In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"..." Upon hearing this, the old man's white brows furrowed tightly. The matter of the Saint-Tiannu had already been reported to him, and he also knew about the appearance of the Champion-level trainer.

After all, it was this trainer who intercepted Kona, allowing the Rockets to retreat safely.

But the old man never expected that Dacto was also on that ship; clearly, Dacto was the Rockets' main target.

but……

Why don't you run away? That's a legend! Even with his identity and resources, the whereabouts of a legend are priceless.

As a result, the two legends were simply lost!

"It's alright, it's alright. You should rest well first. Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely get justice for you. The Rockets won't be able to be arrogant for long."

But looking at Dakdo's face, the old man couldn't bring himself to get angry and could only helplessly comfort Dakdo.

"That grandfather... the legend..."

"...Alright then, Grandpa will give you the whereabouts of another legendary creature. Whether you can subdue it or not is still up to your own ability, Darkor. This is the last time."

"Your future achievements will depend on yourself."

The old man's eyelids twitched, but after all, he was his only grandson. He sighed again and spoke earnestly to Dakdo.

This grandson's talent can only be described as genius, it's a pity that he hasn't reached the champion level at this age, the legend can only be the icing on the cake.

Hey……

……

The peaceful night passed quickly. Bakura got up, checked out of the hotel, and then went to the Pokémon Center. Early the next morning, Bonfire took the first boat from Vermilion City to Origami City.

"Lord Tapirang~"

Wearing a cool red outfit, the bonfire spotted Bakura from afar, its eyes lit up, and it ran to Bakura and hugged him tightly.

"Alright, alright, you're a grown man now, stop acting like a child..."

The tapir chuckled as it hugged the girl, acting as if they had been reunited after only one day apart.

"Mmm~ I miss Bakura-sama so much." The campfire rubbed against Bakura's chest for a while before pulling away, tilting her head back and smiling sweetly.

Would she say that she had thought about this hug all night before deciding to do so?

Well, after all, there aren't many opportunities to openly and honestly take advantage of Lord Bakura.

"By the way, Lord Bakura, Lady Lusamine has sent someone to Kanto. Would you like to meet her?"

Campfire carefully took a sleeping Squirtle out of his backpack and handed it to Bakura, then asked Bakura a question.

Now she can be considered Bakura's personal secretary, and subordinates of Ether Paradise who want to contact Bakura naturally have to ask her first.

"Approximately when will you arrive?"

Bakura casually tossed the 'sleeping pig' into his bag. This dream was beyond saving; its mind had been clouded by the hustle and bustle of the mundane world, and it was becoming more and more of a lazy bum.

It's no longer the Mew that Bakura used to chase Team Rocket around, making them cry and scream for their lives...

"He should arrive soon. His ship will also pass through Asagi City. If Lord Bakura receives him, I will let him disembark in Asagi City."

"Okay, let's go have breakfast then."

Bakura nodded; he did have something he wanted to say to the person in charge.

Afterwards, Bakura and the campfire found a breakfast shop to have some breakfast.

"Lord Bakura, yesterday I saw Retsuku riding a black one!"

"Hmm, it seems you're a chosen one too, Campfire 3."

At the dining table, Bakura listened to the lively story told over the campfire and chuckled in praise.

After all, it's a legendary shiny Pokémon!

Even a campfire can be incredibly exciting.

"By the way, Bakura-sama, Touko and Mei have returned to the Sou region. They said they need to go back and prepare for the Quartz Tournament this year."

"It seems that their friend is also planning to come."

Then the campfire blinked and said to Bakura, she remembered that Bakura seemed to value these two girls quite a bit.

"Is that so? That's really good."

Bakura's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this. In that case, the Quartz Conference would definitely be even more lively.

In a park, Bakura sat on a bench chatting with a campfire. "Young Master Bakura, campfire."

A thin young man with short, light yellow hair ran up to the two of them, panting slightly, and respectfully greeted them.

"Zaobo, it's really rare that you would accept this mission."

Bakura glanced at the person with slight surprise, then made a teasing remark with interest.

Zaobo is the branch manager of Aether Paradise, and also the only branch manager in Aether Paradise who is also a Trainer.

"Young Master Bakura, please don't laugh at me..."

Zaobo's face fell upon hearing this. If Lusamine hadn't sternly warned him, he wouldn't have given up his position as the Minister of the Ether Division to enjoy himself and instead travel all the way to Kanto.

"Alright, this isn't a tough job. The scenery in Kanto is quite nice. When you go to meet Apollo of the Rockets, you can take a good look around."

Mo chuckled and patted Zaobo on the shoulder. Zaobo was indeed a very capable person.

However, this personality is very power-hungry, especially since 14 is concerned about his reputation in the Ether Paradise.

"Yes."

"By the way, what did your older sister instruct you?" Bakura thought for a moment and asked Zaobo.

"The chairman told me that once I arrived in Kanto, I would be fully at your disposal, young master."

Zaobo bowed and scraped respectfully in response, showing great awe for Bakura.

Because Bakura wields immense power in Etherland, he is practically the second most powerful figure, second only to Chairwoman Rosamund.

"You can decide the details of cooperating with the Rockets yourself. We shouldn't suffer losses or gain too much advantage. The most important thing is to show our sincerity."

Bakura thought for a moment and then instructed Zaobo, "Zaobo is a very capable person. I trust him to handle things."

"I understand. Lord Bakura, what about the advance into the Carlos region?"

Zaobo pondered for a moment, then nodded to indicate that there was no problem. However, Zaobo then looked troubled and hesitated before asking Bakura.

Lusamine briefly explained the details of the collaboration to him. Was Etherland really going to enter the Carlos region?

This……

“Of course, Zaobo, you will personally go to the Carlos region to guard it, and take Guzma and the Skull Team with you.”

Bakura nodded without hesitation; he wasn't just putting on an act in the Carlos region.

The Alora region's Etherland has now reached its peak, and most of the armed forces have little to do.

They can be sent to the Carlos region to expand the territory of the Ether Paradise!

"Ah? Young Master Bakura, this... I'm afraid I can't shoulder such a heavy responsibility..."

Zaobo's face immediately fell upon hearing this. Although he was a trainer, he was also a researcher.

Let him lead his subordinates to seize territory or something...

"What's the panic? There's only Team Flare in the Carlos region. If you and Guzma encounter trouble that you can't handle, just inform your sister and ask Gladion to help you."

Bakura frowned slightly, his expression hardening, and he shouted at Zaobo.

"Yes..." Seeing Bakura get angry, Zaobo immediately agreed with a trembling face.

"Cheer up! You're the branch manager of Ether Paradise, understand? Once we've taken over the entire underground world of the Carlos region, you'll be Ether Paradise's representative for the Carlos region."

"I have high hopes for you, Zaobo. Don't let me down. I'll reward you with an Ultra Beast, understand?"

Bakura sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. That's why he wanted to poach people from all over the place.

Aside from Lusamine and Gladion, what kind of rotten fish are in Etherland?

Zaobo is indeed capable, but he is too power-hungry. Guzma, the leader of the Skull Team, is quite strong, but he has absolutely no brains.

Gladion is calm, meticulous, and capable of great use, but he only focuses on cultivating and improving his strength, completely ignoring everything else.

Bakura really felt like things were going too hard for him!

If there weren't so few other options, Bakura wouldn't have sent Zaobo and Guzma to conquer the Carlos region.

"Yes! Please rest assured, Young Master Bakura, I will do my utmost to conquer the Carlos region!"

Upon hearing this, Zaobo's eyes lit up immediately. The representative of the Carlos region, and an Ultra Beast!

Those are all the things he most desires!

Zaobo immediately puffed out his chest and patted his chest with a strong voice to assure Bakura.

"By the way, once we arrive in Carlos, keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the ultimate weapon. Also, Team Rocket is our partner."

"When you need their help, don't hesitate to have them send someone to 'help,' understand?"

Bakura patted Zaobo on the shoulder with satisfaction, then whispered meaningfully to Zaobo.

"The ultimate weapon... Yes, young master, I understand."

Zaobo muttered to himself, "Although I don't know what the ultimate weapon is, I should be able to find out once I get to the Carlos region and do some research."

"Alright, let's go to Kanto." Bakura nodded, then shooed them away.

"Lord Bakura, is it alright to send him?"

Watching Zaobo walk away with his toes pointing outwards, Campfire seriously doubted whether this guy would be completely wiped out if he led his men to Carlos...

"Zaobo may have some flaws, but his abilities are indeed quite good, however..."

Bakura shook his head, then narrowed his eyes slightly as he pondered.
