"The case involving the smuggling of Mt. Coronet minerals and river pollution, involving Hita from Blackgear City in the Sinnoh region, Nick from Nohara City, and Ryoma from Raven City in the Unova region, has resulted in the arrest of all sixty individuals."
Shocked, Hansen did not forget his mission. After tying the criminals together with rope, he contacted the police station in Flower Garden and the other Interpol officers in charge of the cleanup.
The Alliance security personnel will arrive here in about several tens of minutes.
Those who deserve the death penalty should be executed, and those who deserve to go to jail should go to jail. These guys who smuggled precious minerals across regions had already sealed their fate the moment they violently resisted arrest.
On the other side, unlike the still dutiful buzz-cut detective, Officer Jenny, whose eyes were filled with images of farm owners, had already come to greet them.
"Baiye, when did you catch Zapdos and Darkrai?!"
She gently took Bai Ye's arm, her beautiful eyes almost touching his face, filled with a look that said, "I'm so curious, tell me quickly."
It's no wonder that the policewoman completely lost her composure under normal circumstances; after all, anyone would be unmoved if they saw two divine beasts and a phantom beast at the same time.
Although many legendary Pokémon are not unique, they are not as common as Pikachu, which are as numerous as stray dogs on the roadside. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to capture them and gain their approval.
What's more, the farmer in front of us doesn't just have one, but an astonishing three!
At this moment, facing Miss Officer Jenny's beautiful, sparkling eyes, Bai Ye did not choose to hide anything.
"Zetzart was captured at the Valley Power Plant in Flower Garden Town... As for Darkrai, that guy's situation is complicated."
Because they were so close, Bai Ye could easily feel the high, firm, soft breasts—even though the policewoman was wearing a not-so-thin casual outfit, the wonderful elasticity of her breasts still caused them to surge up the moment her elbow touched his, and he could vaguely smell the sweet and refreshing scent of her breasts.
"Hoo-choo~"
With a flap of its wings still crackling with electricity, Zapdos glanced at its trainer.
The battle just now wasn't enough for her to vent her energy; she needed to find a better way.
Darkrai blinked her beautiful crimson eyes, and her smile suddenly froze as she looked at the policewoman clinging to Bai Ye's arm, turning completely gloomy and terrifying.
Another human trying to take over a small fry's master. So annoying! Ugh, so annoying! I guess I still have to keep my trainer locked up at night and drain him so much he can't get out of bed!
Noticing the two meaningful gazes, Bai Ye felt his eyelids twitching violently for no apparent reason.
Hmm... I have a feeling that this blonde, veiled bird girl and the white-haired yandere are secretly plotting some kind of scheme to exploit the trainers.
After a short rest, Bai Ye did not forget the ultimate purpose of his visit to the steel plant—to find a place to discharge wastewater and completely solve the source of pollution in the river.
"Mini~"
"Sure enough, it's a bunch of Muddy migrating here!"
Compared to Miss Skirt beside her, who was already covering her nose, Bai Ye sighed softly.
The steel plant itself had been abandoned for many years, and its wastewater treatment facilities were old and even unusable. In addition, the criminal gang that smuggled minerals would only use the ore mined from Tianguan Mountain for smelting, and would not care at all whether the wastewater generated would damage the environment. This is why the current situation exists.
Chapter 159 You are my destined one.
"簌~"
Suijun stood atop the azure water lily, gazing silently at the steel mill that had returned to silence in the distance.
To be honest, even though the farmer had a unique appearance and demeanor, it wasn't enough to make her secretly follow him like a lovesick woman for so long. More than anything, she couldn't help but be attracted by the qualities he displayed.
Rescuing poisoned wild Pokémon on the riverbank, tirelessly working to purify the water, and decisively taking action against those who pollute the river.
From any perspective, he seems to be a trustworthy and reliable person.
As the crystal-clear white mist enveloped the surroundings, this elegant messenger of the north wind strode forward along the babbling brook.
On the other side, at the sewage outlet outside the steel plant, the wastewater flowed away.
"Mud~"
"I see. So you moved here specifically because your previous place became too clean?"
With the help of the power of waveguide translation, Bai Ye nodded in understanding after communicating with the swarm of Mud in front of him.
Compared to the previous game setting where Pokémon mostly jumped out of the grass, in the real Pokémon world, different wild Pokémon have very different environmental requirements.
For example, the mimosa prefers to live by clear ponds, the bronze mirror monster likes to lie in ancient tombs, and the grim grime creatures prefer to live in smelly and dirty environments.
In recent years, due to the requirements of the alliance, towns and cities of all sizes in various regions have carried out large-scale sanitation improvements, such as cleaning streets, centralizing garbage disposal, and treating urban sewage.
While this can create a good ecological environment for many Pokémon, it also causes certain drawbacks.
At least for Pokémon like Muk and Rumble, who love dirt and filth, the transformation of habitable, filthy places into spotless streets and flower-filled parks has obviously caused them considerable trouble.
"Miss Officer Jenny, are there any landfills or large sewage treatment plants nearby?"
After thoroughly understanding the situation, Bai Ye turned his gaze to the policewoman standing to the side.
To get these wild Mudskippers out of here, we shouldn't fight them to drive them away and force them to submit. Instead, we need to put ourselves in their shoes and find them a better habitat. Only then can we truly address both the symptoms and the root cause of the problem.
"Let me take a look," Officer Jenny said swiftly, searching the Alliance Police Department's database and finding a suitable place to live for the kids. "Perhaps moving to Blackgold City would be more suitable than Flower Garden Town."
At this point, the policewoman even found several representative pictures to explain.
"Because of the large amount of coal buried deep underground in Blackpink City, many large coal-burning factories are located there. Among them, the large sewage storage pond built by the Blackpink City Gym happens to be a very good place to be."
"mud!!!"
Looking at the pictures on the policewoman's communicator, at the sewage outlet fence, the piles of smelly mud stacked like small mountains all looked on with shining eyes.
The black coal and murky wastewater clearly showed that these smelly little guys were probably eager to move over there as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Bai Ye and Miss Officer Jenny couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
After helping the Mudfish find a suitable future home, the farmer looked at the still murky and smelly lake.
Although he had already dealt with the smuggling gangs involved in smelting ore and cut off the source of pollution, the tasks assigned by the system were not yet completed.
If you want to purify this toxic and polluted water, the most common method is to release a group of Pokémon with the "Sludge" ability, such as Tentacruel and Venom, and Sliceboom and Devourer.
For these Pokémon, the toxic sludge water not only does not harm them, but also restores their stamina after they absorb it.
With Zapdos's [Electro Gun] and [Thunder] moves, high-voltage current seems to be quite helpful in purifying the water. However, before the river becomes clear, the fish and Pokémon living near the water will probably be paralyzed by the electric current first.
"Shh~"
Just as Bai Ye was pondering how to purify the water, Gardevoir, who was quietly guarding her trainer with her slender hands folded over her lower abdomen, frowned and keenly sensed the strangeness around her.
At this moment, layers of soft, gauze-like white mist surged in, coating the entire forest with a mysterious hue.
"That's...Suicune?"
Interrupted by Gardevoir's gentle murmur, Bai Ye looked up and saw the same breathtaking scene before him.
As the crystal-clear water curtain split in two, a figure appearing on the ripples of the water appeared as if in a dream.
"簌~"
"I am not wrong, right?!"
"North, it's a north wind, there's no mistake... I've only ever seen it in the encyclopedia before."
The security personnel who happened to be there to finish up also stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Even though they had never seen it in person before, just from the hazy, mysterious, translucent blue mist and the elegant figure shimmering with crystalline light, they could instantly recall the name of this divine beast—a legendary member of the Phoenix King's guard, the messenger of the North Wind, and the guardian of water.
Name: Suijun
[Attribute: Water]
[Gender: Female]
[Level: lv70]
【Characteristic: Pressure (Inflicts pressure on the opponent, causing them to expend more stamina during activities)】
[Skills: Meditation, Roar, Tailwind, Super Spell, Surf, Mirror Image, Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Scald, Icy Wind, Substitute, Roar, Mist]
[Equipped Affixes: None]
In ancient legends, the Water God is undoubtedly a synonym for purity and nobility.
Similar to Articuno and Zapdos, Suicune is also classified as a second-tier legendary Pokémon. Its whereabouts are unpredictable, and it often travels around the world in search of places with flowing clear water. It is said that only trainers with pure hearts can encounter it.
And whenever the cool, refreshing north wind blows, they will also appear, restoring the sewage to its former clarity.
It seems that Suikun came here to purify this polluted river?
"簌~"
However, to the surprise of Officer Jenny, Hansen, and all the security personnel present, the mythical beast that came with the north wind paid no attention to the sewage beside it. Instead, it walked gracefully and holyly to the farmer.
After pausing and gazing for a moment, Suijun lowered her head slightly, and her blue gemstone-like headdress gently touched Baiye's forehead. A telepathic connection that only the two of them could hear then resounded.
Unlike the previously expressionless and heartless Ugly Fish, and unlike the aloof and cold demeanor she felt when she first met Darkrai, the white-haired yandere, she was more like a goddess descended to earth, noble and elegant, ruthless yet more affectionate than others.
Are you the destined one I've been searching for?
Chapter 160 Conclusion
At that moment, upon meeting those beautiful eyes that rippled with emotion, the farmer was momentarily stunned.
Although it hasn't been gender-swapped yet, Suicune in its Pokémon form is just as pure and innocent as a goddess, fresh and refined.
A shimmering, azure gemstone adorned her forehead, and a white ribbon fluttered around her, accentuating her graceful figure. If one were to get too close, like Bai Ye, one could faintly smell a delicate fragrance.
Unlike the usual cool fragrance, it has a subtle aroma, as if it has been moistened by clear water.
"Speaking what should be said but not saying it" truly makes it a synonym for clarity and purity.
But why does this scene look so much like a Pokémon version of "Are you my Master?"
[Master? Is that a new Pokémon?]
"Ok?"
Upon hearing that ethereal and tranquil female voice resonate in his mind, Bai Ye exclaimed in surprise.
Even though he hadn't used his wave-guiding power to transmit it, this messenger of the North Wind was able to hear his own thoughts.
[I apologize, I had no intention of delving into your thoughts. However, you may be the destined master foretold by the Phoenix King, and given our shared feelings, I can roughly understand some of your thoughts.]
"I see."
Bai Ye nodded, then waved his hand to indicate that he didn't take it to heart.
Fortunately, it was just this gentle and elegant messenger of the North Wind, like a goddess.
If it were Darkrai, that white-haired yandere, or Gardevoir, that infatuated lady, they would probably want to be in perfect harmony with their trainers at all times, spying on and monitoring every thought of their trainers.
At this moment, Shui Jun, who was closely observing Bai Ye, blinked her beautiful eyes, a faint look of confusion appearing between her brows.
Compared to the security personnel not far away, all of whom were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes, the farmer's attire was clearly out of place, with short sleeves and shorts, as if he lived in summer.
[Your clothes are far too thin; don't you feel cold?]
"Hmm, that won't happen~"
Noticing the calm yet subtly concerned look in Shui Jun's eyes, Bai Ye smiled calmly.
Because the system level has been upgraded to level three and now contains eight different entries, coupled with the enhancement of master-level aura power, his physical abilities are far superior to before, probably not inferior to the super rookies in anime from his previous life.
"Of course, the weather here in Sinnoh has been quite cold lately."
As he replied softly, Bai Ye also glanced at the cold current surging through the trees not far away and sighed unconsciously.
Since his experience with the last cold wave, he has been checking the weather forecast every day.
According to forecasts released by Bubble Weather, the average temperature in the Sinnoh region this year is 2 degrees Celsius lower than in previous years, and the difference is even greater in the northernmost city of Seirin, reaching an astonishing 4 degrees Celsius, which can be described as an extremely abnormal weather phenomenon.
Thinking of this, the farmer suddenly realized the real reason why Sukun had appeared there.
"The weather is getting colder, I guess it's because the northerly winds have become more frequent lately, right?"
[Indeed, you are indeed a learned and knowledgeable person—]
Contrary to the common perception among trainers, Suicune's true and only title is the embodiment of the North Wind, responsible for monitoring the movements of the North Wind. Purifying water is merely her ability, not her true divine duty.
The recent excessive frequency and activity of cold northerly winds have also caught the attention of this northerly wind messenger.
Unfortunately, despite traveling to various places in Northeast China and Tokyo, I was unable to find a solution to the abnormal weather.
Suijun raised his head to look at the trembling branches and leaves in the shade of the trees, and frowned slightly.
If the problem of rampant northerly winds cannot be resolved, it will not only result in localized cold weather, but will also lead to large-scale ecological damage and imbalance, triggering a series of major disasters.
[The best solution would naturally be to seek Ho-Oh's help, but she is extremely difficult to find. Only by combining the power of two other legendary Pokémon, the Clear Bell, and a trainer with a sufficiently upright and pure heart can she be summoned from the Bell Tower in Ecruteak City.]
[And you, the prophesied Lord, are you willing to offer your help?]
At this point, Shui Jun stared intently at the farmer in front of him.
