[Pokemon] Page of today's illustrated book

The three of them looked at each other in dismay - Aikawa's hand to push the door froze in mid-air, and the door he pushed hard hit the door frame and bounced back with a loud noise.

"What are you making a fuss about, keep your voice down!"

However, at this moment, a call came from the research room, with a slightly dissatisfied tone—the colleagues inside obviously didn't know that Aikawa was currently in an embarrassing situation.

After hearing such a shout, Aikawa hurriedly closed the door.

"I...well, I probably mistook the stone, sorry...I'll go back to work right away!"

Seeing the flustered appearance of the researcher in front of him, Yuuki kindly opened his mouth to help him: "Actually, you are not mistaken, this stone is indeed what Ibuki wanted."

——Although the starting point is good, whether it achieves the effect is another matter.

Aikawa was stunned for half a second, then showed an even more shocked expression, his eyes swept over the two of them.Yuuki felt that he seemed to be able to understand his unabashed rants—what kind of person is he who can sit with Mr. Dago!Also, who can instruct Mr. Dawu to run errands for him, who is Ibuki Jiwang? !

"...No, Mr. Dago is just giving face to this stone." But after saying this, Yuuki became even more curious - what kind of fossils can be so attractive to Mr. Dago?

"You can't say that," Dawu replied with a smile, probably because he was in a good mood after watching a good show, "For Fangyuan, there have been no records of fossils unearthed on land for many years. People suspect that most of Fangyuan's area was once Covered by the ocean, but with no evidence for that, to have a fossil unearthed on land today is extraordinary."

"Actually, it's not 'unearthed' at all..." Aikawa who was standing aside murmured, "Ibuki hoped that she knocked the fossils off the stone with brute force!"

"—By the way," Dawu smiled, and turned to look at Aikawa, "If you were there when this fossil was excavated, could you tell me about the specific situation at that time?"

Then the situation at that time... in Aikawa's eyes, what was it like?

They followed Yibuki to find the Phantom Tower, followed Yibuki to the top floor, and the tower began to shake violently, so Yibuki took the risk of taking down the fossils, and then the tower collapsed.The next Nianli puppet raid, Ibuki seemed to be able to cope with it, but then, she was hijacked by a member of the water fleet who seemed to be very strong.

"Water Fleet? Hijacking?" Dawu's face changed slightly - he had indeed heard of the name, but with the average strength of the members of the organization he knew, he might not be able to hijack Ibuki.So he turned to Yuuki.

"Did they go to Meteor Falls after that?"

Yuuki nodded: "Looking at the time, it seems to be so. But I just witnessed the battle between Ibuki-senpai and that person—senpai seems to have to rely on the terrain to gain an advantage, and the opponent obviously has a backhand."

Dawu frowned and nodded.

Several coincidences are connected together, in fact, he really wants to doubt the relationship between Ibuki and the member of the water fleet—according to the general thinking, it should be so.But because the person involved this time is Ibuki Yamō, considering Ibuki's upright family background, Dawu still hesitated a little.So he turned to Aikawa again.

"Tell me, what kind of impression did Ibuki's behavior leave on you this time when you acted together?"

"First of all, it's from Oda Scroll Research. I used to think that there were researchers who acted like forest rangers—no, to be precise, they are all like this, right?" Aikawa rubbed his chin, his expression seemed to be full of With lingering fears in his heart, "Such mobility, and such a wild way of doing things... Ah, after all, they are not the same people as us, right?"

——Ibuki made a knife with one hand and pointed down.Following her order, Elledo easily smashed a stone blocking the way.

"Aren't you..." She turned around and looked at Manzhu behind her speechlessly, "You dare to lead someone into the cave without even preparing the most basic rock breaking skills?"

Manzhu spread her hands innocently.

"It was cleared up when I came last time, who knows that stones will be piled up again soon."

Yibuki was silent—not to mention, it is really possible that this is the stone knocked out by Dr. Solance recently.

"Forget it... you can continue to lead the way."

"A large amount of knowledge, rich experience, careful observation, and...well, how should I put it?" Aikawa frowned, as if trying to find a suitable description, "Ibuki seems to be quite good. His intuition—putting it in the ruins is like a living detector! ... It doesn’t matter if it detects good things or troublesome things.”

"—Run, run! Don't look back!"

Yibuki slapped Manzhu on the back who was still in a daze, and dragged her away without hesitation.

"...It's just a big-mouthed bat, why are you running!" Manzhu realized after two steps, and twisted her wrist to break free.

"Don't be stupid - double the number of super-sonic bats is enough to cause headaches, let alone a large-mouthed bat of this magnitude!" Yibui turned his head and gave her a look, and the hand holding Manzhu's wrist did not loosen at all. , "If you haven't experienced it, just imagine the scene where such a group of big-mouthed bats use ultrasound on you together-I don't want to experience it again."

"What nonsense, you're not the only one!" Yibui felt Manzhu's wrist twist violently, and he wrenched it out of his hand, turning his head in shock—just in time to see Manzhu throwing a poke ball out , "Slime Mellon, Blizzard!"

Nianmeilulong let out a long roar, and spewed out a blast of cold air with a wide range, which almost enveloped all the big-mouthed bats that were chasing after the two of them.

—but only almost.

The power and coverage of the blizzard are very large, and it is a good player to hit a fixed target while standing upright. However, the hit rate when shooting a live target is pitifully low-there are still many big-mouthed bats that can attack in time. Dodging the blow, he opened his mouth, and attacked the two with vibrating wings.

Manzhu only felt dizzy for a while - she didn't hear any sound, but her head was shaking like it was going to explode with blood.

"Shouldn't you show off the hit rate with this level of shame?" At this moment, Yibui's angry and annoyed voice came from behind Manzhu, "—Desert dragonfly, rock avalanche!"

……

"Hey, this," Manzhu stepped forward, reached out and knocked on the stone pile in the middle of the road that fell due to the rock avalanche skill, "Have you considered the consequences before using the skill?"

"Of course." Ibuki replied calmly.She put away the desert dragonfly, and took out Elledo's elf ball again: "But the other choice is the dragon star group."

"..."

"Scratch the ground three feet! Feng Wang has plucked his hair!" Ai Chuan stomped his feet angrily, "That guy will take anything of value!"

——Manzhu pointed to an unattractive stone in his hand, and held it up in front of Yibuki with a heartbroken look.

"This is a meteorite - a meteorite! What a precious thing, you told me you don't want it?!"

"What do I want it to do." Yibui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How many times have I told you that I don't do research in this area at all. Even if it is really a good thing, it would be a waste to give it to me."——Let's talk about it Well, if you take other people's hands softly, the more precious it is, the more you can't accept it.

Manju stared at Ibuki with an expression as if he was looking at some rare creature.

"I really don't know what you're thinking—believe it or not, one day you'll beg me to give you this rock."

"Then we'll talk about it when the time comes." With a relaxed face, Yi Bui flipped his hands and spread them out in front of Man Zhu.

"...But," Aikawa sighed long, and lowered his head, "As long as there is such a person by my side, I always feel that... no matter what kind of trouble it is, it can always be solved."

"—Put your hands down!"

"I don't listen I don't listen!"

"It's all here, so you don't want to listen!"

"..."

Even though he was old and peaceful, the white-haired old man coughed heavily because of the scene in front of him——Yibuki and Manzhu stopped after receiving this warning, and confronted each other one after the other. with.

"...Huh," Manzhu, who was not caught, was naturally suffocated. She straightened her hair and made a disgusted look, "Aren't you afraid to listen to just a story?"

Yibui leaned on his knees and took two deep breaths: "I have tried my best to bring me to this kind of place, but the end result is to tell me a story—do you think I will be so naive to believe it?"

The old man: "...Wait, you didn't come here to listen to the story, so what are you doing here?"

Yibuki: "..." Dare to tell a story? !

Yibuki glanced past the old and the young in front of him, and seemed to hesitate before continuing:

"But if you really listen to Manzhu tell her story... I won't be silenced because I know too much?"

"Knowing too much is for sure," Manzhu pouted, "As for whether you can keep your mouth shut—that depends on your own awareness."

"Generally speaking—" Aikawa finally concluded, "That's a good guy." At the end, he added: "Well, a good teammate."

"..."

"..."

Yuuki and Daigo looked at each other, finally Yuuki opened his mouth and asked a question dryly:

"Are you sure what you said...is really Ibuki Jiwang?"

Aikawa nodded sincerely.

"...Hmm." The unexpectedly high evaluation—Dago nodded—but it was indeed something that Ibuki would do.It's just that these abstract descriptions are not enough to dispel any doubts about Ibuki, Dawu thought, maybe it's time to talk to her in person.
