Chapter 539: Team Rocket suddenly appears, is the target Mewtwo?
Xia Chen carefully studied the history of the Donghuang region of this world.
Like that world, before the invention of the Poké Ball, this land also had a history of feudal dynasty that lasted for more than two thousand years.
With the development of technology, of course, the most important thing is the invention of the Poké Ball.
Productivity was liberated by leaps and bounds, and then, like other regions, Donghuang also entered the era of alliance.
Huaijing City, where Xia Chen came, was a famous ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and a famous cultural city during the Donghuang feudal era.
Xia Chen had also traveled to such a city in his previous life, but in the context of the elf world, the city's appearance was completely different.
For example, there is a particularly spectacular black statue of Rayquaza in the imperial mausoleum. It is said that this was a god worshiped by the emperor of the feudal dynasty hundreds of years ago to pray for good weather in the coming year.
Xia Chen recalled that the Rayquaza in Fengyuan had mentioned that the different-colored Rayquaza in the airspace of Donghuang area was fiercely criticized. This was probably the reason for the severe drought in the last years of this dynasty.
When visiting this statue, Gu Lerton was quite envious of this majestic statue. It doesn't matter whether it is big or small. The main reason is that countless tourists come here to pay their respects every day. This feeling can satisfy Gu Lerton's vanity.
Xia Chen kept it in mind and secretly decided to get one for it when he went back. There are other legendary elves, and our hometown of Luton can’t miss it!
As a famous big city in the south of Donghuang, Huaijing City also has a gym, the rock-type Xuanwu Gym.
Xia Chen cleared it by the way when he visited Xuanwu Lake. Considering that it was of the rock type, Xia Chen sent out the Vulcan Moth.
Xia Chen was not disappointed. With his attributes restrained, Vulcan Moth managed to complete one through three.
Although the challenge was easy and enjoyable, Xia Chen's challenge to the Xuanwu Gym became quite a bit of news.
Because this means that he has to collect gym badges and challenge the Donghuang Conference!
To say that this matter is completely unexpected is not necessarily true. For an outstanding young trainer of 18 years old, it is reasonable for an outstanding young trainer to challenge the Alliance Conference, right?
How reasonable!
What eighteen-year-old guy brought two legendary elves to the convention!
Fried fish isn’t fried like this, right?
Just when the melon-eating crowd thought that the champion of this year had been determined, even more explosive news came. Gyms across Donghuang suddenly refreshed some big guys who should not have appeared here.
Daigo, Mikri, Dakdo, and even the king of Sinnoh, Daye!
As familiar faces spread to the Internet in the form of photos, Donghuang's trainer became numb.
Are you going to compete against these people this year?
No, if Xia Chen wants to participate in this competition, you must come with him?
Obviously, Xia Chen's participation instantly increased the appeal of the Donghuang Conference, and at the same time, the competitiveness became increasingly fierce.
These trainers who frequently reach the gym or even the king level will inevitably block a large number of trainers who are not up to standard from the main competition.
This year's Donghuang Conference is definitely the most valuable among all previous conferences in the region.
Although the contestants cried for their fathers and mothers, those who did not plan to participate or were not qualified to participate were extremely happy.
For them, the more exciting the game, the better.
Undoubtedly, with so many top trainers participating in the Donghuang Conference, it will definitely become a gluttonous feast for elf battle enthusiasts at the end of the year.
…………
Xia Chen didn't know about the public opinion that was gradually brewing on the Internet. After challenging the gym, he left Huaijing City. To be precise, he left the urban area.
Although there are many fun things in the city, the elf world is still more interesting in the wild where there are a large number of wild elves.
The waterways around Huaijing City are developed and are a paradise for water elves. Xia Chen even saw rare elves such as mini dragons.
Although he has no interest in subduing elves recently, this little guy seems to like sticky dragons very much, and he can't get out of the big steel shell behind her tail.
Xia Chen had no choice but to passively tame the mini dragon, and planned to go back and raise it on Yuanling Island to enrich the diversity of the island's elf ecology.
Along the Huaijiang River to the west, the scenery and vegetation gradually change, and there are more mountains in the field of vision.
In the second week of September, Xia Chen came to Changxia City, which is close to the central part of the Donghuang region. There are roads extending in all directions and it is the road transportation hub of the Donghuang region.
The Changxia Gym located in the city center is a super-type gym, and Xia Chen still got the badge without any difficulty.
But there was one thing that concerned him a little.
He seemed to see a few familiar people...
"Are those two people just now Ma Zhishi and Ah Ju?"
Xia Chen recalled the faces that looked at each other in the crowd, and was a little unsure.
A muscular and short-haired man with a ferocious expression, and a thin, long-haired man with a gloomy temperament. If they were separated alone, he would not be so sensitive.
But when they were put together, Xia Chen naturally thought of those two senior officials of the Rockets.
After walking to a restaurant and sitting down, Xia Chen searched for the photos of the two people on the Kodak Encyclopedia. After comparing them, he immediately recognized them. The two just now were Ma Zhishi and Aju.
Moreover, information on the Internet also shows that Ma Zhishi and Ah Ju left the gym they guarded three months ago.
This means that they may have been in Donghuang for three months.
What have they been doing in Donghuang for so long?
Xia Chen frowned slightly and began to think in his mind.
I wouldn't believe it if I said it was a trip, so the most likely possibility is that he was on a business trip for the Rockets.
But what are the Rockets doing here...
Although the influence of this underground dark organization started in Kanto has spread to the neighboring Johto area, their hands are not long enough to reach Donghuang.
There must be something fishy about this matter.
Xia Chen estimated that Sakaki didn't know that he already knew the other identities of Ma Zhishi and A'jue under the gym leaders, otherwise they would not have passed him by so blatantly, and even made eye contact.
I can only say that the information about my past life is not useful in Galarpadia. Facing guys like Sakaki, I can see through my underwear.
But no matter what, Xia Chen didn't want these guys to make trouble in Donghuang, so he decided to pay attention to their movements.
However, his good trip was disrupted by these guys again, Xia Chen sighed.
What bad luck.
…………
After careful observation, Xia Chen discovered many Team Rocket members in this city.
After thinking about it, he decided to observe the movements of these people first and wait for opportunities to act.
The method is very simple, let Sai Fuhao separate a gold coin from his body and put it on them as a locator, so that he can locate the Rockets members through Sai Fuhao.
These ordinary members of Team Rocket were not very vigilant. Xia Chen used his super power to control three gold coins and distribute them to three people.
During the day, the three people's positions were not unusual, but when it passed eleven o'clock in the evening, the three people gathered together.
Apparently, Team Rocket's shady operation began at night.
The only pity is that Sai Fuhao's gold coins can only be located, not monitored. Xia Chen has no way of knowing what the Rockets' target is for the time being.
Because the positioning location for several days in a row was a hotel on the outskirts of Changxia City, and there was no other movement all night, Xia Chen did not alert the enemy for the time being, and left Changxia City temporarily to continue his journey of collecting badges.
He couldn't stay in Changxia City for long.
Thinking about it, he knew that Sakaki guy must be monitoring his movements. If he had been waiting here, Team Rocket must know his intentions.
The original plan may change.
Anyway, Gu Ledun is here, and Ma Zhishi and the others will be able to get there quickly if there is any movement. It doesn't matter whether they are close or far.
I don’t know if the Rockets are too cautious, or if they are really waiting for a good opportunity to take action.
It was not until more than half a month later that Xia Chen almost arrived in the northwest of Donghuang area far away from Changxia City that their trajectory finally changed.
The three Team Rocket members arrived at Tiannan City in the southwest region of Donghuang from Changxia City at extremely fast speeds.
Xia Chen quickly challenged the local gym and showed up. After returning to the hotel, he immediately took the Gullton and rushed to the place where the Saifuhao gold coins were locked.
Flying at full speed, Gulerton quickly took Xia Chen to the vicinity of Tiannan City.
Because the location is relatively south, the climate here is very hot, and the vegetation is much lusher than in the north. It seems like a place where it is easy to hide something.
Could it be the local legendary elves in the Donghuang area?
Xia Chen wondered in his mind.
Although the Donghuang region does not exist in the nine generations of previous Pokémon games, who can guarantee that there are no legendary spirits in this ancient and vast land.
It would be better to say that it is strange that there is none.
So, if it exists, will it be a legendary spirit that exists in the game, or one that even I have never heard of?
Xia Chen was both expecting and curious.
…………
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Xia Chen stopped ten kilometers away from the Rockets.
It's foolish to make a decision and then act. At this moment, they don't even know what they are going to do. It's really stupid to act so recklessly.
After setting up camp on the spot, Xia Chen asked Gulledon if he had sensed the aura of the legendary elves.
Therefore, Luton's answer is no.
Of course, this does not mean that there must be no legendary elves here, it may also be that the breath is hidden by it.
If Team Rocket is tracking the legendary elf, the latter is equally possible, or even more likely.
From the current point of view, the best plan is to hide it in the dark. It would be better to wait until the Rockets' goal is truly revealed before taking action on their own.
The waiting time was not long, it was night, and the Rockets started taking action in full swing.
The three people marked by Sai Fuhao's gold coins are irregularly distributed throughout the forest, which also confirms Xia Chen's conjecture just now——
These guys are looking for something.
Xia Chenxianbu was worried. As long as they were still scattered, it meant that the things had not been found.
If they find it, the three of them should gather together to round up the thing that they don't know what it is yet.
Xia Chen suddenly regretted not letting Sai Fuhao scatter a few more gold coins and have a few more people locate him, which would make it easier for him to track the location in a while.
Fortunately, this little foreshadowing did not lead to mistakes. After a night of hunting, the three of them gathered together when the sky was about to turn white.
Maybe the search ended tonight and nothing was found, or maybe the target has discovered that they are implementing the arrest plan.
Xia Chen couldn't bet that it would be the former, so he decided to attack.
Take back all the other elves, and only let Deoxys carry you there with his hidden aura.
In this regard, Deoxys, the virus Pokémon from the universe, is the most professional.
Soon, he arrived at the final gathering place of Team Rocket and hid in the trees not far from them, spying on Team Rocket's movements.
…………
In front of a dark and deep cave, stood a phalanx composed of dozens of humans and hundreds of elves.
Ma Zhishi and Ah Ju stood at the front of the team, and Na Zi, one of the three cadres, was also in the queue.
The astonishingly powerful Elf Legion behind them has a luxurious lineup. Judging from the energy intensity and aura perception, they are absolute elites at the gym level at the beginning, and they have a full sense of oppression.
The leaders are the Lightning Bird and the Flame Bird, two of the three sacred birds!
It is enough to show how seriously Team Rocket takes this operation.
Except for Sakaki, everyone who could come came.
Speaking of which, Zapdos is really a model worker. At the beginning of the year, he accompanied Sakaki in Galar to summon the Infinite Duna.
A few months ago, I went to Kalos as a foreign aid to activate the final weapon, and now I came to Donghuang to cause trouble...
I don’t know what these stupid birds are following Sakaki for.
At this moment, the three leaders of Team Rocket's elite legion were talking, seemingly discussing some strategy.
The distance was too far for human ears to hear the content clearly, but Xia Chen wanted to know.
He frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked: "Deoxys, is there any way you can know the content of their chat?"
The answer is short and powerful, "Yes."
Then, Xia Chen got a glimpse of the content of the plan from Deoxys's narration.
"Are you sure, it's in this hole?...This is what the big man said."
The big man should refer to Ma Zhishi.
After a pause, Deoxys continued: "There can be no mistake. The locator on it was placed in the body when it was created... This is what the woman with long black hair said."
create?
Xia Chen was stunned.
It can't be...it's that elf, right?
Deoxys's narration continued, "Huh, after tracking it for more than two months and playing hide-and-seek with it for so long, I was finally able to close the net... That's what the man with the face covered said."
"Tsk, tsk, this guy is too difficult to deal with. This is because we have a way to control it, so it has been able to escape for so long."
"But the more it is like this, the more it shows how powerful it is and that our long wait will not be in vain."
"By the way, things are ready. Don't let anything slip at the critical moment."
"Well, the latest developed sixth-generation super elf ball, code name, master ball!"
Master ball!
Xia Chen, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. By now, everything was clear——
The elf that Team Rocket wants to capture even at the cost of going to Donghuang is Mewtwo!
