Chapter 165 Hugo's Little Ones
At the Liyong City Police Department, surrounded by his trainers and police officers, Bogaman gestured as he reported what he had discovered.
The detective's Pokémon skills were disastrously poor, but he taught them a lot of tricks and techniques. Through agreed-upon hand signals and reasoning, he quickly grasped the current situation.
Earlier, Hugo devised a plan to use himself as a scarecrow to attract the attention of the police leadership, allowing the two elves to operate covertly within the police station. However, the real purpose was to get the latter to investigate the evidence storage room and preemptively retrieve the false evidence placed by the mastermind.
At this point, Chimchar and Piplup have clearly exceeded expectations. They not only successfully found the evidence file, but they even bumped into the mastermind himself at the police station! Even now, Chimchar is still chasing the mastermind all over the streets!
"It feels like in your mouths, the mastermind has become a creature like the 'Tantan Mouse' that's everywhere..." Officer Jenny couldn't help but complain.
In fact, the detective's deductions about the mastermind behind the incident were not unfounded. The Liyong Power Plant explosion involved far too many inexplicable coincidences, making it difficult to believe it was merely a simple accident.
If your room is crammed with a giant Snorlax, then the first thing you'll suspect when you see broken bottles and jars on the floor is that enormous creature.
Naturally, Hugo set his sights on Team Plasma, the most rampant evil organization in the Unova region.
Why would an Electric-type Pokémon, which has followed the rules for many years, suddenly rebel and demonstrate?
Why was Arnault not at the factory when the explosion occurred?
Why would an elf happen to witness Alliance officials entering and leaving the factory?
And why did all of this have to happen at this particular time?
It just so happened that N was passing through Liyong City on his travels.
Behind every coincidence lies a certain inevitability, and if this inevitability is linked to plasma clusters, everything makes sense.
Only plasma clusters can profit from chaos. Or rather, their goal is chaos itself!
It's exactly the same scheme as back in Flying Cloud City, the same trick that caused the chaos at the Pokémon exchange...
Looking back now, that duel in the wilderness was also very strange—since N is now the king of Team Plasma, there must be someone secretly protecting him. But in the battle in the abandoned industrial wasteland, N was easily knocked unconscious and dragged away by Azure and Touko, which is definitely not normal.
The members of Team Plasma could not stand by and watch their spiritual leader be defeated, much less tolerate him being dragged away like cargo by two little girls.
Generally speaking, those henchmen would suddenly appear when N is in trouble, throw two smoke grenades on the ground, and then disappear with their king—that's how the plot should develop to be considered normal.
Hugo and Azur Lane split up their operations primarily to prevent such a standard scenario from unfolding. In that case, a fierce battle would be inevitable, and it would be best for a detective whose mere presence would hinder Pokémon performance to stay away from the battlefield…
However, the plot did not unfold as Hugo had predicted, and the green-haired youth's subjects never appeared.
The detective didn't believe that Team Plasma, who wielded immense power in Unova, would make such a lapse in judgment. He guessed that his subordinates were probably on a more important mission. Having witnessed N gather a large horde of wild elves, the subordinates felt there was no immediate need to worry about the safety of their target, so they temporarily set aside their security duties and began to act independently.
What would be the more important task?
Hugo shifted his perspective and began to consider the issue from the enemy's point of view. He quickly reached the same conclusion as Smura—assuming the protest was about to break out, the Plasma Group's supporters could only support their leader in two ways: scale and motive.
Hugo had no idea where the Plasma Group would be or what kind of mischief they might be up to in the city, and as an outsider detective, he was powerless to stop the villains' actions.
But he was on his way to the police station to verify his suspicions. If someone really intended to plant false evidence in the police station, he could conveniently solve the problem of false evidence at the same time.
.
The two generals who will carry out the infiltration and search mission are Piplup and Chimchar.
Of Hugo's three Pokémon, Turtwig is the most careful and steady. Although it is still in its small, baby stage, its personality is already close to that of its final evolution, Torterra.
After learning various reasoning skills from the detective, it gradually developed into the type of armchair detective, becoming more and more leisurely and staying in the office as much as possible without going out, which is why it always stays at the Feather Residence.
The Grass-like Tortoise's favorite thing to do is to reread the case information collected by Hugo. If it finds anything unusual, it excitedly approaches the detective, brandishing its vine whip and awaiting a reward. Hugo's atlas containing information about Team Plasma contains much of the information the Grass-like Tortoise gleaned from between the lines of newspaper files.
The little fire monkey's personality is most similar to Hugo's. However, besides the fun of solving puzzles, it actually enjoys the thrill of intellectual games even more.
Perhaps because of its size being similar to that of humans, the little chimpanzee always enthusiastically roams through all sorts of accident scenes. Whether it's infiltrating to collect evidence, participating in reasoning, or assisting in investigations, it always executes the detective's orders like a perfect all-rounder.
It can patiently spend an entire day staking out and taking the necessary photos for the detective; or, when a murder occurs, it can examine every clue at the scene, such as footprints, bloodstains, hair, wounds on the body, lividity, and personal belongings, to deduce the true nature of the case.
It is precisely because the little fire monkey's detective skills are so similar to Hugo's that the latter can always see through the truth before it, so that when everyone is solving cases together, the little monkey never has a chance to show its skills.
Pogaman seems to be the clumsiest of the three little guys.
Since water-based moves are the least powerful, the detective always prefers to let Piplup unleash his attacks when displaying his aura of misfortune—and of course, it always ends in a complete farce.
Compared to Chimchar and Turtwig, Piplup seems to have a strange quality that makes it appear endearing no matter what it does.
This Pokémon is the number one among the three little guys—it is the first Pokémon to pass the reasoning test designed by Hugo and obtain the qualification to stay at the agency.
It always proceeds with its own logic at a leisurely pace, seemingly a step behind its companions, yet it always finds the simplest way to prove the truth. This is neither a difference in talent nor a disparity in experience, but simply because Pogaman is better at observing humans.
A Pokémon's perspective can sometimes be exceptionally sharp. Several times when Hugo was reading mystery novels, Piplup was able to identify the murderer as soon as he turned to the character list—not because Piplup could discern a character's good or bad nature from their relationships, but because his method was more direct: guessing the author's writing preferences based on the author's biography on the title page.
Such an unorthodox method of guessing the murderer has a success rate of over 70%, which even Hugo had to admire.
Smura stumbled upon this very monster at the entrance to the evidence storage room...
Smurf, dressed in a police uniform, had already placed the forged files and was leisurely waiting for the wave of wild Pokémon to sweep through the Liyong Police Station. But in the blink of an eye, he saw two starter Pokémon running out with the evidence he had just put in!
The two elves were small in size and were located in the blind spot of the guards in the ward office. Moreover, because Smura had just entered and exited, the door to the evidence storage room was wide open without any precautions!
When he first sneaked into the storage room, the old man secretly sneered at the Li Yong Police Station for being so careless, giving him an opportunity. Now, seeing these two little guys holding up fake evidence, looking equally smug, Smura almost used his "crushing" technique on his back teeth.
Faced with the false evidence discovered by the uninvited guests, the wise man instinctively wanted to take it back, but reason told him he couldn't do that—that would expose his infiltration of the police station. The best strategy was to send out his handheld sprites to deal with them unnoticed, and then put the files back in the laxly guarded office.
Although my repeated comings and goings might attract the guards' attention, I couldn't worry about that right now...
While Smurf was lost in thought, in the distance, Piplup patted the little Chimchar on the shoulder, pointed with its blue fins at the open door of the storage room, and then the two Pokémon began to communicate.
The old man was about to observe for a while longer when, in a moment of distraction, he suddenly realized that the two beginner elves opposite him had noticed him.
Looking at the white-haired "police officer," the little fire monkey revealed a mischievous smile.
The monkey paw holding the forged document suddenly turned into a ball of flame.
