Elf: Release? Not possible.

A moment later...

"It's so rare that you would contact me on your own initiative."

A figure soon appeared on the screen, and when she saw Professor Oak, her tone didn't seem particularly good, and from the voice it could be heard that it was a woman.

Judging from his voice, he seems to be quite old, but there is an extraordinary aura in his voice.

"You're still the same after all these years!" Dr. Oak looked a little helpless and sighed slightly.

"Humph! If you don't want to see me, then don't contact me. Why would you contact me for no reason?"

After listening to what Dr. Oak said, the other party didn't seem to want to say anything more. He seemed a little irritable and didn't seem willing to say more to Dr. Oak.

"Hey... I have a child here who was kidnapped by Team Rocket in Neon Town. His whereabouts are unknown now. I hope you can help!"

Professor Oak also sighed slightly, as if he had no idea what to do with the other party's personality. Although the other party's attitude had always been bad, Dr. Oak did not care about the other party's temper and asked for help.

The other side seemed a little surprised as well. When he heard about Team Rocket, his eyes changed slightly. He was already in a bad mood and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. However, he slowly calmed down when facing Professor Oak.

"Team Rocket? Team Rocket's people are causing chaos everywhere, and so many trainers have been hurt. Why should they help just you?"

The other party seemed to ask deliberately to make things difficult, and Professor Oak fell silent after hearing that.

"Huh! Really, it's been like this since the beginning. I told you to stay away from me before, but you insisted on coming closer. Now you've left on your own, and you come to me for help again when you have something to ask for help?"

"I said, you didn't have to beg me. Who told you to give up being a Pokémon trainer and do research? In the past, you could have handled this kind of thing on your own."

It seemed that he talked more as he got older. When facing Professor Oak, his tone seemed to be filled with deep resentment. Professor Oak listened to what he said and slowly raised his head.

"What happened in the past is in the past. I know you are not happy with my decision later, but I never regret my decision now."

"..."

"Then why don't you go and save him yourself? Why are you looking for me? It's your child, not mine..."

The other party seemed to be getting angry as well, and it seemed as if he wanted Professor Oak to give in.

"You are unwilling to save my child, so would you save that person's child?" Dr. Oak was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

At this moment, when the figure opposite heard Professor Oak mention that person, his calm eyes gradually changed.

"The person who was taken away was that man's son?"

"Correct!"

"Also, it is said that he was captured in order to stop Team Rocket from capturing the Three Sacred Birds. I guess this is not a small matter for you guys!"

Professor Oak seemed to know that the other party would definitely make things difficult for him, but he had already been prepared. Although Team Rocket was causing destruction and stealing Pokémon everywhere.

But the situation of capturing the three sacred birds was obviously much more serious, and she couldn't just ignore it.

"Hmph!! Really, just like that guy, they are all troublemakers!" The person on the other side couldn't help but complain when he heard what Professor Oak said.

"That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you save people or stand aside and watch."

"There's no need to provoke me. I know the difference between the important and the unimportant. I will investigate this 1.5 matter thoroughly. But if it's that man's son, and he can't handle such a small matter, he deserves to die!"

The person on the other end hung up the phone after saying the last sentence. Professor Oak sighed as he watched the phone screen in front of him turn off.

"Ah... it's still the same old thing!"

However, a trace of self-blame flashed in Professor Oak's eyes, but he slowly calmed down and regained his composure. After all, now is not the time to sigh, as Xiaozhi's life or death is still uncertain.

PS: We also leave a foreshadowing here. The person is not hard to guess. This part is actually based on the plot of the last second generation protagonist of the gold and silver version challenging Chi. Although it is a bit spoiler, I think someone should be able to guess it after writing this.

End the call

At this time, on the other side of the call, an old woman wearing a purple dress and holding a cane stood in front of the phone in silence.

The woman in front of me, who looks to be over sixty years old, is not an ordinary person. Despite her age, she is still full of energy and vigor. When you get close to her, you can even feel an invisible sense of oppression.

In the entire Kanto region, being able to communicate with Professor Oak in such a tone is enough to show that this old man's identity is extraordinary.

She is Granny Kikuko, one of the strongest trainers in the entire Kanto region and one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the League.

She is also the oldest of the Four Heavenly Kings, but despite her age, her strength is still unfathomable, and she is proficient in the most bizarre ghost-type Pokémon.

Because of her existence, she has influenced many older trainers and given them encouragement. Even at this age, as long as they are willing, they can still become top trainers.

In fact, even the Elite Four trainers and even the champions have to retain some respect for Professor Oak when facing him.

But the reason why she has this attitude towards Professor Oak is not only because the two are of similar age, but also because they have known each other for a long time.

And it can be heard from their words that the relationship between the two does not seem to be good. In fact, it was just some unpleasantness when they were young. Although it is not a deep hatred, Grandma Kikuko has never been able to let it go.

"call..."

After a long time, Grandma Kikuko slowly let out a sigh of relief. In fact, she did not intend to stand idly by, but she subconsciously became angry after seeing Professor Oak.

She herself was a person who could not hide her temper, and she got angry when she saw Professor Oak. But now she had calmed down, and after a moment, she made another call.

A figure soon appeared on the phone screen, a young man with red hair and a cloak.

The man in front of him is no ordinary person. He is Ryuuto, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region. He has the title of Dragon Messenger and is also the champion of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Johto region. He can be said to be a legendary figure in the two regions.

"Granny Kikuko, long time no see!" Du seemed a little surprised when he saw the call from Granny Kikuko.

Looking at the screen, Du's location was obviously not in front of the landline phone, which meant that Grandma Kikuko had been calling his private number.

Although the Four Heavenly Kings are familiar with each other, they usually act independently and don't keep in touch with each other. They are usually notified to gather only when there is something or a mission on the alliance's side.

Facing Granny Kikuko, although Du was the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, he still behaved relatively politely. After all, Granny Kikuko was an evergreen who had witnessed many rotations of members of the Four Heavenly Kings.

When he was young, he was able to surpass Granny Kikuko and become the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings. Although he was above her, he still maintained respect for her. Moreover, although Granny Kikuko had a strange personality, she never took advantage of her age.

"Yes! It looks like you are very busy!" Grandma Kikuko nodded slightly. She could guess what was going on just by looking at Du outside.

"Yeah! Recently, Team Rocket has been very active in both Kanto and Johto, so it's a bit hectic!"

Du smiled heartily. Although he was very busy, he did not complain.

"You called me today, is there something?"

Because this rarely happens in succession, Du thought something must have happened.

You know, although Granny Kikuko is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she is old after all.

Although she is still strong and refuses to accept her old age, the Alliance tries to avoid disturbing her as much as possible, so she is the most leisurely of the Four Heavenly Kings.

"Da Mu called me just now!"

"!!!" Du paused slightly after hearing the voice. Although he was still young, everyone in the circle knew about the affair between Grandma Kikuko and Professor Oak.

But Duye felt a little strange. He thought that Grandma Kikuko would not want to tell others about the things that happened between the two of them, so there must be something else.

"A call from Professor Oak? What's going on?"

"Yes, it has something to do with Team Rocket as well."

"Team Rocket? Did they attack Professor Oak as well?"

Du frowned slightly when he heard the voice. Team Rocket had been snatching Pokémon everywhere recently, causing a lot of panic. They had been even more active during this period.

As we all know, Professor Oak has many Pokémon in foster care by other trainers. Thinking of this, I felt a little worried.

"That's not the case. They are not bold enough to do that."

"What's that?"

"He said that a rookie trainer from Pallet Town was captured by Team Rocket! The man's identity seems to be not simple, not an ordinary Team Rocket minion!"

Granny Kikuko listened to what Professor Oak said and understood some of the situation. It was obvious that the person who took Xiaozhi away was not an ordinary member of Team Rocket.

"Rookie Trainer 333? Why would Team Rocket capture a trusted trainer?"

Du was stunned after hearing that. There was no reason for Team Rocket to do this if it was interfering in their affairs.

The Rockets' style should be to defeat him directly, or even take his life, but it was a bit surprising that they captured him.

"It seems to be related to the capture of the three sacred birds. Oak said that the child once encountered the lightning bird in Kurokumo City. At that time, the Rocket Team was trying to capture the lightning bird, but was later stopped by the child."

"This should be the second time we've met. I don't know if they encountered each other during the operation, or if they were specifically looking for that kid to seek revenge."

Granny Kikuko gently stroked the Poké Ball embedded on top of her cane and spoke gloomily.

Du's face changed slightly when he heard the voice. When the three sacred birds were mentioned, his eyes changed. In fact, this was also the matter he had been investigating recently.

Recently, Team Rocket has been making a lot of trouble in various places in order to capture the three sacred birds. He has been tracking these things, but there has not been much progress.

PS: After playing Arceus, I want to say that if Grandma Kikuko knew what her ancestors were like, she would probably be so angry that she would die. She was just a joke, and she even became a bandit (funny).

"Seeking revenge? From what I know about Team Rocket, they won't do such a meaningless thing. It must be for other reasons!"

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is your enemy. This statement is true. Having fought against the Rockets' enemies so many times, Du is very familiar with Team Rocket's style of doing things.

Seeking revenge is a thankless task for them. Unless the young man has something they want, they will not waste time looking for someone to seek revenge on.

Take the matter of Zapdos for example. Although it was stopped by that young man, the most they would do was to retreat and then find a way to capture it again. They would not waste time with that young man.

"Ohki said that the child is that man's son, but I'm not sure yet whether Team Rocket knows the identity of that child."

Kikuko was silent for a while, then looked at Du and spoke seriously. Hearing this, Du's expression changed slightly.

That person... He seemed to have tacitly agreed not to say it out loud. Although he didn't hear the name, he still knew who Grandma Kikuko was talking about.

This is a person who only exists in legends, and he had the honor of meeting him once when he was a child, but now he has never seen him again in all these years.

"Are you worried that Team Rocket arrested that kid because they knew his identity?"

"Not necessarily, maybe it's just due to other reasons, maybe it's a coincidence."

Granny Kikuko wasn't sure. She had just learned from Professor Oak that the man's child had already started traveling as a trusted trainer, so there was no reason for Team Rocket to know about it.

So it could all be just a coincidence, maybe something happened before the child was taken away.

"No matter what, I can't just sit back and watch this matter."

"During this period, Team Rocket has been trying to capture the Three Sacred Birds. It seems that they are making some big moves. They caused a big commotion on the Twin Islands before. Maybe Articuno has already fallen into their hands."

"If this is a coincidence as well, maybe they are trying to capture the other two!"

Du didn't know at this time that after escaping from the power plant, the Lightning Bird was unable to escape and had fallen into the hands of Team Rocket.

Xiaozhi also didn't know that Articuno had been caught. In other words, only the last Moltres had not been caught by them.

"Then which one do you think they are catching?" Grandma Kikuko also thought this was possible, so she asked.

"Where was the child taken?"

"Neon Town!"

"Neon Town? If Zapdos is missing, their target might change to Moltres. If it's Moltres, there's only one place they can go to avoid being hunted down."

After hearing Grandma Kikuko's response, Du fell into deep thought.

After being injured, Pokémon will look for a suitable place to heal. If it is Moltres, if it is not caught, the place it may go to is the volcano in Crimson Town.

That place is convenient for Moltres to hide, and if Team Rocket captures someone and only wants to hunt down Moltres, they will definitely go to Crimson Town. At the same time, Neon Town is very close to Crimson Town.

So even if we don’t go to Honglian Town, I’m afraid we can only go to Honglian Town to investigate the situation.

"Honglian Town!" After listening to Du's analysis, Grandma Kikuko murmured and guessed this possibility.

"At the moment, this is the only possibility. If we start investigating from the place where the child was abducted, we should be able to track him down."

"Okay, I'll go to Honglian Town first. Xia Huo (Xia Bo, because I don't know the name, I thought of one myself. After all, it doesn't seem appropriate to call someone of Grandma Kikuko's age Xia Bo) is also here. I can ask him if he knows the purpose of Team Rocket's capture of the Three Sacred Birds."

Grandma Kikuko is a decisive person. Once she has a goal, she will no longer waste time.

Although he is not very friendly to Professor Oak, he still cares about the young trainer.

Regardless of whether or not the child is that person's, as long as the trainer is firm in his beliefs, she will look favorably upon him, especially when the other party is so young and dares to compete with Team Rocket. Although she acted indifferent when it came to Professor Oak, she actually admired him very much.

"Okay, thank you for your help. I will be there right away!"
