Rocket Team Headquarters Office.
"Leader Sakaki, you called for me?" Aggron (presumably a subordinate named Aggron, or just addressing Sakaki respectfully) said respectfully to Sakaki, dressed in a black robe.
"The Alliance seems to be making moves in the Johto region lately," Sakaki said to Aggron, stroking Persian.
"Go investigate what's going on. My right eyelid has been twitching; I have a bad premonition." Sakaki also had a headache. After this Mewtwo was developed, it had gone out of control three times in two days.
This out-of-control Mewtwo had caused no small losses for Team Rocket. Moreover, according to the report from Team Rocket's chief scientist, they found that Mewtwo seemed to have developed intelligence.
Now Sakaki was quite wary of the Alliance. Most of Team Rocket's personnel had arrangements. If the Alliance made any big moves, they had enough manpower to defend against it.
"Oh, by the way, has that kid arrived in Lavender Town yet?" Sakaki suddenly thought of something, raised an eyebrow, and said to Aggron.
"He's arrived. He sent a message saying the Alliance has big moves in the Johto region. He's currently investigating for information," Aggron replied honestly.
As always, being a man of few, cautious words, Aggron didn't reveal the message Qingwu had just sent him.
Leader Sakaki was busy with countless affairs. It was better not to bother him with such minor matters.
"If he can investigate the Alliance's movements, then Team Rocket's resources will be allocated to him accordingly, treating him with the same elite treatment as 553."
Sakaki was a very generous man.
Employing people without suspicion was Sakaki's greatest strength. No matter how many little schemes there were, as long as they didn't disrupt Sakaki's plans, Sakaki would turn a blind eye.
What's more, Qingwu was going to be an undercover agent for the Alliance, so the risk was even higher.
"Currently, our main focus is still on the Kanto and Johto regions. That old guy Giovanni always wants a legendary Pokémon under his control to appear in the Kanto region."
"The master of the Sprout Tower is also a smart fellow. He has a firm grasp on Lugia and Ho-Oh. Now, I don't know which region's legendary Pokémon Giovanni is eyeing." Old man Sakaki tapped his fingers on the table.
"After we cleared out the Alliance's spies, the remaining hidden agents don't dare to easily send us messages."
"Now the Alliance is in the dark, and we are in the light. We have been heavily infiltrated by the Alliance. Aggron, seize the time to find the traitors."
Now, Team Rocket and the Alliance were like fire and water, mutually hostile. The sooner they found the Alliance's spies, the less loss Team Rocket would incur.
"I understand, Leader." Aggron was also under great pressure.
Sakaki did not want information about Mewtwo to be leaked. This would make the already restless Giovanni take risks and directly engage Team Rocket in battle.
Silph Co., Celadon City.
Faba was checking the endlessly assembling energy device. This was the most important prop for the Rayquaza Capture Operation. This endless energy device could break through Rayquaza's protective Delta Stream.
"The people of Meteor Falls are now led by the current High Priestess Saya. The people of Meteor Falls are very exclusive, and there's nothing we can do. I need the rare metals contained in Meteor Falls," Faba said to Big Aggron.
"Rare metals hold the lifeline of Devon Corporation. To defeat the mighty Silph Co., we need vast amounts of rare metals. It's all those people of Meteor Falls who are stubborn and unadaptable, making me have to be the villain."
How could others sleep soundly while he was busy? Faba would not let the people of Meteor Falls control his lifeline. He must personally take control of it.
Faba's plan was very simple: to weaken Rayquaza's strength through the infinite energy device and then capture the current High Priestess.
Forcing the people of Meteor Falls to yield and agree to let Devon Corporation mine rare ores and extract rare metals.
The people of Meteor Falls believe that Meteor Falls is where their ancestral dragon god Rayquaza is worshipped. It is a pure and sacred place that cannot be defiled by humans, so they firmly oppose the mining of Meteor Falls.
There are many wild Dragon-type Pokémon in Meteor Falls. Only the people of Meteor Falls can tame these Dragon-type Pokémon, among whom are Elite Four and pseudo-Elite Four level Dragon-type Pokémon.
Silph Co. and Devon Corporation had organized several sieges on Meteor Falls, but they were all directly thwarted by the Dragon-type Pokémon released by the people of Meteor Falls.
Moreover, the people of Meteor Falls also had an Elite Four trainer, Saya, the former High Priestess. This was the Elite Four trainer Faba knew about. As for how many there were in the shadows, Faba didn't know.
Therefore, capturing Rayquaza and Saya was the best way to threaten the people of Meteor Falls.
"Big Aggron, be careful when you go out recently. Devon Corporation's subsidiary recently suffered an attack from the Rock Team and Water Team."
"News came yesterday that people from the Rock Team also went to attack Dr. Kotone's place yesterday, but they were stopped by a trainer," Faba said to Big Aggron.
"I understand, Father." Beside Big Aggron was a different-colored Metagross, Level 71.
"We are now treading on thin ice. As the eldest son of the Faba family, you must bear the fate of the family," Faba said with a heavy heart.
Big Aggron had already run away.
"You stinky brat, come back! I also want to go dig for stones!" Faba pulled out his Cane and shouted loudly.
Qingwu had arrived at the entrance of Petalburg Woods at this time, looking at the endless forest.
Petalburg Woods was the largest forest in the Lavender Town area, known as the "Green Lung" of Lavender Town. Countless Grass and Bug-type Pokémon lived there.
Qingwu's favorite Grass-type Pokémon in Lavender Town should be Shroomish. Petalburg Woods was Shroomish's biggest headache.
Shroomish could evolve into Breloom, and a Breloom with the Poison Heal ability, combined with a Toxic Orb, would be quite formidable.
Unfortunately, Shroomish with good potential were rare. In his previous life, Qingwu spent a full two months in Petalburg Woods just to capture a green-potential Shroomish, and the best potential it had was yellow potential.
Petalburg Woods had countless forest rangers, whose purpose was to prevent large-scale reproduction of Bug-type Pokémon, which would lead to forest destruction.
They adhered to the principle of "survival of the fittest," but once Bug-type Pokémon significantly decreased, the rangers would also intervene to reduce the number of Bug-type Pokémon.
Countless wild Pokémon groups lived in Petalburg Woods. They were no less numerous than Pokémon in other regions.
These small Pokémon were Pokémon released by trainers from other regions when they traveled to Lavender Town. These Pokémon survived in a "survival of the fittest" environment, becoming even more hostile towards humans.
Qingwu then saw a purple Glameow picking berries. When this purple Pokémon saw Qingwu approach, its pupils constricted. It extended its sharp claws and bared its fangs.
Then Glameow, biting the berry, quickly burrowed into the bushes and disappeared.
There were quite a few small rivers in Petalburg Woods, with many joyful Magikarp playing in the water.
Qingwu directly found a group of Taillow and Swellow.
Taillow and Swellow were the most common Flying-type Pokémon in Petalburg Woods. They were responsible for balancing the ecosystem of Petalburg Woods.
Swellow was also the Flying-type Pokémon most commonly used by Team Rocket.
"Swellow, help me with sparring training," Qingwu said to the Swellow leader.
This Swellow leader was Level 43 when Qingwu saw it. He could test Lairon's training results.
Qingwu's Pokémon needed enough actual combat to grow stronger.
