In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

After bidding farewell to Sakaki, Bakura left the guest room with a campfire.

"Boss, do you really want to use him to deal with Yulongdu and the others?"

After Bakura and the other two left, Masato turned around and faced Sakaki, his brows furrowed as he asked a question.

"Forgive my bluntness, but this might backfire. He's showing great resistance."

Makoto hesitated for a moment before speaking. She knew Sakaki very well, and she was afraid that Sakaki had not given up on this idea at all.

"Wow, if the Rockets want to go further, getting rid of Lance is imperative."

Sakaki's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a deep, cold light as he spoke indifferently.

Lance and Lorelei, two of the Kanto Elite Four, were extremely hostile to Team Rocket, more so than anyone else in the league.

Because their love for Pokémon far surpasses that of ordinary people, they have zero tolerance for organizations like Team Rocket that use Pokémon for inhumane experiments!

The recent incident with Athena further proves this point; the Dragon Ferry has become fundamentally distorted and even dares to directly kill Athena!

If things continue like this, it will be impossible for the Rockets to develop. After all, there is only one Giovanni, and he cannot protect the Rockets teams in various places at all times.

But besides Giovanni, who else on the Rockets can deal with Lance and Kona?

"So what does the boss plan to do?" Makoto remained silent upon hearing this. As Sakaki's secretary, she was naturally very familiar with Team Rocket's situation.

"His reluctance to engage in a direct conflict with the Elf Alliance is indeed quite troublesome."

Sakaki lay back on the leather sofa, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his face lost in thought.

Although we haven't known each other for long, it's clear that Bakura, despite his young age, is quite mature and experienced in his dealings with others, and also very perceptive.

That's true. It's normal for someone to have cultivated to this level at this age, with talent and wisdom far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Moreover, what Shin-tori said makes sense. If Bakura is used too simply, it may backfire and offend Bakura.

If he fails to deal with the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, he might offend the behemoth that is Ether Paradise instead. This is not what Giovanni wants to see!

This is really a headache.

Sakaki gently rubbed his temples; it had been a long time since anything had taken such a toll on his mental energy.

……

After leaving the Viridian Gym, Bakura accompanied Kabiki on a stroll around Viridian City until nightfall, when the two returned to their hotel to get some rest.

Bright stars are reflected in the night sky, their dazzling light twinkling. In the stillness of the night, the scene is incredibly beautiful, allowing one to relax and unwind.

"We still need to get the Rockets into a direct confrontation with the league, preferably a few major battles, so that the league's attention will be fully focused on the Rockets."

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Bakura, dressed in white pajamas, lay on a bench, holding a glass of red wine, looking quite content.

However, Bakura's eyes were filled with deep thought as he pondered how to get the Rockets to fight the league to the death.

As for the Rockets' fate, what does that have to do with him?

Just then, a pink glimmer of light flew in from the distant sky and stopped outside Bakura's window.

As the light flickered, a delicate, petite cat-shaped spirit slowly appeared, tilting its head and looking at Bakura with curiosity and innocence, its long tail swaying gently in the air.

"Meow~?"

"Meow~?"

The pink fairy emitted a melodious, ethereal chirp, tilting its head as it floated in mid-air, gazing at Bakura through the floor-to-ceiling window. Its large, clear eyes sparkled with innocent curiosity.

Fantasy! One of the oldest legends in the Kanto region.

"However, Sakaki is very calm and cautious. He would not launch a large-scale campaign unless he had an absolute advantage or a chance of winning."

"Should I really go help him? Even if I disguise myself, there's no guarantee my identity won't be discovered... um..."

Bakura took a small sip of red wine, frowned, and continued to ponder the Rockets' situation.

Sakaki is not a simple person; for him to carry out large-scale activities, there must be enough benefits for him to be willing to take the risks.

Most importantly, the Rockets' top-tier strength is inferior to that of the Kanto League. The existence of the Kanto Elite Four is enough to intimidate any organization in the world!

However, Bakura did not want to expose himself to the opposition of the alliance at this time. Even if he disguised himself, he could not guarantee that he would not be seen through.

After thinking it over, Bakura still had a headache and looked up, intending to look at the scenery outside the window to ease his mind.

But as soon as he turned his head, his eyes met those of a pink fairy outside the window.

"???" Bakura looked completely bewildered...

"Dreamlike?" Bakura snapped out of his daze, looking at the petite pink sprite with a strange expression.

How did Dream end up here?

Even after being discovered, Mew wasn't afraid. It blinked, hugged its tail, and stared at Bakura with an innocent look on its face.

Then, a faint white light flickered around Mew, and in the blink of an eye, Mew appeared in Bakura's room.

This is teleportation, a supernatural ability.

"Mmm?" Mew flew slowly around the room, finally landing in front of Bakura. Its big eyes kept looking at Bakura, and it made a curious chirping sound.

"...I don't understand what you're saying. Telepathy? You can do telepathy, right?"

Bakura raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and asked Meng Huan.

He didn't have any special abilities, and he couldn't understand the language of the elves.

Although he didn't know why Mew had suddenly appeared, Bakura couldn't sense any hostility from Mew.

The official description of it is that, in essence, Dream is a legendary spirit rich in wisdom, curiosity, childlike innocence, kindness, and dedication.

But it is precisely because of this innocence that the dream becomes exceptionally terrifying when it is filled with anger.

Normally, however, Dream is an incredibly cute and adorable legend, which is the natural sensory experience its appearance evokes.

Bakura had no intention of harming Mew. Although he coveted Mew, having witnessed its power, Bakura never considered using force to subdue it.

Therefore, he is not afraid of fantasy at all.

Upon hearing Bakura's words, Yume tilted her head in confusion, a look of bewilderment in her eyes.

What is telepathy?

"Um... you have the ability to communicate with us, right?" Bakura's eyelids twitched. Who said that Dream is full of wisdom?

Dream blinked; it seemed to understand a little.

"Mi? Is this telepathy?"

A clear, childlike voice appeared in Bakura's ears. It was very pleasant to hear, soft and sweet, and made him feel as if he had been healed.

Thinking of his own clumsy, flightless, deep, and rugged telepathic voice, Bakura felt that the dreamlike telepathic voice was absolutely gorgeous!

"Yes, Dream, what brings you here? Those people probably won't let this go easily today."

Bakura took a bag of cookies and snacks from the bedside table, handed it to Yume, and asked curiously.

He was genuinely puzzled as to why the Dream would appear before him. The Dream is a legend of a pure heart, and it usually only appears in front of truly pure-hearted people.

But Bakura doesn't consider himself a pure person.

"You smell like it, mia~ It smells so good, mia!"

With its two tiny little hands holding a bag of cookies, Dream used its superpowers to control a cookie to fly to its mouth and take a bite. Its two big eyes immediately lit up.

Satisfied, childlike voice reached Bakura's ears.

"I see, it's because of Groudon..." Bakura understood upon hearing this; it seemed that this Mew knew Groudon.

That makes sense, though. Groudon warned Bakura when they first entered Viridian Forest, as it sensed Mew.

Conversely, it's possible that Mew also sensed Groudon's presence at that time.

"That big guy actually chose to become a trainer, it's unbelievable, Mimi~"

While floating with a bag of cookies in its arms, Mewtwo looked at Bakura with curiosity. It was this surprising thing that made it take the initiative to find Bakura.

····Requesting flowers···········

"After all, your lives are so long, you should find something meaningful to do, right?"

Bakura chuckled softly upon hearing this, his eyes flashing as he looked at Yume, after all, she was a god in this world.

Perhaps Mew's free-spirited nature makes it impossible for it to understand why Groudon would choose a human as its partner.

"Hmm~ that seems to make sense." Dreamy was taken aback when she heard this, then adorably nibbled on her little hand, and after a long while, she nodded in agreement.

"But humans are so mean! They attacked me for no reason today, it hurts so much!"

But then Mew huffed and complained, clearly annoyed that people had ambushed it without a word when it was just playing in Viridian Forest.

It was genuinely angry at the time.

.....................

Bakura smiled but didn't reply. It's no surprise that the legend of elves being coveted by humans is true.

It's perfectly normal for Team Rocket to set a trap after their location has been discovered.

"But you have to be careful, Omega~"

After venting her anger, Meng Huan happily popped a cookie into her mouth.

That's just how it is; its anger comes and goes quickly, and it's simple and naive.

"What do you mean?" Bakura was taken aback and looked at Yume with confusion.

What is there for him to be careful about?

"I saw our nemesis on the sea the day before yesterday~" Dream covered her mouth with her little hand and chuckled a few times before saying to Bakura.

The big guy's mortal enemy?

Bakura raised an eyebrow. Groudon's archenemy is Kyogre, isn't it?
