Chương 64: Even a hunter needs to read more.

"Ha, that's why I told you to read more books and stop spending all your time fighting and killing."

Hunter A sneered, stopped what he was doing, and turned around to look at Hunter J as if he were an idiot.

"Regirok is a pure Rock-type Pokémon, and its body structure is completely different from other Pokémon. Your petrification gun will only polish it."

"Moreover, it's only in a semi-dormant state right now, not completely shut down. If you fire that shot and anger it, we'll all be crushed into mincemeat in an instant."

"Huh? That short guy inside who's only 1. 5 meters tall?"

Hunter J pointed exaggeratedly to the depths of the cave entrance, where a small, indistinct figure could be seen, his face full of disbelief:

"I feel like my Salamence could knock it all the way to the other side of the mountain with a single headbutt."

"Knocked away? Forget it."

Hunter A rolled his eyes, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world:

"If it were Hydreigon, that would be more like it, but your newly evolved Salamence? It probably couldn't even withstand one of its rockfall attacks."

After saying that, he ignored J's clamor and continued to focus on adjusting the values on the machine, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

The reason why legendary Pokémon are legendary is entirely due to their strength.

Even the weakest gear starts at a near-king level.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the stone inside is only at the level of a Quasi-Ultraman because it is in a dormant state.

Once awakened, it can instantly absorb the surrounding rocks to rebuild its body, and its strength will soar to the Heavenly King level or higher.

"I've been preparing for this moment for a long time..."

Hunter A watched the dial gradually turn red, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

What he is doing now is using a specially made high-pressure permeation device to poison the rocks within a radius of tens of meters.

When Regirock awakens and subconsciously absorbs rocks to restore its strength and rebuild its body, the deadly poison will directly invade its core through the rocks.

This is a neurotoxin from a Champion-level Arbok, obtained at a high price from the black market in the Kanto region.

One gram is worth 100, 000 yuan, and he bought a whole kilogram, emptying his working capital.

But this deal was absolutely worth it!

......

Eight minutes later.

hum!

A ring of transparent ripples, barely perceptible to the naked eye, spread through the air.

Without any warning, without even a ripple in the wind, the figure of Gadriya carrying Lu Sha appeared out of thin air above the foot of Tianguan Mountain, as if cut and pasted directly from the world.

Instant teleportation.

A super-powered divine skill.

Hidden, silent, and a hundred meters in an instant.

The only limitation is that continuous use consumes a lot of energy, but other than that, it has no weaknesses.

But your weakness is the lack of superpowers, not the weakness of teleportation.

Cattleya hovered a hundred meters in the air. At this height, which was like a god looking down, she closed her eyes slightly, and her immense spiritual power spread out silently like a tide.

Three seconds later, she opened her eyes.

In his indifferent eyes, the figures of the hunters and Cynthia seemed to be reflected:

「下方一共6个人类， 7只宝可梦， 其中职业级3只、道馆级2只、还有2只准天王。 」 At the level of Cattleya, as long as the opponent is exposed to the air, even if they are hiding behind cover, they are no different from a person who is invisible within a hundred meters.

"Click! (It seems the enemy isn't strong.)" Lu Sha was completely relieved.

Cattleya can use her superpowers to sense bio-energy levels.

Since no reaction from a Champion-level being was sensed, it means that the Regirock sleeping in the cave currently only has energy fluctuations at the Quasi-Champion level.

Either Cynthia's information is wrong, or Regirock is in deep hibernation, his bodily functions are compressed to the minimum, and he has not yet entered activation mode.

As for the other near-Elite Four level, it is undoubtedly the Hunter Leader's trump card.

Given the hunter's usual habits, the Pokémon released at such a crucial moment, even if not the strongest one they have, won't be too far off.

A week ago, this lineup would have been quite challenging.

But now?

Lu Sha glanced at her expressionless young lady.

Sorry, the version has been updated.

"Shall we make our move now?" Cattleya asked softly.

Cattleya asked softly, her tone as calm as if she were asking what she wanted for dinner.

In her current perception, the tall, thin hunter who was fiddling with the machine was not strong; his own strength was even inferior to Wusong's.

If she wanted, she could hypnotize someone in a second.

The only thing worth noting was the somewhat fierce-looking quasi-elite scyther next to that person.

But that's all that's worth noting.

"Click! (Why are you in such a hurry to kill them? We haven't even seen the employer. We're mercenaries with professional ethics; we have to consider the client's needs.)" Lu Sha chuckled mischievously and stopped Cattleya, who was preparing to clear the area.

They weren't heroes; Cynthia paid them to help her.

You can only get things done if you meet your employer.

"good!"

Cattleya nodded gently, having no objection to Lu Sha's decision.

The next second, their figures blurred again and disappeared into the sky.

hum!

Almost at the same instant, she appeared in front of Cynthia.

"!!!!!!"

Even Cynthia's heart skipped a beat when faced with this sudden, unexpected teleportation.

Lucario, who had been on guard nearby, reacted much faster. Almost the instant the spatial fluctuations appeared, he instantly moved to protect Cynthia, his bone club already taking shape.

"Your Pokémon is pretty good!"

Cattleya spoke softly, seemingly observing Cynthia, but her words were actually a compliment to Lucario.

Instead, Lu Sha nestled in her arms, sizing up Lucario.

There's nothing we can do; the young lady simply doesn't like socializing.

At times like this, he's the only one who can stand up for himself.

"Phew... Thank you for the compliment. But your appearance was so sudden, I almost thought the hunter had arrived."

Cynthia patted her chest with lingering fear; in Lu Sha's eyes, it was nothing special.

"They're all focused on poisoning the rocks, so they don't have time to observe other places. Besides, this is at the foot of Tianguan Mountain, so they're not worried about anyone coming," Cattleya repeated Lu Sha's words.

"You seem much more cheerful than before. You're talking more." Cynthia was a little surprised.

In her memory, Cattleya was always self-centered and wouldn't say such explanatory things.

On the contrary, the Gible named Lu Sha often says some very human things.

But today the gible seemed unusually docile. Was it because it was its first time in such a dangerous place?

"You didn't send me here just to chat, did you?"

Cattleya frowned slightly; this was not a repetition.

She disliked the way Cynthia looked at Lu Sha and didn't want to waste time chatting.

"Of course not."

Cynthia shook her head, quickly regaining her composure, and pointed to the cave in the distance:

"You've seen the situation. I need your help to drive away those hunters; the reward is the top-grade Dragon Fang I just mentioned."

Top-grade dragon fangs are very precious, but in her opinion, some things cannot be measured by money.

Legendary Pokémon are one example, as are those that help Pokémon escape from hunters.

She doesn't force others to agree with her, but she will see things through to the end.
