Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 20 Pirates and Islanders

The winter wind blew across the beach, the gravel rolled, and the waves crashed onto the rocks.

Lai, wrapped in bandages one after another, sat on the ground without any posture, with a weak long-winged gull lying on his lap.

In the distance, Swampert was walking towards him with an arm full of Poké Balls in his arms.

The two pirates had stopped breathing. The heavy blow from the gem starfish did not kill them on the spot, and the severe internal bleeding left them no chance of saving. It must be said that this was Soujiro's bad taste.

However, at this time, the circumstances of the perpetrators were not far from theirs.

······
With a loud noise, the green mantis flew out like a bullet, flying away with Soujiro's last hope.

With just one blow, the Swamp Jumper defeated the Flying Mantis and shattered Soujiro's entire will to resist.It seemed that even his spine no longer existed, and the head he tried to raise fell naturally, hitting the beach with a "bang", but Soujiro seemed to have no pain and his face was expressionless.

Without a second glance, Swampert ran towards Lai's backpack, which fell far away during the battle, and hugged Lai's side.The enemy was dealt with, and the tight heartstrings were relaxed. Pain and blood loss made Lai's face pale.

But he did not immediately look for hemostatic medicine. Instead, he used his good right hand to take out the Poke Ball, first retracted the long-winged gull, then retracted the fast-swimming frog in the distance and released it to his side, and took out the fast-swimming frog from the sandwich of his clothes. Give it a special medicine for swimming frogs.

Seeing the fast swimming frog's breathing gradually calming down and letting out his last breath, he couldn't hold on anymore and lay down on the ground.

The Swamp Leap Fish first took out the bandage and hemostatic medicine and handed them to Lai. Then he found the box himself, took out the energy cube and stuffed it into his stomach. After recovering for a while, he started to lift the bottle of hemostatic medicine and spray it from top to bottom under Lai's command. .

"Hiss—" Even though his willpower was far superior to that of ordinary people, Lai felt unbearable in the face of such pain.After the long and painful debridement and application of medicine, there were more sweat beads on Lai's face than in a battle, and his whole body felt like he had been fished out of water.

With the help of Marsh Leaping Fish, Lai wrapped himself with a medical bandage clumsily. The long and narrow wound ran through the entire arm, and the contact between the bandage and the wound caused great pain.However, the most deadly bleeding was relieved under the action of the powerful medicine, only a few blood beads leaked from the bandage.

The massive blood loss drained Lai's strength, but he still couldn't rest because the danger was not over yet.Reluctantly standing up with the support of his intact right hand, Rai began to explore the opponent's situation one by one, recover their Poké Balls, recover the incompetent Pokémon on the ground and lock them up to avoid the final risk.

During this process, Soujiro remained silent and motionless. Even when the Bogwap took the Poké Ball from his waist, he was indifferent and did not even make a symbolic struggle.

······
Outskirts of the North Shore.

A spiny-tailed insect stood on Zhou Zuo's shoulder, and it had just delivered its poisonous sting, reversing the situation. All Zhou Zuo's words and actions were to cover for it hiding in his sleeves.He was already on guard, and when Maya handed over the glass of water before leaving, he was alert and secretly on guard.

Except for Aces, who invest a lot of time, energy and emotion, pirate Pokémon rarely have a close relationship with their owners. Killing the trainer often means the end of the battle. At least the Pokémon in the Poké Ball have almost no initiative. A situation pops up for revenge.

Even for some pirates, except for necessary battles, they will lock their Pokémon in a Poké Ball just in case.The pirate that Rai first killed fell into this category.

Therefore, after counter-killing Maya, Shusaku commanded his Pokémon to quickly eliminate the Goldfish King, who had no master to command and was so furious that he lost his mind.

"These money and resources belong to me. Once the money is laundered in the south, we will wash our hands. Who will want to be a pirate? Isn't it good to live a comfortable life?" Zhou Zuo was in a good mood and hummed an unknown song. A little tune at sea, he turned back to check the gold and silver on his back, then lowered his head and talked with the great hero Spinytail.

But when he raised his head, his wild tone suddenly stopped.

A tyrannosaurus carrying several trainers quickly attacked; in the sky, supersonic bats, long-winged gulls, and large-billed gulls formed a formation; in the distance, a large ship gradually appeared from the horizon.

Zhou Zuo opened his mouth wide, with despair written on his face. "Didn't we already attack the island? What the hell is this?!"

······
Eastern coast.

The team in Wudou Town was on alert, alternately covering the island, but found that there was no expected enemy attack at all.A little further forward, I saw the senior pirates who were later sent to guard by Zhou Zuo, but escaped with large and small packages on their backs.

The two sides met face to face, and then the battle that could not be called a battle ended quickly.

······
Central island.

The Parr Island Guards and the Armed Forces Town reinforcements, who had successfully reunited, gathered the pirate laborers who were running around like headless flies, and divided some of their manpower, patrolling in pairs with loudspeakers to let the pirate laborers hiding on the island Wait for the others to get to the center of the island as quickly as possible.

At the entrance of the cave, Yongren frowned slightly and discussed in a low voice with the person in charge of Wudou Town.

"We have a young man on Pal Island who landed alone from another direction. The original plan was for him to cause trouble during our attack and relieve us some pressure. But now everything is in chaos and the pirates can run away. , dispersed, scattered, internal fighting, but our people are also missing.”

"Brother Yongren, don't be anxious. Let's look for it slowly and we will find it eventually."

At this time, Merck rushed over, bringing an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with him.

"Captain Brave, something has been discovered! This young man has information to report, about Rai. There are two corpses and several Pokémon that have lost their combat effectiveness in the ravine. The Pokémon have been recovered and recovered."

Yongto interrupted Merck's report, "To get to the point, where did Rai go?!"

The boy took a step forward: "Hello, Captain Brave, I'm Wright, what's the situation with Brother Lai?"

······
"Finished me, as they did."

Soujiro broke the solemn silence on the beach.

Len replied calmly: "The battle is over. I don't need to take your life. You are my prisoner." Then, he continued to apply medicine and check the injured Pokémon partner, and the simple golden finger was at this time It worked again.

Perhaps this calmness irritated Soujiro on the ground: "Yeah, it's the hypocritical nobility of your alliance dogs again, especially you, with such a high background, still doing everything you can on the battlefield, and pretending to be compassionate after the end, you Don’t you feel like you’re fake?”

Faced with such a rhetorical question, Lai was too lazy to pester him at first, but he still felt a little strange that similar words appeared repeatedly throughout the day, so he simply sat up straight and explained:

"Whether it is noble or not, hypocritical or not, it does not matter. However, I do not have a noble background. It is my freedom to choose what kind of fighting method I choose, and it is also my freedom to choose how to deal with my prisoners after the battle. "

"Your freedom is really the most expensive thing in the world. So what do you want to do now, admire the ugliness of your opponent from above? You and I are here now, why are you wearing your hypocritical mask? "

"Sojiro, I don't know where your hostility comes from, but I don't have any so-called hypocritical mask. I am the real me now, and I am the real me in battle. People are complex and diverse. However, I'm curious, your hostility seems not to be directed at me, but at the Alliance, and you are not an isolated case."

After a short pause, Lai tried to understand the composition of Soujiro's ridicule and hostility: "No accident, our people will arrive soon. During this last time, the well-informed Soujiro from Zhanlan City , can you help me, who was born on a small island, to clarify my doubts?”
