Chapter 20: Pickpocketing and Chance Encounters

After contacting Sister En, the three of them waited by the roadside out of boredom.

"Xiao Gang, let's go check what that hunter has. I saw a big package on his motorcycle," Xuan Mingtian urged Xiao Gang.

"That's not a good idea. If Hunter E finds out, he'll be heartbroken."

Xiao Gang's lewd smile betrayed his true intentions.

At the same time, Xuan Mingtian took out medicine from his backpack to treat the crow's injuries, because if it wasn't treated soon, it might die at any time.

"Xiao Tian, ​​are you done yet? I'm still waiting for you to work together. It'll make me panic if there's one less person." Xiao Gang urged himself on. The joy of stealing bags is universally appreciated.

Five minutes later, I finally finished my work.

"Let's go, Xiao Gang. Our bounty hunter's injuries have stabilized. Now it's time to open the package." Without waiting for Xiao Gang's reaction, she put her hand on his neck and strode arrogantly toward the motorcycle.

"Wow, Xiao Tian, ​​look!" Xiao Gang exclaimed after opening the package.

Peeking out, he exclaimed in amazement, "More than forty Poké Balls! That means he caught more than forty Pokémon! The ancients were right! It's true what they say: 'One or two days of work, half a year of rest.'"

Xiao Gang, seeing himself suddenly exclaim like this, panicked and said, "Xiao Tian, ​​you mustn't have such thoughts! Once an elf hunter is caught, he'll have to work on a sewing machine in prison for decades. You don't want to work on a sewing machine yourself, do you? Besides, I've heard that the people in prison love to make tender young people pick up soap."

She looked at Xiaogang speechlessly and said, "Xiaogang, I've noticed you're changing. You actually want me to operate the sewing machine, and you even want me to pick up soap. Xiaogang, you can't have such thoughts. How can you think like this at such a young age? Hmph, I guess I'll have to tell Aunt Xiaomi."

"Xiao Tian, ​​you're mistaken. I'm advising you not to have such thoughts," Xiao Gang said with a half-smile.

He looked at Xiao Gang speechlessly and said, "Xiao Gang, what are you thinking? If I had such an idea, my image would be even worse than Hunter E's now before I even put it into practice. Besides, even if I were to do it, I would be a bounty hunter, specifically hunting these elf hunters. Wouldn't that be better?"

"Oh, so you didn't have that thought. Otherwise, I would have to visit you in prison every time," Xiao Gang replied.

He started to talk to Xiaogang: "Xiaogang, if you ever need money when you travel or travel with others, these are the best options, but only if you have the ability to match them. You can hire one or two elf hunters, and then you won't have to worry about money."

"Get lost, what kind of nonsense is that? Even if I'm short of money in the future, I'll jump off this motorcycle and take down two or three of them when we're matched against each other." After saying that, Xiao Gang jumped off the motorcycle with a serious expression.

Seeing Xiao Gang's behavior, he couldn't help but think, "This all-around Xiao Gang has actually learned such trash talk. Will he say something like, 'Let's each take one of them and knock them down,' to Xiao Zhi?"

During the conversation with Xiaogang, he had already checked the motorcycle thoroughly, and all he found was a bag of poached Pokémon, three League Cards, and a small bag of Pokémon food in his inventory.

Meanwhile, Xuan Mingtian was swiping three Alliance cards on his portable POS machine: "Xiao Gang, our chance to make money this time depends on his bounty. This guy is a total pauper. The three Alliance cards combined don't even amount to 20,000 yuan. He's even poorer than the one I met before."

Xiao Gang replied, "That's right, the most valuable thing I own is that pistol."

"Xiao Gang, we can't have such thoughts right now. We're still young, and there's a driver as a witness in the back." Xuan Mingtian said speechlessly, looking at Xiao Gang. This Xiao Gang is getting more and more cunning.

Wow, wow! At that moment, the sound of police sirens jolted the three of them awake; the police had finally arrived.

"Xiao Tian, ​​are you alright? Let me see." Jun Sha En anxiously picked him up and touched him all over.

"Stop, Sister En! This is happening in public. I'm fine, but that guy called Hunter E is the one who's in trouble," Xuan Mingtian said quickly, trying to stop Sister En from doing this.

Jun Shaen patted herself and said, "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? We're perfectly legitimate, who dares to say anything out of line?"

Hunter E, who had regained his ability to speak, said, "Officer, arrest me quickly. I'll tell you everything, just protect me."

A male police officer, let's call him A, said, "We are police officers. Even though you are a criminal, we will protect you from being killed."

Hunter E said with a sob in his voice, "You have no idea how I got through those five minutes. Five minutes! They each had a rolling pin and beat me for a full five minutes. Do you know how I got through those five minutes?"

Jun Shaen said, "Hmph, daring to lay a hand on my fiancé, she's asking for death."

Then Officer Jenny came to Hunter E and conducted an inhumane ideological education that lasted for 2 minutes.

Hunter E cried out in terror, "Help! The police are beating people! The police are breaking the law!"

The police officers next to them seemed not to hear, their eyes darting to the left and right.

At this moment, Xiao Gang asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​is your wife always this fierce?"

"I don't know either. This is the first time I've ever seen her like this," he said, shrugging.

Jun Shaen said to Xuan Mingtian, "Xiao Tian, ​​let me take you back. We need to go to the police station to give a statement later."

Xuan Mingtian replied, "Okay, Sister En, let's go."

On the way to the police station, Jun Shaen asked, "Xiao Tian, ​​how have you been studying lately? Have you been attending classes diligently?"

"Of course I do! I pay close attention in class. You can ask Xiaogang if you don't believe me." Xuan Mingtian winked at Xiaogang as he spoke.

After understanding immediately, Xiao Gang said, "Yes, Miss En, Xiao Tian is studying very hard at the academy."

"Hmph, Xiao Tian, ​​if you were to study properly, that would be fine. Don't think I didn't see the exchange between you two." But Jun Sha'en clearly didn't believe the two brats. After all, she was a police chief, and she could see through their little tricks of exchanging glances at a glance.

"Sister En, I really have been studying hard, don't worry. I also promised Mom I'd get the intermediate-level training certificate before graduation," Xuan Mingtian said.

"It's best if you keep it to yourself, otherwise don't blame me for telling your aunt." Jun Shaen said coolly.

"Sister En, this is between us, we can't just tell Mom."

Jun Shaen looked at Xuan Mingtian, who was pretending to be serious, and said, "If you still want me not to tell your aunt, you should explain this matter to her first."

Upon hearing Jun Sha'en's words, her eyes widened like saucers; she was about to be nagged again.

Time flew by, and the two men, who had already given their statements and received the reward money, stood at the door looking around.

Jun Shaen said to the two of them, "Xiao Tian, ​​take Xiao Gang home. I'll take you to school tomorrow."

“Okay, Sister En, then you don’t need to buy groceries tonight. I’ll go shopping in Changqing City with Xiaogang later,” Xuan Mingtian replied.

Twenty minutes passed quietly.

"Xiaotian, Viridian City truly lives up to its reputation as the oxygen bar of the Kanto region. I didn't feel tired even after walking for 20 minutes. And I also heard there's a Trainer Academy here," Xiaogang said.

“Yes, Xiao Gang, living here means being in contact with nature every day, so the people here are quite relaxed. Although that Trainer Academy isn't as famous as Indigo Academy, it's still a place many people aspire to attend. Let's go, let's go to the supermarket and then head back,” Xuan Mingtian replied.

"Xiao Tian, ​​look! Isn't this the head of the Evergreen Dojo?" Xiao Gang said after spotting someone who resembled Giovanni upon arriving at the supermarket.

"Let me see. Wow, it really is Xiao Gang! This is the leader of the Evergreen Gym, named Sakaki. It's a Ground-type Gym, quite similar to your Dark Grey Gym." Xuan Mingtian exclaimed.

After all, this was the last person he wanted to meet in Changqing City. What if someone tried to kidnap him? Although he wasn't afraid, it would still be troublesome.

Sakaki looked up at him after hearing the exclamation.

When his gaze met Sakaki's, he immediately turned away and muttered to himself, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer."

But fate is a strange thing; Sakaki slowly walked towards Xuan Mingtian's location.

"Hello kids, my name is Sakaki, and I'm the head of the Evergreen Dojo. Are you here to buy something?" He greeted Xuan Mingtian and the others in a friendly manner.

"Hello, Gym Leader Sakaki, my name is Brock. My father is the Gym Leader of Dark Grey Gym. It's a pleasure to meet you." Brock said excitedly as he pulled Xuan Mingtian along.

Upon hearing this, Sakaki said, "Oh, not bad. Your father, Takenori, is also a good person."

Left with no other choice, he greeted Sakaki: "Hello, Master Sakaki, my name is Xuan Mingtian."

Sakaki teased, "Oh, I've heard of you. You're the kid who stole the flower of our Evergreen City Police Department, Miss Jun Shaen."

"Ah, this was all with the parents' permission. Are you shopping here too?" Xuan Mingtian felt that Sakaki was giving him face, so he had to give him some face in return. After all, it's all about human relationships. Who says that the underworld doesn't care about human relationships?

"Yes, I've come to buy some daily necessities. Would you like to come over to my house?" Sakaki said.

After exchanging a glance with Xiaogang, he said, "Master Sakaki, let's do it next time. We'll definitely visit your house next time we have a holiday, because Xiaogang and I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Okay, then I won't bother you any longer. I'll wait for your next visit." After saying that, Sakaki left.

After Sakaki left, Brock excitedly said, "Tian, ​​we met Gym Leader Sakaki, and I heard he's really strong."

"Calm down, Xiaogang, you need to learn to stay calm in the face of adversity," Xuan Mingtian said to Xiaogang.
