Everything was witnessed by Nemo.
As if influenced by Dragonite's power and Luo Mu's composure, Nemo's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but let out a short, sharp sigh.
So that's what a Trainer is?
The feeling of helplessness she experienced when she was kidnapped flashed through Nemo's mind, and she suddenly made a firm decision in her heart.
Luo Mu didn't notice the change in Nemo's state of mind. After confirming that the message sent to the Pingdie Town police station had been delivered, Luo Mu looked at the building that seemed to be a warehouse and murmured, "The suppression here is complete. Luxray and the others should be almost done too."
Luo Mu jumped off Dragonite and then carried Nemo down from Dragonite's back.
Nemo, with her chin resting on Luo Mu's shoulder, felt her ear tips flush slightly, thinking he was incredibly reliable.
Suddenly, Nemo, who was enjoying the sense of security Luo Mu provided, noticed a pair of sharp, terrifying shadowy purple claws extending from Luo Mu's shadow in the sunlight, slowly approaching his legs.
Nemo's pupils constricted, and her face showed panic.
Neither Luo Mu, whose attention was on the warehouse, nor Dragonite in the air noticed any of this.
Back to a little while ago.
The five Pokemon led by Luxray had clear divisions of labor, rushing straight to the warehouse after bursting out of their Poké Balls.
As it ran, Luxray's yellow eyes began to glow, until they turned almost a brilliant golden color.
Luxray's brilliant golden eyes were like torches, and its species-specific special ability, 'X-Ray Vision,' began to take effect. The obstructions made of iron and stone bricks could no longer block Luxray's sight.
Looking around, everything inside the dilapidated warehouse was clearly visible.
There were several Pokemon guarding the two windows on the east and west sides.
In the center of the warehouse were five people: three children lying on the ground looking somewhat weak, and two adult kidnappers.
Luxray narrowed its eyes and began to consider how to deploy its forces to ensure the children could be rescued without any mishaps.
Directly breaking in was definitely not an option; their size would surely lead to instant discovery.
Using intimidation to powerfully deter enemies, like Dragonite did, was undoubtedly the most effortless choice, but one careless mistake could harm the children, who were already especially fragile due to fear.
The only way was to differentiate the targets of the intimidation.
However, neither itself, Swampert, nor Ceruledge could achieve that level of precise control.
Given this, it seemed the only option was to ask Serperior if it was confident.
Luxray lowered its voice, letting out a few low Growls to convey its thoughts.
Soon, Serperior, who had already reached the edge of the warehouse, responded, "Galo!" (No problem!)
Luxray nodded slightly, instructing Ceruledge and Swampert to suppress the Pokemon by the west window, while it alone suppressed the Pokemon by the east window.
While their intrusion attracted the kidnappers' attention, Serperior would use intimidation to deter the kidnappers and then use Vine Whip to rescue the three children.
The moment the plan was formed, the four Pokemon quickly began to carry out their duties.
Luxray, clad in an electric battle suit, smashed through the wall and window with furious force, directly electrocuting the three guarding Golbat unconscious.
Swampert's muscular right arm was raised high, and Ceruledge leaped onto it, then was immediately thrown by Swampert towards the west window!
At the same time, the fiery greatswords on Ceruledge's arms ignited with vengeful flames. Bitter Blade shattered the three Raticate along with the wall, rendering them unconscious and unable to fight.
The three Pokemon were very precise in their attacks, not being fatal.
Serperior also, as the bearded man and the lanky man paused in shock, surged with intimidation towards the two, causing their bodies to instantly stiffen.
Serperior controlled it very well, not affecting the three children at all.
At the same time, emerald green vines sliced through the air, coiling around the three terrified children who were being dragged by ropes held by the two men, and pulling them towards itself.
Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Only Mimikyu stood blankly at the door, looking around in confusion, realizing it seemed to have been overlooked again.
Although this was common, Luxray and the others didn't intentionally ignore it; they were just unconsciously affected by Mimikyu's own faint presence.
However, Mimikyu still extended a pair of Shadow Claws from under its disguise, capable of tearing through steel, and emo-ed for a while, claw to claw, intending to go find Luo Mu, who was the only one who wouldn't ignore it, and Charm him.
Anyway, Luxray and the others had already resolved the matter.
Mimikyu vanished into the shadows of the wild grass, following the connections between shadows into Luo Mu's shadow, who had just jumped off Dragonite.
A few breaths later, Mimikyu, appearing in Luo Mu's shadow, extended a Shadow Claw from within the shadow, wanting to tug on Luo Mu's capri pants to get his attention.
Then, Mimikyu saw the panicked expression of the girl on Luo Mu's shoulder. Tilting its head, Mimikyu hesitated before speaking.
"Mimikyu?"
"Huh, Mimikyu, why are you here?"
Luo Mu reacted quickly. The moment he heard Mimikyu's questioning Growl, he knew this child had once again vanished into his shadow.
Nemo's panicked expression froze, then quickly shifted to confusion and blankness.
Was this Pokemon, called Mimikyu by the big brother, his partner?
So, she had panicked for nothing...
It was a good thing the big brother didn't notice her change in expression, otherwise she would have embarrassed herself in front of someone she admired.
Yes, in such a short time, Luo Mu had become an object of admiration in Nemo's heart, on the same level as her father, mother, and sister.
Mimikyu carefully retracted the sharpness of its Shadow Claw and climbed onto Luo Mu's left shoulder. The entire Pokemon seemed to melt, almost collapsing into a heap from happiness, greedily absorbing 'Trainer energy' from Luo Mu to mend its somewhat wounded heart.
Suddenly, Mimikyu noticed Nemo, who had already gotten out of Luo Mu's embrace and was holding his right arm, secretly watching it with her gaze.
For some reason, a subtle emotion it couldn't understand surfaced in Mimikyu's heart.
Before it could ponder the meaning of this emotion, Mimikyu noticed a blind spot.
Dragonite sister only noticed it because of Luo Mu's voice.
But this girl seemed to have noticed it from the very beginning...?
Not long after Luo Mu had suppressed the three bearded men, those social scum who only dared to kidnap children in the dark, the belated sound of police sirens echoed in the distance.
At the same time, a very expensive-looking luxury car followed behind the police cars.
Luo Mu glanced at Nemo, who was comforting the other three frightened children, a slight upward curve on his lips. He then looked at the three kidnappers, who were tied up with Crazy Plant by Serperior, looking as if they had committed a grave sin.
Serperior had also thoughtfully sealed their mouths to prevent any foul language from dirtying Luo Mu's and the children's ears.
Luo Mu laughed, "Congratulations to you three bosses on your new pair of silver handcuffs!"
