let go of that pokemon

Chapter 138 Collapse of the World
A hunched homeless man walked from the end of the alley to the trash can, holding a rusty iron rod in his hand, trying to find tonight's dinner inside.

Chen Yue's consciousness returned to his body, and everything in front of him gradually became clear.

Frowning, he blocked the rain with his left hand, and sat up with his right hand supporting the garbage pile.

In the quiet and dark alley, a figure suddenly appeared from the trash can, startling the homeless who came looking for food:
"Damn bad luck!"

The homeless man cursed loudly: "Get out! Get out of my way!"

Chen Yue glanced at him and jumped out of the trash can.

The homeless man stepped forward, stretched the iron rod into the dustbin and fiddled with it. Soon, he took out a loaf of bread left over from someone else's food.

Gray-black muddy water flowed from the top of the bread, and a disgusting smell of garbage emerged from it.

The homeless man threw down the iron rod, biting it like a treasure.

Chen Yue asked: "You just eat this?"

Suddenly a strange voice came from behind, and the homeless man was startled again, he turned his head and said angrily, holding his chest: "Mother, can you stop scaring people like a ghost!"

Chen Yue took out a ham sandwich from his backpack, and the homeless man's eyes were immediately attracted.

Chen Yue: "Tell me where this is, and I will give this to you."

The homeless man was taken aback, his eyes became a little strange: "This is Rocket City! Are you not a local?"

City of Rockets... There is no such place name in the Pokémon world.

Chen Yue frowned slightly, and changed the question: "What area is this? What year is it now?"

"You are so strange!" the tramp muttered, staring longingly at the fresh sandwich in Chen Yue's hand, swallowed, and replied: "This is the Kanto area, and this year is 2077."

So... this is the future of the Pokémon world?
After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Yue threw the sandwich in his hand to the homeless man, turned around and walked out of the alley.

As he walked, he opened the main task panel.

Different from the other dungeons, there are only six large characters in gray and black filled with a deadly atmosphere.

"Main task: Salvation."

No hints, no mission days, no rewards for completion.

At this moment, a burst of music full of rock band style came from the front.

Chen Yue raised his head, and saw a silver-white high-speed train drifting past from the floating lane above.

When the train passed by, behind it, high-rise buildings with flashing neon lights and full of sense of technology were exposed in front of him.

On the most conspicuous building among them, there is a very familiar mark on Chen Yue.

A capital letter "R"

City of Rockets... Collapsing World... No way?

Chen Yue's pupils contracted slightly, and then quickly turned back into the alley, took out a sandwich from his backpack, put it in front of the homeless man who was rummaging through the trash can, and asked:

"Who is the owner of this city now?"

The tramp licked his lips, savoring the taste of fresh ham and soft bread, and said, "Of course Team Rocket!"

"What about the Kanto Alliance?"

"The alliance? It was destroyed 800 years ago, wait!" The homeless man's eyes suddenly became vigilant: "I ask so many questions, you are not a resistance army, right? I can't tell you!"

What is the Resistance Army...

Frowning, Chen Yue took out three pieces of bread, put them in front of the homeless man, and said, "Tell me, I'll give you all of these."

"hiss…"

The tramp gasped, as if he had made a major decision in his heart, fixed his eyes on the food in Chen Yue's hand, and said:

"The Resistance Army is the Resistance Army! They are the only organization in the world that dares to fight the Rockets."

"I don't know about other things. I also heard it from other people. I was not born when the accident happened."

Chen Yue suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, he pursed his lips and asked, "What about Du?"

"Du?" Hearing the name, the homeless man didn't react for a while, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Oh! You're talking about the dragon king back then, right? He's been dead for decades!"

"How did he die?"

"I heard that he was bombarded to death by Chaomeng, and there is no body left. It's so miserable!" said the homeless man.

Mew-two……

Chen Yue couldn't believe it: "Chaomeng?"

"Yeah!" The homeless man nodded, "The Rocket Team's strongest weapon, the strongest elf in the Kanto area, if you go out and turn right now, stand on the street opposite the Rocket Building and look up, you might be able to see it."

"Okay, you can go." Chen Yue handed him the bread in his hand, then turned around and was about to walk out of the alley.

The homeless man stared at Chen Yue's back, with a greedy look in his eyes.

He grabbed his iron rod and followed in the torrential rain.

Chen Yue, who was walking in front, narrowed his eyes slightly, and calmly took out a poke ball from the air with his right hand.

Following a flash of white light, Lucario's figure appeared in the alley.

With one punch, the homeless man was blown away.

"Want to rob me?"

Chen Yue stepped forward, stood beside Lucario, and asked softly.

His black hair was soaked by the heavy rain, his face was pale, and his pupils were pitch-black, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The tramp looked shocked, looked at Chen Yue and Lucario in horror, and said in a trembling tone: "Fine... Elf ball? Lucario...you...who are you?!"

"Knock him out and throw him into the trash can." Chen Yue said.

"No! You can't do that!" the tramp was shocked.

Chen Yue turned around and walked out of the alley.

The homeless man's screams stopped abruptly, and soon there was silence behind him.

Lucario returned to Chen Yue's side and walked out of the alley with him.

It is night in this world now, and the neon lights in the city are flickering. Perhaps because this area is too remote, there are very few pedestrians on the street.

"Are you hungry?" Chen Yue asked.

Lucario shook his head.

"Okay, let's find a place to live and eat first!" Chen Yue stroked Lucario's fluffy head.

One person and one elf walked along the road while looking at this cyberpunk-style city.

The doors of the shops on both sides of the street were closed tightly, and the water-soaked newspapers were tightly stuck to the ground.

The billboards erected on the sidewalk glowed pale in the dark night.

A colorful slogan on it reads, "Wei Cuisine's newest dish [Fried Slow-Dried Beast's Tail], one serving only costs 98, come and buy now to enjoy a half-price discount for the second serving!"

And so on.

Chen Yue took a look, and suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience.

In such a big city, after walking for so long, he didn't even see a single living elf!

Combining with the billboard just now, Chen Yue felt his hair stand on end.

He pursed his lips, and put Lucario back into the poke ball just to be on the safe side.

Walking aimlessly on the rainy night street by myself.

Passing through this quiet area with few people, Chen Yue came to a commercial area with colorful lights.

He hesitated for a moment, then raised his foot and walked inside.
