Chapter 20: Sakaki's Dead End

【Hoenn area】

【Liuli City】

Because of the previous battle between Bai Ye and the super ancient legend, the population of Liuli City temporarily moved to a nearby city.

But after a day, the migrating people had returned to their original places.

Of course, this is because the so-called population migration in Liuli City is not that complicated.

As a city with a unique geographical location, Liuli City has a permanent population of only 42 people.

It usually looks lively only because there are many tourists and trainers coming and going.

After all, in addition to the unique landforms and scenery that can never be seen anywhere else, there is also a water-attributed gym for trainers to challenge.

Tourists and trainers can leave at any time as long as they take their carry-on luggage, without too much worry.

It would be more accurate to say that it was a blessing for them to be able to witness this legendary battle that only happens once in a century at such a close distance.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of a house in Liuli City.

"Hello, is anyone in there?"

In the room, the man who was watching the tablet screen moved his fingertips slightly.

The spreading sea water and magma on the screen stopped.

If someone was here, they would notice that what he was watching was the recorded video of the previous battle between [God Control] and the two super ancient legends.

He stood up, stroked the head of the cat boss standing at his feet with his big hand with a ring, walked to the door and opened it.

A middle-aged man with a calm yet defiant face appeared in front of the young man standing at the door.

He seemed to be startled by the sudden opening of the door, then realized what he was doing and asked with a smile.

"Because of the previous population migration incident, we now need to count the number of people who have returned safely, so we need to do a census and..."

After some inquiries.

"Click——"

The man closed the door, and in the dim room, the Poké Ball in his hand emitted a red light and took the Cat Boss in.

"There are only 42 permanent residents in Liuli City, and tourists coming and going are not recorded in the system. Why is a census necessary?"

Sakaki frowned slightly, realizing something was wrong.

What do they seem to be looking for?

Although the expression of the young man at the door just now was normal, and there were no problems with the daily questions in between.

Before his identity was exposed, there would be no problem finding anything wrong with his identity as the Evergreen Gym Leader in the Kanto region.

After all, the whole story of his coming to the Hoenn region had been reported and recorded in the Alliance.

Even if the champion of the Hoenn region was in front of him, it would be impossible to find any mistakes in him.

But it was this quiet atmosphere that made him feel something was wrong.

Observe people's expressions, capture details, and think deeply to find answers.

This is the basic quality that a qualified villain leader should have.

Sakaki considers himself a very cautious person.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have such a powerful force as the Rockets, yet still hide their power in the dark and continue to develop.

Because he knows that even though the Rockets look powerful now, it is only compared with its peers. If compared with the league, it is still far behind.

When you need to show your strength, use your strongest power without reservation; when you need to hide, remain vigilant enough to protect yourself.

This is how you deal with things as the boss of the Rockets.

And now, even if it was just a suspicion, he planned to run away.

The original purpose of coming to Liuli City was to take advantage of the battle between the [God Controller] and the ancient legend to find an opportunity to gain benefits.

Whether it's a body part from a super ancient legend or something related to it, as long as it's related to a legendary Pokémon, it's a tool that can unleash great power.

But it turned out that Sakaki still underestimated the scale of the legendary war.

He couldn't even get close to the battlefield, let alone get anything.

After browsing the live broadcast records repeatedly just now, he determined through a simple analysis that although the [God Controller] is a human, he possesses power that surpasses legendary Pokémon. Human weaknesses have no effect on him at all. He can be said to be a truly invincible person.

The power of these two legendary Pokémon, Hoenn, is also incredibly strong.

Far exceeds the Pokémon detected by Team Rocket in the Kanto region.

People like the Three Sacred Birds and the Three Sacred Birds are not worthy of being compared with that kind of natural disaster maker.

The Rockets still have a long way to go if they want to capture that kind of power.

At least one must master power beyond the ordinary legendary level to be able to approach that level of existence.

There is no point in staying here any longer. It is better to go back to Kanto to make plans and improve the strength of Team Rocket.

Thinking of this.

Sakaki quickly packed up the luggage that he had prepared long ago, and within a few minutes he packed up the things in the house and placed them in the portable space storage device. Then, Sakaki did not rashly contact the alliance to alert the enemy, but left Liuli City alone, concealed his tracks and came to the beach.

Due to its unique geographical conditions, there is no way to enter or exit Liuli City by land. You can only go by sea or air.

This has led to many trainers using riding Pokémon or the ships in Liuli City for transportation.

Sakaki had previously come to Liuli City on an official ship.

He was being vigilant at the moment, so it was naturally impossible for him to board an official ship.

In fact, it is common for many Trainers to arrive by ship and leave by riding their own Pokémon.

Therefore, Sakaki doesn't have to worry about being suspected if he leaves Liuli City in other ways.

Even if ordinary people have doubts, they have no right to question him.

After all, gym leaders still have a certain status in the league.

In particular, the Evergreen Gym he manages is one of the seven strongest gyms certified by the Kanto Alliance, and even ranks first in private rankings.

After arriving at a secluded location, Sakaki operated the special communicator on his wrist disguised as a watch.

Beside him, a large hornet with sharp eyes was standing guard, alert to the approach of strangers.

"Okay, there's no one around, let's get the unmanned submarine to the surface."

After completing the survey, Sakaki gave instructions to his subordinates who were on standby on the other end of the communicator.

The red dot on the communicator jumped twice.

A small submarine slowly emerged from the calm sea in front of Sakaki. The submarine was blue-black in color and had no markings.

After all, even if this is a high-tech submarine built in-house by Team Rocket, Sakaki would not be so high-profile as to spray the Rocket Team's R logo on it.

He is not an ordinary team member or cadre, he is acting as a member of Team Rocket.

At present, his surface identity is still hidden. Only when he is sure that it is necessary to abandon this identity as a pawn to achieve an important goal, Sakaki will choose to do something that may expose his identity.

After entering the submarine.

The submarine sank all the way to the sea.

The Beedrill, who was on standby beside Sakaki, vibrated its wings slightly twice, and suddenly realized something.

"They've already entered the sea, yet they're still chasing us. Could this be their purpose?"

Beedrill, as Sakaki's first and strongest Pokémon, has a telepathic connection with Sakaki.

When it sensed something, Sakaki naturally also noticed the strangeness of being spied on.

When he was in Liuli City, he thought that the person who was secretly testing him was looking for him because he was not sure about his identity.

But the current development made Sakaki immediately realize that his identity had been exposed. The other party's goal was to make him leave Liuli City and snipe him on another battlefield.

Although he didn't know how his identity was suddenly exposed when he had clearly made no mistakes, Sakaki was a person who would never sit still and wait for death.

He immediately operated the submarine to surface quickly. If a fight really had to take place, it must not be carried out underwater.

Fighting underwater is very disadvantageous to him because he is not good at using water-type Pokémon, and even the Pokémon he carries with him do not have any that are good at underwater protection. Once the fight starts, he must be prepared to abandon the submarine first.

Sakaki, who has Pokémon that can fly, would rather fight on the surface of the sea than start a battle in the sea.

Contrary to his expectations, the submarine surfaced smoothly and the expected attack did not come.

Even when he walked out of the submarine's exit and stepped onto the upper deck, he was not hit.

But the person who is watching from the dark is always there.

You can see this just by looking at the two needles of Beedrill ready to fire.

It's not Sakaki's character to wait for the other party to make a move.

Although the battle was fought under unfavorable circumstances, one of the fighting styles of "Sakaki of the Earth" is to bring terrifying threats to the opponent with continuous powerful blows, so as to defeat the opponent's grand and domineering behavior.

and so……

"Individual Two, [Spiritual Breakthrough]!"

With an instinct as if he had eyes on his back, he threw a Poké Ball at Deoxys that was rushing towards him.

The black Poké Ball exploded, and out of it emerged a Deoxys with dark eyes, in its [Normal Form].

Deoxys, who was planning a sneak attack, was startled by this sudden change. Some kind of mental power overflowed from his cold eyes, as if he wanted to connect with the consciousness of Deoxys that emerged from the Poké Ball and communicate with it.

But this communication was not established successfully.

The next moment, after gathering a large amount of mental power around the body, the [Mental Charge] released mercilessly hit Deoxys.

It was in [Speed ​​Form] and was smashed away by this blow. Just as it was about to fall into the sea, a hand suddenly reached out from the air and caught it. At the same time, the Hider who was maintaining the [Invisible Posture] that refracted light also revealed himself.

"While we're reunited, we must also pay attention to the details, Deoxys."

"Your relative is still under the control of the Dark Sphere and cannot communicate with it now."

The Hidden One warned Deoxys, who looked very lost after suffering a heavy blow, with some distress, and handed him a stone fragment in his hand.

After Deoxys took it, his body returned to its peak state in an instant as the light changed.

That stone... could it be the [Gulan Meteorite]?

Sakaki, who knew the truth about Deoxys' birth and had done a lot of research on it, speculated secretly.

But it's so small, it should just be fragments.

He focused his attention on the hidden person who had revealed his figure. Judging from his attire, it was the young man who had knocked on the door before and aroused Sakaki's vigilance.

"It's you."

Although Sakaki was a little surprised to see the newcomer, he didn't care. There were many people who had grudges against him, and it was impossible for him to know every one of them.

Besides, it would be impossible to defeat such an unknown character even with Deoxys.

What he needs to be wary of is time.

If I don't kill this guy quickly and leave, it will attract the attention of the Hoenn Alliance.

This dull thought disappeared after the young man wiped his face.

A piece of face skin fell off and turned into a Ditto, which was held in the boy's hands.

The face under disguise looked at Sakaki with a smile, which made his expression change drastically for the first time.

"[God Controller]!"

There was absolutely no way Sakaki would fail to recognize this face.

After all, before this, in order to study that battle that seemed like a mythical battle, he used the resources of the Rockets to conduct an in-depth analysis of this young man who was too young and too powerful.

What he didn't expect was that the two of them would meet in real life so soon.

Moreover, it is in a hostile capacity.

Trouble!

No, it should be said that we are in a desperate situation!

The expression on his face returned to normal in an instant, but Sakaki's heart was not so calm.
