Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 62: Meet Ma Zhishi Again

After Lin Xiaoxiao used his superpowers to search the entire secret room, he quickly found a passage.

After ordering Gardevoir to destroy the surrounding traceable factors and the fighting aura of all types except the ghost type, and after putting several Gastlys trembling by the wall into Poké Balls, Lin Xiaoxiao and Gardevoir began to leave the scene along this passage.

Soon, they seemed to have come to another secret room, but it seemed to be a huge library. Lin Xiaoxiao used her superpowers to carefully sense a book.

It was quickly deduced that this should be the collection of the witches' books, which generally included spells, formations, and other miscellaneous things.

However, there are too many books, and Lin Xiaoxiao's space backpack cannot hold them all, which makes Lin Xiaoxiao a little troubled.

Since you can't take everything, take the important ones.

As Lin Xiaoxiao's superpowers spread, she soon discovered that there was a secret switch at the bottom of the bookshelf in the center, but there seemed to be a special secret method added to it, as if someone's blood was required to open the switch.

So Lin Xiaoxiao returned to the secret room and took some blood from the old man. Soon, the secret method on the switch was broken. When the switch was turned on, a book slowly popped out.

It was written "The Complete Collection of Sealing Techniques". The book looked very simple and was made of parchment. Lin Xiaoxiao followed the formulas and gestures on it and tried a few, but found that there was no movement at all. It was probably because her soul could not be recognized by this world.

However, the tools you have may be of use.

After throwing this important book into the backpack, Lin Xiaoxiao also selected other books that might be useful. After filling the backpack, Lin Xiaoxiao did not stay here for too long.

When he came out, he had already come out of a small room in a huge luxurious villa. He used his superpowers to sense and found that there was no one in the villa. It seemed that the old guy must have listened to his advice, perhaps to calm his mind.

Although a few seeds of little witches might be left behind, Lin Xiaoxiao believed that her mother would never place her young children in the world of adults unless the environment became extremely bad.

On a silent night, Lin Xiaoxiao left Ziyuan Town quietly.

When a ray of morning sunlight shone on the land of Ziyuan Town, people were extremely surprised. Local people came to the temple built for the witches and began to burn incense and make offerings.

On the first day, when the people of Lavender Town did not see the priestess in town, they thought they were still in the Pokémon Tower taking care of other things.

No one found the body lying in the basement. The children of the witch had no choice but to live in the dormitory provided by the school. Of course, they also enjoyed the treatment like VIPs.

On the second day, people began to feel a little confused, but no one asked about it.

It wasn't until the third day that a naughty child accidentally broke into the Pokémon Tower. While exploring, he found the entrance to the underground. Then, people began to realize it after hearing the crying of a little kid.

Lin Xiaoxiao has arrived in Kuye City in these three days. He did not come to ask for the gym badge, but to borrow Ma Zhishi's name to catch a ride to other areas, mainly to avoid the limelight.

After getting in touch with Instructor Viper again, Lin Xiaoxiao teleported the Poké Ball containing the King Scorpion to another member of Team Rocket through the Pokémon Center's teleportation device.

Just as he was about to leave the Pokémon Center, the Pokémon Center's central large-screen TV broadcast the following news:

"Recently, it's time to seal the spirits in Lavender Town again. In order to protect the residents from ghost Pokémon, the Miko Clan tried their best and finally ended the thousand-year-long fate - they successfully sealed the source of the ghosts. But the sad news is that almost all of the Miko Clan died heroically in this sealing. Only their children who have not yet grown up were left. The leader of the Miko Clan, Elder Lingzi, did not forget to stretch out her pale arms to the tunnel entrance at the end, which shows how worried she is about the children's future. I hope these children can be taken care of by the league officials and all walks of life. The children of heroes should live in the sun."

Looking at the people in the hall who were plunged into sorrow, Lin Xiaoxiao almost couldn't hide the smile on her face. She thought to herself: Those children won't be short of money. Also, the hand that the old man named Lingzi stretched out was clearly pointing at her and cursing at her.

In order not to expose unnecessary things, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked out of the Pokémon Center.

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's hurried back, people thought that he could no longer conceal his sadness and went outside to cry loudly.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, Lin Xiaoxiao found a corner and neatly changed into a human skin mask, then headed to the Dead Leaf Gym.

"Long time no see, Muramasa, how have you been lately?"

"Not bad. I came here this time to ask you to do me a favor."

Ma Zhishi raised his eyebrows and said, "I can help you with anything, but it has to be within my ability."

"Of course I won't make it difficult. I just want to borrow your name to take a ride to the Johto region. After all, you also know that the secret realm will be opened in a year, and I need to improve my strength, but I don't want the people in the base to know. This will cause a lot of trouble."

After hearing what Lin Xiaoxiao said, Ma Zhishi patted his sturdy chest, put his arm around Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulders and said, "Well, I'm a little short of money to take care of the underground base recently. Can I..."

"Tell me, how much do you want?"

This number, Ma Zhishi said, stretching out a finger.

"One hundred thousand?"

Ma Zhishi shook his head and said, "How could you think that I was someone who took advantage of others' misfortune? You look down on me too much."

After saying this, Ma Zhishi turned his head away, indicating that he didn't want to bother with Lin Xiaoxiao.

"Then I'll give you 10 yuan, do you want it?"

Ma Zhishi turned his head immediately and nodded repeatedly, saying yes.

Lin Xiaoxiao asked him to take out the money-swiping machine without saying a word. She didn't know if this guy often cheated people or what, but he took out a POS machine from behind, and Lin Xiaoxiao swiped 10 Alliance Coins on it.

The guy wrote himself a letter of introduction and his own business card with great enthusiasm, saying that if he wanted to go to other areas, he only needed to show these things to the crew and the crew would take him to other areas.

Sure enough, the American image of Ma Zhishi is that of a true capitalist.
