Pokémon: Blessed by Fate, starting with the destruction of Tyranitar.

It's not too late to challenge the Waterway Gym after you've leveled up.

After arranging his next action plan, Li Huowang quickened his pace and entered Shuimai City.

Just as rumored, the architectural style of Watervein City is very distinctive, as if one has suddenly arrived in a foreign country.

Li Huowang wandered around for a bit, found a place to eat, and then it was almost dark.

Let's find a hotel!

He's been sleeping in the suburbs these past few days, and now he really misses his soft, big bed.

269. The Rockets duo set a trap!

Li Huowang decided to find a hotel to rest, and after making up his mind, he started heading northwest of Shuimai City.

He had only taken a few steps when a person suddenly jumped out of the alley and blocked his way.

They were two staff members wearing clothes with the word "tour guide" on them.

A young man and a young woman.

"Is this your first time visiting Watervein City, sir?"

Need a guide? We know this place very well and guarantee you'll get excellent value for your money!

The two men surrounded Li Huowang from the left and right.

The Zapdos behind Li Huowang immediately stared at them warily, feeling immense pressure. The two dared not get too close, but still did not leave.

"September 17th" Li Huowang carefully examined them, and the system randomly gave him a prompt.

He immediately realized that the two people were actually the Rockets' duo, Kosaburo and Yamato.

Kosaburo and Yamato hold significant positions within Team Rocket. Compared to Meowth, Kojiro, and Musashi, these two are more valued by the team leader.

Meow Meow, Kojiro and Musashi, Li Huowang have already met once.

This is the first time I've met Kosaburo and Yamato.

Because they are highly regarded by the Rockets' star player Giovanni, the two of them always come with a mission when they appear on the field.

Li Huowang was very curious: were these two guys dressed as tour guides in Shuimai City waiting for him on purpose, or did they bump into each other by chance?

"Hello you all!"

Li Huowang, who originally only wanted to find a hotel to rest, suddenly changed his mind and decided to have some fun with these two guys.

He spoke with a smile, breaking the deadlock.

Kosaburo and Yamato's eyes lit up when they saw that he had responded to them.

"Hello! Where would you like to go? We know this place well and can take you there!" Kosaburo said first.

Li Huowang nodded and agreed to the suggestion.

"Okay! I want to go for a walk in the waterside park. I heard that in Watervein City, the park is decorated with all kinds of colorful lights at night, which is very beautiful."

"Haha, you heard it's true, it really is beautiful. Come with us, we'll take you there!"

After saying that, the two of them walked ahead and led the way.

Li Huowang followed in their footsteps without hesitation.

On the way, the two of them took turns explaining the scenery and landforms of Shuimai City to Li Huowang.

Li Huowang listened attentively. Although the two guys were posing as tour guides, they did indeed know a lot about Water Vein City.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them led Li Huowang through a maze of twists and turns until they found themselves on a very secluded path.

The path was lined with trees on both sides, with a streetlamp every ten meters or so, and the end was pitch black, with no one knowing where it led.

Li Huowang sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped to ask a question.

"Weren't we going to the lively water park? Is this the road that leads to the park? Why is it so remote?"

Kosaburo and Yamato exchanged a glance, seemingly exchanging some information.

One of them then answered without changing his expression.

“That’s right, sir. That park is a bit far. We’re taking you on a shortcut. Just walk for another ten minutes or so, go around a big rock, and you’ll see the park.”

Amazon also chimed in.

"Yes, don't worry, we are very professional and will definitely not let you go the wrong way."

Li Huowang listened to their serious-sounding nonsense and sneered inwardly.

However, he remained outwardly calm.

"Oh, I see. You're so kind!"

"Hehe, it's what we should do, let's keep going!"

Kosaburo and Amazon visibly breathed a sigh of relief...

Next, they led Li Huowang forward for a while, and finally arrived at the boulder they had mentioned.

There was no light behind the rock. The Zapdos behind Li Huowang seemed to sense the danger and began to stir restlessly.

Li Huowang's eyes narrowed instantly; there was a trap behind the rock.

So this was Kosaburo and Yamato's purpose?

"Okay, here we are!"

As expected, Kosaburo stopped and excitedly pointed out the directions to Li Huowang.

"Sir, you can see the park once you go around this rock."

Taking advantage of the poor lighting, which prevented the two people opposite him from seeing his expression, Li Huowang gave up on pretending and his face turned completely cold.

"Wow, that was fast! You guys are really dedicated!"

"Hehe, it's what we should do, sir, please!"

Both of them spoke with great anticipation, completely unaware of the change in Li Huowang's expression at that moment.

Li Huowang turned around as if to leave, but then stopped halfway.

"Oh right, I almost forgot, you guys helped me find the way, so I should accept some payment from you."

Kosaburo and Yamado were extremely anxious. They didn't want any reward; they just wanted to see Li Huowang fall into their trap as soon as possible.

In order not to waste any more time, the two refused the payment that Li Huowang offered without hesitation.

"No payment is needed; this is voluntary. Go now!"

"Yep!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the two saw Li Huowang take out a Master Ball that was flashing blue light from his pocket.

270. Rockets player injured!

Poké Balls also have different levels, with the Master Ball being the highest-level Poké Ball, something every trainer dreams of obtaining.

Now, this top-tier Masterball suddenly appeared before the two men, leaving them speechless with astonishment.

I was shocked, and a little incredulous.

"Is this our payment?"

To their astonishment, Li Huowang produced another Master Ball and said in a nonchalant tone.

"That's right, this is the reward I plan to give you, one Master Ball each."

"I wonder if you are satisfied with this compensation?"

Kosaburo and Yamato were so excited they almost shouted out loud.

Masterballs are incredibly rare and precious, and for the other party to offer such a treasure as payment for guiding them for free is an absolute steal!

Unless they're idiots, how could they possibly refuse such a good thing?

"Of course, we're very satisfied!"

"I'm very satisfied! You're such a nice person!"

The two were so excited that they were incoherent, and their eyes were fixed on the Master Ball in Li Huowang's hand, afraid that if they weren't careful, the treasure they had just obtained would fly away!

Li Huowang sneered inwardly as he looked at the greed in their eyes.

He quietly waved his hand, giving the Zapdos, which had already circled around to the two of them, the command to attack.

Kosaburo and Yamato were completely preoccupied and didn't even notice when Zapdos approached them. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late to summon their Pokémon to fight back.

Zapdos unleashed its attack move, Thunderbolt!

The released electric current paralyzed Kosaburo and Yamato in an instant, and the two of them convulsed and fell down.

Li Huowang told Zapdos to retreat, then grabbed Kosaburo and Yamato by the feet and threw them behind a rock to test the trap.

First, there was the sound of two people hitting the ground behind the rock, followed by an explosion. The impact even made Li Huowang take a few steps back.

There was only one explosion, and then there was no more sound behind the rock.

"There was just a bomb buried behind the rock?"

"No, the trap these two guys made shouldn't be that simple!"

Li Huowang took a searchlight out of his backpack and carefully walked behind the rock to investigate.

The smoke from the explosion had dissipated, leaving a deep crater in the ground, at least three meters high.

Besides the shattered stones at the edges, there were some strange vines, which came from some kind of grass-type spirit.

"Zetsukuyon, go down and check!"

Zapdos immediately flew down, and with its own flashing effect, Li Huowang was able to see the situation at the bottom clearly.

The soil at the bottom was quite damp, and there were two human-shaped imprints.

Each humanoid mark was lying flat on its back, clearly indicating that Kosaburo and Yamato had both fallen badly.

But now, both of them have disappeared.

Zapdos searched the area below and returned with the message.

"Both of them ran away; they're not down there."

Li Huowang was not particularly surprised by the result.

Kosaburo and Yamato are so cautious, they couldn't possibly have not made backup plans. There must have been other Team Rocket members around the trap, and it was those Team Rocket members who rescued the two injured people.

Furthermore, they had Grass-type Pokémon by their side, which is why vines were left at the scene that didn't match the scorched ground.

"They ran west!"

Zapdos made a new discovery, finding clues left behind by Kosaburo and Yamato when they escaped, thus determining the direction they fled in.

But Li Huowang didn't plan to chase after him.

Kosaburo and Yamato were injured by the bombs they had planted, which can be considered a considerable punishment.

Moreover, they are surrounded by many Rockets members, and a fierce battle is inevitable if they catch up.

Li Huowang had traveled such a long way and didn't want to fight anymore.

"Let's go back."

Li Huowang then returned along the same route he had taken initially.

He met a passerby who, upon hearing that he was looking for a hotel, recommended the 917 Pier Hotel in Waterveil City.

Li Huowang knew about the dock hotel in Shuimai City. It was a very interesting hotel, and it was said that you had to get a special membership card to enter.

Without a membership card, the dockside hotel's doors are always closed.

Li Huowang was completely captivated by this interesting dock; since he was already there, he was determined to take a look.

However, he hasn't received his membership card yet, so he can't get in at all.

"I really want to go there, but I don't have a membership card, so I can't get in."

"It's alright, I can give you one for free!"

After the man finished speaking, he actually took out a black membership card from his pocket, which had the words "Dock Hotel" written on it.

Li Huowang has 71257 unexpected points, and he doesn't understand why this guy 6368[Linglong] Bai would directly give him a membership card.
