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

Chapter 27 Sakaki, you've really given me face, haven't you?

"Oh, Asheng, are you going on a long trip?"

When Su Sheng and Yi Shu were about to leave Azure City together, they happened to run into Sakaki, who was returning.

As he asked the question, Sakaki also glanced at Kazuki.

Who is this kid?

"You are... the strongest gym leader in the Kanto region!?"

Yishu recognized the other person at a glance.

After all, Giovanni is a celebrity.

"Haha, the title of 'strongest' is just flattery from others; I can't accept it."

Sakaki smiled kindly, "You're Asheng's friend? You should get along well with him."

Although he was a genius from a young age, Kazuki still couldn't help but feel nervous when facing someone as important as Sakaki.

"I guess so... but we just met."

Does this guy know Giovanni? What's their relationship?

As he answered, Ichiki muttered to himself.

At the same time, he also began to doubt his earlier suspicions.

Could someone with close ties to the league's manager be a criminal within the Rockets?

That can't be right.

It's the same reason why no one doubts that Wayne Bruce is Batman.

Because people can't imagine a billionaire wandering around the streets at night in a tight-fitting outfit.

Judging from the attitudes of Sakagi and Su Sheng, their relationship is clearly not ordinary.

With this kind of background, he'd be considered a minor official's son even within the league.

Why don't you join the Rockets if you're so bored?

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you coming or not?"

Seeing that Yishu was still in a daze, Su Sheng asked somewhat impatiently.

"Ahhh~ Let's go, let's go, let's go now."

Oh well, I already have seven badges, and I only have the one from Kaji Town left. I have plenty of time.

There wasn't much fun before the competition started.

Let's see if this guy can provide me with some amusement.

Yishu thought to himself.

When Su Sheng and Yi Shu's figures disappeared at the end of the street.

A young man, not much older than Awa, emerged from a street corner and reported to Sakaki back-to-back:

"Boss, you've been staying in the capital for too long. If this continues, it will arouse suspicion from the Alliance."

Giovanni is, after all, a gym leader in the Kanto region, although he can usually have his disciples (or subordinates) take over his duties.

But too long is also not good.

"Sorry, Apollo, but the main issue is whether we can get that kid; it's a matter of the Rockets' future."

Sakaki remarked with emotion.

The person he was talking to with his back to was none other than Apollo, a trusted lieutenant of the Rockets!

"...Indeed, but Boss, time is running out."

To be honest, Apollo had some doubts when Sakaki mentioned Su Sheng before.

What kind of brat is he that his respected boss would waste so much time on?

However, when Su Sheng, under the name "Joker," stirred up huge waves in the city-state region and even attracted considerable attention throughout the entire Elf Continent.

Even Apollo had to admit it.

That kid definitely deserves it!

Not to mention, he also invented the incredibly powerful magnetic controller!

If I had that thing, even if Apollo came, he would say... I'd take on ten of them!

Cough cough... That's an exaggeration.

However, that thing does have the ability to instantly change the course of a battle.

"Okay, I'll take care of it as soon as possible. Team Rocket and the gym are in your hands now."

Sakaki said calmly.

"yes!"

Apollo replied firmly and forcefully.

Before leaving, Apollo remembered something and whispered a report:

"Also, Boss, that guy Bishas is being hunted down by the League lately. He says he wants to join our Team Rocket for protection. What do you think...?"

"Bishas?"

Sakaki pondered for a moment, then calmly said:

"Although he's not very bright, his skills are barely enough, so let's make him the captain."

"That guy Bishas is pretty arrogant. If we only make him a captain, he probably won't be satisfied."

Apollo thought for a moment and said.

"Then let him be the new guinea pig."

Sakaki sneered.

What? With your level of ability, you should be grateful to have been taken in, and you dare to make demands?

You think you're so great?!

……

……

The Enigmatic Forest is a large forest located between Wakaba Town and Yoshihana City in the Johto region.

Many Ghost-type Pokémon live here and often play pranks on passing trainers.

Therefore, many trainers are unwilling to enter this forest, even if it means taking a longer route.

Su Sheng and Yi Shu chatted as they walked into the Bewildering Forest.

When Yishu learned from Su Sheng that his egg had evolved because it touched a mossy rock, he stared in astonishment.

"Besides water, fire, thunder, sun, and moon, there are actually other evolution stones? That's quite an eye-opener."

"It's not just rocks; many Pokémon require special items. Rocks are considered common; some Pokémon need scales, cream, rags, and the like to evolve... It just goes to show that Pokémon are truly a magical species."

Su Sheng released Umbreon to follow at his feet.

Being attacked by wild Pokémon in the wild is something that almost every trainer will encounter.

Not to mention that a large number of Ghost-type Pokémon live here.

Ghost-type, and notoriously bad-tempered.

There are also quite a few that like to initiate attacks against humans.

"Really?"

As Yishu sighed repeatedly, his previous suspicion that Su Sheng was the Joker became even more shaky.

After spending these few days together, he discovered that this guy was a complete academic genius.

This is completely unrelated to the Joker's flamboyant personality, which involves teasing young girls.

With his knowledge, he will surely become the next Professor Oak in time.

"Oh! Found it!"

Suddenly, Yishu was delighted and raised his hand to point forward.

In the center of the lawn ahead lay a huge rock, about the size of a single bed, covered in moss, just as the tree had described.

Mossy rock.

A special item that allows a specific Pokémon to evolve.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Leaf Stone belongs to the same type of evolution stone.

"Go."

Su Sheng flicked his index finger, and Yue Yibu nodded slightly upon seeing this.

It leaps up and tenses its right forepaw.

The bulging veins of the muscles slammed hard against the surface of the mossy rock.

The flying rocks scattered in all directions.

The coconut tree next to it quickly used its telekinetic power to form a barrier and catch the pebbles flying towards its master.

"Could you please give me a heads-up before you start?"

"Ichishu complained."

"He's someone who could become one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, surely they can't do anything to you with this little bit of skill?"

Su Sheng chuckled.

After spending a few days together, Su Sheng had confirmed that the short, chubby guy was none other than Itsuki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Quartz League.

That's why I didn't recognize him at first glance.

It's because this guy really doesn't have much of a presence among the Four Heavenly Kings.

They didn't even appear in the anime.

"Four Heavenly Kings? I'm not really interested in being one."

Yishu scratched his head.

Although he didn't know why Su Sheng thought he would become one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the future, at least at this stage, he didn't really want to be one.

Once you have a position, you'll be under the league's control.

It's too restrictive.

"Woof woof—"

As Su Sheng was collecting "rubble" from the mossy rocks, a low bark of a dog suddenly sounded behind them.

The two turned their heads at the same time.

They discovered a black dog-like spirit lying on the ground, drooling, glaring at them with hostility.
