Chapter 125 Defeat, New Decision
To Hunter J's somewhat stunned and Shigeru's somewhat surprised gaze, the Skarmory, which had been lurking in the forest, soared into the sky, its body covered in a white light. All its power was concentrated on its sharp beak, and it pierced through the helicopter at top speed.
"boom--"
The explosion lit up the sky, and two figures fell from above, only to be grabbed by the armored bird.
.......
"You even thought of that?"
Shigeru looked at Satoshi with some surprise and asked him this.
"No... I originally hid the Skarmory to prevent Hunter J from escaping, but I didn't expect to gain something else."
Xiao Zhi scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
He hadn't expected Hunter J's employer to come and pick up the goods on-site. If he had known this would happen, he would have sent Staraptor and Skarmory to hide as well. Now that Skarmory was exposed, Hunter J's situation was probably...
"Salamander's Devastating Beam! Dragon's Fin Missiles continue to cover the entire field!"
Seeing that things had come to this point, Hunter J decided not to stay any longer and sent her two Pokémon to fight with all their might.
"Electric Beast, use Thunder!"
"Pikachu, use—"
"boom!"
Gary gave the order to defend against the attack, and just as Ash was about to send Pikachu and Staraptor to stop Hunter J, Hunter J calmly raised his arm and fired the petrification device at Gary.
"100,000 volts!"
"Pickup!"
Ash and Pikachu had witnessed the terror of the petrification device, so they naturally understood Hunter J's intention in doing so.
If the petrification device attack is ignored and Hunter J is captured, it will be fine. But if Hunter J is not captured and Shigeru is petrified, it is hard to say whether the petrification can be lifted.
This is a bet that Xiaozhi dares not make.
"boom--!"
Several powerful attacks lit up simultaneously, and an explosion rang out near the mountaintop, sending thick smoke and dust billowing everywhere.
Hunter J seized the fleeting opportunity, recalled his Dragapult, and jumped straight off the cliff. Salamence saw this and quickly flew down to catch Hunter J before they swiftly retreated from the area.
......
Two minutes later, the thick fog gradually dissipated. Looking at the surroundings, which were riddled with holes, Ash and Gary both sighed.
I never expected that Hunter J could get away.
"Seriously, couldn't you have brought out more Pokémon...? Since you know Hunter J is a dangerous person, couldn't you at least have made some more preparations?"
"this......"
Although Gary really wanted to argue with Ash as he always had, his performance this time was indeed a bit lacking.
Well... Gary originally planned to send Blastoise to join the battle, but when he saw that Ash had even sent Skarmory to ambush Hunter J's employer's helicopter in the forest, he instinctively felt that today's victory was practically assured.
Perhaps it was this comfortable idea that led him to decide to rely solely on the Electrifying Beast to fight to the very end.
"How tragic..."
"By the way, where is Hunter J? Um... who are those two people?"
Just then, Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang came down from up there with a few people.
There were probably six or seven members of the hunter organization who were tied together with rope by the two men.
However, the people here do not include those they encountered in the first wave. Those hunters who fell below should have escaped by now.
"These two were the buyers of the Shielded Dragon. They were originally in a helicopter, but were shot down by the Skarmory."
Xiao Zhi shrugged and said this.
Ash didn't think these two buyers were very important. Even if they had some connection with Hunter J, they couldn't possibly know the details about Hunter J.
Hunter J doesn't have a fixed base; they've always been inside an invisible spaceship.
If they don't show themselves, or if the League doesn't use more resources to capture them, it's practically impossible to catch them. We can only hope that Hunter J's next move will be able to capture them.
......
Meanwhile, high in the sky, on the spaceship that Hunter J had temporarily deployed.
"call."
Hunter J, who had barely managed to escape back to the spaceship with the help of the Salamence, went straight to his seat, sighed, and sat down.
It failed again.
Her reputation and standing in the industry had already suffered a significant drop after her last failed mission. If word gets out about this second failure, even if the number of orders doesn't decrease, her prices will definitely be driven down.
"Um... Boss, what about the buyer...?"
The subordinate, who witnessed the helicopter being shot down from the spaceship, asked somewhat nervously.
It's normal for missions to fail; no Pokémon hunter has ever been able to complete a mission 100% of the time. But this is the first time he's seen a buyer be caught so quickly.
"No need to worry about it."
Hunter J took off his sunglasses, rubbed his eyes, and said:
“He doesn’t have much contact with us, he knows very little about our organization, and it doesn’t matter.”
"But... if he gets out, what will happen to our reputation..."
This buyer has a lot of power, and if he uses this incident to smear their organization after he gets out, it will be troublesome.
"Oh."
Hunter J sneered.
"You can afford to pay for his sake? The more illustrious his reputation, the worse he will be if he falls into the hands of the Alliance. Even if someone wants to protect him, he has to consider whether he dares to go against Officer Jenny's power."
Hunter J was completely unconcerned about the so-called smear campaign.
More than the smears from others, she cared about the fact that her operation had failed. After all, even if her reputation was tarnished, she could recover with a few difficult projects, but a series of failures would definitely spread through various channels.
None of those employers were short of money; they cared more about time and efficiency than money.
"Then...the remaining few people..."
Looking at the distress signal coming from the receiver beside him, he asked anxiously.
"...Ignore them, they are responsible for their failure."
Hunter J hesitated somewhat when making this decision.
She brought a team of combat personnel out today, but only two of them returned. This disheveled state will definitely spark discussion within the organization.
But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, there's a risk involved in picking them up, and Hunter J hates things that are risky and have no reward.
However, after today, Hunter J has begun to plan to reorganize the organization's combat forces.
Although her previous strength was useful against ordinary wild Pokémon and decent trainers, today's lesson made her realize that against a stronger trainer, her forces were as fragile as paper, only able to buy her a few seconds of time.
correct.
There's more to her investigation.
Also, information about that trainer.
