Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

For example, the bear-like creature, once subdued by Xia Yan, was able to quickly unleash its combat power.

But to put it bluntly...

In the midst of battle.

Does the combat effectiveness of wearing the bear costume have anything to do with whether Xia Yan commands it or not?

cough cough.

The main purpose of capturing these three water-type Pokémon is to explore this lake.

But it also made one thing clear to Xia Yan.

The next step is to capture Pokémon.

Choosing a water-type Pokémon is now a priority.

Otherwise, if such a situation were to occur again, we would have to "use what we have on hand," which would be both time-consuming and inefficient.

Xia Yan's finalized main Pokémon lineup consists of Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Aegislash, Infernape, and Latios.

There are exactly six elves.

Ibrahimovic is still in the consideration stage.

However, since raising one is the same as raising two, let's just include Eevee as well.

Those are the seven true elite forces.

The others, such as Snorlax, Bewear, and Noivern, mostly serve as temporary Pokémon to fill the gap in his identity as a hunter.

Xia Yan was quite clear about the roles of these spirits.

Even now, Snorlax and Bewear are both very strong.

But Xia Yan believed that it wouldn't be long before Tokis and the others caught up.

It's just that because of the sensitivity of his current identity, it can't be brought to the forefront.

"almost."

Xia Yan looked up at the sky.

Although the gray fog filled everything, Mingxuan could still feel that it had become much dimmer.

"I wasted a lot of time..." Xia Yan muttered to himself.

"Do you want to go into the water?" Naz asked as she saw Xia Yan finish, and finally ran back up.

"Ah."

Put all three water-type Pokémon back into the water.

They hovered silently on the water's surface, awaiting Xia Yan's instructions.

Xia Yan promised them that when he was about to leave the island, they could leave on their own if they wanted to, which is why the subjugation process was so quick.

Of course, part of the reason is also because Snorlax and Bewear showed enough "friendliness".

"I also......"

Just as Naz was about to excitedly suggest going together, her phone rang.

It's a satellite phone.

The moment the call connected, the voice on the other end immediately focused Xia Yan's attention.

It's Sakaki!

"Naza".

Sakaki's voice was deep and carried an undeniable seriousness.

Sabrina stuck out her tongue. "Boss Sakaki."

Is this where "Boss Sakaki" is?

He was just calling him "Uncle Sakaki" a moment ago.

Xia Yan squinted.

"You ran off again?"

"hey-hey......"

"Go back quickly, they are not safe without you."

"oh oh."

During their conversation, Naz didn't try to hide it from Xia Yan, so he overheard some of what they said.

Naza went out on a mission this time.

As for the specifics of the mission, Xia Yan didn't hear it.

But it's estimated to be related to this island.

The call was about to end.

Naz said, "By the way, Boss Sakaki, I met a really interesting person. He talks like you, so eloquently. I'll bring him to meet you next time, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yan was completely taken aback.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

"Really? If you approve of me, then I definitely want to meet you sometime."

"Uh-huh."

"Remember to complete the task."

After saying that last sentence, the phone was hung up.

Naza smiled at Xia Yan and waved to him, "Then I won't go down with you."

"Um......."

See you next time.

After saying that, Sabrina and Espeon vanished from Xia Yan's sight.

“Sakaki…” Xia Yan pressed his temple.

to be frank.

Xia Yan was actually conflicted.

I don't want to meet the fearsome leader of Team Rocket, but I'm also curious to see what kind of person Giovanni, who is so devoted to so many people, really is.

Shake his head.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Forget it, let's not see each other."

With his small frame, if he actually got into the Rockets' headquarters, he really wouldn't have any say in things anymore.

Even with Dragon Baruto protecting him, it's the same.

However, Naz's departure did relieve him of some constraints.

Summon Alakazam.

"Let's do it again, Alakazam."

"Whoosh."

Hu nodded and activated the spoon, creating a superpowered space.

...

...

The remote Kanto region.

The basement of Joban Gym in Joban City.

The Rockets' base.

After hanging up the phone, Sakaki shook his head with a helpless smile.

"Boss Sakaki, is it really okay to leave it to Lady Sabrina?"

Three people dressed in white lab coats, looking like researchers, stood respectfully before Sakaki.

The one who raised the question was Dr. Nanbo, who was standing on the far left.

The other two are Dr. Fuji and Natsume.

They are all top talents within Team Rocket and hold special positions, with Blaine being the Gym Leader of the Crimson Lotus Gym in the Kanto region.

And they.

These are the three key members of the Rockets' research team currently working on the Dream Gene.

Dr. Nanbo's research focuses on the control of spirits.

Dr. Fuji's research focuses solely on the pure genes of elves.

Blaine was in charge of the elf fossils.

Hearing Dr. Nanbo's doubts, Sakaki said confidently, "As long as that thing is really there, it's fine to give it to Natsume."

One of Sakaki's most prominent characteristics is his trust in the abilities of his subordinates.

Of course, this trust is based on the premise that Sakaki approves of it.

The Rockets have extracted the dreamlike gene from a fossil, from a single eyelash of a dream.

But the genes of a dream are constantly changing; they can be the genes of any elf.

In order to replicate Mew, or even create a Pokémon stronger than Mew, Team Rocket needs to combine the Pokémon of other powerful Pokémon in a complex process.

Sabrina's mission this time is to bring back a genetic sample of a powerful Pokémon.

Dr. Nanbo affirmed, "Yes, it is. I found traces of that guy approaching that place before, which is how I happened to find the island."

"But Boss Sakaki entrusted the first excavation mission on that island to the Hunter's Guild..."
