Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy.

Chapter 420 Infiltrating Silver Company, Meeting Itagaki Head-on!

Adu's words filled Li Xuan with confidence.

This is the confidence that the Kanto Alliance has given him!
With such a solid backing, I'm sure my friends in the Kanto region will be able to do good deeds as they wish.

"Nuan Nuan..." (I...I can't give up yet! No...don't go!)
Warm Pig is still having nightmares.

Upon hearing the other person's words, Li Xuan walked over and sat down on the ground.

He didn't say anything, but simply reached out and rubbed Warm Pig's head, using his aura to soothe the other's emotions.

Warm Pig is still too young. If she has nightmares for a long time, it will have some impact on her physical and mental health.

"Abandon drinking." (Boss, is there anything else to do in the Unova region?)

The abandoned monkey felt that time had passed very quickly. During the time he had followed Li Xuan, he had witnessed many things.

"There's not much left. Let's ask about Naz's situation again when I get up in the morning."

Nazi is still filming a movie, and I've been in contact with her every day during this time, knowing that she's in the prime of her career.

Even Mingyi had to admit that Nazi had a talent for making movies.

In particular, his performance in the "Land of Magic" film series amazed everyone.

Renowned director Wu Tang exclaimed that she was an expert, pointing at Na Tzu and saying, "Although she is not a veteran actress, she is better than one."

Overall, even if they can't reach Karuni's level, they should at least be able to break into the top tier.

"Let's drink." (Okay, I wonder how things are going at the fighting dojo.)
The abandoned monkey paced back and forth, deliberately slowing its steps so as not to wake the sleeping, warm pigs.

"You should go to bed early too. Even though it's a Ghost-type Pokémon, not getting enough sleep will still affect its health."

Li Xuan yawned.

In a few minutes, he will also go to sleep.

"Stop drinking." (Yeah, boss, you should get some rest too.)
After saying that, the abandoned monkey slipped back into its Poké Ball.

……

……

The sun rises and the moon sets.

The next day arrived as usual.

"Warm!" (I feel a continuous surge of energy welling up inside me!)

Warm Pig seemed very excited when she woke up early in the morning.

In just one night, he was able to improve his strength so much.

Previously, if it was said that she was evenly matched with the No. 3 Warm Pig, she lost by a single move, which led to her complete defeat.

Now, my strength is completely enough to suppress the third Warm Pig.

It's not bragging, but even if three No. 3 Warm Pigs came at it together, they wouldn't be a match for it.

Sure enough, this human was definitely not deceiving me!
Pokémon: Tepig

[Attribute: Fire]

【Level: 10】

[Features: Self-sacrifice]

[Moves: Omitted]

In one night, Warm Pig leveled up five levels.

No wonder Warm Pig reacted that way.

Not long ago, reaching level ten also required accumulated training over time, taking about five days to improve one's skill level.

Without a trainer, it's still too difficult for wild Pokémon to quickly improve their strength.

Even with a trainer, without systematic training, progress can only be faster in the early stages. Later on, it becomes increasingly slower.

It might barely evolve into the Flame Martial King, but more likely it will simply be wiped out by the masses.

Not everyone is a master cultivator like Qinglv.

Warm Pig also understands this principle.

The human in front of me is clearly a good trainer.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Li Xuan also woke up and saw Nuan Nuan Pig's excited appearance, clearly knowing that the "Sleeping Arhat Fist" was extremely effective.

"Warm and cozy." (That's right! Now I can easily beat that Woof Woof pig! Let's go, I'm going to prove my strength!)

Two sparks shot out of the snotty pig's nose, and the scattered sparks touched the ground but did not start a fire.

After doing all that, it rushed straight to Pig Number Three, all to seek justice for itself.

"Take it easy."

Li Xuan gave a reminder, then followed behind Nuan Nuan Pig without any intention of interfering.

"Warm and cozy." (I know you'll just have to watch from the sidelines. I'll definitely defeat that warm pig with my own strength!)
At this moment, Warm Pig felt that everything had come back.

……

……

Kanto region, Golden City.

As dawn breaks over the Unova region, Saffron City in the Kanto region is already shrouded in darkness.

Today is Friday. Silver Company recently implemented a 9-to-5 work schedule, which means working from 9 am to 5 pm, five days a week.

At this time, apart from a few security guards, there were almost no Silver Company employees in the company.

Of course, this refers to employees of Silver Company.

It is not some "imposters".

Silver Company, mid-to-senior level.

"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of work have you done? You can't even catch a single Eevee? This is from the city center to the suburbs! Tell me! Did you give up halfway through?!"

Inside what was clearly a research lab, an old man wearing a white lab coat, sporting a receding hairline, and with pink eyebrows, beard, and the hair on the back of his head sticking up, was angrily berating the only Team Rocket member who had returned.

"Dr. Nanbo, that Eevee was too cunning! If I hadn't used 'Escape from the Cicada', I might not have been able to come back to see you!"

The Rockets player was trembling and sounded somewhat apprehensive.

Being surrounded by two giant Pokémon, Machamp and Master Builder, is terrifying just thinking about it!

"Useless bastards! The Rockets didn't keep you around for nothing! Do you even deserve the resources the Rockets give you?!"

Dr. Nanbo's beard trembled with anger. Pointing at the man's nose, he launched into a long tirade: "The Plasma Team from the Unova region next door, although that organization isn't very strong, they still do their jobs conscientiously."

"Don't think about what the Rockets can offer you; it's us, the Rockets, who took you in. So, what you should be thinking about is what you can offer the Rockets!"

Rockets members: "?"

This old man is always either CPUing others or on his way to CPUing others!
He just lost a crippled Eevee, was it really necessary to treat him like this?!

Tread...  

"B...BOSS!"

Dr. Nanbo wanted to say something more, but when he caught sight of the middle-aged man approaching, his sharp gaze unconsciously softened.

"Nanbo, I've said we're a family on the Rockets. How can you treat your subordinates like this after not seeing you for two months?"

The visitor was a middle-aged man with a large belly and a kind face.

Judging by his overly nutritious appearance, he looks like someone of high rank. And that's exactly what he is.

Although he was disguised, this person was none other than Giovanni, the mastermind behind Team Rocket in the Kanto region.

Banmu had a bad feeling today, which is why he came to Silver Company.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived here, I saw Dr. Nanbo verbally abusing his subordinates.

Scenes from online novels he had recently read flashed through Banmu's mind.

Among them are senior executives who frequently beat and scold employees, and the employees endure it silently, only to find that they have a "grandpa"-like trainer living in their minds when they return home.

With the help of the "old man," the employees' Pokémon battle skills improved rapidly, and they would occasionally concoct items such as "miracle candies," "experience candies," and "xx boosters" that could elevate Pokémon's level.

Ultimately, he became the champion and wiped out all the villainous organizations in various regions.

This is a situation that Itagaki doesn't want to see.

Furthermore, the Rockets have always been people-oriented, and treating their own players well is the path they will continue to follow.

"Kid, this was Nanbo's fault. To make amends, go to the lab later and get a Pokémon you like as compensation."

Giovanni patted the Team Rocket member on the shoulder, his gaze gradually turning cold: "Nanpo, apologize."

"Yes! BOSS!"

Nanbo jumped in surprise and quickly apologized to the member: "I'm sorry! I was wrong!"

"So, are you satisfied now?"

Banmu turned his head, his gaze softening.

"Yes! Thank you, Boss! I will forever defend Team Rocket's glory! I will become Team Rocket's sharpest weapon!"

Banmu's move was quite clever; he's clearly an old-school capitalist. It seems like he's trying to save face for the lower-level members by pressuring the higher-ups.

In fact, this is also a means of winning people's hearts.

After that Rockets rookie left.

Banmu paced back and forth, his tone turning serious: "Nanbo, let's go to the Orange Islands. Golden City has been rather unsettled lately; we should gradually transfer the data."

Just like the information regarding the previous relocation of Yuhong Game City, Banmu felt that Silver Company should also be abandoned.

Although he hasn't fully obtained the data for Masterball, he has already gained control of some key information.

Now, even if we don't actually get it, it's practically ours.

"Boss, is it because I didn't do a good enough job?"

Dr. Nanbo's pupils widened. Sending him to a barren island like the Orange Islands was no different from exile!

In his view, this was a sign of dissatisfaction from Itagi towards himself.

"No, you did a great job, that's why I entrusted the Orange Islands project to you. You know, the Orange Islands are home to legendary Pokémon. Team Rocket doesn't have many researchers available right now, and I transferred you there because I have high hopes for you."

The wooden plank is open and frank.

Dr. Nanbo stood at attention and said, "Yes, sir!"

Dr. Nanbo wanted to pack his things.

Giovanni threw out a Poké Ball: "Let's go now."

thump.

The Poké Ball landed, and a brownish-brown mole with three identical heads burrowed into the ground and blinked.

Dugtrio, the mole Pokémon!
This is the main team of Banmu.

There was no time to worry about that now, so he ordered the three diggers to take Dr. Nanbo away, while he personally went to destroy some of the documents.

The Rockets can't afford to leave any more leverage.

"Li Xuan is still in the Unova region, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Banmu hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the scene of the abandoned monkey taking down Shiba alone, he felt a sense of eeriness.

"This is the first time I've seen someone train Pokémon to such a self-reliant level. This kid, Li Xuan, is not someone that patrolling trainers can easily fool..."

Banmu sighed inwardly. After the three digletts delivered Dr. Nanbo to the underground passage, he began searching each floor.

To prevent any "little Rada" from hiding.

at the same time.

Outside the Silver Company building.

"Melo?" (Is this the place you're talking about? It looks a bit high, like it's about the same height as Feiyun City.)
Meloetta, now invisible, led everyone to become invisible as well.

Not many Pokémon accompanied this trip. Besides Meloetta and Victini, only Machamp, Craftsman, Metagross, Gallade, and Terrakion came.

Of course, there's also a Rehim inside the memorial ball.

This is our trump card; we can't just use it casually.

Meanwhile, Cobalion and Virizion stayed at the Fighting Dojo to prevent Team Rocket from discovering anything and launching a sneak attack.

"Giant Clang." (Yes, this is the Silver Corporation. I think we have many ways to get in. For example, breaking down the door, or going around to the back door.)
The Metagross spoke, giving them two choices.

Actually, it came here specifically to unlock it.

Furthermore, it can also disrupt monitoring by controlling the magnetic field.

It's an essential Pokémon for every home.

"Hmph." (Let's go through the back door, better not to alert them. Our purpose here is to rescue the Pokémon.)
Guai Li did not forget the purpose of his trip.

It was all to rescue the Pokémon trapped in the laboratory.

That damn Team Rocket, they actually did this to Pokémon for their own selfish desires!
Machamp was captured by Team Rocket when it was still Machop. If Li Xuan hadn't appeared in time to save it, the Pokémon currently in the lab might be him.

Therefore, Guai Li felt that they should not alert the enemy.

The goal is to rescue all the Pokémon from the lab safely and quickly.

"Bini." (Okay, let's go through the back door then. Does anyone know how to get there? Please lead the way!)
This was the first time Bictini had ever done something like this, and its little hands rubbed together, eager to go in and have a go at it.

"Ailu." (I know how to get there.)
Gallade was very familiar with this place; when it was arrested and sold, it had seen people coming and going from the Silver Company.

It's clear that the black market is connected to the back entrance.

This is why the Rockets were able to penetrate so quickly.

It's impossible to say there wasn't a mole within the organization.

A large group of Pokémon marched through the alleyway toward the back door.

Along the way, many residents were awakened by the rumbling noise.

But finding no one around, they assumed there was some kind of renovation going on and decided to leave it at that.

I put on some earplugs and went straight to sleep.

Finally, after a long ten minutes.

They arrived at the back door.

"Giant Clang." (I'll handle this; I'm the expert at unlocking things.)
The back door lock is an electronic lock, and Metagross is quite adept at cracking them.

All the Pokémon stepped back, giving Metagross a chance to unleash its power.

Just as Metagross was about to open the door, the back door opened by itself.

Then, the face of a kind middle-aged man came into view.

Beside the man followed a large, yellow and black Bumblebee Pokémon...

Beedrill & Big Bee!
