"Do you have anything else to say?" asked the masked man.
"Don't you know where the headquarters is? This Purrloin should know, right? I'll ask it for you!" Eddie said, holding up the Purrloin in his hand.
"Ask the Purrloin?" The masked man was confused. How should he ask?
Under the masked man's puzzled gaze, Eddie looked at the Purrloin and whispered, "Do you know where the headquarters is? Tell me quickly, otherwise after I hand you over, I won't be able to control what others do to you."
"Meow meow meow~ What are you saying? I don't understand..."
Hearing Eddie's words, the Purrloin looked pitiful and tried hard to win Eddie's sympathy, but Eddie didn't buy it. He knew that pretending to be pitiful was the specialty of Pokémon like the Purrloin. If you believed them, they might scratch you in the face.
"As long as you tell me, I will do my best to ensure your safety." Eddie promised.
"Meow~" Really?
Seeing that he could neither trick Eddie nor escape from Eddie, the Purrloin became much more obedient.
"Of course, if you didn't tell me, we would both be dead now!"
"Meow meow meow~ Okay, I'll tell you everything I know."
It turned out that the masked man had been tracking down a drug trafficking gang. One time, he caught a member of the drug trafficking gang and captured him.
Originally, the masked man wanted to obtain more information about the drug trafficking gang from the captured drug dealer, but he did not expect that the drug dealer was actually a strong-willed person. He took advantage of the masked man's inattention and decisively chose to commit suicide.
However, the drug dealer had a Pokémon that secretly ran away while the masked man was fighting with his trainer. It was the Purrloin.
In fact, it was not difficult for the masked man to catch the Purrloin, but then he changed his mind and thought, since the clues of tracking the drug trafficking gang were interrupted, why not take the Purrloin as the next clue?
He felt that the drug dealer who committed suicide might want the Purrloin to pass information back to the organization. By then, someone would definitely come to contact it. Wouldn't he be able to take the opportunity to finally reach the drug dealer's lair?
But what the masked man didn't expect was that this Purrloin was not very strong but had a very cunning character. It actually discovered his tracking by accident and almost slipped away from under his nose several times.
During this time, the masked man has been playing a game of chase with the Purrloin.
However, in fact, the masked man really misunderstood the Purrloin. Its owner really did not instruct it to pass on information back to that crappy organization. Even if it did, it would never do so. It was so annoyed with that organization.
Now that the Purrloin has finally regained its freedom, it would be foolish to go back and fall into the trap.
Now it just simply wants freedom.
It had had enough of being in that evil drug trafficking gang. There was not a single normal person in it. When it followed its previous owner, it was beaten every other day and often didn't have enough to eat. Its life was really meaningless.
It's a pity that it has been caught by Eddie, and Eddie threatened it to reveal the location of the drug trafficking gang, so it had to cooperate.
Although it did not think of passing information back to the drug trafficking gang, it did know where the drug trafficking gang was located. After all, it had been there for several years and planned to escape every day. How could it not know the situation there!
Drug dealers? After listening to the explanation of Purrloin, Eddie's heart moved. Could it be that the drug dealers that Purrloin mentioned are the same group as the one that kidnapped Teacher Omura? Otherwise, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
Seeing that Eddie could actually communicate with the Purrloin, the masked man was surprised and felt very strange: Could it be that this kid really wasn't a member of the drug trafficking gang? It stands to reason that a small drug trafficking gang should not have such a rare talent!
"Okay, I've already asked you about the location of the organization you want to know. I can tell you, but you have to take me with you." Eddie said. He had to go and see.
"Of course you have to go with me, otherwise how would I know if you are lying!" Although Eddie didn't seem to be lying when communicating with the Purrloin, who knows if he is a good actor!
The masked man didn't waste any time. He took Eddie and Purrloin and rode on a Noivern. Under the command of Purrloin, they flew out of Lumiose City.
The drug trafficking gang's base is not in Lumiose City.
I have to say that the masked man is really skilled and brave. He dares to break into the base of the drug trafficking gang alone.
Noivern flew for half the night and finally arrived at its destination before dawn. It was a hidden valley with many caves. At the entrance of the caves, Trainers were patrolling with their Pokémon.
In addition, Eddie also discovered that there were a large number of Deerling living on the grasslands in the valley.
Seeing Eddie's surprised expression, the masked man hiding in the dark pointed at the sleeping Deerling and said to him, "The horns of these Deerling are the main material used by drug dealers to develop drugs!"
"The horns of the Deerling can be used to make drugs?" Eddie was shocked. It was the first time he heard of this.
Seeing Eddie's bewildered expression, the masked man looked at him deeply, and then explained: "Of course, the horns of the Deerling have a special ability, which is to create illusion.
Drug trafficking gangs seized on this characteristic and used the horns of the Deerling in combination with some unknown toxins to develop a drug that is harmful to people.
People who take drugs will become addicted to the illusory world created by the illusion, and then slowly lose their energy and spirit, eventually moving towards death step by step.
The scary thing is that once you get addicted to this drug, it is extremely difficult to quit it. It is because of this drug that countless families have been torn apart."
At this point, the masked man's tone became stern and resentful, but he was wearing a mask, so Eddie couldn't see his expression clearly.
Looking at the guards patrolling back and forth, Eddie asked the masked man, "Do you have any plans?"
The masked man asked back, "Plan? What plan? Of course, just break in!"
"But there are so many people inside, and you can't beat them with just your two fists. Why don't we ask Officer Jenny for help?" Eddie suggested.
Now the masked man finally believed that Eddie had nothing to do with the drug trafficking gang, but he shook his head and said, "No need, I can handle it alone." After that, he suddenly jumped out from the darkness.
"Hey..." Eddie couldn't stop him even though he wanted to, "This reckless man!"
Shouts were soon heard in the valley. It was obvious that the masked man was confronting the drug dealers. He commanded Noivern and the Mega Evolved Blaziken to take down everyone in the area, forcing the drug dealers to retreat step by step.
I have to say that this masked man is really powerful. Those rabble are no match for him at all. Eddie took this opportunity to quietly call Officer Jenny and reported the situation here to her in detail.
Officer Jenny, who received Eddie's report, was almost jumping with anger. In fact, their police had already figured out the location of the drug dealers' base, but in order not to harm the hostages, they planned to hold back and wait until they sent people to secretly rescue the hostages before taking action.
I didn't expect that the Flame Mask would jump out and cause trouble!
Officer Jenny is very familiar with the Flame Mask. This "vigilante" is very famous in Lumiose City. He often does things in secret to punish evil and eliminate evil. Not only is he well-known to the people in the police station, but he is also well-known to the citizens of Lumiose.
The problem is that, in addition to doing some good things, this Flame Mask also often disrupts police deployment and causes a lot of trouble for the police.
So in the eyes of the police, Flame Mask is not only not a hero but also a tricky and troublesome person.
When Eddie asked Officer Jenny for help, Flame Mask refused outright not only because he felt he could handle it, but also because he knew that if the police really came, they would not only not praise him for assisting the police in solving the case but would also arrest him as well.
In order to prevent the drug trafficking gang from moving its base, Officer Jenny immediately organized people to attack the base.
While waiting for the police to arrive, Eddie saw that the masked man was showing off his power in the valley and attracted most of the drug dealers. He thought about it and quietly sneaked into a cave while no one was paying attention.
