Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 416 Boss, we respect and love you!

I entrusted the matter of finding Xiong's apprentice to Emperor Dan.

Li Shuwen remembered that Dan Di's master, Ma Shide's ace, was a martial arts bear master. Ma Shide would probably be willing to help his bear apprentice who had been captured by poachers.

Urshifu, along with the Pokémon he rescued, evacuated directly from the sewers of Miyako City and arrived at a forest to the east.

This forest is quite large, enough for these Pokémon to live peacefully deep within it.

Of course, this applies to Pokémon that feel the forest isn't safe enough.

Li Shuwen could only try to find a way to safely send them to Armor Island.

The Isle of Armor is relatively undeveloped, and there are actually more active poachers there.

However, the Isle of Armor has a large enough forest coverage area that allows Pokémon to hide within the forest, making it difficult for poachers to track them down.

Li Shuwen looked at Riolu and Ralts and asked, "Will you still be curious about the world outside the forest?"

Riolu lowered his head in shame. "I'm not curious anymore."

This time, it was Riolu who suggested that everyone go out into the forest to take a look.

When encountering poachers, they still try to fight them.

As a result, they were all caught by poachers on the outskirts of the forest.

They also seriously injured the fossil pterosaur and Noivernosaurus that came to their rescue.

Li Shuwen patted Riolu's head and said with a smile, "It's good that you admit your mistakes and correct them. Train hard in the future and strive to become a force to protect the forest as soon as possible."

Riolu nodded. He had been watching from the corner all day and clearly saw how Martial Arts Bear Master used the power of Aura to fight against the crowd.

Riolu couldn't help but fantasize about the scene of him developing his Aura and wreaking havoc like a martial arts master.

After settling everyone in temporarily, Li Shuwen collected berries and herbs in the forest to treat the injured Pokémon.

After all twelve Pokémon were released and healed, Li Shuwen asked, "Today we can say that we have successfully caused a ruckus at Gongmen Market. Thank you all very much for your help."

"If you want to go home, I can take you back right now."

Pang Yan was the first to speak, "Boss, I want to follow you. Don't you still have a bear apprentice you haven't rescued yet?"

"I'm willing to follow you and wreak havoc in a human city again!"

Infected by Gianluga's influence, the other Pokémon also didn't want to leave.

"Boss, we deeply respect and admire you!"

Their main act of causing chaos at the palace gates not only vented their anger, but also significantly improved their strength, which had remained unchanged for a long time.

Perhaps, by wreaking havoc in human cities again, they can become even stronger?

Li Shuwen nodded, "No problem. I can give you some advice on how to get stronger. Let's try to achieve better results next time."

After instructing the twelve Pokémon, Li Shuwen finally relaxed and asked Riolu to help apply medicine to his wounds.

After eating over a hundred tree fruits in one go, Li Shuwen used his sleep skill and slept for half an hour, which almost completely healed his injuries.

Li Shuwen found the black market leader lying on the grass, eating tree fruits and pondering his future business plans.

"Could you get a boat to take these Pokémon back to the Isle of Armor?"

The black market leader immediately sat up. "Boss Martial Arts Master, now is not an option. With such a big incident at the Palace City Club, they will definitely be eyeing information about these Pokémon."

"The ships I can find will definitely leak everyone's information, so let's lay low in this forest for now."

Li Shuwen nodded. "Okay, can you find out any information about Xiong's apprentice?"

The black market leader nodded decisively. "No problem. The matter at the Gongmen City Club gives me an excuse to call Korla."

The black market boss took out his phone and made a call. The poacher leader answered and said irritably, "Why are you calling me at this hour?"

The black market boss grinned maliciously and said, "I heard something happened in Palace City, and I wanted to ask you if you've brought back Riolu and Ralts."

Upon hearing this, the poacher leader's mood worsened. "No! They're gone! Don't even think about using them to bribe your boss!"

Everyone is waiting for the mastermind behind the underground black market in Gongmen City to send in new people to take over the business so that they can claim compensation.

There was no response whatsoever.

The black market leader laughed and said, "It's no big deal that Riolu and Ralts are lost. You still have a bear apprentice. You can make it all back."

The poacher leader sneered, "What? You want to buy a bear apprentice?"

The black market leader replied, "No way, I don't have that much money. But after selling the bear apprentice, your name will probably spread throughout the entire Galar region."

"If any of those bosses want a Pokémon, they'll probably contact me to buy it. Don't forget about me when you make your fortune."

"Do you have time to meet up at my Changlin Street?"

The poacher leader said coldly, "No, I've been a bit busy lately."

The black market leader immediately said, "No, why don't you give me an address and I'll come find you?"

The poacher leader coldly refused, "I'm too busy, I don't have time."

The black market leader chuckled and said, "The Crown Snowfield auction is in two weeks, so shall we meet after the auction?"

The poacher leader's tone softened slightly, "We'll contact you later."

After hanging up the phone, the black market leader smiled and said, "Master Xiong of Martial Arts has confirmed that he will put his disciple Xiong up for auction at the Crown Snowfield Auction in half a month."

Li Shuwen nodded. "Do you have information on this poacher team?"

The black market leader told Li Shuwen the names of the poacher team and a rough outline of its members.

Li Shuwen memorized the information and exited the simulation.

Li Shuwen was still somewhat dazed when he got out of bed.

He is physically strong, but still not quite on par with Martial Arts Master Xiong.

Moreover, their strengths differed; he was not as pure as Martial Arts Master Xiong.

Li Shuwen's Dark Nether Strike is not like the Martial Arts Bear Master's ability to unify all the power in his body.

Li Shuwen couldn't use any of those Dark Netherworld Strong Double Strike or Dark Netherworld Strong Strike Triple Combo.

Physical strength and skill proficiency are still lacking.

However, Li Shuwen did find a way to become stronger from the martial arts master Xiong.

Li Shuwen turned on his computer and searched for information about this Galar poacher team online.

Surprisingly, it actually exists.

However, compared to the simulated world, their feat of capturing the bear apprentice was even more remarkable.

Six months ago, Officer Jenny led a team to break into the secret base of the poachers in this world.

All the bandits were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Li Shuwen narrowed his eyes. The poacher teams from both worlds had basically the same members, so their secret base should also be in the same location.

The save function is quite useful.

Li Shuwen returned to bed and continued the simulation.

He told the black market boss the location of the poachers' secret base he had found, and asked, "What do you think?"

Although it's unclear why Martial Arts Master Xiong suddenly gave an address after a period of meditation, asking how likely it was to be a secret base of a poacher team.

But after careful consideration, the black market leader replied, "It's about 80% possible. Judging from their activity patterns, it is indeed possible."
