Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 407 The Legend of Galar's Living and Dead (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Mingyou patted his head. The feeling of being controlled by Nihilego was like being stung by a jellyfish lying in ambush on the beach while beachcombing. There were too many fruits in the manor that could increase poison resistance. With poison resistance maxed out, he could still stay conscious under the neurotoxin.

He looked at the people in front of him. He had wanted to break free immediately after Nihilego had his head covered, but seeing them turn and run, he decided to see what was going on. He really hadn't expected this...

"You really want to know my secret? Sorry, but it's polite to tell your own secret before asking about others', right? Although even if you told me, I still wouldn't tell you."

"hateful……"

Tetsuji's expression gradually became serious. Although he wasn't present when Naruto and Gladio fought, he had learned from Zaobo that even Silvally could be easily defeated, so who the hell could stop them!

Mingyou didn't take him seriously at all. He wasn't much trouble in himself, just helping others catch a few undercover agents. The important thing was that the people behind these guys were actually eyeing him... What kind of level is that!

"One person like Xiao Zhao is enough to make a move on me!"

His gaze swept across the crowd and instantly spotted the Team Rocket trio. Intrigued, he waved and greeted them, "What a coincidence!"

"My disguise has been seen through, meow!"

The Team Rocket trio immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained, "It has nothing to do with us! The Marocmon Corporation sent us because they thought our disguise skills were good. We haven't done anything bad in the past two months, not even caught a Pokémon!"

After the words were spoken, the laboratory fell silent. Both sides, friend and foe alike, were stunned into silence.

Mingyou rubbed his forehead and shook his head, hesitating to speak. He really hadn't seen them in a long time, and he just wanted to say hello to them and ask if they wanted to come to Beishang Township to work for him, that was all...

"You lot!"

After regaining his senses, Tetsuji's face turned as red with anger. This place had arranged for him to become a "Sleeping Dragon" and "Young Phoenix" (a metaphor for powerful and influential figures), what else could he say?

Now that things had come to this, Mingyou had no choice but to take the matter a little more seriously. Stroking his chin, he muttered to himself, "The Marocmon Group... so the person targeting me and the Ether Foundation is that Chairman Loz? Hmm, this guy is certainly a heavyweight!"

Rose's identity is too special. In just ten years, he developed the Galar region into the number one region for Pokémon battles, controlled 90% of the Galar region's economy, and was also an important figure in discovering Leon's talent and making him the recognized strongest king.

Today, in the hearts of the people living in the Galar region, Loz is almost synonymous with a living legend. As for the legend of Galar's death? It must be some legendary king who has long been forgotten.

"Have some backbone, turnip..."

Thinking of this, Mingyou couldn't help but complain about the Rachel King. But back to the main point, if it really was Loz who was behind this... why be afraid of him? What a piece of trash! If he's so capable, why doesn't he come and punish me from another region?

He deliberately put on a nonchalant smile, looked at Tetsuji and the others, clapped his hands, and said, "Alright, look this way, I'll count to three, and quickly tell me everything you know!"

"one!"

"Oh……"

As he started counting, Tetsuji and the others looked on with disdain, completely disbelieving that he would do anything, since he had always maintained an image of an honest person who didn't cause trouble since he became famous.

But the next second, a scorching heat suddenly struck them from in front of them. Azure flames exploded in front of them, and the heat from the explosion sent them flying. They crashed heavily against the laboratory wall and fell down, getting up in a disheveled state and shouting.

"What about two and three!"

"You don't need to know those things; all you need to remember is enough to survive!"

Mingyou spoke calmly. He was no longer the ordinary citizen who let others bully him and was too timid to fight back. He would never again hear talk of deliberately suppressing his strength, and...

"The only person who can bully me is Xiao Zhao!"

"The only thing you remember about our relationship is this 'one,' right?"

"That's right, that's how it is."

"..."

Although there were still many things they wanted to complain about, Tetsuji and the others realized that the guy in front of them was not the kid they thought he was, but a real big shot who could influence the whole world.

We need to think of a way...

Hmm, it seems like there really is a way!

More important than the success of the mission is not to reveal the specific details of the mission, so they absolutely cannot be caught. In that case, let's eliminate all the evidence!

Just then, Mizuki and the others, who were trying to save Naruyu, finally followed the trail to the laboratory. As soon as they entered, they saw Nicholas Ito, who had turned into a dried jellyfish at the door, and were stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Looks like he doesn't need us to worry. Did he deliberately get captured so that UB01: Parasite could bring him here? He even anticipated that!"

Lusamine admired Naruyu more and more at this moment. After all, knowing that the other party had the ability, she still risked her life without hesitation to let Niogo Ido control her with neurotoxin. She was so courageous!

"Hmm!?"

Is that how it is?

Ponpo suddenly realized that even it hadn't seen through Mingyou's acting this time. It was really worried because it didn't look like it was acting at all.

But putting that aside for now, Lusamine crossed her arms and looked at the people in front of her, her tone gradually turning colder: "Thirteen in total? So many rats have gotten in. I should have hired a cat boss to catch them, don't you think, Zaobo!"

"!!!"

Zaobo was nearly scared out of his wits by her cold gaze and quickly explained, "It has nothing to do with me, Chairperson, you know I've always been a member of the Ether Foundation!"

"Yes, but not anymore."

"Don't shoot me, Chairman!"

Zaobo was practically begging for mercy on his knees, but Lusamine was willing to give him a chance: "Alright then, tell me everything you've done, word for word, and I might consider it."

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"You..."

Tetsuji looked at him coldly, his face showing anger, but he sneered inwardly. He was completely unaware that Naruyu's gaze was fixed on him the whole time.

At this point, Zaobo began to explain.

It all started after the development of Silvally was halted. This was the project he was in charge of, and he had hoped to get promoted through it. But it was stopped just like that, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it. Therefore, he continued his research in secret.

Six years ago, Tetsuji, who had infiltrated the Aether Foundation, found him and said that the Marocmon Corporation would provide him with financial support to help develop Silvally, but he needed to hand over the research data on Silvally, Ultra Beasts, and Ultra Void to them.

He initially disagreed, but the Marocmon Group promised him a department head position within the Ether Foundation, and even a new chairmanship, so he agreed to cooperate.

With the financial assistance provided by the Marocmon Group, everything was on the agenda, but the information about Ultra Beasts was all sealed data, which he couldn't obtain. So he borrowed the device that had opened the Ultra Void more than ten years ago to continue his research.

Four years ago, they successfully opened the Ultra Tunnel using a device. Nihilego was the first Ultra Beast to pass through the tunnel and arrive here. They tried to capture it with a Poké Ball, but failed and instead caused an accident that allowed Nihilego to escape.

Lillie and Gladion were attacked at that time. To avoid being exposed, they had to use the still-developing Silvally to capture the Nihilego and put it back in the Ultra Void. However, since Silvally was not yet stable, they had to wear helmets and continue to hide.

That accident led Gladion to investigate the matter, and he even found Silvally and took it away. So they all kept a low profile until Zaobo tricked him into leaving, and then they continued to conduct experiments underground without restraint.

They have now successfully developed special Poké Balls that can capture Ultra Beasts and reliably open Ultra Slugs. All they are missing is the ability to reliably traverse Ultra Slugs. However, the commotion they have caused recently has attracted the attention of the International Police. They also did not expect Gladion to return at this critical juncture.

"That's it. I've confessed everything. I didn't intend to hurt anyone; I just wanted the department head position..."

Zaobo honestly told her everything. Lusamine shook her head and rubbed her forehead. Although she was annoyed, she decided to be lenient because of his hard work over the years: "Alright then, the reserve is short of a janitor. You should be able to handle this new job, right? Don't let me down."

"Yes……"

Zaobo was like a deflated balloon; as long as he could stay in the Aether Foundation, he was fine with sweeping the floor, knowing he could rise back up eventually.

Now that the truth was out, Lusamine looked at Tetsuji and the others and asked, "So, you're employees of the Marocomon Group in the Galar region?"

"That's right."

"There shouldn't be more than that, right? Zaobo is just a tool; he couldn't possibly know too much. So tell us your real plan."

"You know it's pointless to ask these questions."

Tetsuya spread his hands and shook his head. Although Zaobo's words annoyed him, he was grateful for the explanations that bought him time. Now it was their turn to perform!

In that instant, the laboratory lights suddenly dimmed. Mingyou reacted quickly and immediately had Latias use Flash to illuminate the laboratory. But suddenly, everyone, including the Pokémon, smelled an incredibly strange fragrance, and afterwards, their bodies began to feel hot.

Under the flash of light, a slender figure, entirely milky white, appeared out of nowhere. Everyone's gaze fell upon her, and her image gradually surfaced in their minds.

"UB02: Beautiful..."

Lusamine recognized the other party's codename, and Naruyu also recognized the figure as Pheromosa.

Before anyone could figure out what was going on, Pheromosa suddenly abducted the dazed Lillie... no, it should be said that Lillie took the initiative to snuggle into the other's arms.

Unaffected at all, Tetsuji appeared beside Pheromone, smiling and waving, "Then we'll take this young lady with us!"
