Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

Sunday, afternoon.

The weather in the imperial capital changes quickly. It was sunny in the morning, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds at noon, and it started to rain heavily. At this time, in the suburbs outside the imperial capital, this was already the most remote area of ​​the imperial capital. There was water everywhere on the bumpy ground.

"Pah." The black boots stepped into the puddle, splashing water. A silver dragon streaked across the sky, and lightning roared.

Men and women in black raincoats walked through the old buildings around them, entered the narrow alley, and came to an old courtyard that looked a bit shabby.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom"

Two long and two short plus three rapid knocks on the door sounded like a secret code, and soon there was a sound of unlocking the iron door, and the door slowly opened.

The two walked in and locked the door.

The two people who walked into the house took off their raincoats, revealing their original faces. If Xia Yu was present, he would definitely recognize that the man among them was Xu Xiu who appeared in the secret realm more than a month ago.

No one expected that Xu Xiu, who was already wanted, would come to the imperial capital quietly without anyone noticing.

The woman next to her was about 27 or 28 years old, with delicate makeup on her face and bright red lips, which was stunning at first sight.

"No one discovered me, did you?" A middle-aged man's voice came from inside the house. The dim light made it impossible to see his face clearly.

Xu Xiu shook his head, casually sat on a chair nearby and said, "I asked Zoroark to pretend to be me and stay in the southwest region. He would show up from time to time and fool those investigators. No one knew I was here."

Another woman also spoke at this time. Her voice sounded a little strange, not like that of a Chinese. She said in broken Chinese: "Don't worry, no one knows that I'm in China."

"I have good news for you. The reward is on the way. You should have received the news. According to the forecast, it will arrive at the designated location tomorrow at the latest. The security force is not strong. You only need to launch an attack to snatch the things. Remember not to let anyone come back." The middle-aged man seemed to be talking about something insignificant. He paused and continued: "After talking about the reward, let's talk about our mission requirements."

"I need you to find something." The middle-aged man's hoarse voice came: "We don't know the exact location of that thing, but we can find someone who knows about it. This is a list of people. The people on the list may have come into contact with that thing. You need to check it yourself."

The middle-aged man seemed to have remembered something and hurriedly reminded them: "Also, the imperial capital is not like other places. You'd better not act recklessly. If you really need to do it, remember to handle the beginning and the end."

"I know." Xu Xiu replied.

Looking at the thick list of names, Xu Xiu and the other woman frowned slightly: "This is not an easy task. There are at least hundreds of people on the list."

"So I paid you a lot, and it was such a high amount. We were also under a lot of pressure." The middle-aged man stared at Xu Xiu and the woman and said, "The risk we took was not small either."

"We will need at least one month, and no more than three months." The woman said, "We accept the mission."

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

The sudden rainstorm interrupted Xia Yu's training plan, forcing him to change from outdoor training to indoor training. He trained until about five in the afternoon. Just as Xia Yu was about to finish today's training and go home, he heard Long Yanning's phone ringing.

"Hello." Long Yanning stood by the window and answered the phone with a serious expression: "I'm Long Yanning."

"Are you sure?" Long Yanning looked flustered, and then in a trance, she said in disbelief, "When did it happen? I'll go right away."

It is not difficult to tell from Long Yanning's expression that something extremely important must have happened, otherwise her face would not be so ugly.

"Xia Yu, just stay in the laboratory and don't go anywhere." Long Yanning solemnly instructed Xia Yu, then quickly took the raincoat, released the sonic dragon, jumped up, and disappeared into the rainy night.

"Drip."

At the same time, Xia Yu's phone rang. It was Lin Lao who called: "Xiao Yu?"

"Grandpa." Xia Yu responded.

"You stay in the laboratory first. Someone will come to pick you up later. Come home first." Mr. Lin's voice was serious, with a hint of undignified tone.

"Did something happen?" Xia Yu asked cautiously. From Long Yan Ning's reaction just now and Xia Yu's phone call, people realized that something big seemed to have happened in the imperial capital.

"Come back first and talk later. It's hard to explain over the phone."

…………

When they got home, Old Lady Qin immediately came up to them, holding Xia Yu's hand affectionately, with worry in her eyes.

"Grandma, what happened to grandpa?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask.

"You should watch the news first." Mr. Lin said nothing, but just gestured to Xia Yu to watch the news on TV.

"Yesterday, a terrifying ghost incident occurred again in Ping'an District of the imperial capital, resulting in the death of three people. Please pay attention to your own safety and do not go out unless necessary at night."

Xia Yu frowned as he watched the news on TV. He remembered that a similar news was broadcast on TV a few days ago. At that time, it was suspected that ghost-type Pokémon were causing trouble, and psychic, evil, and ghost-type masters had been sent to investigate the matter.

It's still not resolved? Three people are dead?

But the death of three people wouldn't make Long Yanning so panicked.

As if he could see his grandson's confusion, Elder Lin slowly said, "Among the three people who died, one was a student in the Dragon Secret Realm training class, and the other two were a bodyguard and a driver. They left home after lunch today, preparing to go to the Dragon Secret Realm, but they all disappeared on the way, and it was only an hour ago that someone found the missing vehicle and three bodies and reported it to the police."

So that's why. No wonder Long Yan Ning showed such an expression. As the head teacher of the training class, she had a certain responsibility when her students were killed on the way to the secret realm.

"Does this incident have any impact on the Long family?" Xia Yu asked.

"Of course there is." Elder Lin said without hesitation: "That person must have a powerful family to be able to attend the training class, but as long as Long Fan is still here, it won't have much impact on the Long family. It's just that the girl Long Yan Ning may be affected a little."

Xia Yu nodded and continued to ask: "Grandpa, have the police found any clues?"

Elder Lin shook his head. "The specific situation has not been announced yet, but it is said that the scene was extremely horrific, with obvious signs of fighting. Several Pokémon were chopped into pieces, and three human corpses were sucked dry. It should be the work of some extremely evil Pokémon, but I don't know if it was controlled by humans."

At this point, Elder Lin also warned: "Recently, the training class has also been suspended. You should train at home. Don't go out unless necessary."

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded. In such a dangerous situation, he would definitely not be stupid enough to go out. It was also a good opportunity for him to use these few days to write his thesis.
