Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 534 The Second Line of Secret Development

Before Shota could finish his words, Kawashima Ono immediately interrupted him:

"That is to say, you still have a layer of insurance in your hands that can save our lives."

Shota nodded seriously to show his affirmativeness, and took out a very ancient-looking parchment scroll from his pocket.

"This contains the method of training a flaming horse. It was left by my great-great-great-great grandfather. He was a herdsman on the grassland at that time and got this thing by chance."

While Shota was speaking, Kawashima Ono walked up to Shota without any hesitation and snatched the very ancient-looking parchment scroll from his hand, then couldn't wait to open it and take a look.

After finding the words inside, he put it in his pocket without thinking twice.

But in order to save face, Kawashima Ono clenched his fist and coughed beside his mouth, then said earnestly:

"Leave this parchment scroll with me for now. Don't worry, our lives are tied together. I will definitely not harm you."

"Of course I believe you, Mr. Kawashima Ono. After all, besides the benefits I want, I really admire the heroic spirit that Mr. Kawashima Ono has."

Hearing Shota's flattery, Kawashima Ono felt very pleased in his heart, but he had already seen that the boy in front of him was definitely smarter than himself. He was flattering him only because he had already snatched the parchment scroll from his possession and he had absolute military force to suppress the little Karami of the so-called Pokémon Hunter Organization.

However, in order to make his eating appearance less ugly, Kawashima Ono continued to speak earnestly:

"That's good to know. Let's end our meeting here today. I'm afraid that if it goes on for too long, it will arouse the suspicion of some people with ulterior motives."

"But…"

"There's nothing to worry about. Don't you believe me?"

Facing Kawashima Ono's face, which changed faster than turning the pages of a book, Shota quickly waved his hands.

"No, I just haven't seen any tangible benefits coming to me, so I'm a little worried."

Kawashima Ono slowly walked to Shota's side, patted his shoulder, and continued to comfort him earnestly:

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything. As long as I have meat to eat, your bones will definitely be there. Let's go."

Hearing the wolfish ambition that was completely revealed in Kawashima Ono's words, Shota bent over to Kawashima Ono, his body trembling slightly. Fortunately, his acting skills were good enough and he did not laugh out loud, but it happened to be a blessing in disguise.

"Thank you, Mr. Kawashima Ono!"

After saying this, Shota immediately stood up straight and then left with big strides.

Seeing Shota with his back to him, Kawashima Ono took out a Poké Ball from his arms, thought for a moment, and finally slowly put it back into his pocket.

Hearing the door slamming shut, Kawashima Ono felt so distressed that he could not help but curse in a low voice:

"Young man, you don't know how to control your strength. You're going to pay for the broken door? How despicable!"

Looking at the parchment scroll in his arms, the expression of disgust on Kawashima Ono's face immediately turned into incomparable joy.

"With those flaming horses and this training guide, I can be promoted again.

This is a gift from God. God wants me to make progress.

Haha, you look young and quite smart, but you are still too young. Old ginger is more experienced. You can't hide anything on your mind. You are right, there is a saying that goes, too clever is half the trick.

You dare to smash the door? If I hadn't thought you might still be useful, I would have used my Charizard to burn you to ashes!

Alas, it’s a pity for my pretty beauty. Although her mouth is a bit broken, it’s still useful.

Forget it. When I become a high-ranking official in the future, there will be plenty of women who are prettier and live better lives than this one.

That guy should have left, right? I have to call and contact Master Kawashima Ikeda as soon as possible. No! I have to go there in person!"

After walking out of the villa, Shota looked at the dim sky and smiled triumphantly.

"Who's next? It's getting late. Let's use the night to turn the guy in Jihua City against us.

"Hehehe..."

Under the cover of night, two people with ulterior motives went to different places one after another.

One went to Jihua City and the other went to Huipi Town.

Hinoki Town is a small town on the southern peninsula of the Johto region. Mr. Steel, who lives here, can use cones to make Poké Balls with special functions. The Well of Slowpoke is a famous attraction nearby.

As night fell, the sky turned a dark color like ink, but there was no sense of darkness here.

Instead, the whole place was lit up by the fire, making for a spectacular sight.

Teams of well-equipped and solemn-looking soldiers marched in neat steps, patrolling the land with their loyal wind speed dogs, holding cold weapons in their hands, as if ready to fight at any time.

When people look down from the dark night sky, they can see countless small flames moving slowly on the ground.

The lights came from the torches and flashlights in the soldiers' hands, which illuminated the surrounding environment and allowed people to see the soldiers' figures and expressions clearly. Each soldier wore heavy armor, held sharp weapons, and stared firmly ahead. Their movements were smooth and natural, and their steps were steady and powerful, showing the demeanor of a well-trained soldier.

In the light of the fire, the weapons in the soldiers' hands flashed a faint cold light. These cold lights formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness, making people feel an invisible pressure. Every time the soldiers' footsteps landed, they made a dull sound, which was particularly loud in the silent night.

It not only represents the presence of soldiers, but also conveys a solemn atmosphere.

In this tense and quiet atmosphere, the soldiers always kept their eyes alert, not letting go of any suspicious points. Their figures appeared tall and majestic in the firelight, as if they were an indestructible fortress guarding this land. They interpreted their responsibilities and missions with their actions, and they were willing to pay any price to protect the safety of the people.

However, in contrast to them, on the top floor of the tallest building in Huihuipi Town, commanders and generals with names and surnames were watching graceful dancers dancing in front of them.

The commanders and generals all had tipsy expressions on their faces, and some were even drunk and lying on the table, still mumbling:

"Little darling, come here quickly and serve your uncle well."
