Pokémon Detective Case Files

Chapter 232 Time Presses On

Chapter 234 Time Presses On

At the entrance to the Tower of Heaven, amidst the tall grass, although the detective had a general understanding of the battle inside the tower, he did not choose to climb the tower himself to rescue the mythical Pokémon trapped in the special Poké Ball.

The reasons are somewhat complex, but for Hugo, it was a perfectly natural way of thinking—

Adebayo and Joggs faced off on the Tower of Heaven, and Joggs, unprepared for the champion's strength, was destined to lose. However, Hugo suspected that if he entered the Tower of Heaven at this moment, his strange physique might cause inexplicable accidents, thereby changing the outcome of the battle on the tower and causing the situation, which was originally in the League's favor, to spiral out of control.

Staying in the same place is also not a suitable option.

Joggs descended the tower, and even with the protection of the King of Team Plasma, Hugo, who lacked combat abilities, was still in grave danger. Besides, there was no need for him to meet with the Sage of Team Plasma; it would bring him no benefit whatsoever—although Hugo had read Joggs's historical works, he was far from being a fanatical reader.

So, after eliminating all the things that are impossible or unthinkable, what remains is the action to be taken next.

Just as the sage in blue was stunned by the true form of the fire moth, the ambulance convoy that the detective had called in advance via text message arrived at the scene.

Urged on by Hugo, the paramedics directed their medical Pokémon to prioritize loading the injured near the green-haired youth onto the vehicles. While Joggs and the Symbol Bird glided down from the tower and knelt before N, the ambulance convoy hadn't yet circled around to the back of the Tower of Paradise to rescue the injured there—they had just narrowly avoided a direct confrontation with the Safeguard.

Before leaving, Yu Qun made a deal with N: the detective promised to find a way to liberate Bictini beneath the Tower of Heaven in N's place, while N would fabricate a reason to expel Yoggs from Blowing City. ★😝 690x.ᶜoᵐ 🍬🐙

"Among humans, you have few people you can trust." I remember N earnestly pleading with Yu Qun back then—

The boy hooked his arm around Yu Qunxin's neck and flipped down like climbing a tree, shouting down at the detective from above—

The boy, with a tooth hidden in his hair, was full of confidence. He waited for Joey's reply and then slowly pushed me into the room.

It is a Dragon-type Salamence native to the Unova region, and it can eventually bond with Haxorus.

"He must be worried! Your strength is quite weak."

N was willing to see Victini lose his freedom in another way before he was freed, so he added conditions to the deal between the two.

That sage is really unlucky. He was just defeated by the Unova Champion, and it was a mythical Pokémon that he had abandoned. He was immediately reprimanded by the King and wanted to "fly" away from Elysium City. In addition, his flight has aroused the vigilance of the Flying-type Gym Leader... It is no wonder that I am thinking of the old saying, "Good fortune comes in pairs, but misfortune comes alone".

"Then he must be starting to doubt your fighting abilities, right?" Pokémon asked the detective in front of him, reaching out to stroke Yu Qunxin's neck.

"There's no such thing as a matter of priority or urgency—you're more concerned about the condition of these trainers' partners outside the ambulance than the mythical Pokémon imprisoned by Team Plasma. You need to create an opportunity for them to return to their trainers."

The moment it appeared, its powerful, albeit weak, dragon-like aura shook the earth, creating dust storms. This Alice was smaller than other members of its kind, its eyes fierce and savage yet devoid of thermostatic composure; it seemed to have been raised to be quite wicked. 🐉🐸 ➅❾ⓈⓗỮ乂.Ć𝐎𝕞 🐼💙

The green-haired youth frowned: "You're the one who will assist him in that matter."

Just like short people are affable and aware of their height, Pokémon earnestly and subtly emphasized behind Nurse Joy's back.

Time waits for no one; once it's gone, it's gone forever.

Halfway through his sentence, Yu Qun seemed to notice something unusual under the boy and abruptly stopped talking.

"The temptation of a Salamence that brings failure should be very small for a trainer, so you would prefer that someone else, rather than him, to free the Pokémon in your place."

"Since he added a restriction to your deal, let's have you add another one."

Duo Nan looked full of energy, with a tiny hairstyle that was proportional to her large figure—long purple hair braided into two ponytails on the top of her head, and the rest of her hair was tied up in front of her with a bow, forming a tiny, fluffy head that looked like it could be used as a sleeping bag by a large flying dragon.

"Pokémon, you think he should be an excellent Salamence trainer, someone whose work is far less serious and brutal than arresting criminals or battling Pokémon," the detective said with a serious expression.

"Your name is Pokémon, and you're a Dragon-type expert who doesn't even qualify as the Gym Leader of Ottoman City. Your Salamence is even better at battles than that of the Wind Dew Sister over there. Of course, you're not qualified to be your substitute in fighting crime."

"A substitute? Where did the original owner of Fenglu Pavilion go?"

Noticing the detective's wary gaze, the purple-haired boy stood with his hands on his hips, a smug smile on his face.

"Hmph, it seems he has no taste at all. He's really not worthy of being the detective recommended by Sister Hugo."

The detective then gave this answer.

The well-trained posture, the tan lines from long journeys, the slightly worn clothing from being close to the baby Salamence, the calluses on the fingers and between the thumb and forefinger from the Poké Balls, and the confident aura built up only through repeated failures... all these signs indicate that the big boy behind you, carrying the baby Salamence, is not as powerful as you initially appear.

As they spoke, the Pokémon simultaneously threw a red and white Poké Ball into the open space in the center of the Salamence. A split second earlier, Iris, a creature with blood-red wings on its back, appeared behind them.

"Even if the police launch a search, they will surely be able to arrest the criminal, right? The reason Sister Hugo entrusted you with this operation is not to prevent the most exciting scenario from happening. Rather than cooperating with the police, you should take the initiative."

Behind the boy's head, a cub with tiny, sharp teeth peeked out from his hair, staring at him with a mischievous look.

"No problem," Joey said after a moment's hesitation. "He keeps saying he wants to complete the arrest operation today as quickly as possible. Is it because he doesn't have any other urgent matters to attend to before then?"

"It is thanks to His Majesty the King for his trouble—there are very few people outside the city of Fukichi who would be willing to offer assistance in the face of such an evil organization that acts with impunity."

Yes, the statement about sleeping bags seems to be a metaphor.

"Before you finish dealing with the incident in Fubuki City, you need to go to the Tower of Heaven to challenge Grandpa Alder. You're not even half a day late yet; if you hurry, you'll be in time for your duel with this Volcarona!"

"Wait, wait." The detective pressed down on the other person's head, trying to gain a firm footing. "Who is he? Yu Qun, who commissioned you, said the main force in that operation was the gym leader of Fuki City. This Feng Lu should be the one. Someone as big as him..."

In the lounge of the Flying Dragon Center in Fubuki City, a brown-skinned boy blocked the detective's path.

"Of course!"

"Originally, you were supposed to come over there with me. We were going to cross the road there later, but you saw a suspicious person flying overhead riding a symbolic bird. He looked like he was wearing a Plasma Group outfit, so you changed your plans and rode a flying dragon to follow him—you would take his place to arrest the robber."

"Personally, you want to wait until the police have fully assembled before joining us in this friendly operation, which would make the manhunt much safer—according to the information you received later, we only need at least one hour to launch a city-wide manhunt."

"Right after arriving in Fuyuki City, you defeated Grandpa Shaka, who is also the Gym Leader of Osaka City. This is a Gym Leader when he gets serious. You're currently with your weakest partners, and even compared to the entire Fuyuki City police force, you're not confident you'll have the upper hand. Detective, now is the time to make the most of every second, so let him lead the way in a friendly manner."

Just as a person's life experiences are etched into the details of their behavior like tree rings, subtle traces will also be left on the trainer's body.

"You heard from Sister Yu Qun over there that you're a detective and know the whereabouts of these good people, right? Then you should slow down your journey and try to retrieve these stolen Flying Dragons today!"

"The battle is yours to handle! Watch as you take down all those eggs that are stealing other people's Pokémon!"

The young man was even more quick-witted than Joey had expected, and immediately rejected the detective's passive and conservative action plan.

This must be Joggs, who just came up from the Tower of Heaven, Joey thought to himself.
