Chapter 364: King Of The Sword

Chapter 364: Chapter 364: King Of The Sword

Not only did their training become more intense, even when facing challengers, they performed with exceptional bravery.

They almost made one challenger cry.

Julian had to speak kindly and encourage the challenger before the challenger regained confidence and decided to raise his Pokémon properly before coming back to challenge.

After two days like this, everyone more or less returned to normal.

Julian posted a notice on the official website, stating that at the invitation of his friend Cynthia, he would be going to watch the Elite Four ranking battles.

Recently, not many people on the Trainer forum were boasting about the golden touch.

Julian guessed that the trend had faded and everyone was chasing some new craze.

Without Trainers making wild claims, Veilstone Gym could finally receive challengers normally from now on.

Kai felt that the Pokémon involved in the Elite Four ranking battles were too advanced.

He would not understand them at his current level. When building a foundation, one should not aim too high. Rather than watching the matches, it was better to focus on training his Pokémon, so he stayed behind to watch the Gym.

Kai had his own thoughts, and as his master, Julian naturally had to support him.

Watching matches was meant to strengthen one’s determination to endure hard training.

Kai’s dedication to training was already at it’s peak, so he truly did not need the Elite Four ranking battles to motivate him.

That afternoon, after sending off a challenger, Julian received a call from Nurse Joy.

"Julian, a group of poachers attacked the leek base to the southwest. They not only captured the wild Farfetch’d living there..."

"They also harvested the mature leeks. According to fragments overheard by the botanists, it seems someone bought Farfetch’d as food!"

"I’ve already contacted Officer Jenny, but the botanists hope to ask you for help. They’re willing to pay five hundred thousand to recover the Farfetch’d and the leeks."

"According to the information Officer Jenny received, this group is fleeing south. They probably plan to escape onto the sea and shake off Officer Jenny’s pursuit."

Julian was also a customer of the leek base, so he agreed decisively.

"No problem!"

Those bastards had stolen Farfetch’d and leeks.

They had to pay the price.

Sirfetch’d heard the news from the side, and for the first time, his expression turned furious.

"Sirfetch’d!"

Although he was a Sirfetch’d evolved from a Galarian Farfetch’d, he could still empathise with what had happened to the Farfetch’d.

This is unforgivable!

Julian recalled Sirfetch’d, Gengar, Kommo-o, Toxicroak, Blaziken, and Gallade.

Then he mounted Miraidon.

"Nurse Joy, please tell me where I should intercept these poachers."

"My Miraidon is very fast. We can definitely make it in time."

After calculating, Nurse Joy sent a coordinate to Julian’s phone.

"They’re driving along the small roads to escape. To avoid Officer Jenny along the route, they can only take the mountain road. This location is somewhere they must pass."

"With Miraidon’s speed, you should be able to intercept them there."

Julian nodded.

"I’m setting off now. If the poachers change routes, please call and inform me, Nurse Joy."

Miraidon flew into the sky and chased the poachers at full speed.

Miraidon flew at top speed for over three hours before finally reaching the location Nurse Joy had marked.

The poachers had not changed routes either. Their vehicle appeared on the mountain road.

Seeing someone blocking the road, the poachers’ jeep chose to accelerate.

Julian spoke directly.

"Miraidon, Dragon Pulse!"

A Dragon Pulse struck the mountain road in front of the jeep and blasted open a large pit.

The jeep hurriedly stopped. Three poachers got out and immediately threw Poké Balls.

They sent out Pokémon such as Golbat, Mightyena, and Beedrill.

Sirfetch’d jumped out of his Poké Ball on his own, raised his long leek sword, gathered golden light, and charged towards the group of Pokémon.

Meteor Assault!

In his fury, Sirfetch’d’s Meteor Assault had actually doubled in power!

The usually emotionally stable Sirfetch’d felt anger for the first time because of the poachers’ actions.

That anger had an enormous effect on Sirfetch’d’s Meteor Assault.

At this moment, Sirfetch’d seemed like the legendary King of the Sword.

With one thrust, all eight Pokémon sent out by the three poachers lost the ability to battle.

When Sirfetch’d pointed his long leek sword at them, the three poachers immediately raised their hands and shouted in terror.

"We surrender! We surrender!"

Julian went over to check.

The rear compartment of the jeep was covered with black cloth, but it only contained a load of leeks.

There was not a single Farfetch’d.

Julian directly reached out, grabbed one poacher by the collar, and lifted him up.

"Where are the Farfetch’d?"

The poacher hurriedly said, "The boss’s vehicle is carrying the eight Farfetch’d. They went west into Mt. Coronet to avoid Officer Jenny’s pursuit."

"We were carrying the leeks and fleeing south towards the sea as a distraction. We deliberately exposed our tracks from time to time. If Officer Jenny chased us, we’d abandon the leeks and run."

They had never expected Julian’s Sirfetch’d to be this powerful, directly defeating all of their Pokémon.

If this Farfetch’d holding that strange leek could be caught and sold, it would definitely be worth a lot of money. ℯ

Sensing the poacher’s malice, Sirfetch’d pointed his long leek sword at him.

Julian was even faster than Sirfetch’d. He directly struck the back of the poacher’s neck with a knife-hand.

The three poachers’ bodies went limp, and they fainted.

Julian took out rope and tied all three of them up tightly together.

Then he called Nurse Joy and explained the situation he had learned.

Nurse Joy was shocked.

"What? They actually split into two teams? They deliberately left footage at the base to mislead us!"

"I’ll immediately have people investigate whether there was a similar jeep heading west."

Julian raised his head.

"It’s getting dark. If we try to pursue the poachers now, it probably won’t be that easy."

Nurse Joy quickly reported back.

"Julian, no one along the route saw a similar jeep pass by. We received the information too late."

A sudden idea flashed through Julian’s mind.

"No, they may not have run at all! Those three stupid poachers were deliberately fed false information."

"Not only could they divert attention, if those three were caught, we’d learn from them that the other team had fled west and be tricked a second time."

"Nurse Joy, continue investigating the west side. I’ll go check near the leek growing base."

Julian mounted Miraidon and returned through the night.

Julian released Aura and sensed the surrounding life forms.

As expected, he found eight Farfetch’d trapped in a cage.

"Miraidon, this way!"

In a small forest, a jeep was hidden extremely well beneath green cloth, grass, and branches.

Miraidon landed near the jeep.

A gloomy-looking man walked out, with a Drapion painted green following beside him.

"May I ask how you found this place?"

Sirfetch’d once again jumped out of his Poké Ball, pointing his long leek sword at Drapion.

"I can’t be bothered to explain. You’re not worthy of hearing it. Sirfetch’d, Meteor Assault!"

The gloomy man waved his hand.

"Drapion, Cross Poison!"

Drapion’s claws condensed purple poison and struck fiercely towards Sirfetch’d.

Carrying his fury, Sirfetch’d thrust his long leek sword forward.

Sirfetch’d transformed into a golden meteor, knocking aside Drapion’s powerful arm. His leek sword struck Drapion’s body.

Drapion was directly sent flying!

"Drapion!"

The gloomy man could not believe it.

His carefully raised Drapion could not even withstand one move.
