Chapter 342: Information Over the next two days, Yuga stayed at the estate, waiting for the White Light Intelligence Bureau's message. During his downtime, he trained his Pokémon, primarily focusing on his Charmander.
Yuga's other Pokémon had already become self-reliant in their training. Yuga's usual task was to outline their training plans for different phases, and they managed the rest themselves.
However, to be honest, while he had chosen Charmander as his main Pokémon due to its potential, Yuga hadn't yet devised a specific training. Currently, he focused mainly on physical training.
Nonetheless, building a strong foundation was crucial. For Charmander, having a robust physique would greatly benefit its future evolution and battles.
Since his the Great Flygon was too large for training within the estate, Yuga had it stand still, serving as a target to assist Charmander in training. Fortunately, Charmander's strength couldn't harm the Great Flygon in the slightest.
On the third day after Ryuichi's departure, the day Yuga intended to retrieve the results from the White Light Intelligence Bureau, Ryuichi returned.
He specifically came to inquire about the results of Yuga's visit to the White Light Intelligence Bureau. Yuga informed him that he would be going there for answers today. Ryuichi insisted on accompanying Yuga, but Yuga firmly declined.
We're not children. Some things we can handle ourselves!
With the location of the White Light Intelligence Bureau still fresh in his memory, Yuga ventured into the dilapidated building once more.
The setting remained the same: dim lighting, an empty room, and the enigmatic masked figure.
The masked figure seemed to recognize Yuga. Even before Yuga could produce the iron token, the figure said, "You've come! Sit down."
Yuga nodded and took a seat, asking, "What about the information I requested?"
The masked figure extended a hand wearing black gloves towards Yuga, saying, "Give me the token back first."
Yuga agreed with a nod and retrieved the iron token, placing it into the masked figure's hand. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The masked figure examined it carefully, confirming it was the same one he had given Yuga. He then beckoned to someone behind him.
A Gengar emerged from his shadow, holding a stack of documents. After handing the documents to the masked figure, the Gengar retreated back into the shadow.
Yuga couldn't help but think that their pretentious skills were still top-notch.
The masked figure accepted the documents from Gengar and placed them in front of himself. Instead of immediately giving them to Yuga, he provided an account number and said, "Complete, two and a half million!"
Two and a half million? Why does this figure sound like mockery? Is this person really worth that much? Two and a half million!
Fortunately, Yuga had just sold his Pokémon this month, or he wouldn't have been able to come up with the money so easily. He had just spent over six million buying a bracelet from Fiona, so he couldn't afford to spare a single coin right now!
Seriously, is it that difficult to save some money?
With a heavy heart, Yuga paid the amount. He then took the documents handed over by the masked figure and began reading them on the spot. If they didn't meet his expectations, he could return them right away.
However, the White Light Intelligence Bureau did not disappoint Yuga.
The information revealed details about Motohara, a 42-year-old man from a nearby village around Mauville City. His parents were ordinary farmers.
At the age of twelve, he fortuitously obtained his starter Pokémon, Teddiursa, which set him on the path to becoming a Trainer. Motohara displayed some natural talent, progressing faster than his peers and eventually gaining recognition in the local community.
However, things took a dark turn when he was pursued by the authorities due to accidental manslaughter. During this period, his initial Pokémon, Ursaring, died.
While on the run, he inadvertently joined a group of Pokémon Poachers, becoming one himself. When he reappeared in the public eye, he had switched to using Nidoking, Shiftry, and Exploud as his Pokémon.
His personality had changed significantly, becoming cunning, cruel, and bloodthirsty. The number of police officers killed by his hand exceeded double digits, and he captured countless Pokémon using illegal methods every year.
Despite multiple failed police attempts to capture him, there were now very few Trainers willing to take on the task of apprehending him.
At present, he had reached the level of a pseudo-Elite Trainer, possessing at least three pseudo-Elite-level Pokémon. It could be said that unless a Elite-level Trainer intervened, it would be challenging for anyone else to capture him.
Elite-level Trainers didn't bother with him, and regular Trainers struggled to deal with him. This was why he had enjoyed freedom for decades.
Moreover, this individual had a keen sense of judgment. He never provoked opponents he couldn't handle, following the old adage of avoiding those stronger than him.
Not long ago, his organization's leader had unexpectedly died, throwing the organization into turmoil. He seized the opportunity to break free and became a lone wolf.
Recently, he had been spotted near Lavaridge Town and Mauville City. His most recent location was the Luminescent Jewelry Shop in Mauville City, and he had then headed to the Violet Glow Forest near Route 118.
The current prediction was that he was in the Violet Glow Forest.
After roughly reviewing the information in his hands, Yuga couldn't help but marvel at the White Light Intelligence Bureau's extensive capabilities. They seemed capable of uncovering even a person's family history going back generations, and they accurately predicted his current location.
Yuga didn't believe that the White Light Intelligence Bureau made casual predictions; otherwise, they would tarnish their reputation. Their accuracy must be at least eighty percent or higher for them to confidently provide such information.
However, this individual was undoubtedly a seasoned pseudo-Elite Trainer. That's why the information was worth over two million, making it quite a challenge!
From the data, this person was a genuine villain, and the description of him as ruthless and malicious was fitting.
Yuga didn't think there was any room for negotiation with someone like him; conflict seemed inevitable. Yuga's Pokémon were generally around level forty, and even with their potential and unique abilities, they could barely handle Pokémon above level fifty. Facing pseudo-Elite-level Pokémon under the command of a Trainer was a daunting prospect.
Even with his pseudo-Elite the Great Flygon, victory was far from guaranteed.
It seemed like he needed to carefully consider his approach; otherwise, rushing to confront this individual might lead to disaster.
"I'm satisfied with the information. I'll take my leave now," Yuga said, getting up from his seat.
"You're welcome to come back anytime!" the masked figure nodded and said.
Yuga thought to himself, "I hope there won't be a next time. My wallet can't take it."
As he made his way back to the estate, Yuga contemplated the best approach to deal with Motohara. Unknowingly, he reached the entrance of his own yard.
"Young Master Shimizu, you're back! How did things go?" Ryuichi, who had been waiting at the yard's entrance for Yuga's return, immediately asked upon seeing him.
"Well, I got the information I wanted from the White Light Intelligence Bureau. They are indeed impressive!" Yuga replied casually as he pondered his next steps.
Ryuichi smiled and said, "Of course, they've been around for a long time. When it comes to gathering information, no one can match them."
Yuga couldn't help but feel speechless after hearing Ryuichi's words. Didn't he find the existence of such an organization terrifying? Who knows, they might dig up your entire family history one day.
