There were indeed a lot of customers in the store, and the queue stretched all the way to the door, so Xiaoxia could only continue to join the queue.

However, the reception staff were very quick; it only took a few minutes for Xiaoxia to be served.

"Hello, lovely lady, what Pokémon would you like to foster?"

Misty opened the Poké Ball and took out Psyduck.

After being released, Psyduck was still tilting its head and looking dazed.

"It's this Psyduck. I don't expect it to evolve or anything. I just hope you can make it smarter and sharper in the eyes."

As she spoke, Xiaoxia pulled Psyduck's two eyes upwards.

"Of course, no problem. It's a very simple matter. We will definitely do our best for you, customer. After all, we will give Pokémon endless love."

Amado happily made promises to Xia that he could never keep.

Unfortunately, Xiaoxia didn't realize anything was wrong and handed Psyduck over to them along with the crowd.

Looking forward to Psyduck becoming smarter, Misty skipped happily out of the breeding house.

They had only been gone a short while when they encountered Ash coming from the opposite direction.

"Xiaoxia, did you give away the Psyduck?"

"Yes, their store manager promised to make Psyduck a little smarter."

Ash's expression wasn't good when he heard this, because the system notification sounded when he was on the phone with Rika.

Ash realized something was wrong right then and there.

"It's a uniform for taking love... or rather, a breeding center? There's only one breeding center in this town."

I immediately remembered that Xiaoxia had said she would send Psyduck to the breeding center for a while.

I immediately hung up the phone and rushed over, but I was still too late.

"There might be a problem with Xiaoxia's breeding center. We have to go and get Psyduck back."

"Oh no, really?"

Immediately follow Ash to the breeding house again.

When they arrived at the incubation house, they suddenly discovered that it was already closed.

"We're closing at this time, even though it's still broad daylight outside."

The more Xia looked at the door, the more something seemed wrong. She became anxious and kept banging on it.

"Hello, please open the door. I want my Pokémon back, which I'm fostering. Hello..."

Continuing to film like this wouldn't be effective, so Xiaozhi immediately pulled Xiaoxia to the back door.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a suspicious person in the back alley of the incubator who was completely covered up and wearing sunglasses and a mask.

This outfit makes you look like a stalker. Is it really okay to walk around like this?

The people on the other side were also startled by Ash and Misty, and let out a scream.

"It really is you, Prosecutor Joey Minami!"

Xiao Zhi recognized her as soon as he heard her voice, realizing how unreliable she seemed.

It was that little Joey from the Dark City back then.

"Ah, you are Mr. Alan...

Little Joy recognized Ash at a glance, but since she had never met Misty, she quickly changed her mind halfway through her sentence.

"It's alright, the lady next to me is my companion."

However, she still had some doubts.

“Mr. Aaron, you’ve gotten shorter, you seem to have lost some muscle, and your face looks much younger.”

"That's not important. I'm just undergoing special training. Tell me what you're doing here."

"Oh, I see."

He made up a reason on the spot, and she believed him.

Of course, as a League prosecutor, Little Joey's basic qualities are qualified.

She trusted Xiaozhi completely, so she immediately believed whatever Xiaozhi said and didn't question it.

"Actually, this breeding center was reported by some citizens who said that there seemed to be some kind of abuse of Pokémon at this breeding center."

"It's such an outrageous thing, but no one is willing to investigate, so I took on the task of coming here to find out the truth."

This breeding center is very popular in town and has been open for almost a month.

Although many Pokémon were secretly moved away, some customers still wanted to retrieve their fostered Pokémon early, which actually saved them from disaster.

However, the Pokémon that were brought back always had some injuries on them, which aroused the trainers' suspicions and led them to report the incident to the League.

So the prosecutor who secretly infiltrated was actually little Joey.

He certainly seems like the kind of person who would be discovered by the enemy due to carelessness and then subjected to lewd interrogation.

"It seems we have the same purpose for coming here. I also suspect there's something wrong with this incubation facility, so I came to investigate."

Little Joey's eyes lit up, and she happily stood on tiptoe and said.

"Really? It's great to have your help, Mr. Aaron. Actually, I've been struggling with how to get in and investigate."

Want to worry about something like this? Xiao Zhi gripped the handle of the back door and gave it a hard shake.

The lock cylinder was shaken off, and the back door of the Nurturing Home was opened just like that.

“This is a very simple question, Joey. When we are investigating a crime, we don’t need to follow the normal rules so strictly. It’s always appropriate to carry a lock pick when necessary.”

[Ding! Nightingale Joey: Affection +2]

"I see, Mr. Aaron, that's amazing! I wish I could be as reliable as you someday."

It seems another innocent flower in the League is about to be corrupted by Ash.

Because she was worried about her Psyduck, Misty quickly interrupted their conversation.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go inside and see what's going on."

Chapter 72 Sakaki's Ambition

A group of people entered through the back door and immediately noticed something was wrong with the incubator.

There are no cultivation facilities here at all; instead, they are all isolated steel cages.

"Oh my god, this is too much." Little Joey had never seen anything like this before.

"They were lying when they said it had luxurious facilities like a grand hotel!"

After searching tirelessly through a cage, Xiaoxia finally found her Psyduck, which was also locked in one of the small compartments.

And they even stuck a useless note on it.

"Sigh, even bad guys don't like you. But Psyduck's eyes seem to have really become sharp."

“Look closely at Xiaoxia, it was glued on with tape.”

Sure enough, a ring of clear tape was stuck around Psyduck's eyes and the back of its head.

This broke Xiaoxia's heart.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Psyduck, it's all my fault."

However, the iron bars on the cage were very sturdy, and Xiaoxia couldn't find a way to get it out.

Behind the iron fence, there was a piece of transparent glass that blocked the light from the Poké Ball.

Then it was Ash's turn to enter the arena. He grabbed the cages on both sides and pulled hard.

The iron bars inside the cage immediately deformed, creating an opening that allowed the Pokémon to be retrieved using a Poké Ball.

"Little Joey, hurry up and take a picture. Let's find the culprit here."

After being reminded by Xiao Zhi, Xiao Joy realized what was happening and quickly took out her camera to take pictures of the scene as evidence for the future.

Suddenly, the door leading to the backyard warehouse opened, and a blonde woman and a green-haired man walked out.

Ash and his friends immediately hid behind a bunch of cages.

"Kosaburo, have all these Pokémon been selected?"

"Of course, put the rare ones in one group, the talented ones in another group, and the incompetent ones in yet another group."

"Our plan to disguise ourselves as a breeding center to collect and steal rare Pokémon to bring back to Team Rocket was a huge success! A huge success!"

"Haha, this mission was a complete success! The boss will definitely reward us with even more money!"

"A bright future awaits us!"

As they talked, their fingers intertwined, and they began to imagine their future life together.

"Has Little Joey recorded everything?"

"Yes, it's all been recorded."

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Xiao Zhi immediately stepped out from the corner.

They clapped and cheered for them.

"Okay, although I don't know where this habit came from."

"But I really admire your Rockets team's habit of talking to yourselves and explaining your plans."

"Pikachu Thunderbolt!"

"Who's there... Ahhh..."

Startled by Ash's sudden appearance, they were shocked by a 100,000-volt shock before they could even finish speaking.

Yamato and Kosaburo are quite resistant to Electric, and they were able to release their Pokémon even though they weren't stunned by the electric shock.
