Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

"After all, I'm just a scoundrel. I got this power by luck by deceiving those idiots. I've been a petty tyrant in the Seven Islands for so many years, and that's enough."

"So I'm not leaving! I still need to take over the seven islands that I forcibly bought from you guys!"

As he spoke these words, Changshi added details to his final plan.

It was at this moment that the phone beside him rang.

It's a link that doesn't display any information at all.

"Hey, who is it?"

"Chang Shi, let's not talk about who I am for now. I just want to ask you one question—Ruo Zong's return these past few days must have been very difficult for you, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Shi first pursed his lips to suppress the expression that he instinctively wanted to reveal. Then, his features twisted, revealing a terrifying expression that was both angry and painful.

"Fuck you, what does it matter to you whether I feel good or not!"

Ah.

Upon hearing this, Jack smiled.

In his view, the fact that Changshi became so easily red-hot shows that he is indeed in a bad mood and that he is indeed a scoundrel with no ability to manage his emotions.

He looks down on people who are so emotional.

Because his most admired ancestor, the Pirate King Jack who shared his name, was a person who was very good at managing his emotions!

Family records state that an ancestor once declared to all the crew members that he would surely obtain the legacy of the ideal king from the ruins, but he failed.

But after emerging from the ruins, despite the humiliation, he simply grinned and scratched his head, admitting his defeat.

They even said that this might be God telling them that humanity must rely on itself, and that kind of spirit impressed countless people.

In Jack's eyes, this is what a strong person should be like!

So he didn't care about Changshi's insults at all. Instead, he calmly poured himself a glass of wine, preparing to regain control of the conversation after the other party had finished cursing and was tired of it.

And then... twenty minutes passed just like that!

Jack was actually starting to lose his temper because the swearing went on for far too long, and there wasn't a single different swearing word for twenty minutes!

Even if he didn't care at first, he's actually feeling a bit uncomfortable now because so much time has been wasted.

Fortunately, Changshi is still human, and he gets tired and runs out of words.

It's starting to gain momentum now.

So Jack listened for another twenty minutes, and when Changshi had finally finished cursing, he was finally ready to speak.

"you..."

beep!

Hang up!

That's right, after Changshi had his fill of cursing, he hung up on him!

"I'm CNM!"

Jack broke down!

Blushing, she quickly called Changshi back!

When Changshi saw his phone light up again, he silently placed the activated Prism Gem aside. This time, he was the one who laughed.

......

8. What do our ancestors need evidence for?

"...You're not going to scold me this time?"

"I felt good cursing."

With just one sentence, Jack's emotions, which had not yet completely calmed down, boiled over again.

However, just as he said, he hates people who are controlled by their emotions, so even if he is very angry when communicating with 'outsiders', he will not show it.

"Heh, the fact that you're so angry shows that Ruozong is putting a lot of pressure on you."

"Let me tell you straight, the force that Ruozong is looking for right now is us, so I understand your situation—after all, Ruozong's status in the League is unassailable for you, plus he's assertive, smart, and his strength as a trainer far surpasses yours."

"For a trainer like you, whose ace Pokémon isn't even at the Elite Four level, and who's at most a Gym Leader level, Wakamichi, who's no worse than the current Champion, must be an insurmountable mountain."

As Jack spoke, the smile returned to his face.

In his view, these were things that Changshi was unwilling to face.

Given Chang Shi's previously emotional personality, he must be completely overwhelmed now!

But in reality, there was no such thing as "Changshi".

Because Jack was telling the truth. He's just an ordinary person. Given his abilities as a trainer and the state of the Pokémon he has, it would be quite impressive if his Ace Pokémon could break through to the Elite Four level by the time he's nearing the end of his life.

He never expected to be as good as Ruozong in every aspect.

How could he be so easily swayed by a single truth?

That's why he was able to continue acting under those circumstances.

"If you're willing to talk, then talk; if you're not, then get lost and stop bothering me!"

"Haha, I was just explaining the situation—after all, we're all in a tough spot, which is why there's room for cooperation between us."

"You are suffering because of Ruozong, and I am also agitated because of Ruozong."

"Would it be better for us if this person weren't there?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Shi narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at the glowing prism gem, and then put on an angry expression again.

"If Ruozong were so easy to solve, would I need you to remind me?"

"Our conflict has lasted for so many years. If we had this chance, the grass on his grave would probably be taller than you by now!"

Well!

Jack pursed his lips, almost losing control of his emotions.

Chang Shi had only made a casual sarcastic remark, but those words were incredibly damaging to him!

Jack's talent has been evident since he can remember, allowing him to easily surpass others in most areas.

But as the saying goes, when God opens some doors for you, he closes others. He also has his own flaws, namely his height!

His height stopped growing a long time ago, and even now he is only a little over 1.4 meters tall!

so...

Using my height as an excuse, Changshi, you piece of trash are courting death!

He thought this to himself, but Jack didn't show it.

"You can't find an opportunity simply because you're weak. Your own strength is not high, and most of the trainers under your command are scraps selected by the garrison team."

"To put it bluntly, why would a truly skilled trainer submit to you?"

“You bunch of rabble can’t do anything to Ruozong—but it’s different for us.”

"We have the power to kill him, all we need is..."

I'll create an opportunity for you!

Before Jack could finish speaking, Chang Shi hurriedly interjected, grinning from ear to ear.

"Cooperate! Please cooperate with me!"

"If you truly have the strength to kill Ruozong, I will definitely help you!"

"it is good."

Jack hadn't expected the collaboration to go so smoothly.

But when he thought about Changshi's emotional behavior, it made sense, and he gained a deeper understanding of how useless Changshi was.

Changshi was impatient, and he didn't want to say much to Changshi, so after making some simple agreements, their exchange ended.

beep--

After the call ended, Chang Shi looked at the Prism Gem.

This is the piece that Luo Ke left behind before he left when he came to visit him.

The reason why Nagashi hung up the phone once was that he used the time it took to answer the second call to summon 'Necrozma' and activate the Prism Gem.

"Sir, you heard everything."

Previously, when facing Jack, he was very emotional and easy to understand, but now Changshi has a restrained and obedient attitude, switching between the two seamlessly.

However, Rocco on the other side of the gem didn't care about such things. He directly addressed what he cared about.

"I heard you—but when you contacted me, it seemed the other person hadn't revealed their identity yet. And this was only your first exchange, so you didn't have a chance to extract any truly important information. So why did you contact me?"

"Sir, before I contacted you, I had my men track the phone signal while I was hurling insults at the other party. At that time, I already had a general idea of ​​the other party's location, which is why I contacted you."

"At that time, even if he hadn't called back, I would have tried to contact him shamelessly... The reason I contacted you was to tell you about these things, and also to hope that you could help me collect evidence."

When he said this, Changshi was somewhat helpless.

Over the past few days, through his tacit understanding with Ruozong, he has come to know Ruozong's identity—the current champion of China!

If you let Changshi handle this matter himself, he won't care about evidence. But he knows these idealists in the alliance, and it's hard to get them to take action without evidence.

If Rocco doesn't intervene, then his situation will be just as Jack described... a rabble!

Without a solid foundation, many things will be difficult to accomplish.

Therefore, Nagashi had no choice but to back down.

But he didn't understand Rocco.

"no need."

With a silent sigh, Chang Shi rejected him.

"You already have the general location of the other party, so just give it to me, even if it's an entire area, it's fine."

"I will find the other party."

Chang Shi was stunned by Luo Ke's words, and he even subconsciously asked a question.

"Sir, don't you need evidence?"

"evidence?"

Ah.

Luo Ke smiled.

"I can only say that it's best if I've misunderstood—otherwise, when I arrest them and search their memories one by one, I'll have all sorts of evidence!"

"So stop talking nonsense and send me the other party's location now!"

"Yes!"

Without further hesitation, Chang Shi quickly established contact with Luo Ke through the Prism Gem and sent him the information.

After the light from the prism gem faded, Chang Shi let out a sigh of relief, a slight smile appearing on his face as he relaxed a bit.

"This champion from China...is truly reassuring."

......

9. A pirate is a pirate.

Deep in the ocean, a submarine, its color blending in with its surroundings, has established itself here using specialized technology.

It's like a mobile underwater base.

Inside, Jack was standing on a chair, his hands on the table, discussing cooperation with Nagashi with his generation of 'Jack Pirate Crew' executives.

Or rather... they're researching how to kill Wakamune!

Jack had to tell these executives about this decision, because without the help of others, if he relied solely on himself... well, even ten of him together wouldn't escape being taken down by Ruozong!

After all, he was only at the Heavenly King level. When he encountered Ruozong, who focused on fast-paced suppression, it was no longer a battle, but rather a "food delivery".
