Chapter 10: The Title of Champion
"What's the water temperature?"

Luo Mu held a stack of Orange Academy uniforms that had become dry and tidy, and asked towards the bathroom where the sound of dense dripping water was coming from.

Nimo enjoyed the comfort of the hot water touching her skin, and her tense heart also relaxed a little at this time. She responded loudly to the door: "It fits!"

Luo Mu nodded, put the school uniform in the clothes basket next to the bathroom door, and reminded: "Your clothes have been washed and dried for you, just put them next to the door!"

"Good~"

Hearing Nemo's energetic response, Luo Mu smiled and shook his head, and then his expression quickly returned to calm, and upon closer inspection, there was a hint of seriousness.

The creek was not far from the small house, only a dozen minutes away, and it was less than half an hour since he rescued Nimo from the water.

Although he was anxious, Luo Mu could only wait patiently for Nimo to finish washing and then show him the way.

Luo Mu walked out of the small house and looked at the five Pokémon that had gathered in front of him and Mimikyu, who had been following him but whose presence was extremely weak. He said seriously, "The first priority of this rescue operation is to ensure the safety of the kidnapped children. Is that ok?"

"Meow!" "Bowu~" "Galaka!" "Siluo." "Swampoo!" "Mysterious Hill~"

The six Pokémon, led by Roentgen, all showed absolute confidence, which was a high degree of trust in their own strength and a response to Luo Mu's request.

Luo Mu nodded slightly and put them into the Poké Ball one by one, leaving only Dragonite outside.

Luo Mu looked at the six Poké Balls on his waist with emotion. This was the first time he had a full lineup with him since he finished the challenge of the Padia Champion League.

Stroking Dragonite's belly which felt very nice, Luo Mu recalled what Nemo had told him about his current condition on the way back.

She chose to run away from home after having a quarrel with her family yesterday.

The reason for the quarrel was very childish.

Neemo doesn't want to be a trainer, she wants to help her family's company like her sister.

Let’s not talk about why the fighting maniac Neemo doesn’t want to be a trainer.

After running away from home, Nimo didn't expect that she was kidnapped by kidnappers without anyone noticing after just staying on the beach near Xiaoshi Town for a while.

When Nimo woke up, she was already in a dim warehouse, surrounded by a few depressed children who must have been captured for some time.

Some were the same age as her, and some were younger than her.

While being kidnapped, Nimo heard the three kidnappers outside laughing without restraint, as well as the kidnappers' plans for her and the children.

The other children would be smuggled away from the Padiya region by them and sold to the Rocket Team at a high price in the Kanto region, while she would be used to extort money from her family so that the kidnappers would have money to enjoy themselves on the road.

They had long been eyeing Nemo, the rich lady, but had been unable to take action due to the tight security at Nemo's home. As a result, Nemo ran away on her own.

What follows is a scene in which Nemo is bitten by a rag dove that emerges from a hole and the rope that binds her is cut, allowing the dove to escape.

Although Luo Mu hopes to live a peaceful and leisurely life, these kidnappers are obviously here to destroy his peaceful and leisurely life. Dr. Olin's big reaction last time was also the influence of this group of kidnappers.

It just so happened that Nemo knew where the kidnappers' base was. If those people failed in their search, they would probably go back to the base to transfer the kidnapped children. With Dragonite's flying speed, they would definitely be caught off guard.

A few minutes later, Nemo, who was dressed dry again, ran out of the bathroom without even tying up her hair, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, let's go save them!"

Luo Mu nodded slightly, picked up Nemo and put her on the back of Dragonite, which was ready to take off. Then he sat on it and said with a smile: "It will be a bit fast, be careful and sit tight."

Nimo nervously grabbed her collar and nodded cautiously.

Feeling that the two people on his back were already seated, Dragonite's gentle and honest expression suddenly became sharp, and his aura of majesty slowly rose.

As its small wings flapped quickly, a gust of wind swept across the ground, and the calf-high weeds were bent by the strong wind pressure. The next moment, Dragonite appeared high in the sky. Nemo looked at the buildings and environment below, which were moving like ants, and asked curiously: "Why can't I feel any wind when it's flying so fast?"

Luo Mu looked into the distance without blinking and responded, "Dragonite used its flying energy to create a shield for us to block the strong winds. Otherwise, with its flying speed, we would not be able to sit on its back at all."

Nimo nodded, not quite understanding.

In an abandoned warehouse to the east of Pingdie Town.

Three cursing figures returned here. This was their base and also a temporary warehouse for storing the kidnapped children.

The bearded man in the lead spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground and cursed at the short man on the left: "How could you let a ten-year-old girl escape? You are really going backwards as you get older!"

The short man said nothing and just let the bearded man check his household registration book.

The tall and thin man on the right couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Boss!"

The bearded man who was called the boss didn't buy his words at all. He was so angry that he was breathing heavily and said viciously: "Since we can't find the little girl, I'm afraid she has been rescued by someone or drowned in the water."

"In any case, we should move our position now. First, sell these goods to Team Rocket, and then go to a big city like Brewing Light City to kidnap someone!"

The tall and thin man quickly agreed: "Boss is right."

The short man who had been silent the whole time took out three Poké Balls, released three Iron-faced Ninjas, and said softly, "I'll be on guard."

The bearded man snorted and said, "Don't be so useless this time!"

After saying that, the bearded man took the tall and thin man into the warehouse to prepare to move the goods to the van.

But he didn't notice the short man's nails digging into his flesh, or his cold gaze.

After the bearded man walked away, the short man gritted his teeth and whispered, "Sooner or later, I will make you kneel down and beg me to let you go."

"You probably won't be able to wait until this day."

Suddenly, a faint male voice came from above his head. The short man's pupils contracted and he instantly looked up at the sky.

The man riding Dragonite and the rich girl named Nemo who escaped!

The short man was about to yell to warn the two people in the warehouse, but Luo Mu and Dragonite would never give him the chance.

Accompanied by five flashes of red light, Luo Mu's Pokémon rushed into the warehouse with clear division of labor.

At the same time, a boundless dragon might descended from the sky, and the short man was crushed to the ground with bloodshot eyes, unable to move.

What about the Iron-faced Ninjas?

The only response he got was three consecutive falling sounds. The Iron-faced Ninja, who was highly expected by the short man, was killed instantly when faced with the sky-blue air blade that whizzed out after Dragonite flapped its wings.

The short man trembled his lips and uttered two words with difficulty: "Monster"

He had never had any clear concept of what a strong person was, but in this despair that seemed like the gap between heaven and earth, he understood.

From his limited knowledge, only big shots at that level could have such oppressive power.

The top of the pyramid in this world, the synonym of powerful, the pinnacle of personal strength - the champion.
