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

Chapter 57 Unless it's Aizen's acting skills

In the living room of the seaside cottage.

"Aldus is one of the four Elite Four in the Indigo League, but unlike Champion Kikuko and the other three Elite Four members, he doesn't spend much time on Indigo Plateau. Instead, he stays by his father, Mr. Tsai, giving the impression that he's not an Elite Four member at all, but rather his father's bodyguard."

Yishu revealed a blackboard covered with information about the Aldus family, including the bald old man, "Master Cai," who attended the banquet held in Pear Moon.

This scene is strikingly similar to the scene in "Grand Theft Auto V" where the main characters plan their heist.

At this point, Yishu clicked his tongue, "His father is the richest man in the city and has donated a lot of money to the alliance, which the alliance turns a blind eye to."

Yishu also wholeheartedly supported the plan to target Aldus.

He originally joined the group because he wouldn't be bored staying by Su Sheng's side.

To take action against the four kings of the league?

Doesn't that sound exciting?!

"Should we find that Mr. Cai first?"

Pear Blossom glanced sideways and asked.

But those are probably hard to find.

Cai Shenye, the richest man in the city, has assets all over the city.

Moreover, unlike Silver Company, which has branches all over the world but has its headquarters in Kyoto City, Kanto.

Mr. Cai's businesses do not have a so-called "headquarters," or rather, no one knows which one is the headquarters.

Therefore, it is not easy to find him.

"That's not the case."

Su Sheng posted a photo in the center of the blackboard.

It was none other than the youngest son of the gentleman who had fought at the villa before, Aldus's younger brother, Eltes!

Pear Blossom's expression changed slightly.

She remembered that Ertes was the Gym Leader of Asahi City!

Unlike his two fathers and brothers, whose whereabouts are elusive.

As the dojo owner, he naturally spends most of his time on his own territory.

After all, when Brock and Misty are traveling with Ash for extended periods in the future, they will hand over the gym leader position to their younger brother and sister.

"Eltes is the strongest trainer in the Johto region... no, I should say the strongest, right? It's said that his strength is comparable to the Elite Four."

Yishu excitedly bit his lip. "Such a big thing, I think it's necessary to inform the reporters before we take action, so they can publicize our victory."

"Don't make things worse!"

Pear Blossom said irritably.

She didn't want to be the center of attention.

Ultimately, the purpose of targeting Eltes was to trace the clues and find Aldus.

If we alert the enemy, or attract the attention of the alliance.

Then the entire operation would fall through.

"We are not acting in the name of fighting."

Su Shengdao:

"The key is to find Aldus's trail and investigate what shady dealings his family is involved in."

"Ah? Too bad, I was hoping to fight a Heavenly King-level expert."

Yishu looked full of regret.

"You'll have plenty of opportunities to fight later; the target is Aldus!"

Rika was getting impatient with this idiot, but she had no choice but to rely on the power of this fool, Kazuki, to fight against a king-level opponent.

……

……

Asagi City, like Azure City, is a coastal city located in the port area of ​​the Nakajima region.

It is also one of the largest metropolitan areas in the Tokyo metropolitan region.

From this seaport, you can take a long-distance ship to Kanto.

During Ash's time, the Gym Leader here was a Steel-type named Amy.

However, even if she is the future Ami, she will still be considered young among the owners.

He should probably continue traveling around as an ordinary trainer.

Across the street from the Asagi Dojo, Su Sheng and his two companions sat in an outdoor seating area at a restaurant, looking across the street at the main entrance of the dojo.

They've already found out that Altes is currently at the gym, so they can make their move.

"Whoosh~"

Yishu, slurping his Italian noodles, said somewhat indistinctly:

"Stolen things should be done at night, right? Let's fill our stomachs first. By the way, Rinka, aren't you going to eat this Creamy Fairy strawberry cake? If not, then..."

As he spoke, Yishu's thieving hand reached for the cake in front of Lihua.

Snapped!

Pear Blossom picked up a fork and slammed it onto the back of a pig's hoof on a tree. "Ghost!"

"There are two methods. One is to sneak in while he's asleep at night and see if there's anything shady inside. The other... is to wait until he accepts a gym challenge and is stalled by the challenger before making a move."

Su Sheng analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Yishu and Lihua exchanged glances and unanimously chose the first option.

After all, people have more time to use when they are asleep.

"Hello, I'm Ami, who made an appointment to challenge Mr. Altes today."

Just then, a girl who looked about two years younger than Yishu, probably only six or seven years old, walked up to the entrance of the dojo and called out to the security guard in a childish voice.

Ami! ?

Upon hearing the name, Su Sheng subconsciously looked up towards the entrance of the dojo.

She was a little girl with fair skin and short, gray hair that reached her shoulders.

Is it that Ami?

"Perfect timing, I don't have much to do during the day anyway, let's go check out the excitement."

Su Sheng and his group were not the only onlookers drawn in by the little girl's words.

Because Kanto and the city share the same alliance.

There are more than 20 gyms in the Kanto and Johto regions combined (the anime explicitly states that there are more than 10 gyms in the Kanto region).

Once you collect 8 of them, you can participate in the Quartz Conference.

Therefore, most adventure trainers will choose relatively weak gyms.

For example, the Nibi Dojo managed by Xiaogang's father, and the Hualan Dojo currently managed by Xiaoxia's mother.

Eltes is currently recognized as the strongest Gym Leader in the Johto region, with strength comparable to the Elite Four.

There aren't many hotheads who dare to challenge him.

Just like Giovanni from the Tokiwa Dojo.

That's why Sakaki was able to stay in Johto with Su Sheng for so long.

Because no challenger dares to come anyway.

And after hearing that someone was challenging Eltes.

The stands at Asagi Dojo were immediately packed; everyone wanted to see who was fearless enough to risk their lives.

That's why Su Sheng, Li Hua, and Yi Shu sat inside without attracting any attention.

"Young man, it seems you haven't reached the age limit for trainers stipulated by the league, have you?"

Alteis, standing on one side of the field, frowned slightly behind his sunglasses.

According to the League's rules, trainers who can choose their starter Pokémon, go on adventures, and participate in gym battles and the League Conference must be at least 10 years old.

The girl in front of me, or rather, the little girl, clearly didn't meet the standard.

"Yes, yes, I am 6 years old. I just got my first Pokémon from my grandfather yesterday."

The loli version of Ami has a bit of Hinata Hyuga's charm. Under the gaze of countless people in the dojo, her little face flushed slightly, and she said nervously:

"I grew up in Asagi City. I've heard people say since I was little that Mr. Ertes is the strongest trainer in the Johto region. So, I want Mr. Ertes to be my first opponent."

As soon as Loli Ami said this, the audience immediately started discussing it.

"Goodness, this kid's got some nerve! He just got his starter Pokémon yesterday, and he dares to challenge Mr. Eltes today?"

"This is probably what they mean by 'a newborn Tauros calf is not afraid of a Roaring Tiger'."

"Sigh, I thought I was going to see a great match, but it turned out to be a baby game. How boring."

"Needless to say, it'll be sold out in seconds. Let's go!"

Many audience members immediately stood up and prepared to leave.

After all, judging from Ami's age, they didn't think she could be that strong.

Now that I hear from her that she just got her starter Pokémon yesterday, I'm even less interested.

What's so interesting about a game where the prize is sold out in seconds?

Seeing a large number of audience members get up and leave, Loli Ami's face turned even paler. She was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and her eyes even welled up with tears.

Just as Ami was at a loss, Eltes shouted sharply:

"Why laugh at this child? Isn't her courage something we should learn from?"

Upon hearing this, the audience members who were about to leave were immediately filled with shame, unsure whether to stay or leave.

Those audience members who remained seated displayed expressions of admiration to varying degrees.

"Well said, Mr. Altes."

"Truly the pride of Asagi City!"

Pear Blossom chuckled softly, "Tch! What a pretentious act!"

As the younger brother of the man who killed her Houndoom's parents, Rika harbors resentment towards Eltes and doesn't have much affection for him either.

Su Sheng remained silent.

To be honest, he didn't think Ertes was faking it.

Having lived three lifetimes, Su Sheng was quite confident in his ability to judge people.

Of course, if you say that Eltes has acting skills on the same level as Aizen, then Su Sheng said that he really couldn't tell.
