my pokemon player.

Harson looked at the ground blankly. Before he could think about why the Poké Ball disappeared, he heard Connor next to him say:
"My Poké Ball disappeared too!"

"what?!"

Harson and the others immediately looked at the table, and sure enough, they didn't see Connor's Poké Ball.

"What's going on? No one has touched this Poké Ball!" Kro's face was clouded with gloom.

They were all focused on Harson's Poké Ball and didn't notice how Connor's Poké Ball disappeared.

Morgan looked up at Connor and asked, "Captain Connor, did you see that?"

Connor nodded and said, "I saw with my own eyes that the Poké Ball turned into a red light and disappeared in an instant."

"Turn into red light? How is that possible!" Kro said in surprise. He couldn't understand how a real object could turn into light.

Morgan said in a deep voice: "Nothing is impossible. Before this, can you believe that the Poké Ball can be locked remotely?"

After hearing this, Kro didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he could only grit his teeth and say:
"Ryan! He's been plotting against us since the beginning!!"

"There's no need to emphasize this kind of thing that you and I both know." Morgan said with a serious expression.

"Since Connor and Harson's Poké Balls disappeared, the other Poké Balls will most likely disappear as well."

"I guess Ryan has tampered with the Poké Ball. As long as we intend to destroy the Poké Ball, all the Poké Balls in Guanhai City will disappear."

"In this way, our combat power will be greatly weakened. After all, only top-level combat forces can obtain Poké Balls at this stage."

With every word Morgan said, Kro's expression became uglier.

Poké Balls are the business of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, so if there is a problem with the Poké Balls, he, as the president of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, must take responsibility.

Even if the Chamber of Commerce defeats Ryan, his future will not be easy.

Morgan saw the change in Kro's expression and then changed the subject:
"Fortunately, we haven't promoted the sale of Poké Balls on a large scale, so most of the Guardians are still able to fight."

"And our top fighters may not have developed the habit of using Poké Balls yet, and won't put all their monsters in Poké Balls."

"Isn't that right, Captain Connor? I remember you don't like Blastoise staying in the ball."

Connor said calmly, "Yes, on the one hand it's because Blastoise is used to freedom and is not used to staying in the Poké Ball all the time, and on the other hand it's because I want to develop a tacit understanding with Blastoise."

"If the metal monster wasn't too conspicuous, I wouldn't want to put it in the ball."

"But this is just my personal opinion. Most people still prefer to use the convenient Poké Ball, so we have to prepare for the worst."

Morgan shook his head helplessly after listening to Connor's blunt words.

What he said just now was to help Kro reduce his responsibility. Otherwise, with Kro's temperament, once he was sure that he would be liquidated after the war, he would most likely turn to Ryan. This guy could do anything.

However, Connor didn't seem to understand what he meant, and the scene became awkward for a moment.

Morgan was about to continue to smooth things over when Crowe said in a low voice:
"Captain Connor is right. We can no longer rely on luck. We must send people to count the current combat effectiveness of the top combat forces."

"In addition, Poké Balls are the business of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce. As the president of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

"If we win this war, I will take the corresponding responsibilities and leave it to the Council to deal with."

"If we lose, even if I want to take responsibility, it depends on whether Ryan will spare my life."

At this point, Kro suddenly smiled and said, "I think he should spare my life. After all, I am helping him to occupy Guanhai City."

"Kro, this is not your responsibility alone."

Morgan knew that Crowe was making fun of himself, and he wanted to comfort him, but was interrupted by Crowe.

"Okay, old man, I've been through a lot, I don't need your comfort."

"Don't think I don't understand what you just said. I can tell you clearly that my life and property are all tied to the Chamber of Commerce. I will never betray it. Don't underestimate me!"

Facing Kro's determined gaze, Connor also smiled:

"Very good, you are worthy of being my opponent."

Hearing this, Kro said unhappily: "It's already this time, stop saying these polite words."

"Our current opponent is Ryan, let's quickly think about how to deal with his attack!"

Morgan thought for a moment and said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, Ryan will soon be at the gates of the city. There is no time to convene a council meeting, so we will issue the order."

"Captain Connor, you must immediately send someone to close the city gates, blow the warning horn, and notify Captain Mello to gather all the guards in the city and prepare for battle."

"Yes, sir!" Connor leaned forward and accepted the order.

Morgan then said to Harson, "Captain Harson, go and count the number of monsters that can still fight in the captain and the worship hall. By the way, ask the worshipers to come to the headquarters so that they can support the battlefield at any time."

Halson received the order and said, "Yes, sir!"

"Vice President Kro, do you have anything to add?" Morgan turned to Kro and asked.

Kro said, "Order the noble district to be sealed off, and then requisition their magical beasts."

When Connor heard the order, he was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Morgan.

When he saw Morgan nod, he accepted the order: "I understand!"

After that, Connor turned and left with Harson.

After the two left, Kro said to Morgan with admiration in his eyes:
"The team leader trained by your Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce is indeed good. He has both strength and potential, and is also quite obedient. No wonder you want him to replace Melo."

Morgan glanced at Crowe and said, "What? It's not enough to poach Mello, you want to poach Connor too?"

Kro sneered, "Oh, I can't even protect myself, how can I have the energy to poach your people."

"I just think it's a bit of a pity. If we had given Connor more time to gradually reform the Guard, we wouldn't have to be so busy as we are now."

Morgan smiled bitterly and said, "Alas, who could have thought that Ryan would rise so quickly and be so bold."

"Are the nobles right? This world is destined to be ruled by them?"

Kro said with disdain: "You believe this kind of deception to the common people? Have you ever been to the Kingdom of Flame in the north? There, the church has the final say."

"By the way, speaking of nobles, haven't you always advocated getting along with nobles in harmony? Why didn't you oppose my order this time?"

Morgan said indifferently: "I just want to use their reputation to consolidate the Shang Hu Hui's rule over Guanhai City. Don't tell me you can't see it."

"After all, we merchants and nobles are two different groups. The nobles have never taken us seriously and may betray us at any time."

"Your order can not only prevent them from betraying us, but also increase our combat power. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Why should I object?"

Upon hearing this, Kro smiled and said, "Hahahaha, it turns out that you, old fellow, are the one who understands me the best!"

"I have to thank Ryan for giving us a chance to fight side by side."

"The noble coalition didn't defeat us last time, so Ryan, that little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, has no chance of occupying Guanhai City!"

Crowe said as he stood up.

"I'm going to ask the directors below to cooperate with the escort team. Please also remind the directors of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce."

"It's fine if they do those petty things normally, I'm too lazy to pursue them, but if anyone dares to get involved during the war, I'll chop off their claws!"

Morgan said gently, "Don't worry, they don't have the guts." "That's better!"

Kro snorted coldly and then walked out.

Morgan looked at Kro's back, a hidden light flashing in his eyes.

"Woo~~"

At this moment, the sound of a horn outside interrupted his thoughts.

Morgan sighed and muttered to himself:

"Forget it, forget it. Everyone has things they cannot give up. I will not give up the Shang Hu Association, and you will not give up your family."

"I just hope you can keep your promise and protect Shang Hu Hui until the last moment."
-

"Woo~~"

Kro listened to the sound of the horn beside his ear and quickened his pace again.

He came to his study and met Director Locke who was waiting there.

Without waiting for Director Locke to greet him, Kro said anxiously:
"Go find Andy immediately and ask him to gather his trusted followers and be ready to surrender to Ryan at any time."

When Locke heard this, he didn't react for a while:

"What did you say?"

Kro frowned and said, "Isn't what I said clear enough? Hasn't that kid wanted to use Ryan's power to seize the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce?"

"I'll give him a chance this time. Whether he can succeed depends on his luck."

By this time, Locke had calmed down and understood Kroll's intention.

"I know what to do, then you..."

Kro waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about me. As long as I stay in the Chamber of Commerce, the old man will not interfere. This is his bottom line."

"Besides, I have put a lot of effort into the Chamber of Commerce, and I will not give it up easily."

Listening to Kro's words that sounded like he was entrusting his son to his care, Locke's face showed hesitation and sadness.

Although Kro's tone sounded relaxed, the fact that he could use this method to preserve his family heritage was enough to show that the possibility of winning this war was slim.

And Kroll's judgment has always been accurate, so Locke appears hesitant.

Seeing this, Kro smiled and said, "When did you become so fussy? This is not in line with the style of our Yaojin Chamber of Commerce at all."

"Don't worry, I'm just making preparations. The Shanghu Association may not lose to Ryan. Then you may have to stand up and take the blame for me and Andy."

Hearing this, Locke said firmly: "I would rather accept the punishment!"

Looking at the sincere expression on Locke's face, Kro's smile became even brighter:

"Honestly, although you are smart, you are not suitable to be a businessman."

"If Andy really succeeds, you shouldn't stay to help him. Go find Ryan."

Seeing that Locke wanted to speak, Kro immediately ended the topic:
"Okay, time is urgent, go and execute the order!"

".Yes, sir!"
-

"Woo~~"

The deep sound of the horn continued to echo in Guanhai City, attracting countless people to stop and listen, including the most powerful worshiper - "Tyrant" Tailt.

"Warning horn? Is someone invading Guanhai City again?"

"Huh? Why did I say the word 'again'?"

"Maybe it's because I just heard the horn not long ago. The opponent that time was particularly strong."

Tailt asked and answered himself, then took out the goggles from his arms and put them on his face.

"I guess the enemy this time is still the man who subdued Dragonite."

"What? You ask me how I know?"

"The answer is simple, because my Poké Ball disappeared, with my Gorilla inside."

"President Morgan once said that the Poké Ball was sold to us by the man who captured Dragonite, so the enemy this time can only be him."

"I hope that man can return the King Kong Ape to me, and I also hope that he will stop asking weird questions."

Telt patted the giant beast beside him and said, "Fortunately, I didn't put you in the ball, otherwise I wouldn't be able to participate in this war."

"Let's go, Bangilas."

"Yahoo!"

In addition to Tailt, several other worshippers also heard the sound of the horn.

Some of them had shining eyes, calculating how many gold coins they could earn from this appearance.

Some looked at the chaotic and disorderly slums with extremely complicated expressions, not knowing whether they should continue to obey the orders of the Chamber of Commerce.

More worshippers chose to go directly to the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. They wanted to ask the two presidents why their Poké Balls disappeared for no reason!

Compared to the priests who had different thoughts, the guards carried out the orders of the two presidents without hesitation.

Captain Mello, who was looking for his Poké Ball everywhere, learned the situation from Connor. He first scolded Ryan, then called the squad leaders with an angry face and conveyed the orders of the two presidents.

Just as Connor said, since Poké Balls are quite precious, the squad leaders also put their main monsters into the balls.

Now that all their main monsters have disappeared and their combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened, they can only curse Ryan with gritted teeth and vow to get their monsters back.

They hurriedly gathered their troops and gave strict orders to the guards.

Looking at the frustrated squad leaders in front of him, Yuye Kuangdao curled his lips.

These squad leaders only know how to clamor. They can't even boost morale. It's a wonder we can win this war!

I just hope they can hold on a little longer and not be easily defeated by other players, so that I, as an undercover agent, can play a role.

"Captain Barry, there are many guards with Poké Balls in your team, and their combat effectiveness has been weakened a lot."

"Therefore, I will not assign you any combat missions for the time being. You will stay at the headquarters and protect the safety of the president."

Mello said to Barry on the stage, Connor frowned, but finally didn't say much.

When Yuye Kuangdao heard that Mello had given them the task of protecting the headquarters, he knew that this guy still did not forget to suppress Connor at this time.

This prevented their Team 17, whose potential was no less than that of Team 1, from going to the front line and making contributions in this war.

However, Melo's move was exactly what he wanted, and Yuye Kuangdao's mouth corners unconsciously raised:
"I was just worried that I wouldn't have the chance to make a contribution, but I didn't expect this idiot to bring the credit to me."

"Asking us to protect the two guild leaders is no different than asking Inspector Mongoose to protect Rattata!"

"I will definitely take the credit for this war activity!" (End of this chapter)
