An elf, a genius scientist who traveled from the world of One Piece.

Chapter 18 This is simply a slap in the face to me, the Dragon Envoy!

Listening to the news anchor's report, Su Sheng was at a loss for words.

Most of what you said is correct, but... I feel there are some issues with the details.

He fought against Awakening and escaped successfully.

Although I didn't defeat Awatari fair and square, I didn't run away either, did I?

"You really didn't disappoint me, Asheng. You've invented something amazing in such a short time."

On the sofa, Sakaki was playing with the magnetic controller invented by Su Sheng.

After learning the whole story from Beedrill using the power of Tokiwa.

Sakaki was both surprised and disappointed.

The surprise was naturally because I hadn't misjudged him.

The boy in front of me is indeed a true genius.

Such a machine was invented in such a short time.

Unfortunately, Su Sheng is not yet an official member of the Rockets.

Otherwise, after knocking Adu unconscious, he could contact him directly and kill that mad dog-like redhead immediately.

Well, although A-Du hasn't reached the peak level of becoming a champion yet.

But his attitude toward the Rockets was no different from what he had later.

When facing the Rockets, their attitude is to never give up until they've completely crushed them.

This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Su Sheng to kill Adu.

Unfortunately, he missed the opportunity because he hadn't yet revealed his true identity to Su Sheng.

Moreover, Sakaki deduced that such a good opportunity would probably not come again.

"Sorry, sir, you're joking around. I've been mistaken for a member of the Rockets."

Su Sheng pretended to be confused and shrugged.

Sakaki put the controller aside and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

He was thinking.

He was considering whether or not to reveal his true identity to Su Sheng.

Although Su Sheng is now on the opposite side of the alliance.

But that was just a covert identity.

On the surface, is he willing to join the Rockets?

"Let's wait a little longer."

After hesitating for a few minutes, Sakaki decided it would be best to observe for a while longer.

After all, considering that Su Sheng targets criminals like Andres and is unwilling to experiment on wild elves, it's understandable.

He still retains a kind heart.

Revealing the truth too early may have the opposite effect.

"But... this is really a good thing..."

Sakaki glanced again at the magnetic controller on the table.

By pressing this button, you can force the Poké Ball to lock and prevent Pokémon from returning to the ball.

Although A-Du has witnessed the machine's capabilities once, he will definitely take precautions in the future.

But without a doubt, this is a weapon of mass destruction upon first sight.

"We still need to find a way to get him to join Team Rocket as soon as possible..."

Sakaki knew very well that if he didn't reveal his true identity to Su Sheng, he would be in trouble.

One cannot allow one's subordinates to use the other party's inventions.

Once your subordinates use these tools.

Su Sheng would naturally begin to doubt himself.

With his intelligence, it's only a matter of time before he figures out his own identity.

It's important to understand the difference between proactively revealing your identity and passively exposing it.

Those are two different things.

……

On the other side, the Quartz Plateau.

This is the dividing line between the Kanto and Johto regions.

At this point in time, the Quartz Alliance can be considered the precursor to the Kanto Alliance and the Johto Alliance.

The two regions share four Heavenly Kings and one Champion.

Currently, in the conference room of the Quartz Alliance headquarters building.

Three superstars and one champion are gathered here.

And President Dama Lanqi and several members of parliament.

"What does this mean?"

Adu's expression was unpleasant as he slammed a wanted poster onto the table.

It was a wanted poster of the Joker drawn based on his own description.

In A-Du's eyes, the "A" rating on the wanted poster was extremely irritating.

What does that mean?

Anyone who can knock out my Dragon Envoy Adu only deserves an A-rank?

Isn't this a slap in the face to me, the Dragon Tamer?!

"This decision was made after official discussions. A guy who fled in disarray from the Dragon King doesn't deserve an S-rank rating."

"Wearing a purple dress, with a gaunt and even somewhat creepy face, the current Quartz League champion, Kikuko, said indifferently."

"What do you mean, 'escape'? That guy left openly and honestly!"

Mentioning this incident only made Adu angrier.

The masked boy drugged himself and then swaggered away.

He had already confirmed this with his cousin, Xiaozhuang.

However, the news reports told a completely different story.

"You can't report it like that!"

Dressed in an office lady's uniform, with hair similar in color to A-Du's but a deeper red, and appearing to be around fifteen years old, but with a stunning figure that rivaled that of mature women, another superstar, Kona, pushed up her frameless glasses and said coldly:

"Otherwise, what do you expect the media to write? That the mighty Dragon Messenger of the Quartz Alliance was knocked unconscious by a kid who looks to be only ten years old?"

"What's wrong with giving up something that's just a meaningless matter of saving face?"

Adu certainly has a strong sense of self-respect, but he despises this kind of handout even more.

Whether that kid used technology or dirty tricks.

A loss is a loss, there's nothing more to say!

"But...the people don't think that way."

Even Shiba, the third king who is often criticized by Kona for being "all muscle in his head," can see the problem.

As a supernova who is almost certain to replace Kikuko as the new champion of the Indigo League.

A-Du is not only the face of the Yu-Long family, but also represents the face of the entire Pokémon League.

He was tricked by a kid; it wouldn't be so bad if it were some rising star within the league.

And yet, he happens to be a member of the Rockets.

If this gets out, will the public still have any trust in the Pokémon League?

A-Du's face darkened, and he couldn't give a response for a moment.

"And Galar has also produced a genius, not much younger than you, the Celestial Emperor Lancelot."

At this point, a Quartz Union member also spoke up to offer advice:

"It is said that he has never been defeated since his debut and has become the new champion of the Galar League with overwhelming force."

"Under these circumstances, our Quartz League, as the headquarters of the entire Pokémon League, cannot be outdone by a branch."

Loz, the League President of the Galar region.

That's an ambitious man who would stop at nothing for the development of Galar.

Indeed, although the word "ambitious person" has a somewhat negative connotation, it is a perfect description of Loz.

Despite being the richest man in Galar, he did not indulge in pleasure.

Instead, they are focusing on developing Galar's elf competitive industry.

Not only have they built large dojos in various cities in Galar that are even more luxurious than those in the Kanto region, but they have also built dojos that can accommodate more spectators.

They also search far and wide for potential trainers.

It is said that he was the one who discovered the current Galar champion.

Not only that, they also poach people from all over the place.

Offering high salaries to lure elites from other regions to Galar would be worthwhile.

For example, Kawu, one of the current Gym Leaders of the Galar League, is a Hoennian who was later recruited by Roz.

There's nothing I can do; they're offering so much.

Loz made no secret of his ambition.

The goal is to make Galar surpass Kanto, and even replace it!

Under these circumstances, the alliance headquarters naturally would not allow any scandals involving Adu to be exposed.
