In the past, he alone had been able to overwhelm and defeat a fully evolved Pokémon belonging to this Trainer. But now, why was it just a single encounter—without even the possibility of seizing an opportunity—that directly resulted in his big brother, who was stronger than himself, being killed?
Although such accidents had occurred within their organization before, those victims at least had a chance to react before being killed. This kind of strength could only come from trainers at Elite level or above. Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary Trainers to accomplish this.
After all, they had plundered too many Pokémon. Even Pokémon with owners had lost their lives at their hands in great numbers.
But those Trainers couldn't keep up with their fighting style. They couldn't even survive a single round and died directly. As long as Pokémon attacks on Pokémon could be sustained continuously, the death prevention mechanism could still be bypassed. When a Pokémon's life was still being preserved, they could directly extract the most energy-rich core.
"It's not that my Pokémon are too strong—it's just that they never took you seriously. Haven't you noticed? Despite your ability to attack what seemed like the weakest target, Ninetales, after all those attacks, it appears my Ninetales didn't suffer any real damage."
It looked so flashy, but the end result equaled zero.
"It's also because I'm very curious about the organization you belong to that I'll keep you alive. Maybe I really will choose to keep one alive between you and your big brother so I can ask for some relevant information. Of course, what you've done aligns with my attitude, so I'll keep you. As for your big brother, there are definitely many Pokémon who died at his hands, so I'll send him on his way."
Roy said while brushing off his hands. After all, killing a Pokémon—or killing a person—Roy didn't feel much about it. Let alone this kind of villain with all kinds of blood on his hands. Killing bad people didn't count as murder; it was just getting rid of some bacteria that shouldn't exist in this world.
Second Brother looked somewhat panicked.
Before, he had thought they'd encountered a harmless person. Even out of curiosity, this person had brought powerful Pokémon along to ensure his safety, just like some sheltered young master.
But now it seemed they were the prey, and they were prey who no longer recognized what they were hunting.
This sense of insecurity made his whole body covered with goosebumps, but he didn't dare act rashly, fearing that the next gust of wind would explode his head.
"As for the question you asked—why am I so strong? Don't you find it strange? In such a remote place, there are even such dangerous Ultra Beasts around. And I've fought such an Ultra Beast to such an extent without suffering any damage myself. Do you still doubt my strength?"
"It's because you didn't observe carefully, rather than us being too strong. Perhaps for people like us—"
Ultra Beast.
As the name suggested, this was a special existence more powerful than ordinary Pokémon.
"Do you want to survive, or go on your way now to accompany your good brother?"
Roy also very flatly gave Second Brother this choice. If he was willing to cooperate and tell all the information he knew, it wasn't impossible for Roy to consider letting him go.
But if he didn't cooperate now, maybe his fate would be the same as his big brother's.
"Don't have any thoughts of rebellion, because I'll be informed of any suspicious movements around you immediately. And you already know that speed—whether it's strength or ability, you're fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered."
Second Brother, whose situation was called out so clearly, also swallowed hard. He knew his strength wasn't as good as this Trainer's, and he wouldn't even be their match.
Maybe he could find an opportunity to attack this Trainer directly. After all, Trainers were just like ordinary human beings.
They couldn't possess any real strength themselves. The powerful ones were the Pokémon. How could those human beings survive in this cruel world without the protection of Pokémon?
"By the way, I also want to remind you—perhaps in the eyes of you mutated people, human beings are still so weak and feeble. Compared with Pokémon, humans are indeed like this. There's nothing to refute about that, but that's just other people you're dealing with. If it were me, no matter how powerful you are, I naturally won't fall behind anywhere. Although I can't directly punch your head off, I definitely won't give you any chance to act."
Such terrible words were spoken so lightly by Roy. Perhaps he himself couldn't achieve the powerful strength and explosive ability like Pokémon.
But his ability had already reached the point where he could predict the occurrence of certain things in advance, just like Lucario. So when his enemy was preparing to act, Roy had already foreseen what might happen.
At that point, didn't he have the power to prevent such a dangerous thing from occurring?
Second Brother was able to see that Roy, even after what had happened, remained so composed. Whether it was killing Pokémon or killing humans, it seemed nothing could arouse his emotional fluctuations.
He knelt tremblingly on the ground.
"I surrender. As long as you don't kill me, I'll tell you everything..."
This Second Brother's mind wasn't as vicious as his boss's. Sometimes when facing mission targets, he would try his best to show his gentle side, although it didn't make much difference in the end.
At that time, it was also because of this attitude that he received such a chance to survive under Roy's judgment.
"After all, a bad person like you—even if you don't die at the hands of your own people, you'll die at the hands of those you intended to kill. So I'll show mercy and let you live for a while longer. As for how long you can live, it depends on your own performance..."
Second Brother next to him also nodded and bowed in agreement.
He knew he had done all kinds of terrible things and wasn't sure when he would die. But at least he wouldn't be beaten to death right now.
