Inside the Safari Zone Cave
This is where Rock type Pokémon and Ground type Pokémon used to live. The dry, cool cave was supposed to be a resting place for Pokémon, but now the Pokémon that were supposed to be here are nowhere to be seen.
Instead, one by one, they were lying down here, passed out.
Looking closely, there were not only the trainers who entered the Safari Zone dressed in their normal adventure attire. There were also some people wearing Safari Zone staff uniforms who were also sleeping here.
The only sound in the cave at this point was the rising and falling sounds of breathing and even snoring.
At the end of the crowd, a man wearing Lunatone mask was holding a bowl and breaking the mouths of the sleeping people one by one to feed them water. And behind him was a floating Lunatone, which was lifting a large bucket in the air with Confusion and placing it not far behind the Lunatone-masked man, just out of reach.
On the boulder on the other side, a man wearing a Solrock mask was lying on it, his head resting on his hands, his right leg curled up, his left leg resting on his right leg, and he was humming a clumsy tune.
"Ground! Will you stop playing around! Execute the plan! Execute the plan!"
The man in the Lunatone mask finally couldn't stand it anymore and turned his head towards Rock and yelled lowly, his yelling waking up the trainer he was feeding the water to. But before that trainer could open his eyes, Lunatone's Hypnosis had hit him.
So he fell asleep again.
Ground, still lying on the rock, without looking back or opening his eyes, lazily responded, "Geez, hasn't the plan started yet? Why are you in a hurry? What's the use of being anxious. However..."
He turned his head to look at the Lunatone masked man and said, "With all due respect, Rock, regarding our crappy plan, does it make a difference when we launch it?"
Ground couldn't figure it out, it's just kidnapping, blackmail? It's just that this time it's not the ransom that's being demanded but the League's resources. In fact, League's resources weren't the main purpose, the main purpose was still to make a name for themselves, to hit a wave of League's face, so that they could be promoted within the organization, marry a rich white woman, and go to the peak of their life... my ass!
It's not like the Organization is an evil organization, they're just looking for Plate, a promotion and raise is easy, just find Plate, or complete the mission left by the Organization.
The former is like Ice and Vision in the Kanto area before, the latter is like Rai and Denki in the Kanto region.
Promotions and raises in the Servants of God organization really don't look at subjective initiative...
Not to mention that this plan, which doesn't have much of a future at first glance, kidnapped so many people that it's obvious that it's going to be a big deal ...
"Of course there's a difference!" Rock's tone was full of arrogance and disdain for Ground, who knew nothing.
"But I've done the math, tomorrow, this is the auspicious day for us to launch, and 9:41 in the morning is the auspicious time for us to launch our plan. I've done the math, as long as we launch at this time, then the success of our plan is inevitable!"
Ground rolled his eyes widely under his own mask...
Rock's auspicious time theory had been slapped in the face for I don't know how many times, at first he believed in it for a while, but later on, he didn't believe in it half of the time. However, Rock is as stubborn as a donkey, once he decides something, he can't get it back, so Ground doesn't bother to stop him now, let him go.
Anyway, before winning first worry about defeat, he is ready to surrender...
Don't be kidding, follow Servants of God is a salary that's right, but he Ground is not what lack of money people.
As for whitewashing, there's never any right or wrong in the League, it's more about the human condition...
Not to mention, his distant relative James, even after joining Team Rocket, maintained Team Rocket's establishment even after Team Rocket was disbanded and no one cared about it.
Why is it that the stupid James was basically never caught by Jenny. If the Jenny family doesn't have that kind of power, how did they manage to hold half of the League's police force in their hands...
It's just the family contributing to the effort...
So he never worried about his whitewashing after joining a villainous organization... and the Safari Zone... of course he knew about it... and he knew even more about who actually set up this Safari Zone. So in fact, when Rock told him that their target was in the Safari Zone... his entire being was dumbfounded...
Others don't know, but he knows very well ah, the person who set up this place in front of him is Professor Rope, and Professor Rope's great name has already spread within the League's internal rumors!
This kind of person they all avoided, this fool in front of him is still focusing on me, this is not to the mouth of the gun?
Their family's news is of course also well-informed, naturally inquired about the recent situation of Safari Zone, good guy, do not know without inquiring, once inquired about a shock.
The rules have basically become a setup, and there are all kinds of people who are doing anything inside, and there are even people who have put their hands in the Safari Zone. Recently, there have been so many talented Pokémon on the black market, and I thought that since League hasn't had any big events lately, there shouldn't be any captured mature Pokémon to deal with.
That's right, the Black Market is basically run by League...
The biggest purpose of the Black Market is for League to deal with Pokémon that are not easy to tame or are difficult to deal with. Of course, there are also some Pokémon that are sent over by the big families. Without a doubt, this was the most profitable business. Unfortunately, not everyone has the ability to do it.
Pokémon are the underpinnings of a family.
That's why there are very few Pokémon in circulation on the black market, and link exchanges are more prevalent among trainers than buying Pokémon on the black market.
Of course, there are also auctions organized by the Leagues, which are basically used to dig into the pockets of the big families. The invitations to the auctions are usually sent to the trainers of the big families, and then they give out a lot of props or Pokémon that look very good, but in fact have only a few effects.
But you can't not buy it. This is the League's way of asking you for money. Do you dare not give it to them? If you don't give it to them, they will have to give the League a big sum of money. Every family has not forgotten how the League started. It was built in the Monster War, and then it killed countless families and created spare resources.
There aren't many clans left, and they're basically the same ones who bowed down to League back then, so who dares to blow up with League now.
As long as you don't want our family's family background, give some money is a small matter, as a protection fee...
And League itself and the family's relationship is also getting closer and closer. It's hard to say whether it's the clan that's becoming more League-oriented or the League that's becoming more clan-oriented. But in a few years we should see the beginnings of it.
Then it will depend on the tug-of-war after this hint comes out, everyone is waiting for the opportunity. It's basically the Kanto region that will define and determine the future of League. If the clans win, then the future of League will probably be a notification tool for a few of the major families.
If the League wins... the family will have to break bones again...
Thinking about this Ground also shook his head, he himself is not in the family now, nor is he in the League's system, to be honest, in the past three or two years Ground intends to maintain this kind of life, and anyway, his own strength isn't too weak, so he can survive anywhere. . There's not much desire for tinsel or power either. He just wanted to live through the disputes that had passed, and didn't want to get involved in those fights.
The reason why he chose to join Servants of God was also because Servants of God didn't object to their men quitting, after all, they, the outsiders, knew almost nothing. And League hadn't reached that point of immortality in their treatment of Servants of God either.
But if they did get caught by League, then they would have to make a choice.
So he now regretted joining this organization.
Or rather regret meeting this crazy person in front of him.
Ground looked at Rock below.After spending so much time together, of course he knew that this Rock guy's nature wasn't bad, or else he wouldn't have fed these people in front of him water, and the 'big' plan he came up with was just as irrelevant as a big kid's prank.
Ground all dare to say, is in front of these people to the end of the hanging, League will not care what. Because in front of this big pile of people although all killed absolutely have wronged, but every other kill a absolutely have missed the fish.
Although most of these people he did not recognize, but his people in the family passed on the information, the staff are mostly people from a certain family, and the vast majority of trainers in this are some who have violated the rules of Safari Zone.
Breaking the rules at this juncture, that being Rope to the small book is no different, seriously, by the big brother to fix it, it is better to hang straight...
Those who hold the power will how to play people he has seen it. They can really play with people to the point of death and still not die.
He was just a Pidove who wanted to be free, and had no interest in power or in deciding the future of a person's life or death at the drop of a hat.
As for why is Pidove...
You taste it, you taste it carefully~
But also because of these people have done good things he dared to agree to Rock's plan, after all, in a sense they are still helping Rope's favor, even if Rope does not appreciate them, but also not so much as to look for their trouble.
Besides, he wasn't still masked!
Ground really loves the Servants of God rule of having to wear a mask.
You could have him cosplay Cinderace if you could, just make sure you don't let Rope recognize him.
Mind you, he'd been disliked by Rope five years ago... childhood trauma often have to be cured with a bang.
Ground shivered at the thought, then looked to Rock and shouted, "Rock, go outside and check the situation! What if another newcomer comes!"
"There are almost enough people already!" Rock said without looking back. His tone carried a hint of impatience, and his voice had a hint of raspiness and madness.
"Go check it out! Big plans, we both have to be discreet!" Ground said, wiggling his legs absently.
Rock looked up and rolled his eyes at Ground, then waved his hand at his Lunatone, who set the bucket of salt water down.Rock opened his mouth and shouted, "Then get your ass down here and feed them water! You know it's important haha! Big plan!"
With that he turned his head and led Lunatone towards the outside of the cave.
Ground yawned, "Fine, fine, I'm on my way!"
"Hurry!"
"Yes, Great Lord Rock~"
Ground got up reluctantly, not looking too old, probably the same fourteen or fifteen, and then motioned for Solrock, who was beside him, to lower himself down with Confusion. Then he picked up a bowl of water and scooped up a bowl of lightly salted water, then carefully poured it in for a trainer who had passed out on the floor. Behind him, Solrock, as was Lunatone at the time, lifted the bucket of water with Confusion, then followed behind Ground.
Rock wasn't bad by nature, and how bad could Ground be who could befriend him?
Ground is a pretty good guy for putting up with Rock's slightly insane behavior and manner of speaking.
————————————
The stars were shining brightly tonight.
Rope lies on his back in the grass, looking up at the stars in the sky, wondering what he's thinking.
Whitley looked into Rope's eyes reflecting the stars, and was keenly aware of Rope's confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Whitley handed Rope the tree fruit juice in his hand.
Rope reached out his left hand and took the tree fruit juice, then passed it to his right hand and reached out his left hand toward Whitley again.
Whitley looked at Rope's outstretched hand and felt like she was being nosy...
With a disgruntled grunt, Whitley gave Rope the same bottle of tree fruit juice she had prepared for herself, and then turned her head away from Rope.
"Tree fruit juice has alcohol in it, and you're not allowed to drink it underage. Be a good boy and go drink milk and normal juice for me."
Rope beautifully sucked the tree fruit juice out of two straws in one piece.
The so-called juice is the juice made from various fruits. And juice is a drink with alcohol content made from various tree fruits contained in the shell of a Shuckle.
"Who says I'm not an adult. Rope, ten years old is an adult, okay!"
Whitley disgruntledly gave Rope a dose of common sense. That's right, League's rules are so outrageous, ten years old is the age of adulthood, begin to take on various responsibilities normally, for example, murder, ten years old is already an adult, so it should be the death penalty death penalty...
That being said, although Rope feels that League's age of adulthood is a little too low, but there's nothing to be opposed to it, after all, the previous world which is still quite stable has so many teenage demons. Not to mention this world that still smells like blood...
But he still thinks that underage people can't drink alcohol, and it's best not to drink alcohol even when you're an adult. So tree fruit juice was as far as Rope could take it.
Every time Lance and Bruno, the two older drivers, tried to take Rope for a drink, before Rope could say anything, Granny Agatha snapped with Lorelei.
Things like 'you don't learn and you're trying to bring others down', 'Rope is so nice to you guys and you're doing this to him', and so on just popped out.
So Rope has absolutely no access to alcohol either.
Even when Professor Oak tries to take Rope for a drink, he gets stopped by Daisy. Of course, the same goes for Blue and Red.
So Rope didn't even want Whitley to get his hands on any of the face tree fruit juice now.
"You'll be able to drink when you're sixteen. For now it's better to drink the juice honestly."
Rope whispered as she sipped her tree fruit juice.
And so, that was probably the last of the peace.
