Chapter 398 The Hunt Begins (1)
The brown bearded man is the leader of the Bull Gang, named Barto, and he is the owner of this farm. He also has another identity, that is, the champion of this year's Great Falls City Gym Tournament. The so-called City Gym Tournament is a contest between the registered gym teams in a city. There is a general gym nearby, and the owner is Barto's friend.
Every year this gym would form a team to participate in the City Gym Tournament, but the results were not satisfactory. This year they invited Barto and he won the championship in one fell swoop, proving that Barto does have some strength in the local area.
Cowboy Jack stopped talking about the previous topic when he saw Barto speak. Hua Guo Lao said, "My cousin provided information that the young man named Fan Sichen is a graduate of the National Defense University in the capital of Dragon Country. This school can be said to be one of the top universities in Dragon Country, so his strength is definitely not weak. He is the leader of the ten-man team, and they will set off to the Rocky Mountains at dawn."
"This group of people's goal is to find and subdue new powerful elves, so they won't go too deep into the Rocky Mountains. With our strength, it shouldn't be a problem to take them down. However, there are too many of them, and some of them or elves will escape, which will also be difficult to deal with if the city's alliance law enforcement team is attracted. So we ambushed in the Rocky Mountains in advance and quickly attacked to rob the elves and their property."
The most convenient way to rob these days is to beat the opponent's Pokémon to the point of death, and then take it away in a Poké Ball. If it is a young Pokémon with great potential, then sell it. Just like the business that the Surge Gang did in the past. If it is an adult Pokémon who is very loyal to his trainer, then ask the trainer for a ransom, and then release the Pokémon after getting the money. This is much more convenient than kidnapping a child for a ransom.
Chen Yuanhong, who is now lying on a hospital bed in South Vietnam, is still waiting for a call from the kidnappers who robbed his Elf. It's a pity that the guys from Team Rocket have no intention of asking for a ransom. His Elf has been thrown into the Pacific Ocean by Xiaohong, and he doesn't know when he can find it back home.
"Are you just going to take the team of ten? Not the team of six?" Barto asked.
"You'd have to ask Cowboy Jack. His Gengar is not weak, but look at how scared it was just now. The opponent must be very strong, or the attribute restraint made it like this."
Cowboy Jack said, "This group of people is not simple. I feel that they have a special purpose, and their target is the Silver Mountain Secret Realm. The pretty girl I met in the Mercenary Union during the day was asking around for information about the Silver Mountain Secret Realm, and she also offered a reward for information in the union, and the money she paid was quite a lot. They must be very rich, and robbing them will definitely make more money than robbing those ten college students."
"Let's go to the Silver Mountain Secret Realm! That's a secret realm with a danger level of S+. Are these people sure they want to go there?"
"Why else would they inquire about that secret place? They must want to try their luck there."
"Anyone who dares to go to that secret realm is not an easy person to deal with, so let's not touch them for now. Just capture that team of ten people and the hunt begins!" Following Barto's order, they immediately took action and set out to ambush in the Rocky Mountains overnight.
Although Fan Sichen was very careful, he was still too young. This was the risk he faced when he ran out to explore without enough experience. The seemingly amiable tour guide recommended elves and conquered areas to him, but in fact, he was guiding his exploration route, and then told the Bull Gang the possible routes, so that they could ambush them in advance.
At around nine in the morning, Wang Qiyi finished his morning training with the elves in the wild and returned to the hotel. He has maintained the habit of early training for many years. Jia Wencheng had just gotten up at this time. This young master occasionally worked hard with Wang Qiyi, but he started to slack off in recent days. To be honest, who doesn't sleep in during the summer vacation?
Wang Qiyi took a hot shower in the hotel and changed his clothes: "Hey, get up, it's time to go." He forcibly pulled Jia Wencheng up and sent the departure message to the mobile phone group. The other four people were already ready for battle.
This time they were well prepared and brought plenty of supplies for outdoor survival. Most importantly, they had Hoopa, whose dimensional portal could retrieve supplies at any time. So they bought the supplies in advance and stored them in a warehouse somewhere, which was equivalent to carrying a warehouse with them when they went out.
However, the place connected by the interdimensional space gate cannot be too far away from them. The space distance and the size of the space gate are related to the energy that Hoopa needs to consume. So in order to save energy, Wen Xinyi had already rented a warehouse in a farmhouse outside the Great Falls City, and stored all the purchased materials in the warehouse for Hoopa to use.
Except for Xu Xuehan and Wen Xinyi, the other four had their own flying mounts. Wen Xinyi and Li Yaoyao rode on Pidgeot, while Xu Xuehan rode on Wang Qiyi's testicles. The speed was naturally fast when flying in the sky, and they flew out of the Great Falls City in a few minutes. Looking from the sky, they could indeed see the super-large waterfall formed by the Missouri River in the canyon in the distance.
After leaving Great Falls, we flew northwest and soon saw endless mountains, which were the Rocky Mountains, the northern border of Eagle Country. Wang Qiyi asked everyone to lower the flight altitude because the entrance to the secret realm was in a canyon. If we flew too high, it would be easy to miss it and we would not be able to find the way.
Fan Sichen's adventure team set out two hours earlier than Wang Qiyi. When Wang Qiyi was leaving for morning training, he saw Fan Sichen gathering a team of ten people and heading to the Rocky Mountains. Not all of them had flying mounts, so they rode together on elves that were good at running, and the flying elves were put in the sky for reconnaissance and sentry.
Many local farms raise Kentaro or Pony, and you can rent a mount elf by paying a certain deposit. Due to the complex terrain and dense forests in the Rocky Mountains, riding an elf is much more convenient than driving or riding a bicycle.
In two hours, Fan Sichen and others quickly arrived at the Rocky Mountains. Everyone began to slow down their pace and look around for high-quality elves.
As they were walking, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the bushes ahead. Fan Sichen's Arcanine stopped and looked at the bushes warily. The ten people behind him also became nervous, wondering if a large wild Pokémon had rushed out. Judging from the momentum of the Pokémon, it must be a powerful Pokémon. If they could subdue it, its strength would definitely increase greatly.
There was a loud "boom" and the ground shook. A thick tree fell down in front of Fan Sichen and the others, and then another tree fell behind them. The two trees surrounded them from the front and the back.
"Oh no! It's an ambush!" Fan Sichen reacted quickly. This was definitely not something a wild Pokémon could do. It was done under the instructions of the trainer.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cow-shaped elf rushed out from the bushes, and a violent collision made the wind speed dog scream and fly backwards. Fan Sichen was still on the elf's back and was thrown away by the collision. However, he reacted very quickly and opened a elf ball in his hand, and a wind fairy jumped out and hugged him.
The wind fairy, who was still flying in the air, was covered in cotton that suddenly expanded and wrapped up Fan Sichen. The expanded cotton acted as a parachute and a cushion. After falling to the ground and bouncing a few times, Fan Sichen stood up safely.
Fan Sichen stood up and saw clearly that it was an Afro-headed Buffalo, a normal Pokémon, huge in size, about 1.6 meters tall even when lying on the ground, and as strong as a small car. This guy rushed forward crazily, just knocking his Wind Speed Dog away, but he did not stop, but continued to rush into the group.
Everyone dodged, someone had already thrown a Poké Ball, Beedrill, Sandslash and Nidorino attacked the crazy Afro-Buffalo at the same time. But as soon as they met, all three Pokémon were knocked away.
Fan Sichen immediately took out his trump card Nidoking, a poison and ground type Pokémon. This was his initial Pokémon, and he finally reached the initial level of master level before graduation. Last year, he was still at the quasi-master level in the college national competition, so he didn't get a very good ranking in the national competition.
At this time, Fan Sichen is full of confidence in Nidoking, which already possesses master-level strength.
