I am the second in command of Team Rocket!

Chapter 172 The Financial Crisis of the Rockets

on the airship

唰

Luo Yuan and Chaomeng appeared next to the real bird.

"How's the situation?"

Zhentiao, who was holding a tablet computer to calculate the cost of this operation and the losses of Team Rocket, suddenly heard someone next to him and was startled.

It wasn't until she saw that the person coming was Luo Yuan that she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Zhenniao looked at Luo Yuan and Chaomeng with a trace of curiosity in his eyes: "Over there...is it over?"

I looked at my watch and saw that there were still more than ten seconds left until 10 minutes.

"You mean Du and Juzi have been resolved." Luo Yuan replied casually.

"What do you mean it's solved?" Zhenniao asked doubtfully.

She knew that there were three alliance kings gathered there.

Among them is Du, the king with championship strength.

So before, she just wanted Luo Yuan to help hold Du and Ju Zier for 10 minutes, which was enough time for her to evacuate.

Now Luo Yuan said it was solved?

Is it....

A bold idea suddenly appeared in Zhenniao's mind.

"It's solved literally." Luo Yuan confirmed the real bird's idea: "All of Shiba's Pokémon have lost their combat abilities. Although Du and Juzi still have a few Pokémon that can move, they basically can't give them to them in a short time. What trouble have we caused?”

Luo Yuan briefly told the real bird about the previous battle process.

"!"

After listening to Luo Yuan's words, Zhenniao was shocked.

She never expected that Luo Yuan could kill the combination of Du + Juzi + Xiba alone. .

Although the Rockets have grown stronger in the Kanto region over the years, it is undeniable that the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto are indeed a shackle that restricts the continued development of the Rockets.

Without their suppression, Team Rocket would have broken out of Kanto and gone to the world by now.

Instead of just building a small base like Luo Yuan did in Fengyuan before.

But now... Thinking of Luo Yuan defeating the three kings, Zhenniao had an unreal feeling like he was in a dream.

But feeling is feeling, Zhenniao knows Luo Yuan very well.

On such serious matters, Luo Yuan always has his say and never exaggerates.

When he said it was solved, it meant that he really defeated Wataru, Kikuko and Shiba.

Suddenly, the real bird became energetic and its eyes flashed.

Looking at the expression on Zhenniao's face, Luo Yuan knew what she was thinking.

"It's nothing worth worrying about. It would be abnormal if Mewtwo and Deoxys can't deal with Watanabe and Kikuko."

Deoxys + Mewtwo, the combination of two divine beasts, especially the bug that Deoxys can switch forms at will.

Not to mention the three kings, the four kings would at most make Deoxys and Chaomeng pay some price, but they could not change the outcome.

Luo Yuan didn't speak when he saw the real bird was deep in thought.

Instead, he picked up the tablet computer on the table that had statistics on Team Rocket's losses in this incident, and glanced at it.

Looking at Luo Yuan, he frowned: "The loss is so heavy?"

The situation was worse than he imagined.

As Team Rocket's second largest region in the Kanto region.

The Rainbow City base also serves as part of the warehouse.

It contains a large amount of 'Team Rockets Royal Three' that the Rockets use to distribute to new team members, as well as a lot of cash and rare props.

Although the details have not yet been calculated, only rough statistics show that the value of the Rockets' bases, equipment, and props lost this time exceeds tens of billions.

And this loss does not include the Rainbow Game Center, which can provide the Rockets with stable cash flow and also shoulders certain money laundering functions.

Including Rainbow Game Hall, the loss is simply inestimable.

In this regard, as a senior cadre of the Rockets, Luo Yuan, who considers himself to be the second-in-command in the Rockets after Sakaki, and regards the Rockets industry as his own, feels very bad.

Looking at the Rockets' losses, he felt that he had dealt lightly with Watanabe and Kikuko.

In fact, Zhenniao's loss was the result of Zhenniao's efforts to recover.

The real bird had already rescued a batch of supplies when rescuing the Rockets, but some of the most precious props and cash were tightly sealed by the alliance when the base was breached.

The remaining ordinary props... The amount of supplies that Team Rocket stored in the base was so staggering that it would take them several days to move them.

"There's nothing we can do about it." Shintori also sighed.

This is already the limit of what she can do.

And the Rockets' financial situation this year is not good.

She is in charge of the Rockets' finances and knows the current situation of the Rockets very well.

Due to this year's St. Ann incident, the Rampur giant jellyfish incident, and the Rockets' activity in the Seven Islands incident, tourists have become concerned about traveling to Kanto, which has had a great impact on Kanto's tourism industry.

The Rockets have invested in many industries such as amusement parks and hotels.

This has a very intuitive impact on the Rockets' revenue this year.

The advancement of the previous Mewtwo manufacturing plan drained most of the Rockets' cash flow. Although Mewtwo was finally produced, the destruction of the new island base cost the Rockets hundreds of billions.

This has already made the Rockets' funds very tight this year.

The one billion previously allocated to Luo Yuan was all allocated by Sakaki from other projects. If the Rockets' previous financial situation was based on Sakaki's style, it would be impossible to allocate only one billion to build the Hoenn branch.

Now Rainbow Base has been attacked again, making Team Rocket's financial situation even worse.

Zhenniao told Luo Yuan the connection.

Luo Yuan: "emmm..."

He has always been all about spending money and paid little attention to the Rockets' financial situation.

Listening to what Zhen Niao said, the situation of the Rockets does seem to be a little bad.

Luo Yuan has always regarded himself as the second-in-command of the Rockets, and he felt that he needed to do something.

After all, he won the battle with Du and Juzi. There is no reason for the winner to suffer heavy losses.

"Do you know where the Alliance stores the confiscated items?"

"It's stored in the base under the game hall." Zhentiao said.

After saying that, it seemed that he realized what Luo Yuan was planning to do, and Zhenniao was about to speak.

But she saw Luo Yuan giving her an OK gesture to reassure her, and then Chaomeng next to him put his arm on Luo Yuan's shoulder again.

One person and one Pokémon disappeared on the flying airship.

Looking at the office where she was alone again, Shinori actually wanted to say that she just needed to spend this time.

Without the continuous blood-sucking of the Mewtwo Manufacturing Plan, the Rockets' financial pressure is much lighter now than before.

But looking at Luo Yuan who had disappeared, she silently swallowed back what she was about to say.

Then, the real bird picked up the phone on the table: "Pay close attention to the situation of Rainbow City and the alliance, and notify me immediately if the alliance makes any moves!"

Chapter 173 Alliance’s Response Plan

In the sky, Luo Yuan and Chaomeng were suspended in the air, looking down.

Chaomeng asked with a puzzled expression on his face: "Why do we continue to fight?"

"Because we are in financial crisis."

“What is a financial crisis?”

As a Pokémon that was just over a month old, Mewtwo's IQ is far higher than that of ordinary people, coupled with its huge telekinesis and its amazing learning speed, its age limits its thinking.

From design to birth, Mewtwo was created and trained for the purpose of combat.

Limited by this, Chaomeng naturally does not understand what cash flow is and what financial crisis is.

That's why it has this doubt.

It doesn't know what it's fighting for.

Hearing Chaomeng's question, Luo Yuan's mouth twitched.

He thought it was easy to get along with Chaomeng before, but now he finally understands how difficult Chaomeng is.

Maybe too many human parts were added when making Mewtwo.

Although Chaomeng looks very mature now, he is essentially like a three or five-year-old child, full of curiosity about everything.

When I encounter something, I always like to ask why.

Luo Yuan was less worried than Deoxys, who kept silent and was as loyal as a tool man.

No wonder I will fall into the philosophical issue of finding the meaning of life in the future.

However, considering that Sakaki entrusted Chaomeng to him and that he got along well with Chaomeng, Luo Yuan felt that he still needed to answer Chaomeng.

So she didn't ignore Mewtwo's question.

Luo Yuan told Chaomeng in a very simple and easy-to-understand way.

"Due to the alliance's attack, our Rockets have suffered heavy losses. Now our finances are very tight. If we don't have money, we will have nothing to eat. What we want to get back this time is our food money." Luo Yuan instilled a strange concept into Chaomeng .

But this is not wrong.

If the Rockets are in financial crisis and run out of money, Sakaki will definitely cut the Rockets' benefits in order to tide over the difficulties.

Of course, the current financial situation of the Rockets is still far from running out of money, but the truth is this.

Upon hearing this, Chaomeng nodded in understanding.

Luo Yuan didn't care whether Chaomeng understood it or not. Anyway, on the surface, Chaomeng no longer had any doubts, and was replaced by determination.

"Let's go, so that we can have food to eat in the future."

"To have food to eat!"

Responding to Luo Yuan through telepathy, Chaomeng and Luo Yuan fell towards the Rockets base that was sealed by the alliance below.

..............

Watari felt like he was cursed with bad luck.

Otherwise, it is obvious that the kings in other regions are only dealing with ordinary criminal organizations, so why would it be his turn to encounter enemies with mythical beasts?

Thinking of this, Du felt even more depressed.

But he also knew that as the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, he was equivalent to the leader of all alliance trainers in Kanto.

No matter what he thinks in his heart, he cannot show negative emotions at this time.

"Huh~" Watari took a long breath and regained his composure.

He said to Xiba and Juzi who were sitting opposite him.

"As for K, a senior member of Team Rocket, you have all fought against him. How likely is it that he is a technology hunter who was active in the Hoenn Alliance before?"

This is the top priority of this post-war summary discussion.

As the leader of the Kanto Kings, Watari must figure out the identity of this enemy.

"Because 'K' only used two divine beasts this time, we didn't get much information. According to the information I learned about the technology hunters before, the only thing the two sides have in common is that they both use Deoxys." Juzi leaned on crutches and said in a low voice.

"I tend to think that Tech Hunter is the vest of Team Rocket cadre 'K'." Shiba also joined the discussion: "According to previous information, Tech Hunter and Team Rocket have cooperated many times, but I believe that for people like them, No matter how close the cooperation relationship is, it is impossible to lend the sacred beast to the other party."

Shiba's words attracted the approval of Du and Kikuko.

So did they.
