Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

"Yes!" came a voice from the shadows in the corner.

“I need to know all his information accurately, and I’m willing to use some special connections within the alliance, even if it exposes a few people.”

The shadow in that corner seemed to be in a daze.

I didn't expect Giovanni to be willing to pay such a high price.

But he didn't ask any questions; he just became more serious.

"Yes!"

Only after the person in the shadows in the corner seemed to have disappeared did a smile slowly appear on Sakaki's face.

"Is this the person Naz said is similar to me...? There is a bit of a resemblance."

...

...

A restaurant in the black market.

Restaurants located in the black market are no ordinary places.

Because some of the dishes use ingredients that are spirits!

For example, the "charcoal-grilled scallion duck," which is ridiculously expensive and always out of stock, is one of the restaurant's signature dishes.

There are also things like "Steamed Slowpoke's Tail" and "Deep-fried Magikarp," etc.

Xia Yan didn't order any of those dishes; he only asked for a few vegetarian dishes and waited quietly.

He has already put away the three-headed dragon.

But based on what he just showed, even if he didn't order any dishes, no one would dare to say anything.

Xia Yan didn't have to wait long.

A surge of superpowers.

A cute little girl appeared in front of Xia Yan.

Naza!

However, those around her could not see Naz's appearance clearly, only making out a vague outline.

Naza sat in the chair, swinging her legs nimbly, tilting her head and blinking her eyes, as if she wanted to get to know Xia Yan again.

"What?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"No, I just saw someone whose superpower frequency is somewhat similar to yours."

Xia Yan couldn't help but smile.

He then took out two special small boxes from his pocket.

"You're here to pick up your things, right? They're all here."

Seeing that Xia Yan didn't react, Na Zi immediately felt bored and pouted.

However, they still managed to wrap the two boxes with their superpowers, and they were quite careful in their actions.

"You saw Boss Sakaki?"

Sabrina didn't shy away from the topic at all and directly mentioned Sakaki's name.

Although this is not exactly a big secret among the league's top brass today.

However, Giovanni is still the Gym Leader of Viridian City, and Team Rocket has even made Viridian City their base.

This shows that there is still a tacit understanding between the league and the Rockets that is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

The Rockets have noticeably reduced the frequency of their antics recently, and the league is likely hoping to see this calmer atmosphere.

Even if it's just a brief moment of peace.

And perhaps beneath the calm surface of the lake lies some unpredictable outcome.

Xia Yan shrugged, neither confirming nor denying it.

"How was it? Isn't Boss Sakaki amazing?" Sabrina's eyes were filled with admiration, just like a little girl chasing after a star.

"right."

"What do you mean by 'right'?" Naz pouted, clearly not satisfied with Xia Yan's answer.

Xia Yan paused, holding his fork.

"He invited me to join the Rockets and promised me a top management position."

Naz's eyes lit up instantly, filled with a glimmer of hope.

"So, do you agree?"

I said I'd think about it.

Upon hearing this, Naz's eyes widened slightly. She stood on the chair, as if she wanted to stand up and hit Xia Yan on the head, her face flushed with anger.

But in the end, it didn't fall behind.

"Humph!"

With just a muffled groan, Naz disappeared from her seat.

Looking at the empty chair, Xia Yan was speechless.

shook his head.

After Natsumi left, Natsumi stopped eating and quickly left the black market and Golden City, heading towards Vermilion City.

If it weren't for what Kikuko asked him to do, he wouldn't have had to travel back and forth between the two cities in one night.

...

...

When I returned to the guest room at Sakuragi Laboratory in Kureha City, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

Push open the door.

The letter on the ground is still there.

With a casual glance, the fragile paper turned into fine dust under his superpower.

The contents of the letter were very simple.

They didn't explicitly say it was the Rockets, but just mentioned a promising project and asked Xia Yan if he was interested.

He also subtly touched on something that the alliance didn't really allow.

Xia Yan naturally didn't take the letter to heart.

just.

Just as he stretched and was about to go back for a nap, the door next to him suddenly opened.

"Xia Yan, so early?"

All I saw was...

Wearing her pajamas, Cynthia gently rubbed the corners of her eyes. Her long, golden hair, tied back with a cute hair tie, fell neatly without a trace of mess.

It seems that Xia Yan didn't try to hide the commotion when he returned, and it was also because it was indeed the wake-up time for some early risers.

"Pfft-"

Just as Cynthia was wondering why Natsuhiko wasn't answering her, she suddenly heard him burst into laughter.

I looked down, following his gaze.

When she saw the cute and playful Pippi print on the middle of her black pajamas, a blush involuntarily rose on her face.

Ignoring Xia Yan's reaction, she hurriedly ran back to her room.

Because it was the same research institute, she had previously stayed temporarily at Dr. Yamanashi's institute, but this time she was staying at Dr. Sakuragi's institute. For a moment, she forgot her usual habits and subconsciously opened the door.

result......

Xia Yan watched as Cynthia dashed into the room and couldn't help but smack his lips.

Who would have thought that Cynthia, who seems so aloof, also has a girlish heart?

"What are you laughing at?"

At this time.

Watari, already fully dressed, appeared behind Natsuhiko.

"So early?" Xia Yan was somewhat surprised by Du's appearance.

"I usually get up at this time to do tasks. Besides, didn't you get up too?"

Xia Yan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Du got up early; he hadn't slept all night.

Fortunately, he is a superhuman, so even if he doesn't sleep all night, it doesn't affect his energy much.

Good morning, Senior Xia Yan.

It seems like it was pre-arranged.

Kona has already gotten up.

She was even carrying a book as she walked in from outside.

I guess they've already been outside watching for a while.

This is what a true academic superstar looks like.

No wonder they are the face of Silver Academy today and the future representative of academic figures.

He was already exceptionally talented, and then he worked hard.

There's a reason why it became a hurdle on the road to becoming a champion.

"Good morning, Kona," Xia Yan greeted her with a smile.

When Korna walked over, Wataru wanted to say hello, but Korna simply turned her back on him.
