Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

Xia Chen understood. These street thugs, like leeches, wouldn't dare do bad things, but they'd do all sorts of disgusting things. As long as they didn't do anything more outrageous, the school couldn't do anything about them.

Most importantly, there is no age limit at Orange Academy; students can stay at the school forever.

After learning about the organization, Xia Chen only had one question left.

What are they after?

Xia Chen racked his brains but still couldn't understand these guys' thinking.

Team Rocket and Team Flare, on the other hand, have Pokémon to collect and receive salaries, so there are real benefits to be gained.

As for the cheering squad, they were also supported by the smile of Miss Mary, their spiritual totem.

What is the purpose of this Tianxing team?

Nemo didn't understand either. "Almost no one in the school knows about this, but the principal has decided to take action to rectify the situation. In any case, we can't let this kind of bad trend grow on campus!"

Nemo's tone was impassioned, conveying an air of certainty that any evil would eventually be brought to justice. She blinked at Xia Chen, as if waiting for a response.

Xia Chen clapped enthusiastically, encouraging them, "Keep it up! I believe you can do it!"

"Eh"

Nemo suddenly felt discouraged.

She said weakly, "You, a righteous partner, don't want to join our operation?"

Xia Chen was speechless. "Where did you see me as some kind of champion of justice?"

Nemo recounted Xia Chen's glorious deeds, "Look, last year in February and March you wiped out the elven poaching gang, and in April and May you quelled the Yveltal awakening incident. Can you still say you're not a partner of justice?"

Xia Chen looked completely bewildered. "Wait, how do you know so much about my affairs?"

Nemo waved her hand dismissively. "That's not important at all. What's important is whether you're willing to join our [Destroy the Stars] plan."

Xia Chen hesitated.

He didn't mean to meddle, but he had just received so many favors from the principal that morning and had nowhere to repay them. Helping to calm down a group of troublesome students seemed like a good option.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Chen nodded helplessly and said, "Alright."

"Great!"

Nemo excitedly put her arm around Xia Chen's shoulder and laughed loudly, "Having Xia Chen is truly a gift from heaven!"

Did this guy try to touch me inappropriately on our second meeting?

Xia Chen was uncomfortable with this overly familiar attitude. He subtly moved away and asked, "I can help, but first tell me your plan, and when will we start?"

Nemo suddenly stopped talking. She scratched her head and said guiltily, "Well, not for now."

Xia Chen: "."

Is this guy really that unreliable? Xia Chen was already starting to regret agreeing to Nimo's request.

…………

Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Rotom's voice suddenly rang out on his phone.

"Loto's calling! Loto's calling!"

Nemo exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, how come you have me? Oh, isn't it not even on the market yet?"

Xia Chen shrugged. "Your principal gave it to me, but that's not the point right now. I just got the phone this morning, and the information was leaked so quickly? This product's security doesn't seem very good."

Ni said, inexplicably annoyed, "What? It's definitely not a problem with the product. Maybe it's because..."

"shush"

Rotom kept calling, so Xia Chen stopped Nemo from continuing and answered the call on speakerphone.

"You're Xia Chen, right?"

A synthesized voice came from the phone, making it impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

"You've dialed the wrong number. My name is Jugglus Juggler."

Xia Chen didn't want to pay any attention to this mysterious guy who didn't want to show his face, and immediately started making things up.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before the voice continued, "I understand. Hello, Jugglus Juggler, my name is Cassiopeia."

Fairy Queen?

It sounds just like me; it's not a real name.

Xia Chen stroked his chin, finding this guy quite interesting, and didn't hang up the phone for the time being.

"You are a very powerful trainer, so I would like to ask you for a favor."

What the heck? Is there any causal connection between these two sentences?

The Padiya champion is also more capable, why don't you go find her?

Xia Chen replied using his own logic: "I heard you're very rich, could you give me some money?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again, and after a long while, the person on the other end replied, "I understand. I will pay you the reward after the incident is over. Just name your price."

Xia Chen said irritably, "One hundred million."

He originally intended to use an astronomical sum to dissuade the other party, but unexpectedly, the Cassiopeia readily agreed.

"no problem."

Xia Chen: "."

Did I not say enough before, since you're so agreeable?

Thinking of this, Xia Chen's tone softened considerably, "What kind of help do you need? Tell me first."

Although he is now quite wealthy, who would complain about not having enough money?

The task has a reward of 100 million. Let's wait and see.

Do you know the Tianxing team?

This keyword stunned Xia Chen and Nemo, who was listening in; wasn't this exactly what they had just been talking about?

Could it be a call from the leader of the Tianxing team, inviting me to join?

Why did I suddenly become interested in a 100 million yuan membership fee?

"I would like to ask you for help in disbanding them."

However, the truth was completely opposite to Xia Chen's guess, as the person on the other end of the phone said.

"This is good too," Xia Chen thought, his eyes lighting up.

Since I've already promised Nemo to reorganize the Celestial Star team, I might as well take on another mission while I'm at it—two birds with one stone!

…………

Although he was quite excited, Xia Chen still asked in a calm tone, "I'd like to hear your plan first."

The Cassiopeia Queen was clearly very familiar with the Celestial Star Team. She explained, "The core of the Celestial Star Team consists of five gangs, whose bases are distributed throughout various parts of Padia. Once the five gangs disband, the Celestial Star Team will be defunct in name only."

"The plan is simple: you challenge the leaders of the five gangs. The rule of the Tianxing team is that whoever succeeds in the challenge becomes the new leader. What you need to do is become the new leader and then disband the gangs."

Justified and convincing.

Xia Chen glanced silently at Nemo, who was nodding frequently beside him.

Now that's what a plan should be!

Unlike you, who just picked a name for the project, and it's so corny.

Nemo put one hand on her hip, scratched her head, and stuck out her tongue. Her bold and cute actions didn't seem out of place at all.

On the other end of the phone, Cassiopeia continued, "I've named this plan [Operation Stardust]! For every branch base I destroy, I'll transfer 20 million to your account, so don't worry about me delaying payment."

"I understand. So, when is the first operation scheduled?"

"It's up to you. Just let me know before you take action, and I'll provide remote assistance. However, they are very strong, and with the modified Tianxing Team vehicles, some of their leaders are close to gym level. You need to be careful."

Dojo level?

This is quite a challenge for me right now.

Xia Chen pondered for a moment.

For a student, this is indeed a very strong level of ability.

Only schools like Orange Academy, which have no age limit, could have students like this in the whole world.

"I'll send you the information on all the leaders in a bit. Let's end our first contact here."

"Understood, goodbye boss!"

"."

After a moment of silence, the dial tone sounded.

It seems that Cassiopeia has already hung up the phone.

After putting down Rotom's phone, Xia Chen fell into thought.

I've only just arrived in the Padia region and just obtained the Rotom phone when someone comes knocking on my door. Isn't all of this a bit too coincidental?

This made him think of the strange girl he had met that morning, the one carrying an Eevee backpack.

Could it be her?

Who do you think this Cassiopeia will be?

Nemo was also thinking about this question.

Xia Chen shook his head. "I don't know, but I think she's trustworthy."

Nemo asked疑惑地问道, "Why? Is it because it aligns with our goals? Or is it because it offered you a high price?"

"neither."

Xia Chen smiled slightly, "Because there are no bad people who like Eevee."

…………

"A message has come from Loto! A message has come from Loto!"

The message notification sound from Rotom's phone interrupted their speculation. At this time, it should be the message from the leaders of the Celestial Star team that Cassiopeia just mentioned, right?
