Master Craftsman of the Elven World

Chapter 551: Just a Pokémon Trainer Passing By, Remember That!

The handsome guy codenamed Shield immediately began searching his mind for this information, and then suddenly got the result!
Not long ago, a report from the United Tower in the Unova region claimed that an international police officer recruited from society possessed considerable strength, but apart from his codename, everything else about him remained a mystery, and he was only allowed to communicate during contact.
Now, the mystery has been solved!
At the same time, Guangtai's words also awakened the handsome man's long-forgotten memories.

"So that's how it is with the Special Affairs Agency, UB Countermeasures Headquarters. The higher-ups claimed that [Shield] would not participate in any routine activities of the International Police, nor would it cooperate with any deployments or work of the International Police. That's why!"

"So, you already know about a certain void and the 'visitors' from another world! But how do you know that I used to work in this department?"

The handsome guy was so scared he was sweating profusely.

Thankfully, the other person was one of our own. At least with a patrolman with them, they're definitely not bad people!
Guangtai: "I'm sorry, this has stirred up some sad memories for you. By the way, how is the [Great Lord] doing now?"

After figuring out the situation, the handsome man paused for a moment when Guangtai asked him a question. He knew who Guangtai was referring to.
“Theoretically speaking, before confirming her identity…” The handsome man saw the Interpol badge that Guangtai had taken out and immediately scratched his head awkwardly: “Alright! Nice to meet you, Lord [Shield]! But, regarding the [Great Lord], even if it’s confirmed, I don’t know her current situation.”

"It seems she's conducting investigations and going undercover in other areas, but why are you asking her?"

Hikari: "Well, many years have passed since [Da-kun] traveled through time from the [Ultimate Hole]. Over these years, she has trained hard and completed missions, so her promotion speed is very fast. Not long ago, she became the head of the UB Countermeasures Department, which is my nominal superior."

Handsome guy: "Is that so? But I've already been transferred from that department. Hmm, you even know about her past."

Lightmoy: "Of course, because there's also a Lila in this world. You should have already found out about this after your investigation, right? The tower that the Great Lord guards is the Battle Tower in the Battle Frontier, and Lila is called the Battle Tower Great Lord. That's why you gave her the same code name, isn't it?"

The handsome man waved his hands repeatedly, his expression one of utter astonishment, even bordering on exaggerated shock: "You know far too much! Did your superiors grant you such high investigative authority?! How is that possible?!"

Guangtai smiled: "The source of the information may not be the International Police. Just assume I have precognition or that I just happened to know it."

"We're not in the Alola region right now, so we don't have to face the threat of Ultra Beasts. Let's discuss the current situation."

Ultra Beasts were originally unknown life forms. The International Police gave them a code name and called them that, which came from Dr. Moen's research.

The reason the higher-ups hold an extermination stance towards Ultra Beasts (UBs) is because, several years ago, during an operation, an Ultra Beast did indeed kill an important human. From the perspective of the international police, these otherworldly monsters are far more ferocious and uncontrollable than Pokémon!
The handsome man collected his chaotic thoughts and coughed lightly twice.

However, He Fu looked at Guang Tai with a surprised expression:

"Hey! You didn't tell me you were an international police officer! So you're a high-ranking detective with a [codename]?"

Guangtai shrugged: "Because nobody goes around saying they're an international police officer, except for handsome gentleman."

"Besides, I was specially recruited. My main job is to handle matters in another world, not to investigate and arrest criminals. For me, it's like receiving a white-collar salary, and..."

"The salaries of international police officers are really high, higher than I imagined."

Guangtai meant what she said to Hefu seriously, and Hefu immediately understood and fell into thought.

Hmm, what's the Ranger Alliance's salary system again? Once you become the chief, you don't have to worry about money! But most of the rangers are the kind who work out of passion.

"The reason the Interpol can recruit champion trainers is because they pay extremely high salaries! If Professor Shinhara wants to recruit these kinds of unofficial top-tier trainers, shouldn't he also raise the salary cap and increase wages?"

Lightmoy chuckled: "You need a salary to better protect the world! Of course, Rangers are a group of people with ideals. Even if faced with villainous organizations, such as the high-ranking positions and generous salaries of Team Rocket, you will definitely not waver in the slightest."

"This is a perfect example of how ideals triumph over reality! I admire it very much."

"The world still needs kind ideals."

Handsome guy: "Well, I also really admire the people in the Ranger Alliance. They appear in various regions, support the work of each alliance, and protect the local natural environment. They often have to put themselves in dangerous situations and fight against some illegal organizations! Every battle is a life-or-death struggle, which is why I admire them!"

He Fu's expression softened immediately upon receiving the praise: "Oh! You flatter me! I was so sorry to have thought you were a suspicious person just now, but now it seems you really are a very upright international police officer!"

"I am He Fu! The chief ranger of the Ranger Alliance!"

Handsome guy: "Nice to meet you, your Beyblade is really powerful! It's great that you understand I'm not a suspicious person. Here's my ID."

After showing his identification to the two of them, he began to explain why he was there, looking at Guangtai with a curious and inquisitive gaze:

"Then, [Shield], I'll call you that. But you must have a more impressive name."

Guangtai: "Aren't code names used for rendezvous? If someone hears them, it might be bad. I'd better use my real name. After all, my real name might have some recognition and deterrent effect."

"My name is Lightmoss, which is indeed light and moss, and I am a moss with a very strong vitality."

Handsome man: "Yes, Your Excellency Guangtai."

"First of all, I want to make one thing clear to you and Chief He Fu: I am indeed tracking certain people, and there are indeed two of them!"

The handsome guy held up a finger: "A secret organization called Team Galactic suddenly appeared in the Sinnoh region, and during its activities, it recorded something like, 'It only makes sense if something is controlled by Team Galactic.'"

"They appeared in some cities and showed considerable interest in Pokémon. After causing quite a commotion, they were stopped and driven away by local trainers and the Sinnoh Champion. Although attempts were made to arrest them, unfortunately, no useful information was obtained."

"Some claim that the Galactic Team has a significant connection with the Galactic Foundation, and that its subsidiaries, the Cosmic Energy Development Corporation and the Galactic Electric Company, are also related to the secret organization, the Galactic Team. However, according to the investigation conducted by local Officer Jenny and the police, they have found absolutely no evidence to convict them."

"However, the investigation yielded results. While these two groups temporarily ceased their activities, the Galactic Team's covert operations also seemed to have diminished. Based on my keen intuition as an international police officer, I can tell that they are undoubtedly deeply connected!"

Lightmoy: "The Galactic Consortium is investing in and constructing buildings all over Sinnoh. Meanwhile, Galactic Electric Company sells electrical appliances and home equipment, digital audio-visual electronics, office products, aerospace equipment and systems for manufacturing and logistics, batteries and electronic components for mobile and social infrastructure, etc."

"The Cosmic Energy Development Project aims to develop cosmic energy for all humanity. However, this region doesn't have any super-large rocket launch centers or anything like that. If we want to develop cosmic energy, we should go to the Hoenn region."

The handsome guy said, "The bigger the investment, the more likely it is to hide secrets. After extensive investigation and long-term surveillance, I finally confirmed one thing: they are systematically collecting various Pokémon."

"Their purpose may be just as you said, to explore the energy secrets of [evolution], but I'm not quite sure about that."

"Zhuqing City is home to one of the world's leading global trade centers, which is why the Galaxy Consortium and its subsidiaries are frequently seen here. This is why there are rumors about the Galaxy Team's presence here, and the two suspicious individuals recently spotted are the ones who are the source of this information."

"The latest news is that the Galactic Team is extremely dissatisfied with the recent restrictions on their activities, and because of this, they plan to rob, no, kidnap, a certain important figure!"

"According to the timeline, it is said that Dr. Yamanashi and his assistant, Minghui, will be coming to Zhuqing City soon to handle important matters. Therefore, we have learned that the Galactic Team seems to be planning to do something evil to Dr. Yamanashi. As an international police officer, I am investigating this matter!"

"However, so far we haven't seen anyone suspicious, except for you and Chief He Fu. Of course, that's a misunderstanding!" The handsome man quickly explained, afraid of being attacked by He Fu's spinning top again.

Guangtai knew that the handsome guy was actually at this time.
"I see. When Xiaoguang returned from the Black Gold Gate, the handsome guy had just finished his investigation. Although I don't know how long he investigated, there's something unsettling. He had just told Xiaoguang that there were no suspicious adults here when Xiaoguang turned around and ran into Dr. Yamanashi and Meihui, who had been robbed, at the entrance of Zhuqing City."

I really don't know how Xiaoguang felt at that time.

It was around this time that the impression that handsome men are unreliable began to emerge.
Of course, the handsome guy probably gathered all the information he needed after disguising himself. If the person he was investigating was a low-ranking soldier, he might not know anything at all.

In the storyline, inside the Galaxy Pathé building, the handsome guy also said, "The Galaxy Team members are all idiots, and no matter how much I investigate, I can't figure out what they're plotting."

However, there might be a mole within Team Galactic. Although it wasn't shown in the story, the only organization that has ever had a mole is Team Plasma. In Black and White 2, a member of Team White Plasma goes to Team Black to act as an informant in order to help the protagonist.

In the comics, the soldiers of Team Galactic seem to lack independent thought. Most of them appear to have been brainwashed, like clones. They can even implant their minds into one of them through superpowers, making them a team that is a combination of "technology and charlatans".

"It seems you've gathered some information. How should I put it? It's true that you knew Team Galactic would be in this area, but you can't give up the investigation just because you haven't seen anyone suspicious, can you?"

"Well, the Galaxy's watermelon heads are pretty easy to spot, right? And you're right about one thing."

"They might indeed kidnap Dr. Yamanashi. He's not coming to Zhuqing City, but to Watervein City for a science conference."

"However, Dr. Yamanashi doesn't plan to go out now, so it's likely that only his assistant will attend the meeting."

Guangtai's words surprised the handsome man, who then showed some admiration: "This is information I hadn't investigated. As an international police officer, you also have such superb investigative skills!"

He Fu: "Who knows? But he's a strange guy who knows all sorts of legends and stories and can make relatively accurate guesses about certain things, almost like a prophecy."

“But we’re on a mission right now,” she said, rubbing her temples. “Now that you mention it, this city doesn’t seem very safe.”

"These weird organizations seem to be everywhere, and they're really annoying."

Lightmoss: "Human desires are like a boulder rolling down a mountain. But interestingly, the mastermind behind Team Galactic is someone who is working to obtain a world without desires."

This trip to Sinnoh was just a coincidence. Lightmoy felt that even if she wanted to communicate properly with Sun, that would have to wait until after he was captured by Giratina and taken to the Destroyed World.

Since Akari will be alone anyway, we might as well hand over the abandoned workshop to him to manage. Maybe we can even mess with Dr. Gero when the movie is released later.

Hefu's Mk Eagle suddenly turned its head, staring in a certain direction as if it had spotted prey, which made Hefu's gaze slightly sharpen:
"Oh dear, I just said this place wasn't safe, and this has already happened. There are so many suspicious people around today!"

"Suspicious person!" Upon hearing these words, the handsome guy's first reaction was to hide to avoid being discovered, but the other party was even faster!

In the field of vision of the moss, two watermelon-headed minions suddenly spawned at the end of the road.

And it really did appear as promised!

"Yes, although the activities have been toned down, since Dr. Yamanashi always attends a certain meeting, they will definitely be waiting for Dr. Yamanashi here. And the handsome guy will definitely be in Zhuqing City because of the clues he is investigating."

The root of the problem lies not in whether other events change, but in whether a certain meeting in Watervein City will proceed as scheduled.

However, Dr. Yamanashi is not out handling any business right now, so...
He Fu: "Those two people's outfits are really unique. How should I put it? It's not that they're ugly, it's just a bit..."

Handsome guy: "Oh! Suspicious individuals, they're from Team Galactic!"

Hikari: "Regarding the history of Team Galactic. It's rather sad that a pioneering organization has become like this."

He Fu and the handsome guy were both curious about what Guang Tai was saying, but they felt that now was not the time to ask too many questions.

Because those two soldiers were running off in a certain direction!
"I need to catch up with them! It's 7:20 now!"

The handsome man immediately nodded to the two of them: "You seem to be on some kind of mission as well, but could you help me out for a bit?"

Guangtai and Hefu exchanged a glance, and Miss Hefu shrugged: "It's no big deal."

"For ordinary rangers, it is very dangerous to confront certain mysterious organizations outside of their usual missions. Rangers must be at least level 8 to carry out such exceptional missions alone, but for the Chief, it is a piece of cake."

"Is something going to happen over there?"

Hikari nodded: "Professor Yamanashi's assistant has arrived, right? Before Hikari comes, let's help Professor Yamanashi's assistant get out of trouble."

"Of course I can't ignore a friend in trouble, and besides, it happened earlier than expected."

He Fu: "The expected time?" Guang Tai: "It shouldn't have happened at this time. It should have happened after Xiao Guang came back."

"However, it's normal for some details to not match up. After all, Team Galactic's activities were suppressed from the beginning because the Sinnoh League was investigating them, so their activity time and timing became a little secretive."

Not to mention that the original "robbery" could escalate into "kidnapping," how could I, as a partner of justice, stand idly by in the face of such a serious and heinous incident!
Handsome guy: "According to the rumors in the investigation, they seem to steal the Pokémon of weak trainers, especially those related to the universe and those that haven't evolved."

Lightmoss: "What they value is not the Pokémon themselves, but the [Pokémon's energy]. They are conducting research to convert the Pokémon's power into new energy sources, with the ultimate goal of creating a [New World]."

"Furthermore, the technology to convert Pokémon's power into energy does exist! It wasn't developed by Team Galactic, but existed 3000 years ago!"

"Do you know about the [Space Teleportation Panel]? There are many places where this machine is installed. It can send people to another area by spatial jump. This device is achieved by creating small wormholes. The technology was developed by Devon Corporation of Hoenn!"

Guangtai didn't continue speaking, but the handsome guy had already realized something!
"The power consumption of the teleportation panel is extremely low! But are you saying that Pokémon's power can be used to create small wormholes?"

Lightmoss: "Do you know Gardevoir? It's said that it has the power to distort space with its psychic abilities and create small black holes. For a long time, it was considered one of the strongest Psychic Pokémon, but that was back then."

"What I mean is, Pokémon can do these kinds of things on their own, even without using life energy. But don't Team Galactic's outfits look a bit like aliens from a science fiction movie?"

"Oh dear, what a pity, I also have a part-time job as a [Defense Force Member]. What an ignorant alien! Doesn't he know that Earth is protected by our valiant defense force?"

"They are investigating ruins and statues in various places, and they are not only coveting [Evolutionary Energy], but also have a strong need for the large amount of electrical energy that exists in reality, all in order to create the [Galaxy Bomb] that can force out legendary Pokémon!"

The handsome man was taken aback:
"What?! You're saying they're making bombs?! But is this source reliable?!"

Lightmoy: "After things are over here, go to the Valley Power Plant and the Dororo Steel Plant immediately. It would be best to bring in international police to provide support and supervision. The local Officers are definitely thinking, 'If nothing happens, then everything is fine,' so we can't rely on them."

"I will inform the Sinnoh Champion about what's going on here. She will definitely come over. Because she's been eyeing someone for a long time."

The person in question is, of course, Chi Ri. Chi Ri himself did not use an alias or disguise himself, but he kept a clean slate with Team Galactic, so much so that even though someone made accusations, Chi Ri remained in a state of "it has nothing to do with me".

The Sinnoh League wouldn't arrest a local tycoon without evidence, especially since he's arguably one of Sinnoh's pillar industries. His electronics are sold both domestically and internationally, and his energy development is progressing smoothly.

As the Galactic Team's grunts themselves say—[The Galactic Team is very rich; skyscrapers can be built in no time!]

Lightmoss: "Team Galactic will be conducting energy recovery work, and they will most likely send out executives or higher. Meanwhile, their leader is investigating the truth in the mythology, attempting to use the power of legendary Pokémon to dominate the Sinnoh region and create a so-called better world."

"Their leader is a mechanical genius."

Hefu: "Huh? Developing energy, cosplaying as aliens, creating a new world, catching Pokémon, and dominating the Sinnoh region—they have more ideas than Team Rocket! They really can't bite off more than they can chew!"

"It's really great to know everything and not be kept in the dark! You'd be amazing as an intelligence agent! And you're a champion trainer, I mean..."

Guangtai: "I know what you're thinking. Even if my identity is exposed, I can still kill them all and hide my identity again, right? That's right, as long as no one discovers me, it's a perfect infiltration."

"Furthermore, although it may seem that the Galactic Team wants everything, that's because their main goal is to 'possess everything they can and discard everything they don't need.' And they collect all the energy only to obtain the ultimate 'energy to create the universe.'"

"After the New Universe Creation Project began, Team Galactic started collecting Pokémon related to the universe and stars."

The handsome guy heard the key words:
"A Champion Trainer?! What?! What's going on?"

Guangtai: "Don't worry about it, it's just an identity!"

At this moment, the three of them, following the two grunts of Team Galactic, finally saw what they had expected.

Wearing a red hat and carrying a yellow backpack, Minghui appeared on the streets of Zhuqing City and was blocked near the northern exit of the city!

"Hey, who are you people?!"

"What's the meaning behind your strange outfits?"

Although Akihiro is also one of the main characters, when Dawn is the main character, he will serve as Professor Yamanashi's assistant, responsible for transporting documents and conducting Pokémon investigations. In terms of combat power, he will be much weaker than Dawn.

However, he gets a little agitated during battles, so much so that Dr. Yamanashi has to calm him down.

According to the current timeline, Minghui is a descendant of Mingyao, and both of them have worked as investigators and doctor's assistants.

Its name, corresponding to Xiao Guang, together means "glory"!
Team member A: "The person carrying the big yellow backpack and research materials is Dr. Yamanashi's assistant!"

Team member B: "That's him! Even though Dr. Yamanashi isn't here, let's take you and the research results with us first."

"Sorry! We're from Team Galactic. Could you come with us? Otherwise, we'll teach you a lesson!"

Guangtai: "Ah, that's quite polite, isn't it? Politeness first, then force, huh?"

At this moment, the two Team Galactic members also noticed the three who had arrived. However, Team Galactic's motto is to do whatever they want, unlike Team Plasma, which has to promote itself during battles.

These guys are completely unrestrained! Even later in Veil City, Minghui complained, "Why are these guys allowed to walk around the streets so brazenly?"

The two soldiers were waiting for Minghui, and it seemed they had been waiting for more than a day. But is it really okay to rob someone so blatantly?

Or.
Guangtai saw another person appear near the two soldiers.

Upon hearing their words, Minghui was instantly enraged: "You want to steal the doctor's research results? That's absolutely unforgivable!"

He pulled out a Poké Ball, and the two minions got angry: "Then we'll have to settle this with violence. You'd better not regret it!"

The three people who followed confirmed the scene:
"It seems that their goal this time is not just robbery, it can be confirmed that it is kidnapping."

"Your Excellency Shield, Miss Chief," the handsome man pleaded with Lightmoy and Crane, "in order to continue the investigation, my current identity cannot be revealed, so..."

“I understand!” He Fu waved her hand. “You want us to help you handle it, right? No problem, this is cooperating with the international police! We are all colleagues in international organizations, so it’s no problem to leave it to us!”

"Moreover, if this city is this dangerous, the handover will be very troublesome! Handsome, you should contact Officer Jenny first. These two people will definitely be arrested, and this place will be investigated as well!"

Guangtai nodded: "That's right, because we also have things they're after! So we have to get rid of them."

The handsome man paused for a moment: "The same thing being targeted, right? You also said you were carrying out a mission?"

Hefu: "Our mission is to deliver the designated Pokémon egg to a specific trainer! That trainer will be arriving from Black Gold City soon!"

"Alright, let's begin the battle! Eliminate any dangers unrelated to the mission!"

He Fu prepared for battle, but Guang Tai gently waved her hand: "Miss He Fu, although you also intend to fight, I think it's better to ensure the prince's safety!"

"Furthermore, I have an idea. After delivering the egg, I'll probably go to Eterna City with that trainer."

It's rare to be back in Sinnoh, and the matter of the Sun might not be something he can solve on his own. This could be a punishment from the Alpaca to the Chrono Dragon, and a trial for Dawn, who is connected to Xiao Zhao.

In any case, the Pillar of Spears will reappear in the world, and the Crimson Sun is the opportunity for it to reappear. However, even so, I intend to make a little effort.

After entrusting the first prince of the Azure Sea to him, he will go to the Forest of a Hundred Generations to give the Rotom to Xiaoguang as well, which may be the opportunity to make Chiri change his mind.

As for why it's essential to restore the Crimson Sun, consider it a token of gratitude for his initial sharing of his mechanical knowledge.

And, there's one more thing.

She originally returned to the capital from Bellagio in Sinnoh, and she even had conversations with Nagae when she was young, so they were childhood friends.

Baidai City is also another hometown of mine.

"After sending Xiaoguang to Baidai City, we will head north and then return to Johto. Before Liekong finishes accumulating power, Liubo has been waiting in Kaji Town for a long time."

"This route is exactly the route that the ancestors of Sinnoh took to Johto."

Having said that, Guangtai strode out of the shadows and walked toward Minghui, who was surrounded.

"Minghui, you seem troubled. Do you need help?"

Minghui blinked, looked at the complete stranger, and felt extremely grateful:

"Ah! Hello! These people suddenly demanded that I hand over my package and encyclopedia, and they want to take me away. I don't know who you are, but can you fight alongside me?"

Hikari: "Of course, that's why I came here. Let's go all out and get things done! Hmm, just think of me as Dr. Yamanashi's reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Minghui's eyes immediately lit up!
"So it's someone Dr. Yamanashi knows! Please, brother!"

The other cadre who appears here, appearing earlier than in the original storyline, is, of course, [name omitted].
"What are you doing? Who are you people? Do you want to rebel against Team Galactic? Or you'd better give up."

A woman with purple hair, styled in a nanny-like hairstyle, and sharp, rather heroic eyes, warily watched the approaching moss.

She shouldn't have been here in the first place.

However, the Galactic Team was being targeted too much, to the point that even high-tech equipment couldn't be easily deployed. In order to obtain important information, they had to take risks. To ensure the success of this kidnapping, they made an exception and came over.

Guangtai's expression was also a little strange; she had been asked this question more than once.

Moreover, Jupiter always says things that make the protagonist want to give up, just like...
"Jupiter, one of the three executives of Team Galactica."

"Stealing someone else's Pokémon is a crime. You always advise others to give up because you've had a similar experience yourself?"

"Speaking of which, the executives of your Galactic Team are all quite skilled at [kidnapping]."

That's right, theoretically speaking, they're even better at it than Team Rocket. They've kidnapped the manager of a bicycle shop, the manager of the Valley Power Plant, and even in the manga, they kidnapped Ayako—their record is well-documented.

Guangtai's words caused Suixing's pupils to contract sharply, then a gloomy, as if enraged expression appeared on his face:

"I'll ask you one more time, who exactly are you?"

Guangtai stretched his muscles and bones.

So, how about a slightly more interesting answer?
"Just a Pokémon Trainer who was passing by!"
