EBE Chapter 553: Mengge Cactus' Request
Chapter 553: Mengge Cactus' Request
October 10rd afternoon, Alola region.
The purple-haired girl sat in front of an exquisite round table, her chin supported by her left hand, while her right hand plucked the flower petals out of boredom.
"He will show up."
……
"He won't show up."
……
"He will show up."
……
"He won't show up."
……
The beautiful rose petals fell to the ground one by one, making the ground around the girl messy, just like her confused and irritable mood.
The girl who was killing time was none other than An Qi. Mr. Yi asked someone to send her 999 roses, hoping that the girl could relax in the fragrance of flowers and enjoy the last peaceful time before the war.
However, An Qi was not interested in this at all. She only cared whether the shining detective boy would come to stop her.
That might be their last chance to meet. If Lu Yi failed to prepare in advance, once the plan succeeded... An Qi didn't dare to think too much.
Recently, An Qi's heart has been in turmoil. She often has very radical ideas, including imagining the scene where Lu Yi appears: she abandons everything, bravely stands by his side, and fights against the end of the world together.
The reason why she gradually ignored Mr. Yi was because her friendship level was on the verge of dropping below "50%", and she was no longer recognized as a "close partner" by Mr. Yi's system.
The reason was that Lu Yi's past heroic performances were replayed in Anqi's mind over and over again. Now that the boy had awakened the power of justice, his influence on Anqi's spirit became even stronger.
In other words, An Qi, who was originally deeply brainwashed and had accumulated a very high level of friendliness, was actually infected by Lu Yi's power of justice repeatedly every day under the catalysis of "lovesickness", forming an individual closed loop.
This is the real reason why her friendliness is decreasing.
"He will show up."
"He won't show up."
……
The chubby Gengar sat on the bedside table and did not stop Angie's behavior.
Although it has a friendliness level of over 90% towards Mr. Yi, as long as An Qi is happy, it doesn't care where its blade points.
Even if he has to bear the infamy from now on and be labeled as "unfilial", "unfaithful" and "unrighteous" to his adoptive father, Geng Gui is not afraid at all!
Because a true [partner] Pokémon will always put the trainer first! There is no emotion in the world that can surpass the friendship and bond between it and Angie!
Angel is everything in Gengar's life. Even if Mr. Yi's grand ambition is to change the world, Gengar is still willing to support her every choice!
Even if it means being an enemy of the [New World]!
……
On the morning of October 10th, at the Kanto Regional Alliance Headquarters.
Yinchuan, Lei and Guangzhi were waiting in the lobby on the first floor. Lu Yi was discussing something with Miss Junsha in secret. It was said that if the deal was settled, the three of them could go back to Honglian Island directly.
"..."
"What did you say!? Is this true??"
Miss Junsha stood up excitedly, supported herself on the table with both hands, and looked at Lu Yi in disbelief.
A little head popped out of the latter's pocket, then climbed onto his shoulder and greeted Junsha.
"YO! Hello, Miss Junsha."
"What Lu Yi said is the truth. I have already promised him."
The moment she saw the little pink, although Junsha had never seen the color of this core, she recognized it as Zygarde at a glance.
"Great! On behalf of the entire police force, thank you for your help!"
Junsha was so happy that her mind was filled with the news that Dalin had a chance to be resurrected.
She asked anxiously, "When will there be any progress on this matter?"
"Then there's no way to estimate it." Xiaofen curled her lips helplessly.
"However, all of our cores and cells have the ability to share information. The moment I agreed to Lu Yi, Z1, who is based in Kalos, automatically acquired this memory. Whenever it is free, it will definitely help find Xerneas.
But I want to say this in advance. Although the Kalos region is the area where the God of Life appears most frequently, it does not mean that it lives there forever. The God of Life blesses all living things and treats all living things equally, so most of the time he should be traveling around the world.
Even I can’t guarantee that I’ll find it.”
After Xiaofen finished speaking, Miss Junsha immediately expressed her opinion: "It doesn't matter, at least you have given us great hope!"
This sentence is exactly the same as Lu Yi's previous statement. Xiaofen is sure in her heart that Dalin is indeed very important to her and Lu Yi.
"So what are you going to do with the Dreamsong cactus?"
"Simple." Miss Junsha showed a very experienced expression.
"We can have it cooperate with us in 'faking its own death' once, and the police can take some photos as evidence, and then classify it as a 'suicide out of fear of crime' or 'self-production and self-sale' type of case.
In this way, all procedures can be carried out according to the normal process. Including the final handling of the body, Mengge Cactus has no relatives, there is no loophole for the body to be claimed, the police force can perfectly close the case and finally make the whole incident public. "
"It sounds like a feasible plan." Xiaofen said thoughtfully.
"But, will this approach cause you trouble? I heard that perjury is a serious offense, especially for public officials like you."
"That depends on the specific type, purpose, and background of the perjury." Miss Junsha smiled.
"In fact, in the police force, this kind of trick is widely used. From the privacy protection of special talents to the secret transfer of legendary Pokémon, you have to prepare a convincing story first and then slowly operate it."
"Isn't there a saying called 'white lie'? As long as the lie is not for personal gain and is beneficial to society and the general public, then the rules and regulations can be changed."
Junsha said this and looked at Xiaofen seriously.
"But we have to make three rules. You must keep a close eye on the Dream Song Cactus and never let it develop the wrong idea that 'it doesn't matter if it makes a mistake'. If you find it showing signs of being impulsive and angry later, you must nip it in the bud."
"No problem, this is necessary." Xiaofen nodded.
"That's settled for now." Miss Junsha said cheerfully, "Lu Yi, send Zygarde back. I'll call my sister now, and she will take care of the follow-up procedures."
"Okay." Lu Yi stood up and replied.
……
Hoenn region, northern desert.
On the evening of October 10, after taking photos and collecting evidence, the police team members left the mountainous area under the leadership of Miss Junsha. Mengge Cactus wore a locator on his wrist and knelt down in front of Lu Yi excitedly, burying his head deeply.
This was not because it was grateful for its new life, because the heart of the Mengge Cactus had long been dead, and it had no complaints about how the police force dealt with it.
The reason why it was kneeling in front of Lu Yi at this moment was that it wanted to ask Lu Yi for something.
——Search for A-Pu’s body.
"What are you doing? Get up!"
Lu Yi reached out to lift up the Mengge cactus and suddenly felt a sharp pain. He thought to himself that it was no wonder that it never dared to hug A Pu.
"I understand your request, and I will do my best. However, A Pu was determined to die and didn't want to leave you any trouble, so the place he finally chose must be difficult to find.
Besides, as the one who knows him best, even you can't figure out where he went. Even if I try my best, it's just a gamble."
Hearing what Lu Yi said, Mengge Cactus's head sank and he wanted to kneel down again, but was quickly supported by the former.
"No, no, no, don't do this! Didn't I already promise you?"
Lu Yi could see that the Mengge Cactus had recognized him, and it seemed to really think that it could find A Pu!
"I'll go now! Okay?"
Lu Yi had no choice but to leave immediately.
However, he specifically asked Xiaofen to help him save face.
"A Pu probably committed suicide by drinking pesticides, so he definitely couldn't bury himself. And, judging from the fact that he didn't want to cause trouble for you, he must be a very respectable person. So, I don't think he would leave his body lying in the wild, which means he probably wouldn't die in the mountains."
"Xiaofen, do me a favor later and mobilize the large-jawed ants in the desert to conduct a search from under the sand along the foot of the northern mountain area."
"I just don't believe that he, a grown man with luggage and such a big target, can disappear from this world!?"
