Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 463 Wujitana? Big Egg! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

As night fell, a cold wind blew in gusts.

The heated online discussion about the first match of the Masters Tournament semifinals intensified, drawing global attention to Gongmen City. Meanwhile, in Quan Guan City, which was largely ignored, a major event was also unfolding.

Beneath the Hammer Arena, resembling a medieval castle, lies an energy factory that supplies Dynamax energy points to the entire Galar region. Apart from a few members of the Marocmon Group, no one knows about this place.

The energy plant operates efficiently at all times. In fact, in addition to providing energy to various towns, it also absorbs the battle energy released by Pokémon battles from various places.

This is why the Galar region is being developed into the premier region, and Pokémon battles are being heavily promoted. This is because it is a way to obtain energy from Pokémon continuously without harming them.

The battle energy released by Leyton and Milton during their battle was also transmitted to the energy plant through the underground facilities of the Palace Arena via energy pipelines. This energy was enormous, and it was the result of the two Pokémon being unable to fully unleash their power and having their strength restricted.

"I originally thought that the energy tank would not be full until after the Masters Tournament. Although Naruto might be a potential threat, we also owe a lot to him for making the plan possible ahead of schedule."

With his hands behind his back, Lorz stood in front of the railing, his face unable to contain his excitement as he looked at the countless huge glass jars shaped like test tubes standing around the circular platform in front of him, all of which were filled with liquid-like golden energy.

Behind Lorz, Olive stood upright, her smile equally undisguised. Behind her were several core members of the Marocmon Group, as well as core members who had just been dispatched here to assist today. However… the Team Rocket trio was surprisingly among them.

They never expected that simply staying in the Marocmont Group as an inside agent would not only go undetected, but would even allow them to rise to management positions. In recent days, they even heard rumors of their promotion to department head, which was incredibly gratifying.

But they are only loyal to the Rockets. Even though Giovanni is now singing "Tears Behind Bars" in prison, they will continue their plan to revive the Rockets. The Maroccomon Group is just a stepping stone!

But at this moment...

Their gazes were drawn to an object standing on the circular platform in front of them. It was a dark purple egg, but it was huge, and the surface of the eggshell resembled a mural, with many strange patterns outlining a dragon.

On either side of the dragon, a sword and a shield, stripped of their decaying coats and now dull and faded, seem to be held in the dragon's sharp claws.

The Fairy King's Sword and the Fighting King's Shield, which once severed the darkness of night, have now appeared here...

"Turtle, what's this egg, meow?"

"In short, it doesn't look like a good egg."

"Whether or not you can eat it is very important!"

"This is a large preserved egg, it should be edible, right?"

The Rockets trio communicated via team voice chat. Although they had risen to the ranks of management, they only knew a little about the things the Marocomon Group did in secret and could not understand them in depth. It was truly unexpected that they would be brought here by Trust.

In short, call the boss after you get out.

Just as the group was secretly plotting, Lorze suddenly turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone. He nodded slightly and, in a CEO's tone, said, "For the next period of time, you will stay here and work. You don't need to worry about company matters for now. Vice President Olive will explain the details to you later!"

"yes!"

"good!"

Lorz nodded in satisfaction, but his gaze immediately fell on the Rockets trio, startling them so much that they broke out in a cold sweat, thinking they had been exposed.

"As for you guys, weren't you previously dispatched to the Aether Foundation? I've seen the report on the Ultimate Void. There's some separate work for you to do here, so come with me later."

"yes!"

Seeing that they hadn't been discovered, the Rockets trio finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they were highly skilled. Although the others in their group were arrested by the Interpol, they successfully retrieved some of the research data on the device that opened the Ultimate Hole, as well as some of the equipment that was not completely destroyed, pretending to risk their lives to bring it back. As a result, they were not only not punished, but were also promoted.

As for those unfortunate individuals arrested by the Interpol, while their fate remains unknown, rumors circulate that their evidence was destroyed by López...

A moment later, Lorz led them away alone.

Just then, a figure arrived silently without Olive and the others noticing, stood by the railing with his hands behind his back, and looked at the egg and sword and shield on the circular platform.

"Sure enough, it really is here..."

The Crowned King murmured to himself that he had stayed in the Galar region ever since the Meloetta concert ended, searching for the Corrupted Sword and Corrupted Shield, which had lost their connection.

Although Zacian and Zamazenta are still asleep in this era and will only awaken when the night falls again, their slumbering forest is inaccessible to ordinary people, and anyone who can steal their sword and shield is no ordinary person.

Finally, it managed to find this place through the strange energy transmission underground, which was the energy used during the battle between Milton and Gullton.

It stared intently at the preserved egg. Having witnessed that battle thousands of years ago, it couldn't possibly fail to recognize that inside this preserved egg was the culprit that absorbed the energy of the entire Galar region and triggered the Dark Night!

"Mukutana!"

Just as the Crowned King called out the name, the preserved egg seemed to react and began to shake violently. Without hesitation, it ran away.

It was more worried about the irreparable damage that Mugentsuna would cause to the city of Kensei if it caused trouble here, and it certainly wasn't because it couldn't beat them.

It then followed in Loz's footsteps, but had no intention of meeting the modern-day "King of Galar" at the moment; it simply wanted to see what they were still tinkering with.

So...

I really envy Naruto. All he has to do is focus on the battle with the other Pokémon, follow orders, and draw enemy fire. But Turnips have to think about so many things back home.

The underground energy plant covers a vast area, almost a quarter of the city of Hammerlocke.

Although the headquarters of the Marocmon Group is in Miyamon City, they started their business in Quanju City many years ago, before Miyamon City was even built. The underground energy plant was under construction at that time.

Many secret laboratories were built here, and with Miyagi City helping to draw attention away from the danger, almost no one would suspect that Hammerlocke City was the real vulnerability.

The Rockets trio followed Lorz into a laboratory. There weren't many people working inside at the moment. The leader was a middle-aged man with blond hair who looked somewhat familiar, but his condition seemed a bit off... or rather, everyone in this laboratory was acting strangely!

"Where am I now, meow!"

"Don't ask... otherwise we might end up like these people!"

"Look at that!"

Kojiro seemed to have discovered something. He gestured to his companions and looked at a girl with short, dyed hair sitting in front of a computer not far away, operating something. He immediately recognized her as the girl that Naruto had asked them to help find clues a few days ago.

"..."

The Crowned King, following behind, also saw Peony sitting quietly there. Its eyes briefly changed slightly. How could it, familiar with mental power, not see that everyone in the laboratory, including Peony, was being controlled by mental power?

After being missing for more than a month, he suddenly appeared here.

Fortunately, there was no danger to his life. It seems that Lorz wanted to use the other party's hacking skills for something. But what exactly is this laboratory for?

Calyrex was also quite curious, but being cautious as always, it dared not investigate recklessly, because the Pokémon that used psychic powers to control these people might notice it. So it could only wait until it got out and let its top enforcer, Yuu, handle the situation.

Only then did Lorz finally speak.

He looked at the Team Rocket trio and said, "The Ultra Vault data you brought back has completely repaired the device that opens it, but due to time constraints, you'll have to conduct the experiment. You'll have a maximum of three days, before the Masters Tournament ends!"

"no problem!"

Team Rocket understood perfectly well that this was why they had been brought here. Although they knew how to use the device, having witnessed the terrifying power of the Ultra Beasts, they dared not mess around like this.

Perhaps sensing their concerns, Rhodes smiled and said, "The Ultra Ball has been completely replicated. We also have a Fall here who, having been bathed in Ultra Space energy, will continuously attract Ultra Beasts. You just need to activate the device and keep playing the throwing game. Even if you don't catch anything, with your abilities, I believe..."

"no problem!"

With things as they were, the Rockets trio could only accept it with utter despair. They either had to obey or be controlled and obey. Fortunately, Rhodes didn't suspect them of being the mole, otherwise they would have been in big trouble.

After making the arrangements, Lorze left immediately.

He didn't actually want his employees to do these things; those who obeyed were good employees, which is why he was trusted by his subordinates.

So initially, he planned to use the technology stolen from the Aether Foundation to develop Sivir, but after his undercover agent in Aether Park was exposed and captured, there wasn't enough data, and development couldn't continue, so he had to abandon the project...

Seeing Loz leave, the Lady Crown King, who had heard a lot of valuable information, planned to follow him. However, as soon as she moved, the unknown mental force locked onto her instantly, and she was still discovered by the enemy.

The energy plant immediately sounded an alarm!

The turnip, which had been keeping a low profile, suddenly became incredibly noticeable and immediately made its escape.

"Did a mouse get in?"

With his hands in his pockets and a cold look in his eyes, Lorze turned around and caught a glimpse of a large head flashing by. He didn't recognize the person, but he remembered their figure.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
