Chapter 914 The Thief with the Key
Time returns to the present.
Also in the Kanto region, Pallet Town
Because of Arcanine's sudden movement, Lin Jing hurriedly held Riolu in her arms and leaned over to Arcanine's back.
"Leo... (It's so heavy...)"
Riolu grabbed Lin Jing's chest and tried to resist with his face almost crushed by the other party.
"Please be patient. What's going on with Windy Dog?"
After standing up a few degrees, Lin Jing also lay on the wind speed dog and asked.
"Ouch... (I think... I found a thief...)"
Windspeed Dog lowered his voice and blocked his sight, going around to the back of the house, quietly peeking around.
"Um... Is it possible that you are leading us to break into someone's house..."
Lin Jing tilted his head to take a look at the things around him and the fence next to him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"And are you sure he's a thief and not the owner of this house?"
In response, Windspeed simply rolled its eyes. It did not eject only half of its head like before, but instead exposed most of its body.
"Ouch~ (Or else you can see for yourself that this guy's behavior is a bit too weird.)"
Following the view that had widened a lot, Lin Jing also saw a half-grown boy with his butt sticking out, preparing to climb out the window.
"Ouch! (Oh no, this guy is going in!)"
After taking a few steps, Windy Hound noticed that his opponent was about to flip over and immediately took action.
For some reason, Lin Jing always felt that the back of that young man here was somewhat familiar. Before he could think carefully about where this feeling came from, he felt a sudden push on his back.
"Hey wait..."
"Whoa!"
In just one second, the Windy Dog rushed out and accurately grabbed the thief's neck.
With a very experienced flick and a stomp of the front paw, the thief was accurately arrested by Arcanine.
But for some reason, Lin Jing's eyes twitched slightly.
Why do I always feel a familiar and strange feeling...
Following the warmth in his arms, he glanced at Riolu who was in front of him. I don’t know if he saw what Lin Jing was thinking or what, but Riolu just nodded.
"Leo... (That's right, you and this guy are usually like this...)"
"Shut up! You're the only one who talks too much!"
Before Riolu could finish speaking, Lin Jing covered its mouth.
Really... Even though it hasn't been long since he was captured, this guy has already figured out a general idea of me just like Petalleaf and Sylveon, and sometimes he's even more skilled than them.
Only at this moment, he felt extremely regretful about Bird's ability that allowed him and Riolu to read a hundred-word essay with just a glance.
"Wuwuwu. (It's no use covering me up. You're always like this.)"
[If you say that again, I'll bite your ear, the black one! ]
Only after receiving such a message in the waveguide did Riolu's erect black ears return to their original state, and he just let Lin Jing cover his mouth and act obediently.
Damn it, it decided to give this guy extra training in the next few days!
Oh, that training manual I got from some gym seemed to say that it’s best to let trainers and Pokémon practice together, right?
Riolu stood still with a dangerous look in his drooped eyes.
Unfortunately, Lin Jing didn’t notice this at the moment.
It was just because the more he looked at the struggling figure under Windspeed's claws, the more he seemed to feel a sense of familiarity.
"Damn it! Who are you? Are you Team Rocket from the Kanto region?
I warn you to let me go!"
"Woof! (What are you making so much noise for, you thief!)"
Windy Dog had no good temper towards the thief who was trying to steal something through the window, and used a little more force to hold down his claws.
"Wait, Windspeed, let him go first and listen to what he has to say."
Paying attention to the claws of the Windspeed Hound again, Lin Jing quickly reminded it.
"Ouch. (Since Jing said so, then okay.)"
After muttering something, Windspeed loosened its claws temporarily.
Anyway, even if this guy wants to run away, it can be caught easily.
"Really... who the hell are you and why are you running into someone else's yard?
Is it the Rockets who always do bad things? "
The young man got up from the ground again, his anger surging.
"Well... to put it simply, my Arcanine thinks your behavior is a bit like that of a thief. Frankly speaking, I also think you are a thief since you climbed through someone else's window.
So you should explain what you were doing just now, otherwise I will throw you to Miss Junsha."
After taking a closer look at the guy in front of him who was pinned to the ground by Windy Dog and covered in dust, Lin Jing felt that he looked more and more familiar.
It was because of this that Lin Jing was actually planning to think about it just now, but he didn't expect that Windy Dog would speak first when he saw the other party about to flip into the house.
"Humph! What do you mean I'm a thief!
Let me tell you, I am Professor Oak's grandson, how could I do such a petty theft?
As for this place, it's my friend's house. This guy had an appointment to come out today, but he didn't show up when the time came, so I just came to take a look."
"So, who the hell are you?"
At the end of his speech, Xiao Mao looked at Lin Jing.
"Since you are sincere...
Ahem, I'm here to look for Professor Oak's trainer, and I just happened to pass by here.
The reason has just been stated.
Since it's your friend's house, you should have knocked on the door.
Judging from this, they must have gone out. It's probably useless for you to climb through the window, and it's really easy for bystanders to misunderstand. "
While explaining his own origins, Lin Jing looked at Xiao Mao with sudden enlightenment.
I didn’t see this guy the last time I came here. I didn’t expect that the first person I met when I came to Pallet Town this time would be Xiao Mao.
Before, it was his back view, and later, Xiao Mao’s front was mostly covered by dust, and because of his clothes, he didn’t recognize him at first glance.
If you think about it carefully, who else could have such a long spiky hair with hairspray on it except Xiao Mao?
"It's the guy inside. I guess my aunt must have gone out for something today and this guy stayed in bed. I was going to sneak in and scare him.
I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing, it’s my bad luck…”
Afterwards, Xiao Mao scratched his head in dissatisfaction.
After all, what Lin Jing said before was true. It seemed that there was nothing wrong for a stranger to regard his behavior as that of a thief.
Although other people in Pallet Town would definitely not find this scene strange...
“Ahem, sorry.
Anyway, as an apology, if you don't mind, I can help get you in, but of course you will need to explain it to the owner of this house yourself."
"No!
I won't accept help from strangers. I can handle it myself."
Xiao Mao glared at the trainer riding the majestic Argyle with envy and anger, then he took out a key from the flower bed next to him.
The door opened with a creak.
Before closing the door, she pulled her eyelids and stuck out her tongue at Lin Jing.
Pat---
The wooden white door closed again, locking Riolu and Lin Jing directly outside the door.
