As Qingwu's voice fell, he saw a jeep charging horizontally through the forest.
On the jeep was a huge iron cage, inside which were many hungry Ekans. Behind it, Miss Junsha was chasing on a motorcycle.
Miss Junsha's motorcycle's sidecar also had a Growlithe sitting in it.
This was a cunning poaching group. Qingwu didn't know why, but recently, a large number of Poison-type Pokémon had been captured.
There must be a large organization involved, and he didn't know what kind of conspiracy they were cooking up.
The jeep startled the nearby Flying-type Pokémon. The originally willing Staraptor and Swellow immediately retreated.
Qingwu watched the increasingly fast jeep and sent out Lairon.
"Lairon, use Iron Defense, stack it six times, then use Heavy Slam on the jeep," Qingwu commanded Lairon.
The shirtless poacher, with a headscarf, and a green dragon tattoo on his chest, was arrogantly provoking Miss Junsha.
"Hey, stupid woman, come catch me!" The unsuspecting poacher looked at Lairon charging towards him. Behind Lairon stood a trainer.
"Hmph, you really don't know what's good for you!" This instead incited the poacher's ferocity. He stepped on the gas pedal, and the tires fiercely rubbed against the ground, emitting white smoke.
He only heard a dull thud. Amidst a fierce battle, the poacher, gripping the steering wheel, flew out, looking somewhat dazed.
His beloved jeep had been modified with super-alloy metal and tested. Even after being hit by Aggron, it would still be sent flying. What was this?
The poacher dropped the steering wheel and looked. His beloved jeep had been smashed to pieces by Lairon.
His painstakingly captured Ekans also fell to the ground, scattering in all directions.
Then the poacher fell into the branches and leaves of a large tree, scratched by countless branches, and fell from the tree, bruised and battered.
"You have violated the crime of poaching Pokémon. Please surrender and stop resisting arrest. Your crime is aggravated!" Miss Junsha, with Growlithe, said to the poacher.
"My Arbok (presumably Arbok, the evolved form of Ekans) is not that easy to give up on. Put my 'sweethearts' back!" Three Pokémon were released from Poké Balls.
They were a Sandshrew and two Paras.
Sandshrew resembled an armadillo, its entire body covered in a gray hard shell.
Sandshrew had a hard shell like a rock. It could fly by spraying compressed gas inside its body. Its jet power was strong, its destructive power immense. It could even smash a small mountain!
Paras, on the other hand, had two sharp spears, just like knights in the medieval world. These three Pokémon were all very powerful.
{Sandshrew (Green) Level 48}
{Paras (Yellow) Level 43}
{Paras (Yellow) Level 43}
These three opponents, Qingwu couldn't have predicted.
As soon as Sandshrew appeared, it stirred up a sandstorm, making Miss Junsha and Growlithe retreat two steps.
"Come out, Infernape, Turtwig. It's time to test your training results."
As soon as Turtwig emerged from the Poké Ball, it began to Rapid Spin, dodging Sandshrew's sandstorm attack.
Lairon clashed with a Paras.
Infernape, on the other hand, endured the attack of another Paras.
"Turtwig, just use Sandshrew as your target. Use Water Gun to attack Sandshrew's eyes. Be careful to dodge Sandshrew's attacks," Qingwu shouted at Turtwig.
"Infernape, be careful of Paras's attacks. Use your scorching flames to defeat Paras."
"Lairon, your enhancement has reached its limit. Don't be afraid. Charge!" Qingwu finally said to the timid Lairon.
The jeep crashed into Lairon at high speed, surprisingly leaving no white mark.
"Thank you for helping me intercept this poacher. He is a notorious poacher known to us. Our police station has even issued a warrant for him!" Miss Junsha said, thanking Qingwu.
"No problem. Helping out when you see injustice is the duty of a citizen of the Alliance," Qingwu said calmly.
"You bastard! My Arbok, who originally could have escaped, was so easily let go by you!" The poacher pulled out a dagger from his waist and lunged at Qingwu.
These Ekans were important commodities. Arbok had spent half a month guarding and capturing these commodities. Now, they were actually released by Qingwu.
Arbok, burning with rage, did not choose to flee, but instead planned to confront Qingwu, its "thorn in the eye."
"Swellow, Peck, Shiftry, Infernape, come here!" Qingwu faced the enraged Arbok without flinching.
A blue shadow shot directly towards Arbok. Arbok only felt a sting in its wrist, and its elbow immediately dropped with a thud.
Then, four green light points hit Arbok's four limbs in succession, directly knocking Arbok down.
"Shiftry, use Bind!" Bind countless wild grass into a ball, solidly binding Arbok.
"Damn it, help me, quickly help me!" Arbok roared loudly.
Arbok's Pokémon only cared about themselves, so they had no time to help their trainer.
Sandshrew was hit in the eye by Turtwig's water gun while spinning in the air. Sandshrew's attacks couldn't hit Turtwig, who was spiraling in the air.
Sandshrew, in anger, started a bigger sandstorm. Instantly, the wind howled, and large amounts of sand formed yellow smoke.
"Heh heh heh," Arbok ate a mouthful of sand indifferently, cursing at Sandshrew.
"Sandshrew, why aren't you using moves? You're just attacking me!" Saliva splattered. Qingwu silently took a step back.
Infernape, with a flaming fist, struck Paras's head. Flames instantly ignited the entire Petalburg Woods.
"My goodness, Infernape, stop!" Qingwu was greatly shocked. If Infernape burned down the entire forest, Miss Junsha would immediately arrest Qingwu.
According to Alliance regulations, using Fire-type Pokémon to cause wildfires in forests would result in the trainer being sentenced.
Infernape could only reluctantly use its flaming fists to engage Paras in a back-and-forth battle.
Lairon clashed with Paras. At this moment, Lairon, with the added effect of gravity, was like a runaway train. Paras's two spears, strengthened by its evolution, were actually broken off by Lairon's steel armor.
Silver-white light flashed on Lairon's claws, carving a flashing cross in the air. This was Lairon's most familiar counter-attack.
Lairon, also inspired by the continuous attacks, used Metal Claw continuously. Its sharp claws scratched Paras's armor.
Just as Paras was breathing heavily, Lairon saw a huge beam of light charging towards itself.
It turned out that Sandshrew had been constantly hitting Turtwig without success, so it got anxious and aimed a Hyper Beam at Turtwig.
As a result, Turtwig dodged, and the Hyper Beam smashed into the ground.
Lairon directly opened its sharp maw, bit a Paras in front of it, and tossed it in the direction of the light beam. Then it ran away.
Paras stared blankly as it was struck by the Hyper Beam. Paras's armor was already covered in scars.
After being hit by the Hyper Beam, a crack appeared in Paras's armor, then it shattered into several pieces, revealing the tender flesh inside.
The air was filled with the smell of burnt protein.
This Paras seemed to be a pair. After this Paras was heavily injured, the other Paras also reacted.
Infernape directly lifted its flaming fist and heavily struck Paras's head.
Paras passively defended and was directly hit by Infernape, its body involuntarily crashing into a branch of a giant tree.
Arbok, seeing this, already had no chance of winning.
Qingwu, however, saw Arbok's mouth continuously curving upwards.
"Miss Junsha, do you know if Arbok has any other Pokémon?" Qingwu seemed to think of something, subtly asking Miss Junsha.
...
"It seems to have more Pokémon than that, right?" Just then, the ground where Arbok was standing cracked into several pieces. A dragon-headed ground rat burrowed out of the earth. Its sharp claws severed the bind wrapping Arbok.
"As expected, it still has a Pokémon hidden. What a cunning poacher."
"Old Tiger, save me! If you don't save me again, I'll go to jail!" Arbok shouted loudly to the surroundings.
A blue light suddenly appeared on Arbok's body. At this moment, Sandshrew withdrew its Pokémon.
Paras stared at Arbok, its eyes filled with hope.
"These two useless Pokémon, they're useless even if recalled!" Arbok looked at Paras like trash.
Paras's two spears on its body shattered, its armor broken. The other one also wasn't doing well; a deep, immeasurable crack appeared in its armor.
Even if these two Paras were healed, they couldn't battle. Moreover, healing would cost a fortune.
For poachers, they had no feelings for their Pokémon, like clothes. They could be discarded at any time.
"You brat, I remember you!" Arbok said arrogantly, then made a face at Qingwu.
But soon, Arbok felt something was wrong.
"Old Tiger, why haven't you teleported yet?" Arbok looked at Sandshrew and Dragapult.
Arbok only knew at this moment that Old Tiger, relying on his Sandshrew and Dragapult, had teleported away.
"That stupid tiger, I actually thought he would save me!" Old Tiger hid in a corner of the forest. At this moment, he held Sandshrew's and Dragapult's Poké Balls, his eyes filled with regret.
"Old Tiger? Qingwu recalled the person who had ambushed him under the cross-sea bridge before. Was it the same person?
"I'll accuse you of poaching and smuggling Pokémon!" Miss Junsha went up to him and, with an over-the-shoulder throw, violently slammed Arbok to the ground.
He only heard a dull thud. Qingwu felt his scalp tingle, and it even made Qingwu feel pain.
