"What if he enters the village?"
Aohane was really stumped by this question... If you don't let him enter, with the strength he's showing now, how can you stop him?
But if you just let them enter the village, what's the difference between that and putting your village on top of a nuclear bomb silo?
Of course, this world did not develop out of the mushroom bomb related technology. After all, it's not very useful. Whether it was destruction or energy, it could always be done if the Pokémon were strong enough and numerous enough.
So Aohane didn't answer Bisharp's question right away either. It was something well worth weighing. But it wasn't whether to let Rope enter the village or not, but what kind of attitude to treat Rope with after entering the village. After all, the matter of letting Rope enter the village was not something that they you could influence at all. Although he didn't know who Rope was, he knew that not many Pokémon of this level had soft ears, let alone a human powerhouse.
So he didn't have any hope that he would be able to convince Rope to leave.
While Aohane was considering this matter, Jikan was rushing this way with a dozen youths.
A youth who was following Jikan and looked a bit more mature than the others opened his mouth and asked, "Jikan, what's the strength of the other party, and can't Aohane just take them down? There's still a need for us to come and help."
The tone of his voice didn't have any overtime dissatisfaction, but more of a curiosity about that opponent.
If you know your opponent, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles.
Facing their opponents, it was still necessary for them to know a little bit.
"I'm not really sure, but I guess the opponent shouldn't be very strong. After all, it's just youths and women, and a tiny unrecognizable looking Pokémon."
Jikan pondered for a moment then said.
He didn't really get along with most of the people in this village. But he didn't dare to just pit people against each other when faced with this situation. Although he wasn't a good person, he was really, really desperate for his life.
These people's lives could be compared to his? It would be too unprofitable to let himself pay for their lives.
So Jikan had no intention of fooling anyone. All he said was his truest judgment...
Including the small Pokémon Hoopa that didn't seem very strong. After all, in the world of Pokémon size doesn't mean everything, but it does mean a lot of things.
Let's say a Weavile and a Rhyperior are standing together. You would subconsciously think that Rhyperior is much stronger than Weavile.
It's a size difference. It's also one of the most obvious gaps. When people are confronted with creatures that they don't know, looks and size often become the basis of judgment that plays a major role.
The punishment form of Hoopa was small and quite cute. That's why most people don't think it's a powerful Pokémon when they first see a punishment Hoopa.
Jikan fell into a similar misconception.
"Like this?" The mature-looking youth nodded thoughtfully. He was fairly comfortable with Jikan's ability to do things. Only while nodding. The eyes he looked at Jikan with also became even colder.
He was different from the others. He didn't think Jikan was as simple a person as he seemed. Even if Jikan was acting so sinister. He didn't even think it was an existence without a city.
Quite the contrary. If Jikan, who had killed his own brother, had acted like a compassionate person every day, then only this guy would have been killed off long ago.
But this guy just used to be in a state where he didn't seem to have much ability to hide it but he himself was really obnoxious and thought about how to shade people all the time.
After all, if you could see that a person wanted to do something bad to you, and if that person didn't have any ability to do anything bad to you, you would raise your guard, but then you would underestimate this person.
And on the premise that this person has been doing nothing, everyone will gradually lose their vigilance against him. Underestimate him. Despise him. Even think they can take him out anytime they want.
That is, Jikan's current state.
The youth who saw this was always on maximum alert for Jikan.
"Almost there." Jikan suddenly slowed down his speed and spoke, "Let everyone slow down a bit. The other party's advance speed isn't too fast. If I'm not wrong in my prediction, the other party should be heading in this direction."
"Let's prepare some traps here if we follow their speed."
Jikan didn't give a direct order, but looked at the youth.
"Kosuke, what do you think?"
Jikan smiled and looked at the leading youth.
And the leading youth, that is, Kosuke nodded after pondering for a moment, then turned his head and made a few hand signals to his people.
[Stop! [Prepare the trap! [Wait!
After making the gestures, low shouts came from behind him.
Then the men started working on the trap making.
And Jikan thought of going to work with them. But just as he raised his foot, Kosuke pulled him by the back of his collar.
With a look of dissatisfaction and disgust on his face, Jikan turned his head and said in a flat tone, "What's the matter, Kosuke, is there anything else?"
Kosuke looked at the sickening face, a face that clearly resembled that person's, but it seemed like it was one in the sky and the other at the bottom. Jitetsu's face gave people a sense of trust and recognition at first glance. But Jikan's face, obviously, was only that little bit different. But it gave people a nasty feeling full of evil.
Every time they saw this face, any villagers who had seen Jitetsu could not help but lament, "I really don't know how in the world this pair of brothers' parents gave birth to them...giving all the good things to the older brother and giving so the bad things to the younger brother."
"Take me to Aohane. I'll find out more from him."
Kosuke said coldly.
Jikan nodded at that and said, "Okay, then we'll go over there and take a look."
He did not refuse. Because there was no room for refusal at all. He knew that this person in front of him had more than just a distaste for him. He would definitely kill himself if he really had the chance.
And wouldn't care about the punishment from the village chief or the clan elders. Because he felt it was worth it.
Of course, as Jikan led the way ahead, he subconsciously touched the number of pills he had in his jacket pocket, an evil smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
'Maybe I should teach him a lesson now. Leave him here forever and plant it on those outsiders.'
Of course, Jikan was just thinking about it. He shook his head, now was not the time to turn the tables on those losers in the village. This village could still draw the attention of many people with good intentions. When the old guy died, he would be able to sell the village for a good price himself.
The guys in the village were a bunch of idiots...they didn't even know the true value of this village. Since this village was able to attract that woman's attention, it means that there must be something in this village that makes that woman care...
That is to say, something of real value and significance. Jikan guessed that the odds were that it had something to do with the altar in that cave.
Even though he couldn't enter it, his brother had mentioned something like that to him back in the day.
That idiot would always just know how to flaunt these things in front of him!
The corners of Jikan's mouth still curved menacingly at the thought.
He thought he could be so calm...
They took a circuitous route, bypassing Rope's advance and going around the back to get to Aohane. that way they would not be caught off guard by Rope and the others.
"Rope and the others are getting outnumbered. It seems like they're still digging traps in front of them..."
Hoopa said with a somewhat grave expression on his face.
He wasn't worried if these people would hurt them. After all, he didn't sense anything too powerful. If the opponents were at this level, then he could kill them all with the move of a finger.
What he was worried about was Rope getting irritated again like before...
He was sure he could save Whitley and Diana in front of these people. But in front of Rope... he didn't even dare to think if he could save himself...
After seeing that punch just now, Hoopa felt that even if there was still a gap between Rope and that dead alpaca Arceus, he wouldn't be far behind in terms of hard power...
Well, as long as Hoopa couldn't beat it, then he felt that his opponent's strength was about the same.
Rope himself had the numbers. It shouldn't be too much of a problem to take out a doppelganger. But hitting the main body...he wasn't sure. Not to mention that right now, it looked like Arceus had a human-like form.
Of course, Rope didn't think it was from the game...the image of Arceus given in the game was still the normal alpaca image. So that would mean that something is wrong with the lore of the Washtree region of this world...
As for what exactly is the legend of the Wash Cui region...how does Rope know...the Arceus legend of the Wash Cui region of this world is obviously besides a big problem. And Rope hadn't even played the game Pokémon Legend-Arceus before crossing over in the original world...
Let alone Arceus, he didn't even get to play the Crystal remake before crossing over.
While everyone was saying that Sword & Shield didn't do well, they saw Crystal remastered... so Sword & Shield was really good... and I wonder what kind of performance Crystal remastered would have been in the original world by the end of the day! ...
Hopefully it won't be a disappointment...after all, if the flow rate of the two worlds if basically about the same, then Crystal revival should be just a month or two away from being released.
Rope shook his head, "Don't worry about it, we're all going to the other side's village anyway. No matter what the other party's attitude is in the end, as long as the other party doesn't have the intention to make a move against us. Then we'll just go along with the other party for now."
Rope didn't have the idea of starting a conflict with others, it wasn't in his interest...there was no need to make a scene at all.It wasn't like Rope was a bad person.
Whitley and Diana behind him also nodded. They were girls who were naturally a bit more soft-hearted, and they knew Rope's strength when they knew it. If Rope really wanted to do something big, then I was afraid that none of these villagers would survive.
More importantly, Whitley knew very well...if these villagers really did something excessive...Rope would not show mercy. He wasn't a bad guy. But Rope was even less of a saint.
So Whitley could only pray that the other party would be more sensible.
Of course, if Rope really wanted to do something, Whitley would definitely not stop him...if he made Rope angry to that extent...I'm afraid that these villagers were really overdoing it.
The last time Rope intended to exterminate the whole family or in the wild plains when the different people invaded...of course in the end did not exterminate into. That old man was just too well prepared. His son was not only not involved in the business at all. Even in the end, it was his son who took the initiative to report his dad.
Rope shouldn't have bothered about these things with that guy.
So Rope did let that young man off the hook in the end...he still recognized this kind of father-son relationship. Even if this father was no matter how evil he was. When facing his son, the man would always show his good side...
Rope had also met the old man who had made a mess of his wild wilderness area. The old guy had been sentenced to death at the time, and Rope went to meet him once. Figured if this conversation wasn't comfortable he'd just send the old guy on his way early.
Rope really hated the guy.
Of course, in the end, he didn't get to send the guy on his way early. The old guy confessed to everything and took all the blame on himself. Even got down on his knees to himself, the youngster...just begging him to spare his son...
The whole thing makes Rope seem like some kind of villain...
Rumor has it that the old man died with a smile on his face...cheap...
Of course, that young man's life wasn't very good right now, he wasn't as ruthless as his dad, and he didn't have much of a business mind. Good thing there is a reliable housekeeper. Otherwise it would have been long gone.
I just don't know how long that butler can hold out in the face of power within reach.
"Rope, don't wander off, when are you going to do it?"
Hoopa asked as he tapped Rope's shoulder and opened his mouth.
If they walked forward a few hundred meters, they would be at the opponent's ambush circle...
The corner of Rope's mouth curled up in an expectant arc.
"I kinda like to see the other side's methods."
————————————————
"Why are you so far apart?" Kosuke asked as he opened his mouth.Aohane had no problem hanging on to the outsider's back, but this was too far...
"You're here...are our people here too?"
Aohane asked, opening his mouth.
"Coming. I even had them set up traps up ahead. I was startled by that noise on the way... has some new Pokémon overlord appeared?"
Kosuke opened his mouth intending to make small talk.
But Aohane had no intention of making small talk with him.
"Have our people remove the traps!"
Aohane's face instantly changed after hearing Jikan and Kosuke's words. Then he hurriedly spoke.
"Why?" Kosuke frowned and opened his mouth to ask.
"The other party is strong, very strong! Just now, what you heard was not any powerful Pokémon fighting at all...it was that youth who walked in front who destroyed in order to that mountain!"
Aohane spoke with some awe. There was a hint of awe in his eyes.
