In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"This is impossible!"

Upon hearing this, Touko looked at Akane in astonishment or rather shock, while Mei instinctively stood up and exclaimed in disbelief.

A month?

What is this concept?

They had just fought Crimson and knew how strong that fire-breathing dragon was.

Although Charizard is weaker than their Emboar and Serperior in terms of individual strength, in battle, unless the difference is too great, it is not entirely based on the strength of the individual Pokémon!

There are too many factors that affect a Pokémon's strength in battle, such as command, environment, tactics, and type advantages and disadvantages.

But from the battle just now, you couldn't tell at all that Crimson was a newbie!

They have a wealth of combat experience, and they've only been traveling for a month?

"What do you mean it's impossible? Chi-ge and I are twins. We started our trip on the same day."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi spoke up in dissatisfaction. Mei's words were tantamount to questioning her own brother.

"As I said, this year's Quartz Convention will see many talented newcomers emerge. Trust me, you'll definitely regret it if you don't come!"

Bakura's lips curled up slightly as he gave the two women a meaningful smile. He was looking forward to a grand melee between these prodigies from the original story.

That scene would definitely be very interesting.

And if possible, he also wants to recruit some people to Alola!

After all, Alola is short of people... unlike Kanto, which is vast and rich in resources, where talent is always emerging.

"So if you want to hone your skills, Kanto is a very suitable place. You can tell your friends about this."

"A suitable environment is very beneficial for self-improvement."

Bakura smiled and slowly said to the two thoughtful women, "It's only the beginning of the year now, and the regional conference will officially start at the end of the year."

It's perfectly possible to change the region you want to challenge now.

"Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Bakura. We will consider it carefully." Touko frowned, pondered for a moment, and then replied earnestly to Bakura.

"May I ask if Mr. Bakura will be attending this Quartz Conference?"

Then, Touko hesitated before asking Bakura why he was trying to persuade them to attend the Quartz Conference.

Upon hearing this, Mei and the others curiously turned their gazes toward Bakura, especially Akane, whose lifeless eyes suddenly lit up.

"Not necessarily, I might not participate." Bakura shook his head; even he himself wasn't sure.

After all, people's thoughts can change, and he also planned to continue to observe.

If this year's Quartz convention is truly spectacular, he wouldn't mind spending money to buy a spot as a participant.

Participating in the Quartz Conference doesn't necessarily require challenging a gym; there are many shortcuts to participate.

"Huh? What a pity. Bakura seems really strong. I was hoping to fight him."

Ash scratched his head regretfully upon hearing this. To be honest, he was really fired up by all the trainers here!

I really hope I can fight everyone at the tournament.

Very strong?

Touko glanced at Ash, then her clear eyes flickered slightly as she turned to Bakura.

It should be super powerful!

The effortless demeanor during the doubles match and the incredibly accurate grasp of the situation.

Regardless of how they felt it, Baku seemed to be beyond their understanding of combat.

The spirit named Nihilego was probably not Bakura's main force at all.

After chatting for a while, Bakura bid farewell with the campfire and prepared to return to his room to rest.

"Campfire, are you interested in the Quartz Conference?"

Back in his room, Bakura gently stroked his once-soft, dreamlike belly, and after a moment's thought, asked the campfire a question.

"Huh?" The campfire, which was brewing tea, was taken aback by the question.

"Lord Bakura, you must be joking. Why would I go to the Alliance Conference?"

After regaining her senses, Campfire immediately shook her head, even though her current strength had not yet reached the Heavenly King level.

But with Bakura's guidance over such a long period of time and his own hard work, he is now a near-Elite Rank Trainer, surpassing the vast majority of Trainers in this world.

Besides, their perspectives have changed, and Bonfire isn't really interested in participating in regional tournaments or similar competitions.

She doesn't need fame, nor does she want to become a member of the alliance. As for training, wouldn't it be better to stay by Bakura-sama's side every day and receive guidance?

"If you want to truly become stronger, combat is indispensable."

Bakura chuckled softly. Campfire was loyal to him, and of course he hoped that Campfire could continue to improve.

"Hmm... I'd rather not. I want to stay by Bakura-sama's side."

Upon hearing this, a conflicted look appeared on Bonfire's face. She felt she had no choice but to obey Bakura's words.

But if you want to participate in the Indigo League, you have to collect gym badges...

"I didn't ask you to leave me. If you want to participate, you can just buy a spot later."

Mo looked at the campfire with a good laugh; this girl could be really cute sometimes.

"Lord Bakura is teasing me again!" The delicate face of the campfire puffed up, and she glared at Bakura with a wronged expression.

……

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye. Bakura glanced at his phone and saw a message from Apollo saying that they were about to begin their operation.

Bakura and Kabul took out Team Rocket uniforms, and after changing into them, Kabul applied a layer of heavy makeup to the two of them.

His face was eerily pale, and although his original features were still visible, he gave off an unusually gloomy feeling.

In this way, unless you are very familiar with them, you generally won't recognize the two of them.

"These outfits are quite nice, much prettier than the Lava Team's."

Campfire stood in front of a large mirror, her fitted Team Rocket uniform skirt perfectly outlining her slender figure, and she wore a black hat on her head.

She feels she looks much better now than she did with the Lava Team.

"That's because you're naturally beautiful. After all, our Campfire is a little fairy too," Bakura teased, looking at the sweet-smiling Campfire.

"Lord Bakura, really~" Upon hearing this, Kagari blushed, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten candied fruit.

This was the first time Bakura had praised her appearance.

The two then left their guest room and headed towards the lobby. Along the corridor they passed, they could see many Team Rocket members also beginning their operations.

"What's going on?"

····Requesting flowers···········

"How come there are so many Team Rocket members?"

"Call the police! Call the police right now!"

At this moment, all the tourists in the hall looked around in panic, and all sorts of noises kept ringing out.

Fear, panic, and other emotions filled the crowd.

Because at this moment, all the entrances to the passageways have been completely blocked by the Rockets!

They are completely surrounded by the Rockets!

Meanwhile, Bakura and Campfire, hidden among the Team Rocket members, watched the disgraceful scene unfold before them.

This is how ordinary people react when faced with an evil organization. After all, Team Rocket is the largest criminal organization in the Kanto region!

Bakura also saw Ash's trio and Mei Touko among these people.

I didn't see any crimson, probably because there were too many people.

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

"Greetings, everyone~ I am Apollo, one of the four generals of Team Rocket."

Just then, an elegant young man's voice suddenly came from the speakers installed on the four ceilings of the hall.

To the astonishment of all the tourists, was this a high-ranking official from the Rockets?

"As you can see, the Santo Anu is now in the possession of our Rocket Team."

"The Saint-Tiannu is now very far from the mainland. If you want someone to come and rescue you, you can give up this unrealistic idea."

"But don't worry, everyone. Team Rocket is a reasonable organization. As long as you cooperate with us, we will get you safely to land."

Apollo's calm and measured tone resonated throughout the entire Saint-Téné, conveying a sense of composure and confidence.

Whispers rippled through the crowd of tourists, who wondered if what Apollo said was true.

But at least for now, they can only cooperate with the Rockets.

Because Team Rocket in the surrounding area had already released their Pokémon, watching them intently.

"Where is Dakto?" Bakura's gaze kept sweeping across the faces of the tourists.

He was looking for Darko, and as for Apollo's words, he could just listen to them and ignore them. Of course, the villain had to show his coolness in this way, giving people the feeling that everything was under control.

But even Apollo himself knew that this was just a polite opening remark; he would still have to take action later...
