Are we still talking or not? Weren't you going to tell him how to become stronger?
Fladeli glanced at Ailan before turning his head away. Clearly, he had no more patience to deal with this brat at the moment.
Ailan: "???"
It was Giovanni who said, "Brat, you have no business here anymore."
"Children should not interrupt when adults are speaking," Red Flame Pine and Archie showed menacing expressions, scaring Ailan so much that he took several steps back before sitting down on the floor with a thump.
A collection of villains.
Afterward, Fladeli left with the Rainbow Rocket Team.
After a series of changing expressions, Fire King Paqila also boarded the Flare Team's helicopter and left the place.
All that remained were Ailan and the Fire Dinosaur, who had just been defeated. No one to pity them, love them, or to cajole and lavish resources upon them.
...
...
Alamos Town.
At this moment, Fang Yuan was listening to the report on the operation to wipe out the Flare Team.
Since he had orchestrated this event, he had told Mewtwo to update him after it was finished.
The person responsible for informing Fang Yuan was none other than Giovanni's secretary, Shinjo.
"So, the Flare Team won't be stirring up any more trouble?"
After hearing the report, Fang Yuan felt relieved.
He hadn't even done anything yet and the Flare Team was already gone.
Is this what it feels like to be the mastermind behind the scenes? Love it.
Now that the Flare Team is out of the picture, no more complications should arise, right?
After all, the ultimate weapon is formidable; it can unleash Legendary Power and destroy an entire region with ease. If not handled properly, Fang Yuan really feared a "nuclear bomb" might drop on his head while strolling in the Pokémon World.
"Yes, that is the situation," Shinjo said, taking a deep breath, her voice tense as she looked at the man on the screen who had decimated the Rocket Team.
"Do you have any further instructions?"
"Hmm…" Fang Yuan pondered and said, "Although the main task is complete, there are too many imperfections in your operation this time."
Shinjo: "Ah?"
"For example, Fire King Carlos, he was right there, wasn't he?"
Shinjo's expression stiffened. Was this criticism for not disposing of witnesses? But in all fairness, the Flare Team hadn't done anything too outrageous, and even if Paqila was a Flare Team executive, it wouldn't be right to act against her… After all, she is still a current King.
Having tea with Fladeli was already the limit.
"I just checked, her championship rank is 63rd. It's entirely possible to 'invite' her to play a few championship games with me."
Shinjo: "…"
"I apologize, I didn't consider that. It was my negligence."
"And about that Ailan…" Fang Yuan said.
"Is there a problem with the boy?"
"I think he's not too bright. He probably should have been taken and sent back to Dr. Blattano's side; otherwise, he could easily be abducted by someone and do something foolish."
Shinjo: "…"
Who could follow your line of thinking?!!!
If it weren't for the fact that Fang Yuan was her superior, she was almost ready to curse him out.
What on earth is all this?
"Forget it, let it be," Fang Yuan waved it off.
After being brainwashed by Fladeli, that simpleton kid Ailan keeps clamoring about reaching the pinnacle of strength with Charizard. The kid is deeply deluded.
But it looks like he hasn't hooked up with Fladeli at this time.
Which means he hasn't been swayed by Fladeli to do his bidding yet.
Therefore, he hasn't acquired the Charizard Super Stone.
Well, that eliminates the Water-type Super Charizard. In a way, I've indirectly saved a boy who should have had a cheerful and innocent life. Yes, a deed of merit.
Without this life-changing moment, Ailan will probably continue to be Dr. Blattano's assistant. That's the proper track for a decent person's life.
Soon, the two ended their conversation.
The Rocket Team, Magma Team, Water Fleet, Galaxy Team, Plasma Team, and Flare Team have almost been wiped out and are already or soon to be recruited by the Rainbow Rocket Team.
Fang Yuan thought about it and felt he hadn't left out any organizations. Well, Zao Bo from the Ether Foundation can be ignored.
"Damn, I arrived too early. I still don't know which organization is the villain in the Galar Region."
Fang Yuan sighed. It didn't matter; he'd leave it to President Loz to deal with.
After all, with the diligent Trainer Danti there, and the overall strength of their region being strong, they likely wouldn't encounter any problems.
However, that being said, the upcoming championship elimination rounds were to be held in Galar; he could have Mewtwo investigate a little by then.
Although President Loz of the Galar League had only given him a Gigantic Armlet, Fang Yuan wouldn't hold a grudge for the modest welcome gift. He would do his best to identify and resolve the villain in the Galar Region.
Ah, if only President Loz and Danti knew, they'd surely be grateful to him.
Fang Yuan opened the championship APP. Currently, his rank was 10th.
There's another Kukui right ahead of him…
"Huh,"
Fang Yuan took a look at the championship rankings and surprisingly noted that Dr. Kukui, who had previously been 9th, had now advanced to 8th, temporarily replacing Galar's Qibana as one of the Eight Masters.
Now, Fang Yuan was just a few points short of becoming one of the Eight Masters and gaining the eligibility to participate in the championship elimination rounds.
Originally, Fang Yuan planned to boost his ranking to the top 8 by scoring points off Caitlin, or by directly challenging Dr. Kukui to earn a substantial number of points in one fell swoop.
But now, it seems more cost-effective to go to Galar and challenge Qibana. After all, besides the sleeping Brilliant God, there's nothing much in Dr. Kukui's Alola Region to attract Fang Yuan.
