Pokemon The Force - Volume 4: A New Journey In Hoenn Chapter 117 13: Finding Old Problems

Soul left Slateport city today as he walked through Route 10. When he arrived there, he saw the famous Seaside Cycling Road. Taking the route would help you avoid the wild Pokemon under the road.

Even though Soul wanted to take the quick road, he still needs to catch some new Pokemon soon to fill the rest of the team in.

So he decided to go to the wild as he saw several shores on the road. Walking on the road, Soul looked around to see if he could find any Pokemon, but something was off

He hasn’t seen or sensed a single Pokemon while walking through the forest. The tree’s leaves were falling as a breeze could be heard within the empty forest. It looked like something straight out of a horror movie.

Soul: ‘Something seems fishy I should go and find where the Pokemon is with the compass.’

Taking out the Compass of Greed, Soul used it to find the direction of where the closest Pokemon is. The compass pointed into the east of the forest, having a direction to go to, Soul walked in without hesitation.

While walking deeper and deeper into the forest, Soul sensed a fraction of the life of a Pokemon nearby. He tossed the compass back to the inventory as he walked to where the source of life of a Pokemon was.

Reaching there, Soul saw a tree trunk with a hole on top of a branch. He jumped up with the help of the force as he went to look into the hole. What he saw next made him surprised as a heavily injured Ralts, who was currently unconscious.

He took the injured Ralts out of the hole and began to heal it. It didn’t take long before all of Ralts’ injures were gone since it was small, which made it easier for Soul to heal it due to how small the energy that was needed to use to heal it.

After he was done, Ralts was still unconscious, so Soul took out a Poke Ball and gently tapped it on Ralts head. It didn’t make a resistance as Ralts was captured by Soul.

Soul: ‘For now I’m keeping it. Its the only clue I have currently.’

He sends the Poke Ball into the inventory as he suddenly felt more presence of two humans and two Pokemon. What was weird about the Pokemon is that their aura was… chaotic, almost as if it was just a doll… Soul felt it too when he first saw Shadow Mewtwo in the first person, but this was stronger than the first time he saw it.

Suddenly a realization hit him as he quickly jumped from tree branches to another and reached to where they were. Looking down, Soul could see two males wearing black clothes that looked like a ninja suit from old Asia.

What caught Soul’s attention though was the two Shiftry’s that stood behind both of them. They looked more sinister than normal, not only that, they gave off a dark aura as both of their eyes were red.

He didn’t strike them immediately as he wanted to hear what ‘they’ are doing here. So he remained hidden from their eyes and other senses.

???: Hey where do you think that Ralts went?

??? 2: I don’t know, but wed better find it quickly or our boss would get mad at us again.

Remembering what tortures they went through because they failed one mission last time made them shiver.

???: A-Anyways let’s continue and find it, all of the other Pokemon have already been extracted, only one remains.

??? 2: Hopefully it didn’t die yet from the move we’d used. Who knew it could use Double Team and Teleport? It would be a good test subject for us, right?

???: Yeah, I mean look at those Shiftry’s, they don’t even have a will of their own and are stronger than they could ever dream of to be. Just a mindless tool for us to use, haha!

??? 2: Alright, alright. Let’s go find that Ralts and finish our job.

Soul: That won’t be necessary.

What happened next was too quick as both Shiftry’s was knocked out by Anubis, as Soul shot both of them with his E.T.D Pistols, its an acronym for Element Type Dual Pistols with a short charge of electric-type that stuns them both for a while.

Jumping down from the tree, Soul pointed one of the pistols at one of them.

Soul: Tell me everything, and I’ll let you go. And let’s face the fact that you can’t say no because we know what happens if you say no.

He said that with his right eye glowed, he would make sure to check every detail on the surroundings to see if they would try anything funny.

???: W-Who are you?

After he said that, Soul pulled the trigger as the one who asked him the question felt pain from getting hit by electricity.

Soul: I’m the one who asks the question. That’s my role here, your role is to answer it. Tell me everything about where your base is, what your mission is, everything about what you know about Project S.L.

??? 2: How do you know about-

Pulling the trigger once again, Soul hit the second grunt on his knees with a higher voltage of electricity.

??? 2: Agh!

Soul: Don’t test my patience, fool.

???: Ok, ok! Please stop! We talk, we walk!

They told him everything about what they were doing and where their base was. Must to Soul annoyance, they had other bases here in Hoenn.

???: We told you everything, can you leave us now?

Soul: Yeah, I’ll leave you.

Hearing this, both of their faces brighten until Soul said the next word destroying their hopes and dreams.

Soul: To the police, that is.

After that, he knocked them both out and returned the weird Shiftry’s to their Poke Balls and called a local police station and told them where to meet him.

Tying them up, Soul pulled them towards the meeting point as a police car could be seen, Officer Jenny stood outside of the car as Soul landed on the ground with both of the grunts, unconscious.

She was surprised by the sudden entrance that she pulled a gun and pointed it towards Soul, who didn’t care about it.

Soul: Here, they are the ones who I told you about back at the station. Here’s their Poke Ball, hopefully, you can ‘save’ them.

Jenny: What-

Before she could finish, Soul went back to the forest and disappeared from her sight. Officer Jenny didn’t know what happened, but still did her job and arrested both of the grunts and confiscated their Poke Balls, and left the place.
