"Zangoose, Taunt!" Seeing that Drampa had already given up its position, Old Cat directed Zangoose to attract Drampa's attention, making space for Section Chief Hu.
Drampa was hit by Taunt. It was already angry from being blown away in its sleep and suddenly felt extremely annoyed by this white Zangoose. It unleashed a 'Dragon Breath' at Zangoose.
Shiftry wouldn't just stand by and watch. It retaliated with Razor Leaf. The two moves collided and canceled each other out, creating a loud sound.
Seeing this, Section Chief Hu had already run towards the warehouse door.
The Bai Family's warehouse door had a password lock that changed every three days, but according to Vine's intelligence, the password was basically the Bai Family Chieftain's own birthday, or the birthdays of his children or granddaughter.
Section Chief Hu tried a few times and found that it really was the Bai Family Chieftain's granddaughter's birthday.
But when the door opened, he was dumbfounded. It wasn't that "Vine"'s intelligence was wrong and there was nothing inside; it was that there was simply too much stuff inside.
Inside the several hundred square meter warehouse, there were hundreds of three to four-meter-high shelves. Not to mention on the shelves, there were many items even on the ground.
An ite, which would cost hundreds of thousands outside, was just thrown on the ground like a small pebble by the roadside.
Dragon fangs and dragon scales, which were sold in limited quantities outside, were piled up here like a small mountain.
If Chen Kai were here now, he would notice that honey apple, Sweet Apple, and Tart Apple were counted by the crate here.
Even if they contained Dragon-type energy and Grass-type energy, some at the bottom of the crates might have already rotted.
It truly was a case of "the rich have rotten meat and wine while the poor starve on the streets"!
However, Section Chief Hu at this moment just wanted to curse: "Damn you, Vine, how am I supposed to find a tiny glass bead in all this?!"
He began to rummage through everything.
At this moment, outside the warehouse door, Drampa intentionally collided a Dragon Pulse with Shiftry's Seed Bomb, causing an explosion that sent dust flying everywhere on the ground.
Zangoose charged forward, preparing to use 'Close Combat' against Drampa, but was blasted away by Drampa's 'Hyper Voice'.
A Gou complained, "Damn it, it's so loud, the Bai Family people will be here any minute. Is that old man done yet?"
"Shit, is this Drampa that strong? Damn it, it's almost Elite-level!" Old Cat's Zangoose was blasted away as soon as it got close to Drampa, and he was already cursing.
Meanwhile, on the distant training ground, the university group's competition was nearing its end. A Bai Family competitor, who was said to be a university student but was actually almost thirty, had his Dragonite condense ice on both hands and fiercely attack the Dragon Family competitor's Goodra.
The Bai Family Chieftain smiled at the Dragon Family Chieftain and said, "It seems our Bai Family's young people will win again this year!"
The Dragon Family Chieftain snorted coldly, "Hmph, but the high school youth competition is not so certain."
The Bai Family Chieftain laughed heartily, "Hahahahaha, I just heard that your Dragon Family's second-year high schoolers who made it into the top four were eliminated.
It seems your Dragon Family's young people were all playing during the summer break."
The Dragon Family Chieftain was so angered by these words that he clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force, just as he was about to retort.
"Roar..." A dragon roar came from afar; it was Drampa's Hyper Voice from the backyard reaching them.
"Huh! It sounds like a dragon roar." The Dragon Family Chieftain said with some confusion.
The Bai Family Chieftain waved his hand, dismissively, "It's nothing. Your Dragon Family can't live in the Southern Capital Secret Realm, so you're not used to it. In our Kyoto Secret Realm, there are many dragons inside. We're used to hearing two Dragon-type Pokemon fighting.
As a Dragon-controlling family, you should be used to dragon roars. If you make a fuss just because a dragon roars casually, that won't do!
Be calm, my friend."
At this moment, a young man from the Dragon Family said, "But that roar seems to be coming from your backyard, and there seems to be smoke over there."
"Ah!!!"
The Bai Family Chieftain jumped up from his stool in shock.
"Which little scoundrel came to cause trouble in my Bai Family?"
At this moment, a Bai Family member came forward and said, "Chieftain, that seems to be the roar of Drampa, who guards the warehouse."
"Ah?! Our warehouse?! Then why aren't you going quickly?!" The Bai Family Chieftain, anxious, kicked the Bai Family member and yelled at the people below the stage:
"What are you still watching the competition for! There's a thief in the house, go quickly!"
The Bai Family crowd, hearing this, rushed chaotically towards the backyard.
The Dragon Family Chieftain smiled at the people around him and the Gym Leaders, saying, "Hahahahaha, this Bai Family isn't all that either; they can even attract thieves to their home! In the Southern Capital, who would dare to cause trouble for my Dragon Family!"
The Electric-type Gym Leader, as if not wanting to make things worse, suggested, "How about we go watch the fun too?"
The Fire-type Gym Leader smiled and said, "Alright, we'll go see if we can help with anything."
Ye Gai and the Water-type Gym Leader also nodded, saying they were going to help, but in reality, they were just going to watch the fun so they would have something to chat about at the next Kyoto Gym Leaders' meeting.
And moving faster than a Dragon Family bodyguard and everyone else present, he had been watching the backyard. When he saw some dust flying in the backyard, he asked his captain for leave, saying he had a stomachache and needed to go to the restroom.
He was Mu Li, the other spy who had communicated with Vine. He had infiltrated the Bai Family among the Dragon Family's bodyguards. If Vine's plan failed, he would be the backup.
The organization required them to obtain the orbs inside the Bai Family this time. Each of these orbs contained different Pokemon attribute energy. The Bai Family's orbs all contained Dragon-type energy, which was very rare and useful for their research.
Old Cat and A Gou had been fighting Drampa for several minutes, and the two brothers felt increasingly uneasy.
Why hadn't that old man come out yet? The commotion was so loud, the Bai Family people could arrive at any moment!
Old Cat's eyes darted around, and he said to A Gou, "A Gou, you stall a bit longer. I'll go see if that old man is done."
A Gou directed Shiftry to clash with Drampa, not thinking much of it.
"Okay, you go help search, I'll stall. Remember to call me when you're done."
"Mm! I'll definitely call you." Old Cat rushed towards the warehouse without looking back.
He thought to himself, if the old man was unreliable, he would sell out the old man and A Gou, and run back into the crowd of students, trying to blend in and escape.
Arriving at the warehouse entrance, Old Cat was also dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, there's so much stuff in here?"
Section Chief Hu, seeing Old Cat arrive, asked while rummaging through things, "Where's A Gou? How are things outside?"
Old Cat said, "He's stalling. I came to check because you've been quiet for so long."
Section Chief Hu instructed, "Then hurry up and help. You go to that first row of shelves and look for a glass bead that contains Dragon-type energy!"
"Where's the instrument to exit the Secret Realm?" Old Cat asked.
Section Chief Hu patted his pocket, "Found it, it's right here with me. As long as we find that bead, we can leave anytime."
"Alright!" Old Cat and Zangoose also joined the search party.
And in a corner they hadn't noticed, an evolution light shone.
An Applin evolved into a Dipplin.
