Only a minute had passed, and the Rocket team that had forced themselves into a desperate situation had completely lost their combat capability.

Youli looked at Ange, and the expression in her eyes became very complicated.

Soon, after controlling all these people, Ange looked at Youli here.

"Why did they arrest you?"

Chapter 193 Something is wrong

Ange actually didn't expect that the first question she asked would be this.

When he saw Youli at that time, Ange thought that he would be deeply touched, and when they met face to face, he would think of many things that he and Youli had experienced together.

But after they met face to face, Ange found that she didn't have any strong feelings. She was just curious about why Team Rocket would target her who looked ordinary.

Menghuan blinked in surprise and looked at Ange. It didn't expect Ange's reaction to be so calm. It couldn't even sense much of Ange's emotional fluctuations. Even if there were, it was mostly confusion.

Youli sensed Ange's attitude, and after a moment of silence, she said softly, "I got a sea chart from a Pokémon that was being hunted."

………………

Ange accepted Youli's invitation and went to visit her old friend's house.

Ange was still very curious about what happened back then, but she no longer had the desire to get to the bottom of it.

What he was more concerned about was the sea chart that Yuri mentioned that caused her to be targeted by Team Rocket.

"It was a Golduck. It was covered in wounds when I saw it. It was at the edge of Vermilion Harbor, where I was helping some Pokémon that were hurt in the ocean."

"But I've been out there for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen a Pokémon so badly injured. It's obviously been besieged."

"I took it to my cabin and planned to do some emergency treatment first."

Hearing this, Ange looked up and looked around. Although this was a forest, it was indeed closer to Vermilion Port than the Pokémon Center.

"I originally planned to give it some emergency treatment and then send it to the Pokémon Center for treatment. But before I could send it away, it left on its own. I looked for it but couldn't find it. When I got home, I saw the sea chart on my bedside table."

"Later, I found traces of Team Rocket near my home, and I knew that there must be a big problem with this thing. But I didn't expect Team Rocket to be so anxious."

Ange was silent for a moment, then frowned and said, "Then why don't you just give the chart to Miss Junsha, or the gym leader Ma Zhishi, or to the ranger branch?"

The method that Ange mentioned should be the most consistent with the psychological logic of normal people.

If the use of the thing on hand is unclear and it will cause trouble for you, then the most appropriate way to deal with it is to give it to someone else, preferably someone who cannot be easily dealt with by the bad guys who are targeting you.

While being able to obtain limited benefits, one can also gain certain protection and reduce the possibility of being harmed.

Youli was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I have a feeling that the Gotha Duck will come back to take back this chart. It is not mine after all. But I am willing to help preserve it."

However, Youli quickly raised her head and looked at Ange and said, "But what you said makes sense. For now, it is most appropriate for me to give these things to Miss Junsha."

“But it cannot be handed over to Master Ma Zhishi and the local alliance officials.”

"Master Ma Zhishi has always had an ambiguous relationship with Team Rocket. Although he has distanced himself from them now, his attitude towards Team Rocket is still ambiguous. Local officials are under close scrutiny, so they cannot go along with Team Rocket. However, under Team Rocket's corruption, they still turn a blind eye to some of their less serious actions."

"If it weren't for the league's top players and the top brass who kept paying close attention to Vermilion City, I'm afraid Vermilion City would have been taken over by the Rockets by now."

Youli talked about some local conditions in Vermilion City. It was obvious that she had adapted to life here and knew the city she was living in very well. Although in Ange's memory, Youli's hometown was in Kanto, it should not be in Vermilion City.

She once told Ange that there was a big mountain in her hometown, but she never mentioned that there was a sea nearby.

Ange looked at Youli, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more for the time being.

Along the way, Ange chatted with Youli. He did not take the initiative to mention the reason why Youli quit the forest ranger team. In fact, quitting the forest ranger team is not uncommon. Forest rangers are a hard job, and there are always some people who come to this group with great ideals. Then after a few years of hardship, they are ruthlessly taught a lesson by reality, and then choose to change their appearance and start a new life. Throw away the hunting cursor and pick up a Poké Ball or something else.

So for this kind of reason, I won’t ask about it.

Youli did not bring it up on her own initiative. They only talked superficially about what happened back then, without going into detail, and certainly not talking about such contradictory things.

After walking for a distance, Ange saw the small house deep in the forest.

Behind the cabin was a dense forest, and in front was a small open space with some tree stumps. Obviously, this open space was also artificially created.

Ange blinked, and he and Menghuan looked at each other. They were both quite scared of this small house deep in the forest.

"What's wrong? Come in."

Youli, who had already reached the door of her house, noticed Ange who stopped and Menghuan who transformed into Hao La Squid, and greeted them.

Ange took a deep breath and walked forward with Menghuan.

During this short journey, Menghuan and Ange communicated spiritually.

"Menghuan, tell me, we won't run into any trouble later, right? This little house won't be a problem for us, right?"

"Hard to say."

Menghuan glanced at Ange and continued, "Besides, you look a little strange. Have you noticed something's wrong?"

Ange was not surprised by Meng Huan's sharpness. It was normal for Meng Huan to be so sharp. However, he did not say much, but just shook his head.

"Lets see."

………………

The cottage is simple yet cozy.

Furthermore, after entering the cabin, no strange things happened like what happened in the Evergreen Forest.

This is actually normal, things like that don't happen every day in Viridian Forest. That's too creepy.

"Welcome to my cabin."

After Youli entered the hut, many Pokémon came to greet her, chirping around her legs. Youli smiled and greeted them one by one, and took out the Pokémon food in her bag.

"You guys can find a place to sit first, anywhere is fine, don't feel restrained."

After saying that, she went ahead to feed the Pokémon.

At this time, Ange was observing his surroundings, his eyes becoming increasingly profound.

Chapter 194 Reason

"What did you feel?"

I have been with Ange for quite some time now. Even if Menghuan has not improved in other aspects, her acting skills and sensitivity to conspiracy and intrigue have improved a lot.

There's no way around it. These are probably the most prominent characteristics of humans in the eyes of Pokémon like Mew.

Disguise, conspiracy, even though there are righteous and sunny individuals, there is still a dark side in their nature.

Humans are much more complicated than Pokémon, especially these powerful Pokémon.

In the eyes of humans, this ability to defeat the strong with the weak through so-called "wisdom" is a blessing. But in the eyes of Pokémon, this is probably a tragedy.

However, it is normal for such contradictions and conflicts to exist. It is difficult for people to understand each other, not to mention people and Pokémon. This requires a longer time and more compatible values.

"I felt something was wrong."

Ange's expression did not change, and he did not sit down directly after listening to Youli's words, but was observing the various arrangements in the hut. Of course, he did not make an attitude of scrutiny and observation, but observed it in a state of visiting.

"The layout here is full of defense."

Ange looked at the layout patterns of some trap baits that he had seen in the forest ranger's textbook, and his suspicion grew even stronger.

For ordinary people, these traps are very cleverly arranged. Even a forest ranger would not easily discover these modified trap arrangements. But Ange is an absolute top student among forest rangers.

Although his sloppy attitude towards study made him look like a poor student, his test scores showed that he did well.

In fact, it was precisely because of this contrast that the guys in the ranger school initially slandered Ange using the excuse of cheating.

This made Ange feel ridiculous. No matter how complicated the knowledge of forest rangers was, in the end, it was just something for a bunch of little kids to learn. Ange was learning with the mind of an adult and the learning ability of a child, which was a dimensionality reduction attack in itself.

Moreover, he was not a guy without any basics. He had a solid foundation. Vivian had told him all kinds of stories since he was a child. It might be intentional or unintentional. But in these stories that she had personally experienced, many of the rangers' survival skills, combat skills, or other things were reflected in these stories.

If it were a child, these stories would remain dormant in his memory for a long time, and eventually, when he needed them, they would turn into a bullet that traveled through time and shot him between the eyebrows.

But Ange was not a child, so he easily integrated the experiences, lessons and skills from the chief ranger and quickly mastered them, even though he had never put them into practice.

When he competed with those kids in academic performance, it was a complete dimensionality reduction attack.

Now thinking back, the bullying had no effect on him. Even without Youli, he could have finished his course there peacefully. It was just a not-so-happy journey.

Countless thoughts quickly emerged in his mind and then disappeared again. His mind was like this, always prone to random thoughts. Sometimes it would help him think things through, but more often it would just add to his troubles.

But now, Ange at least understood one thing.

"There's something wrong with Youli."

Ange said this to Menghuan confidently in their secret channel.

"What's the problem? How are you going to deal with it?"

The dreamy expression involuntarily became a little serious. Of course, there was also some helplessness.

"I was saying that I really can't have a peaceful life following you. I really feel that my previous life as a god was not as eventful as this one."

Ange chuckled: "It's just a few twists and turns. It can't be called grand."

"Just wait. According to my experience, these so-called minor setbacks are the precursors to your later great ups and downs."

After hearing this, Ange did not respond immediately. Instead, after a long silence, he said softly, "Keep silent for now. I plan to continue observing. Even if it's because of our friendship back then, I don't want to be aggressive right away."

Menghuan nodded and then stopped talking. It knew that Ange must have his reasons for making such a choice. At the very least, it believed that Ange would be able to handle these things.

At the same time, Dream is somewhat regrettable.

It seems that there is not enough motivation between Kona and Ange for the time being.

Both of them care about each other, but neither of them is passionate enough. They give each other too much freedom. If this continues, how long will it take for the affection to turn into love...

When Huanhuan thought about the food that Xiaokong promised to give her, she began to rack her brains to see if there was any way to speed up the process.

"Sorry to embarrass you with such a simple decoration."

After feeding the Pokémon with scars on their bodies, Youli smiled and said to Ange.

"No, it's cozy. It's really a nice place."

Ange actually wanted to say more, but now thinking about it, in the short time they spent together, he didn't know Youli well enough. So now he couldn't say something like "very suitable for you".

He had no idea what Youli was suitable for.

They were not so-called childhood sweethearts, they were just people who licked each other's wounds at that point in time.
