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

Chapter 65 Kikuko, you betrayed the Trainer class, you son of a bitch!

The next day, the Asagi Dojo began reconstruction work.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan media has begun to frantically report on news about the Joker trio.

"Full-Gold TV": "It is obvious that the previous acts of righteous thievery were just a show put on by Team Rocket to disguise their evil deeds. This time, their open attack on Gym Leader Altes is enough to prove that Joker is no different from those evil Team Rocket members in Kanto. As Eldest Brother Lance said, once a Team Rocket member, always a Team Rocket member. I hope everyone will not be deceived by the hypocritical faces of criminals."

Golden TV: "The League has decided to intervene and shut down accounts of netizens claiming to be Joker fans online, which will have a negative impact on the online atmosphere. In addition, given the uncontrollable power that Joker displayed last night, the League has officially decided to raise Joker's wanted level from A to S."

The Unova Daily: "Clearly, Team Rocket's actions are a serious provocation to the League. However, as everyone knows, the Johto region is the main area of ​​activity for the Shadow Organization. We hope the Indigo League can eliminate these two organizations as soon as possible. Finally, we welcome everyone to visit Unova. Our people are honest and kind, and there will never be any criminal organizations like Team Rocket or the Shadow Organization here..."

The backyard of Manjin Dojo.

Hu Tao and Xiao Qian stayed together.

The two's pets, Tutu and Milkcan, are playing around.

This contrasts sharply with Hu Tao's worried expression.

"Xiaoqian, do you think Brother Joker is that kind of person?"

"Uh... well..."

"There must be some misunderstanding here!"

Kurumi, whose introverted personality is reminiscent of Hinata in the early stages of Naruto, suddenly shouted excitedly, startling Akane.

Xiaoxi scratched the back of her head awkwardly, knowing that her friend was a senior member of the Joker Fan Club.

As someone who experienced the Golden Train incident firsthand, I can honestly say that I have a good impression of the Joker.

After all, it was he who saved those more than a thousand passengers.

But as the granddaughter of the dojo master, she can't possibly speak up for a wanted criminal, can she?

"I've made up my mind!"

Just then, Hu Tao spoke again.

"Clam?"

"I want to become a journalist, a news anchor. I want to investigate the truth myself and tell it to everyone."

Seeing her best friend's confident expression, Xiaoqian blinked twice.

Seriously, lady?

……

Around noon.

The headquarters of the Quartz Union is located on the Quartz Plateau.

It's rare for the Four Heavenly Kings and the champion to get together like this.

This even includes Aldus, whose whereabouts are elusive.

"The lawmakers are very happy."

Kona took a sip of red tea, crossed her long legs in black stockings, and said:

"Joker's previous acts of loyalty had put the League in a very passive position, and now that he has caused this incident, he has completely ruined the reputation he had built up."

He captured wanted criminals in public on multiple occasions, and also saved thousands of people on the Manjin Train incident.

This has led more and more people to label the Joker as a "righteous thief".

This has also led to questions about the league.

Because the Joker always catches criminals one step ahead of the League and the police.

More and more people are saying, "League, are you even up to the task?"

However, this incident gave those high-ranking members of the Joker, who were unhappy with the situation, an opportunity.

You little brat~ I'll make sure you get roasted to death!

"Hmph! It's just dogs fighting, but they've got a lot of tricks up their sleeves."

Adu sneered.

A thief is a thief, why call him a "righteous thief"?

That's hilarious!

"But why would the Joker target your brother? Does he possess something the Joker desires?"

Kikuko, the current Quartz League champion, glanced at Aldus.

Even for colleagues, it's not easy for them to see this superstar on a regular basis.

"Who knows? How can normal people guess what's going on in a criminal's mind?"

Aldus maintained a blank, expressionless face.

"Yeah?"

Kikuko glanced at him a couple more times, but didn't say anything more.

Because someone she was more interested in had arrived.

"Champion Kikuko, Elite Four members, Professor Oak has arrived."

……

"I tried it with the Houndoom that Professor Birch from Hoenn gave me. Houndoom doesn't have any special ability to share vision."

In the conference room, Professor Oak was giving a lecture, explaining things to everyone in the room.

It's just that the audience members were quite high-profile—

The league president, Damaranchi, the Indigo Champion and Elite Four, along with several gym leaders and senior council members of the league.

Beside Professor Oak was a middle-aged man with a small mustache, a large belly, and a kind-looking face.

It was Professor Birch who came from Hoenn.

At their feet, three Black Rhino were sleeping.

Two of these three Houndooms are from Professor Oak's backyard, and the other was borrowed by Professor Birch from Murasaki, one of the current Elite Four of the Hoenn League.

By the way, he is the grandfather of Aysa, the future Gym Leader of LavaCity.

I learned from Officer Asagi that during last night's battle, Joker's three Houndooms were able to share vision and even their five senses.

Professor Oak was shocked and immediately called his friends in academia, asking them to get him a Houndoom as well.

Let's see if we can do the same thing.

However, it backfired.

However, as expected, things turned out to be disappointing.

It's simply impossible to do that!

Clearly, Joker made special modifications to those three Houndooms!

Kikuko turned her head away dismissively as Professor Oak explained the science on the podium.

She is still indignant that Professor Oak gave up the path of a trainer and became a researcher instead.

You've betrayed the Trainer class! Old Man Oak!

"Yukinari, could it be because of the level difference, or perhaps the bond between the Pokémon isn't strong enough?"

Damaranchi proposed a possibility.

"Well... at least in terms of level, it's unlikely."

Professor Oak thought for a moment before answering.

The two I brought were fine, but the one Professor Birch brought was a Pokémon of the Elite Four.

There shouldn't be any issues with insufficient level.

The crowd at the scene began to discuss it animatedly.

Only Sakaki secretly revealed a look of delight.

Ah Sheng, you've come up with another new trick!

As expected of you!

"Perhaps it's... an elf modification."

Aldus suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Adu and Kona's expressions changed drastically.

This is the kind of thing they hate the most!

"Calm down! Adolf, Kona."

Damaranchi said in a low voice, "It's too early to say."

"Hehe~ I don't think the Rockets can master this kind of technology."

Sakaki smiled and glanced at Aldus a couple more times.

To be honest, he was also very curious.

Why would Su Sheng target this guy's brother?

The League's report says that the Joker has psychological problems and is retaliating against Shooter.

To this, Sakaki replied, "Bullshit."

That kid wouldn't do something so pointless; there's definitely something fishy about this group!
