Chapter 38 The impending purge and Yamanashi's phone call (Please read, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

Tabletop City, Padiya League Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

As the president of the Padia Alliance, Yaji's workload has always been the highest in the alliance. Even Aoki, a corporate slave who works overtime all year round, dares not complain about the heavy workload in front of her.

Just as Ye Ci was processing the documents sent by the Department of Foreign Affairs, a rhythmic knocking sounded in the office.

"Knock knock knock."

"Please come in." Ye Ci temporarily shifted her gaze from the documents and looked up in the direction of the door. She saw an elderly man with white-rimmed glasses, gray hair, and a serious expression walk in from outside the door.

If Carl were here, he would recognize the man immediately; he is none other than Claver, the principal of Orange Academy in the main storyline of the game "Vermilion/Purple".

In the game's storyline, Clavel, in order to investigate the truth about the Sky Star Team, goes by the alias "Nie Kai" and assists the protagonist in breaking through five Sky Star Team bases. After learning the truth about the Sky Star Team, he apologizes to the Sky Star Team members for his misunderstanding.

It can be said that Claver absolutely deserves the title of "educator".

"Oh! Isn't this our 'Nie Kai' classmate?" Ye Ci teased with a smile after seeing Clavel, but her tone immediately turned serious upon seeing Clavel's somber expression. "Is there any progress on the matter I asked you to investigate?"

“Yes, President Yeci.” Claver sat down in the chair facing the desk at Yeci’s gesture and handed Yeci a USB drive.

Ye Ci took the USB drive, skillfully inserted it into the corresponding port on the computer case, and began browsing the data recorded on the USB drive.

The air in the office gradually quieted down, with only the sound of mouse clicks echoing in the air.

After Ye Ci finished reading the last document, her voice, clearly suppressing her anger, rang out in the otherwise quiet office: "So, under my jurisdiction, Orange Academy actually has a large-scale school bullying incident?"

Claver looked directly into Yeci's sapphire blue eyes, which were already brimming with anger, and said in a heavy tone, "Yes, Chairman."

"Oh."

Clavel, who knew Ye Ci's personality, knew that the other party was completely enraged this time.

Claver vaguely remembered that the last time Yeci was this angry was because of the large-scale escape of the "monsters" from the Padia Pit.

After resolving that incident, Ye Ci "cleaned up" all the people involved in the Padiya Alliance. After that incident, the Padiya Alliance completely became Ye Ci's personal fiefdom.

And this time...

Claver didn't want to think about it any further. He composed himself and asked, "President Yeci, how do you intend to handle this matter?"

"How should we deal with it?" Ye Ci's tone rose slightly, leaving no room for doubt. "Of course, we should clean up Orange Academy from top to bottom and get rid of all the scum in the academy."

“Okay, please feel free to contact me if you need my help.” Claver stood up and took his leave.

Watching the door slowly close, Ye Ci tapped her fingers lightly on the table. After a moment of contemplation, she finally dialed a familiar phone number.

"Hello, is this Mu Fei? Come over here now, I've already investigated that matter thoroughly."

"Well, I'll explain the details to you once you arrive."

"Okay, see you later."

……

In a dark and gloomy dormitory at Orange Academy, a girl who had been following the matter closely has somehow learned everything that happened in the office.

"So the situation at the academy has already attracted the attention of the higher-ups in the Padia League." Peony stared blankly at the "surveillance" on the computer screen, her grip on the large Eevee plush toy tightening.

"So, what was the point of everything I did before?"

Peony glanced at her phone screen and saw that a group called "Tianxing Team" was constantly popping up with new messages.

"Boss, when do we start Operation Starry Sky?"

"Heh, the boss hasn't even notified us yet, what's your rush?"

"you!"

Peony sighed deeply, slowly typed a line of text in the dialog box, and then deleted it after a while.

"Forget it, let's see how President Ye Ci handles it before telling them the truth," Peony thought to herself.

Karl, who was far away on the outskirts of Little Key Town, was unaware of the situation in the office of the Padia League president, nor did he know the impact his previous actions had had on the true leader of the Celestial Stars, "The Queen of the Cassiopeia".

At this moment, Carl, with the help of a group of Pokémon, had just harvested all the crops on the farm.

Looking at the dozen or so baskets full of "freshly harvested" crops in front of him, Karl couldn't help but put on a bright, genuine smile.

"Is this the joy of a bountiful harvest?" Carl murmured to himself, then looked up and glanced at the Pokémon surrounding him. "Everyone, today is the first harvest day on our farm, so at noon today, I'll have Urshifu and Serperior use these crops to make a sumptuous lunch and delicious desserts for everyone!"

"Roar! (Yay!)" Charizard was the first to cheer. As a special individual among Charizards, it has an amazing appetite since childhood and has a passion for rice that ordinary Pokémon cannot match. Perhaps only Snorlax can compare with it.

Upon hearing Karl's words, the Steel Raven excitedly flapped its wings in response.

For Corviknight, the key point of Carl's words was the dessert made by Serperior. After all, it eats Bear's food every day, but it can only enjoy delicious desserts when Serperior is in a good mood.

Having learned a few days ago how good the farm food was, the Ubo brothers cheered, and the Earth King, who was beside them, subconsciously twisted its body to express its joy.

The winged cat, which had somehow snuggled into Karl's arms, also barked happily. However, the winged cat was so happy not because of what Karl said, but simply because Karl was happy.

"What's wrong, Loto?"

"Why are you all so happy, Loto?"

"So today is harvest day, Loto."

"Why didn't anyone notify me, Loto?"

An annoying washing machine suddenly appeared from some corner and started firing at Karl.

"Think about it again. Did I really not tell you?" Karl slapped the cleaning Rotom impatiently. "I already told you last night when you were on your phone researching body swapping. You just didn't pay attention to what I said, okay?"

"Ahaha, is that so, Rotom?" Rotom scratched his head awkwardly, then immediately changed the subject, "By the way, someone just called you. I checked, and the caller ID showed the name Dr. Yamanashi, Rotom."

"Oh?" Carl took the phone from Rotom, looking at the caller ID with some confusion. "Dr. Yamanashi contacting me at this time? Could it be..."

Chapter 39 Ye Ci: What's going on? (Please read, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

"Everyone, you are free to move around now!"

While pondering the reason for Professor Yamanashi's call, Carl spoke to the Pokémon surrounding him, "I'll have Corviknight notify you when it's almost lunchtime."

As soon as Carl finished speaking, all the Pokémon scattered.

With a small fairy milk on its head, the Monarch Serpent solemnly led New Leaf Cat to training, while Little Upo followed behind Swampert to play in the swamp that had just been cleared yesterday.

Carl returned to the farmhouse with Zhenyi, sat down on a deckchair in the porch, and casually dialed Dr. Yamanashi's phone number.

"Hello, Dr. Yamanashi, good afternoon," Carl greeted first. "What's wrong? You called me earlier."

"Good morning, Carl." Dr. Yamanashi's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. "Nothing major has happened here, but Zapdos has been a bit irritable lately. I suspect it's because it's been separated from you for too long. Fortunately, we've collected most of its data, so I'm calling to let you know you can bring it to your farm."

"Really? That's great!" Carl said excitedly. "I'll head to the Pokémon Center right away. Please wait a moment."

"Okay, give me a call when you get there," Dr. Yamanashi replied with a smile.

"Thank you for your help."

After hanging up the phone, Carl looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the Charizard lying on the lawn, basking in the sun.

"Huh? (What's wrong?)"

"Hehe, Charizard..."

Ten minutes later, Carl returned to the Pokémon Center in the center of Sparrowtown. While operating the Pokémon Transfer Device, he dialed Professor Yamanashi's number.

Not long after, a Great Ball appeared in the slot of the Pokémon Transfer Device. After taking the Great Ball out of the device, Carl didn't linger in the Pokémon Center and quickly walked out of it.

The moment Carl stepped out of the Pokémon Center, Zapdos, who had been getting impatient inside its Poké Ball, eagerly popped out.

"Screech—(I'm so suffocating!)"

The Zapdos's powerful, penetrating cry drew curious glances from trainers near the Pokémon Center.

The proud Zapdos completely ignored the others' gazes. It flapped its wings and came to Karl's side, poking him with its long, thin beak, its cry filled with resentment: "Screech~~ (What do you mean by abandoning me to that perverted old man and running off with the others? Do you know how miserable I've been lately?)"

"Okay, okay, I've come to pick you up."

Carl stroked Zapdos's smooth golden feathers and comforted it, "Today happens to be the farm's first harvest day. Not only will you get to eat a feast prepared by Master Bear, but you'll also get to taste a cake made by Serperior using strawberries grown on the farm."

"Screech! (That's more like it!)"

Upon hearing Carl's words, Zapdos immediately flapped its wings slightly, gesturing for Carl to sit on its back.

Karl naturally wouldn't refuse Zapdos's suggestion; after all, who could refuse to use a legendary Pokémon as a mount?

On the way back to the farm, Zapdos began to complain to Carl about its life over the past month, such as how those perverts had groped it and fed it various berries instead of delicious meals every day.

Although the white-robed monsters were indeed skilled at massage and offered it high-quality fruit, Zapdos eventually couldn't stand it any longer as the days went by.

After all, Zapdos is a Pokémon that has seen the world. With Karl's masterpiece as a precedent, those people's massage skills and berries are nothing special to Zapdos.

Amidst Zapdos's complaints, Carl rode Zapdos back to the farm.

Since Carl had informed all the Pokémon that Zapdos would be returning to the team before he went out, the Pokémon gathered together for the first time to welcome Zapdos back.

Time quickly passed to 2 PM. After enjoying the feast prepared by Master Kuma, Carl and the Pokémon were enjoying Serperior's strawberry cake on the lawn outside.

Although Serperior made a very large strawberry cake, it couldn't withstand the sixteen Pokémon dividing it up. So when only the last piece of strawberry cake was left on the plate, an accident happened.

"Roar! (This cake is mine!)" Charizard glared angrily at Zapdos, who had just rejoined the team today.

Zapdos glared back fearlessly: "Screech! (I just arrived today, this piece of cake should be mine!)"

The two Pokémon were locked in a fierce battle, and just then, Carl stepped between them, saying helplessly, "Since you both want to eat, let's have a fight!"

"Roar! (I'm afraid this old thing won't dare to fight!)" Charizard crossed its arms and exhaled a stream of hot air from its nostrils.

"Screech—(Who's afraid of who! While I was out there making my way, you little thing was probably still nursing somewhere!)" Fine crackling lightning flickered among the Zapdos's golden feathers, making it look very intimidating.

The Swampert, which had been quietly watching from the sidelines, tilted its head, a bit of cream still smeared on its lips: "Swamp? (Are you two going to fight?)"

To decide who gets the last piece of strawberry cake, Carl leads his Pokémon to an open space far from the farm.

At this moment, Charizard and Zapdos flapped their wings and flew in the air together, their eyes colliding across the distance, almost sparking a fire.

"Ahem, before we begin, I want to make one thing clear: this fight must end when the point is reached, otherwise none of you will get the last piece of the cake. Understand?"

After seeing Charizard and Zapdos nod to indicate that they had heard him, Carl raised his arm and swung it downwards: "Battle begins!"

"Roar!"

"Wow!"

The instant Karl finished speaking, dark clouds instantly enveloped the sky for dozens of miles around, and large raindrops began to fall from the sky, turning into a torrential downpour in the blink of an eye.

As one of the three legendary birds that control the weather, Zapdos has an innate talent for manipulating the weather.

Although it is not the Zapdos that inherited the divine position in its lineage, ordinary Pokémon are completely unable to wrest control of the weather from it.

Even Hakron, which has a strong ability to control the weather, is no exception.

Amidst the torrential rain, Charizard shuddered, its intense, almost tangible fire energy instantly evaporating the rain within a ten-meter radius around it. The next moment, the flames at the tip of its tail began to surge, and raging flames appeared on its body surface.

With a sudden flap of its wings, Charizard's body transformed into an orange-red streak of fire, crashing into Zapdos, which was 300 meters away.

At the same time, Ye Ci, who was discussing the cleaning plan with Mu Fei in the office, suddenly received an urgent notification.

"What do you mean by 'it was sunny in Little Key Town, and suddenly a torrential downpour'?" Ye Ci looked at the information on the screen. "Could it be that some monster I don't know about has escaped from the giant pit?"

Chapter 40 The Battle Ends Abruptly (Please read, add to your favorites, and vote with monthly tickets)

Upon receiving the news, Yeci immediately set off at full speed in his Dorombarut for Little Key Town.

Even from a distance of over a hundred kilometers, Ye Ci frowned as he looked at the unusual-looking rain cloud that covered Xiaoshi Town.

As they got closer to Little Key Town, the rain intensified. Fortunately, Doronbaluto kept using his energy to protect Yeci, preventing the president from turning into a wet-haired beauty.

Using the Alliance's specially designed communicator, Ye Ci quickly located Miss Officer Jenny and a group of police officers who were investigating the emergency on the outskirts of Little Key Town.

Although Officer Jenny was wearing a police raincoat, her short, dark green hair was stuck to both sides of her face, making her look somewhat disheveled.

If it weren't for her Arcanine constantly using fire-type energy to keep her warm, she and the police officer next to her would probably be in even worse shape.

However, when Miss Officer Jenny saw Dorombalto emerge from the rain and the figure standing on top of it, her heart finally settled down.

"President Yeci!"

The officers who were with Officer Jenny breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her call.

"Report the situation on the ground." Ye Ci's calm voice came through the rain, sounding somewhat distorted to Miss Officer Jenny.

However, Miss Officer Jenny didn't care about anything else. She took a deep breath of the humid air and then carefully reported to Yeci about the sudden downpour and the intelligence they had gathered.

"You mean, there are two Pokémon battling in the center of the storm?" Ye Ci's furrowed brows relaxed slightly. "I understand. I'll handle this from now on. You guys go back first."

"Yes!" X5
