Kapitel 319: Mission Completion
The collision between Thunderbolt and Psycho Cut created a violent explosion, quickly obscuring Gengar's vision in a cloud of smoke.
Before the smoke could clear, a Dark Pulse suddenly pierced through, striking Gengar, which had no time to react.
Under Absol's Dark Pulse, Gengar fell from the sky, looking quite injured. After all, Gengar was a rather fragile Pokémon. Additionally, Absol's strength far surpassed Gengar, and the Dark Pulse was its weakness. So, Gengar was fortunate not to be more severely injured.
Gengar staggered, attempting to rise from the ground. However, Absol swiftly followed up with another Psycho Cut, causing Gengar to collapse once more.
With Gengar defeated, Yuga took out two Poké Balls and threw them, one at Gengar and the other at Seviper.
The Poké Ball successfully captured the unconscious Seviper but rebounded off Gengar when it made contact. What was going on?
Yuga was puzzled but tried once more, throwing a Poké Ball at Gengar.
It had an owner! Pokémon that were incapacitated in battle couldn't be captured by a Poké Ball. Unless there was a special reason, this indicated that Gengar had a trainer.
Yuga easily connected the dots. He had only encountered five people during this period, and the one most willing to interact with him was the seemingly polite team leader. Moreover, only he had the opportunity to secretly hide Gengar in Yuga's shadow when he wasn't paying attention.
But why? Yuga and the team leader had no apparent grievances or conflicts. Could it be because he had grown closer to Beidou?
It just didn't make sense.
Taking the Poké Ball containing Seviper, which Absol had brought back, Yuga looked at the unconscious Gengar with a perplexed expression.
However, Yuga didn't intend to let the matter rest. Using Pokémon for sneak attacks on trainers was a serious offense. All he needed to do was report this incident to Mr. Moore, and the League would investigate. After all, Yuga had been attacked while performing a League mission, and the League had a responsibility to thoroughly investigate.
Since there weren't many Pokémon left to capture, Yuga decided to end the mission. He released Ursaring and instructed it to carry Gengar in the direction of the base.
Since Yuga had reunited Ursaring with its child, it had become more obedient and could generally follow his commands.
So, with Absol at his side, Ursaring dragging Gengar by a hind leg, Yuga made his way back to the base.
Since most of the Pokémon in the area had been cleared, when Yuga returned to the base, Mr. Moore was not out and about.
Mr. Moore looked at the unconscious Gengar and spoke with a serious expression, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. You won't suffer unjustly."
Yuga nodded. He knew he couldn't resolve this issue himself; he couldn't just go and eliminate the team leader. Reporting it to the League was the best course of action.
Yuga also shared his suspicions with Mr. Moore, giving him a direction for the investigation.
After listening to Yuga's theory, Mr. Moore said, "I understand. We will focus on investigating the person you mentioned."
Leaving Gengar in Mr. Moore's care, Yuga returned to his room. Before long, the others began to return as well.
When Beidou came back and opened the door, he immediately saw Yuga sitting in a chair.
"You're back!" Beidou exclaimed happily.
Yuga turned to face Beidou and smiled. "Yeah, did Flannery return with you?"
"They've all returned! You're the one who wandered off on your own. We were really worried!" Beidou said, patting Yuga's shoulder playfully.
Yuga apologized sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Beidou pulled out a chair, sat down, and smiled, saying, "No matter what, as long as you're safe!"
Because they were set to leave Illuma Island the next day, Mr. Moore, along with the island's mining teams and trainers, organized a farewell party that lasted until the early hours of the morning.
The following morning, after breakfast, Yuga and his group packed their belongings, preparing to leave Illuma Island.
This time, Mr. Moore didn't guide them back as he had other matters to attend to on the island. So, they had to make their own way back.
Before departing, Mr. Moore found Yuga and said, "We investigated the Gengar and found it to be an unregistered Pokémon."
In the Pokémon League, trainers must register their Pokémon in the League's system, much like a Pokémon ID card, if they intend to use them in official battles. However, if a trainer has no plans to participate in battles, registering their Pokémon is optional. Some of Yuga's Pokémon, for example, were not registered.
Nevertheless, most registered League trainers have their Pokémon on record since not participating in battles defeats the purpose of being a trainer.
Yuga was surprised to learn that this Gengar was unregistered.
Mr. Moore explained, "While we don't have conclusive results yet, rest assured that we will continue to investigate this matter."
Yuga nodded and said, "Thank you for your efforts."
Returning to the group of trainers preparing to leave Illuma Island, Yuga immediately spotted the team leader among them. The team leader also turned to look at Yuga with an odd expression.
"Just enjoy your freedom for now, but don't let me catch you. Otherwise, you'll regret it," Yuga thought to himself.
"Yuga, what are you looking at?" Flannery asked, waving her hand in front of Yuga's eyes, perplexed.
Yuga snapped out of his thoughts and smiled at Flannery. "Oh, it's nothing. By the way, aren't you staying with your grandfather here?"
Flannery shook her head and replied, "Why would I stay here? It's not like I have anything to do. I'd rather go back."
Yuga nodded in understanding.
Soon, it was time to depart. Yuga and Flannery released their Dragonair and Tropius.
Beidou's flying Pokémon was a majestic Pidgeot, which looked quite powerful.
As the leading trainer took off on their Pokémon, others followed suit, one by one, taking to the skies and leaving Illuma Island behind.
Yuga rode on Dragonair, taking a final glance at the gradually receding Illuma Island. He let out a deep sigh and then accelerated, catching up with the others.
Their destination was still Fallarbor Town, where they had started their journey.
Time passed as they endured the monotony of travel. Much like their journey to Illuma Island, it took them a day to return, and they arrived in Fallarbor Town feeling exhausted.
Since it was late, they were warmly received by Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center in Fallarbor Town.
