Chapter 118 The journey begins with the undercover Flare Team
"Well, I see..." Dr. Buratano muttered to himself as he looked thoughtfully at the letter in his hand.
Raising his head, he looked at Xia Chen's young face, "So, are you going to start a trip in the Carlos area that will last about half a year?"
Xia Chen replied: "Yes, doctor, I am very interested in the Kalos region, which is the birthplace of the fairy attribute."
The doctor seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a while before saying, "If that's the case, I have something important to ask you."
Xia Chen guessed: "It has something to do with last year... No, it has something to do with the outbreak of the fairy aura the year before last?"
Bratano nodded, "Yes, this is the direction I have been researching recently. Although Xerneas is the God of Life, it is said that the breath of elves, no matter how gentle it is, is extremely aggressive to ordinary elves.
sex."
"These energies are like alien species, which react violently with the energy in the elves' original bodies. Some elves are more compatible with this energy, and after being eroded, they gain a new attribute, which is now known as the elf attribute.
"
The doctor raised a question: "But... what about the elves whose attributes have not changed?"
Xia Chen was stunned. According to his knowledge from games and anime in his previous life, Xerneas has the ability to share eternal life.
As for the harm of escaping energy, this question was beyond his knowledge.
Xia Chen hypothesized: "Maybe... there is no harm?"
The doctor sighed with emotion: "There is no harm in being afraid..."
…………
Buratano suddenly asked: "Do you know the elf protection organizations that were active in various regions decades ago?"
Xia Chen subconsciously thought of the classic evil organization in the Hezhong region, Team Plasma, which advocated rescuing all elves from humans.
But this was somewhat inconsistent with the active regions mentioned by the doctor, so he replied instead: "I don't understand."
The doctor said: "That organization not only advocates harmonious coexistence between humans and elves, but also proposes harmonious coexistence between elves and elves. Do you think this is ridiculous? Predation of the weak by the strong is a normal phenomenon in nature."
"This organization later forcibly conducted an experiment and created an elven ecosystem with no disputes, no killing, and no food chain. The final result was that within a year, the number of elves overflowed, the ecosystem's resources were scarce, and the entire system was directly affected.
collapse."
Xia Chen finally understood what the doctor meant. He was not worried that the energy emitted by Xerneas would destroy the lives of the elves.
Rather, they are worried that the pseudo "eternal life" created by too much life energy will make the entire Kalos region become like the experimental ecosystem, facing the risk of collapse.
"Balance exists among all things." He whispered softly.
The doctor's eyes lit up, "Well, that's a very philosophical sentence. It seems you understand what I mean."
Xia Chen shrugged, "But I don't understand what you want me to do."
Buratano patted Xia Chen's shoulder solemnly, "The world has its own way out. Maybe if there is a problem with the ecological balance, nature or some legendary elves will come out to solve it. But at that time, we spent several
It took thousands of years to build a society where humans and elves coexist harmoniously, but we don’t know what it will look like.”
"In the final analysis, the existence of human beings on this planet we live on is only measured in units of ten thousand years. In the eyes of those immortal legendary elves, it may be like a few unimportant guests at home."
"The fate of mankind still has to be in our own hands, and what we scholars can do is to predict possible risks in advance, and then notify the alliance so that they can find ways to avoid them. That's all."
…………
Xia Chen suddenly felt that Dr. Bratano's verbal skills were also quite strong. No wonder he became close friends with Vladari, the boss of Team Flare and Thanos of the Pokémon world...
If I were really a sixteen-year-old boy, I would probably be immersed in the mission of saving Carlos at this moment.
It's a pity that under the skin of the high-spirited and passionate young man, there is a social soul eager to paddle out and fish.
Xia Chen said calmly: "Doctor, you tell me, I will try my best."
Buratano suddenly felt a little frustrated. He was as hot as fire, but the other side was as silent as the ocean...
He touched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile: "It's not a big deal. I would like to ask you to try your best to catch some elves in various areas during your travels. I want to study whether there is any difference in the life energy in the elves in different places."
"In return, in addition to the monthly salary from the Bratano Institute, I will also apply to the alliance for reimbursement of your entire travel expenses, as well as some rare elf resources, or things you need."
It turns out that it's just catching elves... such a simple and convenient thing.
Moreover, after accepting this mission, not only does this trip cost nothing, but it can also make money. No matter how you think about it, you won’t lose money.
Xia Chen, who was very calculating, simply agreed, "No problem, doctor."
After discussing the salary and benefits, Xia Chen said goodbye to Dr. Buratano.
There is a seven-hour time difference between Carlos and Donghuang. Now he just wants to lie on a soft bed with Ibrahimovic and Lalulas in his arms and have a good sleep to regain his energy and prepare to officially start his trip to Carlos.
After stopping a passing taxi, Xia Chen left the institute.
What he didn't notice was that in a coffee shop opposite the research institute, a man wearing orange clothes and orange pants and a pair of orange sunglasses quietly pressed the communicator in his ear.
"The target person has boarded a taxi with license plate number xxx, please continue to pay attention."
…………
I slept until I woke up naturally, and it was already eight o'clock.
But in Miare, a city that never sleeps, the moment when the neon lights begin to wake up is when the real excitement of life begins.
As the human being with the worst physique, Xia Chen spent the longest time adjusting his work and rest time.
In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows that offer an unobstructed view of the night view of Miare, Menas in the aquarium is admiring the night view of this unfamiliar area.
On the soft and luxurious carpet, Ibrahimovic and Lalu Lasi practiced physical skills to pass the time while waiting for Xia Chen to get up.
Xia Chen yawned, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and sat on a chair, looking out the window at the very close prism tower shining with soft lights in a daze.
Of course, the price of the hotel next to the famous landmark building in Miare is not cheap, but Dr. Bratano said that the travel expenses are reimbursed, and the money of the Carlos Alliance is not wasted.
Before you officially start traveling, you should enjoy a little more of the sugar-coated bullets of human civilization.
After a few days, I guess I spent most of the time sleeping in the open with the sky and quilt as my bed.
After admiring the night view full of money, Xia Chen stood up.
After taking back Menas in the aquarium, picking up Eevee and Menas on the carpet with one hand, Xia Chen walked out of the room.
"Let's go and eat."
…………
Although the name of the hotel Xia Chen stayed at was funny, it was called Regent Hotel.
But whether it's facilities, services, or catering, this is the best hotel Xia Chen has ever experienced.
Although he had only lived in a three-digit apartment before...
Xia Chen was enjoying the special delicacies of the Kalos region with his three elves in the hotel restaurant, but Ibrahimovic calmly scratched his thigh with a small flesh pad.
Xia Chen understood immediately and glanced at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision.
When he spotted the conspicuous orange figure in the corner, he understood everything.
He is being targeted by Team Flare!
Tsk...
Xia Chen smacked his tongue slightly. He was targeted by the local evil organization when he first came to Carlos. What kind of treatment as a protagonist?
As for why he was targeted so quickly, Xia Chen had some idea.
The boss of Team Flare, Fralida, has a close relationship with Dr. Bratano, and in the game, he shows great interest in the trainer entrusted by the doctor, that is, the protagonist.
So now you start monitoring yourself?
Why does this little Thanos look a bit like a yandere...
Xia Chen scratched Ibrahimovic to indicate that he had discovered the watcher, and then thought about countermeasures while eating.
No matter what Frillida's purpose was, Xia Chen didn't like the feeling of being monitored.
I took the elves out of the city, looked at the scenery, and sang a song, when suddenly I was followed by Team Flare!
Thinking about this kind of thing makes you feel very bad.
Therefore, a trip without Team Flare is a good trip.
Xia Chen decided to find a way to get rid of these flies before setting off.
But how to rush... seems to be a question worth pondering.
If you want to compete with an evil organization that can infiltrate an entire regional alliance, do you have the strength?
…………
"Buyi!"
Ibrahimovic's alert voice woke up Xia Chen, who was deep in thought. He looked up and saw a tall man with a fiery red lion's head walking towards him.
Xia Chen was shocked, it was Vladali!
Although before setting off, he had imagined that he might meet this person on this trip, he never expected that the two of them would meet on just the first day.
This is a bit unusual, maybe... it's the task that the doctor entrusted to youshen
If I had known better, I wouldn't have come to see Dr. Buratano...
Xia Chen complained silently.
However, when the situation is still calm at the moment, Fradali's superficial identity is still a famous scientist and philanthropist who has developed a "holographic image communicator", and he cannot let his superficial skills show his flaws.
"Can I sit here?" Vladali stopped next to the table where Xia Chen was sitting and asked with a smile.
"Of course, Mr. Fradali." Xia Chen did not hide the fact that he knew him.
As expected, the boss of Team Flare showed surprise, "You know me?"
Xia Chen shrugged, "The holographic image communicator you released last year became popular all over the world. How could I not know about it?"
To a certain extent, it’s okay to say that he is the Steve Jobs of the Pokémon world.
Hmm... Thanos and Jobs in the Pokémon world are really a wonderful combination.
Fradali laughed and said: "I'm glad that you like the products developed by our research institute so much. Mr. Xia Chen, the second evolutionary pathway of Menas that you discovered not long ago also made a great contribution to the world!"
"With young people like you, the world will become better and better."
It’s started! It’s started!
Xia Chen didn't care about his business bragging, but was sensitive to the words "contribution" and "beauty".
Is he trying to win over himself?
…………
The reason why Xia Chen keeps calling him Thanos of the Pokémon world is because this guy's purpose is to create a beautiful world.
Of course, if he wanted to use normal means to create, he would be a saint rather than a villain.
The way he wants to achieve this goal is to... eliminate those "people who only want endless demands, quarrels, greed, and worthlessness" in this world.
It feels a bit like being sympathetic to Thanos.
Xia Chen wasn't surprised that he attracted her. You can't destroy the world by just one person, right?
A handsome young man with unlimited potential, such as himself, who has cultivated two talents and has unlimited potential, would make even the villain's heart flutter after seeing him.
Hey, wait a minute, Fradali wants to win over him...
If he takes advantage of the situation and joins Team Flare, will he not have to endure their tracking and surveillance?
Thinking further, Xia Chen found that being an undercover member of Team Flare had many benefits.
First of all, if you want to get rid of Team Flare's surveillance, you must conflict with them.
With my current strength, I basically can't do it if the other party randomly sends cadres to me.
On the contrary, if Team Flare is undercover, not only will he not be targeted, Team Flare can also become his protective umbrella!
As an evil organization, Team Flare is not like the gangsters like the Skeleton Team in Alola who are notorious for their evil deeds.
It won't hinder your travel plans to Carlos at all.
The most important thing is that as an undercover agent, he has no one to be loyal to.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This ensures your absolute safety... There is no little tail for others to catch!
Wait until you return to Donghuang in half a year, Team Flare?
Who are you sending it to?
Of course, as a thoughtful and meticulous Gou Sheng, Xia Chen also considered the worst case scenario——
Unfortunately, he was involved in the final weapons battle. As a villain, how could he not be defeated by the protagonist of justice?
It’s simple, just learn from Ai Lan!
I am just a lost little lamb who was influenced by bad people and went astray. As long as you talk a few words, I will find my way back!
In short, no matter how you look at it, Undercover Flare Team is a strategy that has all the benefits and no harm, with extremely low risks and extremely high returns.
Just add it and you’re done!
Of course, how to add it is also a technical task.
It's best to make Fradali believe that he was attracted by his strong personal charm...
…………
"Mr. Xia Chen?" Fradali's voice woke up Xia Chen who was in deep thought.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Xia Chen looked embarrassed and shy.
"Because Mr. Fradali, you have always been my idol, and I was a little embarrassed to be praised by you just now..."
The boy's tone was natural and there was no trace of acting, but it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of a certain little Eevee.
Deliberately lowering her sense of presence, she nestled in Xia Chen's arms, her big black eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking about how to cooperate with her trainer's mischief.
Over there, Fradali raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Really?"
Xia Chen nodded and said: "Whether it is your philanthropic character or your achievements in inventing the holographic image communicator, they are worthy of my admiration. I heard that you also used a large part of the profits of the institute for charity, right?
"
After listening to Xia Chen recounting his deeds in detail, most of Fradali's suspicions disappeared.
"Buyi!"
The voice coming from Xia Chen's arms attracted Vladali's attention again.
He looked down and saw this adorable little guy struggling to get out of Xia Chen's arms, and came to him on its soft little feet, rubbing against him affectionately.
The long ears that are as smart as a rabbit are moving and looking very cute.
Vladali is a kind and loving person, but he just chooses to vent his evil on those humans who have disappointed him.
This child is so affectionate to a stranger, so her trainer must always talk about her, right?
A tough guy can also have tenderness. Fradali was immediately enchanted by the cute Ibrahimovic's actions, and there was no trace of doubt in his heart.
Such a sincere young man, such a lovely Ibrahimovic.
If you could lie to me, I would eat the ultimate weapon on the spot!
He looked softly at Xia Chen, who was smiling shyly. Such a good young man, such a great young talent, our Team Flare must not miss it!
What happened next was a matter of course. Fradali and Xia Chen met late at night and talked long and late at night in the restaurant.
In the end, thanks to Fradali's strong personal charm and impassioned speech, Xia Chen agreed to join Team Flare as a civilian with the goal of "making the world a better place."
Of course, Fradali has not revealed to Xia Chen that their plan is to find the ultimate weapon to eliminate some humans.
As a newbie, you still need to take things step by step, and when he gets stuck deeper and deeper in Team Flare and can't get out, you can coerce him into joining this plan.
Fradali was feeling complacent in his heart because of the information gap between himself and Xia Chen, but given the brains of the two Metagross, he could not have imagined that Xia Chen and Ibrahimovic had already seen through his underwear.
The most amazing thing is that the sources of information for one person and one elf are through time travel and rebirth respectively...
