In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

And then there's Orochimaru. Although he doesn't hide his appearance, a trainer with this level of strength has never appeared in the Kanto region before.

Lance remembered the Alola trainer he met in Viridian Forest two months ago.

However, after hearing Konashiba's description of Orochimaru's appearance, he realized that the two looked completely different and were probably not the same person.

However, this does not mean that there is no possibility of disguising or changing one's image.

"The Rockets..." Damaranchi rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. The Rockets were getting stronger and stronger.

This is really not good news.

……

Meanwhile, in Rainbow City...

Although there had been a fierce battle that afternoon, and although the people had different opinions, life had to go on, and many things were not their concern.

Therefore, many shops continue to operate as usual.

"Mmm~ This restaurant's barbecue smells really good."

On a snack street, Bakura, Kadoya, and Xiaolan were strolling around. Xiaolan was holding several skewers of barbecue, eating them with great relish.

With a big boss paying for it, Xiao Lan didn't hold back and treated herself to a good meal.

"Eat as much as you want, we're leaving Rainbow City tomorrow."

Mo looked at Xiao Lan, whose mouth was full of oil, with a smile, and handed her a pack of tissues.

"Huh? Leaving Rainbow City so soon?" Xiao Lan wiped the grease from her mouth and was taken aback by the question.

"Yes, after all, you still have to collect the payment yourself. Would you like to come with us?"

Bakura replied matter-of-factly that Giovanni had already given him Articuno's whereabouts.

However, he still has to go there himself to catch Articuno.

"Me..."

Xiao Lan frowned upon hearing this, and to be honest, she didn't want to continue following Bakura.

After all, they'd only been with the team for two days when something as dangerous as impersonating the Rockets and fighting against the league happened.

But we still haven't found out where our parents are.

"Don't worry about your parents. I will definitely keep my promise. As long as you don't break our agreement, I will definitely tell you their location before the end of the year."

Bakura seemed to have guessed Xiaolan's worries and chuckled as he spoke slowly to her.

With something on him, he wasn't worried that Xiao Lan would dare to disobey him.

"Tch~" Xiao Lan curled her lip. End of the year?

Holy crap! She knew Bakura wouldn't be so kind; it seemed she'd have to wait at least half a year to get any news.

"No, Xiao Lan, I don't want to follow you anymore." Xiao Lan chose to part ways with Bakura without hesitation.

"Okay, then be careful. Xiao Yin should be in Kanto right now, and Rika Ichiki and the other two should be catching up with us too."

Bakura was not surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he gave Xiaolan a warning.

"Hey?"

Xiao Lan was stunned upon hearing this, and turned to look at Bakura in astonishment.

How did he know about Xiaoyin Lihua and the others? And why did Lihua Yishu come to Kanto?

Am I pretty?

How do you know about Xiao Yin and the others?

Ran looked at Bakura with suspicion and uncertainty. Gin was her only close colleague in the Visored, practically her younger brother. And Rika and Ichiki…

"Don't make a fuss, this is the main street." Bakura glanced at Xiao Lan who had stopped and said irritably.

Although I can understand Xiao Lan's feelings, this is not a suitable place for such strange behavior; people will think she's crazy.

Hearing this, Xiaolan snapped out of her daze, silently munching on the barbecue in her hand and catching up with Bakura's pace. However, at this moment, she no longer found the barbecue in her hand particularly delicious.

"I went to Tokyo for a while before, and I guess I ran into the three of them by chance."

Bakura explained slowly, knowing that Xiaolan must have many questions in her mind at this moment.

"You're really lucky. With such a low level of skill, you've managed to evade Pear Blossom's pursuit all this time."

"But it's really strange. You're from the same organization, so how come your strength and Xiao Yin's are so different from Li Hua Yi Shu's?"

Bakura then looked at Xiao Lan with a strange gaze; in fact, he was quite curious.

Strictly speaking, both Xiao Lan and Xiao Yin have very good talents.

Strangely, when Xiao Lan and Xiao Yin left the Masked Organization, they were both incredibly weak.

"Tch~ They're willing to serve that old monster, but we're different."

Xiao Lan fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then curled her lips into a disdainful smile and said contemptuously.

She is completely different from Gin and Rika Ichiki. Rika Ichiki and Rika are perhaps different because of their personalities, even though they were kidnapped by the Masked Man.

But in the end, he accepted the Masked Man and was willing to serve him.

Therefore, the cultivation of the masked man was done with all its might by the pear blossom tree, absorbing and growing.

But Little Blue and Little Silver are different; they are even terrifying yet hate the Masked Man.

"Anyway, you'd better be careful. Rika is now a champion-level trainer. If she catches you, it won't be so easy for you to escape."

Bakura remained noncommittal upon hearing this, which shows that everyone has different thoughts and personalities.

If he were in Xiao Lan's situation, he would definitely choose to follow the Masked Man and receive his training and guidance to grow up as quickly as possible.

However, it's not wrong for Xiao Lan to hate evil, because the Masked Man destroyed her originally happy and harmonious family. It's already quite remarkable that she didn't directly confront the Masked Man for ten years but instead lay low.

"Pear blossoms..."

Xiao Lan Dai frowned. She didn't doubt that Bakura was lying to her, because it wouldn't benefit Bakura at all.

So, does that mean Rika really became the champion? That woman with the nasty personality who's so unlikeable?

Although she knew that Pear Blossom was very talented, Xiao Lan never expected that Pear Blossom would leave her so far behind...

"What? Scared?"

Bakura turned to look at Xiaolan, and seeing the worry hidden on Xiaolan's delicate face, he chuckled softly.

In fact, Xiao Lan's talent is really good. After all, he is one of the main characters in the original work, and he later subdued the three divine birds.

However, compared to those top geniuses, he is somewhat lacking.

"Hmph! I'm not afraid of her at all!" Xiao Lan retorted defiantly.

She will never lose to Pear Blossom!

Bakura smiled but didn't say anything. He was just teasing Xiao Lan. With Xiao Lan's quirky personality and clever mind, it would be very difficult for Pear Blossom Tree to catch her.

After strolling around the streets and having a late-night snack, Bakura and his two companions returned to the hotel.

"Lord Bakura, if we want to go to Twin Islands, we need to take a boat to Crimson Island first."

In Bakura's room, Bakura leaned against the bedside table smoking, while Kagari was studying a map.

"Then let's go to Crimson Lotus Island first."

Bakura nodded. According to the location given by Sakaki, Articuno was located in a cave on an island called Twin Islands in the Kanto Sea.

Bakura also remembered Twin Islands; they were indeed not far from Crimson Island.

The Rockets will definitely be lying low for a while, after all, the commotion they caused this time was quite significant.

Bakura really should think carefully about his next move.

"Guren Island is a very famous hot spring resort, Lord Bakura, let's go soak in the hot springs~"

The campfire blinked, put down the map, and looked at Bakura expectantly.

Hot springs... If I could soak in a hot spring with Lord Bakura, the campfire would be so exciting it would make me feel like I could fly.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Bakura chuckled and agreed. Crimson Island is a famous volcanic island, and the hot spring industry has sprung up there.

It is also one of the most famous tourist resorts in the Kanto region, and there is a dojo on Guren Island.

That is, the Crimson Lotus Gym, where Blaine is the gym leader!

"Speaking of Blaine, perhaps we could talk to him about Mewtwo."

Bakura's eyes flickered slightly. Bakura had never forgotten Mewtwo, but because he didn't know where New Island was, he also couldn't know how far Mewtwo's plan had progressed.

····Requesting flowers·····

"By the way, Lord Bakura, Zaobo called while you were showering, saying he had something to discuss with you."

Then, lighting his chin with the campfire, he reminded Bakura.

"I understand." Bakura was taken aback upon hearing this, took out his phone, and nodded.

Indeed, he didn't inquire much about Zaobo's progress in Carlos, since Bakura had some confidence in Zaobo and Guzma's abilities.

As long as they don't go too far and anger Team Flare, and things proceed smoothly, Zaobo and his companion should be able to manage...

Hmm, probably...

Bakura dialed Zaobo's number, and it was answered after only two rings.

"Yo~ Zaobo, how have you been lately?" Bakura greeted Zaobo with a light laugh.

"Young Master Bakura... um... would you be able to come to the Carlos region?"
