Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 13 A corner of suffering

While the two people in the cave were discussing their retreat, Rai was already lurking on a hillside with a great view.

Unsurprisingly, few people are wary of offshore Pokémon like Longwing.Lai's long-winged gull mixed with other long-winged gulls that were hunting or playing, and flew over the pirates' heads without causing any unusual movement.

Not long after, the Long-winged Gull slowly flew back, and began to gesticulate towards Lebi, talking about the information he had obtained. With his strange telepathy, Lai also accurately expressed his meaning, and compared what he saw with what the Long-winged Gull discovered. Recorded on a crude map.

It has to be said that Lai is a person with no talent for painting. With just a simple map, no one can understand it except himself.

At the entrance of the cave in the distance, the strong man who was the deputy walked out quickly, walked straight to the center and largest fire, and explained something to several pirates who also looked quite strong.Soon, they split up and found the pirates scattered in the distance. These pirates did not look very burly, but were generally thin and stooped. Driven by the strong pirates, they stood up reluctantly, and some went to carry supplies. , some walked in groups of two and two towards the outside of the stronghold, and two of them were heading towards the hillside where Lai was.

Could it be that he was discovered?Len thought.It shouldn't be, maybe these people want to run away.

Thinking of this, thoughts flashed through Lai's mind.It is not advisable to attack directly to gain strength. Not to mention the strength of the opponent, there are nearly ten pirates within the sight range who can tell at a glance that they have some strength. This number alone is very difficult to deal with, unless They are frightened themselves, otherwise there is nothing they can do on their own.In addition, there are people next to them who are sallow and thin, but also have Poké Balls hanging around their waists. Although they most likely do not know how to fight, they cannot be completely ignored.

In this case, we should first deal with the two people who came over without saying a word, and then ask about the specific situation before designing a strategy.

Having made up his mind, Rai began to look for suitable locations for an ambush based on his observations along the way.Soon, he found a reverse slope, which was just in the visual blind spot on the uphill road. There were many gravels not far away, which should be broken rocks after rolling down the mountain.

With abundant resources and some mental arithmetic, Lai quickly formulated a strategy and moved his hidden position.Not long after, two pirates also came slowly.

I saw that the two pirates were not very old, about twelve or thirteen years old, one of them looked malnourished, but his eyes were piercing; the other was of medium build, but more like the former's follower .

They walked slowly, talking as they walked, and their words drifted along the wind to Lai's ears.

"This group of bullying guys know how to order newcomers." The voice came from a middle-sized boy.

"There is nothing I can do. If it weren't for my mother's illness and the exorbitant taxes, who would be willing to go to sea with this group of people? After all, there is still a pretty good settlement allowance." This is the voice of the thin boy.

"Brother Wright, we have been on the ship for three months, but these people only let us do dirty work, and even Pokémon have to be caught and cultivated by ourselves. It took me a lot of effort to subdue the long-winged gull , but now it can’t eat enough with me.” The thin boy named Wright sighed to the little brother beside him: “I told you on weekdays, work harder, you’ll be fine, do it Rest after work, if the long-winged gulls didn't catch fish to help you, you might be starving. After you settle down, let your long-winged gulls and my lobster soldiers practice duel once a day."

"Settled in? Are we leaving?"

"Stupid, didn't you see those people moving things? They were moving out of the cave. They were obviously trying to escape, but I don't know why. I think I was in danger. Remember to be smart when you look back."

As they talked, the two walked closer to Lai.

"You're right." A voice sounded in their ears.

Before the words fell, two black shadows flashed out.

The fast-swimming frog slammed Wright on the back of the neck with a knife, knocking him unconscious on the spot, and beside him, Lai quickly covered the mouth and nose of another boy, tripped and pinned him to the ground, and pressed him with one knee His torso, his other hand moved away from the boy's arm that was about to reach for the Poké Ball, and the capture was completed in just a few seconds.

Then, the fast-swimming frog took out ropes, cloth strips, etc. from Lai's backpack, tied the two of them tightly, and sealed their mouths tightly so that they could not make a sound.

Facing the two teenagers, Lai knew that the one who was awake now couldn't do anything even if he wanted to, so he simply ignored him who was constantly struggling to do something, and signaled the long-winged gull to give the unconscious Wright a "wake-up call" .The long-winged gull quickly fired a small water gun at Wright's face. Under the stimulation of the cold water, Wright quickly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, after two instinctive struggles, Wright quickly recognized the situation. When he regained his composure, his eyes rolled around and he glanced around, thinking about ways to escape.

Lai squatted down, his eyes were at the same level as Wright who was sitting on the ground, and his tone was not harsh: "I know your name is Wright, and I know that you have just come here not long ago. Let me introduce myself, I am Lai, Lai from Pall Island. I love talking to smart people, and I'm sure you're a smart guy, so you won't be yelling after I let you go, will you? After all, you're a poor guy who was robbed by pirates and pulled in forcibly Boy, am I right?"

Wright, who was sitting on the ground, quickly understood and nodded vigorously to show that he fully understood.Seeing this, Lai stood up, untied the cloth tightly tied to the young man's face, and loosened the rope that bound him. The slightly tense air surrounding the two of them seemed to relax. A step behind Te, the fast-swimming frog with slightly tense muscles and the water-jumping fish hidden behind another big rock.

After letting Wright stand up and stretch his stiff and sore neck, Len motioned for him to sit down and he picked a relatively flat stone to serve as a bench.Looking at Wright, who looked a little reserved and made a calm gesture in fear, Wright asked slowly: "I believe you know my purpose clearly. Now you have two choices. One is to tell me everything you know that will be useful." The news, cooperate with me and my companions to take down this group of pirates, so that you will be rescued and rewarded as a kidnapped victim and an outstanding citizen who helped the alliance enforce the law. Secondly, you will become my prisoner, and you will be with other people who have not been kidnapped. The prisoners who were shot on the spot will be tried together. Of course, given your age and experience, you are just an accomplice. You will only be imprisoned for a few years at most. Your lobster soldiers will be confiscated. After you are released from prison, you can return to your hometown and continue your life. The right to choose In your case, you can think seriously, but only for up to 5 minutes."
