Li Guanjun was stroking his chin, weighing the pros and cons, as the current international situation was chaotic, and he didn't want to waste too much time on these bandits.
He turned to Xing Ken beside him and asked, "Can you find any information about the Pokémon on the Sakura Country's ocean freighter they hijacked?"
Xing Ken shook his head and said, "According to the information feedback from the spy agents, there is no clue yet."
Zhang Lei Yuan, however, spoke up, "I do know that the Pokémon on the Sakura Country's ocean freighter are mainly Steel-type, including Pokémon unique to the Sakura Country, such as the Pawniard family, the Ferroseed family, and the Duraludon family, which can currently rival Generals. Am I right, Mr. Li?"
Liziji was shocked to hear this, wondering how this person, not holding a high position in the Hua Country Alliance, could obtain more accurate information than the Hua Country Alliance.
At this moment, Liziji was in an extremely passive and dangerous situation, which could be described as "man is the butcher, I am the fish."
For Li Guanjun, who controlled the situation, whether to quickly arrest him and punish his crimes through a strict trial, or to temporarily spare his life and use it as a bargaining chip to obtain important resources, both seemed feasible and strategically valuable options.
And Liziji himself could only wait for fate's final judgment, like an animal roasted over a fire, utterly powerless to resist.
Liziji sighed helplessly and said, "So what you want is that Sakura Country freighter?"
Li Guanjun felt that the value of the Pokémon in this Sakura Country freighter was much greater than directly eliminating these Water Blade Gang executives.
"You could say yes, and you could say no. Your two lives are very precious. Before receiving the resources on the freighter, you need to pay a living fee for a period of time. So, hand over that Hydreigon, your ite, and Houndoom's mega evolution stone first."
Liziji gritted his teeth, full of unwillingness, but powerless. He took out Houndoom's Poké Ball and released Houndoom.
At this moment, Houndoom was lying on the ground, barely alive. Liziji walked closer, took off the Houndoom mega evolution stone from its neck, and threw it along with the ite in his hand towards Li Guanjun.
Li Guanjun reached out and caught the two round crystals, which sparkled with light and had colorful spirals wrapped inside.
"Very good, this is a good start to our cooperation. To prevent you from making any unnecessary struggles, Mega Charizard."
Roar—
Although Li Guanjun's command did not convey precise information, Charizard already understood. It flapped its wings and flew rapidly towards Liziji, with crackling electric currents flashing in its hands.
Upon seeing this, Liziji didn't have time to think and rolled back to the side. However, Mega Charizard's target was never the Trainer, but rather the dying Houndoom lying on the ground.
A fierce Thunder Punch struck Houndoom's ribs, smashing it into the ground. Houndoom's frail body could no longer withstand such a violent attack, and the punch shattered its heart and internal organs.
Some friends might ask, why not use a Fire-type move, which it excels at? Don't forget that after Houndoom's Mega Evolution was undone, it returned to its Pyromaniac Ability, so Li Guanjun's choice of attack was very correct.
Liziji rolled to the side and looked back at this scene, which made his eyes split with rage. Houndoom was his most loyal Pokémon and his strongest main force. With its death, even if Liziji safely left Hua Country, his future travels in the international arena would be fraught with danger.
Liziji's head throbbed with pain, and he likewise pulled out a firearm from his waist, the dark muzzle once again pointing at Li Guanjun.
Li Guanjun's calm gaze met Liziji's eyes, which were spewing with anger. He said, "That move of yours is very dangerous. Do you want all our previous transactions to come to naught?"
And Haunter, who had been hiding in Xing Ken's shadow, also emerged at this moment, its claws like sharp blades, placed between Li Gusi's neck. As long as Liziji made any unfavorable move, his son would also perish.
Bang bang~ The sound of continuous gunfire immediately exploded in this space.
Whoosh whoosh~ Two bullets tore through the air, but the bullets were not aimed at Li Guanjun, but at Zhang Heng.
However, the person who fired was not Liziji, but the silent person who had been standing beside him. Everyone present had high-quality Pokémon for protection, so firing a gun was useless. Only Zhang Heng, this novice Trainer, did not have a Pokémon for self-defense.
Buzz~ A buzzing sound exploded in this space. A violent electric-type energy suddenly surged from Zhang Lei Yuan, forming a barrier in front of everyone, blocking the invasion of the two bullets.
The person's movements were also very fast. He threw two smoke bombs on the ground, and immediately thick smoke enveloped the back of the dense forest. He turned and ran desperately into the dense forest. He also had a Sharpedo with the Speed Boost ability on him. As long as he ran to the lakeside and got help from Sharpedo, he should be able to escape.
"You're asking for death! Lunatone, Confusion."
"Chandelure, Will-O-Wisp."
At this moment, Lunatone, who had been lurking deep in the dense forest, concealing its aura, had light blue glow in its eyes, and dense Psychic-type energy firmly locked onto and lifted the person into the air.
Chandelure's Will-O-Wisp also followed, as if striking the soul directly, burning away its soul energy. The internationally notorious Poison-type Trainer thus fell.
Luo Hong directly ignored Liziji, who was still holding the gun, and slowly walked to the person's side, saying, "You got off easy, dying so painlessly."
While speaking, he confiscated the z-ring with the Water z-crystal embedded in it from the person's hand, as well as the s-level ground gem on his body. He then handed the Water Z to Zhang Heng and the z-ring to Qi Shu.
Zhang Heng and Qi Shu, like children receiving gifts, said in unison, "Thank you, Uncle Luo."
Li Guanjun watched this scene and did not stop it. After all, Zhang Heng had treated the Swamp Monster Clan in the Wilderness Area and several severely injured forest rangers, so it was understandable for him to receive some rewards. Moreover, these were spoils of war, not gifts from the Alliance.
Liziji kept holding the firearm and did not put it down. Li Guanjun also didn't waste words, walking towards him step by step. The aura of a superior pressed down on this international thief, making him breathless.
Even facing the dark muzzle of the gun, he was fearless. When he was still one meter away from Liziji, his right foot, wearing a leather shoe, kicked upwards, instantly sending the firearm flying into the air.
Then he took out a satellite phone and threw it in front of him, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, quickly call your family to pay the ransom..."
