Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

To encounter something like this as soon as you step out, could his trial mission be to destroy Team Rocket?

The difficulty level is a ton higher if Articuno isn't around...

"Then hurry up and head towards the mine. Find the police in Pewter City and tell them what's going on. My Pokémon can protect you from attacks by wild Pokémon." After saying that, Su Hao turned his gaze to Dragapult.

"Awooo~"

Doronchi held its head high, as if it had everything wrapped around its shoulders.

"Duoduo~"

Dorgon Messia's younger brother also followed suit, raising his head high.

"Then I'll leave it to you two." Su Hao's lips curled up; Xiao Duolong was quite reliable at this time.

"And what about you...?"

Nika looked up in disbelief, her tears and snot momentarily stopping.

"I?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hao stood up.

He casually retrieved Riolu into the Luxury Ball and then pulled out another Luxury Ball from his waist and threw it out.

A flash of red light, and the giant black bird, blending into the night, spread its wings, behaving very sensibly without making a sound.

Su Hao easily jumped onto the back of the Emerald Warrior Eagle and said to the stunned Nika with a smile, "Before you arrive, I'll go and stop them."

As soon as he finished speaking, dark wings, barely visible in the night, flapped, and a gale swept across the ground.

Dust billowed up, forcing Nika to close his eyes.

When he opened his sore eyes again, Su Hao and the emerald warrior eagle had already disappeared, leaving only the bright blue crest feathers burning like will-o'-the-wisps in the high sky.

"Awooo—!"

Doronchi couldn't stand Nika's slow pace any longer and could only barely suppress the urge to burn his butt with Dragon Pulse, urging him on.

Hurry up, or all those villains will be taken care of by Dad, and it won't even get a sip of soup.

.....................

High in the air, Su Hao, who had just finished showing off and then ran away, analyzed the current situation.

Firstly, from Nika's perspective, there is no doubt that Yamado and Kosaburo were the masterminds behind this operation.

Their strength isn't much stronger than Jessie, Kojiro, and Meowth, but we need to consider the possibility that they have Pokémon delivered by Team Rocket headquarters.

Then, the Rocket Team minions are the enemies you need to be least wary of; they're not that strong.

"As expected... what worries me most is whether there are high-level forces from Team Rocket hiding behind this."

Su Hao stroked his chin, looking somewhat troubled.

The four executives, Bishas, ​​Shin'tori, and several doctors are all formidable individuals, and they might suddenly come up with some advanced technology.

If Articuno were still by his side, Su Hao, confident in his abilities, would not hesitate to choose Godlike Descent and take on a whole Team Rocket team by himself.

However, given the current extremely low margin for error, we have to consider the possibility of a rollover.

The Rockets have been able to run rampant for so long, and their four executives must have played a significant role in that. Their strength is probably around the Elite Four level, or even the peak Gym Leader level.

In a one-on-one duel at the dojo level, Su Hao, along with Diancie, could barely handle one enemy, even after revealing his trump cards.

"Therefore, since we cannot fight head-on, I need to infiltrate."

Having made up his mind, Su Hao, seeing that he was very close to the location indicated by Nika, immediately called for the Emerald Warrior Eagle to land in a secluded area with many trees.

"Thanks a lot."

Su Hao gently stroked the feathers of the Emerald Warrior Eagle, whispered words of encouragement, and then put it back into its deluxe ball.

Then, Su Hao looked up at the sky.

Unlike the darkness below the mountain road, the clouds and mist have broken through here near the summit of Mount Tsukimi, revealing a spectacular sight of countless stars and the bright moonlight shining together.

Nika said that tonight was supposed to be the night for the Pipi to dance the Moon Viewing Dance, which is why they gathered together and were wiped out by the Rockets.

Just as Su Hao was about to leave the bushes and go outside.

A faint rustling sound, though sharp enough to be heard, suddenly appeared. Su Hao paused in his steps, narrowing his eyes to hide himself once more.

Su Hao looked in the direction of the sound. Under the bright moonlight, the two black uniforms and the large red "R" on their chests were particularly eye-catching.

"A member of Team Rocket!?"

Su Hao was somewhat surprised. Could it be that he noticed the rustling of the trees when the Emerald Warrior Eagle landed and came to investigate?

Su Hao silently reduced his presence even further, while his left hand was ready to launch a wave missile at any moment, and his right hand was touching the luxury ball at his waist.

"Will it be alright if we abandon our guard duties and leave the cave without permission?"

The shorter of the two Rockets members said fearfully.

"What are you afraid of? Our operation didn't alert them at all. Those idiots from the Alliance are still on guard in the mine."

His companions, who were taller than the shorter one, were very disdainful.

Chapter 357 Infiltration

The tall man whispered, "Captain Amado and Captain Little Three said that the people from headquarters will not arrive for some time. They will wait for Dr. Rumba and Lance to arrive before they can start moving the giant moonstone."

"Boss... it's Captain Kosaburo and Dr. Nanbo."

The shorter man weakly corrected the taller man for calling him the wrong name.

"Damn it, these are all meaningless titles." The tall guy spat on the ground, particularly annoyed with his timid underling. "Hurry up, take advantage of the time you still have to use your 'big toilet' which you've been staking out for the past few days. Anyway, you've already escaped!"

The tall man clutched his stomach, wondering if he would one day develop constipation from holding it in.

"Too......"

The short man stopped talking, as if he had finally come to terms with it, and gently pressed the "R" mark on his chest.

Accompanied by a sound like an airbag deflating, the small Rockets uniform transformed into a round object the size of a badge, to Su Hao's astonishment.

The short man still had a set of mountaineering clothes that looked like those worn by an ordinary law-abiding citizen.

The tall guy chuckled and said he did the same thing.

The two of them instantly transformed from Rocket Team soldiers into ordinary backpackers.

"Is this one of the reasons why the Rockets are so ubiquitous...?"

Su Hao was extremely surprised; there was actually such cutting-edge technology that allowed one to instantly change into a Rockets uniform.

But the most important thing now is to knock these two guys unconscious while no one is around.

Su Hao had no desire to watch others use the toilet.

Having made up his mind, Su Hao casually made up a nonsensical sentence to attract the attention of the two of them.

"Ah, there are U, F, and O above my head!"

A calm yet unfamiliar voice rang out.

The tall guy felt like he'd been bitten hard on the butt by a Victoire; Yoneda's initial aggression vanished instantly, and he immediately became alert: "Team Rocket is here! Who dares to be so arrogant?!"

The shorter man, however, looked curious, seemingly genuinely believing it: "What, a UFO!? Where? Where??"

The tall man frantically scanned the area in front of him, but couldn't pinpoint the source of the sound, even though it was clearly coming from in front of him.

The short man kept looking up, frantically searching for the location of the UFO.

Suddenly, the trees rustled. The tall guy gritted his teeth, gave the short guy a flick on the forehead to remind him, and then touched the only red and white Poké Ball on his waist.

"To be honest, I personally don't want Pokémon battles to happen."

A soft voice came from behind.

A chill ran through the two Team Rocket soldiers. Before they could react, their movements suddenly stopped, and then their bodies went limp, collapsing to the ground.

"After all, making too much noise like this would alert the enemy, which would be bad."

Sneaking up behind the two men, Su Hao delivered a karate chop to each of them, his expression remaining unchanged as he calmly spoke.

After he finished speaking, Su Hao looked at the two palms with some surprise.

Wow, in this Pokémon world, the hand chop actually works!

It's easy to paralyze someone if you're not careful and don't control your strength...

Despite his surprise, Su Hao hadn't forgotten his business.

He crouched down and searched the two people for a while, finding only three items.

First, there was that badge that seemed to allow you to instantly change into a Team Rocket uniform; second, there were two magnetic cards representing Team Rocket members; and third, there were two locked Poké Balls, which should contain Pokémon.

After thinking for a moment, Su Hao left behind two magnetic cards and badges, stuffed the Poké Balls into the pockets of the two people, and then took out a bundle of rope from the system space to tie the two people to a big tree.

We can have the Deep Grey City Police Department take care of these two Team Rocket soldiers.

As for Su Hao...

After fiddling with the badge for a while, Su Hao figured out how to use it.

As long as he held the badge and pressed the button with the "R" mark on it, an inflation sound immediately rang out, and a Team Rocket soldier uniform made of some unknown material was fitted onto Su Hao's body.

Su Hao lowered the brim of his hat slightly to make sure it covered his most striking golden eyes, then hunched over and lowered his shoulders.

If you ignore his handsome jawline, Su Hao now looks exactly like a Rockets soldier.

...............................

At the highest point of Mount Tsukimi, after entering the intricate cave system at the foot of the mountain, continue walking eastward towards the summit, passing through several cave passages to reach Mount Tsukimi Plaza.

This place offers a wide view, with the ground exposed to the sky.

Both sunlight and moonlight can completely cover this place.

The shape of this place is like a depression, which is said to have been formed by a meteorite impact on Mount Tsukimi.
