Chapter 36 deep~dark~fantasy

"How's it going, Asheng? I look great!"

The next day was approaching evening.

After more than a day of tinkering, Yishu finally finished making his "phantom thief outfit".

A flamboyant costume resembling a clown's outfit, with an eye patch covering the upper half of the face.

He has a mysterious confidence reminiscent of Gohan's Saiyan Superman form.

Su Sheng was speechless for a moment.

The black mask on the tree reminded him of an acquaintance from his past life.

I was afraid he would blurt out "deepdarkfantasy" next.

However, Yishu seemed oblivious to the hint of disdain in Su Sheng's eyes. After swaggering around for a moment, he remembered something else.

"Oh right, shouldn't I think of a code name? After all, you already have the nickname 'Joker,' so what about me? How about using a name from a playing card? Like King or something..."

"Just call me Van, I think it suits you well."

Su Sheng smiled maliciously.

"No, I don't know why, but I feel like you have bad intentions."

Without even thinking, Yishu refused outright.

Su Sheng began organizing his equipment.

Yishu hesitated in front of the mirror for a long time, still unable to decide on a code name for himself.

"Don't waste any more time, get ready to leave. If you haven't decided yet, just use any pseudonym. We can call you 'A-Shu' or 'Xiao-Yi' or something like that."

"Huh? That nickname isn't impressive at all."

Yishu expressed great dissatisfaction.

"It's already a good thing they didn't call you the Golden Pavilion of Power or anything like that."

Su Sheng pursed his lips.

Finally, on the way, Yishu hesitated for a long time, pinching his chin, and even clenched his right fist and tapped it against his left palm.

"I've got it! How about Magic? My outfit was inspired by a magician, isn't it great?"

Su Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's just call him Jack Ma."

……

……

It was approaching evening.

Many members of the upper class in the city, dressed in fine clothes, entered Li Yue's mansion one by one.

When the security guard saw that Su Sheng and Yi Shu were not accompanied by an adult, he was initially a little suspicious.

But upon seeing the invitation, they immediately let the two in.

Wow~ There are quite a few celebrities here.

Yishu turned his head left and right, and in no time he spotted several faces he often saw on TV.

"The thought of doing bad things right under the noses of these big shots... Wow, so cool!"

"We haven't even decided what we're going to do yet. And can you please not use such a disgusting tone?"

Su Sheng said that people who aren't pink-haired, mind-reading lolis shouldn't casually say "Wow, so cool!"

However, Su Sheng himself also spotted many familiar faces.

Among the gym leaders, there's Asahi from Cyan City and Hayate from Violet City.

What attracted Su Sheng's attention the most was... standing next to Li Yue, a short old man with a white beard, wearing armor similar in style to Uchiha Madara, and a helmet with a Raikage-style headdress on his head.

Behind him, on his left and right, were two attendants, one of whom Su Sheng recognized.

It was Adu's cousin, Xiaozhuang!

And each of them was accompanied by a Hakkarosaurus!

"The patriarch of the Dragon Clan in Smoky City, the grandfather of Lance, one of the Elite Four of the Indigo League, is known as the 'Dragon Elder.' The two behind him are the current Smoky City Gym Leader, Axiong, and his daughter, Xiaozhuang."

Noticing the direction of Su Sheng's gaze, Yi Shu whispered:

"He is an absolutely top-notch figure in the city, even the Alliance President, Mr. Dama Lanqi, has to give him some face."

Just as Yishu finished speaking, another old man came up.

But unlike Elder Long, whose white hair and beard covered half of his face.

Although the old man was also short, he appeared more bulky. He leaned on a cane, had a shiny forehead, wore black-rimmed glasses, and always had a kind, smiling expression on his face.

Following behind was Aldus, one of the Quartz Alliance's Four Heavenly Kings, whom Su Sheng and Yi Shu had met at the construction site a few days earlier.

On the other side of Aldus, there was another person with extremely similar facial features, also wearing sunglasses.

However, his hair color was different from Aldus's blue hair; he was a middle-aged man with red hair parted in the middle.

"Haha~ Sorry I'm late, Brother Long, it's been a long time!"

The bald old man smiled and reached out his hand to Elder Long.

"It's an honor to have you here."

Pear Moon's face was beaming with joy.

Right now, he was surrounded by the two most powerful old men in the city.

Yishu whispered, "That person is Master Cai Shen, whose real name is 'Dead Gold,' the father of the Four Heavenly Kings Aldus, the richest man in the Johto region, and also a famous philanthropist."

"And that red-haired uncle, he's supposedly his second son, Aldus's younger brother. I remember his name is... Eltes, yes, that's the name. He's the Gym Leader of Asagi City, known as the strongest Gym Leader in the Johto region. I have to say, that bald uncle is quite good at having sons, one is a League Elite Four member and the other is an Elite Four member Gym Leader."

The brothers Aldus and Eltes were each accompanied by an elf.

They are Alakazam and Marowak.

Su Sheng's eyes shifted slightly. In his memory, the Gym Leader of Asagi Gym should be the Steel-type Ami, right?

She's a very cute little girl.

However, the timeline is still a long way from Ash's adventure.

Even the head of the Golden Dojo is Akane's grandpa.

It's perfectly normal that the current head of Asagi Dojo isn't Ami.

After all, Ami is probably not even as big as a tree yet.

"Speaking of which, quite a few people here release their Pokémon and keep them with them."

Yishu noticed something else: many of the guests had released their Pokémon.

Needless to say, the security guards standing at the entrance were surrounded by elves who looked like they were not to be trifled with.

And the Aldus brothers, as well as the experts from the Dragon Royal Family.

Similarly, some smaller Pokémon were released to act as bodyguards, following him around.

But the next second, Yishu realized the reason—

Beware of the Joker's magnetic remote control!

"You've changed the world, haven't you?"

Yi Shu's tone carried a hint of admiration.

It's clear that these people are doing this to prevent a surprise attack from Team Rocket.

Although Ichiki himself already knew that Joker was not from Team Rocket.

But the league doesn't know that.

……

Su Sheng glanced at the "talented gentleman" a couple of times, then quietly withdrew from the center of the banquet hall.

"Get to work."

Su Sheng and Yi Shu officially took action.

But neither of them noticed at that moment.

The gray-haired girl who was about the same age as Li Yue, who was following beside her and looked absent-minded.

"Father, I'd like to go back to my room to rest..."

The gray-haired girl tugged at Li Yue's trouser leg.

"Alright, alright, go ahead."

Li Yue waved her hand, not paying any attention.

He was busy trying to curry favor with the two most powerful and influential figures in the City Alliance.

……

Pear Blossom, daughter of real estate tycoon Pear Moon.

I breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the banquet hall.

"I still can't handle this kind of atmosphere..."

Pear Blossom sighed deeply.

His face was full of helplessness and disgust.

If she were an ordinary rich girl, Rika would most likely become a "sacrifice" for the future expansion of her family, forced to marry another chaebol heir or a high-ranking trainer.

Fortunately, she showed exceptional talent as a trainer from a young age, which allowed her considerable freedom.

Even so, Rika still didn't like the atmosphere in the house.

If given the chance, she would like to leave this place.

At this moment, Pear Blossom arrived at the third floor of the villa.

As she passed the storage room, Pear Blossom paused.

She remembered the ferocious, howling spirits her father had brought into their house a few days earlier.

My father said that after the banquet tonight, they will be given to Master Cai as a gift, right?

But it seems that Master Cai will find them a good place, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about...

After a brief moment of hesitation, Pear Blossom finally opened the door to the storage room.
