I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

Xu Li felt that there was nothing wrong with AZ's behavior, even though his purpose was simply revenge.

But it is not Vladali's neurotic 'ideal' new world after all.

If AZ was replaced by Vladali, he would never be able to obtain the forgiveness of "Hua Yeti" in his life.

Looking at the backs of Hua Yeti and AZ hugging and crying, Xu Li also expressed his sincere blessings.

Although people's emotions are not mutually exclusive, Xu Li also couldn't quite understand the complicated relationship between Hua Yeti and AZ. Although their immortality and resurrection were forced and wrong, they insisted on not seeing each other, torturing each other. This kind of behavior...

Xu Li really couldn't understand.

But at least they don't feel noisy.

Just as AZ and Huayedi reunited, time passed slowly and the people from the alliance finally arrived, led by Karunori.

She came directly to Xu Li, blinked her eyes under her delicate makeup, and said, "Is this... the base of Team Flare?"

Xu Li sighed and pointed at the large characters on the sign: 'Fladali Research Institute': "Isn't that obvious?"

Faced with Xu Li's slight speechlessness.

"No, I mean... Hey!" Caroline gritted her teeth in anger and said, "It's so obvious, I know it! I sent people to search this place a long time ago, but they didn't find anything..."

Xu Li: “…”

Seeing Karuna's somewhat annoyed face, Xu Li thought that the people who searched here would be very uneasy when they returned, so he didn't say much. He just waved his hand and let Gengar lead the way with a smile.

Gengar had already scoured the Flare base, knowing it better than the average Flare member. He had also looted all the valuables inside.

……

After watching the Alliance seize the Flare Team base, Xu Li stopped Kaluna and asked her to go to a place with him.

Karen blinked: "Oh... is it a surprise?"

Xu Li: “…”

After a pause, he said, "I guess so."

Then they arrived at Baitan Town and checked out at the Baitan Hotel.

Xu Li was about to go up.

Caroline's fair face turned slightly red, and she said nervously, "Is it, is it... a little, no, not good..."

Xu Li: “?”

Karuna continued, "Maybe, maybe our relationship hasn't reached that point yet. Besides, I'm afraid someone will recognize me... I'm still a first-rate..."

Xu Li: “???”

No, what is this Carlos champion thinking!

"It's not that kind of thing. You'll know if you come with me and take a look." Xu Li said helplessly.

Caroline: “Huh?”

Wasn't it a surprise? With her heart in turmoil, Karuna, hiding her face as a household name in the Kalos region, or in the Pokémon world, quietly followed Xu Li to the hotel.

Then she did see something that surprised her.

"Pakila?!" she screamed.

“…” Pakira was silent as she looked at Kalno who suddenly appeared.

Although she had expected that they would not meet like this, Pakila still didn't know what to say.

In the hotel, Xijiana, who was in charge of guarding Pakila, put down the small armored dragon in her hand, which had been spinning around out of boredom and had made her head confused, and stared at Xu Li and Kaluna who were coming up with suspicious eyes.

She looked wary.

"Pakila, she's from Team Flare," Xu Li broke the silence and continued to talk to Karuna, "Although I knocked her out during Team Flare's operation this time and she didn't participate in it, she must have helped Team Flare do a lot of heinous things in the past."

Pakira snorted in retort: ​​"Not at all!"

"Yeah." Xu Li nodded as expected, and then said, "That means he did a lot of bad things."

Pakila: “…”

Looking at Xu Li's really handsome face, Pachila suddenly wanted to jump up and attack this bastard fiercely!

Karuna then asked, "Pakila, is this true?"

Pakila remained silent, which was considered as her agreement.

Xu Li shrugged: "I'll leave this to you."

Even if Pakira didn't help Team Flare do many wrong things, she would still be punished for knowingly breaking the law just because of her status as one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although Kazuki and Rika from the Masked Army later became the Four Heavenly Kings of Chengdu, that was after the fall of the Masked Army, and Pakira's situation was much more serious than theirs.

After all, the Carlos Alliance shouldn't be in as much need of talent as the Padia Alliance, right?

Xu Liba stopped and handed the Poké Ball he took from Pakira to Kaluna, then left with Shijiana.

He doesn't want to care about what's happening here anymore.

After all, he doesn't have the responsibilities of an alliance member, Pakila is not Nancy, and he doesn't want to defend Pakila.

……

"So you came to see me as soon as you got back? I'm so happy..."

In a cave on Mount Tianguan in Sinnoh.

Nazi looked at Xu Li, who was sitting opposite her. The black hair on her forehead was slightly sweaty, and even in the swaying, it still adhered to her smooth forehead. Her face was slightly flushed, with a hint of intoxication.

Xu Li hummed softly: "Hmm..."

Nancy also breathed a sigh of relief: "Hmm..."

Then, Nazhi resisted the trembling of her steps and stood up.

boo~

"Well..." Nazzi exhaled again, then repeated with a smile, "I'm very happy."

"You're getting bolder and bolder. Are you happy that you can do whatever you want in the wild?" Xu Li complained softly, then said, "Tell me, Team Rocket, what's going on? You just saw Articuno's state..."

"My superpower is that I'm constantly observing my surroundings. No one will see..." Nancy smiled, "Team Rocket, this has to start with... Sakaki's ambition..."

……

At this time, in Kanto, Team Rocket base.

Shintori looked at the flat screen in front of him with a somewhat grim expression and said, "Master Sakaki, Apollo said that after searching for five days, he really couldn't find any trace of Articuno."

"besides."

"Xia Bo, somehow, he defected."

Sakaki sat at the wooden table with a sullen expression. He tapped the table lightly for a moment before saying, "Anything else?"

Mana: "...No other news."

Sakaki said softly: "A bunch of trash!"

"However, since we can't find Articuno, there's no need to look for it anymore. The absence of Articuno and Xia Bo won't affect the outcome."

"Restrict them during this period and don't make any more trouble. They were already very violent before, and they haven't changed yet... Especially Apollo. He is forbidden to leave the Yuhong City base during this period."

"Have him report his action plan for the period! I asked him before, but he was hesitant! Am I being too kind?"

Sakaki said this, but a faint smile still appeared on his face, because,

——Mewtwo, it's almost done.

Before this, Sakaki didn't want to cause any accidents, and even if Xia Bo defected inexplicably, he didn't want to intervene on a large scale.

Even without Xia Bo, the remaining researchers can still continue to complete the remaining development of Mewtwo.

It's just around the corner.

Sakaki nodded: "Notify them."

Manatori bowed: "Yes!"

After Manatori left, Sakaki silently picked up the phone in his hand, looked at the avatar in the address book, and his face revealed a hint of distress.

"Xiaoyin..." He sighed.

Until now, Xiaoyin’s replies to him have been no more than ten sentences per week.

"I will soon prove to you what kind of person your father is," he said softly.

Then his gaze turned to another portrait on the side.

This is the person Sakaki is most worried about, and the one he is most afraid of appearing at any moment and ruining his plans.

——Xu Li.

But luckily.

Sakaki thought: This person hasn't appeared in front of him for a long time, and he probably won't appear here for a while.

I think he's in Kalos, right? According to the intelligence, he seems to have done something incredible again.

That place is far away from Kanto and Team Rocket.

It’s better to be far away, it’s better to be far away... In this way, he can quietly start the plan and obtain the world’s strongest combat power in a place unknown to the alliance.

Sakaki thought so, and a faint smile appeared on his face again.

……

Guandu, Yuhong City, in front of Yuhong Game City.

It is still very lively here, with people coming and going between the commercial street and the game city.

Xu Li and Nazhi sat in a hidden corner of a beverage store, casually taking a sip of the frozen juice from the jug, glancing around.

Nancy's eyes were slightly purple as she said, "There are surprisingly few Team Rockets on the streets."

Xu Li: "Just say it if you want to. Why bother sucking my juice?"

Nancy smiled: "No?"

"Okay..." Xu Li said helplessly, feeling the fiery red jade pendant on his chest tremble slightly. He stroked the jade and comforted him, "Okay, I'll pack a few more. You can drink as much as you want after you leave here."

"Whoa..." The ancient jade fish took a short rest.

Xu Li went to Carlos to see new scenery without it, which made the Ancient Jade Fish feel very wronged. So this time when following Xu Li out, it had to think carefully and fight for its own rights!

Xu Li smiled helplessly.

suddenly.

Xu Li felt his eyes being covered by a small hand from behind.

Accompanied by the girl's happy voice: "Guess who I am?"

Xu Li immediately replied: "Xiao Lan."

"Hmm...how did you guess it so quickly..."

Xu Li's gaze returned to the girl, who then sat down on the chair next to him. Turning around, he saw Xiao Lan's bright smiling face.

He asked, “How is life with your parents?”

"It's a different feeling. My parents are in good health, so I started traveling." Xiaolan smiled, "I remembered what you said and never stole anything again!"

Xu Li smiled and said, "That's good."

He handed a Poké Ball to Blue: "A gift for you."

"Hey! So happy!" Xiaolan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly took the Poké Ball that Xu Li handed to her, "What Pokémon is it?"

"Puffball." Xu Li said.

"Jiggle?" Xiao Lan was puzzled. She already had one Jigglypuff, but two wouldn't be a problem. After all, they were given to her by Xu Li, so she would take good care of them!

Xu Li smiled: "A different Jigglypuff, maybe you could call it Roaring Tail, it's a paradox Pokémon. It might have some personality issues, but I've already made an agreement with it, and it's willing to follow you."

This one was a bit of a loner among Xu Li's Roaring Tail group. While not bullied or ignored, it was also the one with the fewest friends.

——Because its singing is considered to be the best among the group of Howlertails, and it is out of tune with the group of Howlertails whose singing is even worse.

So the other Howlertails felt that this Howlertail was out of tune.
