Not a trainer this time

Late at night, in the Johto area, on the rooftop of Silver Company.

Sakaki sat on the sofa, quietly thinking about the recent events in his mind.

Hezhong area... Meowth and Kojiro had gone to Hezhong area not long ago to secretly implement the Tempest Plan.

The ultimate target of that plan is the three legendary Pokémon Tornado, Thundercloud, and Earthcloud in the Unova region.

As long as they can be controlled, Team Rocket can harness the power of all three of them to conquer the Unova region.

But the premise of all this is that the plan can be successful.

Sakaki gently stroked the shiny fur of the cat boss with his rough hands, and lay down casually on the couch of the chairman of Silver Company.

A year ago, Sakaki bought most of the company's shares through a secret operation, becoming the company's largest shareholder in one fell swoop. Now, it can be said that most of Silver's companies are already under the control of the Rockets.

During this period of time, Sakaki has been restraining his subordinates' behavior because he is keenly aware that times have changed, and the past behavior of randomly snatching and stealing Pokémon from trainers is no longer suitable for the current Team Rocket.

Now, Sakaki is facing a problem.

Whether the Rockets are going to start a transformation, and the future of the Rockets.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!"

There was a regular knock on the door.

"Come in!" Sakaki said without raising his head, sitting motionless on the sofa.

The door was pushed open, and the real bird came in from the outside.

"Report! The thing you sent me to investigate last time has come to fruition!"

Hearing this, Sakaki suddenly became interested: "Oh?"

Shintori stepped forward and placed a stack of information on the table in front of Sakaki.

"Two years ago, Giratina appeared in the Sinnoh region. I intercepted the surveillance video on the street at that time and found traces of a man in it."

As Shintori spoke, he inserted the videotape into the machine, and then, a man's figure appeared in a blurry picture.

Although it was blurry, Sakaki felt that the other party was somewhat familiar. He seemed to have seen the other party somewhere...

"I went to the Padia region some time ago. I investigated the Lei Guan King in Ziqin Town, where King Lei Guan culture is popular. I learned that the Pokémon was originally brought by a rancher named Naoki. Come on, there must be a connection between him and King Lei Guan," Zhen Niao said.

Naoki? Hearing this name, a figure immediately appeared in Sakaki's mind.

At that dinner in the Hezhong area two years ago, a trainer named Naoki challenged the champion Yuryuwatari and even defeated him!

Is it him?

"Continue." Sakaki said.

"Yes!" Zhenbi continued to report his findings: "Two years ago, Groudon and Kyogre left the Hoenn region and arrived in the sea near the Padia region. After that, they disappeared. , This incident attracted a lot of attention at the time.”

"In addition, Pokémon such as Motorized Lizard are unique to the Padia region. Therefore, there is a high probability that that person is a Padea."

"And there happens to be a person there who is related to the above events." Shintori said: "According to speculation, the probability that the rancher named Naoki is Motorcycle Mask is 87%!"

"It's really him." Sakaki felt a little complicated inside.

"What should we do?" Zhenniao couldn't help but ask, observing the boss's expression.

Sakaki thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Don't disturb the other party, and don't make enemies with the other party. If possible, make friends with the other party as much as possible."

The real bird was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes!"

After the real bird left, Sakaki sat on the sofa and pondered to himself.

It is still necessary to make friends with such talents.

He used his Rotom phone to search the Internet for the names of Zhi Shu and Zhi Shu Ranch, and a link to a store called "Shu's Home" quickly popped up on the web page.

Sakaki entered the shop. He originally just wanted to explore the other person's personality, but when he saw clearly what was sold in the shop, he was stunned.

"Life Goat Milk can restore a Pokémon's physical strength and energy in an instant. As long as the Pokémon does not lose consciousness, no matter how severe the injury is, it can be healed..."

Looking at the description above, Sakaki frowned. As far as he knew, even the best wound medicine on the market did not have this effect.

And looking at the comments from those buyers, the effect of this unscientific thing is actually real?

So magical?

If it is really that magical, then its importance is incredible!

If Team Rocket had such a thing... it would definitely be of great help to them in conquering the Unova region!

Thinking of this, Sakaki immediately clicked to place an order, but the next second, he received a prompt: Delivery service is not supported in your area!

Sakaki was slightly startled.

After some careful research, he realized what was going on.

Shu's family currently only unlocks delivery services in the Hoenn and Sinnoh regions. As for other regions, it is because there are still evil organizations and Pokémon hunters there.

And the evil organizations in the Kanto and Johto areas...are you referring to Team Rocket, right?

Sakaki was silent.

He imagined what it would be like if those delivery guys flew to Kanto and Johto areas to deliver goods.

At that time, the Rockets' men will definitely pretend to be customers to place orders, and then take the opportunity to capture Dragonite and present those rare Dragonites to him.

Sakaki: "..."

At this moment, Sakaki suddenly had an idea in his mind, and he thought of an opportunity to make friends with the other party!

His current identity is not only the boss of the Rockets, but also a well-known young entrepreneur on the surface.

That's right, he can contact the other party as a young entrepreneur and discuss with the other party about the opening of Dragonite Express in Kanto and Johto.

And secretly, he can guarantee that Dragonite will not be harmed or kidnapped in the Kanto and Johto regions as the boss of the Rockets.

Not only that, he can also take this opportunity to make friends with the other party.

Thinking of this, Sakaki immediately contacted his secretary Manori.

"Book me a flight to the Padiya region!"

*

The next morning, as Naoki expected, the students of Padiya Academy came over one after another after hearing that Naoki Ranch had added a trial suitable for newcomers to challenge.

"Mr. Naoki, I'm here to challenge the trial!"

"I came first! I want to challenge first!"

"It's obviously me!"

"..."

Looking at the huge group of new trainers in front of him, Naoki seemed to see a huge wave of experience coming in.

A kind smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he said to everyone:

"Don't worry, line up and come one by one."

"The name of this trial is the Brave Trial. The content of the trial is to fight with my Fairy Eevee. If you win the battle, you can get my special pass badge and a tree fruit gift pack." Naoki said with a smile.

Naoki Ranch's pass badge?

Hearing this, the trainers in front of him suddenly became excited. This kind of thing, even those powerful seniors have never obtained it!

If they pass the Brave Trial and get the badge of Naoki Ranch, they will definitely receive a lot of envious eyes when they return to the academy. Just thinking about it makes me excited!

"The Hero Trial? Does it mean that you can become a hero if you defeat this Sylveon?" A group of trainers cast their eyes on the Sylveon next to Naoki.

However, Naoki did not answer directly, but just smiled and said something meaningful.

"The so-called hero is not limited to strength and name. Even if the current strength is very weak, one day, the hero will grow up and become a truly powerful existence."

The eyes of the group of teenage boys and girls lit up when they heard this.

Is Mr. Naoki hinting at them?

Yes, it must be like this!

Although their current strength is very weak, one day, they will become powerful champion-level trainers!

The boys suddenly became excited.

It seems that the rumors about him in the academy are true.

According to legend, Mr. Naoki is a retired champion-level trainer. In order to help passing trainers improve their strength and temper their will, he opened a trial in his ranch to train those excellent trainers.

Mr. Naoki is such a good person!

A great predecessor!

"Then I'll take the first challenge, Mr. Naoki, we're coming!"

A boy stepped forward and threw his Poké Ball with high morale.

A white light flashed, and a long-winged gull appeared on the battlefield.

Naoki's eyes were on the long-winged gull, which looked very immature, as if it had just been captured.

It really is a veritable rookie trainer!

The battle officially began, and the long-winged gull used a water gun on Sylveon, but Sylveon dodged it skillfully.

Although Sylveon, who grew up drinking life goat milk, eating energy cubes, and bathing in natural energy, has not received much special training, its excellent physical fitness is not something these novice Pokémon can fight against.

Under Naoki's command, Sylveon used the combination of Fairy Wind + Sand Throwing to create a sandstorm, blocking the sight of the long-winged gull.

Then, a high-speed star made the long-winged gull lose its combat ability.

Then, it was the second trainer... the third trainer... the fourth trainer...

When all the trainers were received, it was already noon.

In the middle, they lost two games and won eight games.

Although the blessing of life goat milk can timely consume the energy and physical strength of Sylveon, the long-term continuous battles made its spirit very tired.

"I'm very sorry, my Pokémon is a little tired, let's stop here today!" Looking at the trainer in front of him, Naoki looked apologetic.

Seeing this, the boys and girls waved their hands quickly: "It's okay, Mr. Naoki, take Sylveon to rest!"

--Mr. Naoki is really a good man! He and Sylveon accompanied them for special training for a whole morning regardless of fatigue!

It's so touching. When they become powerful trainers, they should also guide the younger generation like Naoki and help them with special training!

The challengers went back one after another. Naoki smiled and looked at Sylveon beside him and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Eevee!"

Sylveon felt that it was making rapid progress. After a morning of actual combat, it had learned a lot. Although it was mentally exhausted, its body was full.

This feeling... it was getting stronger!

"That's no problem. Fight ten games a day, a hundred games in ten days, that's 3,650 games a year. Combined with my special cooking, you will definitely become a powerful Pokémon. "Zhi Shu said: "Kuailong also used this method to practice."

Hearing this, Fairy Ibrahimovic was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

"Buyi!"

Not far away, his partner Ibrahimovic, who was leisurely enjoying the sunshine among the flowers, yawned lazily.

Become stronger quickly, and it will be able to borrow stronger power when the time comes!

At noon, Qishu returned to the ranch. After lunch, he rested at home for a while and then went to work again.

After sending Qishu away, Zhishu took Guluton and Motorized Lizard to the farmland, preparing to pick the crops that the goats had ripened yesterday.

During the process, Naoki told Guluton and Motorized Lizard to tell him immediately if they found anything wrong, or if they found crops that looked different from other similar crops.

Because those are most likely mutated crops.

As a result, the Motorized Lizard actually discovered a particularly large potato.

"Gah!" Motorized Lizard quickly informed Naoki.

Naoki ran over and took a look, and the information about that special crop came to his mind.

[Potato Mine: A special crop that will produce a powerful explosion when stimulated. The effect is comparable to the explosion of ordinary moves. It cannot be used to make food. 】

Gullton, who heard the noise, also ran over. After seeing the appearance of the potato clearly, he was immediately startled and shouted: "Ah, geez!"

"Motor Lizard, get out of there quickly, don't touch that thing!" Naoki shouted loudly.

The Motorcycle Lizard looked confused: "Gah?"

But the next second, the potato mine in front of it burst into dazzling white light.

"boom!"

Naoki only felt a strong push pushing him away. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the faces of Motorized Lizard and Gulledon were blackened by the explosion.

Naoki: "..." Fortunately, they are all super newbies.

Therefore, Leden looked at the Motorized Lizard angrily: "Ah, geez!"

The Motorcycle Lizard expressed his grievance: "Aww..."

Gu Luton's mind turned around, and he suddenly remembered that he had done such stupid things before, so it would be okay.

"Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Let me see if you are injured."

Zhi Shu stepped forward to check the condition of the two Pokémon, and was relieved when he found that neither of them was seriously injured.

The motorcycle lizard only had a few scratches on its body, so Naoki touched its head and said, "Just drink a bottle of Life Goat Milk and it'll be fine."

The motorcycle lizard responded obediently: "Gah oo~"

It trotted all the way back to the living room, not only getting a bottle of Life Goat Milk for itself, but also getting a bottle of Life Goat Milk for Naoki, because Naoki was also hit by the bomb.

As for Gulton... The Motorized Lizard felt aggrieved when he thought of how Gulton had just scolded him loudly, so he decided not to give it to him.

Gu Ledun, who had witnessed everything: "..."

It rolled its eyes and didn't care. After all, it had done these little tricks before.

Naoki was drinking Life Goat milk while sitting on the grass and interacting with the Motorized Lizard.

At this moment, a man wearing a suit, with a cropped haircut, and an elite appearance walked into the ranch.

Naoki's eyes made contact with the other party inadvertently, and the next second, he froze on the spot.

Sakaki looked at each other, feeling extremely shocked.

If they hadn't known about it in advance, who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary rancher could be such a powerful trainer?

King Lei Guan, Giratina, Groudon, Rayquaza, Ho-Oh, Kyogre...

There are so many legendary Pokémon, even he can't help but say that they are so terrifying.

Sure enough, people should not be judged by their appearance!

The Rockets must not antagonize each other, because with the opponent's strength, just one person can sweep the entire Rockets team.

Thinking of this, Sakaki opened the corner of his mouth, showed a smile on his face, and greeted the other party.

"Hello, is this Naoki Ranch? I'm Sakaki from Silver Company, and I want to come here to discuss with you the opening of Kuailong delivery services in Kanto and Johto areas."
