Chapter 92
"So who exactly is he?"
Chapter 92 "So who exactly is he?"
"Young Master Stealer!? This Giant Needle Bee Young Master Stealer level!? One needle could kill me, the viewer watching this!"
"This is the Rockets' leader?! That's intimidating! How can he be so awesome?!"
"Suddenly I understand why the Rockets have become so successful—their leadership charisma, their composure and confidence, their commanding presence—it's a pity—"
"This character design is really good, it's incredibly imposing. Even I, watching the live stream, was sweating bullets."
"Enough said, Mr. Salty Fish! Buying three bottles of soda from the vending machine triggers a hidden door? What kind of insane, bizarre design is this? Nobody would know unless you told me!!!"
"More than the game, I'm worried about Mr. Salty's personal safety. According to unreliable sources, the Rockets leader is still at large. So who exactly is he?"
"I'm snapping out of it."
Bai Zhou's voice broke the silence on the communication channel.
He manipulated Xiaobai to walk to the leather sofa where Sakaki had just sat.
"Come here for a moment, everyone."
"Teacher Salty Fish—"
The crimson voice was hesitant.
"Is it really okay for him to just appear like this?"
Clearly, the impact of Giovanni far exceeded that of the game itself.
"Hmph, when the time comes and they suffer the consequences, it'll be their own fault—"
Although Bilan was sharp-tongued, her words couldn't hide her worry.
"Alright, it's no big deal."
Bai Zhou soothed him in a relaxed tone, then guided Xiao Bai to carefully explore the gaps between the sofa cushions.
"Come quick, there's something good here."
Suppressing their doubts, Crimson and Azure controlled their characters to approach Little White.
After searching for a while, Xiaobai pulled out a strangely shaped telescope device from deep inside the folds between the sofa back and cushions!
"Little White, Little Red, and Little Blue have obtained the Silph Observation Mirror!"
"Little White, Little Red, and Little Blue put the Silph observation mirror into the important prop pocket."
"The Siluf Observatory: a cutting-edge technological product, secretly developed by the Siluf Corporation, capable of observing specific energy spectra and non-material forms that cannot be captured by conventional optical methods, with amazing effects."
"The Siluff observation mirror? An important tool?"
Chi Hong opened her backpack, looking at the vaguely described item with a puzzled expression.
"What's the use of this thing?"
"idiot!"
Azure said something as usual, but then she herself fell into thought.
"Ladytown—Pokémon Tower—That ghost! Ah!"
She suddenly remembered something, and her voice rose sharply, filled with a strong sense of foreboding.
"Wait! This thing isn't for—no way, it shouldn't have anything to do with ghosts—it must be!"
"As expected of Lord Xiao Lan, he guessed the key point right away."
Bai Zhou's voice was full of admiration and undisguised laughter.
"That's right, this is the key to uncovering the ghost in the Pokémon Tower, and it's also the key to getting to the top of the Pokémon Tower."
"Ah—no—"
Amidst the continuous, resentful muttering in the background of Azure.
The three of them safely returned to the still-noisy first floor of the arcade through the secret passage.
The handsome researcher and NPC Xiao Lan, who had been watching the entrance, immediately came forward.
"Handsome Researcher: How did it go? Did you encounter any danger in there? Were you injured?"
Bai Zhou, controlling Xiao Bai, shared key evidence such as the captured images of Mewtwo and accompanying experimental reports with the past through the wireless transmission function of the encyclopedia.
"Handsome researcher: Is this a live genetic experiment? These lunatics!"
"Handsome Researcher: Thanks to you guys, with enough evidence, the league will soon raze this Rockets base."
"Handsome Researcher: By the way, this is the reward I promised you. I found it by chance deep in the mole burrow. I hope it will be of some help to you."
"Little White, Little Red, and Little Blue obtained the secret amber from the handsome researcher!"
"Little White, Little Red, and Little Blue put the secret amber into their important item pocket."
"Stone?"
Azure looked at the piece of yellowish-brown, crystalline amber in her backpack, which seemed to contain the outline of some kind of creature inside, her tone filled with obvious dissatisfaction and disappointment.
"You risked your life every time you went through that ordeal, and you're trying to fob us off with a broken rock? That's incredibly stingy!"
"Secret Amber—?"
Crimson stared at the amber, his brow furrowed, as if trying to recall something.
Suddenly, he slammed his hand on his palm and said:
"Ah! I remember now! It's a pterosaur!"
"What?"
Azure's voice instantly rose in pitch, and her eyes, fixed on the mysterious amber, suddenly lit up.
"Is this a fossil pterosaur?"
Her shout sparked a barrage of question marks in the live chat.
"You're saying this rock is the fossilized pterosaur from the Dark Grey City Museum?"
"Crimson Legend himself confirmed it! Looks like it's definitely true! But how does a rock turn into a living Pokémon?"
"Forgot what happened earlier? Teacher Salty Fish and Qishu mentioned fossil resurrection technology in their live stream! The Crimson Lotus Island Research Institute!"
"The secret amber that can revive a fossilized pterosaur? This reward is too precious."
"Question: The handsome researcher said he found it in a gopher burrow! Is it possible to actually dig up a gopher burrow? Waiting for an answer, urgent!"
Just as the comments section was filled with discussion.
The handsome researcher and NPC Xiao Lan had already left the arcade with the copied evidence data, looking rather hurried.
He must have gone to report to the league's higher-ups.
Watching the two figures disappear through the doorway, Bai Zhou cleared his throat and said:
"Alright, we've got our payment, and someone's cleaned up Team Rocket's mess—it's time to head back to the Pokémon Tower."
He controlled Xiaobai to turn around and look at the dazzling neon lights of Rainbow City outside the arcade, but then changed the subject.
"But before that, let's grab a badge on the way. The gym leader of Celadon City is Ms. Rika, a princess who loves nature!"
The three quickly arrived at the Rainbow Gym.
This dojo is quite different from the surrounding high-rise buildings; it is itself a huge ecological garden.
The exterior walls are covered in lush vegetation, with vines twining and flowers adorning the walls; even the entrance is designed as an archway entwined with ivy.
It exudes a rich natural aroma.
As you enter the pavilion, sunlight streams through the simulated canopy, where all sorts of exotic flowers and plants vie for attention.
Even more eye-catching was the sight of many female trainers dressed in various fresh dresses, playing and training with their Grass-type Pokémon among the flowers, their voices melodious and full of vitality.
Bai Zhou was about to send out Crimson, but something had triggered Azure.
"It's my turn now!"
With a sharp cry, she controlled Little Blue to charge aggressively into the "flower bushes".
"Hey! Wait a minute! Little Blue! Leave me a few!"
Upon seeing this, Crimson immediately panicked.
Even in battle, someone else tries to steal his kill, so he summons his companions to swarm him.
Bai Zhou was enjoying the leisurely time, watching the two of them "destroying flowers and breaking grass" in the sea of flowers, while slowly walking through the colorful flower path towards the elegant Japanese-style pavilion in the center of the ecological park.
In the pavilion, a woman dressed in an elegant kimono, with a gentle and graceful demeanor, is kneeling and sipping tea.
She lowered her eyes to look at the tea leaves floating in the cup, as if shutting herself out from the surrounding noise.
"Rika: The sunshine in Gui'an today is just the right amount of gentleness, it's so relaxing."
"Rika: Ah—sorry, I was a little distracted just now. Welcome, challenger."
"Rika: My name is Rika. I am the Gym Leader of the Rainbow Dojo and also a practitioner of flower arrangement—please be careful!"
