"Fuck, Xiao Gang?! When did you get here? Shouldn't you be in Nibi City now?"
Looking at the familiar squinting eyes in front of him, Gongsun Yan was almost scared to jump up from the ground. There was suddenly another person next to him, but he didn't feel anything wrong. This shows how terrifying Xiaogang's stealth skills are.
"Haha, I miss you all. Anyway, I don't have much to do in the Nibi Gym. My parents are watching over the gym, and Jiro has grown up. I can travel outside without any worries."
When Xiaogang said this, there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes. Although Gongsun Yan doubted whether he had seen it wrong, Xiaogang's squinting eyes could actually reveal such a dazzling light, but reality was so confusing.
However, Gongsun Yan could also understand Xiaogang's current mood. After his two unreliable parents ran away one after another, this ten-year-old child struggled to support the huge Nibee Gym, playing the role of both father and mother, which really took a lot of effort.
Now that his parents have finally returned home and his younger brother Jiro can take care of himself, the burden on him can be said to have been completely lifted.
And this time when he went back, he also realized that there would be no problems at the current Nibee Gym even without him, which made him feel very relieved.
Although it may not sound nice, Xiaogang has actually never regarded his parents as adults, because they are more like children who have not grown up, so Xiaogang is so worried.
"I say, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Let's go and see why Gyarados went wrong."
Gongsun Yan felt a little headache. After seeing Xiaogang, Xiaoxia went straight up to him and started chatting, completely forgetting what their original purpose was. Even Xiaoyao and the others joined in, and the group was chatting enthusiastically.
"No need, this thing is the cause of the trouble. Gyarados found it under the water." Xiaozhi walked back from the edge of the pond and handed over a device similar to a Rubik's Cube in his hand.
Xiaozhi did not stay with the others. He ran to the pond from the beginning to talk to his Gyarados. Gongsun Yan originally thought that Xiaozhi went to praise the other party, but it turned out that he was looking for this thing.
"What can such a small thing have... Shit! How can there be electricity in it?"
Gongsun Yan was still very confused when he reached out to take the "magic cube" handed over by Xiaozhi. However, the moment he held it in his hand, a strong electric current was released from it, and Gongsun Yan subconsciously loosened his hand.
"Hmm? Is there electricity on it? No wonder Gyarados was so careful when he handed me this thing."
Xiaozhi was quick to grab the "magic cube" that fell from Gongsun Yan's hand. After feeling it for a while, he found that his right hand was indeed numb.
"No, you didn't feel anything?" Gongsun Yan's eyes almost popped out. He just touched it lightly and now half of his body was numb, but Xiao Zhi took it in his hand but there was no reaction at all, and he even had the leisure to look through it.
"Hahaha, it actually feels okay. This amount of current is nothing compared to Pikachu's 100,000 volts." Xiaozhi scratched his head and said with a little embarrassment.
"Pika!" Pikachu also looked proud, even though Xiaozhi was not praising him when he said this.
"..." Gongsun Yan didn't know how to complain for a moment. Thousands of words came to his throat, and in the end he could only turn them into a faint sentence.
"What a newbie."
After realizing this, Gongsun Yan decisively gave up the idea of refreshing his worldview and began to look at the "Cube" in Xiaozhi's hand. However, if he had to touch it to check it out, he still gave up this suicidal idea, because he did not have the BT physique like Xiaozhi.
"Xiaozhi, look here, isn't there a capital R embossed on it?"
After taking a closer look, Gongsun Yan actually discovered something wrong. He had not held out much hope at first. After all, such a sophisticated device should not have any personal marks on it.
"I suddenly thought of those three funny guys. What about you, Xiaozhi?" Gongsun Yan looked at Xiaozhi with a strange expression and found that Xiaozhi's expression was equally strange. It was obvious that they had the same idea.
"But haven't they been quite well behaved during this period? Why are they now..." Xiaozhi said puzzledly.
"Haha, how can they be honest? They are obviously being sanctioned by me." Gongsun Yan sneered.
Chapter 38 Gongsun Yan's Fury
Because of Gongsun Yan's intervention, the three members of Team Rocket were unable to cause any trouble during the entire Caiyou Conference. But also because of this, the three members of Team Rocket devoted themselves to making money, and it can be said that they made a huge profit.
How should I put it? When the Caiyou Convention reached its final stage, the three members of Team Rocket had already developed to the point where half of the shops in the venue were selling their products, and the other half of the shops also had more or less connections with them.
As the saying goes, monopoly business is the most profitable, and the money earned by the three members of Team Rocket during the Caiyou Conference is not a small number even for Kojiro, a rich young man. It can be seen how terrifying their ability to make money is.
If Gongsun Yan had such a strong ability to make money, then why would he join the Rockets Team? He could just go straight into the business world and build a new Sasaki family within ten years, and he would be able to enjoy wealth and glory in the future.
But the three members of Team Rocket were all loyal to the Rockets. Not only were they not tempted by the huge sum of money, but they became more determined to catch Pikachu.
So after the Rocket Team trio returned to the Kanto region, they immediately went to see Boss Sakaki, expressed their determination, gave him 90% of the money they earned, then turned around and left the room to think about their next plan for capturing Pikachu.
"...Madori, are those three guys from Team Rocket? Why don't I remember?"
Even with Sakaki's shrewdness, he couldn't understand what had just happened. Three strange people suddenly walked in, said a bunch of nonsense, and then turned and left, leaving a large sum of money before leaving.
"Boss, they should be the three people, Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth, who were expelled for forgetting to pay the membership fee. However, they don't seem to know about this."
As Sakaki's secretary, Manori's skill of having a photographic memory is obviously indispensable. Although she was a little confused by the previous scene, she quickly remembered the information about the three members of Team Rocket.
"So that's how it is. Considering that they have handed over so much funding, let's add their names and raise the confidentiality level a bit." Sakaki thought for a moment and added.
"Kick out the current head of the logistics team. He didn't even notice the team members who were so good at making money. It's not too much to sentence him for dereliction of duty."
"Yes." Manatori agreed and went to give the order, leaving Sakaki alone in the office.
"Musashi, Kojiro, Meow Meow, I almost forgot about these three people. Aren't they the most suitable candidates to join the special operations team?" Sakaki's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, and then the room continued to fall into endless silence.
..........................................................................................
“What a great feeling!” X3
At this time, the three members of Team Rocket who were most suitable to form the special operations team as described by Sakaki were lurking in the backyard of the Oak Laboratory, constantly putting the unconscious Pokémon into bags.
In fact, they had been lurking in Professor Oak's backyard for a long time. According to their original personalities, they would definitely build a big robot, then rush into the Oak Laboratory and start to fight, and then gloriously say GG.
But they are different now. After that week of emergency training, although the strength of the three Rockets players has not changed much, there has been a big change in their thinking. At least they know that they can't just rely on recklessness in everything, but still need to look at tactics.
After a brief observation and reflection, the three members of Team Rocket discovered that, with their strength, the fact that they were able to escape unscathed was already the result of the other party showing mercy, so they unanimously decided not to act rashly but to proceed slowly.
Then the three members of Team Rocket used the 10% of the remaining funds to buy a lot of materials and made many magical machines so that they could capture the Pokémon in the mountains behind the Oak Laboratory without being noticed.
What Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi discovered was just a machine left behind by Team Rocket that was used to target water-type Pokémon. In fact, they have designed many different types of similar machines to target Pokémon of various attributes.
Because the mountain behind the Oak Laboratory is so huge, there are not only Pokémon left here by trainers, but also many wild Pokémon living in it. Even Ash's Bulbasaur, no, it's Bulbasaur, doesn't know how many Pokémon live in it.
So Team Rocket targeted the Pokémon living in remote areas, used the machines they made to sneak attack these Pokémon, and finally locked up the unconscious Pokémon and handed them over to the Team Rocket members who came to collect them.
Because Team Rocket was very clean this time, if Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi hadn't found the missed machine, they might not have known that Team Rocket and others had already infiltrated the Oak Laboratory.
Perhaps because they had experienced so many hard times before, Team Rocket had developed a good habit of thriftiness. They could have asked for someone to be sent every day to pick up the Pokémon they caught, but they only sent someone to pick them up when the number of Pokémon they caught reached the limit.
The three members of Team Rocket have already calculated that after catching this batch of Pokémon, the required number will be reached, so they called their colleagues in Team Rocket to come and take over.
The three of them made such joyful sounds after imagining how happy Boss Sakaki would be after seeing these Pokémon and what kind of rewards he would give them.
However, although Team Rocket is called the real protagonist, they are not the orthodox protagonists in the anime, and naturally not in this novel either, so their wishful thinking will definitely be thwarted by the righteous protagonist.
"Team Rocket! How dare you attack the Pokémon in the research institute? You are so brave!"
Just as the three members of Team Rocket were fantasizing about getting promoted and getting a raise while throwing unconscious Pokémon into cages or sacks, a roar filled with anger rang in their ears.
When they looked up in surprise, they saw Gongsun Yan standing on the Rayquaza. At this moment, he had completely changed his previous funny image, and a raging fire was burning in his eyes, which meant that he was angry from the bottom of his heart.
Chapter 39: Rescue the hostages? Not happening.
Gongsun Yan was clearly just standing there, but the three members of Team Rocket felt a creepy murderous aura enveloping them, making them dare not act rashly.
To be honest, Gongsun Yan is now extremely angry. He has given the three members of Team Rocket chances time and time again, but they have always been stubborn and even went to the Oak Laboratory to cause sabotage. How can Gongsun Yan tolerate this?
Gongsun Yan himself is actually not an irritable person. I believe everyone can see his true nature, that is, he is just an ordinary person who is kind and a little funny. Compared to strength, he hopes that all Pokémon can live happily.
If it were in those early Japanese anime, Gongsun Yan would probably be the kind of idiot who wishes for world peace. If this kind of idiot wasn't the protagonist, he probably wouldn't even survive three episodes.
But compared with those stupid male protagonists, Gongsun Yan is a little different. That is, Gongsun Yan understands the principle of taking care of oneself when poor and helping the world when rich. When his own strength is insufficient, he will not get carried away and do something stupid.
Although Gongsun Yan's current strength cannot be said to be able to dominate the alliance, he can still be considered a good player, so the sense of justice in Gongsun Yan's bones has taken root.
When he and Xiaozhi found out that the machine was the work of Team Rocket, they immediately thought of the fact that a certain researcher had mentioned casually before about the decrease in the number of Pokémon living in the back mountain. They immediately realized that it was Team Rocket who was behind this.
After figuring this out, Gongsun Yan immediately realized that the missing Pokémon might have met with an accident. He immediately released Rayquaza, which was resting in the Poké Ball, and went to look for Team Rocket who were hiding in the dark and doing bad things.
Xiaozhi took the newly captured Mew to look for the Pokémon that were captured by Team Rocket. Although they didn't know whether those Pokémon were still in the back mountain, they couldn't give up no matter how small the chance was.
As for Xiaogang and the others, they are responsible for going back to the Oak Laboratory to ask for reinforcements. Although Xiaogang and Xiaoxia are both strong, their mobility is much weaker than Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi. Bringing them along will slow down the search speed, so they have to be excluded this time.
Originally, Gongsun Yan didn't have much hope of getting those Pokémon back, because Team Rocket did such a great job this time. It took them so many days to react, and those Pokémon were in great danger.
However, Gongsun Yan obviously did not expect that Team Rocket would be so stingy. In order to save a little shipping cost, they have not taken away the captured Pokémon until now, allowing Xiaozhi to follow the clues and find the temporary base where those Pokémon were placed. This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
However, although Gongsun Yan received the good news from Xiaozhi that the missing Pokémon were still there, this did not improve Gongsun Yan's angry mood at all. Instead, he became even more angry.
Because based on the few words sent by Xiaozhi, Gongsun Yan learned that although the missing Pokémon were not taken away, their conditions were definitely not good, and most of them were even in a coma.
You have to know that if you want to capture all these Pokémon, the number of Poké Balls needed is not a small number. Team Rocket is unwilling to pay even the little shipping fee, let alone the money for the Poké Balls.
Not to mention that Team Rocket captured not only the wild Pokémon living in the back mountain, but also a certain number of Pokémon that were deposited in Oak Laboratory by trainers. Those Pokémon cannot be captured again with Poké Balls.
Not only that, because they were afraid that the roars of these Pokémon would be too loud and expose their actions, Team Rocket never fed them once after capturing them, and they didn't even give them water, completely abusing them.
If there weren't some water-type Pokémon among this group of Pokémon, most of them would have been dehydrated and unconscious by the time Ash found them.
In order to prevent those Pokémon that look difficult to deal with from causing trouble, Team Rocket installed a machine on each of them. Once these Pokémon wake up, strong electric currents or smelly poisonous gases will be released from the machine, causing them to fall into a coma again.
As for how angry Xiaozhi was when he saw the situation of that group of Pokémon, Gongsun Yan had no idea, but from the few words Xiaozhi sent, Gongsun Yan felt a burning anger that was no weaker than his own.
"Think carefully about how to explain your behavior. If you can't explain it well, that will be your last words." Gongsun Yan now looked at the three members of Team Rocket as if he were looking at three dead people.
"Uh, well, I think we can explain it."
Meow Meow seemed to be frightened by Gongsun Yan's eyes and tone. Not only did her voice become much weaker, but her body also began to tremble. However, Gongsun Yan keenly noticed the implicit eye contact between the three members of Team Rocket, indicating that they were not as honest as they looked.
"No, I don't think you want to explain. Rayquaza, destroy the death ray!" After discovering Team Rocket's little tricks, Gongsun Yan's tone immediately became gloomy, and he actually directly commanded Rayquaza under his feet to launch an attack.
"What, little brat No. 3, are you serious? Run!" At first, Meow Meow didn't believe that Gongsun Yan would attack them directly, as they still had Pokémon in their hands.
But after seeing that there was really an orange-yellow ball of light coming out of Rayquaza's mouth and it was constantly getting bigger, Meow Meow was no use in not wanting to believe it, because Gongsun Yan really wanted to kill them.
The three members of Team Rocket were not going to lose their lives on such a small mission. The Pokémon they caught could be lost at will, and saving their lives was more important. They took out two smoke bombs from their pockets, threw them at their feet and ran away.
Gongsun Yan stood on Rayquaza's head, calmly looking at the smoke below. After experiencing Xue's smoke bomb, this kind of ordinary smoke bomb was almost nothing in his eyes. So the three members of Team Rocket thought they had hidden their bodies well, but in fact it was of no use at all.
However, although Gongsun Yan discovered the traces of the three members of Team Rocket, he did not cause trouble for them. Instead, he quickly jumped to the ground and checked the Pokémon that were unconscious.
The reason why Gongsun Yan acted so decisively just now was that he didn't want Team Rocket to discover his true purpose. He hated this kind of hostage-saving behavior the most.
Chapter 40: Showing mercy? Just luck
Gongsun Yan had seen this kind of story countless times in his previous life, where the protagonist was tied up and led by the nose by the criminals because the criminals took hostages, and even good people were sacrificed. Every time it made his blood pressure rise rapidly.
Therefore, since his previous life, Gongsun Yan has been very keen on Russian-style rescue. Although it is indeed not very humane, it can protect the safety of law enforcement personnel to the greatest extent and is also a good method.
Gongsun Yan just asked Rayquaza to prepare the Destruction Death Ray, but in fact it was not entirely to scare Team Rocket and force them to escape. If they continued to resist, Gongsun Yan would definitely not hold back and would definitely continue to fight with the Destruction Death Ray.
Although Rayquaza's destructive death ray will cause secondary damage to Pokémon that are in a coma, they are protected by the rules of the Pokémon world and will definitely not be in danger of death. They will just need a long period of rest.
In this regard, Gongsun Yan can proudly say that he will cover all the expenses of these Pokémon during their recuperation period. After all, he is partly responsible for their injuries.
If it really comes to this, the three members of Team Rocket will have no chance of escaping. Although their ability to withstand attacks is stronger than many legendary beasts, they will definitely have to lie down for a while if they are hit by this destructive death ray.
By then, Gongsun Yan, Xiaozhi, and even Professor Oak will be able to settle the score with the three members of Team Rocket. The scene will be so beautiful that Gongsun Yan can hardly imagine it.
Therefore, the decisive escape of the three members of Team Rocket not only prevented the unconscious Pokémon from suffering secondary damage, but also found a way for themselves to survive.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Dr. Oak looks like a kind old man now. When he was young, his muscles were much more exaggerated than those of the fighting king Hiba, and his fighting ability was even stronger.
However, Gongsun Yan had no intention of letting the three members of Team Rocket go so easily, considering that they were once his favorite characters and had not caused him any trouble just now, they could be spared the death penalty, but they could not escape the punishment of living!
"Raykuzo, send a swarm of dragon stars in that direction. No need to control them. Whether they can survive depends on their luck."
Gongsun Yan casually patted Rayquaza beside him, pointed in a direction and spoke. Rayquaza immediately understood what Gongsun Yan meant and flew back into the clouds. A burst of energy far more violent than the destructive death light just now spurted out of his mouth and rushed into the universe.
A meteorite floating outside the Pokémon Planet was attracted by this energy and fell directly into the Pokémon Planet. It was completely shattered by the energy, turning into countless tiny fragments and falling on the back mountain.
Gongsun Yan had already investigated before letting Rayquaza take action, and found that perhaps because Team Rocket had acted too thoroughly recently, the Pokémon living nearby had either been captured or escaped, so Gongsun Yan did not have to worry about hurting innocent people.
The smoke rising into the sky almost filled the entire forest. Even though those fragments were only very small pieces that appeared when the meteorite shattered, when they fell to the ground, they still caused such a big scene, which shows how terrifying the divine beast is.
Just as all real men would not look back at the explosion, Gongsun Yan did not look back to see what effect Rayquaza's move had. He said that he would only make one move, and he would never regret it.
"Okay, Professor Oak, please send someone here. These Pokémon are not in good condition and need treatment urgently. How long will it take for Miss Joy to arrive?"
Gongsun Yan said a few words to the little genius phone watch (Pokémon Navigator) on his hand, and hung up the phone before waiting for Professor Oak to reply.
"Team Rocket, you'd better stay away from me. Next time I see you, I won't be so easy to talk to." Gongsun Yan glanced at the ruins in the distance, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, but he turned his head back and waited for Professor Oak and the others on the spot.
..........................................................................................
"Ahem, Musashi, Kojiro, are you two okay?"
In a deep pit created by the explosion, an ordinary pile of earth suddenly shook, and a cat's paw stretched out from it. After sweeping away all the sand and dirt, Meow Meow's terrified face was revealed.
Although Meowth is loyal to Team Rocket, it doesn't mean that he doesn't cherish his life. They were in a life-and-death situation just now, and they were only able to survive because of the help of Musashi's Goranong. So as soon as Meowth escaped, he started looking for Musashi and Kojiro.
"Pah! I'm fine. Musashi is here too, but she seems to have been knocked unconscious. Come over and help, pull both of us out of the dirt."
Meowth's voice never received a response. Just when he thought that Musashi and Kojiro had both died, a weak voice came from the side.
