Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

"Roar!"

With a roar, the pitch-black Charizard took off from the top floor of the Dragon Gym, followed by Hou Yong's Steelix and flew towards Liuyun Village.

"What a handsome Charizard. Pavilion Master Xia is going to go out to work on his first day at work."

"Deputy Director Hou is out too. They should be here for the case in Liuyun Village."

"Looking at Gym Leader Xia's expression, he should be planning to handle it himself and not report it to the Pokémon Association."

"They probably won't be back this afternoon. I'm going to pick up the kids after get off work."

…………

Riding on the Charizard, Xia Yu followed closely behind Hou Yong and headed towards Liuyun Village.

Liuyun Village is located on the edge of the Dragon Gym's jurisdiction. Because it is adjacent to the Liuyun Mountain Wilderness Reserve, it is often harassed by wild Pokémon, and incidents of wild Pokémon injuring people occur frequently.

However, even so, the residents of Liuyun Village not only did not move, but instead gathered in larger and larger numbers.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water.

The residents of Liuyun Village live close to the Liuyun Mountain Wilderness Reserve, so they naturally rely on wild Pokémon for survival.

These sneaky Pokémon can certainly harm the residents of Liuyun Village, but they are also a valuable asset.

After all, you need a quota to capture Pokémon in the wilderness protection area, but once those wild Pokémon slip out, you can capture them.

…………

"Master, we're here. Liuyun Village is just ahead."

Seeing that Liuyun Village was getting closer, Hou Yong commanded the Steel Armored Crow to descend, and Xia Yu followed closely behind and landed on the ground together.

"Master, this is Liuyun Village." Hou Yong's voice sounded, and as he walked towards the village, he said, "I'll take you to the site to have a look."

As the two walked towards the crime scene, Hou Yong introduced the case to Xia Yu: "There are two dead people. One of them is named Wang Fulai, a local, 46 years old. He has two elderly people at home, a wife and two children, a total of six people."

"All the elderly in his family live in the city, and his wife is studying in the city with their children. Only Wang Fulai and his friends live here."

"His friend is called Wang Wenhao, he is 24 years old and is also from Liuyun Village. The two of them are partners, catching Pokémon together."

Xia Yu frowned and followed Hou Yong closely, walking through the path along the ridge of the field towards Wang Fulai's home, one step deep and one step shallow.

"This Wang Fulai is a trainer, but his strength is not that great, only around the lord level. He usually makes a living by catching some wild Pokémon nearby."

"The other Wang Wenhao's strength is not that good either, he is also only around the lord level, otherwise the two of them wouldn't be able to get together."

"We checked the scene. Wang Fulai, Wang Wenhao and their Pokémon were killed without any resistance."

"Almost all of them had their throats bitten and most of their bodies eaten."

"From the bite marks and claw marks left at the scene, it is very consistent with a Pokémon like Panther. In addition, there are a lot of traces of evil energy left at the scene, so we speculate that it should be a Pokémon like Panther."

Cool Leopard...

If Xia Yu knew nothing about solving cases, then when it came to Pokémon, he could definitely be considered a professional.

Cool Leopard is classified as a cool-type Pokémon, with an evil attribute and is a social Pokémon.

Although it looks handsome, with beautiful fur and body, it is actually a capricious and violent Pokémon.

The cool leopard hides during the day and comes out at night. It likes to play with its prey. It often hides its breath, lowers its feet to launch a surprise attack on its prey, and kills it with one blow by biting its throat. Its ability in frontal combat is actually not very strong.

…………

As they talked, the two soon arrived near the crime scene.

At this time, there were still a lot of people surrounding the crime scene, standing on tiptoe and looking curiously into Wang Fulai's house.

"Fu Lai...Oh, it's really too tragic. You didn't see that it was beyond recognition and the blood was splattered all over the floor. It's really terrible."

"Oh, Fulai, this honest man is so miserable. He died at a young age. He has two elderly people at home, his wife has no job, and he has two children to raise. I don't know how he will survive!"

"If you walk along the river frequently, you will get your feet wet. People in their line of work, dealing with wild Pokémon for a long time, will inevitably fail."

…………

"Make way!" Hou Yong yelled at the top of his voice, and the spectators surrounding the scene moved their feet and made way.

"Heh. This guy is Xia Yu, the new Dragon Gym Leader. He's really handsome."

"I've seen his games on TV. It must be him. He looks even better than on TV."

"Too young, do you think this person can do it?"

"Apart from anything else, his strength is definitely beyond doubt. Did you watch the game a few days ago? He beat Zhao Zhigang 6-0 and shaved his head."

…………

The villagers around did not shy away from talking and just stared at Xia Yu and talked in a low voice.

Xia Yu followed closely behind Hou Yong and walked through the crowd to the crime scene.

Several Dragon Gym staff members who were guarding the scene saw Hou Yong appear and immediately walked over.

"Hou Guan... Deputy Guanzhu." Just as the word Guanzhu was about to come out of his mouth, he held it back after seeing Xia Yu behind Hou Yong.

"Master Xia."

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded, not caring about the details, and walked up.

The crime scene was just as Hou Yong said, it could only be described as "brutal".

Most of the bodies of Wang Fulai, Wang Wenhao and their Pokémon were eaten.

In the hot summer, the body was rotting quickly and a foul stench was emanating from it, with flies flying around.

Xia Yu frowned as he watched this scene, and whispered to Hou Yong beside him, "Can you find the trace of Kubao?"

"Okay." Hou Yong nodded. "We have submitted an application to the Pokémon Association and the approval has come. We can go to the Liuyun Mountain Wilderness Reserve to capture the Cool Leopard. This is Huang Weijie, Xiao Huang, who is responsible for searching for Pokémon traces. He graduated from a prestigious university. He is a professional in tracking Pokémon traces."

Listening to Hou Yong's introduction, Xia Yu's eyes fell on Huang Weijie and nodded slightly: "Can you find the trace of Kubao?"

"Sure!" Huang Weijie looked at the overly young Xia Yu and whispered, "My Wind Speed ​​Dog has memorized their smells. I'm 90% sure I can find the traces of the Cool Leopard."

"Oh? Pokémon like Cool Leopard are very good at hiding their breath. Are you sure?" Xia Yu looked at Huang Weijie and asked.

"If it's an ordinary Arcanine it definitely won't work. My Arcanine has been specially trained, and with the help of the Fox Thief, it should be able to find it." Huang Weijie replied in a low voice.

"Okay then, let's go, you lead the way."

…………

It's Monday and I don't want to go to work. Someone please save me.
