Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

Because his plan was just one step away from completion.

Whether Golden City was in chaos or not was no longer important; what mattered was that he managed to gather what he needed amidst this final chaos.

"Then we..."

"Put away the last batch of things," Tamechi waved his hand.

He then stepped down from the platform, clearing a narrow passageway, about the thickness of an arm, leading to an unknown location.

Upon receiving the order, Bage instructed the black-robed figures below to throw crystals of varying sizes into the rocky passageway.

If Xia Yan and An Ci were here, they would recognize that these crystals of different sizes are all "life crystals"!

As these "crystals of life" rolled down the passage, a ball of crimson flame suddenly rose from within the rock wall, piercing through the thick rock wall constructed of an unknown material, and the flames shone out.

Seeing the flames, the men in black robes became even more excited.

As Tamechi descended the high platform, he was met by a person dressed in a black robe and wearing a pale white mask.

Tameci raised an eyebrow, and said with a hint of mockery:

“‘Breeder’ Mr., no, no, perhaps now it should be called… Senior Breeder Mr. Kirboy… Master Suzuki’s first disciple.”

Kilboy removed his mask, his expression calm, and glanced at the rock wall that was constantly flaming.

"I don't care about titles or anything like that, I only care about the result."

Upon hearing this, Tamechi smiled.

"That's true. If it weren't for Master Suzuki's theory on 'life crystals,' this plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Upon hearing "Master Suzuki's theory," Kirboy slowly clenched his fist, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he concealed it well.

He said coldly, "The Rockets have already made their move. You can decide what to do."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Tamechi's face slowly darkened.

After a moment, he chuckled softly.

"It's alright, I prepared a nice gift for them."

Chapter 85 Old Bill

Xia Yan treated the wounds on the Beedrill, sprayed it with medicine, and added some energy cubes with good recovery effects.

Previously, it was because of insufficient rest time. Now, with medication and a period of rest, I will be able to recover to my best condition quickly.

Casey fell into a coma due to overexertion of her superpowers.

But it woke up after regaining some of its superpowers.

After replenishing some advanced energy cubes of the superpower type, Casey entered a deep meditative state to accelerate the recovery of her superpowers.

Pokerby is probably in his best form.

After eating the custom-made Pokémon Energy Cube, he acted as if nothing had happened and went back to circling around Anci's Farfetch'd.

This time, however, the green onion duck was clearly more alert, clinging tightly to its green onion.

Even while eating, he didn't let go.

Its sharp eyes never left Togepi, just like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

Meanwhile, Anci was tending to the injuries of Slowbro and Quagsire in the living room.

Before entering the spirit world, the two spirits were seriously injured while protecting him.

This injury was more serious than the one he sustained in the pterosaur cave.

It's not that the Pokémon that attacked him was stronger than the Aerodactyl.

He was completely powerless against Aerodactyl, so he didn't even think about fighting back, but it was different when facing the Pokémon that attacked him.

After waiting for a short while...

Slowbro and Quagsire have finally woken up, but it's clear that they won't be able to return to their best condition in a short time.

It's best to go to the Pokémon Center.

And that's exactly what Anci made.

“Xia Yan, I still need to go to the Pokémon Center. Their injuries are more serious than I imagined,” Anci said with a stern face.

"Remember to close the door."

Xia Yan did not turn around.

boom.

Soon, the sound of the door closing disappeared, and Togepi followed Xia Yan with its head drooping. It had been only a tiny bit away from that green onion just now.

Pokobi puffed out his cheeks.

The image of Farfetch'd waving that giant green onion and sweeping everything away flashed through my mind.

Xia Yan sat on the steps of the courtyard.

Watching the fine snow slowly falling in the courtyard, the entire courtyard was covered in silver.

...

...

Outside of Golden City.

On a not-so-short mountain in the distance.

A pretty woman with delicate features, dressed in a black fitted dress and a low-top hat, smiled as she looked at the golden city and its surrounding area, which were completely covered in snow.

Standing respectfully beside her was a young man with a slightly pale face who looked about 70% like Jian Er. He kept his eyes down and appeared very respectful.

slowly.

The woman's shadow stretched long, and from within the thick black mist emerged an elderly man with gray hair and a doting smile on his lips. Beside him was a Gastly that was constantly gathering its mist.

He walked slowly to the woman's side, smiling as he watched the changes in Golden City.

The woman glanced at him, and the smile on her face slowly faded.

"Old Bill, your old friend is over there, aren't you going to say hello?"

The old man remained calm and said indifferently, "I've already seen him. He still has the same fiery temper as always..."

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly.

"That's exactly what we're looking forward to."

"Heh heh—" Old Bill chuckled softly, "Yes."

"You're quite magnanimous to just abandon the intelligence network you've built in Golden City over so many years."

"When you get old, these are the only hobbies you have left. Giving them up isn't a big deal; you can just move to another place. But you, having achieved your goal, are lingering here. That's not a good choice for you. According to my kids, the Rockets have also made their move."

"Leaving the alliance and then using the Rockets, your situation isn't any better than mine, is it? Tom Ruch."

The woman gazing at Goldenrod City is Tom Rukki from the Zapdos incident.

Tom Ruchi wasn't angry at Old Bill's words, and chuckled, "Then your 'contribution' can't be underestimated."

Old Bill slowly shook his head. "Kindness? I just sold some information. I can't afford to offend either the league or the Rockets."

He said this, but his expression remained calm.

"Oh? I'd really like to know what the Rockets are up to? Those guys have been running rampant on their turf, and now they're just making a token effort." Tom Ruchi looked at Old Bill.

Although this man was old, Tom Ruchi dared not underestimate him.

This is someone who competed with Kikuko when she was young, before she became one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although they failed, the fact that they've survived to this day speaks volumes.

Old Bill's smile widened even more.

"Okay, same old rules, an equal exchange, on the condition that it's your Zapdos."

Tom Ruchi's expression turned serious.

She wasn't angry at old Bill for making the offer, but she was a little surprised.

Information about something requires a Zapdos to exchange.

Seeing the change in her expression, old Bill's hand trembled slightly as he took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, tapped it gently on the pack, and silently lit it.

A faint flame accompanied the drifting white smoke.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "I don't know what Team Rocket is up to, but given Giovanni's personality, the fact that Team Rocket has been able to stay quiet for the past few years means they must have something big planned. If they really know the exact details, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to trade even one Zapdos for it."

Tom Ruchi paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Her ability to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings indicates that she possesses considerable strength and vision.

Of all the people she has met so far, there are only two people she cannot see through at all. Even with the Four Heavenly Kings, such as Liu Bo and Ju Zi, she can see some things, but those two people are like looking at a fog.

One of them is Giovanni, the leader of the Rockets!

"All right."

The cigarette ended in a quiet atmosphere. Old Bill tightened his clothes, tossed the cigarette butt aside, and slowly backed away.

"This old man is going to pass away first. Unlike you young people, I'm getting old—"

The Gastly beside him emitted black smoke, which began to coil around him little by little.

"Oh, and one last piece of advice: don't always try to use your Mr. Mime to disguise yourself. It's too impolite in front of truly powerful people."

Leaving behind his last words, old Bill disappeared over the hilltop.

After he left, Tom Ruggie emerged from behind a tree not far away, his face grim. The "she" standing on the hilltop slowly transformed back into the playful Mr. Mime.

You can see that there is a very subtle superpower connection between her and Mr. Mime.

"A truly formidable character...?"

Tom Ruchi repeated old Bill's words.
