Elf: Chosen Ranger

Chapter 12 Pokémon Hunter

[Pokémon hunters appear in the southeast of Sunset Forest. 】

Xia Ye, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up from the bed. The knocking monkey sleeping next to him rubbed his eyes and looked at Xia Ye confusedly.

"Pokémon hunter" Xia Ye muttered to himself.

Pokémon hunters are a group of dangerous guys who engage in illegal occupations. They capture rare Pokémon and sell them to the black market for illegal trade in order to make high profits. They are the targets of severe crackdowns by the Alliance.

As the ranger of Sunset Forest, Xia Ye has the responsibility to ensure that Pokémon in the forest are not harmed by Pokémon hunters.

He quickly stood up and put on his clothes and said to the knocking monkey:
"Someone is threatening the Pokémon in the forest, Knocker. We have to act quickly."

The knocking monkey immediately woke up after hearing Xia Ye's words. It gave Xia Ye a firm look and then jumped on Xia Ye's shoulders.

"Hehe, this operation was very successful."

The tall and thin man in a black coat looked at the six Morubeks in the cage and grinned. His name is Blanc, and he is a novice Pokémon hunter.

A cunning fox beside Blanc made a cunning cry, which was very consistent with his master's temperament.

"But it's really strange. This group of Morubei neither eats the fruit nor changes their form, so all the fruit I prepared were in vain."

The tall and lanky man dropped the bag in his hand. He heard from the gossip that there were many morubekos in this forest, so he planned this poaching operation.

"Huh, but this way we can sell it at a good price." He rubbed his hands, his eyes full of greed.

Morbeko is not a rare Pokémon in Galar, but it is different in other regions. Morbeko is basically not distributed.

Blanc planned to sneak into the Kanto area and sell Molubek on the black market. The residents of that area were famous for their love of electric rats, and they would definitely not let go of this Pokémon that was unique to the area.

"Ah, with this capital, I will be able to make a comeback. When I become a rich man, I will let those guys lick my shoes."

The tall and thin man fell into fantasy. He spent a lot of money, attracting the envious eyes of the people around him. Suddenly, he felt something tugging at his trousers, and when he lowered his head, he saw that it was a cunning fox.

"Ah, what's wrong? I'm happy right now?"

Blanc looked at where the cunning fox's head was pointing. A Molubek was hiding behind a tree trunk and staring at him with round eyes.

"One more is better, not too much, not too much, hehe."

He picked up the net and tiptoed towards Morubeko. In his eyes, Morubeko was shining gold.

Suddenly, two sharp leaves flew out from the dark forest, spinning and cutting off the net in Blanc's hand.

"what!"

Blanc showed a horrified expression. He waved the stick in his hand and shouted into the depths of the forest, but the only response was his own echo.

"Fuck, is this a Pokémon from this forest? Hey, Sly Fox, come here quickly."

As he spoke, he backed away from the cunning fox, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

The cunning fox jumped to Blanc's side. It looked forward with its brown pupils and let out a harsh roar. The dark energy spread deep into the forest along with the sound waves.

"You've got the nerve to come out and confront me head-on!" Blanc yelled to embolden himself. It was because he was afraid that others would discover him that he chose to come to the Sunset Forest late at night.

Two sharp leaves flew out from behind him with a whoosh. The cunning fox jumped into the air and swept the leaves aside with its fluffy tail. A piece of its originally huge tail was instantly missing.

"What the hell, you're not very strong. Don't worry about me, the cunning fox. Just kill the guy who is hiding. I know you have a good nose." Blanc fell into a mysterious self-confidence, and the cunning fox showed a helpless expression. His master It doesn't seem very smart, but the other party has been engaging in sneak attacks like this, so his hard power probably isn't enough.

The cunning fox thought about it and decided to take the initiative. They are cunning by nature and only do things that have a high chance of winning.

It rushed toward the location where the Flying Leaf Blade was thrown with a deft pace, revealing its sharp teeth.

"Now, the branches are thorny!"

Xia Ye's shout made Sly Dahu stunned for a moment, and the wooden branches pierced and groaned. Sure enough, your strength is not that good. Let me easily deal with you.

The cunning fox was full of confidence, and the tone-tapping monkey sprinted out of the darkness. The wooden stick in its hand emitted a dazzling green light. The cunning fox opened its mouth wide, raised its head and decided to tear the tiny monkey in front of it into pieces.

"Roar!"

I can't breathe, it hurts so much, what's going on, this kind of power!
The cunning fox's eyes widened. It glanced at the ground with the corner of its eye. A wooden stick was pressed fiercely against its throat. The sound-tapping monkey suddenly pulled out, and it had a chance to breathe.

He can't defeat this opponent. He must run away. He must run away!
The tone-tapping monkey grabbed its cheek with one hand and used the help of the cunning fox to climb up on its head. Its eyes could not even keep up with the speed of the tone-tapping monkey's movement. The shining green stick hit the top of its head heavily. The cunning fox suddenly felt dizzy, and his chin came into close contact with the ground.

"acrobatics."

The knocking monkey, which exuded the color of the blue sky, was like an emerald green phantom, surrounding the cunning fox and punching and kicking it. In just a moment, the cunning fox was punched four times, kicked three times, and hit with a wooden stick. Finish on the flanks.

The cunning fox lay on the ground like a dead dog, losing its ability to fight. Blanc's smile froze on his face. He couldn't believe that his cunning fox was killed instantly by a Pokémon that only a novice could use.

Xia Ye slowly walked out of the depths of the forest. He glanced at Molubeke in the cage, and then turned to look at Blanc who was stunned.

Unexpectedly, due to the optimization of the piercing fruit, Morube would not transform into the fasting state, but would lose its aggressiveness, so it was easily captured by the tall and thin man in front of him.

"Who are you!" Blanc came back to his senses and asked loudly, how could someone appear in the forest in the middle of the night, or in such a remote forest.

"I am the ranger of this forest." Xia Ye replied coldly.

Blanc's face was ashen. Being discovered by a ranger for poaching in the forest was no different than being caught by the police and sent to jail. Poaching was one of the most serious violations in the Alliance.

"Actually, this is my first time doing this kind of thing. Please let me go. You see, you wouldn't be happy with such an annoying Pokémon staying in the forest." Blanc immediately chose to beg for mercy. The young man in front of him looked kind. Maybe let yourself go.

"Where's the key?" Xia Ye slowly walked towards Blanc.

"Here, here." Blanc smiled awkwardly as he took the key from his waist and threw it on the ground. He stared at Xia Ye and ran behind him the moment he lowered his head to pick it up.

As long as I run away, you can't convict me. I am, old...
The sharp-eyed blue jay suddenly swooped out of the darkness, and Blanc was startled and sat down on the ground.

"It's over."

"Haha, haha, what I am like is a problem of this society. If only I had a formal job like you!" Blanc also wanted to create opportunities through sophistry.

Xia Ye took out the hemp rope and tied him tightly from behind, looking at him with cold eyes. The moonlight reflected Xia Ye's cheek, showing no mercy.

"Alas!"

Blanc rolled his eyes and foamed at the mouth. At the last moment of losing consciousness, he vaguely heard a sentence, which also showed no mercy.

"Leave this kind of nonsense to the police."
