He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4328 Rebuilding the Glory of Galar!

They were old acquaintances, so Xiao Zhi naturally didn't intend to be polite.

He curled his lip and bluntly complained:

"The way you two were stealing things while crouching down in the Misty Forest wasn't exactly classy either~"

Soder and Syldi simultaneously glanced at each other.

Wait a minute, how did this guy know?

In a rural place like the Misty Forest, would there be surveillance cameras?

Xiao Zhi put his hands on his hips, straightened his face, and got straight to the point:

"Go ahead."

"Where are the broken sword and shield you stole from the Forest of Slumber?"

That was the purpose of his trip.

The two slumped on the sofa, completely exhausted, but they could still manage to move their mouths.

"What 'humph'? The Slumbering Forest doesn't know."

"They actually dared to try to smear our Galatian nobles."

Pikachu leaped directly in front of the two, its cheeks crackling with electricity, revealing a fierce expression:

"Pikachu~!"

The electromagnetic wave just now caused zero damage.

But with its control over electricity, it could easily increase the voltage from 1 volt to 10000000 volts and give the electrotherapy a good beating!

Soder and Syldi's faces darkened, and their expressions became hesitant.

"Forget it, Pikachu, let's find someone else."

At that moment, Ash suddenly interrupted.

Although neither of these two people seemed like the type to withstand the interrogation during electroconvulsive therapy.

But who knows if their answers are true?

Let's be direct.

Seeing Xiao Zhi interrupt, the two upper-class nobles curled their lips into a sneer, revealing a mocking expression that said, "You can't do anything to us now, can you?"

However, the next second, Ash had already thrown the Poké Ball.

boom!

As the red light fades, the Big Brother Mr. Mime makes his second appearance.

"Please, Mr. Mime, hypnotize these two people."

Upon hearing this, the Mr. Mime's eyes instantly became playful.

It walked up to the two of them with a cold smile and even elegantly wiggled its fingers.

Soder and Syldi's expressions changed drastically!

It's mainly a humanoid Pokémon, dressed in a suit, slowly approaching with that sinister smile—

It's really a bit scary!

"I'll talk. I'll talk."

Soder was the first to succumb to the pressure, and his voice trembled.

It's probably also related to their hairstyles—

Clearly, Hildy with the shield hairstyle has a stronger mental fortitude than Sord.

"Bari~"

The Mr. Mime sneered, "Now you have no choice."

It hasn't tested this move on a sandbag yet, even after mastering it.

The next second, the purple light in the Mr. Mime's eyes suddenly intensified, and a layer of white mist and cold air even visibly spread around it.

Swoosh—!

Swoosh—!

Two beams of light purple energy shot out from the eyes of the Mr. Mime, landing precisely on the eyes of Sord and Hildy.

This is not Articuno's signature move, Icy Gaze.

It's actually the hypnotic technique of the Mr. Mime.

However, unlike the ripple-like effects of ordinary hypnosis, its current hypnotic principle is closer to a cold gaze.

The effect is not to make the target fall asleep.

Instead, the goal is to induce a state of mental confusion in the target, making them willing to answer any questions!

"Looks like the Galar Articuno's feathers really helped!"

Ash smiled and walked up after seeing that Mr. Mime's performance was over.

At this moment, Soder and Syldi lay on the sofa, their eyes still open.

But his pupils had become hollow, and his expression had completely fallen into a dazed and confused state, making him easy to manipulate.

Hypnosis successful!

"Bari~!"

The Mr. Mime turned to the side and gracefully raised its hand in greeting.

Now you can do whatever you want! Ash nodded secretly; he was curious to see what Mr. Mime would look like using the full version of Cold Gaze.

After all, when Galar Articuno uses this move, it's essentially a psychological pressure tactic, and has nothing to do with the Ice type.

Mr. Mime is a true ice and psychic type, so maybe that's what allows Cold Gaze to unleash its full power?

Approaching the two, Ash coughed and asked:

"Tell me, where are the broken sword and shield?"

"Bari, bari!"

At that moment, the Mr. Mime suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

Xiao Zhi paused for a moment, then looked at it:

"What's wrong?"

"Bari!"

The Mr. Mime gestured with a serious expression.

Its hypnotic technique turns the target into a bean bun; asking such vague questions can easily lead to wrong answers.

What if these two people stole other broken swords and shields before?

Xiao Zhi: "."

That seems to make some sense.

So, following the clues from the Mr. Mime, he reorganized his words.

It's not water, it's rigor.

"Tell me, where are the old, rusty broken sword and shield that you two stole from the Misty Forest?"

"Also, how can I get them?"

The Mr. Mime nodded, feeling relieved.

Soon, Soder's eyes glazed over, and he answered mechanically:

"We hid it in the private warehouse of Hisoka Department Store in Machine City."

Syldi also spoke up:

"Both of our fingerprints are required to enter."

Ash nodded. Hisoka Department Store—

Is that Uncle Pierre's general store, the building across the street?

Hasn't his local specialty products driven his business out of business yet?

It was thanks to the Mr. Mime's reminder that I was able to get it even if I had known the location.

As for fingerprints

"Bari~"

The Mr. Mime smirked, and an idea immediately came to him.

It shook its finger, and the moisture in the air quickly condensed, forming two thin flakes of ice about the size of a fingernail.

Then it grabbed Sord and Syldi's fingers and gently pressed them onto the shaved ice.

*Crack!*

Two fingerprints with clear patterns were preserved in this way, and then it was frozen quickly with a little more force.

When needed, simply revert it to a soft, smoothie-like consistency.

"As expected of my older cousin."

Ash gave Mr. Mime a thumbs up, saying, "He's so reliable."

His movements were as practiced as if he used to be a gangster.

In this way, the problem of sword and shield is solved.

However, after meeting up with Mary, we'll probably head straight to Machine City; there's no time to waste.

We can't stay in Caolu Town tonight.

However, besides the broken sword and shield, he had a whole host of other questions he wanted to ask.

This is a rare opportunity, so we can't let it go to waste!

Xiao Zhi looked back at the two people sprawled on the sofa and continued to ask:

"Tell me, what are you going to do with the sword and shield?"

Sord's eyes drooped as the machine replied:

"In order to gain the approval of Zamarante and Cangxiang when the darkness returns, and to become their master."

"And save the Galar region, becoming a true hero once again."

Sild followed up with a reply:

"It is our duty to restore the glory of the Galatian nobility."

"."

Xiao Zhi's lips twitched. These two actually had such lofty ambitions? (End of Chapter)
