"Looks like I made the right choice in finding the right person. I'm pretty lucky." Ze Shu said with a smile after hearing Xia Bo's story of ending up with the Rockets.
"I don't think it's just good luck. You, the investigator, must have already uncovered quite a few details about my identity, since you haven't shown any surprise at all." Blaine chuckled twice, looked at Ze Shu, and said, "I was just hoping for the best before, but now I'm guilty, and I bear a great deal of responsibility for the Mewtwo incident. Tell me, since you haven't arrested me immediately, what do you want me to do?"
"Now that things have come to this, after I've finished what I did, or rather, after the Mewtwo incident is over, I will go to the League and explain everything in detail, and accept the punishment that is about to come. I believe that my heart will no longer be filled with fear and anxiety at that time."
"However, before that, I, as one of the main researchers who created Mewtwo, must be of some use."
Right?
Xia Bo took off his sunglasses, which had fallen and were no longer properly on, and looked directly at Ze Shu.
Ze Shu remained noncommittal, saying, "Of course, Mewtwo is currently missing and its emotions are unstable, so it could cause destruction at any time—like the Cerulean Cave before, I heard that half of that cave was destroyed by Mewtwo's psychic powers."
Blaine pondered for a moment: "Mewtwo is still in its incomplete form. After being implanted with my cells, it has been mixed with human thoughts. It is questioning its own existence, and if it loses control of its emotions, it could cause even greater destruction at any time. This is something I should be worried about."
"The Rockets are now also looking for SuperDream, pursuing a bigger plan."
As he spoke, Blaine looked at Zeki and asked, "So you came to me because you want to find a way to find Mewtwo before Team Rocket and stop it?"
Ze Shu sighed, "Yes."
Blair added, "I have a way, but it might not be that effective."
"It's good that you have a solution." Ze Shu nodded, then looked at the dazed Eucar on the ground and said, "Before that, this Team Rocket member, let me take you to meet up with your former colleagues."
Ouka looked utterly unwilling: "No, no! I, Ouka-sama, am not going!"
He tried to resist and struggle.
With his unusually large and robust physique, if he were to fight back, it would probably take more than a dozen normal people to subdue him. After all, he is a strange trainer who uses Pokémon as a support in battle and focuses on his own attacks.
"Let him have some peace and quiet," Ze Shu said.
"I won't be quiet, Ouka-sama!!" Ouka roared.
But after he yelled, there was a crisp "snap" sound, and Oka felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck.
"Ouch!! What are you doing!! Didn't you promise you'd treat me better after I answered your question?! Ouch!!"
He covered his neck and roared at Ze Shu.
"You broke your promise!"
Upon hearing this, Ze Shu looked at Oka's neck.
There, Gengar stood holding a brick, looking utterly embarrassed: "Gengar?!
It used so much force, yet it couldn't knock this big guy unconscious?!
This kind of force was enough to knock out several people in the past!
This is so embarrassing! It even made Ze Shu look like he didn't keep his word...
Gengar blushed at the thought.
Ze Shu laughed and said, "Hurry up and be quick, don't make a mistake."
Gengar puffed out its cheeks earnestly: "Gengar!"
So it mustered all its strength, raised the brick high, aimed the sharp, angular tip at Oka's incredibly thick neck, and then slammed it down!
"Goblin!!"
This time, there were no mistakes.
Oka remained silent, showing no sign of pain.
They received very preferential treatment.
"Lord Giovanni... The operation to capture Mewtwo in Cerulean Cave failed, and Mewtwo escaped. Its whereabouts are currently unknown, and a full fifth of the members who participated in the operation were captured by the League team led by Elite Four member Lance who arrived later."
'
"And...and...Ouka, whom we sent to capture Blaine, according to our men who were following him, suddenly vanished as if through a door halfway there. Now, he...he is also nowhere to be found."
"————"
In the pitch-black room, Manori stared at the list of bad news on the file in her hand, glancing at the middle-aged man leaning back in his boss's chair, eyes closed in rest. She maintained a tense expression, but inwardly she was filled with unease.
"Anything else? Real bird." At this moment, the middle-aged man spoke, without revealing any expression.
"No... there's no other news yet," Makoto replied. "Boss Giovanni, since the Cerulean Cave incident, if the League isn't an idiot, they should have already noticed Mewtwo."
"Hmm." Sakaki opened his eyes.
"We must speed things up, otherwise cough... cough cough."
Makoto's eyes widened, and he quickly handed over a handkerchief: "Sakaki-sama, your body..."
'
As Sakaki's secretary who always stayed by his side, Makoto had seen him cough suddenly many times before.
But recently, the cough has become more and more frequent, which makes Masato particularly worried about Sakaki's health.
But Sakaki wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and calmly said, "It's nothing, just a minor illness. I won't die."
As he said this, he put down the red-stained handkerchief, but his eyes fell on a group photo that was always on the table—a photo of a boy and an adult.
"We need to act quickly."
"Yes!" Masahiro quickly lowered his head.
Twin Islands are located in the sea next to Honglian Town.
The cave beneath the island was the former home of the Articuno, a "homebody bird".
"Seriously! You all left without telling me, Queen Higana! Do you know how annoying that brat from Pallet Town is? One battle wasn't enough, he wanted two, two wasn't enough, he wanted three..."
"Sometimes his Pikachu defeats me in an instant, and other times it seems stronger than my Salamence. It's really strange! I had to Mega Evolve my Salamence to win!"
"Ugh! Do you know that I, Queen Higana, had to undergo Mega Evolution to defeat a mere brat? How embarrassing is that for me?!"
"Especially after I Mega Evolved, that brat named Ash jumped up excitedly and insisted on telling me about Mega Evolution. Hmph, I, Queen Higanbana, told him all the glorious history of the Meteor Clan..."
"But that Xiao Zhi didn't seem to listen to anything; he's even dumber than me."
On the flat ground of Twin Islands, Higanbana, who arrived riding a Salamence, looked aggrieved and kept talking, puffing out her cheeks as she complained to Zeki.
"It's my fault, it's my fault, okay? Your Majesty, Queen Higana," Ze Shu said helplessly.
"Hmph. You know that much." Higanbana turned her face away, then looked around before realizing they were on a beach. "I've been battling that idiot Ash all afternoon, I haven't had a chance to play! Come on! Salamence, let's go play on the beach!"
"Goohoo..."
Beside her, the Flying Dragon was panting heavily, looking utterly exhausted.
You said you battled Ash all afternoon, so who was the main force in that battle? It was this one, of course! It even Mega Evolved and carried you here! Still want to play? It's too tired now!
Salamence is tired, I don't want to play.
So it rolled over on the beach, lay there paralyzed, and began to writhe in its cocoon.
Just then, a plump, white six-tailed dragon came running from afar, followed by a small, fiery red one. The six-tailed dragon had intended to take Zeki to see the sandcastle it had just built on this beach, but the Salamence was blocking its way.
Salamence's roll had stirred up sand, which splashed right onto Six-Tailed Fox, covering its clean body, which had just been vigorously scrubbed by Zeju in the sea, with fine sand.
"Ooh!" Six-Tails shook its chubby body, then puffed out its cheeks and glared resentfully at Salamence.
The Flying Dragon didn't notice, but suddenly felt a chill behind it.
"Goohoo (*□°)!!"
Just as it was about to turn around and do something, it suddenly heard a loud "Ooh!" from behind, as the six tails strained to hold their breath. A chill condensed and blew into the exposed belly of the Salamence, which had just turned around.
As you know, Salamence are most afraid of the cold.
"Goohoo! ∑ (AII!!)"
When the cold air touched the Salamence's belly, its body was frozen and it jumped up, letting out a pitiful cry. After landing, it struggled and rolled around on the ground like a pupa, as if trying to use the sand beneath it to ward off the cold.
In an instant, the entire area of the Twin Islands beach was filled with sand as the Salamence struggled and rolled, creating a chaotic scene. The sand beneath the Salamence sank deeper and deeper as it rolled.
"Huh?!" Higana was stunned by this sudden scene.
She opened her mouth, swallowed a few mouthfuls of sand, and choked a few times.
"Six-Tails, you..." Ze Shu looked speechlessly at the innocent-looking Six-Tails.
Seeing its speechless expression, Six-Tailed Fox Tree frowned. It knew Salamence was afraid of ice, but it hadn't expected such a strong reaction from just a slight chill!
It's obvious that its own combat strength isn't very strong.
Liuwei felt that it had a clear understanding of itself.
However, it is unaware that its self-perception of "weak combat power" is relative to its companions such as Glaceon and Froslass.
From another perspective, with its plump and chubby body, and having eaten and drunk well every day, the Vulpix has stored up a lot of energy. The ice it unleashed in its anger was enough to make a Salamence, caught off guard, jump up and down in fear.
However, the Salamence quickly calmed down; after all, it had learned its lesson from enduring so much cold. It had dug a deep hole in the beach, and lay down in it, letting out a long, pained sigh: "Gurgle..."
Its birth as a dragon is truly unlucky.
Ze Shu: "————"
He felt a little sorry for the Salamence.
"Huh?!" Higana exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the deep pit where Salamence had been lying. "What's this? Let me pick it up!"
Ze Shu had not yet figured out what Xi Jiana was referring to.
Higana bent down to pick it up and took it in her hand.
It was a very small, dark black fragment. When Zeju looked at it, he thought it looked a lot like the Dark Resonance Stone that Professor Oak had shown before—a resonance stone that could make Dragonite lose its memory upon contact.
Zeshu and Xiaolan, who had seen the Resonance Stone, would have been wary, but Xijiana wasn't there at the time and didn't know how dangerous the stone was; she actually picked it up right then and there.
"You should release it quickly..." Realizing this, Ze Shu hurriedly reminded Xi Jiana.
"Ah! Danger!" But before he could finish speaking, seemingly sensing the unusual nature of the Resonance Stone, or perhaps the danger perception of the Meteor Dwellers' inheritor, Higana cried out and quickly threw the Resonance Stone to the ground.
Fortunately, although Higana is an idiot, she has a keen sense of danger.
Zeshu was thinking just like that.
But then, Higana pointed to the Dark Resonance Stone she had just dropped and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What's this? Let me pick it up!"
Upon hearing this...
Zeqi: "???"
Under his gaze, Higana bent down and picked up the Dark Resonance Stone again.
then.
"Ah! This stone is strange! Oh no! There's danger!"
Next.
"Huh? What's this? A black stone? Let me pick it up!"
"Ah! This stone is bad!"
"Huh? What kind of stone is this? Let me pick it up!"
"ah...."
Watching Higanbana pick up and drop the items repeatedly, suffering from amnesia again and again, was quite comical.
Ze Shu fell silent, and the Salamence was dumbfounded.
Little Blue, who rushed over because of the commotion, was confused.
Liuwei blinked and chose to jump into Zeshu's arms to quietly watch the performance.
Xiaowei hesitated for a moment, then jumped into Zeshu's arms, peeking out with a curious look from Zeshu's arms that were encircling them, alongside Liuwei.
"So, these twin islands are the route Lugia's mother took when she first flew to Atlantis. That's why the Dark Resonance Stone is buried there."
"Waaaaah... I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore... Queen Higana, I've lost all face this time."
'
Higana rolled on the beach, looking dejected, far away from the dark resonance stone on the table.
"This is...this is far too dangerous! Although the Alliance hasn't yet collected any cases of victims harmed by the Dark Resonance Stone!"
Watching the video Xiaolan recorded of Higanbana's comical amnesiac behavior after touching the Dark Resonance Stone, Professor Oak on the phone screen couldn't laugh. His face was serious—Higanbana had a sense of danger and could drop the Dark Resonance Stone in time, but others couldn't!
When Lugia arrived in Atlantis, she flew over many sea areas, presumably scattering a lot of Dark Resonance Stones, many of which must have fallen to the bottom of the sea.
However, a significant portion of the landmass will fall, such as the beaches of these twin islands.
Although no victims of this Dark Resonance Stone have been found so far.
Perhaps the stones were buried too deep, and no one was injured;
However, it is more likely that people have already been harmed, but due to the amnesia properties of the Dark Resonance Stone and its inconspicuous appearance, the Alliance has difficulty discovering the cases.
Realizing this, Professor Oak decisively stated, "I must personally suggest that the League send people to thoroughly investigate these Dark Resonance Stones along the road. This matter must be handled swiftly."
Only two hours had passed.
Professor Oak then called back.
"So fast?" Ze Shu asked in surprise.
But on the screen, Professor Oak frowned, his eyebrows forming an inverted V shape: "Sawaki, at my suggestion, the League has sent people to urgently investigate the route I provided."
"However, the situation is somewhat different."
