Chapter 124 — What Are You So Proud Of, Traitor?

When Daigo made this suggestion, everyone present lit up.

Indeed, this was definitely a good solution.

What's the best way to restrain a monster too powerful to control?

Of course, it's to find an even stronger monster.

And for Hoopa Unbound, Sun Wuming was undoubtedly the best guardian.

Hoopa Unbound's expression was complicated, but just as Brother Xun had said—

Human nature always tends toward compromise and middle ground.

For instance, if you say this room is too dark and needs a window, everyone will surely object.

But if you suggest tearing down the roof, they'll compromise and agree to add a window.

Previously, Hoopa Unbound would never have agreed to follow a human.

Much less be confined in a Poké Ball.

However, after spending a hundred years trapped in a bottle.

Comparing the two, it felt that sleeping in a Poké Ball and being able to come out freely for fresh air whenever it wanted.

Didn't seem so bad after all.

Meilie's eyes couldn't help but show approval.

Indeed, this was absolutely the best solution.

"Catch this guy?"

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Sun Wuming's tone carried a subtle hint of... disdain.

Well, Hoopa Unbound's appearance didn't meet Sun Wuming's "seven-five-seven" standard for catching Pokémon.

As a proper macho man, Sun Wuming preferred the cute types.

"Big brother, I beg you to stop messing around, okay?"

Karena leaned close to Sun Wuming's ear and said tearfully:

"Please, I'm begging you, just catch it already!"

Having spent so much time with Sun Wuming, Karena had picked up some strange vocabulary.

If they let Hoopa Unbound run wild, combined with its ability to freely summon legendaries.

Who knows what kind of trouble it could cause.

When that time comes, Kalos would be the first to suffer.

Sun Wuming stroked his chin and looked at Hoopa Unbound again.

After their eyes met for a long while, Sun Wuming extended a hand to Hoopa Unbound, holding out a Poké Ball in his palm as he invited:

"Want to come along?"

Hoopa Unbound's feelings were extremely complicated right now.

Mainly because of that hint of hesitation and disdain Sun Wuming had shown earlier, which made it feel quite uncomfortable.

With its power, to think there would be a day when someone would look down on it?

However, after only a few seconds of hesitation, Hoopa Unbound adopted a "nothing left to lose" attitude and reached out its hand, pressing the switch in the center of the Poké Ball.

Biu~

The ball opened, releasing a red light that drew Hoopa Unbound inside.

Without even a shake, the red light in the center switch only flashed once before settling.

"At this point, should I say 'Hoopa, get daze'?"

Sun Wuming turned to ask Karena.

Karena rolled her eyes, secretly sighing that this guy was really childish, but... also kind of cute.

"Um, Champion Karena."

At this time, an Officer Jenny who appeared to be the squad leader came over and greeted Karena:

"We've now confirmed the crimes of Team Flare... no, criminal Lysandre and Pachira and others, can we take them into custody back to the police station now?"

Karena nodded, "Yes, thank you for your trouble, but please keep the operation discreet, don't let it be discovered, after all... this matter is very sensitive."

Officer Jenny also nodded to show she understood.

At this point, Sun Wuming thought of something and asked Daigo:

"What sentence will that guy get after being arrested?"

"Hmm?"

Daigo was startled by the question, and after thinking for a few seconds said:

"According to League law, Lysandre has committed very serious crimes, so barring any unexpected circumstances, he should face life imprisonment."

What the fuck?

These four words popped into Sun Wuming's mind as he said with an incredulous expression:

"For something this big, you're not going to execute him?"

A psychopath who tried to destroy the Kalos region, and his ultimate punishment is just life in prison?

Isn't this crime cost way too low?

Daigo shrugged and said: "There's no death penalty in League law, life imprisonment is already the heaviest sentence, though Champion Lance from Kanto has been trying to push for the death penalty, but hasn't succeeded."

Well, it was rare for Sun Wuming to agree with Lance the Elite's viewpoint.

Though he had lived in this world for over a year now.

And realized that most of the Pokémon world was good.

But Sun Wuming still felt the death penalty was necessary.

He could vaguely understand why every region had large criminal organizations now.

It was because the cost of crime was too low.

But Sun Wuming wasn't an expert in this area, and didn't care to manage too much.

Right now he just simply felt that if they really only gave Lysandre life in prison, it was too lenient for that lion-head.

"Wait,"

Thinking of this, Sun Wuming darkly spoke up, stopping Officer Jenny's squad from taking Lysandre away.

Then under everyone's gaze, Sun Wuming grabbed Meilie's wrist and walked up to the handcuffed Lysandre.

And took out a fruit knife from Serena's bag, handing it to Meilie, "Here."

"Don't you want revenge?"

At these words, the Officer Jenny squad's expressions suddenly changed, and they instinctively wanted to have their Arcanine stop Sun Wuming's extrajudicial punishment.

However, before the Officers could act.

Daigo had already raised his hand to stop them, shaking his head to indicate they shouldn't get involved.

If they really angered Sun Wuming, no one could predict what would happen.

Meilie gripped the fruit knife, her pupils constricted, meeting the gaze of Lysandre who, despite his crushing defeat, still maintained a proud demeanor.

"Hmph, I'll admit I failed this time."

Lysandre coldly snorted:

"Go ahead, little girl."

Slap!

Just as Lysandre finished speaking, a heavy slap struck his face, sending his nearly two-meter tall frame staggering to his knees.

A bloody tooth flew from his mouth.

Sun Wuming, who had delivered the slap, wore a disgusted expression as he said:

"What are you so proud of, traitor?"

Sun Wuming then said to Meilie:

"Alright, now you can do it."

However, after a full half minute passed, Meilie still stood there like a wooden post.

Her hands holding the knife trembled constantly, until finally it fell to the ground with a "clang."

Then, Meilie covered her face with both hands and sobbed:

"No... I can't! I... I can't do it... wuu wuu wuu... brother..."

Karena walked over and embraced Meilie, unable to bear seeing her like this.

Ah, this poor child.

"Well, she is just a teenage girl after all..."

Sun Wuming showed understanding about this too.

He spoke again:

"Is there anyone else who wants to do it? If not, I'll do it myself."

Sun Wuming's words weren't just directed at humans, but included Pokémon too.

After all, there were even legendaries present who had been persecuted by Team Flare, such as...

[I'll do it!]

A voice that sounded like a middle school kid echoed in everyone's ears...

They saw a slug-like creature with a blue chip-like marking on its belly rapidly slithering toward Sun Wuming's direction.

In just a few seconds, it transformed from a slug into its 10% Dog Forme.

Zygarde Blue Core!

Indeed, it had suffered terribly at the hands of Team Flare led by Lysandre before.

If among humans, Meilie was the one who most wanted to kill Lysandre but couldn't bring herself to do it.

Then among Pokémon, it was undoubtedly the Blue Core.

The Dog Forme Blue Core approached Lysandre without any hesitation, its face dark and murderous intent palpable.

Even a rookie like Lillie could feel Blue Core's chilling killing intent.

Sun Wuming quietly pulled Marnie and Serena into his arms, making the two young women face away from Blue Core.

Sun Wuming then noticed the uncertain Lillie and asked:

"Do you want to come over too? The following scene isn't suitable for children."

Lillie hesitated for a moment, but still obediently moved to Sun Wuming's side, hiding behind him.

I'm not a child.

Marnie grumbled in her heart.

"Woof!"

Then, they heard the Dog Forme Blue Core let out a vengeful howl.

What followed was Lysandre's heart-rending screams.

The motherly Serena and well-behaved Lillie were so frightened they tightly gripped Sun Wuming's clothes at his chest and back.

Even Marnie was scared enough to huddle close in Sun Wuming's embrace.

"Ugh..."

Even former Champion Daigo and current Champion Karena felt nauseated seeing this scene, and quietly turned their faces away.

This showed just how angry Blue Core was.

[Blue Core...]

The Red Core silently watched this scene from not far away, its feelings complicated.

Finally, Lysandre's voice along with his presence disappeared completely.

The Dog Forme Blue Core raised its head, its mouth covered in blood.

"That's disgusting..."

Sun Wuming silently watched this scene, took out a Poké Ball to release the newly caught Hoopa Unbound, and said with a wave of disgust:

"Get rid of this pixelated mess, whether you throw it in the sea to feed Sharpedo or into the forest to feed Mightyena is up to you."

Hoopa Unbound felt complicated - the first time it was called out was just to clean up garbage?

But Hoopa Unbound still obediently released its rings and transported away the pixelated mess on the ground.

As for whether it ultimately became Sharpedo or Mightyena droppings, that remained unknown.

At this time, the Dog Forme Blue Core changed back into a slug, and the Red Core also came over, saying:

[Let's go.]

"I quite like that vengeful personality."

Sun Wuming suddenly said to the two slugs:

"If you're interested, want to come with me? I can make you stronger."

Hmm!?

Hoopa Unbound made a Husky-like expression.

That wasn't your attitude toward me earlier!

[I've lost all hope in humans]

Blue Core coldly replied, quickly disappearing into the desert depths with Red Core.

It seems from today onwards, another major player will be added to the legendary Pokémon faction that holds humans in contempt.

Well, this is the evil fruit that humans have sown.
