Chapter 206 The news of the Ether Foundation, the old man’s entrustment

Hoshino staggered over and picked up the iron bundle. He remained motionless. Just like when he was hit by an electromagnetic gun before, his machine was down again.

"It still needs to be repaired..."

Although it can be resurrected by charging with an electric field, it shuts down after being hit hard. It should be that there were some problems with the body when it was teleported from Area Zero.

At this time, Lillie and Xinye Miao came over, and they were a little puzzled that Hoshino didn't let them chase that guy.

"Why didn't you let me chase you just now?"

"Meow!"

"I know who that guy is. He will definitely pop up again, and I estimate that he will definitely not appear again in a short period of time."

"Then who is he!"

Lillie asked in a serious tone, but Hoshino shook his head and responded: "It's hard to say now, you will know later, and he is not hostile to you. The real target should be me."

Gladion came here to attack him, probably to avenge the last incident in Aether Paradise... But it seemed that the other party was the one who struck first that time, right?

But these were put aside for the time being. After the other party saw Lillie, he left without hesitation, which meant that he probably didn't want to recognize each other, and the specific reason was unknown.

But now that he has been seen, he will not act rashly again. If he is bumped into by Lillie again, he will definitely not be able to leave without explaining clearly.

"This family is really... But when did this guy approach me? I didn't notice it at all, and I didn't even know anyone was nearby."

Hoshino is a little confused on this point, but he still can't figure it out. He just caught the opportunity to relax. Sure enough, it is better to wear a helmet. His head is still buzzing...

He did not choose to tell Gladion's identity, mainly because he wanted to know what the other party wanted to do with his actions, and if he said it directly, it might arouse the suspicion of the eldest lady.

After all, even she herself doesn’t remember the appearance of her runaway brother, so why can you recognize him? When the time comes, he will have to make up stories to fool her. Hoshino doesn’t want to deliberately lie to her about this kind of thing.

"..."

Seeing Hoshino's deliberate concealment, Lillie frowned slightly, then relaxed and shook her head. There must be a reason why she didn't tell him now. She believed him.

Then she walked forward and asked in a worried tone: "Are you sure you're okay? I think it's better to go to the hospital. There's so much blood..."

"They say it's ketchup."

"..."

At this time, Xinye Miao jumped on his head, scratching and looking for any wounds. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he finally felt relieved. The Motorized Lizard also stepped forward, but was targeted by the opponent. I apologized for not being able to help.

Feeling their concerns and worry, Xingye felt a little warm in his heart, then shook his head and responded: "It's okay, I'm alive and kicking anyway."

Lillie walked up to him, stretched out her hand to help him straighten his clothes, and then said seriously: "Okay, but you must be careful next time!"

"rest assured!"

After a few more exchanges, Hoshino turned his attention to Dapa who was lying on the ground not far away, regained his calm expression, and walked over.

"Hey, don't pretend to be dead."

"...I will surrender, please let me go!"

Dapa was very fast, and he came back to life immediately. These guys were too cruel, and if he fell into their hands, he might as well go to the orange to get bread and shelter.

"snort!"

Lillie snorted, looked at him with disgust, and shouted: "A group of people went to rob a lonely old man, there is really no bottom line!"

"The aggression needs to be improved, but I still hope that you will be less aggressive... But that's it, I still have some things to ask him."

Hoshino lowered his head and then asked slowly: "Two years ago, your Skeleton Team was involved in a case of imprisoning Pokémon, right? Later, due to an accidental explosion, it was moved from the port area to the abandoned warehouse of the Orchard. As a result, I gave it to

One pot is ready."

"ah?"

Dapa was confused. He didn't know whether he was shocked that the other party was responsible for the incident that led to some members being arrested, or whether he didn't know about it at all.

Noticing his expression, Hoshino didn't pay attention and continued: "I read on the news that in the first half of this year, a diving ship transporting Pokémon was sunk when it provoked a passing Kyogre in the Melemele Sea.

, and the people inside are all former members of Team Rocket who are now part-time Pokémon hunters.”

"And after investigating, these guys discovered that it was related to the case two years ago. They captured the Pokémon and handed it over to the Skeleton Team for storage in the port area..."

Hearing Hoshino suddenly mention this matter, Lillie glanced at her Kyuubi and Fairy Eevee. The Pokémon involved in both cases were here, but at that time Kyuubi was just a Pokémon egg.

.

Faced with these words, Dapa's expression became tense. After a moment of silence, he hesitated and said: "This matter... I really don't know. Our Skeleton Team is just a group of people who yearn for freedom to gather together. What other people do does not matter.

Everyone must know it."

"Yeah……"

Hoshino nodded, then called the Motorized Lizard to his side, and continued to say casually: "But your expression doesn't look like you don't know?"

"Mo Lizard!"

The motorcycle lizard understood what he meant and immediately put on a threatening posture. Dapa was frightened, closed his eyes and shouted in panic: "I have only heard of it, I really don't know what it is, I'm not even a cadre

,Only the boss should know..."

"Boss? Guzma?"

Hoshino nodded. That was indeed the case. The other party was the boss of the Skeleton Team. His subordinates were secretly doing this kind of big business. It was impossible for him not to know.

It seems that only by finding Guzma can we understand who the buyers of those Pokémon are. He never believes that there are only two such times. There must be more Pokémon that have been successfully traded!

It's a pity that this member of the Skeleton Team is too low-level and doesn't know Guzma's location at all. However, he found out the base of the Skeleton Team. As expected, it is in Po Town on Ula'ula Island...

After a moment, dragging the unconscious Dapa and his Heiluga away, Lillie finally couldn't help it and shouted angrily: "It's really abominable, there are such a group of bad people in Alola!"

"That's it..."

"Is there any way to find them?"

"Maybe?"

Hoshino thought of a place, the real Kabukicho underground. It was a chaotic place with a mixture of fish and dragons. Pokémon themselves could form evil forces. Maybe there would be Pokémon who knew about this.

He didn't go underground much, mainly because he didn't have a good impression after the casino incident. Although he seemed to have offended someone, nothing happened. Most of the time he went there was for commissioned work, and he was more comfortable on the ground...

After leaving the woods, he heard the sound of police sirens. Hoshino asked Lillie to come forward and hid himself first to avoid being caught by Miss Junsha for speeding in the city the day before yesterday.

Now in the Alola region, there are many people who know Lillie. She used to politely talk to Miss Junsha about the case, but she still hid what should be hidden.

But Miss Junsha didn't doubt anything about her words. After going to collect evidence from the old messenger bird, she took away the members of the Skeleton Team and interrogated them again after they returned.

Watching a few police cars leaving the orchard, Lila, who was wearing a black uniform at the Lushan Motel not far across the way, was watching calmly, then turned around and said: "It seems to be quite lively, so

Were you involved in what happened over there?"

"No."

Gladion said with a look of embarrassment, although he didn't have any confidence in what he said.

Riding attribute: Sora has been unlucky since he left there, his pants were torn by branches. He finally managed to calm down after taking them back, but he didn't expect to bump into the boss who was out for dinner as soon as he came back.

Lila touched her chin lightly with her finger, her expression lost in thought, and continued after a moment: "I have been paying more attention recently. Dr. Barnett from the Space Research Institute contacted me, and the ultimate space seems to have become a little unstable.

"

"Next year, I will have a senior in the Kalos area... Now that I have a higher position than him, he should be regarded as a subordinate and will come to assist us. He was responsible for the mission of the ultimate beast more than ten years ago, so he should have many

Help, I’m going to get busy.”

"Also, the Aether Foundation is establishing branches and welfare homes on various islands in Alola. Recently, their number of people on the islands seems to have increased, and I don't know what they are going to do..."

Lila seemed to say the last sentence casually, and then she walked towards the night market on the Big Wave Beach alone, but Gladion understood that this sentence was meant for him, and his expression instantly became solemn.

"Mother...what is she going to do again?"

…

In the orchard, after seeing off the bunch of guys, Lillie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was extremely nervous just now. Even after the much-anticipated Youth Cup game, she was still stressed when facing the police.

"You can come out now."

"Um……"

"Next time, don't race with the Motorcycle Lizard. I'm going to fly out at that speed!"

"Um……"

After being lectured by the eldest lady, Hoshino lost his temper at all. Then he carried the iron bundle and walked towards the house under the gaze of a group of messenger birds.

The old messenger bird was still sitting in the wheelchair. He already knew what happened. After watching the two people come in, he wanted to stand up and thank them.

"No, no, no, just sit down."

Hoshino and Lillie said in unison, they are almost a hundred years old, what if they get too excited when they stand up and lose their balance?

After being persuaded by the two people, the old messenger bird continued to sit down. Then his eyes fell on the iron bundle and he slowly said: "This messenger bird..."

"You know it?"

Hoshino is actually quite curious. How did Iron Baggage follow a group of messenger birds here to live in harmony?

At this time, the old messenger bird continued: "More than a month ago...these little guys thought it was lonely, so they brought it back..."

The old messenger bird told the story of how Iron Baggage came here. His eyesight had long been poor and he couldn't tell the difference between Iron Baggage and other messenger birds, but the smallest size was easy to distinguish.

And even without looking at the size, he could recognize every messenger bird here. After all, he rescued and raised them like children.

The iron bundle was brought back, and he took good care of it as always. Unfortunately, he was getting older and could no longer do many things, so he had to let other messenger birds take more care of this little guy.

The messenger birds go out to work every day, and there is actually no one to instruct them. When they no longer need to deliver messages, they go find work on their own to make money for the elderly. The iron baggage also follows these messenger birds.

However, with its excellent express delivery efficiency and its largest tail, it took only a few days to become the boss of these messenger birds. They have always lived in harmony, so naturally there will be no problems.

In the first few days after arriving, Iron Baggage looked like a dork. Later, he seemed to be learning from other messenger birds and would take the initiative to greet the old man, but his calls were completely different and I couldn't understand what he was saying.

They lived peacefully like this, but the Skeleton Team came here two weeks ago, and they came every now and then. They wanted to collect these messenger birds, but the old man would not agree and did not want to pay attention to them.

Unexpectedly, they brought a few more people with them today, and intensified their efforts, directly choosing to force them. Fortunately, the accident did not happen...

"So, are you learning the behavior of other messenger birds?"

Hoshino thought of Roartail. Before he was subdued, he seemed to be following those wild Jigglypuffs around all day long. It seemed that these paradoxical Pokémon had a certain relationship with the original Pokémon!

But putting these aside for now, he put the iron bundle on the ground and continued: "No wonder, it seems to be very happy here. When you were bullied by the Skeleton Team, it got angry and chased you out."

"Really... Haha, this messenger bird is indeed different. I have raised messenger birds for so many years, so of course I know it."

The old messenger bird said happily, but then the conversation changed and his expression returned to calm.

"But... I can't take care of them anymore. They are all taking care of me, a bad old man. It's completely meaningless... Just like those guys who haven't learned well said... I don't have much time left to live."

Hearing this, Lillie quickly shook her head and shouted: "There is no such thing. Grandpa, you are in such good health now, you will definitely live for a long time, and then you will be with these messenger birds..."

Before she could finish her words, the old messenger bird waved her hand to interrupt, and continued in a feeble voice: "I know my physical condition very well... but over the years, I have seen the Alola region develop and prosper from a barren land.

The tree orchards I planted have now become the largest tree orchards in Alola, so it’s not a loss at all.”

"Um?"

Neither Hoshino nor Lillie knew this. The tree orchard was actually planted by the messenger bird old man, so the other party gave it to Alola for free, allowing other people and Pokémon to use it as they pleased?

"Grandpa is a kind man..."

Lillie was still a girl after all, and she felt more deeply about this kind of thing. An old man did not seek fame or profit, but he voluntarily made so many contributions to the Alola region. But in the end, what he got in exchange was that the Skeleton Team came to visit.

persecution……

"well……"

Hoshino shook his head, but at this moment the old messenger bird suddenly looked serious and spoke again: "Can I ask you a favor?"

"Please tell me!"

Both of them became serious and wanted to hear what the other party wanted to ask of them, but the old messenger bird only spoke after taking a look at the messenger birds.

"After I leave... they will be homeless, but they will definitely still miss me, this bad old man, so I hope you can help me enlighten them to pursue their own lives...

…”
