Pokedrone

A fire is burning under the sky as it stands next to a camp.

While waiting for Ralts to prepare their breakfast, Hisoka sat in front of his bag and took a small black box. He then took out the many small parts from within and began to assemble something. A few minutes later, a black drone stood in front of him.

This is a field scout drone that Hisoka paid a lot of money for from Silph Co., the Pokedrone. It is solar-powered and equipped with an infrared camera.

He will first use the Pokedrone to survey the surrounding terrain before implementing his next course. Who knows? He might get lucky and manage to find the trace of Sneasel in the area.

As the drone slowly took off into the sky under the night's cover, Hisoka opened his laptop to sync with the drone. In an instant, a bird's-eye view of the Viridian Forest appeared on the screen.

Finding a specific Pokemon in such a large area is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Modern technology can indeed reduce the difficulty of tracking the Sneasel a little. And with some luck, the mission might just go smoothly this time.

It had been an hour since the Pokedrone departed. Hisoka had uploaded the picture of Sneasel to the built-in computer of the drone. And once the drone manages to capture the figure of Sneasel with its camera, it will notify him on the laptop immediately. Unfortunately, it failed to capture a single trace of Sneasel even after an hour had passed.

However, the main task of the drone this time is to map the surrounding terrain and a few dangerous Pokemon territories. Also, he will try to track the trace of Sneasel among these areas.

The drone detected a troop of Mankey living in the northeastern section led by two Primeape. There is a Nidoran herd in the western section led by a pair of Nidoking and Nidoqueen. The northern areas belonged to the Rhyhorn tribe. Only the rocky mountain area on the southern side is considered safe. Except for some Geodude, there are no dangerous wild Pokemon groups that can pose a threat to their life.

Seeing the feedback from the drones, Hisoka fell into deep thought. He began to think from a different angle. Whether they are humans or Pokemon, all living beings tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This is more prominent in an intelligent Pokemon like Sneasel. It will never expose itself to any dangerous situation with its body currently injured.

The northeastern section belongs to the Mankey tribe, with two Primeape as their leaders. One of its weaknesses is fighting against a Fighting-type Pokemon. Thus, it will never head toward this area with that major drawback hanging on its head.

The second area is the western area belongs to the Nidoking and Nidqueen pair, who pay great attention to their territory. Anyone who dared to trespass their territory will suffer the most painful pain. They are one of the overlords of the Viridian Forest, standing at the top of the food chain. A lone Sneasel without its pack will not provoke those behemoths at random.

The rest are the northern and southern regions. The southern section is the safest, but the terrain is dangerous and lacking in food sources.

Meanwhile, there is a herd of Rhyhorn living in the northern area. And Rhyhorn's brain is very small, giving it a one-track mind. Due to their short legs and heavy body, they are inept at turning and can only run in straight lines. It is too hard for them to pose a threat to the agile Sneasel.

Therefore, the Sneasel that they are currently tracking is likely to be in the southern or northern area of this forest.

"Then let's use the simplest method. Search them one by one!" Hisoka said.

He then controlled the computer to let the drone enter autopilot mode. He would go to the nearest northern area first, and if he didn't find it there, he would go to the southern area next.

...

With the drone in the lead, Hisoka quickly arrived at the Rhyhorn's tribe territory.

"Something seems off."

Hisoka looked around and found that many trees in the surroundings were heavily damaged. He then walked to one of the trees and stroked the scratch mark as he examined it in detail. It left a deep gash on the tree. This should be caused by a Horn Attack from a Rhyhorn. It seems a fight occurred here before as the mark is still new.

"Hisoka, I found something!" Ralts voice sounded in his mind.

With a gesture of her hand, a gray figure suddenly flew out of the thicket next to her.

Boom!

The ground shook as the body fell to the ground heavily in front of their eyes.

"This is the corpse of a Rhyborn!"

Hisoka's eye widened in shock. The dead Rhyhorn's body was full of slash wounds, but they were only superficial injuries in his mind. The most striking thing was the small hole in the middle of its forehead.

It's a one-hit kill.

The slash wounds on its rocky figure had already divulged them to the culprit. It was undoubtedly the Sneasel they had been looking for all this time.

The hardest part of a Rhyhorn's body is its head. It was surprising to him that a Sneasel attack could penetrate the hard exterior of the Rhyhorn in question. The Sneasel may have learned a powerful move prior to this.

After examining the corpse, Hisoka asked Ralts to move back the body to where it was before continuing on their journey. At this moment, his expectation for the Sneasel went up a few notches.
