Chapter 139: Transported Back to the Cage

"What's up with these Pokémon?"

“How miserable…”

The garrison's boat skirted the shallows and docked at a small ferry, where staff from a luxury resort helped carry the belongings.

The so-called objects were actually cages filled with Pokémon restrained by the objects. It was unknown how long they had been imprisoned, and they looked listless and emaciated.

"It's Team Rocket." Junsha, her hair wet from the seawater, came ashore angrily, "These cages and restraints are the work of Team Rocket."

"Team Rocket?!"

An older staff member was quite surprised, "Hasn't this evil organization disappeared?"

There have been no reports of Team Rocket's actions in the Seven Outer Islands or even the entire Kanto region in recent years. The most recent one was the Chakra attack on the high-end resort, which has been nearly 5 years ago.

Because there are no so-called "players" in the real world, the timelines of each world cannot correspond one-to-one with games and animations, but the attack on the high-end resort is almost the end of Team Rocket's operation, or it can be called the end.

Boss Sakaki wanted to use Deoxys's ability to find his lost son, and he eventually achieved his goal. He also spoke about disbanding Team Rocket.

Junsha had no idea about the background of these games, so she wiped off the water stains on her arms.

"The people from the Pokémon Center will be here soon. Take these Pokémon and take care of them first."

Akiho clutched the collar of her shirt tightly. "Why does Team Rocket treat Pokémon like this? If they want to imprison them, they can just lock them in special Poké Balls."

"It's impossible to suppress the will of the Pokémon in the Poké Ball, and it's inconvenient to feed it in all aspects."

Some of these Pokémon are used for experiments, some are used by Team Rocket, and the vast majority have to be sold. They cannot be allowed to become too unruly or too weak.

"But...Pokémon is still in such a state."

"Because a transport ship ran aground."

Junsha and the guards followed the signal to the rocky sea area. After searching separately, they found the damaged transport ship between a dangerous reef.

The accident had obviously happened a long time ago and the distressed ship was in danger of being swept into the sea at any time.

Many people present owned Pokémon, and putting themselves in their shoes made them feel extremely distressed.

Speaking of this stuff, Junsha was also quite angry.

"Team Rocket's ship was wrecked, the crew escaped, no signs of the victims were found, and the Pokémon were left in cages to die... It's too much!"

"Fortunately they survived..."

"Yeah," a guard lamented, "There are some Pokémon with weaker health, but thankfully there were no deaths."

Shen Qi was relieved at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

What about Porygon?

The reason why the Pokémon in the cage did not starve to death was because Porygon never abandoned them and kept feeding them with food stored in the cabin.

Why didn't the Security Agency mention Porygon?

At this moment, Shen Qi couldn't ask directly whether he had seen the Polygon...

"It's amazing." Shen Qi tried to sigh, "After being locked in the cage for a long time without water and food, everyone managed to survive."

These words guided everyone's thinking, and naturally some people raised questions.

"Yeah, how did these little cuties survive?"

"I do not know."

Junsha and the security guard also discussed this strange problem after completing the rescue, but they never came to a conclusion.

There was a hurried sound of flutes approaching from outside the luxury resort. The rescue team from the Spirit Center was here!

Joey brought other Joeys, as well as regular medical staff and the common Jigglypuffs in medical institutions.

After a brief exchange, they immediately began diagnosis and treatment.

Speaking of weakness, some Pokémon did appear weak due to long-term restraints, but what puzzled Joey was that no Pokémon was overly hungry...

Even checked out some Pokémon that had just eaten this morning.

The Grass + Psychic type Egg may be able to maintain life energy through photosynthesis through the sunlight shining into the cabin, and Squirtle is also a type that is relatively resistant to hunger.

But...it doesn't mean that they can produce elf rations or other food out of thin air in their stomachs.

Facing the medical staff's question, Junsha thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there are low-grade elf rations in the cabin. Our ship's transportation capacity is limited, so we didn't take care of the food. Other guards will go over to collect evidence later."

The problem is that even if the food is stored during transportation, the storage location is separate from the cabin where the Pokémon cages are placed, and the Pokémon in the cages cannot directly eat it.

Someone has to bring the food over to feed them.

Judging from the time of the last feeding, someone was feeding the cage this morning, and the ship had been stuck on the reef for more than one or two days.

Judging from the time when the luxury resort received the interference signal, the transport ship had been stuck on the reef for more than three months.

All speculation points to the fact that there are still members of Team Rocket on the transport ship. They don't want to abandon this valuable cargo, so they are still maintaining the lives of the Pokémon.

This speculation leads to an even more outrageous question. With the ability of Team Rocket, they would have transferred the Pokémon away long ago after a hundred days. How could they have been fed like this for hundreds of days?

Listening to the various speculations of people around him, Shen Qi felt anxious.

Porygon!

It's Porygon feeding other Pokémon!

It was impossible for anyone to guess Porygon out of thin air. Shen Qi sorted out his thoughts and continued to guide the other people's thinking.

"I don't see any Team Rocket members left. Are there any other Pokémon that can move?"

"That's possible..."

Junsha turned to the temporary camp where treatment was being carried out, where a boy in a security uniform was lying.

He was the first guard from the assault boat to board the transport ship. After boarding the ship, he twitched twice and fell to the ground.

As for Team Rocket leaving behind Pokémon...it's possible that Team Rocket's Pokémon attacked the guards.

Paralysis caused by electric skills.

This is the diagnosis Joy gave.

Shen Qi thought about the skill pool in his mind. Porygon can indeed comprehend electrical skills, and can also learn electromagnetic waves that cause paralysis effects...

The speculation finally got closer to the truth. It was very likely that Porygon discovered that someone had boarded the ship in the middle of the night and took counterattack measures to protect the Pokémon.

I just don’t know where Porygon has gone now, and the guards didn’t bring him back.

"Um... ahem."

The paralysis for a period of time caused difficulty breathing, and the guards who recovered continued to cough.

"How is it?" the companion asked with concern.

"I'm fine, ahem...there are Pokémon on that transport ship that Team Rocket left behind to guard!"

Sitting up from the ground, the security guard supported his companion and tried to report the situation.

As soon as he boarded the ship, he found some movable Pokémon and introduced their identities loudly.

"I flashed my security badge and said I was a security officer from the 5th island, and then I got hit by an electromagnetic wave..."

Chapter 140 Never Seen

quiet--

Somehow, there was a kind of awkward humor in the scene.

The guard was quite depressed. "The Pokémon that attacked me was probably not a wild Pokémon, so it could understand human language. However, it chose to attack the police and ran away after beating me. It is highly likely to be a Pokémon from Team Rocket."

As for understanding the language, Shen Qi certainly agreed.

Porygon is a life form created by the artificial intelligence team. Its intelligence is much stronger than that of ordinary Pokémon. It was originally designed to serve the moon landing program, so it is normal for it to understand multiple human languages.

But why did he attack the guards?

Moreover, Porygon was obviously holding back. He himself was able to comprehend many high-output attack skills, and the one he used was just the "electromagnetic wave" which had no damage and was purely a paralyzing effect.

Junsha didn't have as much information as Shen Qi, so she asked the most basic questions.

"What Pokémon attacked you?"

"Never seen it before..." The guard looked confused.

He was studying at the Police Academy, where the teaching requirements for the Pokémon encyclopedia were much higher than those of regular majors, and he knew more types of Pokémon, but he couldn't recognize that Pokémon.

At that time, he held a flashlight and stared at the Pokémon for two or three seconds. Although he couldn't see it clearly, at least he could see its general appearance features. He really didn't recognize it.

"You don't know any of them?" Junsha narrowed her eyes slightly, "Describe them."

"Pink + light blue color combination, all wet, I don't know if it's sea water, rain, or just the way it is."

There are a lot of pink Pokémon, including Chansey, Jigglypuff, and Pixivich, but the pink and blue ones are relatively rare, which immediately increases the recognition.

"I see!"

In the crowd, Xia Yang clapped his hands, "Pink + light blue, and quite rare..."

Shen Qi's heart was pounding. As expected of a swimming coach and racing driver at a high-end resort, he had more knowledge than others. Tell me the answer quickly. I will continue to guide everyone step by step.

"Oh?" Junsha asked seriously, "What Pokémon is it?"

"Meenas!"

...

Shen Qi almost fell to the ground.

The elegant and charming Milotic is known as the lake fairy that cleanses people's hearts. It actually has pink and light blue colors, which is quite rare. And it is normal for water-type Pokémon to be wet.

The conditions are met, but the conclusion is too outrageous!

Unable to hold back, Shen Qi complained, "How could Minas possibly learn electromagnetic waves?"

"Eh? No way..." Xia Yang really didn't know about the skill pool...

Junsha's shoulders slumped. "Mienshao is indeed rare, and the color is right, but... there's no way we don't recognize it."

Whether it is a battle or a gorgeous competition that emphasizes charm, there have been many Milotic that have performed very well in history.

"What else could it be..."

"It's Porygon."

Just now, he asked Xia Yang to answer first, and the result was an outrageous answer. Shen Qi did not intend to let others guess blindly, so he told the truth directly.

You have to show some extraordinary qualities to have a chance to get involved in the follow-up investigation and get in touch with Porygon.

"Porygon? What kind of Pokémon is that?"

There are no wild individuals of the artificially created Porygon, which is even rarer than Milotic, but at least it has a wild population.

"This is a virtual Pokémon created by modern technology. It was initially used in a space exploration project, but later on, due to its limited strength, it failed to achieve its goal, so the research was abandoned."

In the anime, Dr. Akihabara created two Porygons, but that was not the beginning of everything;

The earlier manufacturer was the powerful Silver Corporation, and the Rockets also participated in the research;

Going back further, Silver's report mentioned that the original Porygon was developed at the Pokémon Research Institute.

These things are all confidential, or at least information with a relatively high level of confidentiality. Shen Qi cannot say them directly, and can only express a brief outline of Porygon's background.

"I see..." Junsha thought for a moment, "Team Rocket should be using Porygon as a tool to steal Pokémon."

The general direction of the guess was correct. What Shen Qi really wanted to argue was that Porygon was not a bad person by nature.

"Ms. Junsha, Porygon is innocent. He was just deceived and used."

A kind smile appeared on everyone's face, and they looked at Shen Qi as if he were an innocent child.

Children are all like this, believing that Pokémon are completely kind and friendly. This is mostly true, but there are always exceptions. For example, Pokémon bred by evil organizations have their minds full of evil consciousness.

The severity of Porygon is even worse. Team Rocket created it for the purpose of committing crimes, so it is not an exaggeration to regard it as a pure tool of crime.

No one said it out loud because they just didn't want to shatter the boy's dream so quickly. People will grow up slowly.

The atmosphere was warm, but Shen Qi didn't feel comfortable. He knew that everyone had misunderstood him.
