Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 424: Shake someone! ? Homeland Defense War!

A confrontation in transparent smoke ended inexplicably. Although the beginning was also quite strange.

It was also the first time that Nan Fang met Yu Jin in person.

But before that, he specifically asked Yashida for photos and personal information of the leaders of each battle facility. At first, Yashida didn't want to give it to Nanfang, saying that only unknown adventures can bring the fun of challenges and feel the meaning of the journey.

Nan Fang was speechless. He said that he simply wanted their photos and names, in case there were any misunderstandings when the names didn't match.

After all, I have been eager to go home and can't wait to return to my home.

After Yashida understood it, he happily told it to him.

The old man in front of him was none other than Yu Jin himself, the leader of the Battle Palace.

He also seems to be a forest ranger. Looking at Yu Jin's priestly attire... maybe the bosses have some different ideas.

Dara had said before that this old man was a bit elusive, but she didn't expect to meet him today when she was about to go to the port.

Meeting is fate. Since we have met, we can't help but have some thoughts. Nan Fang feels lucky.

"I'm sorry, my friend. I have official business to attend to today, so I can't fight you. If you have enough time, you can stay on my metal island for a while."

"Once I have finished my work, I will discuss with you as much as I can. What do you think?"

After Nanfang expressed his desire to challenge immediately, Yu Jin pondered for a moment and spoke.

"Well, how long will it take? Do you think I can help?" Nan Fang was very enthusiastic.

"Well... theoretically speaking, if I can finish my work here ahead of time, then I can return to Metal Island a little earlier."

"Then...if you don't mind, please move and go forward with me."

Yu Jin hesitated for a moment and then extended an invitation to Nan Fang.

The South readily agreed.

He really wanted to go home early.

In fact, the work of a forest ranger is neither difficult nor easy.

It's nothing more than patrolling back and forth in the dense forest every day to prevent some criminals from stealing or robbing some precious trees or the Pokémon living in the forest.

Or it could be dealing with conflicts and fights between indigenous tribes and indigenous Pokémon, tribes and tribes, and Pokémon and Pokémon in the dense forests.

A small number of matters involve dealing with ordinary people, adventurers and trainers who have strayed into the jungle and lost their way.

Although the general work can be summarized in just a few sentences, you have to know that the scope of these affairs is a whole dense forest of unknown size.

Fortunately, with the help of Venusaur, Yukin can move around in this dense forest with ease.

Therefore, Yu Jin has a very high prestige in this entire dense forest.

The reason why Yujin appeared here this time was to deal with a daily conflict between humans and Pokémon. The so-called daily, of course, is something that has happened frequently before.

It turns out that with the increasing development and progress of cities, wood, the raw material required for most daily materials, is being used in large quantities. This is a problem that every country and every region is facing, and it can be said to be a major global problem.

Although various regions are trying their best to control the use of wood, save various costs, and invent various other materials to replace it, there is still a very tight gap in the supply of wood, which is the most primitive, most commonly used and easiest to mine.

When Nan Fang learned about this problem, he couldn't help but sigh. No matter in which world, the protection of nature is one of the most serious problems at present.

Some of it is old news.

The problem that Yu Jin encountered this time was related to a mining team officially employed by the government.

Due to an engineering problem, the government needed a large amount of a special kind of wood.

This special wood happens to be relatively rare on this metal island, and is the home of a large number of grass-type Pokémon.

While the mining team was working, inevitably, the grass-type Pokémon on the island spontaneously formed a "resistance army" to hinder the mining team's work.

At the beginning, the mining teams chose a more gentle way of confrontation, using some sound waves or smells that were harmless to these Pokémon to drive away these grass-type Pokémon.

But the resistance of these Pokémons was much more intense than expected. They even used some large-scale moves that were somewhat "lethal" to humans to destroy mining equipment, or even directly attack humans.

This is something people don't want to see at all.

Finally, there was no other way, and the leaders of the mining team could only ask for help from Mr. Yu Jin, the "boss" of the dense forest, to see if he could help coordinate.

But when it comes down to it, that forest of special wood is the foundation on which these Pokémon live and die.

Mr. Yu Jin is also quite troubled by this.

"Can't we change the material?"

"After all, protecting special tree species is actually protecting humanity's own home," Nan Fang said.

“I’ve suggested this to them before.”

"But you know, the leaders of a combat facility like us are theoretically in a neutral position after all. We don't have much influence on South Island's decision-making."

"In fact, I took on the role of a forest ranger because I wanted to protect this forest."

"They are showing me great respect by coming to ask for my advice and help."

Yu Jin shook his head helplessly.

“Can we mine less?”

"It means mining in moderation without affecting the survival of Pokémon."

"To be honest, many of these Pokémon in the forest were forced to leave their former homes and migrate to this island because of excessive exploitation by humans."

"In their hearts, they no longer trust these humans."

"Besides, as the head of the government, I cannot influence the government's plan. According to them, that is already the minimum mining volume in the plan. After all, they have already considered the impact on the environment at the beginning of the plan."

Nan Fang snorted in disdain when he heard this.

He doesn't believe such nonsense.

"boom--!"

During the conversation, a roar suddenly came from a distance.

"Oh no, it looks like those Pokémon have started again, we better hurry over there."

After saying that, Yu Jin ended his inspection for the day and rushed to the construction site with Nan Fang.

-

"Are these Pokémon crazy? They even use Destruction Rays!?"

At this time, a man who looked like the leader of the mining team shouted with horror on his face.

"Quick! Let those strong men and those iron-boned earthmen and old builders come out to stop them!"

Li Fugui was also a leader, so he immediately stood up and issued a series of orders.

Outside the gate of their mining team's construction site, a large group of Grass-type Pokémon, led by a Tropical Dragon standing in the front, were staring at them eagerly.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up! I'll fire you!"

Li Fugui yelled at a young worker who was filming outside the door with his mobile phone.

"Oh...oh okay!"

The young worker took back his phone and immediately turned around and ran back.

"Who is so blind as to hire such a stupid temporary worker?"

Li Fugui grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Soon, a large group of muscular men lined up and stood at the gate of the construction site like a thick wall.

The tropical dragon outside the door looked slightly condensed, "Miao——!"

It raised its long neck and roared towards the sky.

Behind it, all kinds of grass-type Pokémon stepped forward. From small ones like Grasshopper, Acorn and Mushroom to large ones like Venusaur, Tyrannosaurus and Coconut Tree. In short, as long as they could perform a move, they all started charging their moves at the same time.

“Miao——!”

At the command of the Tropical Dragon, various moves bloomed like a hundred flowers, and were thrown continuously and madly towards the construction site.

"Those who know how to defend, use it!"

"If you can't hold it, then use your body to hold it!"

Li Fugui became furious, and was already filled with anger in his heart.

"If you keep doing this, I'm going to be rude to you!"

"Everyone, charge!"

"As long as you can't kill me, beat me hard!"

"Beat them until they surrender!"

The workers around were all stunned. They actually didn't want to use force against these wild Pokémon. They had destroyed their homes first, and now they were using force to drive them away. This was too inhumane.

But those who can come here to work are all workers who need to make a living. They have no choice.

Just when these "muscular men" had prepared themselves mentally and were ready to rush forward to decide the outcome.

A gigantic Bulbasaur came to the center of the battlefield with short but powerful steps.

"Everyone stop!"

Yujin appeared in front of everyone, leaning on a cane and following behind Bulbasaur.

Seeing that it was the old man who came forward, Li Fugui waved his hand to stop the "macho men".

"Mr. Yu Jin! You are finally back!"

"You have to give us an explanation today! If you can't stop these Pokémon from doing this, then you can't blame us for not giving you face!"

"The higher-ups are pushing us hard, and we are just some lousy underlings. It's hard for us to do anything like this!!!"

Li Fugui spoke with great emotion, after all, he did not want to use force as a last resort. If any worker or Pokémon was injured, not only would the construction schedule be delayed, but a large part of their medical expenses would also have to be compensated. This deal was not worth it at all.

Nan Fang, who was standing by, was furious when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do.

Yu Jin said nothing and slowly walked to the side of the tropical dragon.

"Tropical Dragon, I know you won't believe the promises of these people."

"But can you give me a chance?"

"As long as I am at this construction site, I will never let them mine any more grass or trees."

"Only a small part of the edge. If they dare to cross it, I will drive them out of the Metal Island!"

"I swear in the name of the head of the Battle Palace!"

Yu Jin took the cane and placed it heavily on the ground. The root of the cane was inserted directly into the ground to a depth of more than 20 centimeters, causing the surrounding soil to crack.

"Let this crutch be the boundary!"

At this moment, Yu Jin's powerful aura when fighting against the leader invisibly suppressed the entire audience.

The tropical dragon stared deeply at the turmeric in front of him for a moment in silence, then slowly took a step back.

It made compromises.

"Wait...Wait a minute Mr. Yu Jin!"
