Chapter 91: D- Hidden Mission - Perception Failed?!
Afternoon, June 11
East Edge of the Ilex Forest
There was a looming silence around Kurt’s house.
When Kai approached it, he found the lack of zeal he had heard so much about quite apparent. Nowhere were the shouts of a gruff old man, which he was promised. Nor was there any crowd of Pokemon Trainers waiting for their orders, or about to place one.
The silence had a bitter taste to it of loss and sadness.
Kai beamed at this silence, this sense of loss, sadness, and helplessness. There was an opportunity here for him, which he would love to grasp at the merest hint.
Knock! Knock!
Petyr gently announced their presence.
Kurt’s house had an old Japanese-style touch to it.
The outermost gate had a big sliding door through which Kai could have just barged if he wanted to. But he needed Kurt’s favor, not anger. As he waited for a reply, Kai looked around at the small settlement. The sun was too hot here, and the ground seemed to sizzle, blurring the farther edges of the fields.
The most conspicuous was the presence of the Pokemon, Slowpoke, in a vast number.
