Then a huge building appeared before his eyes.
Just as he was about to push the door open and enter
However, their path was blocked by several men in black who appeared out of nowhere.
"Who are you? This is private property. No one is allowed to enter without an invitation."
This should be the actual exchange location in the black market.
"Sorry, I don't have an invitation, but what if I insist on going in?" Lin Xi said with a smile, completely unconcerned about the men in black.
"Final warning, leave now."
The expressions of the men in black instantly turned hostile; their mission was to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.
In their view, Lin Xi shouldn't be a particularly capable person; after all, if someone is capable, why would they be so foolish as to barge in?
Therefore, they don't need to give these kinds of people a friendly look at all.
What if I don't leave?
Although I know these people are just doing their job, it's still a bit annoying to be looked down upon by this group of ragtag soldiers.
"Then don't blame us for being ruthless," the men in black said, their expressions growing even more hostile.
In the past, although some inconsiderate people would occasionally wander in, they would quickly behave themselves under their threats.
After driving away some arrogant people, it's been a long time since anyone has been so disrespectful.
It seems they're definitely going to teach this ungrateful brat a lesson today.
Because Yuuna was too conspicuous at the black market, Lin Xi temporarily placed her in the Pokémon Home.
Go on, Mud!
With the words of a man in black, a Pokémon covered in mud and reeking of stench was thrown out of its Poké Ball.
Mud
Rating: 32
Potential: High
Go, Blaziken!
Blaziken, use Flamethrower!
Lin Xi wouldn't even look down on a Pokémon of this caliber, and Blaziken wouldn't be interested either.
What? I thought he'd be a worthy opponent, but... that's it?
Coupled with that stench, it was so disgusting that people would keep their distance.
Lin Xi didn't want to waste any more words and directly had Blaziken spew out a huge, scorching pillar of fire.
It blasted the stinky mud away.
Upon seeing Muk defeated, the black-clad thugs immediately reacted as if they had witnessed something unforgivable.
"How dare you make a move in the black market?" one of the burly men in black roared.
"So what if we make a move?" Lin Xi glanced sideways at these small fry.
"What arrogance! Do you think you can act so cocky here just because you have a Blaziken?"
"This is our territory, you bastard!"
The men in black each pulled a Poké Ball from their pockets and threw it on the ground.
Clearly, they are preparing for a full-blown brawl.
Several Kalos region-specific Pokémon surrounded Charizard.
The levels are all around 30.
The leader is a level 47 Dragon King Scorpion.
The Pokémon surrounding Blaziken clearly gave the men in black a lot of confidence.
Seeing that his side outnumbered him, he immediately said smugly, "I advise you to leave obediently, or don't blame us for bullying you with numbers."
Lin Xi was surprised that these villainous organizations still had some integrity and didn't take direct action.
However, their judgment wasn't that good. Would they have dared to appear in front of them so boldly if they didn't have a certain amount of confidence?
The fact that they appeared before them meant they weren't afraid of them at all.
"Blazing Chicken, the Flame Vortex defeated them all!"
These Pokémon are no match for Blaziken.
Immediately, swirling fireballs appeared in the Blaziken's claws and began to spin rapidly.
Surrounded by dazzling flames
The blazing chicken suddenly raises and swings its powerful limbs.
How could a few Pokémon be a match for Blaziken? Faced with its incredibly powerful flame attack, they were no match for it.
They all collapsed to the ground, unable to fight.
Lin Xi's strength astonished the men in black.
They never expected the enemy to be so formidable; in an instant, all the Pokémon were defeated.
Don't be fooled by how impressive the people Lin Xi met before were; that's because they were all geniuses or gym leaders.
Normally speaking, a dojo is already pretty awesome.
They couldn't understand why Lin Xi, who was so powerful, would make things difficult for them, the gatekeepers.
With Lin Xi's talent, he should be able to get tickets for free.
Lin Xi's formidable strength has already earned the recognition of many men in black.
"Now, can I go in?"
Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes, Lin Xi asked again.
"Sir, why are you making things difficult for us?" At this moment, the leader in black was very helpless, but he still stepped forward with a stiff upper lip.
He stammered and refused Lin Xi's 'reasonable' request.
"We'll let you in without permission from above."
That would be our dereliction of duty.
In the black market, dereliction of duty is no small matter; even if their superiors kill them for it, they have no grounds for complaint.
Even knowing they were no match for Lin Xi, they dared not let him in.
Otherwise, I would have lost my life.
"Then let the people upstairs come out, or I'll go all out and break in."
Lin Xi also knew that this matter depended on the response from higher-ups; these people didn't have that ability.
Under Lin Xi's icy gaze
The leader of the men in black was in a dilemma; he couldn't afford to offend either side.
I started contacting my superiors by phone to explain the situation.
This is already the best possible outcome.
Whether they live or die is now up to fate.
Before long, a middle-aged man in a suit walked towards the group.
Just by looking at his demeanor, you can tell he's no ordinary person.
However, upon arriving here, he first gave his men a stern look, ordering them to lower their heads and not dare to utter a sound.
He looked Lin Xi and Blaziken up and down.
Seeing the man in a bright red suit, Lin Xi knew that his guess was correct.
This is Team Flare's territory.
Team Flare is a behemoth in the Carlos region.
Because they have already infiltrated the local life of Carlos.
They can earn a lot of money from it every year.
And this black market
It was clearly one of the places they controlled, used to siphon money and settle accounts.
However, compared to the Kanto Rockets, they tend to be hostile organizations that engage in direct acts of violence.
Team Flame operates in a more covert manner.
More like a spy or undercover agent
However, it cannot be denied that their power is truly immense; they are a formidable dark force in the region, on par with many villains in other areas.
