Chapter 58 Finally, they made their move.
"Yo~, boss, are we finally going to start? Double-crossing, I can't wait!" Gastly immediately jumped out, extremely excited.
Lin Ye's lips curled up slightly:
"Well done!"
If it weren't for this trip to the nature reserve, he might have been worried about the sudden advancement of this operation.
However, his gains on this trip were quite significant. His single sword sheath successfully evolved into a double sword sheath and broke through to the "professional level". Zoroah also ate two Lamp Berries, further enhancing his strength.
Moreover, he now has a "dead army" in Water City that he can command.
Just like this interception operation was suddenly brought forward, it was fortunate that they were arranged to conduct investigations and surveillance beforehand, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity. Gastly and the others really deserve credit.
Once the operation begins, dozens of elusive ghost Pokémon will be able to assist him in the battle.
Although, this number of ghosts is hardly a calamity of the dead, let alone a night parade of a hundred ghosts.
But at least it gave him a bit of the airs that a necromancer with a retinue of followers should have, which greatly increased his chances of success in this mission!
"Oh, right~"
The Night Patrol Spirit suddenly remembered something and added:
"The brother in charge of monitoring the Poison Blade Society leader sent word that he met with a very mysterious woman today. I wonder if this will affect the leader's plans."
"A mysterious woman! How strong is she?"
"I don't know. I mostly heard it from the brother who was monitoring her. Although the woman was young, the leader of the Poison Blade Society treated her very politely, even respectfully."
Also, that woman gave off a very strong sense of oppression from the ghost; my brother didn't even dare to get within a hundred meters of her.
My brother also said he had a premonition that if he got within a hundred meters, the woman would definitely notice him, and he felt that he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
"That's amazing!"
Lin Ye frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Anyone who can be treated with such respect by a local gang leader supported by the Lava Team must be a high-ranking member of the Lava Team. I wonder what level she is. I hope she's not here to interfere in this matter."
With Lin Ye's current strength, he is no longer too afraid of a local gang in Shuijing City, but the Lava Team behind them is still a behemoth!
"When you get back, have Gastly send some 'Ghost Hands' to keep an eye on that mysterious woman for me!"
If it's discovered that she also participated in this operation, notify me immediately; the plan will need to be revised accordingly.
Yes~
The Night Watch Spirit responded and flew away, after which a gray fox emerged from the shadows.
"Zoroa, barring any unforeseen circumstances, you'll soon be able to settle your score with that person."
"Gurgle~~"
Soloar responded, and the ghostly energy around him trembled and fluctuated uncontrollably.
Lin Ye stroked the little fox's head with a pang of sympathy. He had promised to help it get justice, but so many days had passed and the little guy hadn't uttered a single complaint.
"However, we need to conceal ourselves before we make a full move. Your aura is off right now; you need to adjust your state."
"Gurgle~"
Zorua responded readily, quickly calming his emotions and his breathing gradually becoming steady.
But Lin Ye could clearly sense the burning flame of revenge in the little fox's heart through the contract!
"Alright~, since we're going to take action so early, we don't need to go home. Let's go and prepare in advance!"

At 5:30 a.m., the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
On a highway in the western suburbs of Water Lily, a gray pickup truck bearing the Alliance logo is slowly driving along, with dense forests on both sides shrouded in morning mist.
Inside the small truck, several escorts were yawning listlessly.
"How much longer until we arrive?"
"About twenty minutes."
"That's good. We can finish our task once we get there. Speaking of which, the higher-ups are really crazy. They suddenly made us set off last night."
Come to think of it, weren't these Pokémon meant for ordinary trainers? When did the higher-ups ever show such concern for ordinary people?
"Hey~, you don't know yet, but there's a rare item among all these Poké Balls on the truck!"
It is said that a wealthy man from Water Town secured it for his son.
That young master is impatient; lately he's been clamoring to get that Pokémon as soon as possible.
"Look, these little guys just arrived, and they made us deliver them so late at night."
"So that's how it is! No wonder! In the eyes of these high-ranking officials and nouveau riche, we are not even as good as Tauros or Mudstalks!"
If you ask me, it would be better to give a rare Pokémon to someone else halfway through the generational change than to give it to that kid! Hah~, ouch~~, what's that taste!
"No, this isn't dust!"
While the people in the car were talking, countless white powdery mists and wisps of white silk that had long enveloped the road were silently slipping into the car under the cover of night. By the time they noticed, it was too late!
"Cough cough cough... What the hell?!"
The guards coughed violently, tears and snot streaming down their faces. They tried to release the Pokémon, but the powder and white threads were everywhere, making them weak and limp.
"Oh no! It's spores from a mushroom-type Pokémon! Someone's lying in wait!"
Someone on the bus noticed something was wrong, but it was too late.
The truck driver rolled his eyes and fell asleep right on the steering wheel, causing the small truck to crash into a tree.
Several guards collapsed one after another, some convulsing, others fast asleep.
Fortunately, in their last moments before losing consciousness, the escorts managed to open some Poké Balls and release a total of seven or eight Pokémon!
However, once these Pokémon appeared, they were also affected by the spores everywhere, and their condition became listless.
Just then, a gust of wind swept by, scattering the spores that had been floating all over the road!
Before the Pokémon escorting the people could even catch their breath, pairs of menacing eyes appeared on the wasteland not far away, gradually closing in on them in the darkness.
Needless to say, the escorting personnel, who had been ambushed and lost most of their fighting strength, were no match for the premeditated robbers.
The few Pokémon that were fighting alone were quickly defeated, and the truck and the Poké Balls on it all fell into the hands of this group!
"Scarface! Things are going surprisingly smoothly. It seems all our previous preparations were for nothing!"
"You can't say that. This time they were careless. They didn't expect someone would actually dare to steal a Pokémon from the League. But it's always good to be prepared!"
The leader of the Poison Blade Society, known as "Scarface," stepped forward and took a separately sealed briefcase.
Contrary to the social image associated with this codename, the leader of the Poison Blade Society actually appears to be a refined, thin middle-aged man wearing a shirt and glasses.
He tossed the briefcase he had just received and said to one of his henchmen beside him:
"Rhodes, arrange for someone to send these elves away. As for Tan Xiaoshi, you can come with me to deliver them to that lord."
"My lord, I can too!"
"Hmm~, over the years, I'm the only one in our gang who's qualified to contact the organization."
Even you core members of the gang only know that our Poison Blade Society was established with the support of the Lava Team, but you have no access to the real higher-ups.
But this time, the official said he would be staying in Water Town for a while and would need people during that time.
"I'm taking you with me this time, so make the most of this opportunity. Maybe I won't have to do everything myself every time in the future!"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your guidance, boss. I will definitely cherish this opportunity and do my best."
A moment later, the members of the Poison Blade Society finished cleaning up the scene, then split the Poké Balls on the truck and scattered in different directions to escape.
Meanwhile, the boss, known as "Scarface," led his most trusted subordinate, Rhodes, towards Waterlily City.
When the dust settled and silence returned, a Pokémon resembling a candle emerged from the shadows of a dark corner not far away.
The ghostly blue soul flame atop the "candle" trembled in the wind as it cautiously surveyed its surroundings.
Once the situation was confirmed, the little "candle" suddenly exerted its power, shooting a wisp of dark blue spark into the air, which eventually burst into a firework resembling a symbol.
