Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Oh, right… that thing!

Xiao Yin took out her newly replaced phone and carefully checked the information on it.

He had previously received a strange questionnaire, and the questions on it all seemed disgusting to him.

However, out of curiosity, he patiently filled in the answers.

Will you treat all the Pokémon you capture equally?

'When you're in a desperate situation, would you sacrifice your partner's life to save yourself?'

Xiao Yin's answers to questions like these were entirely based on her own conscience.

'Weak Pokémon aren't worth catching.' 'I'll do anything to survive!'

However, to Xiao Yin's surprise, even though his answer contained no elements of righteousness or praise, he was still judged to have passed the test and received an invitation to the strongest trainer party.

Let's go then...

What if, by chance, a way to quickly become stronger can be found there?

With this in mind, Xiao Yin rushed to the newly opened Maglev train station, intending to take the train directly to Golden City and then transfer to New Island.

But when he arrived, he discovered that the "see you next time" that Xiao Mao mentioned was indeed very short.

"You're here to take the bus too?" "Are you also going to Golden City?"

"Actually, you're going to New Island, right?" *2

Well, their destination was actually the same: they were both invited to the party.

"Who could be the strongest trainer...?" Silver pondered to himself while waiting for the car.

"Who knows...it might just be a publicity stunt~" Xiao Mao said nonchalantly.

Unlike Xiao Yin, a newbie, he has an extraordinary understanding of someone.

Even a fool could tell from Shigeru's toes that those ridiculous problems must have been Ash's doing.

The fact that the other party didn't notify him in advance when they were doing this meant that it was a dungeon that didn't require his participation... but Xiao Mao still decided to go and take a look.

There are definitely many people like Xiao Yin who have been fooled. When everyone gathers together, the experience gained from them alone will be worth the price of admission...

Of course, that stubborn little Gary wouldn't admit it... The reason he insisted on going to the new island might also be because he wanted to see Ash.

Shortly after, the maglev train slowly pulled into the station.

Two boys boarded the train one after the other, about to temporarily leave the Johto region...

Chapter 452 Sakaki's Operation: Target Niijima!

Meanwhile, in a secluded suburb near Manjin City, Athena, who had been rescued, was venting her anger on the surrounding flowers and plants.

She directed her hydrangea to continuously spray out foul-smelling venom, spreading out patches of purple stains that corroded the ground and vegetation in front of her, leaving them riddled with holes.

"Damn it...damn it!" Athena stamped her foot in frustration. "Apollo, why did you leave? You had a chance to catch that bastard, and..."

"And what else? You want to arrest Young Master Yin as well?" Apollo retorted noncommittally. "If the Boss finds out that you dared to lay a hand on his son... do you think you'll get away with it?"

“But… we can’t just let him mingle with the enemy!” Athena retorted angrily.

"Do you know you almost caused a disaster?" Apollo glared at her reproachfully. "The fact that they could act together at least shows that Young Master Yin's identity hasn't been exposed... But now that you've done this, the kid from the Ooki family will definitely become suspicious!"

"This..." Athena was speechless for a moment, only then realizing that she had indeed acted impulsively.

“Besides, don’t think that just because I easily dealt with Aerodactyl, I can take down that kid quickly,” Apollo said helplessly. “You know the drawbacks of Mega Houndoom. Once that kid calms down and is determined to entangle with me, it won’t be able to end the battle in a short time… Don’t forget, we’re being hunted!”

These words were like a wake-up call; Athena finally remembered the situation she had forgotten.

These remnants of the Rockets are now living in a miserable state, like rats in the street.

After being repeatedly attacked by the League... actually Ash, the remnants of Team Rocket are now in a state of transition, with a serious lack of manpower and high-end combat power.

On the other hand, the League, after seizing the initiative, has been advancing rapidly and has even promoted a new group of investigators to hunt down Team Rocket members in Kanto and Johto!

Among these people are some strong individuals; for example, Athena knows of a two-person team consisting of a man and a woman.

The male is skilled in using Psychic-type Pokémon, and his main Pokémon, Tauros, is said to have the power to teleport across two cities; while the female is skilled in Dark-type Pokémon, and her main Pokémon, like Apollo, is Houndoom!

These two are currently making waves in the capital. If we get entangled with them, our side will definitely be at a great disadvantage.

"Sigh... Why is this happening..." After her anger subsided, Athena fell into deep despair. "All this decline is because of Boss's disappearance... But where is he now?!"

“In a place where he doesn’t want us to find him,” Apollo said suddenly, calmly. “Boss has actually abandoned us.”

"What did you say?!" Athena was startled.

She looked closely at Apollo's face and realized that he didn't seem to be joking at all.

Indeed, as the one with the highest strength and intelligence among the four generals, Apollo could probably guess what Giovanni was thinking.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he strongly opposed Athena's raid on the Golden Radio Station, because it was simply not worth the risk.

Even if they succeed, they won't benefit, since Giovanni has already given up on them.

But if they fail and are captured, once the Red Devil returns to Kanto, he will definitely steal all the information from their heads!

"What...what should we do now?" Athena asked dejectedly, having completely lost her direction.

“It’s simple. Just prove your strength. The Boss will definitely need strong followers,” Apollo said calmly. “You are not allowed to act on your own. Come with me to the Green Grassland.”

"Where are you going and what are you going to do?"

“There’s something that a doctor over there is researching that’s extremely important to me.” Apollo’s voice trembled slightly with excitement. “If we could master that power, we could easily overthrow the capital!”

“Apollo…” Athena stared blankly at her companion.

At this moment, the burning ambition in the other person's eyes could even send chills down her spine.

She had a feeling that, rather than simply bringing the boss home safely, she, as a colleague and friend, might prefer him to be in charge of the household!

...

The operation at Goldenrod Radio failed, and the remnants of Team Rocket retreated in disgrace... But what they didn't know was that the Boss they had been so devoutly calling upon had actually been watching the entire process from their operation to their defeat with cold indifference!

Indeed, the weak are not worthy of being associated with me.

Seeing the poor performance of the Rockets remnants, Giovanni became even more convinced of his earlier thoughts.

He needs to find more trustworthy subordinates and gather a group of arrogant and powerful individuals!

Mewtwo is also one of the beings he needs to gather...

"Is it confirmed...? That energy signal is on the new island?" Sakaki asked his female secretary.

“Completely confirmed!” the female secretary reported solemnly. “That signal has appeared many times on the new island… Boss, you guessed right, there is indeed a special connection between it and Mewtwo!”

"Very good!" Sakaki nodded in satisfaction and immediately decided to set off. "Notify Domino at the outpost to take the lead. The rest of you will follow me in stealth fighters. Target: New Island!"

At this point, whether or not this was Ash's conspiracy is no longer important to him.

As a powerful and ambitious man, he shouldn't be so hesitant. Now that the power he desires has appeared, he should go all out to seize it!

...

"Has an order arrived... Completely confirmed!" At the same time, the blonde woman, who was navigating the speedboat through the wind and waves, was confirming the Boss's order on her personal computer.

After roughly locating the target, the woman immediately began to disguise herself. She tore off her black Team Rocket uniform and changed into ordinary traveler's clothes.

After that, she jumped off the boat without a care in the world!

"Help! Please... someone save me, I can't swim! Help... ugh..."

As soon as she entered the sea, the woman began to wail miserably, and every now and then she would let the seawater completely submerge her neck and head.

Her acting was so realistic, it was as if she would really perish at sea if no one came to rescue her…

"Wow~" Sure enough, a little guy with pink skin and a long tail came curiously to the woman.

It carefully examined the woman struggling in the sea, seemingly to confirm whether she posed any threat, before using its superpowers to drag the woman, who was about to lose consciousness, from the sea to the shore.

It casually tossed people onto the beach, making a little noise, which alerted the three little Kanto kids playing nearby. They covered their mouths, giggled, and ran away.

"Hmm... there are humans on the shore?" Mewtwo, who was originally setting up the party venue, frowned deeply after hearing the report from the three little ones, including Cloned Seed.

A human woman was found unconscious on the shore, but the direction of the waves made it impossible for her to be pushed ashore!

"Let's go, let's go." Mewtwo got up and flew towards the beach.

It wants to see who's causing trouble on this island!

Chapter 453 Enemies Meet, Hesitant to Throw a Blow at a Rat for Fear of Viol

On the coast of the new island, a small pink beast, hidden in the shadows, curiously observes Mewtwo's interaction with a human woman.

It witnessed the events in the Orange Islands firsthand a while ago, and was subsequently drawn to Mewtwo.

In Mewtwo, the pink creature discovered a power that was inherited from itself.

Although it is not as pure as its own, it has been harmonized by human power, and is giving rise to a completely new possibility.

The little beast is very curious about this possibility and also wonders whether Mewtwo's awakening of this possibility is related to its active contact with and study of humans.

Of course, this lofty contemplation only lasted a short time before being forgotten by the childlike instincts of the little beast.
