Chapter 75, 3 groups of people
Huoyan City is the northernmost city in the Eastern Alliance among the cities on the mainland.
Further north lies the boundless sea.
There are no islands in this ocean.
Furthermore, the further north you go, the harsher the climate becomes.
The Pokémon you encounter are all very dangerous types, making them not good hiding places.
The remnants of the Revival Society are not very powerful and will not choose this path.
However, there is a large forest to the southeast of Huoyan City.
The forest is home to almost every type of Bug-type Pokémon from the Eastern League.
In addition, many Flying-type Pokémon also inhabit this area.
The forest is vast, and the rangers' strength is not very great; it is almost a natural sanctuary.
After leaving Fire Rock City, 'Bald' Eagle Na led Ghost Sea straight to this forest.
According to the conversation between Gengar and Vulpix, Ghost learned that there was a Restoration Society stronghold in this forest.
Moreover, this outpost is not a small or unlaunched outpost.
It is not just a place for Pokémon capture and training that is very important to the Revival Association.
Hidden inside are a large number of members of the Revival Society, as well as Pokémon that have been captured and are undergoing unified training.
It is almost the most important Pokémon acquisition center for members of the Revival Society.
Even Bald Eagle Na herself was born in this forest and was chosen by Yu Ya to be raised to her current level.
The revitalization of this stronghold has been in preparation for over a decade, and it has been concealing its existence in various ways.
So it hasn't been discovered by the league until now.
However, some things can never be hidden.
From the moment Yu Ya encountered Gui Hai, this stronghold was destined to be destroyed.
After learning the general information about the stronghold from Bald Eagle Na, Ghost Sea put it away.
Then he had Rotom in his Iron Man suit carry him on a fast journey.
They quietly approached the stronghold of the Revival Society.
The bald eagle, now featherless, can no longer fly and travels very slowly.
Moreover, it is an Elite Four Pokémon.
During a battle, Oni-kai wouldn't keep such a potential threat around.
However, the flight lasted for some time.
Gui Hai suddenly realized that the situation seemed to be somewhat different from what he had thought.
This forest is indeed much as Vulturena described, with all sorts of Bug-type Pokémon roaming the ground and Flying-type Pokémon everywhere.
Guihai only glanced at the forest and discovered several groups of humans.
These traces of human activity have all been altered.
However, the degree of treatment differs.
One group of people concealed their tracks very meticulously, almost completely covering up their footprints.
If it weren't for the high-definition cameras mounted on the Iron Man suits, which could scan and analyze the evidence, even Ghost Sea wouldn't have been able to detect these traces.
However, the other two groups covered it up far too crudely.
It could even be described as perfunctory.
The embers of the campfire were simply covered with sand, but the obvious traces of the fire could still be seen.
The footsteps were scattered, and you could even see litter carelessly discarded.
If they weren't genuinely trying to conceal their presence, Guihai wouldn't have suspected these people of being criminals; he would have simply thought they were a group of uncivilized travelers.
Make Rotom stop.
Guihai glanced at the traces.
They quickly analyzed the approximate identities of these groups of people.
The group that concealed their activities best was probably the Restoration Society. They had been preparing here for many years, and if they hadn't been careful, the Alliance would have discovered and cracked down on them long ago.
As for the other two groups, Guihai guessed that one of them was probably a group of travelers who were genuinely lacking in manners.
They came here looking for suitable Pokémon, but perhaps they caught too many, or weren't registered in the league, so they guiltily tried to cover up their tracks.
As for the other wave, Guihai believes it was left behind by poaching gangs.
These people usually don't commit crimes in one place for long; they shoot and then move on to another location.
This forest is so vast that by the time the Alliance discovers the poachers, they will have already fled.
There was no need to hide my tracks, so I just went through the motions.
"This forest is not a protected area, and the alliance is weak. I never expected that these rats in the gutter would be so rampant."
Guihai brushed aside the sand covering the campfire and found that it was still warm inside.
It appears the poachers haven't been gone for long.
"However, the alliance is not a country or kingdom, and it is impossible to mobilize too many people to be stationed in such a remote place."
Gui Hai determined the direction, temporarily ignoring the poachers, and continued searching for the Restoration Society's stronghold.
As for the poachers, he has already contacted the Alliance's prosecutors team.
The prosecutors will arrive soon, and then none of these people will escape.
After removing his Iron Man suit, Oni-kai donned a black trench coat and put on the mysterious mask that had been hanging on his shoulder.
As he moved forward, Gui Hai's figure gradually faded, as if it were about to disappear.
Then Ghost Sea really disappeared.
Although he reappeared quickly, there was just a moment when Guihai truly disappeared from sight.
This is the benefit that Gengar's growth brings to the Ghost Sea.
He has a natural affinity with ghosts, making it easier for him to wield power than others.
Now that Gengar has grown to Champion level, it has also benefited from this, having more energy to control, and thus able to disappear from human sight like a ghost.
Furthermore, the stronger the Pokémon that forms a bond with him becomes.
The more energy Ghost Sea possesses, the more Pokémon-like it will become.
They traveled more than a kilometer.
Gengar, hiding in the shadows, suddenly alerted Ghostsea that it had discovered traces of humans.
At the same time, Gui Hai's figure faded and disappeared into the shadows.
"Damn it, it's all those guys' fault. They were so ostentatious that they almost attracted the League's rangers. Now we have to come out and clean up their mess. I'm going to chop those guys up and feed them to my Houndoom."
Two figures dressed in camouflage slowly rolled, like two moving plants.
However, as the two rolled...
The two cleaned up the obvious traces so thoroughly that it was as if no one had ever walked on them.
"Hehe, no need to wait, Lord Ge has already led his men to catch these bastards. Those lunatics can have an extra meal today."
"Really? But those lunatics are really crazy. I get goosebumps just thinking about the horrific state of those guys who broke in to catch Pokémon."
"It's also their bad luck that they happened to run into us capturing Pokémon. In order to avoid being exposed, we had no choice but to take them back as well."
Gui Hai listened quietly to their discussion.
He then understood the identities of the people the two men were talking about.
He had previously deduced that there were three groups of people lurking in the forest.
One group consisted of travelers, and according to these two, these guys were already dead, eaten by the so-called 'madmen'.
Another group is poachers. The Revival Society is also unhappy with their behavior and is preparing to eliminate them to cover their tracks.
Gui Hai didn't feel sorry for these guys; he was just curious about these two madmen the Restoration Society had mentioned.
I glanced at the plant that was rolling.
Guihai drew a longsword with two sheaths from the shadows and threw it...
