Liu Jinbiao, a native hunter skilled in forest combat, was like a fish in water after entering Dacang Mountain.
The Forked Bat that had been with him since its youth had its ultrasonic moves developed to a high level through targeted training.
Not only had the Forked Bat reached a professional level, but even the Pokemon of professional trainers were unable to detect its sound waves.
Liu Jinbiao was confident about this. Even the superpower-imbued Psychic Type Pokemon would fail to perceive them... Unless the opponent was master level, but why would Master Level Trainers of Hua Nation bother to chase after a lowly poacher like him?
Based on Liu Jinbiao's many years of experience, for someone of his insignificant status, as long as he didn't stir up trouble while fleeing, he wouldn't even encounter trainers!
"I hope they don't chase too closely. I don't want to hurt anyone," Liu Jinbiao thought grimly. Besides being a trainer, he had self-taught many skills over the years to protect himself, such as sniping. After learning it, Liu Jinbiao discovered he had a strong talent for it.
Although he might not be the most powerful in Red Siamese Cat, when it came to survival abilities, and fighting for life and death in such complex terrain, Liu Jinbiao was very confident, even more so than the boss of the Red Siamese Cat.
If he could lock on to his target with the aid of Pokemon, he could take down an opposing trainer with a sniper rifle within four hundred meters!
Of course, that was provided the trainer he aimed at wasn't constantly protected by Pokemon. Liu Jinbiao knew all too well that sniping a trainer protected by Pokemon was incredibly difficult.
But despite his abilities, Liu Jinbiao didn't dare to harm the trainers pursuing him. He could possibly escape if he kept hiding, but if he hurt them, escape would be out of the question.
Provoking the professional trainers of Hua Nation would be the end of him, no matter how skilled he was.
Now that daylight had broke, Liu Jinbiao, having only eaten some compressed biscuits, wasn't in good shape. He planned to steal some Tree Fruit from a Pokemon habitat to quench his thirst.
"Chi chi—"
However, not long after, the Forked Bat beside Liu Jinbiao suddenly sent out an alarm.
Invisible ultrasonic waves relayed the information back – the enemy was nearby!
"Damn it!" Liu Jinbiao tensed as he heard the Forked Bat's warning.
The Forked Bat had captured the enemy's position with its ultrasonics, but soon after, it lost the target...
Liu Jinbiao realized that this time, the opponent was definitely a professional trainer or someone of that caliber; otherwise, they wouldn't have evaded the Forked Bat's scouting.
Liu Jinbiao clenched his teeth and picked up the sniper rifle being held by the Toxicroak, ready for the worst.
"Have we been spotted?"
Meanwhile, in the sky, Mr. Fang Yuan, riding on a Dragonite, furrowed his eyebrows...
But it was of little consequence. The ultrasonic wave was promptly shielded by the Thought Wave from an Eevee.
Although he was discovered by the opponent, it also meant that he had finally located the enemy!
"Pinpoint the enemy's location... Never mind... Self-detonating Magnemite, use Gravity to cover the whole area within sight and force the enemy to show themselves," Fang Yuan ordered ruthlessly.
Upon hearing this cruel order, Eevee, Glutton, Dragonite, and the others did not doubt that if Self-detonating Magnemite failed to coax the enemy out, Fang Yuan would immediately command a bombardment with a Railgun...
...
"Where exactly are they!"
Liu Jinbiao hid in the jungle, his heart pounding.
He was ready to snipe, but even with the combined efforts of four Pokemon, they couldn't pinpoint the enemy's location.
This time's enemy was like a ghost, without a tangible body.
"Is the power gap really this large?!" Liu Jinbiao fretted.
Boom!!!
Before Liu Jinbiao could ponder any longer, a massive presence ruthlessly enveloped him all of a sudden.
The user of Gravity, the Self-detonating Magnemite, had its gears spinning clockwise on one side and counter-clockwise on the other as it rotated parallelly, stirring up Electromagnetic Power to create energy and assist itself in completing a super-wide-range radar.
Following Fang Yuan's command, the gravity field created by Self-detonating Magnemite was weak, only about two to three times that of Earth's gravity. By weakening gravity strength, a much larger area was covered.
This indiscriminate, wide-range gravity field immediately affected Liu Jinbiao and his Pokemon below.
Caught in the gravity field, Liu Jinbiao showed a look of shock as he commanded his Pokemon to quickly resist. But with this resistance, they were precisely located by the radar.
Buzz!!!
The gravity field rapidly narrowed, and as its range decreased, the strength of gravity on the Pokemon intensified. Under the control of Self-detonating Magnemite, Liu Jinbiao's three flying Pokemon were forced to the ground, struggling to fly.
Toxicroak was also pushed into a half-kneel by the gravity, finding it hard to move.
In an instant, seeing his four Pokemon fall one after another, Liu Jinbiao's scalp tingled; his firearm could no longer provide any sense of safety.
The next moment, however, Liu Jinbiao found himself immobilized, not by the gravity but by a vast confining psychic force!
"Gravity, Superpower!!" Liu Jinbiao was horrified, realizing he was up against a professional trainer well-versed in the Psychic Type.
What had he done to draw the attention of such an individual...
Thump!
After being held up by the psychic force, Liu Jinbiao's sniper rifle fell to the ground.
Moments later, Fang Yuan and his Dragonite also landed.
Seeing the enemy with a Dragonite, Liu Jinbiao was utterly despondent.
"How terrifying, it's actually a sniper rifle..."
After landing, Fang Yuan also noticed the sniper rifle that had fallen to the ground.
He was aware that the adversary might have firearms, but with a Sun Eevee and a Self-detonating Magnetic Monster by his side, firearms weren't frightening.
After a bullet was shot, encountering Eevee's psychic field and the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster's electromagnetic field, it probably couldn't even fly.
With a Self-detonating Magnetic Monster nearby, modern weapons were useless, not just firearms—even a fighter jet would be futile. The electromagnetic phenomena triggered by the interaction of psychic waves and electromagnetic waves could directly destroy any electronic device…
However, Fang Yuan was curious, which could capture a bullet faster, psychic power or magnetism?
"How terrifying?"
Hearing Fang Yuan's mutterings, Liu Jinbiao coughed up blood.
A poacher, over and over, while declaring 'how terrifying'—I am wronged.
"Wait a minute…" Suddenly, Liu Jinbiao, who was being controlled by Sun Eevee's psychic power and hanging in mid-air, realized that Fang Yuan looked somewhat familiar.
"Who on Earth are you…" Liu Jinbiao racked his brain, but he just couldn't remember.
Did he know such a young and powerful Trainer?
He tried desperately to recall, as it concerned the rest of his life…
Fang Yuan paid no attention to him, instead instructing Glutton and Eevee to take out those Pokemon first.
At his feet, there was now a large shadow, a vast black area, much like a black Other Shore Flower.
The petals transformed into arms and palms, emerging from the ground like hands of hell, and in the terrified gaze of Liu Jinbiao, seized all four of his Pokemon…
This use of Shadow Contract could attack as well as protect Fang Yuan.
Glutton was like Gaara's gourd in Naruto, able to create a Shadow Shield for defense… It's just that Fang Yuan and Glutton's coordination wasn't yet brilliant.
Under the dual control of gravity and Shadow Immobilization, Liu Jinbiao's four Pokemon couldn't move at all.
Eevee followed up with an Illusion Technique, a formidable Mental Shock that immediately knocked all four Pokemon out.
"Uh, did you just ask who I am?" Fang Yuan looked up at this burly, dark-skinned poacher and pondered:
"I am the Marine Admiral, Borsalino, code name, Kizaru."
Liu Jinbiao: "Damn, Admiral, stop kidding me!!"
"Then… a Qingyun Gate Disciple, Han Li?"
Liu Jinbiao was at a loss, wondering what the question meant.
"Qingyun Gate? A Trainer Dojo?" Liu Jinbiao murmured, the dojo seemed terrifying, to have trained such a strong Trainer.
Before Liu Jinbiao could reflect further, he suddenly noticed Fang Yuan taking out a communicator, apparently ready to report his task completion.
Seeing this, Liu Jinbiao was completely petrified; he really didn't want to spend the rest of his life in prison.
"No… you can't touch that."
Fang Yuan: ???
Fang Yuan looked up at the man, suspecting him of inappropriate talk—what kind of outrageous words were those?
"Accept your fate. If you have to blame anyone, blame yourself for joining a lousy poaching gang. If you'd joined Rocket Team, maybe someone would bail you out." Fang Yuan dialed the communicator under the man's despairing gaze and notified the police outside that he had completed his assessment task.
Time taken, 31 minutes and 31 seconds, rounded up to 0 seconds to complete,
"Rocket Team…" Liu Jinbiao couldn't dispute his time with Red Siamese Cat, but what was Rocket Team?
...
Less than an hour had passed since Fang Yuan departed.
Instructor Xu, Professor Zhou, and others outside Chuan'an Town got in touch with Fang Yuan.
"This quick???" Other police officers who received the news also showed surprise.
Arresting Liu Jinbiao meant that Fang Yuan had entirely finished the fourth stage of his assessment, and he worked so hard partly because he wanted to return sooner.
By the time other officers in the woods arrived following the signal, they found Fang Yuan chatting with Liu Jinbiao.
"Mr. Fang Yuan, thank you for your assistance this time," the officers said gratefully to Fang Yuan upon arrival, extending their hands.
Although Fang Yuan was only there for the First Police School assessment, for these regular officers, his help was enormous.
"It was the least I could do. The ones who deserve thanks are you all," Fang Yuan replied, extending his hand with a smile.
At this moment, Liu Jinbiao, who had been sidetracked by Fang Yuan, watched the officers arrive one after another in a daze.
However, suddenly, he seemed to catch a crucial piece of information.
"Fang Yuan? Which Fang Yuan?"
Liu Jinbiao looked at Fang Yuan, first stunned, and then the face of Fang Yuan began to overlap with that of the high school student Fang Yuan in his memory...
Liu Jinbiao: (⊙ˍ⊙)
