Rope and the others were about to step into the ambush circle right away.
Hoopa's complexion turned almost cold to the naked eye. The opponent's trap wasn't too dangerous but it was insulting...
Rope could fall into a pit without any mental fluctuations and then be threatened with a spear. But when had he, Hoopa, ever suffered such an indignity. Even if he was sealed...it was by Arceus, which was at least a platitude... after all, he, Hoopa, had to be handled by the God of Creation himself.
Now to be trapped by a bunch of humans in a botched trap... he really couldn't stand the aggravation...
"Rope, I'm going to do it..."
Hoopa couldn't help but say to Rope.
The corners of Rope's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't stop Hoopa.After all, for him, it would be better to change his plan rather than let Hoopa aggravate himself. Anyway, just like what he said before, no matter how he entered this village. It would be harmless to him.
So Rope simply nodded.
"Don't make a scene."
"You'll make a scene!"
Aohane had a look of hatred on his face. Though he knew that these people had been called in on their own, and that there was no problem with the way things were done. But put it in the current situation...it's just that something big will go wrong ah.
"Aohane, calm down. We're not going to do anything to them. Besides, if you say that human has such power...who would believe it..."
Kosuke looked helplessly at Aohane, who was a bit confused, and said.
It wasn't that he was telling lies. People are all like that, those who are beautiful or powerful will always feel unreal until they have seen it with their own eyes. Evil and sin, on the other hand, are often believed in, whether or not one has seen it with one's own eyes.
Rope's original world is like this, people who have done good things will often attract a lot of skepticism, no matter what kind of evidence you pull out there are people do not believe.
But as soon as you make a mistake...everyone will swarm around you, stomping on you, even spitting on you. Or even spit on you already.
The reversal will be followed by their cheap apologies. Or a shameful silence. But the damage, it was irreparable.
Jikan on the other side was thoughtful...from what he knew of Aohane, he wouldn't make such pointless jokes. More importantly...wouldn't it be nice to say a better one if you really want to lie?
This kind of story that sounded exaggerated at first glance didn't make sense at all.
"It's not like Aohane is stupid...why does he have to make such a big deal out of it..."
Jikan thought silently in his mind.
And just then, a scream rang out from the front of the forest.
The faces of the three people in front of them changed in a flash.Aohane had a helpless look on his face and looked at Kosuke with a hidden grudge in his eyes. Then he spoke, "Let's go down and ask for someone...save something from really happening..."
And with that, he took the lead and jumped down from the tree, heading in the direction where Rope and the others were.
Kosuke was also feeling a bit of a numb feeling, but whenever something went wrong...he was the one who had to pay the main responsibility. After all, everyone in the village knew not to just trust Jikan's advice. But it was Jikan's advice that got him into trouble this time...
Jikan won't necessarily be punished, but he, Kosuke, is sure to be taught a hard lesson.
Of course, it would be fine if he was just taught a lesson. As long as no one got killed...after all, these people were his neighbors or family friends...it was just so inconvenient to have a village of people working together, pulling someone out of the woodwork at the drop of a hat was an acquaintance of yours.
Aohane walks ahead of him, he's fast and does look a little anxious, but he has a good idea...he can show weakness to Rope and the others, but he can't look weak...
In front of the strong, the weak never really had the right to speak.
As he walked closer to Rope and the others... he was stunned by the sight before him.
Fifteen of the best hunters from the same village were now suspended in mid-air by their superpowers. Several of them were red in the face, even a little purple, and their eyes were starting to roll upwards, as if they were about to suffocate.
Aohane couldn't care less about advantages...
Rope smiled as he looked at Aohane, who was anxiously rushing over to this side. This guy had followed them all the way. This guy has followed them all the way, and his patience seems to be really good. He is indeed a qualified hunter, but compared to a truly strong person...this guy still lacks bargaining chips.
Rope moved his fingers, Hoopa understood, and the power of his psychic instantly reduced by half. The guys who were controlled began to breathe greedily.
Only those who had experienced suffocation could understand why air was said to be a gift...
The feeling of being able to breathe...is really great.
Aohane also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the crowd was fine. He of course noticed Rope who was looking at him with a smile on his lips.
"Greetings Your Excellency, I am a guard of the village, by order of our village chief, we want to avoid all outsiders from entering the forest by mistake. All this time thinking to bring you all out of the forest. I hope you can understand, it is our duty."
Aohane bent his head and said. His tone was gentle, like a courteous scholar.
Behind him, Jikan and Kosuke also rushed over. although Kosuke was careless, he wasn't stupid, seeing that Aohane had put his stance so low, he wouldn't put to provoke this person now...
Even if he really wanted to make a scene, he would be the one to show his weakness. After all, Aohane was the next village chief, and he couldn't lose his authority in front of the village people.
But now Aohane was being soft in front of another person in front of the strongest group of hunters in the village. This could only mean that this person was someone they really couldn't afford to mess with.
"I also ask Your Excellency to spare the guards under my hand. The order was given by me, and I am willing to take the blame."
Only Jikan did not bow his head as he looked at Whitley and Diana's faces, unable to hide the greedy desire in his eyes. It was his instinct. But he wasn't a fool. The guy in front of him was able to mess up Aohane so badly. Then it proved to be really capable.
"This was my idea..."
Before the words left his mouth he felt a huge force appear on his face. Then in addition to the intense pain, there was the weightlessness of flying out backwards.
"Boom!"
He mounted a tree and hung there for two seconds before slowly falling.
Aohane and Kosuke were silenced for a moment.
Rope's eyes went slightly cold, and white flames sprouted from the tips of his fingers. A white flame condensed into a bobo appeared.
The bobo lifted its wings and landed on Jikan's body. Jikan, who was originally in a daze from the beating, immediately let out a miserable scream the moment Bobo's claws landed on his body.
Hot! So hot! What is this thing!
But he couldn't make any sound other than a miserable scream.
And at that moment, Bobo was slowly pecking at the flesh on his body. There was no blood flowing out, only the scent of flame-roasted meat. Though it would soon turn into a sickening burnt smell.
Rope smiled lightly, "Hasn't anyone ever told you? You really do have a repulsive look in your eyes..."
With that he glanced at Kosuke and Aohane, who were off to the side with their mouths open but silent, and snorted.
"It looks like the others agree with me as well. What exactly did you do to deserve this? It doesn't even matter if you let the people around you watch you suffer. And it's amazing that they would even take care of these things with you since they hate you so much."
"You have a lot of power behind you? No, in that case you shouldn't be the last to speak. There's no part for you in playing red and white."
"Any particular role? Playing dirty? Nope, they hate you and those tactics probably."
"Eh, someone's face has changed. My guess would have been close."
"Someone in your family should be a very prestigious existence. That's why even though they hate you, or even loathe you, they still haven't ostracized you from participating in some of the work."
"They made no secret of their disgust for you... that person died? And his death had something to do with you? Otherwise there shouldn't be any tolerance at all, and for the sake of that person to take care of you as well."
Saying that, he also ignored the screaming Jikan over there, but looked at the leader Aohane and said with a smile, "Seeing the expression on your face, I should have guessed right."
Aohane had a shocked look on his face...this person...what the hell is he?
"...Yes, his brother is someone we respect a lot."
Aohane spoke in response.
The rest of the guards looked at Rope like he was some kind of monster...
"Would you guys have a problem if I took him out?"
Aohane's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
To say no...we all wanted to kill this guy in our hearts.
Say yes...it's too much. Everyone looking at him like this was already too much.
Without thinking for too long, Aohane soon made up his mind.
"And please, Your Excellency, spare his life, his life is not worth anything, but even if you kill, please follow the rules of our village."
Aohane said so as he gave Rope a rather ancient cupped fist salute.
Rope did not respond to him, but turned to look at Whitley and Diana on the side.Diana did not have any so-called, what caliber of beauty she is she has her own number.
There were quite a few men who looked at her like this every time she went out. There were even some seniors in the research world who wanted to talk to her...
It was good that she had joined Professor Carolina's research team. No one wants to offend Carolina, the protective old woman. More importantly, no one wanted to offend whichever Sinnoh champion was behind Professor Carolina.
Of course, right now Diana was the equivalent of Rope's employee. Such a person is naturally even more daring for no one to mess with. Who doesn't know that the current Rope can already be described with the words, 'power in the hands'.
And although Whitley was disgusted with this person. But to really kill him because of this kind of thing, Whitley still felt that it was a bit too much.
She was a kind girl in the end. And unlike Diana, Whitley's family owns an incubator and has a certain amount of power. When she was a little older, she followed N around in the Huddle to get things going, and even more so, no one dared to mess with her. Then she followed Dr. Sequoia and became an icon holder. And finally it was following Rope.
There wasn't the slightest problem with saying a word about the Chosen Daughter, the True Protagonist treatment.
"Spare his life."
After watching the two people react, Rope spoke. He was neither satisfied nor disappointed. This man's life or death meant nothing to him at all. He knew what would happen if these two girls met such a guy without himself by their side. But again, there was no judgment on a man who was sentenced because he wanted to commit a crime.
"Spare his life then."
The crowd was relieved. Everyone didn't want Rope to be too vicious a person. It had become clear to both Aohane and Kosuke's hearts. There was no way they could stop this man from entering the village.
Even if they fought to the death, it would just be useless in the end. So they could only let this person visit the village in the company of themselves and the others to accomplish their purpose. As long as their purpose wasn't to exterminate the village then it was fine.
So the kinder this person was the better. Although it seemed that this person was indeed a killjoy right now. But in the end it wasn't a kill-eater. That way it would still be negotiable.
"Waste one of his eyes."
Rope said gently.
In the midst of the crowd's surprise, Bobo landed lightly on Jikan's face. Immediately it was about to peck down amidst his struggles and screams.
"Houndoom! kill him! Kill him!"
Jikan frantically threw the Pokéball he was holding. Then one of the Houndoom bit straight towards Rope.
Aohane subconsciously asked Bisharp to stop Houndoom, but Kosuke pulled his hand.
Aohane reacted to the pull. He can't be in charge of this.
Rope didn't even bother to move.
The ball around him opened automatically. A divine wind speed dog appeared in place. Eyes blazing. He let out a low growl, then stomped his hind legs and raised his front paws. In an instant, Houndoom was pinned to the ground.
There were red-colored flames emerging from Wind Speed Dog's mouth, and he wasn't at all worried about this Houndoom's ability to draw fire.
There was also a limit to the amount of fire that could be drawn. It wasn't like in the game where a Pokémon with the ability to draw fire could resist the fire skills of a full level Pokémon at level one.
In reality there are thresholds. Can't withstand it is can't withstand it. It will burst itself.
After controlling Houndoom over here, the Flame Bobble over there easily pecked out one of Jikan's eyes.
Rope laughed softly amidst Jikan's screams, "It looks like the crazy dogs you've raised had better be properly disciplined."
After saying that, Rope just turned around and headed in their original direction. Like he didn't care about them people at all.
Hoopa said in the back of Rope's mind, "Doesn't that guy need to be taken out?"
Rope shook his head, again saying in his mind, "No. Diana is fine, she must know about these things. But Whitley doesn't, so it's better to teach them both a lesson."
Hoopa's mouth twitched slightly.
The lesson should be good indeed.
It was just supposed to be quite a waste of teaching aids.
But the good thing was that teaching aids weren't rare. Good guys were rare, but bad guys were everywhere.
