"Both of you, this is a dangerous area, it's not suitable for customers to enter!"
Rock looked at the man and woman in front of him, the youth looked handsome, in his early to mid-twenties. The girl was a little younger, looking to be only fourteen or fifteen, about the same age as that little bastard in the cave.
Not to say it was small, but it wasn't big either.
It looked like these two people were brother and sister, but what kind of relationship they had had nothing to do with him, Rock, although he didn't know why that manager of the Safari Zone didn't rush to call the police or something when a large number of people had disappeared, and actually dared to let people into the Safari Zone.
It seemed that this manager probably wasn't a good thing either.
Of course, there should be a lot more going on behind the scenes, but Rock doesn't care about that.
Together, Rope and Whitley looked at the youth in front of them who was wearing staff clothing, had a friendly smile, and was considered a good-looking youth, and brought a look of excitement on their faces.
"Great! Are you a staff member? We've been here for a day and haven't seen anyone, I heard that there are supply points for trainers in the Safari Zone, can you take us to the supply point? We're starving to death!"
Said Whitley pathetically touched her stomach, looking at Rock with a resigned face.
Rope also nodded with the same sad face, as if the two were going to starve to death if they didn't eat something.
Rock could be happy, just when he wanted to sleep, someone sent him a pillow, he was just thinking about how he should lure these two people into the cave, but it turned out that these two people gave the reason by themselves.
"Of course! It's our duty, come on, follow me and I'll take you to the supply point, there just so happens to be quite a few other trainers there, you should be able to have a good chat."
Rock had a big smile on his face. Then walked ahead to lead the way.
And behind him, Lunatone doesn't say a word, just silently levitates in the air and follows Rock.
Whitley and Rope exchange a look.
Whitley: [Is this an idiot?]
Rope: [It could just be a little foolish... or it could just an idiot...]
Rock's identity was naturally recognized by Rope and Whitley the first time he appeared. According to Servants of God's habit of coming up with codenames, they usually take a word of their Pokémon and use it as their codename.
It's like Ice and Froslass, Vision and Mismagius.
Although it's not always accurate, like Ice also has Delibird, and the guy named Kai also pulls out Xatu instead of Abra.
But it's still possible to judge it by and large.
At first Rope also speculates on what exactly the so-called Rock and Ground's representative Pokémon is, and that question is answered after meeting Lunatone behind Rock.
Lunatone and Solrock, presumably.
And who's going to believe a guy who says he's a staff member when he pops up out of nowhere after wandering around for half a day without spotting anyone!
When there's no one in a place that's supposed to be heavily trafficked that's a weird thing in itself, and it's far more likely to happen with tourists than with staff.
If this staff said they came to investigate the accident and kicked people out then it would still be believable, like this kind of poor acting in front of them coupled with words that make people confused is simply insulting to the intelligence of those who are being lied to...
Especially when the two of them were mentioning the supply point the sneer in each other's eyes was the same as that of a fox who has stolen a level, it's hard for people to pretend they can't see it... Rope was also helpless, the most normal Servants of God people encountered should be Ice and Vision...
Although Rai and Denki were reliable in their work, their acting style could only be described as heavenly. Thinking of Rai and Denki made Rope think of the technique they used back then to make Hoopa Unbound show up early and almost congeal into a solid body. That still concerned Rope, but nothing came of it after asking Ice and Vision.
There was no telling if Rock and Ground could surprise themselves this time.

"What do you mean the mass disappearance of people in the Safari Zone wasn't your doing?!!!"
Adler growled loudly as he squeezed the phone in his car.
A cold voice came over the phone, "Are you stupid? We're looking for money, why would we want to clean out the entire Safari Zone? It doesn't make money that way."
Adler's anger didn't go away, "So tell me now!!! in Safari Zone! Who is it?!!!"
"What's it got to do with us, Adler, that's your job." The other man's tone took on a meaningful smirk, but it was clear that the smirk didn't carry good intentions...
"Asshole!" Adler snapped.
"Pay attention to your tone of voice, Adler, I came to remind you is already to give you face, we thought it was you who made a mess of it, our initial plan is to silence ah, so we restrain the idea of killing you, you also give me control of your mouth."
The tone on the other end of the phone was light and casual, but the words that came out carried a taste of blood.
And Adler seemed to be having flashbacks of how these people acted and how he actually joined them.
He took a deep breath and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "So what do I do now? Does Mr. Mo have any orders?"
The tone of his voice returned to calm after the outburst, taking on a hint of fear.
"Very well, it looks like Mr. Mo's comment that you're a smart man wasn't an elevation." The person on the other end of the phone seemed satisfied with Adler's response, "Investigate who exactly is behind this and tell us, the rest is out of your hands."
The person on the other end of the line looked like he suddenly remembered something, then chuckled in a low voice, "It doesn't look like you're the one who's screwing up, Adler, that's good, trust us, we can make you rich or lose everything. After all, even if we die, every single thing you've done will be thrown into the sunlight."
Adler looked like something had grabbed him by the throat, his face reddened with suffocation and resignation...
"I, know that..."
"That's good, don't think that just because you've been in the sunlight for a long time that you'll always be there, if anything, we are the Zubat of the darkness, then you are the Rattata of the sewers. although you can walk in the sunlight, you reek of disgust. Still rejected by most so-called justice and righteousness."
"Right, one more thing." The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have gotten interested, "I still hate hypocrites like you as always.Adler, hahaha!"
Click-
The other party hung up the phone.
Adler's face was cloudy, half a moment later, he sighed softly, then got out of the car. In the corner of the backseat that he couldn't see, a wiretap was silently staying there, silently recording everything.
And not far away in the woods, with earphones on their ears Kaylor and Aren listened to all this, looked at each other, both saw the shock on the other's face.
[Professor Rope is god!]
