Chapter 64: 5 million

Before Jenny could speak, Ya Sha immediately guaranteed.

"Don't worry, I also have a share of this money. For my sake, the breeding house wouldn't dare to cheat you out of your money."

Jenny smiled, "These Pokémon will most likely be handed over to the breeding house in Lavaridge Town. The name of 'Spicy Red Pepper' Ya Sha echoes throughout Lavaridge Town. If they cheated 'Spicy Red Pepper' out of her money..."

"Wouldn't Little Pepper set their breeding house on fire?"

Ya Sha's face flushed, "Sister Lili, you're teasing me again!"

Looking at Ya Sha's strands of bright red hair, Kebi exclaimed, "She really does look like a string of red peppers."

Ya Sha's face turned crimson, and she shouted, "Don't mention peppers!"

Jenny smiled and said, "We arrested a total of thirteen people and confiscated thirty-one Pokémon, but most of them had their minds affected by a special computer."

"This brainwave control device, which originated from the Johto region, can make Pokémon fall into a state of rage, increasing their destructive power."

"However, prolonged use will severely impact a Pokémon's ability to think independently. Poachers don't consider a Pokémon's physical health; as long as it can increase their combat power, that's all that matters."

"Moreover, this effect is very difficult to reverse. These affected Pokémon can only be placed in breeding houses to reproduce offspring and cannot be used in battles."

A brainwave device from the Johto region that makes Pokémon angry? It reminded Kebi of a certain Dr. whose name was always mispronounced.

Kebi raised an eyebrow, "Jenny, do you know who the inventor is? Perhaps they possess a method to restore the Pokémon."

"At least obtaining their research data could help us find the correct treatment method faster."

Jenny shook her head and sighed, "The brainwave device was developed by a Dr. from Team Rockets. From initially requiring a head-mounted machine to now a single brainwashing session with long-term effectiveness."

"It has caused significant trouble for the Jennys in the Johto region. The Johto Alliance dispatched undercover agents multiple times, and finally, Johto Champion A Du personally went to apprehend him."

"His name seems to be Dr. Xibo, but even in the Alliance's special prison, he hadn't developed an anger brainwave treatment device before Team Rockets sent people to rescue him."

Confirmed, it's Dr. Nanbo.

But are the Alliance's prisons too easy to break into?

I remember a pair of thief Sisters who caused the death of the older brother of the Latias and Latios duo; they also quickly escaped after being caught.

Ya Sha got up and served herself and Jenny a large bowl of curry rice.

"Sister Lili, you've been busy all day. Quickly try Kebi's cooking."

Ya Sha was not at all polite, completely acting like the host.

Ya Sha picked up her spoon and suddenly had an idea.

"Kebi, don't you have that sparkly Psychic power? If you shine it on a Pokémon, it can restore them. Why don't you try if your Psychic can restore those distorted Pokémon?"

Kebi shook his head and said, "That Psychic is just a Psychic move, Heal Pulse. If Chansey can't cure them, I don't think I can do anything either."

Jenny sighed and said, "This symptom causes the offspring of the Pokémon to have reduced talent. Otherwise, with the quality of these thirty-one Pokémon, their value would be at least over ten million alliance coins."

"Now, the breeding house probably only wants to give less than five million."

Such a big difference?

Kebi immediately said, "I want to try."

Ya Sha couldn't help but spit out the curry rice in her mouth.

"Kebi, you money grubber!"

Kebi glared at her, "Do you think I'm like you, a rich young lady? How can I train Pokémon without money? Do you know how expensive Pokémon training materials are?"

"And is it really appropriate for you to insult me while eating the food I made?"

Ya Sha awkwardly bowed her head and ate.

After taking a bite of the curry rice, Jenny immediately decided to finish the curry rice before heading down the mountain.

Kebi rode on Jenny's motorcycle and experienced the feeling of flying.

Even with his Psychic, flying, and Teleport, he still felt a heart-pounding sensation.

Upon arriving at the command post Jenny had set up at the foot of the mountain, Jenny asked an officer to bring a Pokémon controlled by the anger brainwave.

Jenny released the Pokémon; Rhydon stood rooted to the spot, its eyes bloodshot, staring motionless at Jenny holding the Poké Ball.

Jenny handed the Poké Ball to Kebi, and Rhydon turned its head to look at Kebi.

"After they are brainwashed, they will only obey the commands of the person holding the Poké Ball. Anyone else who approaches will be attacked."

Kebi approached Rhydon and released his Psychic power to probe Rhydon's brain.

Kebi found that Rhydon's brain had been distorted, and this distortion was a normal physical change that Heal Pulse could not treat.

All Kebi could do was try to calm Rhydon's mind as much as possible.

Of course, not through healing, but through Hypnosis, mental control.

Just like turning left in a vehicle, you only need to turn right to get back on the right track.

This kind of treatment method was somewhat like twisting Rhydon's brain into a pretzel.

It would certainly cause adverse effects, as people often say, even if cured, they would still drool.

They would become low-intelligent and dull, but it could restore the Pokémon to calmness.

When the Pokémon's mind returned to calmness, the impact on the offspring's aptitude during reproduction would be minimized.

Rhydon's eyes became clear again, and it even picked up a small stone from the ground, put it in its mouth to chew, and wagged its tail happily.

"I can only do this much. I hope the breeding house can give a good price."

Out of thirty-one Pokémon, twenty-three were controlled by the anger brainwave.

These controlled Pokémon were rock-type, Water attribute, and Electric-type Pokémon.

"They were all Pokémon temporarily purchased by the Pokémon Hunter from the Underground Black Market, specifically targeting Moltres. There were no records of these Pokémon found in the Hoenn region."

"Most likely, they were captured from other regions, or even stolen from Trainers."

Pokémon distorted by the anger brainwave cannot be used in official competitions. If returned to Trainers, they would most likely not want them either.

The breeding house was their best destination.

Kebi mentally controlled and distorted all twenty-three Pokémon, turning them back into happy simpletons.

Kebi sighed. Being a happy simpleton was better than being constantly irritable and angry.

Perhaps, when his Psychic reached its peak, he would be able to straighten their brains that had become twisted.

Kebi followed Jenny back to Lavaridge Town and handed these Pokémon over to the breeding house for individual inspection.

Finally, the person in charge gave a very fair price.

Nine million seven hundred eighty thousand.

Jenny was very happy; this year, she could finally give everyone more bonuses.

"Because Mr. Kebi treated them, Mr. Kebi can take seventy percent of the extra four million, plus the bounty for capturing the Pokémon Hunter."

"You can get a total of five million!"

Buying and selling Pokémon is illegal. Without Jenny's intervention and Ya Sha's connections, Kebi would not have earned this much. Getting fifty percent would already be earning money while standing.

Normally, when cracking down on Pokémon Hunters, it's like buying and selling items in a game store; the prices are incredibly low.

But there was no other way; this was the only legal channel. If he didn't sell, he would just be stuck with them.

Five million was already a huge sum for Kebi.

Even in the black market, he might not be able to get such a large order.
