Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 339 The Plasma Team's Plan, Operation Begins (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

When Mingyou rode his Milerton back to the villa from Ripple Bay, the police cars parked outside and the familiar figures of several international police officers made his heart tighten, thinking that something serious had happened.

"It smells like a battle is about to begin~"

"..."

Hearing what the Queen of the Rachel said, Mingyou didn't care about anything else and ran straight to the villa in the rain. She saw Xiaozhao sitting with the butler at the door, receiving a statement from the handsome man and Miss Officer Jenny.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Zhao gave her a look, and Ming You understood immediately, instantly breathing a sigh of relief, knowing that the other person was telling her that nothing was wrong.

But his appearance also attracted the attention of the handsome guy. After all, just a few days ago, this guy was the subject of attention from the Interpol police, and now this has happened again. Although he wasn't present, he still had to ask him about it.

However, Mingyou stopped and asked first, "What happened here?"

"Someone arranged for a large number of well-trained Pokémon to attack Cynthia's villa, but they were all defeated by your Pokémon."

After answering the question, the handsome man immediately asked, "Have any strange things happened here recently? For example, is there something in the villa that attracts people to attack it? Or have you seen any strange people around the villa lately?"

After saying that, he added, "Judging from the time, these Pokémon arrived shortly after you left. Those people must have been observing nearby, deliberately waiting for this opportunity."

"..."

Hearing the question, Mingyou fell silent. If he really had to say, it might be Team Rocket, who came for the Bright Stone. But then he thought about it again and realized that wasn't it. After a moment of contemplation, he gently shook his head, indicating that he wasn't quite sure.

The handsome guy then asked where he had gone, and Mingyou replied directly that his Pokémon was sick and the villa happened to be out of medicine, so he rushed out to buy some. This answer was indeed correct.

"Why does it take so long to buy medicine?"

The handsome man was a little puzzled. He wasn't being aggressive; he just felt that Mingyou was involved in too many cases and that he might be able to get some details out of her. Ordinary criminal gangs couldn't possibly arrange so many well-trained Pokémon to carry out missions.

Mingyou gently shook her head and replied, "You understand this kind of weather. With such heavy rain, of course I have to be careful while riding my motorcycle lizard."

"..."

The handsome man glanced at Milton, who was disguised as a Motolizard, and didn't ask anything more. Since the villa was undamaged, they decided to take all the defeated Pokémon back for investigation.

A moment later, all the police officers left, and the butler said apologetically, "It seems that my calling the police to handle this matter has caused you trouble."

"It's alright, since none of us were there at the time."

Xiao Zhao finally spoke up. Actually, it was she who bought the fever reducer for Meloeta, and she had only just returned. Like Mingyou, she was also frightened by the scene. Fortunately, nothing serious happened...

As the group entered the house, Lucario immediately stepped forward and explained the situation to Naruto.

"Leo!"

"Hmm...I understand."

Mingyou nodded slightly. How could a bunch of lousy fish be a match for them? She didn't care. She just glanced around and didn't seem to find Ponpo. She didn't even see Latias or Kirlia.

"What about them?"

"Leo?"

Lucario only just realized this.

Sensing something was wrong, Mingyou immediately went upstairs to his room. Looking at Meloetta, who was lying unconscious on the bed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Zhao brought him a dry towel and gently wiped his rain-soaked body, signaling him not to panic. She then said, "There was some unfamiliar spiritual energy in the room. It seems a Ghost-type Pokémon took advantage of the battle below to try and kidnap Meloetta, but there are no signs of a fight here..."

At this point, Mingyou understood. Xiaozhao smiled and said jokingly, "The children have all grown up~ so don't worry too much."

"I'm just afraid they'll cause trouble..."

"Don't you even have confidence in your own child?"

"..."

Mingyou fell silent. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that Ponpo and the others really didn't need her to take good care of them anymore. Just like those children who have grown up, she felt gratified, but also a little lonely.

While waiting, he recounted what had happened at Rippling Bay and his subsequent plans.

When he heard that he wanted to use the Rockets to break through the Plasma Team's defense, Xiao Zhao covered her mouth, looking surprised: "You really dare? Aren't you afraid they'll notice something's wrong? Those people aren't trustworthy."

"Trust aside for now, the key point is that their targets are underwater ruins!"

"You're trying to be the one who reaps the benefits..."

Xiao Zhao understood the other party's plan, of course. If she were to think about it herself, she would probably choose a more conservative approach, not wanting to involve too many people.

This is the biggest difference between the two despite their similar personalities. Xiao Zhao is kinder and would never consider the most extreme solution unless absolutely necessary, but Ming You is different. He considers efficiency, not to mention that Team Rocket and Team Plasma are his enemies.

However, both of them respect and understand each other's choices and offer their support. Therefore, Xiaozhao will do her best to assist Mingyou's plan, even though she doesn't really want to continue getting involved in this struggle... Saving the world is just too tiring.

But if she were given the choice again whether to save the world, she would still agree, because she's always been that kind-hearted Xiao Zhao...

After waiting for a long time, noises came from downstairs.

After leaving Typhoon to take care of Meloetta, the two went downstairs. As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Bianco and the others who had been beaten up. Naruto didn't even recognize them; they had been beaten up so badly.

"Waaah~"

Latias immediately stepped forward, looking at Mingyou with anticipation on his face, "Praise me! Praise me!"

"It's amazing you guys were able to catch them all."

Mingyou patted her head, while Kirlia did not take credit, but Mingyou knew that it must have done some work, as Latias was not that clever.

That's exactly what happened. After taking down a bunch of exposed Mushrooms, Latias was dumbfounded, unsure which one to chase first. Kirlia, on the other hand, knew they would definitely reunite, so she could just quietly follow them and find an opportunity to wipe them all out. However, she didn't expect to run into Ponpo at the finish line, where Ponpo was wreaking havoc...

After briefly understanding the situation from Ponpo, Mingyou's expression remained calm. She finally recognized who Bianco and the others were. Just as Zhulan had said, these guys wouldn't give up.

"I'm glad you still remember me, but I don't like your behavior. Tell me honestly, who provided you with those Pokémon!"

"..."

Bianco remained silent. They couldn't possibly expose the Plasma Team's affairs, and they also believed that these people wouldn't dare to actually take action against them.

"If you don't speak up, plenty of others will!"

Mingyou was too lazy to continue joking around with these guys. He simply called over the frustrated Millerton, threw them into the network world, turned their bodies into data, and then split open their heads to check their memory data. Even if they died inside, no one would know.

As he spoke, he grabbed one of the people and had Miller throw him into the network world. The others were clearly shocked to see him stuff the person into the phone. Then he threw in another person.

One by one, none of them can escape.

Initially, this group didn't believe what he meant by the online world, but seeing their companions being thrown in one after another, they had no choice but to believe it. Finally, someone couldn't bear the psychological pressure and chose to confess.

Mingyou showed no sign of stopping, continuing to throw everyone around him, including Bianco, into the online world. Finally, she grabbed his clothes, and the man was on the verge of a breakdown.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

He was genuinely scared; anyone would be nervous when faced with the threat of death.

Of course, Mingyou's words were all a lie. How could Millerton possibly have that kind of ability? He was simply setting a trap to put some psychological pressure on people and see who would be the first to give in, so as to prevent them from having any wishful thinking. That's why he deliberately left them to be the last one.

Xiao Zhao glanced at Ming You with a helpless look. She didn't really like the other party's deceptive behavior, but to be honest... it was really satisfying to watch!

The last person was almost scared out of his wits, and before Mingyou could even ask, he told her everything.

After listening, Mingyou nodded slightly: "I see, the Plasma Team? They clearly don't need Meloetta anymore, yet you're still eyeing it. What are you thinking?"

"Meloeta... is ours, of course we must get it back, and it can't escape either. Protecting the underwater ruins is something it promised a thousand years ago, and it will protect them forever. The pain it is suffering now is punishment for trying to shirk its duty."

"What!?"

Hearing this, everyone finally understood the reason for Meloeta's serious illness. This wasn't a duty; it was a curse! A curse for life!

Suppressing her anger, Mingyou continued to ask, "So what's Team Plasma's plan? What exactly do they want from the underwater ruins?"

"The Divine Stone..."

"Um?"

"Like the Light Stone and the Dark Stone, it is the Dragon Stone, which seals the power of the legendary dragon!"

"What?!"

"There might be other things, but what Team Plasma wants is the God Stone."

"..."

After processing the information, Mingyou and Xiaozhao exchanged a glance. Although they didn't know what the Divine Stone was, the fact that the Light Stone was used as a prize and even attracted Team Rocket, but failed to attract Team Plasma, meant that the Divine Stone was more important than the Light Stone.

The fact that the Rockets are also looking for this item speaks volumes about its importance!

"I'm afraid the truth will only be revealed after we unlock the underwater ruins... At the very least, the divine stone must not fall into the hands of those people!"

Mingyou murmured softly, but compared to all that, the matter of Meloetta was the most important. Now that he couldn't open the underwater ruins, he would wait for Team Rocket or Team Plasma to help him open them!

Action, get ready to begin!
