"A Shiny Rhyhorn, this Young Master Zhao has quite a peculiar taste." Qingwu knew that some humans were obsessed with emotional Pokémon like Rhyhorn.
The red horn on Rhyhorn's head could sense human thoughts.
Shiny Pokémon were even rarer than legendary Pokémon. After all, Shiny Pokémon mainly occurred when a certain recessive gene became dominant during a Pokémon's inheritance, thereby changing the Pokémon's skin color.
Shiny Pokémon would also not be tolerated by their own kind and would often be driven out of their groups.
However, Shiny Pokémon had one characteristic: their combat power would be slightly stronger than normal-colored Pokémon.
"Young Master Zhao, this is where you'll be taught a lesson."
He glanced disdainfully at the Sanqiu fellow who had fallen to the ground, and quietly left with the large bat.
"Boss, should we call the police?" Sanqiu's little brother said to Sanqiu, enduring the pain.
One of his arms was broken by the fallen hanging light, and he was now whimpering in pain.
"Call what police? Keep this matter to yourselves. The official story is that the hanging light wasn't installed properly and fell down." Sanqiu glared at his little brother who had spoken.
He knew all his criminal evidence was in that notebook. If the black-robed person handed it over to Miss Junsha, he would be in deep trouble.
His secret record-keeping behavior meant that the family's people would not let him live. At this time, it was truly wise to run away quickly.
Sanqiu couldn't forget the look in Qingwu's eyes hidden behind the mask—cold, crazy, bloodthirsty. He was truly unlucky to have run into a madman tonight.
Qingwu, with the help of Team Rocket's communicator, invaded the Union's computer. He quickly found Young Master Zhao's specific information.
Young Master Zhao's name was Zhao Yuyu. He was from a noble family and usually loved collecting rare and precious Pokémon to show off his family's prestige.
Miss Junsha had always suspected Young Master Zhao of engaging in illegal Pokémon trading, but she had never found any evidence.
Many trainers whose Pokémon were robbed had reported cases to Miss Junsha, but due to the family's power, these matters were all swept under the rug.
"The people of noble families are like living leeches, constantly sucking the Union's fresh blood. No wonder Old Gui looks down on people from noble families so much." Qingwu checked Zhao's family's location through the communicator.
Although this matter was caused by Qingwu's misjudgment, the people of noble families were still disgusting. Coupled with a Shiny Rhyhorn as a temptation.
As a member of Team Rocket, Qingwu felt that he was letting Team Rocket down by being robbed of a Pokémon.
There was an estate covering several hundred acres in Kuchiba City, near its outskirts.
The Zhao family, having contributed to the Union and Dragon, were granted quite a bit of land. Later, they obtained this several-hundred-acre estate through forceful means.
The Zhao family lived inside this estate.
In one of the villas within the estate.
A young man, 1.8 meters tall, with black hair and a slender build.
He was currently leisurely looking at a Shiny Rhyhorn in a Poké Ball on the display stand. It was simply the best of the best.
"When I sign for that nameless Pokémon, I'll have another addition to my collection." The young man muttered.
Collecting Pokémon was his hobby. No matter which Pokémon, as long as he took a liking to it, he would forcefully seize it through various means.
Speaking of which, forceful seizure was an instinct ingrained in the Zhao family's genes.
In this collection room, countless Poké Balls were displayed on the exhibition stands, many of which contained rare and precious Pokémon.
Besides the Shiny Rhyhorn, there was also a Dragonair, a rare Dragon-type Pokémon.
"I wonder when that Sanqiu brat will send me the Pokémon." This collection room not only contained Pokémon but also many precious treasures collected by Zhao Yuyu.
In the center of the collection room, there was also a complete set of fossilized Tyrantrum bones. It had to be said that the Zhao family's financial resources were truly immense.
Qingwu arrived early and hid in the bushes of the Zhao family estate.
Under the cover of night, ordinary people wouldn't notice a living person lying in the bushes if they didn't look carefully.
At this moment, Qingwu was holding a telescope, observing everything around him.
"Truly worthy of a noble family, there are actually so many patrolling security guards." The Zhao family's patrolling security was divided into over ten groups, changing shifts every two hours.
The Pokémon used by these security guards were Growlithe and Arcanine, around level 30.
Their common characteristic was that they had a keen sense of smell and could quickly detect foreign scents, thus preventing outside intrusion.
"Fortunately, I trained in the wild before. To avoid the scent on my body attracting fierce Pokémon, I also made many sprays." Qingwu took out a spray from his backpack.
This spray contained an active ingredient with a citrus scent extracted from tangerines, which could fully mask his scent. Even sensitive Pokémon would only smell an orange scent.
This scent would also numb the olfactory nerves of sensitive Pokémon.
Qingwu took out the spray and sprayed himself and the large bat frantically. When he was sure there was no lingering scent, Qingwu quietly rushed out of the bushes during the shift change.
Qingwu had calculated it. The shift change would have a five-minute window. This time was enough for Qingwu to reach Zhao Yuyu's collection room.
The large bat, using its ghost-like movements, led Qingwu to sneak into the collection room.
"Wait, big bat, be careful of the traps here." Qingwu directly entered the second floor of Zhao Yuyu's villa, which was his collection area.
Qingwu pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack. After putting them on, he saw dense infrared lines.
"Indeed. This defense is truly strong." If Qingwu accidentally stepped on an infrared line, it would immediately trigger the villa's alarm system, and Qingwu would be surrounded and caught later.
"Fortunately, this won't trouble me." Qingwu put the large bat back into its Poké Ball. The gap between the infrared lines was large, so Qingwu easily passed through and reached Zhao Yuyu's collection room.
Qingwu pulled out a yellow reagent bottle from his backpack. Through the crack in the door, he poured the liquid from the reagent bottle into the collection room. The liquid quickly volatilized into gas.
Not long after, upon hearing the sound of a heavy object falling with a thud, Qingwu smiled proudly. He put on his gas mask and kicked open the door, entering the collection room.
"Good evening, Young Master Zhao. I heard you have rare Pokémon here. Why don't you let your brother here admire them?"
Zhao Yuyu and his bodyguards were just admiring the treasures in the collection room when they suddenly froze.
He and his bodyguards heavily fell to the ground, making him see stars.
At this moment, he discovered that the large door of the collection room had been opened, and a black-robed person walked in.
From Zhao Yuyu's perspective, this black-robed person, wearing a crying-laughing mask, stared at him with sharp eyes, like a criminal on a chopping block.
"Oh, you have quite a few rare Pokémon here." Qingwu's gaze swept around, and he said to Zhao Yuyu.
Qingwu was the first to see the fossil specimen of a Tyrantrum, about three or four meters long, occupying the best spot in the collection room.
"What exactly do you want to do? Put down my collectibles. I'm rich. I beg you, I can give you money. Please spare my collectibles." Zhao Yuyu whimpered.
Qingwu knew this was a delaying tactic and ignored Zhao Yuyu's words. Instead, he directly smashed the glass display case and took Zhao Yuyu's most precious collectible.
A Shiny Rhyhorn, and also a Dragonair.
"No, oh no!" Zhao Yuyu let out a desperate wail. At this moment, the people in the monitoring room had already discovered the abnormality in the collection room, and the alarm was pulled.
Qingwu directly opened the window of the collection room and, with the help of the large bat, flew into the sky.
"Young Master, are you okay?" The security guards arrived late. At this moment, Qingwu had already rushed out of the Zhao family's estate.
"My Pokémon, my most precious collection!" With the help of his family doctor, after injecting medication, the numbness in Zhao Yuyu's entire body was lifted.
Zhao Yuyu crawled and watched his lost Shiny Pokémon, his eyes filled with despair.
"Fortunately, I was prepared. I have a tracker installed on Rhyhorn's Poké Ball." Zhao Yuyu took out a laptop and personally operated it.
Zhao Yuyu discovered that the tracker on the Poké Ball had been removed long ago. His Shiny Rhyhorn had disappeared without a trace.
"Search! Search for me. See who has the guts to challenge my Zhao family!" Zhao Yuyu said furiously.
"Young Master, Great Ancestor's Dragonite has already gone to pursue him." The security guard respectfully said to Zhao Yuyu.
"Hmph, that guy got off easy. To die at Great Ancestor's Dragonite's hands is his honor. My Rhyhorn, I must get it back, that's my important collection!" Zhao Yuyu said with a pale face.
