Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 405 Saving Private Joey

The three of them, along with a group of Pokémon, spent the entire afternoon working to barely restore the ground to its original level.

Li Shuwen clapped his hands. "If we want to make this earthen platform usable for battle again, the next step of ramming the earth is very important."

It was mainly Li Shuwen and his Pokémon who were reshaping the terrain; not only Crescent Moon, but even Kai didn't help much.

"Kai, take Xinyue to the market and buy more vegetables. We're having mushroom hot pot tonight."

Ah Kai nodded, "Yes, Master!"

Originally, Akai thought Li Shuwen was going to hand over the rammed earth work to him. Longlongyan, Lobster Soldier, is perfect for ramming earth.

There's also Haoli, who also has an inexhaustible amount of strength.

On the way to buy groceries, Xinyue asked in confusion, "Senior brother, Master said that the dojo is short of money, and we have always paid for the maintenance of the dojo ourselves after the dojo competitions every day."

"But why did Master approve so much funding to buy ingredients?"

Ah Kai grinned smugly, "Master said, save where you should, spend where you should, and spend money on the hilt—no, on the blade!"

"Renovating the venue can improve physical fitness and teamwork, so it's unnecessary to spend money on that. But good food can soothe the mind and body!"

"My master has always been very generous with money!"

Although Crescent Moon is a family-trained pharmacist, she is very skilled at precisely controlling the dosage of various ingredients in her medicines.

But Crescent Moon isn't good at cooking.

Because villages that have inherited the tradition of ninjas have no inherent desire to spend money on food.

The period after joining the Veiled Dojo was the best time of New Moon's life in terms of food.

In just over ten days, Xinyue has gained eight pounds.

Crescent Moon felt that her footwork wasn't as light and agile as before when she was shooting arrows.

But faced with the delicious food in front of her, Xinyue couldn't bring herself to refuse.

A flicker of struggle crossed her eyes, but Xinyue still resolutely chose to eat!

We can always practice for an extra hour!

One hour isn't enough, so let's make it two hours!

The new moon also has a youth that needs to burn brightly.

Li Shuwen and his two apprentices were eating hot pot and singing.

Suddenly the phone rang.

Akai picked up the phone and handed it to Li Shuwen, saying, "Master, it's Nurse Joy from the Pokémon Center."

Li Shuwen put down his chopsticks and answered the phone, "Miss Joey, what's up?"

Miss Joey said anxiously, "Something terrible has happened! My cousin, the prosecutor who was in charge of evaluating you today, Joey Qing."

"After performing official duties in the nearby town of Tara, while escorting prisoners back, I was ambushed and wounded by a group of people."

"We're currently trapped in Red Maple Mountain. I've already notified Officer Jenny to send them out, but this group is extremely powerful."

"Not only do they have Pokémon, but they also have League standard weapons that can effectively counter the Pokémon my cousin has."

"Furthermore, they also brought devices to seal Poké Balls, so my cousin could only rely on Latias, Marshadow, and Darkrai, who were hiding around her, to buy time."

"I know the situation is dangerous, but I beg you, Shuwen, to help my cousin. She was targeted for revenge because she was investigating corruption, embezzlement, and dereliction of duty within the Sinnoh League."

Li Shuwen understood; it was because someone couldn't stand the Sinnoh League having such a powerful presence.

To make Qiao Qingtian disappear, they sent someone to shoot him in the back.

By keeping three Pokémon hidden by her side, it's clear that Nurse Joy had already taken precautions against these people.

Li Shuwen narrowed his eyes slightly. "I am naturally willing to take action on this matter."

Good people like Miss Joey shouldn't have guns pointed at them.

Miss Joy replied excitedly, "Thank you so much for your help, Librarian. It would be best if you released your Pokémon before you arrived at Maple Mountain."

"The standard equipment they use limits the diameter of the Poké Ball when it opens to one kilometer."

Li Shuwen nodded, "I understand."

This is a technique that limits the Poké Ball from growing larger after it has shrunk.

The enlarged Poké Ball is quite large and not very convenient to carry around.

The only way to deal with this is to carry a normal Poké Ball with you at all times.

This is why Alderk hangs the Poké Ball around his neck.

Baby Dragon, Eevee, and Magikarp remained at the Veiled Gym.

Gengar hid in the shadows, Li Shuwen rode Milton, and the other Pokémon were stored in normal-sized Poké Balls, all of which were placed in his backpack.

Li Shuwen instructed, "Don't worry about me, eat your food. If you have a good appetite, eat mine too."

Red Maple Mountain is quite far from the Veiled Gym, and with the intense battles in the morning and the venue maintenance in the afternoon, Milton's condition has not fully recovered.

It takes a full hour and a half to fly there.

Li Shuwen only hoped that the injured Miss Joey could hold on until he arrived at the scene.

Pokémon Doctor Nurse Joy's deduction was absolutely correct; the people who attacked Prosecutor Joy were none other than the Minister of Finance's men.

Prosecutor Joey cut off the Treasury Secretary's source of income, and the Treasury Secretary will cut off Prosecutor Joey's livelihood in return.

If Prosecutor Joey still had the same strength, and the Finance Minister's subordinates deployed their forces according to that strength, Prosecutor Joey wouldn't have lasted until Li Shuwen arrived.

However, Li Shuwen's abandoned monkey helped Marshall awaken his true power.

Marshadow in his full-power form was stronger than the assassins had estimated.

They also knew that Prosecutor Joey would leave Marshadow, Darkrai, and Latias outside to protect her safety.

These three Pokémon were taken into account in Prosecutor Nurse Joy's combat strength beforehand.

Even when surrounded by enemies, Prosecutor Joey can still manage a smile.

The injured Nurse Joy carried the heavily wounded Latias away, glancing sideways at Marshadow, who was displaying incredible power, single-handedly punching and kicking more than ten Pokémon and wielding six plasma cannons.

Joey smiled and said, "This time, I really owe it to the librarian's Midas touch; otherwise, I would have been caught by them."

"Whether I live or die is not important; what is important is that Marshall cannot be brought back to the position of Treasury Secretary."

Prosecutor Joey is a good person, but he just doesn't give off a relaxed vibe.

Darkrai flew in the sky, constantly releasing Dark Pulse and Electric Shockwave, fighting against more than twenty Flying-type Pokémon.

Prosecutor Joey had just escaped into a secluded valley.

Ahead, a muscular, chiseled man stood with his hands free, accompanied by Houndoom, Mightyena, Electivire, and Weavile.

"Miss Joey, I personally respect your actions, but as the saying goes, 'He who takes money must do his bidding.' I hope you won't blame me on the road to the underworld."

Latias struggled to his feet, his Dragon Pulse still unleashed.

It was struck by Houndoom's Dark Pulse and Weavile's Ice Shards.

Prosecutor Joey did not back down; he charged forward, brandishing his injured arm.

Miss Joey knew this day would come when she chose to become a prosecutor.

Miss Nurse Joy is also a skilled fighter; three or five Pokémon can't get close to her.

After exchanging a few blows with Miss Joey, the burly man punched her in the stomach.

Miss Joey retreated in a disheveled manner, her eyes still filled with fighting spirit.

The burly man revealed a cruel smile, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you have a painless journey."

Just then, Li Shuwen descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity.
