Chapter 31 "The Sword Arrives"
"Oh, there's a special individual? I'm very curious then, what kind of Pokémon could be so attractive!"
"It is said to be a Carbonari, a Pokémon unique to the Padia region. Even in its native habitat, it is quite rare. Moreover, it is said that the individual is also a person with outstanding talent."
To be honest, that little carbon servant wasn't given away just anyone; it was reserved by a wealthy second-generation heir from Shizuishan City.
So, our boss is planning to catch them all in one fell swoop, and then present that little charcoal servant to...
"For whom is this dedicated?"
"Our Poison Blade Society is actually a spy planted in Water City by a much more powerful organization. Our boss wants to offer Tan Koji to a big shot in that organization."
"A large organization? Which organization?"
"It's Lava Team!
"Oh~, I didn't expect that your Poison Blade Society was actually a spy supported by the Lava Team. This is a bit troublesome."
It seems that when we wipe out an entire family next time, we'll need to be more thorough and try not to leave any trace.
"What? You plan to wipe out our Poison Blade Society?"
"That's none of your business anymore. I'm asking you about someone else, Rod!"
"Rhodes, you know him? He's a core member of the guild, just like us. He's slightly stronger than me, and he'll be participating in the Pokémon raid on Lilycove City later."
"How strong is your guild leader, the one called Scarface?"
"All we knew was that he had a 'professional' Seviper, but he never showed us any other Pokémon besides Seviper."
"Professional level, huh? We don't even know if there are any other Pokémon. This is getting a bit tricky."
With that thought in mind, Lin Ye casually finished off the unconventional woman and then disposed of the body to cover his tracks.
According to his original plan, if his strength improved smoothly, he would deal with that Rod directly, as a way of avenging Zoroa.
If they lack the strength, they will try to expose their plans so that the law and Officer Jenny can punish them severely.
As for the Poison Blade's plan to seize those Pokémon, he hadn't really cared about it before.
But now, hearing that there was a rare and talented Samurai among those Pokémon has given him a different idea.
Tanjiro has two evolutionary forms, one of which is the Ghost-type Azure Flame Blade Demon, which can be fully integrated into its undead army.
Moreover, he happened to bring out a "cursed armor" from the ancient tomb, which was simply a stroke of luck.
However, if he wanted to obtain that Charcoal Servant, he couldn't interfere with the Poison Blade Society's plan. Instead, he should congratulate them on their success and then wait for them to appear later.
However, if he wants to successfully snatch Charcoal Servant, he needs to reach the "Professional" level within this week.
After all, the woman only said that he had a "professional-grade" rice spoon snake, and it was unknown whether he had other trump cards. If Lin Ye wanted to take advantage of Tan Xiaoshi, he would have to significantly improve his strength in a short period of time.
Moreover, the leader of the Poison Blade Society has the Lava Team as a backer, and that organization is no joke. Lin Ye should not provoke them lightly at present.
Therefore, he needs to make sure he does it cleanly before he takes action, in order to avoid being targeted by Team Lava later.
Afterwards, Lin Ye had the Snow Fairy awaken the Coal Turtle, causing it to breathe fire and attack. Finally, he dodged and let the flames burn the corpses of the non-mainstream couple. The high temperature of over a thousand degrees quickly turned them into ashes.
Next, he forcibly recalled Torkoal into its Poké Ball and locked it in place. After tidying up, he left the scene with his sword.
He soared through the air atop his single-edged sword sheath, its eyes looking down at the neon lights of the modern metropolis of Waterloo City, silent and lost in thought.
By the time Lin Ye landed on the villa with his sword, it was already late at night. After leaping off the ground, the single sword sheath spun in mid-air and turned into a shadow, returning to the shadow beneath his feet.
Upon entering the villa, I found that although the living room lights were on, no one was there. I must have come back too late, and Qiao Yijing was already asleep.
Not wanting to disturb others' rest, Lin Ye tiptoed back to his room, quickly washed up, fed his three ghost Pokémon some Energy Cubes, and then went to sleep.
…………
The next day,
Lin went to bed late and woke up late. When she left her room, she found that Qiao Yijing had already left. She also found that both Qiao Yijing and Xiao Yao had sent her messages.
Qiao Yijing: "I've made breakfast for you. It's in the insulated box. Just take it out and heat it up. Please be careful while you're training in the wild."
By the way, you came back too late yesterday and didn't have time to introduce your new roommate to you. She's a very cute and talkative young lady.
Moreover, she's a very promising young trainer. I'll introduce her to you next time we have the chance, and the three of us can discuss and spar together.
Lin Ye felt a warmth in his heart as he ate the "love breakfast" that the No. 1 rich woman had prepared for him early in the morning, while browsing the messages sent by the No. 2 rich woman!
Qianliyao: "Lin Ye, I've successfully registered for the Water Radiance Contest. I'll be busy preparing for it for a while, so I might not have time to come and adventure with you! (Unhappy)"
But I have some good news for you: I've found a stable place to stay in Water Lily City. My landlady is a very kind and gentle older sister.
After the Water Lily Tournament ends, I will stay in Water Lily City for a while, and then I can go on adventures with Lin Ye to my heart's content.
By the way, the pumpkin spirit and I got along very well. That guy can really eat; no wonder he's grown so big.
And the Snow Fairy, she must be having a lot of fun with Lin Ye. Lin Ye, please remember to bring her along when the Water Stillness Tournament starts!
After reading these two messages, Lin Ye nodded with satisfaction. If he could get either the rich woman number one or number two, he could avoid eighty years of hard work.
Now that both women have shown interest in me, if I could get these two rich women to take turns serving me, wouldn't the title of Pokémon Master be within my grasp?
Of course, the premise is that you have to manage your time well and not let the two coincide.
Keep in mind that Lilycove City is the largest metropolis in Hoenn with a population of over ten million. How easy would it be for two people who have absolutely no connection to meet!
Lin Ye replied to the messages with the two wealthy women, and only left satisfied after eating and drinking his fill.
According to the original plan, we needed to take a taxi to the suburban pier first, just like last time, and then take a boat to Mount Kinabalu.
But this time, he had a single sword sheath, which allowed him to fly on his sword. He decided to try flying directly to Mount Songshen.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye suddenly remembered something. His eyes darted around, and he pointed upwards with one hand, fingers together like a sword, and shouted:
"Sword, come!"
The next moment, a broadsword with a red border flew out from the shadow beneath his feet, circled above his head, and finally came to a steady stop not far in front of him.
