Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 32. Objective 1 is aligned; the plan begins.

Inside the dead end, the patrol team had all left. And in the ventilation duct above the dead end, three out of the four figures breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you only consider half the picture when you do things?" Because the ventilation duct wasn't big enough, the black-armored man had to squat inside it. (Including the two antennas on his head, he was about two meters tall.)

"It's not like it's only happened once or twice. At worst, I'll just take on six of them." Qi Hao said slowly, flustered but stubborn, though his voice lacked conviction.

In this pitch-black place, a dark-skinned guy with gleaming yellow eyes is staring at you. If you were in that situation, would you feel confident?

"Aren't you afraid they'll empty the magazine?" The dark-skinned armored man touched his mask. Although his expression couldn't be seen through the armor, his words were definitely tinged with a teasing tone.

"They even have guns?" Qi Hao was slightly shocked. Guns are prohibited in China! Could it be that China has become more free in the past four hundred years?

"Yes, but not many. The captain has one, and only one magazine. Based on my previous record of robbing imports, I can confirm that this is the only one. It must have taken a lot of effort to get this thing into China." The armored man shook his head. He also had many questions. Logically speaking, all activities organized by the government should be conducted under official supervision.

He'd encountered this situation more than once or twice, and besides, guns weren't very effective against elite-level elves. Why import them? To defend against ordinary people? No, why would ordinary people come here? To defend against me? His thoughts were getting increasingly chaotic, so the armored man decided to put the matter aside for now and think about it again when the incident was over and he returned.

"I'm going to ask you a question now. You can answer it if you want, or not, or even lie. But your answer will determine whether I help you or knock you out and send you away. After all, this place is too dangerous for children." The armored man faced Qi Hao, making no move, but Qi Hao felt that if he couldn't give a clear answer, he would attack in an instant.

"Jin! (We're here to rescue our friends! Don't send us out!)"

"Chirp! (Yes, we're here to save the elves! That's the important thing!)"

Xiao Tie and Shushu talked and gestured, afraid that the man would throw them out on the spot.

The armored man paused for a moment, and Little Iron and Mouse stopped when they saw that he wasn't speaking. The atmosphere suddenly froze.

?????????(?–?)??_? （▼_▼）

"What are they saying?" After a long while, the armored man stroked his chin, and after watching them gesture for so long, he really didn't understand what they were trying to express.

┌(。Д。)┐Down! X2

Xiao Tie and the mouse fell to the ground with a thud. They forgot that not all humans are Qi Hao. Under normal circumstances, humans cannot understand Elvish.

"Let me explain. We have a friend, an aluminum-steel dragon, who was captured. So we followed the people who captured him into this place, and now we're planning to rescue him." Qi Hao tried to simplify the story as much as possible.

"Saving a friend? That's a barely satisfactory answer. And all the imprisoned elves here are in one place, so saving one or saving them all makes no difference." The armored man nodded in satisfaction, then took out a scroll of data from a hidden compartment in his arm armor and spread it out on the ground. "Since we have the same goal, let's join forces for now. Here is the data on everyone here."

The yellow light illuminated the documents on the ground, with portraits of people on the papers and detailed information written next to them.

Qi Hao noticed that one of the avatars was highlighted with a red circle, so he pointed at it and said, "('-'*) What's up with this guy, the dark-skinned armored man?"

"What kind of guy is this, all black armored? Cough cough, he's the person in charge here, and also the strongest fighter here, a near-Elite Four level trainer. But this 'near-Elite Four' title is a bit questionable; he only has one standard Pokémon, Bronze Bell, that's a near-Elite Four level, the rest are all fakes." The armored man's tone suddenly became very disdainful, and then he added, "Now we have information on the enemy, but we still need the target's location."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao pressed the button on his bracelet, which automatically projected the map he had just photographed onto the ground: "This is the map we just found."

"Oh? Looks like you guys have some skills. This bracelet... never mind, it's none of my business. But I've been wanting to ask you guys how come you've been here for so long and are still near the entrance?" The armored man looked at the map, planning his route while asking questions.

"-_-|| Guess why we need a map?" Qi Hao was speechless. They had gone around in circles three times and returned to the starting point. This place was ridiculously winding.

"Hmm...that's interesting. You're lost, aren't you! Hahaha, didn't you know you could use the ventilation ducts? These underground facilities might not have other things, but they definitely have ventilation ducts." He teased Qi Hao, who had just realized the situation, while his hands worked non-stop, drawing a route map in just a few strokes.

"The lab and the resource room... the lab might not be there, but according to the map, the spirits should be in the resource room. Tch, it's called the resource room, right? These two rooms are connected, so it won't affect our search of the whole place." The armored man put away the hand-drawn map, his words revealing his dissatisfaction with calling the place where the spirits were imprisoned the resource room.

He then jumped directly out of the ventilation duct: "Let's go. Now that the route is clear, there's no need to waste any more time. Before we go, allow me to introduce myself. Outsiders call me Emperor Lie, stop calling me that dark-skinned armored man. And you?"

"What do outsiders call you? What's your real name? My name is Qi Hao, Qi in traditional Chinese characters, Hao with the water radical." Qi Hao swaggered in front of Empress Lie, while the patrol team had already left the area.

"This name is quite unique. Oh well, whatever. Let's get going. As for my real name, don't even think about it. It's a secret."

"Jin? (Can this guy and his brother really be trusted?)" Xiao Tie couldn't help but ask, watching these two sneaking in like they were just strolling around. There couldn't possibly be no cameras here!

"Chirp? (Not really, but what can we do? Run away?)" The mouse is a master of shirking its responsibilities; now is the time to follow along.

[(σ｀?д?)σ System! Scan him! I need all his data!]

『ˉ\\_(ツ)_/ˉOkay.

烈腿蝗

Level: 65 (Self-suppression, Limit state 79)

Attribute: Insect, Evil

Gender: ♂

Characteristics: Tinted glasses

Skills: Sword Dance, Hell Thrust, Assault, Insect Pulse, etc...

Synopsis: A locust with symptoms similar to ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) has dreamed of becoming a hero since childhood, but his physical defect causes him unbearable suffering. However, his master uses technology to compensate for his regrets and shoulder his dream. His level is not limited to this, but he knows that an excessively high level would be unbearable for the human body. Even though his master's body is extraordinary, he is already at the limit of a Quasi-Heavenly King. Therefore, his level is suppressed at the Quasi-Heavenly King level. At critical moments, he will release his restraints. Perhaps when his symptoms severely affect him and he can no longer control his level, that will be the time for the Locust Emperor to retire.

[\u003d????(??? ??) This...this is a Fiery Leg Locust that has become a spirit?]

"(???；) Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"

[??Д?) How do you explain this?]

『( ＿ ＿)ノ｜Haven't you understood the description yet? They used technology to turn elves into armor and wear it!』

[But I need people's information!]

"(/"≡ _ ≡)\u003d Can you see what's inside the armor?"

[?_?? I can't see it, but can't you?]

"(||?_?) If you can't see it, why do you think I can?"

[(╬??皿??) Damn! Oh well, I'm used to it. You're very useful when you need you, and completely useless when you don't!]

"( ′???`) This isn't my fault! Look at you, you're so angry you're spouting nonsense."

Qi Hao really didn't know what to say. Even if he could see it, it was the system's prerogative not to tell him.

But after reading the information, let's put it this way: Liehuang is at least a good trainer, but can the relationship between a trainer and his Pokémon really be described as one of carrying a burden?
