Lin had just arrived here after dealing with the bandits from the Southern Kingdom.
Poomimpon immediately recognized that he couldn't afford to offend this old man with a black dragon tattooed on his body.
He also guessed that the transparent Dark-type protective barrier covering the entire Research Institute was definitely created by this old man's Pokemon.
He clenched his fists, but his words remained sharp: "Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, kid. We'll meet again. Don't let me catch you next time!"
He quickly recalled his five Pokemon, preparing to rush towards his Alakazam.
Although Alakazam was severely injured, it wasn't unconscious.
"Grimmsnarl, Taunt!" Lin naturally wouldn't just stand by.
Although Poomimpon was a bit disheveled, he remained unperturbed. He was known as a Psychic Master, so he naturally possessed special abilities.
His ability allowed him to enhance the mental power and control precision of Psychic-type Pokemon through physical contact, and breaking through seals was not an issue for him.
Even common 'Taunt' or 'Block' moves could be broken with some effort from him.
This was also why he dared to enter this Research Institute, even with its Dark-type energy barrier.
He always liked to maintain an arrogant attitude, partly because while he might not excel at other things, he was truly first-rate at escaping.
At this moment, Chen Kai and Gym Leader Li also wanted to stop Poomimpon.
However, to everyone's surprise, Treecko, who had been hiding on the second floor, suddenly jumped down, catching everyone off guard. Even faster than Grimmsnarl, it used Quick Attack and Leafage, precisely hitting Alakazam's forehead.
Alakazam, a Pokemon with naturally low physical defense, was already severely injured and restrained. After taking two more physical hits, and being struck in a vital spot, it immediately fainted.
Treecko used the momentum to jump away, rolling to Chen Kai's side.
Only Poomimpon was left stunned in place.
Chen Kai asked worriedly, "Treecko, why did you suddenly act on your own?"
Treecko looked up, staring at Chen Kai, and said: "Chamot." (I thought you would give such a command at this moment.)
"Uh..." While the words were true, Chen Kai was momentarily at a loss on how to educate Treecko.
Meanwhile, the Taunt unleashed by Grimmsnarl, having lost its target, instead hit Poomimpon, who was closest to Alakazam.
"Ah!!! You M.D..." Poomimpon immediately shifted from bewildered to enraged. He threw out all his Pokemon, ready to fight everyone to the death.
The outcome was naturally self-evident: Kingambit defeated one opponent after another with a single strike, Incineroar knocked out Psychic-type Pokemon with one slap, and Grimmsnarl was a step too slow, not even getting a chance to attack.
Soon after, Poomimpon was tied up, but the Taunt effect was still active, and he continued to struggle and curse.
Zhao Jie finally couldn't stand it anymore and used a rag to gag him.
"Are you alright, Xiao Kai?" Zhao Jie asked with concern, as the entire director's office had exploded.
"It's nothing." Chen Kai felt that despite the explosion and falling from the second floor, he seemed to be fine.
He couldn't help but exclaim, "Am I really going to become a 'Super Pallet Towner'?"
Zhao Jie saw that Chen Kai's clothes were only slightly torn, and he seemed to have no external injuries, but she still advised Chen Kai to go to the hospital for a check-up, just in case there were internal injuries.
Chen Kai initially didn't want to go, but Zhao Jie then mentioned that she could help him get a sick leave note.
Chen Kai decided it was better to go to the hospital, hoping to rest for a few more days, until the National Day and Mid-Autumn holidays ended.
The doctor did not disappoint him. Hearing that Chen Kai was involved in a robbery by Southern Kingdom bandits, although no problems were found, the doctor still advised Chen Kai to stay in the hospital for observation overnight and issued a 'recommendation for ten days of quiet rest' sick note.
With the National Day holiday, Chen Kai now had over 20 days of free time. He even thought about visiting the desert and Gobi.
Unfortunately, he had already promised Huang Mao to go to Zigong for a trip.
Chen Kai scratched his head awkwardly.
Miraidon saw through Chen Kai's thoughts: "No need to rush. There are so many Gobi deserts on Blue Star; it's not that easy to encounter them.
Let's go to Zigong first."
Chen Kai thought about it and realized it was true, so he relaxed.
However, what he didn't expect was to encounter Yelena at the hospital.
Although she didn't seem to have any injuries, all the security guards had seen Yelena fighting the bandits, so they insisted that this young girl also go to the hospital for a check-up.
"Well! You really can run!" Yelena said aggressively as soon as she saw him.
"Big sister, who are you? Am I very familiar with you?" Chen Kai didn't even want to bother with this person.
Yelena continued relentlessly: "If you're not going to be quick about it, just tell me the entrance directly, you can name your price!"
"What are you saying? I don't understand."
Chen Kai quickly ran back to his private room.
Money is vulgar, just like the mega evolution stone now. You can't buy it with money. Only a fool would choose money.
Yelena looked at the closed ward door, frustrated, but she still shouted loudly:
"For some immediate small gains, you disregard the safety of the world. Do you know what consequences the invasion of Pokemon from other worlds will cause?"
A silence was her only reply.
Yelena stamped her foot and could only leave helplessly.
She returned to her hospital bed, touching the stone that had lost its black color and become ordinary, and muttered to herself:
"Mom, I will definitely complete Teacher's mission!"
On the other side, Chen Kai, with his legs crossed, said nonchalantly, "I'm really annoyed to death by this big sister. Iron Leaves, Iron Boulder will invade Blue Star?
I think those two are too lazy to even leave their homes, especially that Iron Boulder, it's too lazy to even bother with people.
Miraidon, will you invade Blue Star? Iron Bundle, would you want to invade Blue Star? That's hilarious."
"I wouldn't, no." Miraidon replied listlessly.
Staying in the hospital was very boring for it.
And Iron Bundle's answer stunned Chen Kai: "If needed, I can."
Chen Kai sat up in surprise: "Huh? What do you want?"
Iron Bundle said calmly, "Nothing. But if the superior gives a command, we just have to faithfully execute it."
Miraidon chimed in, explaining to Chen Kai: "They are indeed like that, loyally executing orders.
And Iron Leaves also said that humans in our world do like to do things like invasion.
But I don't get along with them very well."
Chen Kai exclaimed, "Oh! You scared me. I thought Iron Leaves had a plan to invade Blue Star."
Miraidon thought for a moment and said, "I guess Iron Leaves also doesn't get along with that group of people. That's why it ran alone to Area Zero, this small world."
"Hmm!" Iron Bundle affirmed: "Tieban Ye Daren has never liked humans. Chen Kai, you were mainly brought by Miraidon Daren, otherwise you wouldn't be able to step into the Astronomical Observatory."
"Ah! Is that how it is?" Chen Kai asked again in surprise.
Miraidon also showed a surprised expression, then it smiled and said to Xiao Kai:
"See, it's all thanks to me. Now hurry up and offer delicious foods like sandwiches and bread to Miraidon Daren!"
Chen Kai waved his hand dismissively: "Get lost!"
