I am the second in command of Team Rocket!

The other party's words revealed a fact that Lusamine was unwilling to accept.

"Didn't I introduce myself? Sorry, I am the general secretary of the Rockets, Mantori. This is the first time we meet, Chairman Lusamine." Mantori smiled.

........

Lusamine, led by the real bird, walked all the way to the conference room in the building.

Along the way, the familiar faces that came and went in the past have disappeared, replaced by unfamiliar faces patrolling everywhere.

Although these people were wearing the uniforms of the Aether Foundation, whenever the real bird passed by with her, these people would stop and salute the real bird no matter what they were doing.

These guys are definitely Rockets.

Lusamine, who had her Poké Ball confiscated, did not struggle needlessly. She just looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar ether paradise in front of her with cold eyes, her heart getting colder and colder.

This base that once belonged to the Aether Foundation has been completely controlled by Team Rocket.

She followed the real bird all the way to the conference room. Before she even got close, Lusamine saw two people walking out.

One was Zaobo, who made her hate her to the point of gnashing her teeth, and the other was Guzma, who also betrayed her.

Seeing the different expressions on the faces of Lusamine Guzma and Zaobo, Guzma's eyes were evasive, and she still felt guilty about her betrayal, but Zaobo was the complete opposite. Not only did he not feel guilty, but A smile appeared.

Lusamine stared at Zaobo deeply, without saying anything, she walked directly past and followed the real bird into the conference room.

At this time, it was Luo Yuan who was standing in the conference room!

"Luo Yuan!"

As soon as she saw Luo Yuan, Lusamine could not help but feel anger welling up in her heart.

If there is anyone she hates most in this incident besides Zaobo who betrayed her, it is undoubtedly the instigator Luo Yuan!

Not just because Luo Yuan is the cause of all this!

Especially because of the shame of being played by a cat and a mouse during the previous pursuit.

But anger is anger, and what comes with anger is a deep sense of powerlessness.

Because Luo Yuan appears here safe and sound now, it proves that it was Luo Yuan who defeated Xu Wuide after she lost consciousness.

Opening the ultimate channel and summoning the ultimate beast to deal with Luo Yuan is her last resort. Now this method has no effect on Luo Yuan. Lusamine has no way to deal with Luo Yuan.

After Luo Yuan saw the expression on Lusamine's face, he knew that his combat plan had achieved the results he expected.

With Lusamine's character, if she hadn't despaired of his strength, she would never look like this.

"It seems you are recovering well?" Luo Yuan said.

After he conquered Xuwuide, he originally wanted to awaken Lusamine directly, but the effect of the neurotoxin exceeded Luo Yuan's imagination.

Even with the power of Tokiwa, Lusamine couldn't wake up immediately.

Luo Yuan had no choice but to move her to the bedroom and told Makoto to wait until Lusamine wakes up before notifying him.

"Recover?" Although Lusamine had made up her mind not to cooperate with Luo Yuan, she still asked involuntarily at this time.

She knew nothing about what happened to her, and she could only get the answer from Luo Yuan.

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

There should be two more chapters in the early morning, so I recommend reading them tomorrow morning.

Chapter 375 Three choices given to Lusamine

So no matter how reluctant Lusamine was, she had to ask.

"Of course it's a neurotoxin. You don't really think being parasitized by Xuwuide is a good thing, do you?" Luo Yuan looked at Lusamine.

As Luo Yuan looked at her, Lusamine remembered the state she was in when she was parasitized.

I didn't feel it at the time, but now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, it seems that I was too excited at that time, which was very inconsistent with my usual style.

"The physical and mental abilities of those parasitized by Xuwuid will be greatly liberated, but similarly, the parasitized person will abandon reason and only act according to his own desires and instincts." Luo Yuandao.

To put it simply, this neurotoxin is more like a stimulant to a certain extent, but it also has a mental-lowering effect.

Liberation of nature...Lusamine quickly recalled that she had not done anything bad in the first place.

She quickly recalled her behavior before she lost consciousness. At that time, she was fully focused on dealing with Luo Yuan, and nothing happened. However, she had no memory of what happened after being parasitized by Xu Wuyi De.

He's unconscious, so he shouldn't do anything strange...!

"Well, actually, you don't need to worry too much. Chairman, you definitely didn't do anything to grab me or pester me not to leave." Luo Yuan said, throwing the ultimate ball in his hand.

"..." Although Luo Yuan said no, since Luo Yuan said so, she definitely did these things after she was unconscious.

When I thought of the scene where I was holding on to Luo Yuan's clothes to prevent Luo Yuan from leaving.

A feeling of shame swept through her body, and a trace of crimson appeared on Lusamine's white neck.

But soon her attention was attracted by the Ultimate Ball.

Looking at the ultimate ball in Luo Yuan's hand, Lusamine's heart tightened.

Luo Yuan has conquered Xu Wuyide?

Still using her ultimate ball!

Seeing Lusamine's gaze, Luo Yuan smiled.

It was his intention to show the Ultimate Ball to Lusamine. He did this to hint to Lusamine that the Void who previously controlled her has been subdued by him, and now he can control it through neurotoxins if he wants. Lusamine.

Sure enough, after taking another deep breath, Lusamine finally changed her previous uncooperative attitude.

"what do you want to do?"

Attacking the Aether Foundation, going in such a big circle, and finding an excuse for a home visit, Lusamine believed that Luo Yuan's purpose was definitely more than just annexing the Aether Foundation.

"We finally got to the point." Luo Yuan smiled slightly: "It's not as complicated as you think. In fact, our purpose is to let the Aether Foundation join the Rockets."

"It's just that our Rockets' actions were a little high-profile before, and it was difficult to continue to stimulate the league in a short period of time, so this time we plan to be more low-key."

"Low-key?" Lusamine looked at Luo Yuan. She felt that Luo Yuan seemed to have some misunderstanding about low-key.

Shouldn't the real low-key be to sneak in secretly, and then secretly control the top leaders of their Ether Foundation, and then further control the Ether Foundation?

Now the Rockets are driving an airship to their Ether Paradise headquarters, directly breaking through their Ether Foundation's defenses, and controlling Ether Paradise in their hands. Luo Yuan actually calls this a low profile?

Seeing Lusamine's expression, Luo also felt that their action seemed, maybe, and probably had nothing to do with being low-key.

There was no way, since the Hoenn incident, his behavior had changed towards a wilder side, and he hadn't been able to change it back for a while.

He coughed: "In short... there is no need to worry too much about the process, as long as the result is good. In short, I hope you can join the Rockets with the Aether Foundation to avoid the Alola Alliance. Supervise, and then help cover up the fact that Team Rocket has taken control of the Ethereum Foundation."

With the current state of the Alola Alliance, as long as Lusamine doesn't take the initiative to expose it, it is absolutely impossible to discover the basic fact that the Aether Foundation has been controlled by Team Rocket.

"So, you want to annex the Aether Foundation that I have built for so many years, and you want me to cooperate with you?" Lusamine had never seen such a shameless person.

"I just made a suggestion that is good for everyone." Luo Yuan spread his hands.

"Then what if I don't agree?" Lusamine looked at Luo Yuan's eyes, trying to see something in Luo Yuan's eyes.

Hearing Lusamine's words, Luo Yuan raised his lips slightly: "Of course I have considered this situation. Although you are Lillie's mother, in order to maintain my image as an excellent teacher, I will not really kill you directly. But you can choose one of the two options, 'neurotoxin' and 'mental control'."

While talking, Luo Yuan was playing with the ultimate ball in his hand.

Although a mother controlled by mind control/neurotoxin may not meet Lillie's expectations, if Lusamine does not cooperate, Luo Yuan can only do this.

This is impossible.

"..." Lusamine didn't want to choose either of these two options.

Whether it was neurotoxins or mind control, the Aether Foundation would not change the ending of being annexed by Team Rocket, and she also lost herself.

From this point of view, actively embracing Team Rocket seems to be her best choice.

Lusamine felt a dull pain in her chest when she thought that the Aether Foundation, which had been developed under her for so many years, was about to be annexed by Team Rocket.

But in the end, as a woman who is the chairman of the Aether Foundation, Lusamine finally made the most correct choice in Luo Yuan's eyes.

"I join Team Rocket, but I have one request."

"What request? Just ask." Luo Yuan said, as long as Lusamine chooses to give in, everything will be easy to talk about.

Even if he is asked to sacrifice, it is not impossible to consider.

"Let that guy Zaobo die!" Lusamine gritted her teeth.

After having to give in to Luo Yuan, all the anger in her heart had been transferred to Zaobo, the mole.

Naturally, he hated Zaobo even more deeply.

"Zaob?" This was in line with Lusamine's character.

At the same time, it has to be said that Zaobo is a qualified mole. He not only helped the Rockets provide a lot of intelligence during the Ether Foundation, but also led the way for the Rockets.

After the incident was over, he also helped Luo Yuan attract a wave of hatred from Lusamine, which can be called the best assist.

However, if Luo Yuan were to deal with Zaobo like this, it would be a bit too much. This kind of thing is inconsistent with their Rockets' concept of clear rewards and punishments, and he would not do it.

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

the second

Chapter 376 I am currently using this person.

Dealing with Zaobo would certainly allow Lusamine to cooperate, but he was currently using Zaobo. It would not be in the interests of the Rockets to get rid of him now, so he would not do such a thing.

But looking at Lusamine's expression, it would be more difficult for her to endure Zaobo's continued stay in the Aether Foundation than to control her with neurotoxins.

So after thinking for a while, Luo Yuan came up with a solution: "Let's do this, Zaobao, I will let him leave the Ether Foundation, and set up an ultimate beast research institute in Alola. In short, he will not appear again. In front of you."

Not to mention what Zaobo is like as a person, but at least he is unique in the research of ultimate beasts.

The ultimate beast is one of the goals of Team Rocket's march into the Alola region. Setting up a research institute specifically for Zaobo to take charge of the project can be regarded as fulfilling the promise of his promotion.

At the same time, in addition to appeasing Lusamine, Luo Yuan's previous 'home visit' had also yielded results by allowing Zaobo to separate from the Aether Foundation.

There can also be an explanation for Lillie's escape from the Ether Paradise with Little Nebula.

Luo Yuanda could say that after the home visit, he discovered that Lusamine had no knowledge of the matter, and that it was all Zaobo who was causing the obstruction, and he threw all the blame on Zaobo.

Therefore, this plan can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

......

This result did not meet Lusamine's expectations, but Zaobo would not appear in front of her again, so it was not satisfactory.

Based on the idea of ​​​​out of sight, out of mind, Lusamine reluctantly accepted Luo Yuan's proposal.

"Then the next step is to discuss the future integration of the Aether Foundation into the Rockets." Luo Yuandao.

Accepting that she and the Aether Foundation had become part of Team Rocket, the blush on Lusamine's neck had faded, and she leaned back on the chair to listen to Luo Yuan's arrangements.

"First of all, the original basic structure of the Aether Foundation remains unchanged, and the chairman is still Lusamine," Luo Yuandao said.

This was originally planned. The Rockets need the skin of the Aether Foundation to develop in Alola. Lusamine, as the chairman of the Aether Foundation and an iconic figure, will naturally not change.

If not, Luo Yuan wouldn't have to put in so much effort to conquer Lusamine.

"Some of the Rockets I brought this time will join the Ether Foundation as the security force of the Ether Foundation."

Incorporating people from Team Rocket into the Ethereum Foundation is also a necessary part of controlling the Ethereum Foundation, and of course it is not just for this purpose.

During this invasion, Luo Yuan saw with his own eyes the defensive strength of the Ether Foundation. To be honest, it was ridiculously weak.

Even Hoenn's water fleet and fire rock fleet are much stronger than the Aether Foundation, so this can be regarded as helping to improve the Aether Foundation's defense strength.

Lusamine had no objection to this.

Even if Luo Yuan did this, he was adding sand to the Aether Foundation.

She positioned herself very accurately. As a loser, she was not qualified to make conditions.

"Then there is the Aether Foundation industry... This is also the most important part. Our Rockets need to use the Aether Foundation as a springboard to enter the local tourism industry in Alola. This also requires your cooperation, Lusamine."

The Rockets are short of money now. Hoenn, Carlos, and the most expensive New Island Base need money everywhere.

According to Makoto's description, Sakaki now wants to break a dollar in half and spend it. With the financial support of the Ethereum Foundation, coupled with the entry into the Alola tourism market, it is a major benefit for the Rockets' capital chain, which is on the verge of rupture.

"No problem." She originally thought Luo Yuan would make some excessive demands on her.

For example, helping to capture wild Pokémon in large quantities, something that is inconsistent with the Aether Foundation's usual style of doing things, would be troublesome.
