The leader was Ge Jihua, who should still be helping to interrogate suspects in the alliance branch.

"What's going on here, Junsha?"

Eric had no idea of ​​the sudden situation, but he vaguely sensed the danger. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He looked at Junsha, who had suddenly moved away from him, in confusion. Only then did he remember that he seemed to have forgotten even the name of Miss Junsha.

"You don't need to ask her about this, Branch Chief Arik." Ge Jihua's voice came from the back of the crowd. It was unprecedentedly low and serious, and intimidating without even being angry. The people who had gathered in a crowd quickly made way for it.

"Ge...Gejihua?"

Eric stepped back nervously, almost bumping into Firio. He was sweating profusely and his eyes were evasive, but he could only watch Gejihua walk through the crowd and come to him.

Several of his old subordinates also looked frightened.

However, compared to him, these people were obviously treated much worse. Before Ge Jihua could even open his mouth, he was pinned to the ground and handcuffed by police officers who were specially transferred from other areas to carry out the mission.

"Aromatherapy Division, Division Chief Arik, has colluded with Team Flare and leaked confidential information. The evidence is irrefutable. With the approval of the Alliance Headquarters, you and your accomplices are being arrested. Do you still have any doubts?"

Her deep eyes flashed with anger. Ge Jihua tried her best to calm down and showed Arik the arrest warrant issued by the Alliance Headquarters.

Eric's lips trembled up and down, and he took a long time to raise his shaking hands. After thinking for a long time, he explained unwillingly: "Why is this happening? I didn't..."

Ma Xiu waved her hand with a gloomy face, took out a hard drive that had been prepared long ago, and said coldly: "That's enough, the evidence is here. Do you want everyone to listen to how you informed the people of the Flash Team in your office cubicle? Well, I'll satisfy you."

As she spoke, she pressed the button on the recorder.

Amid the slight rustling sound, Arik's voice was a little blurry but still recognizable.

The tone was exactly the same as when he had just met Filio, full of courtesy. On the other end of the phone was a weak, neutral voice that sounded like it was faked with a voice changer, making it difficult to discern its specific gender and identity.

On the phone, Arik nervously gave the plan that Filio had made in the branch meeting room.

However, Firio, who he said was seriously injured and could only barely respond to the call to help in the western part of the city, appeared on the battlefield in the factory with great vigor and caught the Flare Team off guard.

By the time Arik reacted, the destruction of Team Flare and the Poachers was inevitable.

He hoped to get away with it with luck, but in the end he could only lower his head under the contemptuous looks of the on-site branch staff.

After a long while, he looked at Firion unwillingly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Young man, why do you think I am unreliable..."

He has been working very cautiously for decades. Even when he was caught by the Flare Team and became an insider, he was extremely careful. He couldn't understand why this happened.

"Why? There's no why." Firion couldn't help laughing when he heard Arik's question. Looking at the miserable state of the man in front of him, he shook his head. "Ever since I knew that the alliance had been infiltrated like a sieve, I have been prepared to keep a hand for all those who are not confirmed to be reliable. You are no exception. You just ran into my gun."

"I..." Arik looked much older in an instant. His already hunched back became even more bent. His lips trembled and he was unable to speak.

"As for people like you, are you regretting and afraid now? Why didn't you think about the innocent citizens who were killed and injured at that time? For a cowardly and brainless scum like you, it would be a bargain to kill you with a knife."

Firio's eyes were cold, and a murderous aura rushed out of his body, enveloping Arik, who had not been in battle for many years.

Before he could finish his words, Arik had already stepped back repeatedly and almost fell to the ground. He was clamped tightly by two police officers who were responsible for guarding him. He did not have a chance to speak again and was taken to a prison van outside the crowd.

"Cough... cough cough cough..." Just as everyone's eyes were focused on Filio, he suddenly started coughing violently again, hunched over with a look of pain on his face.

"Filio? Is your chest injury not healed again?" Nancy hurried forward to support him, looking at Maxiu and others with an apologetic look, "It seems that Fiorio still needs to rest well. I will accompany him back to the gym first. There is no need for us to participate in anything here. Bye."

"Ahem... wait a moment, Nancy." After coughing twice, Firio weakly took out the previously written note from his pocket and put it in Ge Jihua's hand. "Senior, this is the information that the Flash Team cadre named Damir told before his death. Another part is my analysis. Please take a look at it and report it. I'm leaving first."

After saying that, Alakazam had instantly moved to the side of the two of them, with a faint blue light.

"Fei..."

Just as Ma Xiu was about to reach out and say something, the two of them disappeared as the blue light flashed.

"Oh, this Filio..." Seeing Filio slipping away from her sight but unable to say anything, Maxiu looked around with a complicated expression and sighed.

The head of the Aromatherapy City branch was suspected of colluding with Team Flare. For a short period of time, the work of the branch could only be undertaken by her, the gym leader.

Looking at the branch cadres who were all worried about their own safety, she knew that she would not have any free time.

Ge Jihua silently stepped aside and picked up Firio's note. The few lines of words made her frown.

After thinking it over again and again, she quickly walked to Maxiu's side, whispered a few words in her ear, and hurriedly took a few people away. The direction they were heading was the branch building.

-----------------

"Nazhi, you really are the best actor. Your acting skills are much more reliable than mine."

Back in the room of the Aromatherapy Gym, Firio no longer looked like a wounded person. Except for a slight stuffiness in his chest due to two consecutive attacks, his normal movements were not affected at all.

While praising Nancy for her cooperation, he released his still weak companions one by one, bandaged their wounds, and prepared late dinner and midnight snacks, and was very busy.

"You only know how to order me around in this kind of thing. Why are you so cunning?" Nancy sat on the sofa, watching Firio busying around with a smile on her face. "Look at you now. You don't look like someone who just fought a big battle. Sit down and take a rest."

"It's okay. Since we promised Dragonite a big meal, we must satisfy it." Firio waved his hand indifferently and answered in a cheerful tone while massaging the body of the big-mouthed baby who had just woken up from a coma.

"You..." Nazi sighed and stopped worrying. Instead, she asked curiously, "But why did you pretend to be sick and come back? Doing more things over there will allow your alliance headquarters here to remember you better. And the intelligence, although Ge Jihua is indeed very reliable, it seems a bit redundant to ask her to report it."

"It's not complicated. To put it simply, I'm tired of those messed up things, and I have no interest in the current Carlos Alliance. The more I get in touch with it, the more problems I see." Firio answered without hesitation. His hands were not idle either. He added a little strength to help the big mouth kid relax his muscles. "Instead of wasting my life by playing coy with those bureaucrats, it's better to spend more time with you and everyone. This is the real thing."

"Qiduo~Qiduo!"

Big Mouth Baby agreed in a tender voice. It also hated those humans who said one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.

Firion's words made Nancy a little silent. She didn't care about this matter itself. After all, she had been outside the alliance system in Kanto for many years, and even the duties of the gym leader were taken over by her father.

But vaguely, looking at Firion, she always felt like she was seeing someone she had known before, someone she was reluctant to have anything to do with.

Shaking her head vigorously to get rid of these weird and crazy thoughts, she slowly said, "What about the next thing? In my opinion, the matter of Team Flare is not that simple. Since they are willing to pay such a huge price to destroy everywhere, they must have a big goal."

Firio looked calm. "I have handed over all the information Damir told me and my own inferences to Senior Gejihua. The rest depends on the alliance's analysis. Professionals should do professional things."

As he spoke, he put down the Big Mouth who had regained some energy and was running outside, walked to Nancy, held her hand, and lazily fell on the sofa. Laziness and lethargy were written all over his body. "It's useless to think so much. If something big is going to happen, there will definitely be heroes to save the world. We have the champion, the four kings of the alliance, and some almighty saviors like Aixhuai and AZ. Is it our turn to worry about such a small matter? Instead of tossing about these, it's better to have a good rest. Even if I'm not in the world, it will still function normally."

Nazi laughed in silence and stretched out her hand to hit him: "You lazy guy... you are quite sensible..."

"Jingle Bell"

Before he could finish his words, Nancy, who was playing with Firio, suddenly changed her expression and stopped what she was doing.

A cell phone ringtone she had never heard before came from her purse.

"...Filio, I'm going out to answer a phone call. You take a rest for a while, and we can prepare the energy blocks together when I come back." After a moment's silence, Nazi pretended to be calm and said, then she stood up and was about to leave.

Filio's eyes narrowed, and he vaguely sensed something, and jokingly said, "You have to go out to answer the phone, is it some special fan?"

Nazi shook her head: "No, don't talk nonsense."

"Is that so? That's all right then." Looking at Nancy's tangled look, Firion smiled and said, "Go ahead and answer it. I have complete confidence in you. It was just a little joke."

"I..." Nancy's expression was a little complicated. She looked at Firio with hesitation. She hesitated for a long time, her hands moving back and forth on the zipper, as if she was having a fierce ideological struggle.

After a long time, when the call was about to be automatically disconnected, she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, took out her phone, and said, "It's Zhenniao. I did something with her. Don't say anything, just listen."

When Filio calmed down and nodded slightly, she heaved a sigh of relief and pressed the answer and speaker buttons.

The moment the call was connected, she seemed to have changed her whole face and instantly became cold: "Zhen Niao, have you found what I asked you to check?"

However, the voice coming from the phone was undoubtedly not that of a girl with a bowl-shaped head and glasses.

Because it was a deep male voice.

"Long time no see, Nancy, I'm Sakaki."

The person who appeared on the other side of the phone where Mantori was supposed to be was Sakaki, the current most wanted criminal across regions in the Pokémon League and the leader of Team Rocket, the most powerful evil organization in the history of the League.

"..."

In silence, Nancy's body was completely tense, and she looked around vigilantly, like a lioness ready to go berserk at any time, protecting Firio behind her.

"Don't be nervous. I just saw Managi during the investigation." As if he could read people's minds, Sakaki guessed Nancy's reaction from an unknown distance. His voice was slightly more emotional as he explained, "Things over there are not that simple. Those crazy people called Team Flare have come up with an extremely stupid plan. If we are not careful, all regions may be harmed. However, you don't need to know this directly. I know that the young man who asked you to use this favor must be next to you now, so let him answer the phone."

"I……"

There was panic in Naz's big eyes. Although they had not been in contact for many years, her subconscious fear and awe still made her lose her composure.

Firio silently patted the back of Nancy's hand, his determined eyes conveying a reassuring signal.

Filio took the phone from Nancy's hand and said in a deep voice, "It's our first meeting, but I have heard of you for a long time, Mr. Sakaki. I am Filio."

At an unexpected time, in an unexpected place, and in a way that had never been imagined beforehand, Firion unexpectedly met the man who could be called "the world's most vicious criminal" and had a direct conversation with him.

Chapter 210 What a big event (8000)

"Filio... It's an unfamiliar name, but it's still decent."

The person he was talking to changed from Nancy to Firion, and the faint emotional fluctuations in Sakaki's voice disappeared, as if he was a machine with flesh and blood. The only difference was that even without the ups and downs of the voice, the person in front of him still displayed unparalleled domineering through the phone.

It is an aura that makes people unconsciously identify with and respect him, and it comes from unparalleled self-confidence and strength.

"Thank you for the compliment. What can I do for you?"

Face to face with a strong man who is comparable to the regional champion and even close to the title of legend in his peak period, and the leader of an evil organization who has committed countless crimes and is extremely domineering, you would be lying if you said you were not nervous.

But at this moment, Firio did not seem to be too nervous. His heartbeat just quickened a little bit. Apart from that, everything was normal. Even his voice was flat. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and absorbed all the pressure from the other party's aura.

"You didn't know? I see." Sakaki was a little surprised, but he regained his composure in an instant, arranging the tasks as if he was talking to his subordinates. "Since she didn't tell you, then I won't say anything for her. This is your own business. I am not interested. There is no need to waste time with other polite words. The purpose of my call is to tell you the information about the Flare Team and their plan. Now, remember what I say."

"Okay, I'll get a pen and paper." With an important event ahead of him, Filho did not hesitate. He picked up a piece of white paper and a pen from the coffee table in front of him and placed them in front of him, without any doubt about the authenticity of the words of the most vicious criminal in history on the other end of the phone.

He knew the other person's mind and pattern very well.

A slight sound came through the phone, and before Nancy could speak, Sakaki spoke up:

"First of all, the code name of Team Flash's plan is [Eternal Continent]. According to my intelligence, it has now reached the final stage. Thanks to Carlos's incompetence and the many traitors, although it has not achieved all the goals and suffered heavy losses, it is still very rewarding. In a few days at most, this plan will be completed, and the time left for you is very limited."

"The core of this plan is to create large-scale ecological destruction centered on their headquarters base, forcing the third god of Kalos, Zygarde, to form a complete form and completely pollute it, thereby completely destroying and reconstructing the ecological structure of the Kalos continent and even the world."

"As for how the pollution will happen and to what extent, Team Rocket's intelligence network and technical means have not been able to investigate or deduce it yet, but what is certain is that the situation is likely to spread to other areas, which is why I contacted you. You Kalos people have to solve the mess in Kalos yourselves. Finally, I remind you that their leader is no longer the scientist named Vladari, but his subordinate, the madwoman named Claire - to some extent, she is also a genius, if you don't consider her destructiveness."

"That's all I have to say. As for how you - you and Nancy - use this information, it has nothing to do with me or Team Rocket. Take care of it."

"Okay, I'll take note of it. Thank you for the information." Filio nodded slightly and carefully read the few lines of information on the paper that were shocking and weighty. His heart was in turmoil, but his expression and tone remained calm.

"That's good. No need to thank me. It's just a deal." Sakaki's tone was still calm, without any ups and downs, but Firio felt that there was some fluctuation in his ending tone, showing a bit of satisfaction.

Without time to think about it, Sakaki spoke again: "I thought before that there must be something special about the young man who can make Nancy do so many things. Now it seems to be true. The phone is not a very good way to communicate, but I think we will have a chance to meet in the near future, in the way of Team Rocket. Goodbye."

"Du...du..."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Firio could say anything, there was only a busy tone on the phone. Sakaki, who valued time and words as much as gold, hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, leaving the two of them staring at each other in bewilderment.

As always, he kept talking to himself and didn't give others any room to refuse.

Sakaki of the earth is still as arrogant and domineering as he was back then, as if he is the center of the entire world. He takes on everything and controls everything.

Even after experiencing tragic failure, I never changed.

-----------------

The room was silent for a long time. Nazhi sat on the sofa awkwardly, rubbing her legs back and forth. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.

Finally, it was Firio who broke the silence first: "Just now I heard Sakaki talking about favors. Considering this number, it is Manatori who owes you a favor. Am I right?"

"...Yeah." Nancy lowered her head, her tone soft, full of the lack of confidence after her secret was discovered, "When she was in Team Rocket, Manori was still a rookie and was seriously injured during a mission. Ma Zhishi and I saved her once, so she agreed to do one thing for each of us unconditionally. Ma Zhishi had used her a long time ago, and I never used her. After that, I left Team Rocket for a long time and had no chance. This time, because I was worried about your condition, I asked her and her special forces to help me investigate."

"She's Sakaki's secretary, right? This is a really valuable favor. I'll use it for this..."

"Originally, I didn't intend to use this to ask her to do anything since I quit Team Rocket. It's not a big deal." Nancy turned her head away, her tone erratic. "After seeing you get hurt by Team Flare, I got angry and secretly contacted her when you weren't paying attention. I didn't expect that person to find out... I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

"How can it be a trouble? I understand everything you said, and since I knew you were willing to help me, I have been very happy. I'm not lying to you."

His eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc, and after holding Nancy's hand, Firio spoke softly with a gentle smile.

"I... um..." She half-heartedly pulled it out, but under Firio's strong hands, it didn't move surprisingly. Nancy gave up this meaningless attempt and lowered her head slightly, "But... Firio, do you mind that I still have contact with Team Rocket? They are probably even more..."

"That's nothing. Judging a person is never based solely on his social status. This is true for the Alliance and the Rockets. What I hate is the existence of the Rockets as a whole, because it only destroys and damages the existing society without any new creation, but instead builds a hotbed of evil. But this does not mean that I will indiscriminately deny everyone in it. The two overlap, but they are not the same."

Seeing that Nazi seemed to understand something, Filio patted the back of her hand and continued: "How should I put it... I don't like Team Rocket. If I encounter them doing evil, I will definitely stop them. If I can If you can do it. But all this has nothing to do with you now, and it will not affect the relationship between you and me at all - because I believe that Nazi in my eyes is real, and I also believe that my judgment is accurate. This may Not very politically correct, but I don’t care about that anyway, nothing is more important than the people and things I cherish.”

"......Yeah." Nancy nodded obediently, looking at Firion with eyes as clear as water, her endless affection evident in her words.

Firio was a little overwhelmed by such a look, but in his confusion, he suddenly thought of the last words left by Sakaki before the phone was hung up, and he was suddenly frightened.

"Ahem! But having said that, it's not that simple..." He coughed dryly and shook his head at Nancy's puzzled gaze. "After all, I still don't want to face someone like Sakaki. Although he is different from those other crazy people who are ambitious but incompetent and only care about destroying the world, he is not a normal person after all... Let's not talk about anything else. If we really fight, my small body can't stand it. He is a scary guy who can compete with the league champion and even the legend."

"puff"

Seeing Firio thinking seriously and worriedly about a solution, Nancy couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You... you think about these meaningless things all day long!" Nancy's tone was a little playful, "He is no longer the Sakaki of the past, whether in strength or ambition, including his body and lifespan. Besides, don't I still have you? I will protect you, as long as I am here, there will be no problem."

"Well, that being said..." Firio relaxed his frown and sighed, "After all, he is a scary guy who only lost to a monster among monsters like Red by one move. How can an ordinary person like me compare to him? It's better to stay away from him, otherwise it will be very troublesome. I just want to live a peaceful life with less stress, please."

"Here we go again! You're always like this when you talk about these people!" Nancy pouted, pulled her hand out in anger, bent her fingers, and tapped Firio's head again and again: "You're not an ordinary person, cheer up, you lazy guy!"

"It hurts! It hurts when you hit me!" Firio covered his head exaggeratedly and pretended to be terrified. "I don't think you should be a superpower expert. If you change your career to fighting, you will definitely be a good fighter. Maybe you can even win a championship or something."
