In Elf: I can strengthen infinitely

Compared to buying ready-made ones directly in the system store.

It turns out that "gold panning" in the black market can save more money.

After a whole day of touring the underground black market in Changpan City, Su Lin can be said to have gained a lot.

Moreover, with the Rockets' 'secret protection', Su Lin doesn't have to worry about being slaughtered.

The Rockets' eyeliner can be said to be quite professional.

He followed and protected Su Lin all the way and helped him deal with many secret troubles.

And it didn't affect Su Lin at all.

To be honest, if Su Lin's perception was not far beyond that of ordinary people, he might not even be able to spot them...

In short, after wasting a whole day in the black market, Su Lin came to the Tokiwa Gym again the next day.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of Tokiwa Gym, the two gatekeepers immediately came to greet me.

It seems that Sakaki had given instructions in advance.

Su Lin did not enter the lobby of the Tokiwa Gym directly.

Instead, under their guidance, he entered the gym leader's room through the door at the back.

On the surface, it looks like an ordinary office.

Apart from a desk and some seemingly gorgeous decorations, there was nothing else.

Of course, this is the office of Team Rocket's boss, so there should be a lot of secret doors and passages...

Before Su Lin arrived here, Sakaki was already waiting here.

Entering the office, Su Lin saw Sakaki standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the scenery outside.

Hearing a knock on the office door, Sakaki turned around.

"Well..., you guys go down first.

"Yes!"

He waved his hand to dismiss his subordinates, and after they all left, Sakaki gave Su Lin a gentle smile.

"Haha, Sulin, sit down.

As he spoke, Su Lin and Sakaki sat down at the tea table nearby.

The two sat down and Sakaki began to fiddle with the tea set in front of him.

If the Rockets saw this scene, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop to ashes.

The big boss behind Team Rocket, the boss of their own team, is actually personally making tea for a young boy???

"Uncle Sakaki, why did you ask me to come here this time? Is there something wrong?"

Hearing Su Lin's question, Sakaki paused for a moment, then pretended to be angry and gave Su Lin a warning look.

“Huh, kid, you’ve been traveling for so long, but your personality hasn’t changed at all.

"Why? As an uncle, I can't even think about taking a look at you?"

"Do I have to have something to contact you? Speaking of contacting you, you've been traveling for so long and you don't even know how to call me more often, huh."

Hearing what Sakaki said, Su Lin laughed dryly.

"Ahahaha..., um, Uncle Sakaki, aren't you busy with work? I just don't want to disturb you."

"Besides, the journey was not peaceful at all. I just wanted to focus all my attention on collecting all the gym badges....

"Humph, that sounds nice, but you just simply forgot about your uncle, right?"

"Well, how could that be, Uncle Sakaki, you are my most important relative.'

After hearing Su Lin's last words, Sakaki's face was filled with a smile again.

"Well, you still have some conscience. Come, try my tea first."

As he spoke, Sakaki poured a cup of brewed tea and handed it to Sulin.

Speaking of tea, Su Lin remembered that he seemed to have some good varieties.

That was the gift that Grandma Juzi gave to Su Lin when they were in Ziyuan Town.

During the journey, Su Lin's mind was basically on the elves.

The "magic tea" that Grandma Kikuko had given him before was forgotten by Su Lin.

Just this time there was an opportunity, Su Lin simply took them all out from the system space.

Of course, from Sakaki's perspective, it was Su Lin who rummaged through the travel bag he carried with him for a long time and finally took out a big jar.

"Speaking of tea, Uncle Sakaki, I have some good tea leaves here. They were given to me by a friend some time ago. I don't know much about the tea ceremony, so I'll just give it to you."

"Oh?"

With curiosity on his face, Sakaki took the tea leaves handed to him by Sulin.

After a careful inspection, Sakaki showed a meaningful expression on his face.

"Heh, Su Lin, it seems that your friend's identity is not simple...

Don’t think that this is just a casual gift from Grandma Kikuko.

The gold content of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Alliance is definitely not simple.

What's more, Granny Kikuko is the most senior king in the Kanto Alliance. Even the current Four Heavenly Kings champion Watari has to call her "Senior Kikuko" when they meet.

···Request flowers·····

Could the thing she gave away be something ordinary?

With Sakaki's experience and knowledge, he could naturally see the uniqueness of these teas at a glance.

Hearing Sakaki's sigh, Su Lin just shrugged and did not respond.

Seeing this, Sakaki did not delve into it too much, but changed the subject.

"Well..., I didn't expect that you, Su Lin, have grown to this point without me noticing.

"When I had the gym challenge with you before, I was really surprised. It's hard to imagine that a year ago, you weren't even a trainer."

Hearing Sakaki's sigh, Su Lin smiled slightly.

...

Indeed, no matter how talented a trainer is, it is impossible for him to grow to this level in just one year.

After all, Su Lin has the system to rely on...

"To be honest, I didn't want you to become a trainer at first."

"I can't guarantee anything else, but I, your uncle, will make sure you never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."

After hearing what Sakaki said, Sulin was about to speak, but Sakaki continued.

"Okay, I know what you want to say, don't I know your character?"

"Now that we have come this far, I will naturally not stand in your way and will fully support you."

"Since you are going to do it, you must do it to the best of your ability! This time in the Quartz Conference, you must bring me a winner no matter what! Do you hear me?"

After the words fell, Su Lin nodded firmly.

"Ah. Don't worry, Uncle Sakaki. I'm sure I'll win the Quartz Tournament!"

“Haha, you don’t take other challengers seriously at all, but... you have to have this kind of momentum!”

Although the meaning between the lines of Sakaki's words is all about recognition of Su Lin's expression.

But Su Lin could feel that this was not what Sakaki wanted to say at first.

As for Sakaki not wanting Sulin to become a trainer, this is actually easy to understand.

After all, once they come into contact with the trainer, they may become hostile to the Pokémon Alliance in the future.

Because behind Sakaki stands Team Rocket...

Chapter 318: Oak Research Institute, Fight Xiao Mao Again! ? (Subscribe)

Su Lin stayed in the Tokiwa Gym for a few days.

During this period of time, Su Lin also chatted a lot with Sakaki.

The topics discussed by both sides almost all revolved around the past and Su Lin's travel time in the past year.

The various events during the trip are not that bad, since Su Lin is the narrator after all.

There are many details that are inconvenient to disclose, and Su Lin can actively choose to say or not.

As for those "things in the past", although Su Lin traveled through time, his memories were perfectly inherited.

This is also the reason why Su Lin can perfectly integrate into this identity.

When talking about the past, Su Lin mostly just acted as a listener, quietly listening to Sakaki's memories and occasionally agreeing with him.

But after all, he had never experienced it himself, so most of the time, Su Lin couldn't completely empathize with Sakaki...

Fortunately, Sakaki didn't seem to notice these details, and thanks to a sudden call from Professor Oak from "Zero Nine Zero", Su Lin also had an excuse to leave the Tokiwa Gym...

Anyway, this kind of homely activity with elders is definitely not what Su Lin is good at...

Before leaving Tokiwa Gym, Sakaki also asked about Sulin's relationship with Latios.

After all, he is an important experimental subject of Team Rocket. Sakaki knows Latios' situation very well and is well aware of his defects.

After learning that there was no problem in Su Lin and Latios getting along, he felt relieved.

In addition, Sakaki also proposed to give Sulin some new elves, as a way to provide Sulin with some combat support before the Quartz Conference.

With the resources controlled by Team Rocket, it is extremely easy to capture some powerful Pokémon with great potential.

Even a few legendary elves can be caught for experiments.

Therefore, Su Lin had no doubt about the value of the elves in Sakaki's words.

However, Su Lin finally refused.

By now, Su Lin's team has already been formed, and the long-term interaction has also allowed Su Lin to establish a deep bond with his partners.

Therefore, Su Lin did not want to train a few new elves just as the Quartz Conference was about to begin.

This is also true even if the Pokémon given by Sakaki is a fully formed Pokémon that already possesses a certain level of combat power.

After all, this is the first tournament in the Elf World, and Su Lin wants to use the companions he has trained to fight!

In short, this conversation with Sakaki also brought about some changes in Sakaki's mentality.

As Sakaki said before, rather than becoming a trainer, there is a possibility of being caught up in the war between the Pokemon League and Team Rocket in the future.

Sakaki would rather Su Lin be an ordinary person. If nothing else, at least he can live in peace.

Moreover, with Sakaki's financial resources, there would be no problem for Su Lin to enjoy a lifetime.

But now Su Lin has come this far, and has also shown unparalleled talent on the road of becoming a trainer!

In that case, what else is there to say? Give him your full support!

Even now, in Sakaki's heart, Sulin is likely to grow into the second trump card of Team Rocket who can be compared with Mewtwo!

The future champion of the Elf League is the nephew of the boss behind Team Rocket.

Just thinking about this kind of thing, Sakaki couldn't suppress the smile on his face!

As for Professor Oak, it seems that he wants to ask Su Lin for something, but there is no detailed explanation on the phone, so Su Lin can only return to Pallet Town in person...

After saying goodbye to Sakaki, Su Lin left the Tokiwa Gym alone.

On the way back, Su Lin did not waste any time and went all the way to Dr. Oak's research institute.

It is worth mentioning that he has the title of Friend of the Elves.

Even being attacked by wild Pokémon is a very rare thing for Su Lin now.

This ability is especially useful when you are on the go.
