Chapter 693
"Master, do we really have to move forward?"
The bodyguards looked at the dark passage in front of them. The only light here was the flashlights in their hands, and the passage ahead was like a monster lurking in the dark, choosing to eat people, and it was very creepy.
Ian said dissatisfiedly: "We must keep moving forward! You just saw the unique color of that Kokodora, and the red eyes. As a trainer, don't you know how rare Kokodora with different colors are?"
"In order to catch it, let alone enter a passage, I will ask you to blow up this cave!"
"Anyway, the old man is holding it up!"
In order to pursue the Kokodora that he had caught a glimpse of, Ian led his bodyguards down the underground cave and finally came to this passage.
The passage was very long, and even if you shone a flashlight into it, you couldn't see the end at a glance.
For some reason, the bodyguard felt that the alarm bells in his heart kept ringing, urging him to leave here quickly and not move forward.
But thinking that the salary offered by Dominic Company was more than double that of the previous companies, the bodyguard swallowed his saliva, and finally succumbed to the temptation of money, and continued to pursue the escaped Kokodora with Dominic.
After advancing for an unknown period of time, the long passage was finally coming to an end, and there was a thick rock wall in front, which was undoubtedly a dead end.
The bodyguard squatted down and looked at the small hole on the ground that was obviously newly drilled, and said to Ian helplessly: "Master, the Kokodora should have dug a hole and escaped to other places. We should not be able to catch up."
"Asshole! The company hired you to tell me these things?"
Ian was so angry that he cursed and swore at the bodyguard.
The bodyguard did not say anything, and let Ian curse for the sake of salary, emptying his mind and waiting for Ian to scold tiredly and hold the rock wall to breathe heavily.
The bodyguard glanced at the communicator on his wrist, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he said, "Master, let's go back then. Someone said that they saw the person in charge of the mine transfer chatting with a yellow foreigner with a different-colored Metagross. Now the foreigner is heading towards the underground cave through Tunnel No. 7."
"However, after that person finished talking to the person in charge, he took the different-colored Metagross back into the Poké Ball and replaced it with a seemingly ordinary-looking Broken-Tailed Motorcycle Lizard. It is possible that the person in charge specifically reminded the other party."
Ian stopped his action, and a strong greed appeared in his eyes.
Different-colored Metagross, this is good news.
It is well known that the way Metagross thinks is like an emotionless computer. It is a Pokémon that can adapt to the environment more quickly than other emotional Pokémon even if it is robbed.
A single foreigner, without bodyguards around him, and with only professional-level strength, isn't that Chunchun delivering the courier to him?
Knowing that someone must be there to cover for him, Ian, who was used to being lawless, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back now and see if we can stop that person!"
Compared with the different-colored giant gold monster, Kokodora is not a rare thing. Ian was in a particularly good mood. He kicked the rock wall above the hole where Kokodora dug a hole as if to vent his anger, and said, "You will definitely regret not following me, Master Ian!"
Who knew that this kick seemed to trigger a switch, or that Kokodora destroyed something hidden in the rock wall when digging the hole. The rock wall that was supposed to be a dead end flashed a few times as if there was no signal, and gradually became transparent, revealing the obscured interior.
It was a passage with a near-future wind. Compared with the gloomy environment, it was bright and full of civilized atmosphere.
It should have been a place that made people feel safe, but when a beam of red light suddenly shone from there, the bodyguard's sense of crisis reached its peak. He rushed to Ian without hesitation and threw him to the ground.
Before Ian could start to curse, a destructive beam of light gushed out from there, passing over the two people's prone bodies. The missed beam of light directly blasted a large hole on the rock wall of the passage, scaring Ian to scream sharply.
His stupid move made the bodyguard's heart rise to his throat, and he covered Ian's mouth desperately to stop him from making a sound.
His intuition told him that the attack just now was just a tentative attack. Ian's shouting at the top of his voice would attract the unknown existence that launched the attack.
Unfortunately, the opposite happened. Ian's voice obviously attracted the attacker. A stream of purple light, wrapped in violent wind pressure, appeared in the bodyguard's dilated pupils in an instant.
It was a disc-shaped object like a flying vehicle. After the object discovered the bodyguard and Ian, it flew in the air.It transformed into a strange "creature" covered with purple armor, with a human-like appearance and a cannon on its back.
The bodyguard was not sure whether this steel bug was a robot or a Pokémon, but there was no doubt that their lives were threatened.
The pair of emotionless red eyes were staring at them, and the bodyguard carefully reached to his waist, trying to take out the Poké Ball to protect himself.
Unexpectedly, this move seemed to touch the nerves of the steel bug, which was close to human height. The cannon on its back, which was terribly cold, aimed at the bodyguard, and the beam began to gather.
The bodyguard found that Ian, who was knocked down by him, seemed to have fallen into a coma because of the shock, and he couldn't help but feel desperate.
If I had known earlier, I would not be this stupid bodyguard, and I would not do it even if I was paid three times the salary.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded: "Order, GT-002, stop attacking."
The moment the voice fell, the light on the steel bug's cannon quickly dissipated and gradually calmed down.
The bodyguard had no time to be happy. When he saw the person approaching, he was shocked.
"Boss...?"
Yes, the person approaching was the actual person in charge of Dominic Company, Ian Dominic's father - Charles Dominic.
Charles' expression was very calm. He did not react much to the bodyguard calling his name. He looked at Ian who was unconscious under the bodyguard and sighed: "Alas, it seems that he has to clean his memory of this period of time again. This is the nth time..."
The bodyguard did not understand what he was saying at all, and asked tentatively: "Boss, the young master is unconscious, should we...?"
Should we send him to the infirmary?
Before the bodyguard could finish the second half of the sentence, Charles pointed at the bodyguard and said: "GT-002, kill him."
The eyes flashing with strange red light lit up again, and a beam of light shot out from the cannon quickly, accurately hitting the bodyguard's heart.
The bodyguard who died with his eyes wide open never figured out what happened and why Charles did this.
After waiting for the bodyguard to die, Charles looked at him coldly, and asked GT-002 to carry the bodyguard's body and the unconscious Ian, and walked inside.
...............
Underground cave.
After leaving Tunnel No. 7, following the guidance of Diamond, Su Hao and Motor Lizard defeated many wild Pokémon that blocked the way and successfully entered the bottom of the cave.
He did not meet the heir of Dominic Company who was reminded by the person in charge. He did not know whether he had strayed from the other party or the other party had gone back.
As for the steel bugs that flew very fast mentioned by Diamond, Su Hao could not guess whether it was Pokémon or a robot due to Diamond's poor description ability.
If it was Pokémon, the only flying steel and bug Pokémon were Mantis, Knight Snail, and Genesect of the Mystical Pokémon.
Su Hao is more inclined to believe that it was the Giant Mantis that Diamond encountered. The Knight Snail can only float and cannot fly at high speed, but the Giant Mantis with some light metal characteristics can fly at high speed.
After all, no matter what, it is impossible for the ancient mythical Pokémon Genesect to exist in this underground cave.
However, since Diamond said to pay attention to the other party, Su Hao also perked up.
After all, according to Diamond's description, the reason why those Pokémon, which are probably Giant Mantis, are patrolling in the area is that they are most likely guarding something important.
Considering the possibility that Wilson mentioned that there may be a branch of the R Research Institute below, we must act with extreme caution.
