Chapter 39 It’s not easy for Pokémon hunters these days

"The other half was taken away?"

As soon as Hoshino came over with the warmed Moo Moo milk, he saw little Gengar waving his hands and shouting, telling him about Shushu's situation.

I don’t know why, within such a short period of time, these guys have become one with each other, and even accepted the commission for him, and the work has been arranged.

"Well... let's eat first, and I'll take care of the rest."

Hoshino has also prepared the portion of Mouse. The little Gengar is growing up (doubtfully), so he will make more every day. It is too nutritious to eat Pokémon food and energy cubes.

He sat on the sofa, looked at Shushu who was sitting across from him, and introduced himself: "I am the owner of this Wanshiwu House. Can you tell me the details of the commission? Who captured your companion."

"..."

Shushu did not respond immediately, but after looking at Gengar, he waved his little hand and shouted. Hoshino observed carefully and understood the meaning.

"A group of very bad, very bad people... brought you to this place, and then..."

For a moment, Hoshino almost understood what Shushu meant. It was that someone had brought a pair of rats from other places, probably from the Padia area. There were too few sightings of a pair of rats in other places.

After being brought to the Alola region, they were kept in a cage somewhere unknown for about two or three days.

As a result, there was a sudden explosion that destroyed the place. A pair of rats were caught in the explosion and separated. They fell into the sewer and were washed away by the water. They finally ran out of the sewer, but met the cats.

"It should be roughly like this..."

While Hoshino was understanding, he would use his mobile phone to record it, and then he would compare the translated words with Shushu and finally come up with this.

Although he had a big hip problem in the school exam, he still has something to offer. His talent has given him an opportunity, so he must use it diligently.

However, no more information can be obtained. Shushu was captured and kept in a cage. He has no idea about the outside world. But if it was an explosion, just look for it on the Internet.

"Calculate the time, it should be when I'm out of school, look for any explosive news..."

Hoshino couldn't care less about eating now. If what Shushu said was true, then what would come to mind when it comes to the situation where Pokémon are usually kept in cages? That's Pokémon hunters!

Although there are very few of these guys, and some may only see them on the news in their lifetime, it does not mean that they do not exist. There are always guys who will take risks by selling their souls to the devil for profit.

"Let me see...hey boy, it came out right on the Ho'Ole Evening News."

He had just clicked on the home page when he saw the explosion in the port area warehouse two hours ago.

The content was briefly explained, and the result was that no casualties were found in the incident. The specific cause is still under further investigation. It was very standard and perfunctory, and it will probably be forgotten in two days.

"Port area? That's still a bit far."

Hoshino pondered for a moment, then stood up and told the Motorized Lizards to have a good meal, while he went out and would be back soon...

When he came to the izakaya downstairs, he went directly to King Dudai, ready to inquire about something.

Business was not very good today. The only thing that could be seen in the izakaya was the long-tailed fire fox and the Cangyan Blade Ghost chatting. Seeing him come in, King Dude slowly asked: "Are we having dinner again? Didn't Moo Milk ask the Motorized Lizard to move up there?

Is it done?"

"If I don't have time to eat, I'll just ask about some things."

As he said that, Hoshino sat in front of the bar, and then showed the other party the news on his phone.

"There was an explosion in the port area, so what happened?"

"That's it..."

He told King Slow about picking up Shushu, but after the other party listened, he shook his head, picked up a lollipop, and said slowly: "Alola has no treasures.

Creatures such as Pokémon Hunters have the advantage of a small island. Although the ecological environment here is good and there are many rare Pokémon, it is a real version of a trap. If you catch it, you can't escape."

"Is that so?"

This is the first time Hoshino has heard of this, but thinking about it, Alola is composed of an archipelago and is surrounded by the sea. It is indeed difficult to escape, so his guess is wrong? But it may have something to do with it!

"A pair of rats were caught from the Padia area and locked up in a warehouse in the port area. Could it be that there are Pokémon hunters..."

Before he could finish speaking, King Slow suddenly said: "How about you want to do something serious? What age is this? The profession of Pokémon hunter has long ceased to be popular. It is tiring and risky, and there is no business yet.

"

"A few years ago, there seemed to be an international criminal organization that was also in this business, called Team Rocket. Since they were destroyed by that red... or something, a bunch of Pokémon hunters felt that their future was bleak, so they turned to

Workers go to the construction site to clear dust, or resell playing cards, toys, models and other figures."

Hoshino listened to this with a question mark on his face, feeling that he had missed a lot of useful information. However, after listening to it, he tilted his head and subconsciously complained: "The bad guy seems to deserve to die..."

"No, no!"

He shook his head and realized that the topic seemed to have gone sideways. Then he coughed twice and continued: "What I want to ask is, Boss Dai, what do you think?"

"What do I think? I'll lie down and watch! Don't bother me all the time with your own work, okay? If you don't have the ability, don't accept this commission. Even if there is a Pokémon hunter, so what, it's not me who was caught."

"Forehead……"

"But if you really want to know something, in fact, just four months ago, there was an explosion on that artificial island. The specific cause was not identified at that time. As for whether the two incidents are related, I won't say

knew."

"..."

Hearing the sudden words from King Dude, Hoshino narrowed his eyes. The artificial island should be the Aether Research Center. How could this be related?

I don’t understand, but since I said that, it’s better to pay a little attention, but overall, I didn’t ask for much useful information.

Back upstairs, a few guys had already finished their dinner, but they also left a portion for him. But he didn't eat it immediately. Instead, he said to Shushu: "Let's go to the port area to have a look. Although

I feel like there’s not much hope, but it’s good to look for it.”

It has been less than three hours since the incident occurred. Even if the police have already intervened, they may be able to find some clues left behind.

Hearing what he said, Shushu immediately nodded excitedly, then jumped up from the sofa and jumped on him, preparing to follow him. Gengar and Motorized Lizard also took action immediately...

The port area is a long way from Kabukicho, and even riding a motorcycle and taking a shortcut under the speed limit took nearly 20 minutes.

This is the port used by Hauale City to travel to other islands and areas. There is usually a constant flow of people and ships coming and going. Even though it is already night, it is still very lively here.

However, in the warehouse area, due to the explosion that occurred in the afternoon, some areas are still under lockdown for investigation. It is expected that the lockdown will be lifted tomorrow morning and normal operations will occur, but it is still very simple to sneak in.

Based on the photos on the news, Hoshino quickly confirmed the location of the exploded warehouse, then directly used the map on his mobile phone to mark the closest distance that could avoid all surveillance equipment, and then went there.

He temporarily let the Motorized Lizard stay in the Poké Ball to avoid being discovered. After a while, he stopped, leaned against the wall, and looked not far away.

I saw a warehouse over there that was roughly the size of two basketball courts. It had been turned into rubbish. A cordon had been set up around it, and Miss Junsha and Inspector Meerkat were investigating.

"There are a lot of people, it's difficult to handle."

Hoshino had no other choice. He originally wanted to rush over here because he wanted to take advantage of this dinner time when there were not many people around to sneak in and look for clues.

Gengar was floating aside, knowing that it was useless to rush and could only wait a little longer. However, at this time, it suddenly noticed that Shushu, who was sitting on someone's shoulder, seemed to have something wrong with his expression.

"Gengar?"

"Hey!"

"Um?"

Seeing that Shushu had discovered something, Hoshino subconsciously looked in the direction it pointed.

Unexpectedly, I discovered that in the corner on the other side, there was a man whose face he couldn't see clearly hiding. He was also looking at the scene, but there was a skull like an "S" on his waist!

"Team Skeleton?!"
