Chapter 64: Zuo Hang: Stay Back
Xingye aimed the terminal at this clueless Pokémon.
【Detecting Pokémon data.】
【This Pokémon is not in the Pokédex database. It is recommended to upgrade the Pokédex version or switch to a terminal with a higher permission level.】
【ps: This terminal’s suggestions are very useful! Don’t be mean to me(￣.￣). You have time to be mean to me, but you might as well think about what to do. I’m just a cute Black Terminal. Charging for five minutes gives me two months of battery life, and I’m working very hard too! *shivers in anger*! When will humans and machines achieve mutual understanding?】
Xingye shrugged.
Indicating that this terminal was beyond saving.
Zuo Hang and Lin Ping looked at him with disdainful eyes.
Lin Ping spoke first, “This is Guzzlord, an Ultra Beast. You don’t know?”
“What’s an Ultra Beast?” Xingye asked.
Zuo Hang said: “You even know how the Artificial Secret Realm came about, but you don’t know what an Ultra Beast is?”
Xingye scratched his head, “No, am I supposed to know about this? Are normal trainers supposed to know about Ultra Beasts? The White Dragon’s Pokédex level should be very high, right? If this broken terminal doesn’t know, how could I possibly know?”
The terminal in his hand suddenly vibrated.
【Don’t be mean to me!! I’m just a cute ter.】
“Pa~”
Xingye directly shut down the terminal.
“What exactly is this Ultra Beast? Why do you all know about it except me?”
Zuo Hang said: “This is Guzzlord, codename UB05. It might not be strong in its original world, but for our world, it’s destruction-level.”
Lin Ping added: “It’s said that Guzzlord’s appetite is twenty times that of a Snorlax, and this Pokémon has a violent temperament and extremely strong vitality. Even so, when Ultra Beasts appeared back then, Guzzlord wasn’t really that hard to deal with. The ones that gave investigators the most headaches were still Buzwell and Nihilego.”
“Wait a minute. Why do you know so much about this?” This wasn’t asked by Xingye, but by Zuo Hang.
Lin Ping said: “I wasn’t planning to hide it from you guys anyway. In the Beast Subjugation War of ’16, my parents were both participating investigators, and at the same time, they were also casualties of that battle. The origin of the Ultra Beasts is said to be White Dragon’s Internal Secret Realm No. 2077! I joined White Dragon largely to investigate the Ultra Beasts and my parents’ deaths.”
With every sentence Lin Ping said, Zuo Hang’s frown deepened.
’16.
Isn’t that nine years ago?
No wonder he had never heard of Ultra Beasts after coming to this world. Turns out the subjugation war to exterminate the Ultra Beasts had already ended before he arrived.
“My parents were both investigators. They lived their lives accompanied by danger, so they didn’t want me to follow the same old path as an investigator. They just wanted me to live peacefully my whole life, so I’m called Lin Ping.”
“Hoping for you to live peacefully your whole life, then why didn’t you call yourself Lin Peaceful?” Xingye couldn’t help but retort: “You might not believe it, but I used to know a friend surnamed Lin too. His parents were also investigators, but his parents hoped their son would be like them in the future, able to right all the wrongs in the world.”
“So he was surnamed Lin, named Lin Jintian.” Xingye said very seriously.
Zuo Hang fell silent.
Lin Ping also fell silent.
“Pika~” Pikachu sighed, indicating it hadn’t been hit by the reversal.
“Maoji(╬◣д◢)!!” The Snowy Child on his shoulder hammered Xingye’s head, indicating that the joke just now was very stupid.
Zuo Hang ignored Xingye and patted Lin Ping’s shoulder, “In the end, you still came to White Dragon, and even investigated matters related to Ultra Beasts, not following the path your parents hoped for.”
“Want to be an investigator in the future?” Zuo Hang asked.
“Yeah.” Lin Ping nodded.
Xingye immediately got excited! He reached out and patted Lin Ping’s other shoulder, “Pingzi Ge, you’re on the right path now! My Hangzi Ge is practically the League’s youngest investigator! Only 16 years old, 3-star special.”
【—Beep~beep~beep~】
Halfway through the words, all three of their terminals rang at the same time.
The Black Terminal had automatically popped up the map.
Three green fluorescent dots clustered together, location Rainforest A Zone, and within one kilometer of the three, there were three other fluorescent green dots blinking at different frequencies!
041, 052, 063, 066.
Judging by the numbers, it should be a four-person squad from Class B.
Zuo Hang had discovered them, so they must have discovered Zuo Hang too!
“What do we do? Fight or not?” Xingye asked.
“It’s been less than half a day, they probably don’t have many points on them either. See if they fight. If they do, we’ll definitely have to engage.” Zuo Hang said.
Xingye glanced at the Gardevoir and Darkrai behind Zuo Hang, suddenly feeling invincible in a fight!
One shouldn’t be too confident; it’s not a good thing, but for some reason, Xingye really wanted to laugh.
“Farfetch’d! Use Slash!”
The signal had just appeared, and after Zuo Hang and Xingye exchanged only two sentences, a white light slashed toward the three of them.
Such a quick reaction meant the opponents were probably constantly watching the map. Farfetch’d was likely the scout for this four-person squad.
The Electric Mouse whipped Farfetch’d away with a tail swipe. Its trainer seemed to be running this way, and the command just now had been shouted from a great distance.
From this, it seemed this Farfetch’d was indeed playing the role of scout in this four-person squad.
“Don’t fight here. It’ll be trouble if we wake this Beast! Let’s retreat first!” Zuo Hang said to the two.
Xingye and Lin Ping immediately withdrew upon hearing this.
Swablu emerged from the Poké Ball, and two hovering Ice Blades appeared in Snowy Child’s hands.
“Farfetch’d! Air Cutter!”
The Class B trainer clearly didn’t care about any Ultra Beast, especially since Guzzlord looked like a black oval ball from afar, impossible to tell it was a Pokémon.
A small-scale high-speed airflow stirred up in the abandoned city, several air slashes condensing behind Farfetch’d.
With a swing of the leek root in its hand, the air slashes immediately shot toward Zuo Hang.
“—Pa~”
Darkrai snapped its fingers.
A small-range Dark Pulse met the air slashes.
The formed wind blades were scattered by a sudden surge of dark matter. Farfetch’d was directly blasted away, rolling far along the broken asphalt road, finally barely stopping by grabbing a piece of straw.
“Farfetch’d!” A Class B trainer exclaimed, hurriedly helping Farfetch’d up.
Looking up, they saw the Darkrai and Gardevoir beside Zuo Hang, a flash of fear in their eyes.
“Class Monitor, it’s Zuo Hang from Class A!”
“I know! I saw him!”
Number 041, Class B’s Class Monitor, also Farfetch’d’s trainer.
Fighting them was definitely unwinnable. They should have checked the numbers clearly before rushing in.
Thinking about how to resolve this, the opposing Zuo Hang suddenly said, “Don’t just stand there like idiots! Get farther away!”
The Class B Class Monitor was stunned.
Get farther away? What did that mean?
Zuo Hang’s expression was too calm to be effective, so Xingye hurriedly said: “Get the hell out of here! Go far away!”
“Fuck! Who are you cursing at? Brothers! We have no points on us, not afraid of them robbing us. Let’s do it!”
“Damn! This blue-haired guy is too arrogant! Get him!”
Xingye facepalmed.
Some people are just born stupid.
“—Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~”
Like the furious roar of a giant dragon awakened from a beautiful dream.
The four from Class B felt their eardrums about to shatter, followed by multicolored Flowing Light lighting up on them.
White Dragon’s blessing activated, and the four were forcibly sent out of the Secret Realm by Reshiram’s consciousness.
Zuo Hang repeated his earlier words, but this time to Xingye and Lin Ping.
“You guys get farther away, the farther the better!”
After thinking about it, I feel like the Black Terminal needs a Character Card.
