In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

However, the human brain is too complex to guarantee a 100% success rate.

"Ninety percent is enough, but isn't it not a permanent elimination?"

Bakura completely ignored Blue's chatter and pondered for a moment after hearing Deoxys's words.

The odds are already very high, and Xiao Lan shouldn't be that unlucky, but this uncertainty makes Bakura hesitate a bit.

It is said that being stimulated may trigger memories, but the boundary of this stimulus is somewhat blurred.

"Hey! You heard that too, right? This thing is unreliable. Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell anyone about what you're doing!"

"Little brother, I was wrong, sob sob~ Please forgive me, I swear to God!"

Seeing that Bakura was hesitating, Xiaolan hurriedly spoke up again to persuade him, and promised that she could swear an oath.

Well, although Little Blue, who's used to spouting nonsense, is quite naive about things like swearing oaths...

"Oh, petty thieves actually swear oaths?"

Upon hearing this, Campfire couldn't help but chuckle, looking at Little Blue with great interest. It seemed that this girl was truly resistant to hypnosis.

After all, Deoxys himself said that it wasn't 100% successful.

What if something unexpected happens, and she doesn't even get to see her own parents!

"That's not important, it's all about making a living..."

Xiao Lan's pretty face fell. If she had money, why would she have to resort to petty theft?

"You were from Pallet Town before, right?"

Bakura pondered for a moment, then tilted his head slightly and spoke to Xiaolan.

"How did you know?" Xiao Lan was taken aback and subconsciously asked Bakura in return.

She is indeed from TrueNew Town, but outsiders should have no idea that.

After all, she had been taken away by the Masked Man for ten years, and her parents had long since moved away from Pallet Town.

“I not only know that you are from True New Town, but I even know where your parents are.”

Bakura's lips curled into a smile as he gazed at 10 Little Blue.

He suddenly realized, why was he even thinking about erasing Xiao Lan's memory? This girl, though cunning, has a fatal weakness!

……

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you. Where's your ladylike manners?"

In a private room at the hotel restaurant, Bakura watched Xiaolan wolfing down her food and said with amusement.

"Mind your own business! Humph! You really are a bad guy!"

Xiao Lan swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty and glared fiercely at Bakura.

This guy actually threatened me with his parents' whereabouts! Unbelievable!

And... I actually gave in without any backbone...

"Hello? Apollo?"

Bakura smiled and answered the phone that had suddenly rung; it was Apollo calling.

Xiao Lan's ears perked up instantly at the sound; Apollo was a high-ranking officer on the Rockets!

"Yes, I came back with the campfire first. Well, it's okay. After all, no one can predict what might happen with intruders. Maybe next time."

Bakura smiled and chatted with Apollo for a couple of minutes before hanging up the phone.

"Do you still need to say you're not from the Rockets?"

Xiao Lan glanced at Bakura sideways. Judging from Bakura's tone of voice, Apollo's status was clearly even lower than Bakura's.

If you say Bakura isn't a member of the Rockets, I wouldn't believe it.

"It's not Team Rocket. I'm the vice chairman of Alola Etherland. Strictly speaking, I have a cooperative relationship with Team Rocket, so is it strange that Apollo and the others respect me?"

Bakura took a sip of red wine and replied casually, "A cooperative relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her pure and exquisite face showed a thoughtful expression.

She had never left Kanto, so she didn't know about the situation in other regions.

However, if what Bakura said is true, then that so-called Aether Paradise is probably a behemoth no less than Team Rocket!

"Tch~ Anyway, it's just an evil organization that does whatever it wants, just like Team Rocket."

Her eyes flickered, and Xiao Lan curled her lip, speaking with disdain in a contemptuous tone.

Although she is now living under someone else's roof, Xiao Lan is still very unhappy about being threatened in this way.

"Little girl, don't confuse our Etherland with Team Rocket. We are completely different from Team Rocket."

“Etherland is a legitimate and legal company.”

Upon hearing this, Campfire put down his teacup with great displeasure and said to Little Blue with displeasure.

This little girl really doesn't know her place.

"Wow~ You think so? Would a legitimate company partner with Team Rocket?"

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at his words, giving him a look that said, "Don't treat me like an idiot." His words were truly hilarious.

A legitimate company seeking cooperation with an evil organization like Team Rocket? That's obviously suspicious.

"Alright, black and white aren't so easy to distinguish. But how did you suddenly sneak into Team Rocket's base today?"

Bakura smiled and shook his head, then asked Xiaolan curiously.

"Because the investigation revealed a Rockets base here, we're preparing to gather some evidence and send it to the league."

"Little Blue, I'm the hero who wiped out Team Rocket's base!"

Little Blue smacked her lips, then proudly puffed out her chest and said.

Knowing that Bakura and the other person weren't from Team Rocket, she felt much more relaxed. Besides, she was naturally good at disguising herself.

Although she knew that anyone who could cooperate with the Rockets was probably not a good person, Xiao Lan was an exceptionally intelligent girl who understood that many things cannot be generalized.

Besides, she also needs the information about her parents' whereabouts that Bakura mentioned.

"You almost caused a huge mess today. The Rockets are about to make a big move here."

Bakura chuckled softly and spoke slowly.

"A big move?"

"Well, let's just wait and see what happens."

Hearing Bakura's words, Xiao Lan blinked. Something interesting?

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of Rainbow City...

"Let's set it for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and have the police evacuate everyone in that area."

Yu Longdu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling Rainbow City before him, and said calmly.

He'd been in Rainbow City for a week now, and the lack of any action was starting to make him impatient.

"But... regarding the champion, the league hasn't released any information yet."

Rika, standing behind Yulongdu, hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.

Rainbow City is the second largest city in the Kanto region! And Team Rocket's base is located on one of its most bustling streets.

Taking action in Rainbow City rashly would certainly require the Alliance's approval.

"No need to wait anymore. What can those useless old fools see? Lijia, don't you understand? Why haven't you received a response after reporting so many times?"

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yu Longdu's eyes, and his face darkened as his tone gradually turned cold.

There are too many parasites in the coalition of lawmakers these days; power has blinded them.

Even sin, darkness, and evil can be ignored.

“This…” Lijia pursed her lips tightly. How could someone as intelligent as her not understand this?

She was just deceiving herself; she couldn't believe it.

"That's how it is. We'll start evacuating people the day after tomorrow morning. If anyone refuses to leave and gets caught in the crossfire, it's not our fault."

Yu Longdu immediately set out the battle plan, speaking calmly, revealing his growing impatience.

Without the Alliance's restrictions, he would have turned that so-called base into ruins on his very first day in Rainbow City!

“I understand. I’ll go and inform Chief Officer Jenny.”

Rika's expression changed slightly, then she bowed politely to Yulongdu and slowly left the room.

Can't we blame ourselves for the fact that ordinary people are affected?

As she left the room, Rika turned and glanced at Yulongdu's retreating figure.

Is this really okay?

Lance was eager to eliminate Team Rocket, and Rika could sense this, but Lance's state suddenly made Rika feel uneasy.

"The Rockets...a bunch of disgusting rats!"

Looking at Rainbow City under the night sky, Yulongdu's eyes slowly turned cold and gloomy.

He was utterly disgusted with teams like the Rockets!

And it was at this moment that a helicopter descended from the dark night sky and landed on the outskirts of Rainbow City.

A well-dressed, mature middle-aged man stepped off the helicopter, hands in his pockets, and slowly walked into Rainbow City.
