Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 10 In the Dark

A temporary camp appeared sometime inexplicably a few kilometers away from the Metagross horde.

"Hurry up! Will you take responsibility if we delay things?!" a man wearing a gray steel-colored shirt with a five-pointed star logo on the back yelled at his subordinate.

"( ′???`) Boss Ma, are you sure we can make a profit?" the subordinate asked uncertainly.

"o(一︿一+)o Machines don't make mistakes. Who would have thought that while treating that Metagross, I had placed a tracking chip inside its body?" the man replied confidently.

The man, named Ma Sufeng, was a low-ranking officer in the official SteelTeam, and a Gym Leader-level Trainer. He then pulled out a display screen.

Status: Produced three hours ago

Physical condition: Extremely depleted (under review)

Location: 3 kilometers to the north

"<(-︿-+)> Heaven knows how the third captain managed to insert the chip into the Metagross. It's a pity we were only after the benefits, and now we're doing this kind of criminal business," Ma Sufeng said helplessly.

“( ′???`) Our family is being watched, and there’s nothing we can do.” The subordinate muttered, feeling unworthy of a name.

"I climbed all the way up to this position from the bottom and he makes me poach! He even threatened me with my family! What a joke!" Ma Sufeng got angrier and angrier as he spoke! After saying that, he touched the device embedded in the back of his head, something they both had.

This device is used to erase memories. Once it was introduced, its production and import were strictly prohibited in China. Currently, only that free country produces it. Once triggered, this thing will revert the memories to the point when they were first implanted, and the effect is extremely sinister.

"(o ‵-′)ノ" (ノ﹏＜。) Bring the optical invisibility cloak and the silent boots! We need to get all the elf eggs before dawn!" Ma Sufeng instructed his subordinates while inspecting the car's parts.

"Yes, Boss Ma!" The subordinate checked and packed all the optical invisibility suits and silent boots. He had heard from his boss that the strongest Metagross on their side this time was a Champion-level monster, so he checked them very carefully because if they were discovered, they would all be finished!

"Boss! It's all set up!" The subordinate reported to Ma Sufeng immediately after checking, with utmost respect. After all, he was only a professional-level player, and he wouldn't have made it into the Steel Team if it weren't for his master-level boss.

“(▼V▼+) Great! Ready to go!” Ma Sufeng quickly extinguished the campfire, led his subordinates into the off-road vehicle, and reminded them, “Go to the chip last, that’s the strongest and most dangerous one.”

"Yes, boss!" The subordinate still used this catchphrase.

The second half of the road—

“→_→ Awoo? (Are you so sure that the Aura is the child that the legendary Pokémon was talking about?)” Lucario looked at Song Chenggong, who was trembling uncontrollably, with a helpless expression.

“I believe you, Hatch! Trust my gut feeling,” Song Chenggong persisted.

After being threatened by Kyurem yesterday, Lucario told him that he tried to sense the Aura of that legendary Pokémon, and to his surprise, he found that there was a creature to the north whose Aura was very similar to that of that legendary Pokémon.

Song Chenggong was stubborn; without saying a word, he took Lucario and drove north. But who would have thought it would be so cold here at night! It's almost summer!

“Awooo! (Drive! It’s so late! You’re not having a hard time, but I’m sleepy! Find it quickly so we can go home and sleep!)” Lucario complained.

"Alright, let's go!" Song Chenggong, having patched up his clothes, stepped on the gas and sped off. Whoever wants to stay in this godforsaken place can stay!

Just a few minutes later, Lucario suddenly spoke up: "Awoo! (Stop! Come with me to see!)"

"What's so interesting?" Song Chenggong asked, puzzled. It was very cold outside, but Lucario had already gone out, so he had no choice but to follow.

"What's wrong?" Song Chenggong saw Lucario squatting by the roadside, rubbing a handful of dust in his hands.

“(Awoo. (Someone's been here; the soil under the carbon is still warm.)” Lucario said.

"It's almost midnight, who came here? Dog? Can you sense the residual waveguide?" Song Chenggong was also confused. Why would someone be here so late at night?

"Awoo! (It's almost dissipating, but it's in the same direction as that waveguide that's similar to it!)" Lucario looked in the direction of the road.

"What a coincidence? No, I have a feeling this isn't going to be simple. Let's go! Get in the car!" With that, he hurriedly got into the car.

"Awoo... (Why is it your intuition again this time? Don't you have any other reason?)" Lucario sighed and returned to the car.

He floored the accelerator! He didn't care about the safety of the night anymore and just accelerated! He had a premonition that if he was slow, he would miss something. This premonition had always saved him from danger in the past, and he believed it again this time.

Meanwhile, Ma Sufeng had reached the intersection closest to Qi Hao's side.

"Are you ready?" Ma Sufeng asked his subordinate.

"Alright, brother! By the way, why are your eyes showing through this onesie? Won't it be noticed?" The subordinate touched the onesie and asked the question he had wanted to ask during the inspection.

"You can see eyes in the middle of the night? Are you an elf or are they elves? Besides, this is just a safety measure. If you're skilled enough, you don't even need equipment!" Ma Sufeng said as he pulled his subordinate by the shoulder and walked in the direction he remembered, carrying nothing but his clothes and an optical transparent bag.

Soon, we saw rows of snow houses.

"Your half, and this half, yours, understand?" Ma Sufeng pointed to both sides with his fingers.

"Brother... how am I supposed to know where you're talking about when you're wearing an invisibility cloak?" The subordinate was completely bewildered. It was the same as someone telling you on the phone that you have to do this first, then this, and finally this. You were bewildered, I was bewildered, but the person speaking wasn't.

"Slap!" Ma Sufeng slapped himself across the face and said, "You left, I'll take the right, half for each of us, understand?"

"I understand now." The subordinate walked directly to the left.

“Great, just to be safe, let’s wait a bit longer before we move!” Ma Sufeng said, then realized there was no reply. “Holy crap! Where did they go?!”

Meanwhile, Qi Hao, who had gotten up in the middle of the night, thought: "Σ( ° △ °|||) What a generous gift! How come there are two big eyes flying around in the middle of the night...?"

Then those eyes suddenly looked over!

Qi Hao was startled! "Σ(っ °Д °;)っ Holy crap! Don't come any closer!!!" Without thinking, he turned and ran!

"Oh no! This is bad! There's another person here!" The subordinate rushed towards Qi Hao, trying to grab him.

"ヾ(??Д??)? Don't come any closer!" Qi Hao shouted as he ran, and coincidentally, the direction he was heading was exactly where Ma Sufeng was.

Behind Qi Hao, a pair of eyes floated in the air, occasionally emitting a horrifying voice (because they dared not speak loudly): "Don't run! Stop!"

"(p(≧□≦)q) Stay away from me!" Then, the subordinate kept touching Qi Hao's hand, which completely terrified Qi Hao. "(;′??Д??`) It wasn't me! Whatever your grievances are, they have nothing to do with me!"

『(o゜▽゜)o Record it! Record it! Another embarrassing moment in my history! I was so scared I cried, hahaha!』

Meanwhile, the Metagross horde... were all fast asleep (σ≧?▽?≦?).
