Chapter 46: Caverns
The paths leading deeper and the caverns in the mountain had split up in different directions.
Some had went to another direction while some had met up again at one point, the light was brighter in areas that were more out in the open and it was pitch black once there had been places that had been much deeper into the mountain unless there had been some form of light to illuminate the way.
There was a single person walking among the darkness followed by a larger figure and there was suddenly a strange movement from their belt.
The Pokéball on his waste had been loosened from their waste and fell down towards the ground but then had stopped in the air and had prevented any noise from spreading in the surroundings.
The person that was walking around had not noticed they had lost one of them and walked through the cavern then passed a small split area in the cavern wall that had a large piece of rock by it.
Once they had stepped past it a little, they felt something hard hit the back of their leg which had caused them to drop to their knees. "Ah.."
Just as the Pokéball had floated up a little, it opened up and returned the Pokémon into it.
The person had been hit once again from behind once they were within reach of Kimi who was smaller than them.
She dragged their body and restrained them after removing their belongings then walked deeper into the cavern. 'So far so good.'
As she was sensing around with the use of her aura, Kimi had sensed a strange aura nearby that did not quite match its shape. 'Hmm? How interesting.'
It was not just one of them that she sensed that were similar and were spread out around different parts of the cavern. 'They really used such a method.. it seems that they really slacked on investigating who they have hired or they just simply do not care.'
The next person that Kimi encountered further down was wandering back and forth, their appearance was difficult to distinguish and they had a single Pokémon out just like the others.
Kimi had already dealt with a couple of others using the same method to catch them off guard and to return their Pokémon to their Pokéballs, the darkness only helped to aid her in concealing herself and catching the enemies off guard to allow her plan to work against them.
A lot of the people that Kimi had met so far would only be grunts or lower ranked members in any kind of organisation that dealt with mercenaries and bounties.
The way they had been easily dispatched by Kimi was proof that they were lacking in higher capabilities.
If any person had ever encountered a psychic Pokémon before then they would have prepared a way to keep their Pokéballs safe from being taken away.
The belt on the body of Kimi that she had worn to carry her six Pokéballs had a locking mechanism in place to secure them in place and could only be opened by her who knew how it could be unlocked correctly.
If anyone else tried to pull it out of place or recklessly opened it then it would not move from her belt that was secured on her body in the same way.
A more experienced trainer in any profession would eventually learn to prepare for all kinds of situations and encounters but those Kimi had met seemed to not have used their own funds to better protect themselves on their missions.
They had lacked any kinds of protective clothing within the caverns and any useful tools they would need in case there was a sudden cave in which had made Kimi look down on them greatly.
It did not loosen her vigilance towards them but it did let her get a clearer view of what kind of people were behind the current events that were happening within Mount Moon. 'Cheap and lower quality mercenaries that are willing to take on dirty jobs for low pay. Judging from the explosions that are happening, they are recklessly using small explosives to clear a path and to loosen the tougher rocks.
This could only be achieved if they had people watching the outside entrances from outside and had contact with those onside. If they make too much noise and draw too much attention then they can flee in time. From how those before had talked, other captives had been brought to be contained until they were finished or were working away mining..'
Kimi may have been brought to where the mining and the explosions was taking place further within but to do so, she would have to be carried there without any weapons or backup.
She would then be stuck with fewer options and would he stuck mining for them until she found a way out or to turn the tables on them.
Rather than going with that option, Kimi had chosen to take out those that were protecting the main area where they were working from one by one to weaken their forces.
The same thing happened to the person that had met her next as their Pokéball was robbed and the Pokémon was returned to its place.
Kimi appeared as she had before to catch them off guard before landing a quick force palm which had been followed by another one for to make sure it was enough to do the job but it did not just end there.
Her hand reached into her pocket that had something she had stored so that she could reach it more efficiently and quickly.
Once it had been removed, it had been pushed against the body of the person.
