In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Moreover, the intelligence and strength of the people in this world are outstanding, so it is not impossible for them to gain Mewtwo's approval.

In that case, Giovanni will be in a difficult position to deal with. Although Aether Paradise is currently cooperating with Team Rocket, Bakura has no real intention of letting Team Rocket develop.

"Lord Tapirang~"

Just then, a soft call came to Bakura's ear as he was deep in thought.

"what happened?"

Bakura snapped out of his daze, glanced at the campfire, and realized that it had moved to his side without him noticing.

"Um... shall I rub your back for you?"

Bonfire's little face was slightly red, whether from the heat of the hot spring or from some shy thoughts in her heart, it was hard to tell.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you~." Bakura nodded, smiled gently at the campfire, and then turned around.

"Hehe~" Upon hearing this, the campfire smiled sweetly and carefully folded a towel, gently wiping Bakura's back.

After hesitating for a moment, Campfire looked at Bakura's back and spoke softly.

"Hey~ Lord Bakura."

"Ok?"

"You've met so many girls along the way, haven't you ever had any thoughts about them?"

The campfire asked Bakura curiously, "They've been in Kanto for over two months now."

During this period, the two also met many people, especially girls of all kinds.

Although they all have different appearances and temperaments—some are pure, some are cute, some are dignified, some are noble, and some are shy—they all have one thing in common: they are all very beautiful!

But the campfire seemed to offer no indication that Bakura was ever tempted...

Why? Or does Bakura already have someone he likes? Or does Lord Bakura simply not like girls?

But that doesn't make sense. The campfire often subtly or overtly provides Bakura with some perks, and she can also sense that Bakura sometimes shows her some masculine feelings.

"What nonsense are you thinking, you little brat?" Bakura was taken aback when he heard this, and then said to the campfire in an annoyed tone.

"Hehe~ Tell me, Lord Bakura, I'm really curious~"

With a playful laugh, he threw down the towel in his hand, climbed onto Bakura's back, wrapped his arms around Bakura's neck, and said...

"It's not that I have no ideas, it's just..."

Bakura thought about it after hearing this, and indeed, of all the girls he had met along the way, only May had ever stirred his heart.

May is a perfect woman: gentle, intellectual, elegant, and dignified. Basically, you can hardly see any flaws in May.

But it was only a fleeting moment of attraction, and that attraction mainly stemmed from the feeling of being taken care of so meticulously by May.

"Just what?" Campfire blinked, asking with great curiosity.

"Right now, I'm focusing more on other things and haven't thought about relationships yet."

Bakura pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied that while he had high emotional intelligence, he preferred to let matters of the heart take their natural course.

In fact, he had no experience in pursuing girls...

"Huh?" Campfire was taken aback by the question and uttered his signature puzzled expression.

"Lord Bakura is really cunning." After regaining his senses, Campfire complained with dissatisfaction.

What do you mean by "I haven't thought about this yet"? In Bonfire's opinion, it just means that Bakura doesn't want to tell her.

"Really, and to be honest, with such a beautiful woman like you by my side, even if I had any designs on you, wouldn't I make my move on you first, you idiot?"

Bakura rolled his eyes and replied helplessly.

To be honest, this girl doesn't believe me. Besides, hasn't she always had feelings for me?

Why am I asking myself this kind of question now?

"Hehe~ I love hearing what you said, Lord Bakura. Here's a reward for you."

Upon hearing this, Campfire beamed with joy. Although he had been called an idiot, Campfire said he didn't care about such details at all.

"A reward?" Bakura was taken aback upon hearing this.

But in an instant, he understood that the campfire was rubbing his back again.

but……

The sensation on my back had changed; it was incredibly soft...

Because this girl was still clinging to Bakura.

"This reward is really good."

Bakura mentally gave the campfire a thumbs up, wondering where it had learned to do so.

……

For the next week, Bakura and Kakeru spent their time exploring Crimson Island.

Until this day.

"Hello? Is this Zaobo?"

On the beach chair, Bakura lazily spoke into the phone; it was a call from Zaobo.

“That’s right, Master Bakura, it’s me.”

"What's wrong now?"

"(Okay) Hehe... Um, could you please come to Carlos? It's like this, the Skull Team is having some trouble..."

Zaobo said softly, his tone very cautious.

"Team Skull? They're fighting Team Flare?"

Bakura frowned slightly upon hearing this. Guzma's strength was quite impressive. Apart from the League, only Team Flare in the Kalos region could probably defeat Team Skull.

"Yes, and Guzma too... he's in jail now..."

Zaobo, with a mournful face, still managed to explain the current situation with difficulty.

"Going to jail?"

Bakura was stunned upon hearing this, and asked Zaobo a question word by word.

Damn these useless bastards! We were supposed to be developing peacefully in the Carlos region, but they ended up getting themselves arrested!

"I told you to develop well in Carlos, and you're telling me that Guzma has been arrested and sent to a labor camp?"

Bakura snapped out of his daze, stood up with a grim expression, and questioned Zaobo in a dark tone, "I told you to behave yourselves, and after only a little over a month, one of your leaders is in a labor camp?"

Is that really a perfect answer?

It seems I overestimated these two guys, actually believing they could handle the tasks I assigned them.

"...I'm very sorry, but..."

Zaobo's voice grew weaker, and he could tell that Bakura was clearly getting angry.

"Alright, I don't want to hear your explanation. Just tell me, what exactly happened?"

Bakura interrupted Zaobo directly, speaking in a deep voice.

What he wanted to know now was the specific details of what happened, not Zaobo's embellished explanations.

Guzma has actually been arrested. It's not difficult to deal with this; just spend some money and wait a while to get him out.

But if the root cause isn't addressed, and they get pulled out only to be arrested again, it's completely useless.

"The expansion of the Ether Paradise Foundation branch is still going strong, so there aren't any major problems. However, the Skull Team is..."

203 "When they were seizing territory in Haruka City, they clashed with Team Flare."

Zaobo swallowed hard. Bakura's voice intimidated him, but he still forced himself to explain to Bakura.

"and then?"

Bakura frowned slightly. Haruka City is a city located between the sea and the mountains, surrounded by many bicycle tracks.

In that case, there would naturally be a lot of biker gangs, which would indeed be a good fit for the Skull Team's development.

"At first, Team Skull had the upper hand, but Team Flare quickly sent in an officer, and Guzma was no match for him."

"Then why not retreat? I've already said we should try to avoid direct confrontation with Team Flare!"

Bakura walked to a secluded corner and, upon hearing this, sternly rebuked him.

"Guzma has already backed down, but Team Flare has been relentless and persistent, seemingly trying to drive Team Skull out of the Carlos region completely."

Zaobo said with some grievance, "We have always kept Bakura's instructions in mind, but he just won't let go."

Bakura frowned slightly upon hearing this; he really couldn't blame these two.

Ultimately, the Skull Team is an outside force, a fact that can be easily understood with a little investigation of the Flame Team.

It's perfectly normal to reject the Skull team.

"How long have you been fighting Team Flare?" Bakura asked Zaobo after a moment's thought.

"About ten days."

"Ten days? Why didn't you notify me? Didn't you contact Team Rocket or Onee-sama?" Bakura's face turned cold again.

"The Rockets have sent fifty people to help, but they haven't sent any executives..."

“Young Master Gladio has already arrived in Carlos, but he is no match for that Flame Team executive.”

Zaobo replied timidly, his heart pounding with fear. He had already prepared to ask Bakura for help.

But he only received the news in the afternoon that Guzma had been taken to the police station...

"I've come in person; you should refrain from making any rash moves for the time being."
