In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Upon hearing this, Bakura curled his lips into a disdainful smile and shook his head at Makoto.

"Forgive my bluntness, but I was actually preparing for this last year. Archie, the leader of Team Magma Aqua in the Hoenn region, is a brainless piece of trash, while Red Pine, although intelligent, lacks strength."

“Team Galactic in the Sinnoh region, although Sun may seem ambitious, is just a dreamer who only wants to guard his little corner of Sinnoh and has no ambition whatsoever. He is not worth using.”

"Red Sun has no chance against Cynthia. Team Galactic will be completely wiped out by the Sinnoh League sooner or later."

"N, the leader of Team Plasma in the Unova region... Excuse my bluntness, but he's still just a child."

Bakura sarcastically listed out all the major evil organizations in the other regions that terrified ordinary people.

He really looked down on these rotten fish and shrimp.

In reality, although N is the king of Team Plasma, the one who truly holds the power is Quigish.

Ghettos is a very ambitious and indeed quite capable person. Team Plasma is arguably the strongest evil organization besides Team Rocket.

N is a champion-level trainer and one of the heroes of the ideal world, which means that N must be a legendary trainer!

He will definitely gain the recognition and following of either the black dragon Zekrom or the white dragon Reshiram!

Quixote is also very powerful, and Team Plasma has revived Genesis, giving them a Genesis army!

"Hehe... Mr. Bakura certainly has high standards."

Sakaki listened carefully to Bakura's evaluation, chuckled twice, and thought that this boy was indeed very knowledgeable about the forces in various regions.

However, if that's the case, once Team Rocket truly conquers the Johto region, they can then develop their forces towards Hoenn.

Of course, firstly, the Crimson Flame Pine and the Water Wutong Tree are indeed as useless as Bakura said.

Chapter 66 Sakaki's Headache (Seeking Support)

"If Mr. Bakura looks down on these organizations, why did he choose my Team Rocket as a partner?"

Masato refilled Sakaki's teacup, then looked up at Bakura again and asked in a deep voice. Although Bakura said so, Masato did not truly underestimate the evil organizations in the other major regions.

After all, which of these organizations that have grown into renowned regional entities amidst the constant scrutiny of the alliance is truly simple?

She had read the information about the Alola region and knew that the reason why Aether Paradise was able to dominate the Alola region was because of its deep-rooted strength.

However, this is also related to the fact that the Alola region did not form a league. Without the pressure brought by the league, Aether Paradise naturally developed smoothly.

Judging from Bakura's current situation, Aether Paradise's appetite extends far beyond the Alola region. Doesn't this mean they're already trying to reach the Kalos region?

Because there was no pressure from the alliance, Etherland developed extremely smoothly, so it must be very strong. Therefore, Shin-Tori was extremely wary of and valued Bakura.

Especially considering Bakura's previous trainer strength, which was already comparable to Giovanni's!

Although Bakura had saved Athena and made amends with them, Masato still harbored doubts about Bakura.

Sakaki took another sip of tea, remaining silent and waiting for Bakura's reply.

Masato was his trusted secretary, and Masato knew him very well, so Masato's question was actually equivalent to his question.

"I have long admired Mr. Sakaki's strength and wisdom. To be able to become the head of one of the eight gyms in the Kanto region right under the nose of the League Headquarters, his abilities already surpass those of other regions by more than just one gym?"

"Furthermore, I have learned about the history of Team Rocket. Mr. Giovanni took over Team Rocket from his mother when it was just an unknown small organization and developed it into the behemoth it is today."

"I think it would be a very pleasant and win-win situation to be able to work with someone like Mr. Sakaki, wouldn't you say?"

Bakura calmly stated his point of view, and his meaning was quite clear.

He valued the abilities of Rockets leader Giovanni Sakaki and believed that only through cooperation between the two sides could they truly profit.

After all, no one wants their partner to be a stupid idiot. Of course, this isn't always the case; in certain special circumstances, it might be better if the partner is a fool.

Upon hearing this, Makoto frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and looked at Sakaki. She couldn't see the problem with Bakura's answer.

"Mr. Bakura is indeed a straightforward person. However, regarding the conditions Mr. Bakura proposed, my subordinates have already secured most of the Johto region."

With a faint smile, Sakaki said slowly that the three beast warriors of Johto were sufficient to handle the situation and there was no need for Ether Paradise to intervene and provide support.

In fact, being able to connect with Etherland is something that is dispensable for the Rockets.

After all, the two regions are too far apart, but it's not impossible; having more friends is always better than having more enemies.

Especially now that the two of them are also under the weight of the behemoth that is the Elf League.

"What about Mr. Sakaki's thoughts?" Bakura raised an eyebrow, not too surprised.

The Kanto region is much larger than other regions, after all, the name Kanto is now a combination of the two places, Kanto and Jodo.

However, Kanto only has one alliance, and the alliance headquarters is located on the Quartz Plateau, while the center of the alliance is in the Kanto region.

The defenses of Johto were already insufficient, and the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto could not possibly cover both sides.

The Rockets' main players are still in Kanto!

"We are certainly willing to fully support your development in the Ekalos region. As long as Etherland needs support, Team Rocket will definitely do our duty without hesitation."

With his fingers lightly tapping the table, Sakaki's mature face wore a perfect smile, and his deep eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

Whether Ether Paradise goes to the Carlos region or not is none of his business. What good is verbal support?

Whether or not Etherland can take over the underground world of the Carlos region has nothing to do with Giovanni.

It's mainly for his own benefit!

Bakura hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Sakaki, waiting for him to continue.

He was very curious to know what Sakaki's conditions were.

“Mr. Bakura should know very well that the Kanto region is very large, but at the same time, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region are also the strongest in the world.”

"To be honest, these four kings have caused my Rockets a lot of trouble and caused me heavy losses."

Sakaki spoke at a measured pace, but his magnetic voice carried a deep chill.

Lance is extremely hostile to Team Rocket, an illegal and evil organization, and has destroyed many of Team Rocket bases over the years.

However, Giovanni was also extremely dissatisfied with the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings led by Wataru, and both sides were hostile to each other.

Bakura's eyelids twitched upon hearing this; he understood what Sakaki meant.

Sakaki wants to recruit the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto!

“Mr. Sakaki, you’re putting me in a difficult position. You should know very well that even with my full support, it’s impossible for the two of us to deal with all four of them.”

Bakura shook his head without hesitation, effectively shutting down Giovanni's next words; his brain wasn't fried yet.

If Sakaki offered to deal with the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto as a condition, Bakura would absolutely never agree.

Chapter 67 Kyogre's Primal Return ( )

Team Rocket, led by Giovanni, was a ruthless and lawless evil organization within the Pokémon League. As the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni naturally wanted to eliminate the Kanto Elite Four, who opposed him.

Sakaki and Wataru were both the kind of people who wished the other dead; they had extremely distinct opposing stances.

But Bakura is different; there's no need for him to fight to the death with the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto now.

Not to mention helping Sakaki take down the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto.

Putting aside whether the two of them could defeat the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, even if they could, Bakura would absolutely not agree.

While Bakura does want Alola to break away from the Pokémon League and become independent, he cannot openly express this intention at least for now.

In particular, the fact that they are involved with Team Rocket must not be revealed to the Pokémon League!

"Mr. Sakaki, I've come here sincerely to discuss cooperation with you. Please don't mislead me."

Bakura looked at Sakaki with displeasure and said indifferently.

Although Giovanni didn't say it explicitly, he specifically mentioned the trouble the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto had caused him, and even a pig could understand what he meant.

"Hehe... Mr. Bakura, there's no need for that. I was just complaining. May I ask how long you plan to stay in the Kanto region?"

Sakaki saw Bakura was indeed somewhat dissatisfied, chuckled twice, and changed the subject, not continuing to talk about the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings.

He probably understood Bakura's thoughts; the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto were an extremely tough nut to crack.

On the other hand, although Ether Paradise is ambitious, it maintains an excellent reputation, at least on the surface.

This is also because Alola does not have a regional league, and Bakura does not want to lose the benefits brought by this reputation.

Openly helping Giovanni fight the Kanto Elite Four is tantamount to openly becoming an enemy of the Pokémon League!

This is completely disproportionate to the Rockets' return to Etherland.

"I have no plans to leave at the moment; Guandu is a very good place."

Bakura glanced at Sakaki and shook his head; this guy still hadn't given up.

After all, there are very few trainers in the world with their level of skill.

Moreover, Bakura is the type of person you can cooperate with, so Giovanni certainly wouldn't give up on him easily.

He wanted to use Bakura's sword to help him get rid of the four troublesome Kanto Four Heavenly Kings!

Although the Rockets have many talented players, their quality is high enough to compensate for their lack of quantity.

However, Bakura's appearance gave the Rockets a chance to defeat the Kanto Elite Four head-on!

"I see. Mr. Bakura, please take a good rest. As for our cooperation, please allow me to consider it further."

"Of course, whether or not we cooperate, the Rockets are very happy to establish a good friendship with Etherland."

Sakaki stood up and smiled gently at Bakura, speaking slowly.

"Of course, I understand that Mr. Sakaki needs to consider such an important matter."

Bakura also stood up and nodded. The close cooperation between the two behemoths was certainly no small matter.

However, Bakura knew very well that Giovanni was probably not thinking about anything else, but rather how to get him to willingly cooperate with Team Rocket to fight against the Kanto League!

Bakura's displayed combat prowess was simply too captivating, something Bakura himself had anticipated.
