"Aren't you afraid that you might be wrong and kill one of your own people?"
Hearing Mr. K's words, David was momentarily at a loss whether to cry or laugh. The reason he was exposed was because he had performed too well just now.
How was he supposed to know that the person he was impersonating was such a good-for-nothing!
"Wrong… hehe… impossible to be wrong. And even if I was, so what? It's just a dead cannon fodder anyway. After this, these guys won't have a good end either..."
"Our own people? They don't deserve to be our own people."
Hearing David's question, Mr. K said with disdain, not taking the possibility of accidentally killing one of their own seriously at all.
In his eyes, he never considered these poachers to be on the same side from the very beginning. Their own people? They don't deserve it.
Listening to the other party's words, even though he knew they might be terrorists, it was only at this moment that David truly gained a deep understanding of their ruthlessness.
But no good end after this? David pondered the meaning of this sentence, linking it to the previous incident of Pyroar attacking the train. Connecting the two, a flash of insight suddenly sparked in his mind.
David immediately understood.
"You were the ones who lured Pyroar to attack the train! Your purpose in cooperating with them was not to sell Pokémon at all."
"Heh~ It seems you really are a smart person! But smart people never live long. Before you die, let me make you understand everything!"
Mr. K seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect David to know about this, and even more, to have guessed the truth based on his few words. The killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
"That's right! The train attack was our plan. These poaching groups never knew about it from the beginning."
"As for business, heh~ these guys only have such limited vision. That was just an excuse to fool these wastes."
"Once this batch of goods is transported away, we will cut off contact with these cannon fodder."
"The aftermath of the train attack will ignite the wrath of the Cloudspire Alliance, and they will be left to bear it!"
Perhaps feeling that David was sure to die, Mr. K explained somewhat triumphantly at this moment.
Hearing this, David had already understood the entire truth of the matter.
The new equipment of these poachers must have been provided by the organization Mr. K belonged to. They had formed a partnership with these poaching organizations under the guise of selling Pokémon cubs.
However, their true purpose was to create a terrorist attack in the Cloudspire Alliance, and these poachers were merely brought in to serve as scapegoats to bear the Alliance's wrath.
According to the Cloudspire Alliance's usual practice, such a major incident would certainly lead to a thorough investigation and the apprehension of the culprits.
And this unknown criminal organization would then only need to cut off contact with these poachers, feigning a buyer-seller double-cross, to shift all responsibility onto the poaching syndicate.
They would disguise the terrorist attack as a Pokémon attack caused by poachers extensively capturing wild Pokémon cubs.
They could then safely extricate themselves. If Pyroar hadn't directly attacked humans in the first instance, and if David hadn't been on that train, their plan might have actually succeeded.
Thinking of this, David couldn't help but feel a little "pity" for these guys.
Working so hard for so long, not only did they do all the work for others, but they would probably also lose their lives in the end.
Those poachers were still happily thinking they had a big business deal, probably still dreaming of getting rich at this very moment!
"What a bunch of greedy fools," David sighed.
It was a shame, but with the other party having said so much, he naturally understood that the business, from the very beginning, was likely a scam.
It was merely an excuse to use them.
As long as they sent people to impersonate customers in the early stages, spending a little money to let Mr. K bring them more profit, then when the fish were hooked—
According to their previous records, after the train terrorist attack, these poachers, when facing the Alliance's pursuit, would only then discover that they had been blacklisted by their partners.
"Planning terrorist attacks is your goal, and these Pokémon are also your goal, aren't they!"
David suddenly spoke.
"Damn… You!"
"Good, since you already know everything, it's time for you to die."
Mr. K was originally explaining triumphantly to David, but upon hearing David's words, his expression immediately changed.
After some fumbling, he again pulled out several Poké Balls from his waist and threw them all out in one go.
"Crobat, Houndoom, Shiftry, and Magmortar, go! Take down that kid!"
The red light of the Poké Balls flashed, and then the three subsequent Pokémon appeared before him.
David's system scanned them. He understood that Mr. K's main force should not be limited to just these few in front of him.
These Pokémon in front of him had all just broken through to Professional Stage Two. From the foundation of these Pokémon, the opponent should not be an ordinary Gym-level Trainer.
Logically, he shouldn't only have a few Pokémon of this level.
That Mr. K probably didn't want to expose his true identity. Perhaps these few Pokémon were trained for that very reason.
Looking at those few Professional Stage Two Pokémon, David no longer had the mood to slowly battle with Zorua and the others.
Who knew what other goals this terrorist organization might have. And whether the terrorist attack was only on this one train he was on, or if there were many other scheduled incidents.
He now had to immediately report this information to the Alliance.
"Kill him directly!" Mr. K ordered his Pokémon.
Facing the attacking Gym-level Pokémon, David made no reaction, only softly calling behind him,
"This time, I'll have to trouble you, Dragapult."
"I have an urgent matter that I must report promptly. There's no time to play with them slowly now."
As soon as his voice fell, under the opponent's astonished gaze, a transparent tail suddenly appeared in mid-air first, with deep purple Dragon-type energy entwined around it.
"Dragon Tail!"
A powerful Dragon Tail directly slammed the Crobat flying in mid-air to the ground.
Dragapult's figure appeared in mid-air, and at the same time, two Dreepy shot out like arrows from a bowstring, flying toward Shiftry and Houndoom with lightning speed.
"Swish swish~"
The Dreepy, striking through the air, had a power that these newly entered Gym-level Pokémon simply couldn't resist.
Then, Dragapult's body traced an eerie arc in mid-air, directly submerging into the dimensional space.
A moment later, Dragapult reappeared in front of the astonished Magmortar, and with just one Phantom Force, it completely lost its ability to resist.
In an instant, the opponent's four Pokémon had completely lost their combat capability. This was still because of the power difference, and Dragapult had held back.
After defeating all opponents, Dragapult floated in mid-air, its powerful Elite-peak aura fully displayed at this moment.
Mr. K, who had just been so arrogant, now had his eyes practically popping out.
A hint of despair was revealed in his eyes. How could he have imagined that the opponent actually had an Elite-peak level Pokémon protecting him closely?
He had just told all the details to that guy. Now, not only was the cat out of the bag, but he himself was also at a dead end.
