Hoodlum and Amy stayed in Sunshine Town's Pokémon Dormitory for the night. The next day, they checked out and continued their journey. Their next destination was Stone Town, which was famous for producing Evolution Stones.
Although the afternoon sun was not very hot, it was a test for people who traveled long distances. At least, Hoodlum and Xiaomi were too tired to walk. They had left Sunshine Town for four days and were now walking in a forest. In these four days, they had not met a single traveler except for plants and Pokémon.
"Take a rest!" Hoodlum suggested. They were not in a hurry and did not need to rush.
Mi nodded and sat under a tree with Hoodlum to rest. They each took out their own water and drank it.
Hoodlum looked up after drinking the water. The glaring sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, making it hard for him to look straight. It would be very tiring to travel under such strong sunlight. It was better to wait until the hottest period was over before leaving.
Just as Fei, Xiaomi, and Cher were resting, a small hill in the forest emitted a little light. Zooming in, one could see a young girl on the hill, searching the forest with binoculars.
"Where is it? They clearly told me that they were already here.”The girl with the binoculars muttered. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a blue short-sleeved T-shirt. She also wore a wreath on her head that she wanted to use as a cover, but the wreath was more useful.
"Wow, I found it!" The girl smiled happily when she saw the two people resting under the tree. She wore a watch on her slender wrist. There was a small red R on the watch, which revealed the girl's identity. She was Ling Ling, who was sent by Ban Mu to carry out a mission.
"Little Ji! Get ready to move!" Ling Ling put away her binoculars and said to the Pokémon in a serious tone.
"Lucky!" A Gilly Egg stood behind Ling Ling and saluted her seriously. It was the magical baby that Ling Ling called Little Ji.
Hoodlum didn't know that he was being targeted. Although he had fought against the Rockets a few times, he hadn't exposed himself too much. He didn't think that he would be targeted by the Rockets, but he didn't expect the Rockets to pay special attention to him for other purposes.
The warm weather and the fatigue of the journey made Hoodlum and Amy sleepy. They sat under a tree and took a nap. Shirley lay on Hoodlum and quickly fell asleep.
It was afternoon. Ling Ling hid behind a tree and looked into the distance. Gilly Egg stood beside her and looked into the distance.
"Why isn't he here yet?" Lingling was confused. She had come up with a perfect idea to get close to Hoodlum, which was to dig a trap. If Hoodlum and Amy fell into the trap, she could pretend to be a stranger and approach Hoodlum to save him. Then, they could easily become good friends!
Lingling was pleased with herself for coming up with such a good idea. She set up a trap on Hoodlum's path and waited quietly behind a tree. However, after waiting for almost an afternoon, her target still hadn't appeared. She was getting impatient.
Ling Ling couldn't help but crawl out from behind the tree and come to the road to watch. Xiao Ji followed closely behind her.
The road was very flat, and it was difficult to see any traces of digging. It had to be said that the Rockets had a talent for digging traps. Even the traps dug by a clumsy rookie like Ling Ling were impeccable.
"Waaah ~" Ling Ling had just stepped onto the road when her feet sank and she quickly disappeared from the road. She couldn't tell where the trap she had dug was, so she fell into it.
"Help ~~~""Lucky, lucky!”
The screams of the two voices echoed in the forest, and only one or two birds chirped in response.
Hoodlum and Amy were ready to continue their journey after their afternoon nap.
Hoodlum, who was tidying up his backpack, suddenly felt a voice ringing in his ears. He was stunned at first, then looked at Shirley. Shirley didn't seem to hear anything. Hoodlum asked in confusion,"Did you hear anything just now?”
"No, I didn't hear anything. It must be an illusion.”Amy replied.
"Is that so?" Hoodlum looked at the forest path in confusion. Maybe it was just an illusion. After all, even Cher didn't notice anything.
Hoodlum and Amy packed up and continued their journey. They could continue their journey before nightfall. They had not been walking for long and were approaching the place where Lingling had dug the trap.
"Help!""Lucky, lucky!"”
Two cries for help sounded in front of them.
There was actually a cry for help here! Hoodlum thought to himself. He exchanged glances with Xiao Mi and ran towards the source of the cry for help.
"Wow!" "Ah!" "Wuuu!"
Following that, three cries of surprise rang out as Afei, Xiaomi, and Cher fell into the trap together.
"Why are there two traps on this road?”Amy, who had fallen into the trap, rubbed her butt and complained.
Hoodlum immediately thought of the Rocket Squad, who often dug traps. Could it be that Musashi and Kojiro, the two idiots of the Rocket Squad, had run ahead of them? No, Billy was still behind them!
"Hey, are you guys okay?" Ling Ling, who was in the other trap, heard the sound of Hoodlum and Amy falling into the trap and shouted. She had dug two traps just in case, but she didn't expect to trap both groups.
"We're fine!" Xiao Mi replied. The trap was a little small. She was squeezed together with Ah Fei and could not even move her hands and feet.
"Let's get out of here first." Hoodlum said to Xiao Mi, then shouted to the people in the other trap,""Wait a moment, I'll save you immediately!”
Hoodlum adjusted his posture and took out a precious ball from his waist before throwing it out. The ball landed on the road and opened up. After a flash of white light, the figure of Magical Frog Grass appeared.
"Wondrous Frog Grass, use the rattan whip to save everyone!”Hoodlum shouted when he saw the curious Frog Grass looking into the cave.
Wondrous Frog Grass nodded and extended four rattan whips from its green leaves, saving the three people and Gilly Egg who had fallen into the hole.
"Hu! It was really dangerous just now." Hoodlum put Shirley back on his shoulder.
"I wonder who is so wicked to dig such a trap on the road!”Xiao Mi looked at the two traps angrily.
"That! Thank you for saving me." Ling Ling said timidly. She had been called immoral the moment she met him, but she didn't expect to meet the target directly. Although the development of the matter was strange, the result was not as bad as she had expected.
"You're welcome. My name is Ah Fei, and this is my partner, Cher.”Hoodlum introduced himself, and Cher called out to Ling Ling happily.
"My name is Xiao Mi ~" Xiao Mi introduced herself.
" Hello, my name is Ling Ling. It's my magical baby, Xiao Ji!" Ling Ling introduced the members on her side.
"Is your Pokémon a ghillie egg?”Hoodlum crouched on the ground and looked at Gilly Egg curiously.
"Lucky?" Gilly Egg looked at the young man in front of him curiously. According to its master, this person in front of it was the target of this mission.
Is there a problem?" Ling Ling asked with concern. Ji was the first Pokémon her grandfather had given her, and the only one she had.
Hoodlum smiled and said," It's fine. It's just that it's rare to see a trainer carrying a ghillie egg, so I observed it. Although the training wasn't very thorough, it was carefully nurtured. It's a very good magical treasure!”
"Really?" Ling Ling said happily. Hoodlum was the first to praise her for nurturing Pokémon, but then she asked,""Why can you tell? I couldn't tell the difference between Pokémon.”
Hoodlum smiled." Excellent trainers can see the degree and direction of Pokémon training from the smallest details. Skill, strength, agility, stamina, and so on.”
" Oh!" Ling Ling exclaimed. This was the first time she had heard such knowledge.
The two didn't care about the situation around them. They squatted on the ground and started discussing. Hoodlum talked while Lingling listened. One was talking excitedly while the other was listening with great interest. They had completely forgotten about Xiaomi.
Mi Ge stood aside and looked at the two people chatting happily. He snorted angrily and said,"Is this the time to talk about this? The sky is getting dark, and we still have to find a place to sleep!”
Hoodlum immediately came to his senses and smiled apologetically at Amy. He knew a lot about Pokémon, but Amy knew a lot too, so it was useless to tell her about it. It was rare to meet such a knowledgeable trainer, so he couldn't help but tell her everything he knew.
"Sister Lingling, why don't you come with us? We can take care of each other in this forest!”Xiao Mi invited. They couldn't leave a girl alone in the mountains.
"Can I? Thank you so much!" Ling Ling said happily. Her original goal was to join this team so that she could get closer to Hoodlum and investigate him better.
Hoodlum was quite happy to be able to join the new team. The watch on Ling Ling's hand suddenly attracted his attention. " Looks like this girl's identity isn't simple. This trip will be interesting," Hoodlum laughed.
With Ling Ling's addition, Hoodlum's team was temporarily reduced from a two-man team to a three-man team.
