In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"Alright, go and rest for a bit. You've been very tired these past few days."

Bakura smiled gently at the campfire, saying that he also needed to go back and take a good bath and rest.

The two went back to their rooms to rest for the next period of time.

Bakura spent his time peacefully accompanying Lillie and the other two girls around Alola, and training new Pokémon.

He also selected an Ultra Beast to supplement his handheld Pokémon, bringing his total to six.

Time flies, and half a month later, the New Year's bell rang, and a brand new year arrived.

"You're going to Kanto?"

In the chairman's office of Etherland, Rosamund, dressed in a white fitted outfit, sat on the sofa, her brows slightly furrowed as she looked at Bakura.

"Yes, Kukui contacted me the day before yesterday. He had already contacted Hala and the others to discuss the gym and the establishment of the main stadium."

"I think my older sister should have received the news by now."

Bakura sat on the sofa, gently spinning a red Poké Ball in his hand, and smiled at Lusamine.

Since there is no Pokémon League in the Alola region, the four main islands are governed by island kings.

If the island king agrees, then Bakura's plan can be carried out.

"That's right, as you requested, I've already agreed to invest the funds, but..."

Lusamine nodded; Bakura had already discussed this with her last year.

But Rosamina was still a little worried. Wouldn't this be too high-profile?

Although Aether Paradise is the largest power in Alola, it is only famous in Alola.

However, once funds are invested in building gyms and tournament venues, Aether Paradise's reputation will skyrocket and it will come into the sights of the Pokémon League.

"It's alright, the League isn't that petty. Besides, the League doesn't even look at Alora right now."

Bakura shook his head. As the world's overlord, the Pokémon League wasn't that narrow-minded.

It is divided into various regions, with its headquarters located in Kanto, which is very far from Alora.

Moreover, Team Rocket, the underground powerhouse of Kanto, is still very active, and they have already set their sights on Johto.

With the Kanto region busy dealing with Team Rocket, how can they possibly have much energy to focus on Alola?

Although the Pokémon League is unimaginably large, the relationships between its various regions are far from as good as one might imagine.

Moreover, news of preparations for the World Championships was already released last year. What is the World Championships?

Unlike regional tournaments, this is a competition for trainers all over the world! It's a competition about the glory of one's own region!

For every trainer, the World Championships is the dream stage!

For regional leagues, the tournament is also the best opportunity to showcase their reputation!

All the regions are gearing up for the World Championships, which may be coming at any time, and are all waiting to embarrass other regions.

Who would care too much about a region that hasn't even established a sub-alliance?

"Big sister, this is the best opportunity. If we really wait for the League to agree to establish a branch League in Alola..."

"Then, if Ether Paradise wants to take it a step further, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."

Bakura looked at Rusamine's hesitant face and smiled slowly.

Rosamune is ambitious and capable, but perhaps she is ultimately a woman.

He always hesitates when making important decisions, but what can he do? She's his older sister.

Chapter 31 Only Crimson Offers a Challenge (Seeking Everything)

Lusamine glanced at Bakura. This child has really grown up.

"Since you want to do it, then I'll leave it entirely to you, Bakura. But if there's any danger, I hope you'll think twice before you act."

"In any case, Ether Paradise will fully support whatever decision you make."

Lusamine took a deep breath, stared intently at Bakura, and said in a deep voice.

She knew very well that as Bakura grew older, his ambitions and aspirations also grew.

The Ether Paradise was able to develop into what it is today thanks to Bakura's painstaking efforts.

But now, Aether Paradise has become the largest power in Alola, yet Bakura is still not satisfied.

Lusamine could sense this, but she couldn't stop it, because it was Bakura's dream.

It is also proof that he is working hard for his family.

Bakura's plan is so grand that if it fails, Ether Paradise will become the target of everyone's criticism.

However, Rusamine still chose to trust Bakura.

"Please rest assured, elder sister, I will not do anything I am not sure of."

Bakura pursed his lips upon hearing this, his wine-red eyes lowered, and he could feel a peculiar emotion churning within his chest.

That was the feeling of being deeply trusted.

Why go to Kanto?

Lusamine gracefully smoothed her golden bangs, revealed a smile, and changed the subject, asking Bakura curiously.

She was not good at dealing with this kind of tenderness because she was Rosamund.

"Team Rocket in Kanto is very powerful, so perhaps we could cooperate. Besides, the current Kanto Elite Four..."

Bakura chuckled softly, a playful glint in his handsome face.

Although he has only been active in the Sinnoh and Hoenn regions for the past two years, it does not mean that he is unaware of what is happening in other regions.

Especially Kanto, which is known as the strongest region!

This world is a fusion of the game, anime, and special episodes of the spirit world. Bakura doesn't actually know its exact development trajectory unless he tries to find out.

But after two years of gathering information, he has come to a rough conclusion.

"The Rockets..."

Lusamine frowned slightly. Alola was too far from Kanto. Although she had heard of Team Rocket, she didn't know much about them.

"Is Team Rocket strong?" Lusamine asked doubtfully. Team Rocket is an organization active in the Kanto region.

The headquarters of the Pokémon League is also located in Kanto!

With the strongest Elite Four, led by Lance, stationed at the Indigo Plateau, how strong can Team Rocket be?

"Very strong. The leader of the Rockets is a true tyrant. His strength is not only no less than that of Lancelot, but his strategy and magnanimity are also top-notch."

"The three executives, the four generals, the three beast warriors, and the other senior executives, all of them are at the average level of ordinary Elite Four trainers."

Bakura's lips slowly curled into a smile as he toyed with the red Poké Ball in his hand, his eyes gleaming slightly.

Team Omega Rocket, led by Giovanni, is the strongest villainous organization in the entire Pokémon history, second only to Team Rainbow Rocket. They are truly terrifying!

The three top officers need no introduction, the four generals are equally formidable, and the three beast warriors are certainly no weaker than the four generals.

On average, even the weakest of these ten people are at least close to the top level!

"Hiss~ Doesn't the Alliance care about them?"

Upon hearing this, even Lusamine couldn't help but gasp. What did it mean to have ten Elite Four level trainers?

The Heavenly King is the strongest force in each region! The peace of each region is due to the presence of the regional Heavenly King!

Aside from the champion, the Elite Four member is the strongest trainer!

The leader of Team Rocket is also a top-tier champion trainer who is no less skilled than Lance.

This Rockets team is almost stronger than an entire region!

It's no wonder that the Rockets have been able to grow to their current size right under the noses of the Kanto League.

"Big sister, don't overthink it. You are also a Champion-level trainer. You should know very well that even among Champions, the difference in combat strength is enormous."

"Even the weakest of the four Kanto Elite Four members, Hibakona, is a top-tier Elite Four member. It wouldn't be too difficult for them to suppress the high-ranking members of Team Rocket."

Bakura shook his head and explained slowly with a smile.

Even among Elite Four level trainers, the combat power of a top Elite Four trainer far surpasses that of an ordinary Elite Four level trainer.

"Lancer, Kikuko, Shiba, Kona..."

Lusamine frowned, looking directly at the Kanto Elite Four for the first time, because she herself was a formidable trainer.

Lusamine will not underestimate the Four Heavenly Kings from other regions, but she will not take them too seriously either.

But Bakura's words now prove that the power of the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings is real!

"Yes, these four people are very interesting."

Bakura grinned. The Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto were terrifyingly strong, but according to the little information he had obtained...

The Kanto Four Heavenly Kings mentioned here are very likely the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings from the special episode!

That means there are many places where you can operate.

Because the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings in the special episode are villains! But in terms of strength, the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings in the special episode are the strongest of the three versions.

With Dragon Hakuryu, Lance could easily destroy the entire bustling city of Vermilion, and Kikuko and her two companions also possessed the combat power to easily annihilate a city.

That's terrifying!
