Chapter 157 Is the matter resolved?
Luther hesitated for a moment, looked at the horrifying scene before him, and then shook his head.
It shouldn't be the Swampert that stunned him and the Mosquito Coil Swimmer at school and then escaped.
After all, the swamp monster's "earthquake" only stunned him and broke the school's floor tiles.
But the "Earthquake" unleashed by this Special Investigator's Swampert, that's what you call a real earthquake.
He might feel that these two scenes are somewhat familiar, but it's probably just his imagination.
Long Ze stood on Charizard's back, and seeing that Lu An had already dealt with all the Gyarados, he signaled Charizard to descend.
Out of a sense of responsibility as an investigator, he first moved Luther and the others, who were still immersed in the shock of the "earthquake," to a safe area.
Many participants in a fishing competition were gathered there.
Longze even saw several Officer Jennys and their partners, Growlithe.
The "earthquake" caused by Swampert not only knocked out all the remaining Gyarados, but also made Officer Jenny and the others feel the strong tremors.
Therefore, the crowd, which had just been calmed down, now seemed somewhat restless again.
"Miss Officer Jenny."
Longze descended from the sky, catching Luther and the others off the back of the Charizard, and headed towards Officer Jenny.
Officer Jenny, who was maintaining order and setting up a cordon, was already quite nervous because of the "earthquake" that had just happened. She thought the tremor was caused by the Gyarados, so her pretty face was tense.
Upon seeing Long Ze and his men descend from the sky, they were horrified:
"Who are you, and why did you come from the direction of Yuanshan Lake?"
Ryuzawa took out his investigator's badge:
“Miss Officer Jenny, don’t be nervous. I’m an investigator. Before you arrived, I had already rescued two groups of people and brought them here.”
Hearing Long Ze's words and glancing at the seemingly genuine identification, Officer Jenny relaxed slightly.
"Are you an investigator?"
Officer Jenny, wearing a police hat, looked at the young-looking Ryuzawa:
"Since you're an investigator and came from the direction of Lake Faruzan, you must know the current situation there very well, right? How are those Gyarados doing now? Are they still causing trouble?"
Long Ze smiled slightly:
"No, our top investigator has already dealt with all the Gyarados."
Officer Jenny was taken aback, then overjoyed:
"Special Investigator? Is that Lance? Was that Lance's Dragon-type Pokémon fighting a group of Gyarados just now?"
Long Ze didn't care that Officer Jenny had guessed the wrong person, after all, Mr. Dragon Crossing's reputation was indeed far greater than that of others.
It's normal that Officer Jenny isn't part of their system and doesn't know much about the other investigators.
Long Ze shook his head, offering no further explanation:
"Just follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and gestured for Officer Jenny and the others to follow.
To show that Lake Farmountain was now completely safe, he even recalled the Charizard beside him into its Poké Ball.
Still somewhat skeptical, Officer Jenny, along with some of her officers, followed Long Ze toward the lake.
When they were still a few hundred meters away from Yuanshan Lake, Officer Jenny and her officers had already noticed something amiss.
What should have been flat land is now riddled with crisscrossing ravines.
What should have been a forest is now a mess of fallen trees, their roots exposed in a horrifying manner.
This made Officer Jenny cover her mouth involuntarily:
"Is this all caused by Gyarados's rampage? It's terrifyingly destructive."
Long Ze, who was leading the way, froze.
If he remembered correctly, the Gyarados attacks hadn't reached this area before Swampert used Earthquake.
In other words, these appalling conditions were likely not caused by Gyarados, but by Swampert and other monsters like Luant...
"Ahem, you'll see when you get to the lake."
Out of consideration for his idol's image, Long Ze did not voice his guess. Instead, he quickly led Officer Jenny and the others to the lakeside.
After Officer Jenny and the others arrived at the lakeside, Growlithe suddenly started barking incessantly.
This made Officer Jenny and the others, who were already on edge, even more nervous.
What came into Officer Jenny's view were four huge ice blocks floating on the lake, and in the middle of the ice blocks were four pairs of enormous eyes.
The owners of these four pairs of pupils were frozen in ice with fierce and arrogant expressions. Officer Jenny was so close that she could even see the iridescent light reflected from their fur and scales.
Their expressions were so lifelike that Officer Jenny suspected it was the work of a master ice sculptor.
However, this is of course impossible.
In other words, these four ice blocks, which are comparable to ice sculptures, actually contain four genuine Gyarados!
Officer Jenny looked at the enormous block of ice so close to her, which was a head taller than her even when lying down, and couldn't help but swallow.
What kind of power is needed to freeze all four Gyarados so effortlessly?
It even prevents them from breaking through the ice?
Is this the Special Investigator that Ryuzawa mentioned?
“Miss Officer Jenny…”
Just as Officer Jenny was still preoccupied with the four chilled Gyarados, the trembling voices of the officers caught her attention.
As Officer Jenny turned her head, her pupils contracted again.
Beside her, the Growlithe, which had been barking incessantly at the ice, suddenly stopped barking, and a faint whimper could even be heard from its throat.
Not far from the four ice blocks, there was a crack that looked like an insurmountable chasm.
This crack extends from the shore of Yuanshan Lake for over a hundred meters, and there are also crisscrossing smaller cracks around it.
On the other side of the crack, nine Gyarados were lined up, lying horizontally on the shore in a "lllllllll" pattern.
Not only that, the perpetrator also had the rather perverse pleasure of opening the mouths of all nine Gyarados and pulling their tongues out.
Looking at the Gyarados, which could dominate any area at any time, there were now nine of them lying on the ground in such a comical way, with a crack wider than themselves next to them.
Officer Jenny and her officers remained silent.
Is this something a human being could do?
Just then, one of the nine Gyarados suddenly moved its head, startling Officer Jenny and the others, who immediately became alert.
Longze, looking excited, released Charizard once again, which nimbly flew from one side of the crack to the other.
Seeing Long Ze's actions, Officer Jenny and the others quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
As the Gyarados's head was turned in a different direction, a Swampert emerged from under its head.
Beside the Swamp Monster, another handsome man, who looked to be about the same age as Ryuzawa, also appeared.
"Top Grade!"
