Chapter 420: Tyranitar
"En... Enemy attack?"
Basalt shuddered.
What is going on?
This is the southeast coastal area of China; are there actually outlaws here?
Too arrogant!!!
"Broonz~"
Facing the illusion, Bronzong, with its powerful psychic force and astonishing willpower, was still struggling bitterly, trying its best to maintain the last shred of clarity.
"Eh? This Bronzong's consciousness wasn't suppressed instantly?"
A sound of surprise rang out on the small island.
It came from a mysterious figure with a tall, upright stature, wearing an exquisite blue suit and trousers, and leaning on a walking cane.
Behind this mysterious person was a Pokémon that looked like a squid but possessed legs and could walk upright. It had eight tentacles on its head resembling hair, and on its left and right sides were fins that functioned like hands. At the ends of these fins were structures as sharp as blades.
Although Bronzong hadn't completely succumbed, it couldn't control its body. It carried Basalt and dove headfirst toward the reefs of the island, like a plane about to crash.
"Malamar!"
The mysterious man simply called out gently. The Pokémon behind him immediately extended its blade-like legs. Psychic power flowed, and just as Bronzong was about to hit the ground, it levitated and caught it.
"Broonz~"
Bronzong was still struggling, trying to use Calm Mind to boost its psychic power and break through the illusion.
However, as Malamar continued to exert force, Bronzong fell directly into a deep sleep, unable to resist any longer.
"For a Pro-level Bronzong to possess such a degree of psychic power and willpower is simply incredible!"
The mysterious man looked at Bronzong, his tone filled with unconcealed praise.
Then he looked at Basalt and muttered to himself, "Truly worthy of the genius heavily cultivated by the Weather Bureau. Finally, a decent seedling! It seems that old fellow Mori actually did something practical."
"Malamar, wake him up!"
The mysterious man snapped his fingers, and the illusion before Basalt's eyes instantly dissipated.
However, it didn't dissipate completely.
Although Basalt regained consciousness, when he looked at the mysterious man, he found the man's face shrouded in heavy darkness, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
Then, Basalt noticed Malamar and was slightly startled.
According to the Pokédex, Malamar wields the strongest hypnosis among Pokémon and uses it to manipulate opponents at will. There is an endless stream of people using it for evil deeds.
No wonder even Bronzong was hypnotized!
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to calm down, Basalt looked at the mysterious man.
Although the situation was dire, Basalt had a vague feeling that this mysterious man held no malice toward him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have woken up at all. Besides, all his other Pokémon were in their Pokéballs, and Bronzong had fainted. He was essentially fish on the chopping block.
Before understanding the other party's intentions, Basalt dared not act rashly.
"You may call me Mr. Blue Suit!"
Although he couldn't see the mysterious man's identity, when he heard the voice, an image of the man's smile seemed to appear in Basalt's mind. But when he tried to think about it carefully, he instantly forgot the man's face completely.
This feeling was extremely peculiar.
"Mr. Blue Suit?"
Basalt's mouth twitched slightly. Isn't that name a bit too lazy?
"I came here this time because I was entrusted by someone!"
The mysterious man's voice was very magnetic, and his tone was gentle and slow, like a polite gentleman.
"The child's mother misses her child every day, worrying about whether it eats well, sleeps well, and if it's happy. So, it is time for you to visit the Cyan Province!"
"The child's mother? Child? Cyan Province?"
Basalt was confused at first, but when he heard "Cyan Province," he paused and instantly understood.
Didn't he and Director Mori obtain Pupitar from a secret realm in the Cyan Province (Qinghai)?
Back then, when Pupitar's parents went on a rampage, Director Mori and Master Hiroshi (Xu Chonghui)'s two aces both Mega Evolved but still couldn't withstand it, eventually fleeing in defeat.
It appeared this mysterious man seemed to be the trainer of one of Pupitar's parents?
"It seems you have understood my meaning!"
The mysterious man smiled slightly, and the shadow behind him swayed with his laughter.
"You are Basalt, right? I'll remember you. You are quite good!"
Having achieved his goal, the mysterious man signaled Malamar to prepare to leave.
However, before leaving, he added a piece of advice: "But... you are not strong enough yet! Seize the time to become stronger. I look forward to your growth."
As soon as his voice fell, the mysterious man and Malamar vanished.
With Malamar gone, Basalt's vision returned to normal, but the scene before him gave him a huge fright.
He was currently standing on the edge of a cliff on the island.
One more step forward, and he would have been smashed to pieces!
"Are you toxic?!"
Basalt couldn't help but complain.
Couldn't you just say what you needed to say? Why did you have to posture and act cool? Is it that fun?!
Although the mysterious man had left, Basalt still released all his Pokémon to stand guard; only then did he feel a slight sense of security.
However, thinking of the mysterious man's request, Basalt immediately took out his Pokédex and called Director Mori.
"Director, I met a weirdo..."
Basalt quickly recounted the encounter to Director Mori.
"Mr. Blue Suit?"
Director Mori remained silent for a long time after listening. Finally, he helplessly instructed, "He holds no malice toward you. Just forget about this matter; do not spread it! Also, I will arrange the trip to the Cyan Province for you. You just need to go there when the time comes!"
After speaking, Director Mori hung up the phone.
"Huh? That's it?"
Basalt was dumbfounded.
The Director's reaction was very wrong!
The Director definitely knew something about Mr. Blue Suit's background. But... Basalt wasn't qualified to know!
So damn frustrating!!!
But what Basalt didn't know was that immediately after hanging up, Director Mori called Master Hiroshi and told him to go to the secret realm in the Cydonia Desert (Qaidam Desert) as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, Master Hiroshi called back, speaking solemnly: "Director Mori, only the female Tyranitar is left in the secret realm!"
"It seems something big is about to happen internationally!"
Director Mori narrowed his eyes.
Two Tyranitars lived in the Cydonia Basin secret realm. The female Tyranitar had Master-level strength, while the male Tyranitar had Heavenly King-level strength.
Now that the male Tyranitar was missing, the "person" who entrusted Mr. Blue Suit must be the male Tyranitar.
Crucially, as far as Director Mori knew, the male Tyranitar's original trainer was the deceased former Rock-type Heavenly King (Elite Four member).
So, the male Tyranitar should have been free and wild.
But now, it had disappeared!
Thinking about it deeply was terrifying!!!
