Chapter 297

"...In other words, you haven't found her these past few days?"

In the room that had returned to calmness from the noise, Filio stood in front of Lilian, who had barely recovered after drinking a large glass of water. His expression was mixed with confusion and solemnity.

Although they usually fight and fight, the twin sisters are indistinguishable from each other. At this moment, Lilian lost her usual calmness, and her sweat-wet hair fell down in strands and stuck to her forehead, looking particularly embarrassed.

Hearing Filio's question, she nodded sadly: "Yes, I couldn't contact her three days ago. We don't usually live together. She has been busy since she came back, but she didn't tell me. What's going on? I've asked all her friends these days, but no one knows where she went."

"So, have you found any clues? Does Caidou know?" Filio nodded, patted Lilian's shoulder as she was about to stand up, and signaled her to calm down, "Don't worry, Speak slowly and analyze little by little. Being impatient at this time is useless."

The calm voice made Lilian's expression calm down slightly, and her trembling hands calmed down slightly. She took a deep breath and took out an envelope from her backpack. It was still slightly damp, as if it was stained by sweat.

"I received a scheduled message from my sister this afternoon. I went to her house again and found this in her desk drawer... That's why I came to find you. No one else has found it yet."

As she spoke, she stretched out her sweaty little hands and handed over the envelope, looking downcast and full of worry about her sister's condition.

"That's why you came to me? Are you saying that I was mentioned in this?"

Philio raised his eyebrows, neatly pulled out the paper inside, spread it out, and browsed every line.

"……what?!"

The content of the letter shocked him, and his face turned ugly. He clenched his hands subconsciously and pinched the soft letter paper into a few shallow creases.

-

[Lillian’s personal message:]

[In Kanto not long ago, I saw many magical things that I had never heard of, and I also saw with my own eyes powerful evil organizations that came from another world. In front of them, I looked very weak. If possible, I really hope to go there as soon as possible. Special training. 】

[I thought everything would be peaceful when I returned to Padea, but this was not the case. 】

[There seemed to be something unusual going on at Cindy’s home. She sent me a distress message and then lost contact.I suspected something bad was going on. 】

[I asked a friend for help and finally found her location. In order not to alert others, I will go alone and try to find out the situation. 】

[If you see this letter, it means that my situation here is not ideal, so you need to ask reliable people to help me as soon as possible. 】

[Fortunately, there are comrades here who have fought alongside me, Philio and Caidou. They are new faces who have never been to Padea. They may be more hidden. They can also seek help from President Yeci. But I'm worried that there will be another side issue. 】

[My location device will provide location information once every morning in the early morning, if it has not expired. 】

[Remember, pay attention to safety. 】

【Vivian, August 8st】

-

"Has it been three days... Who is Cindy? Tell me her situation and her previous location."

While secretly scratching his head at Vivian's insistence on going his own way, Filio calculated the time when the other party lost contact and calmly asked questions.

When he saw her in a hurry earlier, he felt vaguely bad, but he never had the nerve to ask.

Now that something really went wrong, after all, he was a fellow traveler who shared adversity, and he couldn't stand to stand by and watch.

"Ah, yes! I know about Cindy!"

The panicked Lilian hurriedly stood up and explained the situation clearly.

Cindy was a neighbor and friend who grew up with the sisters and lived together in the North when they were children.

Later, the two sisters came to Zhuotai City to study. Although Cindy did not enter school, she came here with her parents, whose company was getting bigger and bigger, and continued the prosperous crystal exploration business.

Today, this company called "Snow Mountain" is one of the top Taijing energy crystal exploration and mining companies in Padia, with dozens of exploration teams.

As early as two years ago, when she had just turned 20, she often complained and was very unhappy because her parents only saw business.

Not long ago, when Vivian went to Kanto to participate in the youth competition, she was worried and came to Lillian's breeding house to tell her about her recent troubles, but Lillian didn't take it seriously at the time.

It wasn't until she saw her sister's letter that she realized that the matter might be more than just a family conflict.

But Vivian, who was poor at speaking, did not tell the whole story clearly. Instead, she pretended to be involved, and ended up with no news.

"Ding Dong"

While Lillian was chirping, the ringtone of her cell phone rang, the clock struck midnight, and a vague location information was also transmitted to her cell phone.

"It's here! It's here! The location has been sent out!"

He hurriedly unlocked the screen and put the phone into Filio's hand. Lillian, who was helpless because she was not good at fighting, looked at the life-saving straw in front of her.

"Huh? It's not in the city, but on the mountain outside of Zhuotai City? Take a look, where is this place?"

Filio frowned as he looked at the positioning signal that was dozens of kilometers away from him.

"This is... this may be an estate owned by Cindy's family in the suburbs. It just has a view of South District 2."

After a quick search on the map, Lilian pointed her finger and crossed the huge lake surrounding Tablet City on three sides, landing right on the edge of South District 2 in the west, beside the hills and huge olive groves.

"So... I didn't think she was such a reckless person when I was in Guan? Why would she rush to such a place rashly? Even if there are no villains, the security force of this kind of company must be very complete."

Gritting his teeth secretly, Filio was also a little entangled in the difficult situation and looked at Lillian helplessly.

"My sister and Cindy have always had a very good relationship...or maybe she is the only good friend my sister has had in so many years."

Lilian looked embarrassed and said quietly after a long time.

"Hey, okay. Vivian is a guy who is very good at seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. She has also helped me and Caidou. I will take care of this matter."

Filio sighed, thrust the phone into Lillian's hand, walked to the closet alone, and rummaged through it neatly without looking back.

"Now go find Caidou. She and Nimo live upstairs next door. Ask Nimo to contact President Yeci immediately to see if we can find a proper solution. Leave the rest to me."

His tone was rare and serious, but it also made Lilian seem to have found her backbone.

"Ah, okay! I'll go right away! What about you?"

"Even the alliance cannot directly enter the private estates of large companies to search. I can do it alone. I will contact Caidou directly later. We have a special channel."

Putting on a thin black windbreaker, Philio neither spoke harshly nor raised his voice. Everything was very dull, only his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"And...if she really encounters trouble as she guessed, in the words of my master, let these people have more memories in their next life. Dream Demon, Tyrannosaurus, let's go!"

"March!"

"Bowman!"

A red light flashed, and the prepared friends returned to the Poké Ball, leaving only Filio leaning on the window edge and crossing sideways.

In mid-air, white light flashed, and the giant dragon appeared again, caught him firmly, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Disappearing with him was the small iron box on the table. Without him noticing, the astute dream demon had put it into the shadow space, within his reach.

There were still traces of the party in the messy room, but Lilian was the only one left standing blankly under the light.

After a while, she came back to her senses, lightly stamped her feet, and ran out without even bothering to straighten the hair on her forehead.

The sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor, echoing the distant sound of the wind.

-

Beyond the hills of the South Second District is one of the world-renowned Ten Scenic Spots of Padea, the Olive Farm.

But unlike tourists from all over the world who can only watch from the watchtower, many wealthy people in the Padia area choose to build a manor in a secluded open space with a wide view in the mountains not far away. In addition to enjoying the scenery, they also Used to show identity.

Especially families like Cindy's Snow Mountain Company, which has just started to make money and is often regarded as a nouveau riche, need a little more taste.

For this reason, three years ago, Cindy's father bought a large independent manor with a good location from a wealthy businessman at a premium, and built a large complex of elegant buildings there, which became a summer vacation spot for the family. The perfect choice for your vacation.

In the dead of night, the Tyrannosaurus landed quietly in the darkness, hiding in the rolling hills and mountains, observing from a distance the manor that was still a little bright, and...

A heavily guarded security team inside and outside the estate.

The outposts were alternately densely covered with outposts, and there were at least dozens of people within the detection range of Filio's super power. There were even more large and small canine Pokémon, and there were even a few hiding in the dark. Iolup, who has super powers and creates a dragnet.

Coupled with the ultra-powerful signal jammer that works from a distance of nearly one kilometer.

With such a scale, it is definitely not the level of team that the boss of a company that has only emerged in recent years would choose to hire. It can even be said that this is not like security, but a gaping abyss, just waiting for challenges that exceed one's capabilities. who come.

But more than this, what really alarmed Philio was a sense of crisis that made his hair stand on end.

Just observing from a distance and sweeping across it with his super-powerful perception, he felt a strange inconsistency from several of them. After careful reflection, it seemed to be related to the future that was struggling to explore in the Sinnoh region. Researcher Shan Liu is somewhat similar.

But it's not exactly the same. The vague sense of time and space repulsion is obviously weaker on these sturdy black-clothed security guards, and can even be ignored, leaving only the slightest difference.

And not everyone, just a small part, mixed in the crowd of people patrolling and standing guard, even more inconspicuous.

"...It seems that Vivian's intuition is still as accurate as ever. Dream Demon, we have to be careful."

Scratching his cheeks that were itchy due to the evening breeze, Filio looked around, his eyes penetrating through the deep night and observing carefully a man in black standing carelessly outside the gate.

"March!"

Dark purple-black energy surged out of the dream demon's body, tightly wrapping himself and Philio.

<divclass="contentadv">Even if he has not yet approached the manor, the shadow trick that combines his own thinking and Gengar's many years of experience has been fully activated.

Even if the most sophisticated thermal imaging camera scans the area, it will not be noticed at all.

The deception method of illusion has been developed to the extreme.

The vigilance of one person and one Pokémon has been raised to the extreme at the same time, which is comparable to the night in the Salo Sanctuary during the weak hours.

"I found Vivian. The girl next to her should be the Cindy she mentioned. We will..."

Leaning down behind a rock, Filio leaned into the dream demon's ear and whispered softly.

After a while, under the dim night scene, everything calmed down, leaving only weak footsteps that quickly disappeared completely.

The tight barrier built with the power of technology and Pokémon silently turned into a broken fishing net riddled with holes.

Deep in the manor, there is a room on the second floor of a well-decorated villa with few decorations, with a weak light still on late at night.

"I didn't expect that your situation here has reached this point. I was too reckless. Not only could I not help you, but..."

With her left arm wrapped in a bandage, Vivian was in good spirits and sat on the sofa. She looked at the blond girl curled up in a ball on her little bed and sighed.

"It's not your fault, Vivian, it's me who should be blamed." The blond girl named Cindy hugged her knees, turned her back to Vivian, looked straight at the wall, and said with a cry, "It's me I didn't realize that things had changed, and by the time I found out, it was too late... too late to tell you."

The delicate body trembled slightly, and the girl who had been raised in a boudoir since childhood let out a low sob.

Compared with the experienced Vivian, Cindy, who has never even attended the Pokémon Academy, is more like a little canary who is called protected by her family but is actually enclosed in an exquisite birdcage.

On weekdays, flowers are blooming and full of the beauty of life, but once the peaceful life becomes turbulent, you will be at a loss.

"Don't worry too much, Cindy, there is still a way." Vivian stepped forward, patted Cindy on the back, straightened her body, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and squeezed out a smile to comfort her. He said, "The positioning system my friend helped modify can break through the signal shielding here. Someone should be here to help us. They are very reliable."

"……Really?"

The weak girl blinked her moist eyes, and her voice contained a hint of hope amid fear.

"I think it's true, although I didn't expect someone as cautious as Vivian to be so reckless."

Before Vivian could answer, a slightly joking voice came from outside the door.

"click"

The locked floor-to-ceiling window moved in response, and after being closed for several days, it opened again, revealing a man dressed in black.

"Filio, you...!"

"Shhh... keep your voice down, there are a lot of people patrolling outside."

When Vivian tried her best to lower her voice but still couldn't suppress her exclamation because she was overjoyed, Filio put his finger in front of his lips, smiled and winked.

"March~"

The little dream demon flew out from behind him, followed by several red and white elf balls, falling from the sky and landing on the carpet in front of Vivian.

Vivian opened her eyes wide: "This is... my Pokémon?"

"Yes, I helped you with it on the way here." Filio nodded, gently closed the door, walked along the wall to the balcony, and tightened the curtains, leaving only a gap, "But, you actually I'm a little surprised that Calabash Boy would do such a stupid thing to save grandpa. And there are actually friends who can help you break through the shielding system to accompany you in your madness..."

"I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. She helped me because I kept asking her."

Vivian hesitated to speak, and finally just lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, it's not Vivian's fault. I asked her not to expand her influence. I originally thought it was my parents... so I wanted her to keep it a secret. By the time I found out... it was already too late."

After gathering her courage, Cindy stood up from the bed, walked timidly to Filio, and tugged on his sleeve.

"I don't mean to blame you. Anyway, with the Dream Demon here, I can come and go quite freely in such a seemingly tight place."

Smiling and shaking his head, Filio patted Cindy on the shoulder. Seeing her restraint and nervousness, he didn't criticize her for anything.

"Then let's take a step first. This is not a good place to talk, let's talk outside. To be honest, I am also quite curious about what private means can break through this blocking system. I am using the equipment of the international police."

"Well, she asked me to keep her identity secret for the time being. Now her situation is more complicated and it is difficult to disclose it."

Vivian looked embarrassed, and there was a rare bit of wonderful complexity written on her face that was not very expressive.

While the two were talking, Cindy, who could not get a word in, was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead. She stamped her feet before stepping forward and bending down hard:

"Fi...Mr. Filio, can you please rescue my parents too...?"

Her courage seemed particularly weak in front of Philio, who was unfamiliar with the subject when they first met her. Halfway through her words, her voice became quieter and quieter, and in the end it was even difficult to hear clearly.

It was Vivian who stood up and finished her words: "Filio, Cindy's parents are probably under the mind control of this group of mysterious people. I don't know where they are now."

"Mind control? Are you sure you're not seeking skin from a tiger because you want to make a fortune?"

Philio raised his eyebrows, doubting the authenticity of these words.

The Hezhong merchant in Salo had learned the lesson from the past. He was particularly vigilant about such things and did not want to create any complications.

After all, the fundamental purpose of his coming here is just to save his trapped friends, and everything else is just adding risk.

But this time, Cindy's tone was very firm, as if grasping the last life-saving straw, she held Filio's hand tightly and prayed:

"I promise, they are really under control! It's just... I thought the same thing as you at first, but when I was put under house arrest by them, I discovered a woman I had never seen before, and a... Shield Sword Monster. Please, help me!"

"Woman... the Shield Sword Monster..." Filio scratched his head and said in a complicated tone, "It was really a narrow road for enemies. I didn't expect that one Claire died and another one ran out for me."

"Claire? You mean the person from Team Flare? Are they here too?"

Compared with Cindy, who has little experience, Vivian is obviously more aware of the importance, and her eyes are a little more solemn.

"Champion Daigo told me this a few months ago. It seems that after Carlos ran away like a lost dog, this group of people came here. Snow Mountain Company... they want the crystallization of Taijing energy. ?"

Filio lightly traced his chin with his fingertips, and he smelled a hint of conspiracy.

After many days, by chance, he finally found the clues of this deeply hidden organization again.

"Sorry, I don't know either..."

Cindy shook her head blankly. She was not very clear about the intersection between her parents and these people.

"That's it, it doesn't matter, I will help." Filio made a silent gesture, walked to the window, looked around vigilantly, and lowered his already low voice again, "I can't do this alone. Come, you need to wait for the alliance’s support. They will arrive soon.”

"Eh? But isn't there...?"

Cindy looked confused. First, Vivian's modified positioning system, and now Philio was able to break through the interference.

Philio smiled and said nothing, pointing to the small instrument on his waist.

In the field of interference and counter-interference, there is no organization more expert than the International Police and Kanto Alliance.

Philio and Caidou, who were investigating for them, would naturally not treat them badly.

Filio hid by the window, observing the patrols outside through the gap.

At this time, they were on a routine inspection, walking around the villa, looking at the lights in the room and talking in low voices.

The impregnable defense system gave them full confidence, and the duty station located at the deepest part of the manor inevitably made them feel slack. Some people even talked about the appearance of the two girls in the house, with many disgusting and obscene remarks.

As everyone knows, everything is already under the control of Philio's superpower.

Cold eyes swept across the backs of the crowd. Behind them were Cindy, who was in shock, and Vivian, who had taken off the bandage on her left arm and was ready to fight.

The dream demon's figure poked out from the shadows and nodded slightly.

"It's almost time. Get ready to go. Don't be nervous. With the dream demon's shadow trick, you won't be exposed if you don't make a sound. Vivian, remember to take good care of her and change her shoes to flat ones to avoid falling."

After thinking for a moment, Philio made a few gestures and said softly.

"After I send you out, I will come back to find her parents. I guess they are in the villa in the middle... After all, I have already felt the stomach-churning psychic energy."

Just as Philio went deep into the tiger's den and rescued the two people from danger, Yeci also appeared at the Padia Alliance headquarters in Table City, accompanied by Nemo and Caidou.

The elite team that has been on standby at the headquarters for a long time and is directly subordinate to the president of the alliance has been assembled.

Under the cover of darkness, several aircraft quietly took off, passing over the city, crossing lakes and hills, and heading straight to the west.
