikachu tilted its head and peered over for a while. After confirming that its trainer was in some kind of frozen state, it decisively took out the mouse's water bottle from its backpack.

Then, he carefully sprinkled a few drops of cool water on Xiaozhi's head to cool him down.

After all, it was a little intelligent beast that I had personally tamed. If it were really burned, there wouldn't be another one like it!

Under the water cooling effect, Ash's brain circuits finally managed to start working again, but he still couldn't figure it out.
