Xu Mu watched Hunter A in the sky, his teeth aching.
For fuck's sake!
What now? Why had another ridiculously powerful-looking villain popped up?
I really don't want to destroy the Secret Realm. Would you believe me?
"Cynthia, step back."
Unsure of the newcomer's strength or background, Xu Mu chose to be cautious.
Underestimate an opponent strategically, but take them seriously in battle. Those were the qualities a capable Trainer needed.

"Absol!"

Absol stepped forward to ask Xu Mu.
He was at the peak of the Elite Four level. He was strong enough to be useful in a fight.
"Keep an eye
