Red flag
The poacher in question was battling a herd of Phampy line pokemon with a team of three pokemon at the ace level when I found him. I didn't slow down at all from my sprint but instead transitioned into a flying kick straight to his knee caps from behind. With a satisfying "CRACK!" both of his legs snapped in unnatural angles and he screamed as he went down. I didn't even need to help the Phampy as the mans screams distracted his pokemon enough to turn the tide of the battle and cause them to get killed by the angry elephant pokemon.-
"I am with the league and came to catch these poachers. Do any of you know where any other poachers may have gone?" I asked the herd and like five of them pointed their trunks in a direction and I grabbed the now tied up poacher thanks to Hades and took off in the direction indicated. As it turned out though the herd wasn't pointing me towards another poacher but rather the territory of a family of Natu that they had believed would be targets of the poachers.-
It was a good piece of information since Natu and their evolved form Xatu were coveted psychic type pokemon that innately had future sight. Unfortunately there was no poachers there but the family did point me in another direction that might have some. This time the information was good as there was the last two poachers tag teaming a group of Chansey happily chatting about the big payday this job was going to get them. I casually dropped the poacher I was carrying and grabbed the keystone from my pocket and threw the angry ghost attached to it right in the middle of the poachers and their pokemon.-
Hades was not a fan of this an took out it's irritation out on the pokemon and their trainers viciously. "Remember we need the poachers alive , the rest are yours to do whatever you want with though!" I called out and Hades hissed but left the poachers be after some "mild" torture. I tied them up and put them over my shoulder before grabbing the one I dropped previously and Hades to return to the safari building to drop them off. I was not surprised to find some rangers there dealing with the poachers my pokemon had already brought back. -
What I was surprised about was that Vulcan was keeping the rangers away from a red haired man with a missing leg and wrathful glare leveled at my pokemon. 'Must be the leader and he looks pissed. His days is only going to get worse from here though.' I thought as I skidded to a stop kicking up dust before tossing the poachers to the rangers. "This should be the last of them and after I have a bit of a chat with the leader over there you can take him as well. Should only take me a moment to get him to spill his secrets." I said casually.-

I noticed a BIG red flag in this quest immediately in the form of the final optional reward being an evolution token. The system itself had already told me that the things only appear as a reward when the system believes the difficulty was next to impossible to pull off. Like in the case of the Heatran getting killed rather than us needed to flee for our lives like we were supposed to. Was it possible to kill the thing? Definitely. Was it probable? Not enough to be worth considering. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com
