The traveling frog is living a carefree life in the Marvel universe.

Aunt Mei has become immune to Bai Ye's occasional disappearances for a period of time due to urgent matters, because Bai Ye has already given instructions that this is due to the needs of his work, and generally the time will not exceed half a year.

Therefore, no matter how beautiful and charming Kona is, Bai Ye has no choice but to make a strategic retreat. After all, he can't give up a whole forest in the Marvel world for Kona!

"Wang!"

Thor put his hands in his pockets.

You bastard, if you dare to lie to me again, you'd better prepare a renovation plan!

Just wait and see if I tear down your house!

Bai Ye smiled and reached into his inner pocket to pull out a Poké Ball:

"Come out, Gastly!"

"What do you want now?" Gastly asked impatiently. "I was sleeping soundly! You little guys are so annoying. Don't you know how late I went to bed last night?"

Well, during this period, Gastly has been taking care of Squirtle, Dratini, and other Pokémon, using them as babysitters by Bai Ye.

"Although taking care of the kids is tiring, didn't I give you Energy Cubes as payment?" Bai Ye laughed. "But today, I'm not asking you to take care of the kids. Instead, I'm asking you to challenge a Gym Leader. Are you confident?"

"Gym Leader?" Gastly curled its lip. "Those low-level creatures, can't they be taken down with a flick of the wrist?"

Gastly, with its near-legendary Pokémon strength, might not be able to defeat the Elite Four's ace Pokémon, but it certainly doesn't take Gym Leaders seriously.

"I hope you won't say that then!"

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

Giovanni is no ordinary gym leader. Even Lance, who might possess champion-level skills, might not be able to defeat him.

Thor glared angrily at Bai Ye: You bastard, no wonder you've been ignoring me lately, so you've got another dog out there!

……

White Night, along with Tohru and Gastly, re-entered Viridian City.

Passing through a constant stream of people.

The three arrived in front of the Tokiwa Dojo.

It was peak season for trainers to challenge gyms, so the doors of the Viridian Gym were wide open, and one after another, disheartened young trainers in their early teens walked out.

There's no way around it; for these fledgling trainers, Giovanni is undoubtedly in hell mode.

The challenge finally came to White Night, who brought Thor and Gastly to the center of the arena.

On a high platform inside the dojo, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie is sipping a glass of red wine.

Seeing Bai Ye enter, he glanced at her in surprise:

"Are you here at your age to challenge the dojo?"

—For trainers whose average age is twelve, Bai Ye's age is indeed too old.

"Of course not!"

Bai Ye lit a cigarette for himself, struck a pose that said, "I've got you cornered," and said:

"Sakaki, I'm here to negotiate!"

###Chapter 148 Return to Marvel###

"?"

Sakaki stared blankly at the young man in front of him.

When this question mark pops into my head, it's not that I have a problem, but that I think you have a problem!

Who is my identity, Sakaki? Who is your identity? You want to negotiate with me?

However, he is, after all, a seasoned veteran.

He was bewildered inside, but remained calm and collected on the surface.

Gently stroking the cat boss beside me:

"Oh, I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Dormammu... cough cough, sorry, I misspoke." Bai Ye coughed and said, "Sakaki, let's not beat around the bush, you should have a Ralts that you just acquired, right?"

Sakaki's pupils contracted slightly.

He might not care about the Pokémon of ordinary people, but a shiny Ralts that is comparable to a pseudo-legendary Pokémon definitely requires his personal attention.

So, the shiny Ralts is naturally in his hands, but he hasn't figured out how to use it yet.

But... how did this matter get leaked?

Even the Pokémon League probably doesn't know that this local bully in Viridian City is the mastermind behind Team Rocket, right?

How did this young man manage to find him so quickly after his Shiny Ralts was stolen in the Hoenn region?

"Young man, I don't know what you're talking about!"

Despite a thousand thoughts swirling in his mind, Sakaki remained outwardly calm.

However, the cat boss under Sakaki's palm felt the force of Sakaki's hand and showed a mask of pain on his face, but he did not dare to break free from Sakaki's hand, otherwise... given Sakaki's temperament, he might not live to see the next morning.

"Stop pretending, Sakaki!" Bai Ye said, "Do you really want to force me to lay everything out? I'm not here to trick you, I'm here to negotiate!"

"Let me be frank with you. That shiny Ralts that you stole should, in a sense, belong to me. Yet you practically snatched it away right before my eyes. Do you think I wouldn't come looking for you?"

"Hand over the Shiny Ralts, and we'll keep to ourselves; otherwise... hehe!"

Sakagi's face was gloomy.

While a shimmering Ralts is valuable, it's certainly not as significant as his legacy in Viridian City.

But he definitely won't give away that shiny Ralts.

There are no secrets in this world. If one person knows, countless others will likely find out soon after.

Although he didn't know exactly what went wrong that led to his identity being exposed.

However, it seems he can't stay in Tokiwa City any longer!

"You're not trying to silence me, are you? No way, no way?" Bai Ye noticed the change in Sakaki's eyes and said exaggeratedly, "I already said that the shiny Ralts originally belonged to me. Do you think just anyone can get a shiny Ralts? Let me be frank with you, since I dared to come here, I'm not afraid of you silencing me!"

Bai Ye gave Sakaki a look, letting him figure it out himself.

That's right.

I am the legendary man destined to become the Pirate King!

Sakaki coldly replied, "Then you're far too confident in yourself. Do you think the Rockets are someone who can be threatened at will? I don't care what your background is, kid, you dare to come here and threaten me, I have to admire your courage!"

Bai Ye muttered to himself.

Is Giovanni going to turn against me right now?

He wouldn't be that stubborn, would he?

You should at least play along with me for a while, at least give me Ralts first, then figure out my background before acting accordingly, and at least make sure there are no future problems before trying to silence me, right?

All I want is Ralts. If you give it to me, we'll all be fine. Why bother with all this fighting?

"Come out, Beedrill!"

Giovanni stopped wasting time talking to Byakuya and immediately brought out his ace Pokémon, Beedrill, whose strength was comparable to that of a legendary Pokémon.

"Why force me to take action? Why bother?" Bai Ye sighed, then his expression turned solemn, and he pointed a finger: "Go, MetalGarurumon!"

"Wang!"

If he could, Thor would love to bite this guy to death.

What the hell is MetalGarurumon?

What an awful name!

Giovanni's Beedrill could even break through Deoxys's Triangle Defense with its high-speed movement, playing a crucial role in Giovanni's victory over Deoxys and undoubtedly proving to be a formidable opponent.

However, Thor is no pushover; he is Thor, the God of Thunder!

"Beedrill, use your stinger!"

Sakaki coldly and ruthlessly gave the order.

Given the strength of this Beedrill, if the young man in front of him didn't have the strength of an Elite Four member, and his Pokémon didn't have the strength of a Legendary Pokémon, he would definitely be taken down in one fell swoop by Beedrill's poison sting.

"Metal Garurumon, use Absolute Freeze!"

Bai Ye shouted.

Thor: "..."

What the hell is this "absolutely freezing gas"?

Byakuya: "It's the Absolute Freeze you used to defeat Puppetmon!!"

Thor, too lazy to deal with this lunatic, raised his hammer. Instantly, thunder roared across the sky, and in a flash, the dark clouds above the Viridian Gym blocked out the sunlight.

"100,000 volts!"

As Thor swung his hammer, bolts of lightning coalesced into a thunder beast, hurtling towards Giovanni's Beedrill.

"What kind of Pokémon is this? How can it be so strong?"

Sakaki grabbed the cat boss's head tightly, almost pulling all the fur off its head.

It would probably take about five or six rounds.

Thor managed to kill Beedrill.

Bathed in lightning, the Beedrill fell to the ground, its eyes swirling with swirls.

Sakaki remained silent.

……

Bai Ye tossed a Poké Ball, a smug look on his face.

"I told you to give me Ralts a long time ago, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've given it to me, haven't you?"

"Well, now that we have Ralts, it's time to head back."

White Night walked halfway.
