Pokémon World Adventure

"No problem! If Minato, it will be possible!" Sundae gave Minato a firm look and said confidently.

Hello! Girl, where do you get this kind of confidence? The person standing here is just an ordinary trainer! Alas, Minato sighed, leaned down and touched Chizuru's little head, "Don't worry, I will help you find your father!"

It seems that he has been involved in trouble again, but why did Chizuru's father disappear? If there are no clues, there are really all kinds of possibilities. Being attacked by wild elves, being knocked unconscious by some accident, being visited by enemies... are not impossible. How can anyone find it? !

Let’s use the elimination method to narrow down the scope a little. First, we need to know whether he is in the woods or has left the woods and gone somewhere else.

"Chizuru, your father did go into the woods in the morning, right? Didn't he come out later?" Minato asked gently.

"Yeah! Dad has been very busy recently. He went into the woods very early today and brought a lunch box with him. He said that he wanted me to stay at home and he would come back for dinner. Oh, but he never came back." Qianzuru He answered with a tearful tone, trying hard to hold back his tears and trying to be as detailed as possible.

Sundae comforted Chizuru distressedly, while Minato bit his finger and fell into deep thought. Chizuru was still a child, and her words were very direct and simple. She couldn't even tell whether Minato was asking whether he came out in the middle or whether he went home at the end. There was so little information that he could provide. He is very busy at work, brings a lunch box, and promises to come back in the evening. Isn’t this the case for every man?

Minato had no choice but to ask the two women who were chatting around him, "I'm sorry, I heard that Chizuru's father never came out after entering the forest. Is it true? Do you know anything?" Minato said. He asked sheepishly with a smile on his face.

"Huh? Who are you?" the fat lady among them said impatiently.

"I'm Chizuru's friend, haha. I'm here to help." Minato explained.

"Friends of the little girl?" The fat aunt looked at Minato suspiciously, "Forget it, I said you should leave quickly and stop making trouble with the little girl. You won't let anyone calm down at night. Why are everyone in the Maruyama family like this? He can cause trouble. Isn’t Ryousuke a forest ranger? What could happen to him in the forest?”

"That's right, I have to go up the mountain to look for my family member in the dark. What should I do if something happens at night?" The thin aunt on the side said, her tone was extremely dissatisfied, as if she didn't like to see Qianzhe and his daughter on weekdays. two.

Although I think so too, I really want to beat these two people up! Minato suppressed his temper and continued, "Who says it's not the case? Anyway, it's better to find the person quickly and settle the matter. Chizuru's father... by the way, his name is Maruyama Ryosuke, right? Uncle Maruyama has never been out in the woods. ?"

"Who knows, if he does something bad secretly, he can come out from here? The place is so big, won't everyone see him as soon as he comes out from here." The fat lady yawned. He said patiently.

After that, Minato asked a few more questions casually, but he didn't get any key clues. It seemed that these two women only knew so much. Minato was too lazy to continue to pay attention to them, and returned to Sundae while thinking about it.

"How's it going? Do you know anything?!" Sundae asked impatiently.

"Don't make any noise! ​​I didn't see...! No, I mean, there are some leaders, I have to think about it carefully." It's really scary to get used to this thing, so I quickly changed my words in the middle of the conversation and almost didn't get caught by my own Choking on saliva.

"Oh...oh!" Although Sundae wondered why Minato's attitude toward him changed so quickly, he immediately covered his mouth for fear of interrupting Minato's thoughts.

Minato saw that Sundae didn't seem to have any reaction, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to think about Chizuru's father. It seemed that there were no clues now. In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are still many things that can be explored in depth. There is one very important point among them. Chizuru’s father is a ranger!

This alone can rule out a lot of things. At least the possibility of encountering an accident in the woods is very small. Forest rangers are a profession appointed by the alliance. They each maintain the peace and stability of an area. They do not conquer the elves, but live in harmony with the elves within their jurisdiction and help each other. This is somewhat similar to what Mishima did in the rest of his life. thing. Moreover, Maruyama Ryosuke is in his prime, and even if he encounters a disaster like Mishima's, he can probably save himself, not to mention there are countless elves in the forest who will help him.

Also, after Maruyama Ryosuke didn't come back, although the women had a bad attitude towards him, their men were willing to believe that Chizuru went into the forest to find someone at night. This shows that this man is not a bad person, so how could he let his young child go? My daughter is alone at home and running around.

In this case, he suddenly disappeared in the forest without any news being sent back. If it was not a natural disaster, then it was probably man-made! Kidnapping? Seeking revenge? Either way, it seems to be much more serious...

well! Minato hammered his hand in frustration, why were he in such a hurry to leave in the first place? If Sundae and the others had been there when they were looking for someone, they might have found some traces on the spot.

Oh, there won’t be so much trouble now!

"What...what happened?" Sundae asked cautiously.

"Brother, do you know where dad is?" Qianzhe saw tears about to fall again.

What should I say... Your father may have been captured or even killed. Let's go to bed. Are you going to call the police tomorrow? ! Huh? Wait, being captured... kidnapped for revenge... Speaking of which, who is the easiest person to offend as a ranger? In other words, who hates rangers the most?

Poaching gang! ! Yes, yes, I remember everything! Why didn't I think of so many clues? ! Minato patted his thigh and had a more complete guess in his mind.

"Have you thought of it?! Tell us quickly." Sundae saw Minato's sudden realization and knew that he had probably figured it out, so he asked anxiously.

"Um, come here." Minato beckoned Sundae to come closer, and then whispered in her ear, "It's almost as if Chizuru's father encountered a poaching gang and was probably captured! "

"Stealer...!" Sundae dared to scream out, but Minato covered her mouth. Minato turned to Qianhe and told her that it would be better not to let Qianhe know first.

"How come?! Minato, how did you know?" Sundae pulled Minato's hand away and asked softly, imitating Minato.

Is it useful to explain it to you? ! Shouldn't it be time for me to think about where the poaching gang is and hurry to rescue people? Thinking of borrowing money from Sundae in the future, I had the patience to explain to Sundae. "It was just speculation at first, but after I figured it out, I was roughly sure. Remember when I fished for a week and only caught one duck?"

"Well, your fishing skills are really bad, and I keep teasing you."

Haha, am I asking you this? Forget it, you owe me this hand knife! Minato secretly pressed his palm that had grown into a palm, gritted his teeth and continued: "Listen, it's not that my level is poor, it's that there are no other elves around here! Duck elves will lay eggs in April and May, and Pregnant elves are the most prone to anger. In order for the pregnant mothers in the group to give birth smoothly, the male Kodak ducks and Gotha ducks will expel the elves of other races in the lake. The other elves were expelled, and the Kodak ducks It’s impossible to catch fish when you’re busy guarding and giving birth!”

"Oh, but does this have anything to do with the poaching gang?" Sundae asked innocently.

"Fei!...Of course it does matter. Do you know what is the best-selling item on the black market? It's elf eggs! Many entertainment venues and even various competitions will use unknown elf eggs as prizes. Some people want to explore the unknown. People expect good luck, and the price of this thing has always been high! These poaching gangs can sell it for a big price as long as they get the eggs of the ducks and put some makeup on them, and compared to catching wild elves, stealing Not only is it easier to find eggs, but the chance of being discovered is also greatly reduced." Minato explained with a dark face. Not only what he said, but the ducks have very strange habits. They live in the water but choose to lay their eggs and hatch them in the tall grass on the shore. This also gives poachers an opportunity, so Qianhe said This is probably the reason why my father has become very busy recently.

"What you said is just a possibility. Even if there is a poaching gang, how do you know that they captured Qianzhe's father?"

"Haha, Sundae, you are really curious." Minato said with a gentle smile, is this guy really here to save people? This is not Conan Theater! "Let me make it clear. In fact, we have met people from that gang before."

"what?!"

"It's normal that you didn't notice it. After all, I haven't even seen his face. It was the person who made the call at the Pokémon Center before. Didn't I go back and make the call later? I smelled a strong muddy smell in that room. There is also the smell of fresh grass juice! Although trainers in the wild have this smell to some extent, the smell left behind is particularly strong. What would you do first when you came to the Pokémon Center full of stench?"

"Um, take a shower?"

"Yes, it's a shower. But he didn't. Like me, he didn't come to stay but just to make a phone call. Why did such a poaching member who was crawling in and out of the grass suddenly come to the Pokémon Center to make a phone call? I'm afraid it's because they caught a ranger who discovered their poaching, and they are worried about how to solve this big trouble!" Minato's eyes narrowed and he came to a conclusion.

"Wait, wait! It sounds very reasonable, but I always feel that other explanations are feasible in many places." Sundae felt that it was right for a while, and a little far-fetched for a while.

"As long as it sounds reasonable! All kinds of chance will eventually become inevitable, and we don't have the time to pay attention to those details now! Can you save people?"

"but…………"

"No but! Think with me quickly, where those people will be hiding." Minato scolded, how can I continue to write ink now? This is only one chapter, no, it has been dozens of minutes! We must find the hiding place of the poaching group as soon as possible!

So, where are they hiding?
