In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

It has a series of effects, such as refreshing and invigorating, not only for trainers but also for Pokémon.

It's a really good prop.

"It's all thanks to the support of our guests."

A smile appeared on Lijia's pretty face. She loved perfume and grass fairies.

She was naturally very happy that her perfumes were recognized by the public.

"It smells so good!" Upon entering the perfume shop, the refreshing fragrance filled the air, and the campfire couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The pleasant fragrance, which is not overpowering, is indeed refreshing and invigorating.

Lijia's perfume shop is very large, and most of the employees are young girls, which is pleasing to the eye.

Rika then led Bakura and the other person to the back room of the shop, which was divided into many cubicles and served as a rest area for the employees and Rika when they were tired from work.

Upon entering a tea room, Rika knelt on the tatami mats and skillfully brewed tea.

"Is Mr. Bakura, who is now 14, also traveling?"

After personally pouring tea for the three of them, Rika asked Bakura curiously.

Actually, she was quite curious about Bakura. Little Yellow had challenged the Rainbow Gym, and that Karatama was a very powerful Pokémon.

According to Xiao Huang, the Paper Sword was given to her by Bakura?

Bakura actually gifted this precious and rare spirit to someone he didn't know before, which made Rika curious about Bakura.

"Yes, I'm currently traveling in the Kanto region, but I don't plan to challenge the League. I just want to enjoy the scenery and local customs of various parts of Kanto."

Bakura thanked him, took a sip of tea, and replied with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't Bakura-nii going to the Quartz Conference?" Little Yellow was taken aback and looked at Bakura in surprise.

She also hoped to meet Bakura at the Quartz Conference and then show him the results of her training.

"This is just a current idea." Bakura smiled at Koyo; at least for now, he wasn't planning to participate.

However, he couldn't say for sure what his thoughts might be later.

"I see. I'd really like to have a go at Bakura's first match. The Rainbow Gym welcomes Mr. Bakura to come and challenge us anytime."

Rika said regretfully that as a trainer, she really wanted to test Bakura's strength.

"There will be an opportunity." Bakura chuckled lightly, neither confirming nor denying.

The group then chatted for a while, but before long, there was a knock on the door, and a girl walked in and whispered a few words in Rika's ear.

Bakura glanced at the girl, his eyes flickering slightly. He vaguely heard the words "Dragon Messenger"!

"I apologize for my rudeness. I have urgent business to attend to and must leave you for a moment. I hope you will forgive me."

After listening, Rika frowned slightly, stood up, and gave Bakura and the other person a graceful bow as an apology.

"It's alright, Rika, please go ahead with your work." Bakura smiled, indicating his understanding.

Watching Rika's departing figure, Bakura narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Judging from Lijia's expression, she seems quite anxious. I wonder if something has happened."

The campfire wondered curiously, since they had met, Lijia had maintained a perfect, high-class demeanor, but something seemed to have happened just now.

"Nothing happened. It's just that Mr. Champion came to see Sister Lijia again," Xiao Huang said after blinking and thinking for a moment.

"Champion?" Campfire was taken aback and looked at Xiao Huang in astonishment. In Kanto, the only one who could be called a champion was that man, right?

"Yes, it's Lance, the champion. He arrived in Rainbow City a week ago, apparently to discuss Team Rocket with Rika."

Xiao Huang nodded, then reminisced about the past year and spoke to the two of them.

She didn't know much about this either, because Lijia hadn't told her much information.

Upon hearing this, Campfire frowned slightly and turned to look at Bakura. Lance had actually come to Celadon City to deal with Team Rocket.

“Interesting.” Bakura murmured, his eyes flickering slightly, before a subtle smile appeared on his lips.

Team Rocket has a very important large base in Celadon City, and the largest arcade in Celadon City is now under their control!

This is a huge source of funding for the Rockets, and Bakura originally planned to use this large base to cause trouble.

But the fact that Yulongdu came here in person saved Bakura a lot of trouble.

Lijia didn't return for quite some time, but it was clear that she didn't look particularly well, and her initial composure had faded, making her appear preoccupied.

Upon seeing this, Bakura and his companion exchanged a few words and then took their leave.

After finding a high-end hotel and booking a room, Bakura lay on the bed, rested his head on the lap by the campfire, and took out his phone to call Sakaki.

The phone was answered after only two rings.

"Hello? Mr. Bakura?" Sakaki's magnetic and mature voice rang out from the phone.

"Mr. Sakaki, it's been so long since we last contacted each other. I miss you terribly."

Bakura's lips curled into a slight smile as he spoke slowly to Sakaki.

"Hehe... To be remembered by Mr. Bakura, I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse."

Sakaki chuckled twice, and his meaningful words came through the phone.

"Mr. Sakaki, what you're saying is really hurtful. But I have some very important news for you this time~"

"Oh? Mr. Bakura, please go ahead."

"Rainbow City, Lance has arrived in Rainbow City. I heard that he came to destroy one of your Team Rocket's important bases, Mr. Giovanni."

Baku 177 smiled even more deeply and said to Sakaki in a low voice.

"I've already received the news," came Sakaki's calm voice, though the icy tone was unmistakable.

The large base in Rainbow City is one of the most important bases for his Team Rocket!

Giovanni put a lot of effort into this base, and even conducted experiments on Pokémon gene fusion within the base!

In order to protect the base, Giovanni spent a lot of money to bribe and win over the high-ranking members of the Alliance, but he did not expect that Lance would go his own way and ignore the decision of the Alliance's high-ranking members, and come to Rainbow City alone.

This infuriated Sakaki! That damned Wataru!

"I see. So, Mr. Sakaki, what are you planning to do? Lance is not a easy opponent."

Bakura wasn't surprised. Team Rocket's intelligence was second to none in the Kanto region. He was curious about what Giovanni planned to do. Would he abandon the base?

There was no sound coming from the phone, only faint breathing, indicating that Sakaki was still holding the phone.

After a long silence, Sakaki's calm yet chilling voice slowly rang out.

"I wonder if Mr. Bakura would be interested in joining me... to bury Wataru, the strongest dragon tamer in this world?"

"I wonder if Mr. Bakura would be interested in joining me... to bury Wataru, the strongest dragon tamer in this world?"

Sakaki's cold, calm voice came from the phone. The gentle massage of Bakura's temples on the campfire paused, and he stared at the phone in shock.

Bury the Imperial Dragon Crossing?

This guy, Sakaki, actually wants to kill Lance directly?

“Mr. Sakaki, you can’t joke like that.”

Bakura narrowed his eyes slightly and replied to Sakaki in a calm tone.

Giovanni had wanted to eliminate the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto for a long time, but Bakura really didn't expect that Giovanni would want to take action against Lance so soon.

“I’m not joking, Mr. Bakura. If we join forces, our chances of successfully capturing Tamashii are very high.”

Sakaki was not surprised by Bakura's reaction. His voice returned to its magnetic and calm tone as he slowly spoke.

With his and Bakura's strength, even Lance could not defeat them.

If Lance wanted to destroy this Team Rocket base, Giovanni could have easily laid a trap beforehand.

In that case, the chances of Yulongdu escaping will be close to zero!

"I think I already said this when we first met, Mr. Sakaki, please don't mislead me."

Bakura spoke calmly to Sakaki, warning him that he indeed hoped the Kanto League would fight the Rockets to the death.

But they don't want the league to turn its attention to them!

If he really joins forces with Sakaki to eliminate Lance, then the Kanto Alliance will be furious!

He will be completely exposed to the Kanto League, and his identity will be thoroughly investigated by the League. At that time, the Etherland will also be regarded as a traitor by the Pokémon League!

This is extremely detrimental to Bakura's plan.

"Hehe... Mr. Bakura, why be so fixated on a positive identity? As long as we eliminate the Kanto Elite Four, Team Rocket will have no further obstacles in taking over Kanto."

"Our cooperation will be even smoother, Mr. Bakura. With the strength of the Rockets and Etherland, what do we have to fear from the league?"

Sakaki chuckled twice, his magnetic voice slowly reaching Bakura's ears as he tried to persuade him.

He knew that Bakura wanted Ether Paradise to maintain its positive image, since it was certainly very beneficial for Ether Paradise.

However, Giovanni also believes that as long as the Rockets and Etherland cooperate sincerely, the threat from the league will be greatly reduced.

"Mr. Sakaki, you're quite the joker. If you insist on this idea, then I think our cooperation should be terminated."

"Moreover, Mr. Sakaki, if I may be so bold, the Pokémon League has a very deep foundation, and it is not a wise decision to offend the League now."

Bakura replied calmly that he and Sakaki were merely collaborators, not in a superior-subordinate relationship.

He didn't want to agree to Giovanni's request, and Giovanni couldn't threaten him at all.

If Lance is eliminated, it would certainly be good news for the Rockets, as Lance posed a significant threat to them.

Although taking down Yulong Lance would enrage the Kanto Alliance, Giovanni didn't care at all. He could simply lie low for a while and abandon some bases to appease the Alliance.

But for Bakura, it's not that simple! The drawbacks are not commensurate with the benefits.

"That's truly regrettable. Since Mr. Bakura is unwilling, I cannot force him."
