Chapter 567 Undercurrent (two-in-one)

...

"cough cough, let's talk about it some other time."

Natsu Rejects Sabrina's "kindness".

Who is Giovanni?

Rocket Team Boss!

The most charismatic man among all the underground organizations in the entire Pokémon world.

Team Rocket is also the only one among all the underground forces that occupies two regions, Kanto and Johto.

If Giovanni's mind is not on the entanglement between these forces now, Natsu doesn't know how it is in the Kanto Region, but in the Johto Region Giovanni certainly dares to barge.

Not to mention the rainbow Team Rocket, which is almost a huge Influence that can shake the entire Alliance.

Natsu thought about it.

If he really couldn't make a name for himself in the Alliance, and he was suppressed everywhere, it would also be a good choice to go to Giovanni.

At least Giovanni wasn't the impersonal Boss type, like Musashi and James who could do things in various places, and Giovanni was definitely helping out.

Under his hands, as long as he is truly capable, he is not afraid of failure.

But he was also a Gym Leader now, and was valued by the Sinnoh Alliance, so there was no need to venture into Team Rocket's muddy waters.

"Oh."

Sabrina was a little disappointed when she heard that Natsu wasn't interested.

"What would you do?"

Seeing Natsu standing up, Sabrina also stood up and asked curiously.

"Take some Water-Type Pokémon." Natsu narrowed his eyes.

"Water-Type Pokémon?"

Ignoring Sabrina's question, Natsu gave her another "head pat", and said to Snorlax and Bewear.

"Thunder Punch."

Both Pokemon know what that means.

The two of them stepped towards the lake.

The electric current, formed just as their hands clenched above, then moved towards the lake without the slightest hesitation.

Natsu was clearly using the most "simple" way of fishing.

For the meantime.

The small area on the surface of the lake was boiling, and many Water-Type Pokémon couldn't stand the stimulation and jumped out of the water.

There were even a few Water-Type Pokémon that were electrocuted and lost combat ability, and rushed towards Natsu where they were.

Natsu throws a Poke Ball, summoning Monferno and Eevee again, to battle the weaker Water-Type Pokémon.

And several Water-Type Pokémon, whose strength is beyond that of Monferno and Eevee, but fall short of Natsu's standards, were all shot back by Snorlax and Bewear.

This view.

This is brutal fishing.

Sabrina just stood there and watched this scene curiously.

To Monferno and Eevee who were summoned by Natsu, she gave a strange look.

"Why are you raising such a weak Pokemon?"

Sabrina was curious.

Snorlax and Bewear both possessed quasi-Elite level powers, but looking at Natsu's appearance, it seemed like he was deliberately giving Monferno and Eevee a chance to train.

This confused her.

After all, her Pokemon were actively searching for her themselves, and they weren't weak.

After her strength got stronger and her eyesight got higher, she didn't train any more Pokemon.

Do you want to cultivate your own Pokemon?

And in the habits of Team Rocket members, aren't Pokemon the same as tools?

If Pokemon can't keep up, why not just change it?

Natsu turned his head to the side and looked at her seriously "If you say something like this again, I have to send you off."

hearing this, Sabrina was shocked.

She didn't understand why Natsu was angry at this comment.

Who is temperamental now?

"They are my Pokemon." Natsu said again, looking towards the lake.

My Pokémon?

"Oh."

Sabrina seemed to think and looked at Espeon beside her.

She could vaguely see Espeon's jealousy towards Natsu's Eevee?

Natsu's words made her ponder.

On the other hand, Natsu was not silent.

While letting Bewear and Snorlax continue releasing "Thunder Punch", they also deliberately "skipped" some Pokémon to make room for Monferno and Eevee to train.

And when there is a huge wave on the water, the first Water-Type Pokémon that meets his standards arrives.

It was Golduck coming out of the water.

Gym level strength.

On the Snorlax and Bewear front, clearly not enough.

With their combined strength, Golduck was defeated in three or two hits.

Replaced by Natsu with Poke Ball.

"Continue."

Only with Golduck, can't seem to meet his demands.

The second is Chinchou.

Even though he only has (elite) level strength, Natsu chooses to accept Chinchou considering Chinchou's role.

It wasn't until Gym level Gyarados appeared that Natsu officially quit.

There are so many Magikarp in this lake that it makes no sense not to find a suitable Gyarados.

Due to the Gyarados' size, Gyarados can carry it without much pressure and dive into the water.

After ending the brutal fishing.

Natsu took some more time to subdue them, promising several conditions.

This is the fastest way to control.

The three Water-Type Pokémon also reluctantly accept Natsu as a temporary Trainer.

In fact.

In the opinion of many people, it is better to spend energy and time cultivating Pokemon than taking the finished product directly. It doesn't require any resources to train, which saves time and worry.

Of.

It's very convenient.

For example, Bewear, after being subdued by Natsu, who can quickly deploy battle power.

But that doesn't sound good.

In battle.

How much battle power can you use from Bewear?

Does it have something to do with Natsu's order or not?

cough cough.

The main objective of catching these three Water-Type Pokémon is to explore the lake.

But let Natsu explain one thing.

Next, take the Pokemon direction.

The choice of a Water-Type Pokémon should be on the agenda.

Otherwise, if such a situation were to occur again, it would take time and time to "pick up the materials in place".

The main Pokemon that Natsu has actually identified are Beedrill, Alakazam, Togekiss, Aegislash, Monferno, and Latios.

Exactly six Pokemon.

The small Eevee is still under consideration.

But now, one is raising one, and so are both, so he can also count the little Eevees along the way.

The rest, such as Snorlax, Bewear, Noivern, are more of a temporary Pokémon to fill the void of their hunting Pokémon.

Natsu is still very clear on the role of this Pokemon.

Even now, the strongest Snorlax and Bewear are strong.

But Natsu believes that it won't be long before Beedrill and the others catch up.

It was only because of the current sensitivity of his identity that he couldn't get it on the surface.

"Almost."

Natsu looked up at the sky.

Even though it was gray and foggy everywhere, he could also feel a lot darker.

A lot of time wasted. Natsu muttered to himself.

"Are you going into the water?" Sabrina saw Natsu finished, and finally ran again.

"en. "

Put all three Water-Type Pokémon back into the water.

They floated silently on the water, waiting for Natsu's arrangement.

For them, Natsu promised that when he was about to leave the island, if they wanted to leave they could leave, so the reining process was so fast.

It's also partly because Snorlax and Bewear are quite "friendly".

"I join."

Sabrina was just about to speak excitedly, but the phone on her body rang.

It's a satellite phone.

As soon as he connected, the voice on the other end of the line made Natsu slightly tense.

It's Giovanni!

"Sabrina."

Giovanni's voice was deep, with unquestionable seriousness.

Sabrina stuck out her tongue, "Boss."

Is this "boss Giovanni"?

Natsu narrowed his eyes.

"You running again?"

"hehe."

"Come back, they're not safe without you."

"Oh."

Sabrina didn't shy away from the conversation, so Natsu heard some content as well.

Sabrina leaves this time with a mission.

As for the specific contents of the mission, Natsu didn't hear about it.

But it might be related to this island.

Before hanging up, Sabrina said: "By the way, Boss Giovanni, I met a very interesting person, he speaks the same way as you. Do you want me to take him to see you next time? "

Hearing this sentence, Natsu tensed up and some cold sweat rolled down his back.

There was also a brief silence on the other end of the line.

"Is that so? I will let you agree, and I will have the opportunity to meet him."

"Mmm."

"Remember to complete the task."

After saying this last sentence, the phone was hung up.

Sabrina looked at Natsu with a smile, moved towards him and waved her hand "Then I won't be accompanying you."

"Hmm"

"See you next time."

After saying that, Sabrina and Espeon disappeared in front of Natsu.

"Giovanni." Natsu pressed his forehead.

Tell the truth.

Natsu actually has some contradictions in his heart.

He didn't want to see Team Rocket's Boss being terrorized on the news, but he also wanted to see what kind of person Giovanni, who was so loyally followed by so many people.

He shook his head.

Self-deprecating laugh.

"Forget it, let's not meet again."

With his small body, if he really entered Team Rocket's base, he really couldn't help but decide.

Even with Dragapult.

However, Sabrina's departure helps him shake off some of the restraints.

Summon Alakazam.

"Keep on going, Alakazam."

"Zaam."

Alakazam nodded, moved the spoon, and formed the Psychic chamber.

...

Kanto Region.

Underground at Viridian Gym, Viridian City.

Team Rocket Base.

Giovanni put down the phone, smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Boss Giovanni, is it alright to leave it to Lady Sabrina?"

In front of Giovanni, three men in white coats and dressed like researchers stood respectfully.

The questioner is Dr. Namba standing on the far left.

The other two are Dr. Fuji and Blaine.

They were all high-class talents in Team Rocket and had special statuses. Among them, Blaine is the Gym Leader of the Cinnabar Gym in the Kanto Region.

And they.

These are the three most important members of Team Rocket's research into the Mew gene.

Research Dr. Namba focuses on Pokémon control.

Dr.Fuji's research direction is pure Pokémon genes.

Meanwhile Blaine is in charge of the Pokémon fossils.

Hearing Dr. Namba's question, Giovanni firmly said: "As long as that thing really exists, I can leave it to Sabrina."

One of the main features of Giovanni, is the belief in the abilities of his subordinates.

Of course this belief was based on Giovanni's approval.

Mew's gene, Team Rocket, has been extracted from Mew's eyelashes on a fossil.

But Mew's genes change anytime, anywhere, and it can be any Pokémon.

In order to reproduce Mew, or even create a Pokémon stronger than Mew, Team Rocket will need to combine several other strong Pokémon for complex mixing.

Sabrina's current job is to sample the genetics of powerful Pokémon.

Dr. Namba confirmed: "Yes, it must be there, I found traces of that Pokemon approaching there before, and I happened to find the island."

"But Boss Giovanni, why are we ordering the Hunter's Guild?"

This time Blaine.

He doubted the Hunter's Guild's abilities.

Giovanni waved his hand.

"Someone gave me some very interesting proposals, this time is an attempt, you don't have to take it seriously."

Hearing Giovanni say this, the three of them were also interested.

"Okay, go."

"Yes."

The three nodded and left.

As the three of them left, Giovanni pressed his finger on the red button on the table.

Unknown call opened.

"Try."

"Understood, Boss."

Three voices came from the other end of the phone.

Hanging up the phone, Giovanni leaned back in a wide chair, diving into the shadows.

Knock, knock, knock

His fingers tapped lightly on the table.

A crisp sound echoed gently in the large office.

There was a hint of curiosity in the deep voice.

"Are you someone who looks like me?"

...

Natsu, who entered the bottom of the lake again, was clearly more experienced than last time.

With the help of three Water-Type Pokémon, it's also more convenient.

Gyarados is very agile and deterrent enough that a Normal Water-Type Pokémon wouldn't dare approach.

Chinchou provides a light that illuminates the dim bottom of the lake, making him easier to find.

Golduck lurked ahead, reporting the situation.

Natsu and Alakazam remain silent in the Psychic's isolated space.

If he couldn't find anything at this time, he could only come back tomorrow.

And the day after tomorrow, he had to start "hunting" other Pokémon hunters, otherwise he might not get those three places.

Not much time for him.

"Wait."

Natsu stopped suddenly.

"Zam?" Alakazam looked at him suspiciously.

Bewear who was riding on Gyarados' head slammed his fist into Gyarados' head.

Gyarados immediately stopped obediently.

He endured the pain in his head, his face full of ingratitude.

For Chinchou and Golduck, more believable for Natsu.

But for the grumpy Gyarados, Natsu chose to take care of him.

Bewear is the shackles he puts on Gyarados.

See how cute it is.

Natsu looked outside.

To be precise, aquatic plants swayed along the water outside.

"It's normal for plants to follow the water, but it's weird for all the plants to head in one direction," Natsu muttered to himself.

"Zam?" Alakazam also responded.

They had been wandering around the bottom of the lake.

But the aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake all swayed in one direction.

Underwater is undercurrent.

It is theoretically impossible for all aquatic plants to move in one direction of swing at the same time.

Unless the undercurrent is also moving in one direction.

Although the amplitude and frequency of vibrations are not high.

But with the help of Chinchou's lighting, Natsu realized it.

"Go and see."

Bewear holding the Gyarados scales and do the pilot once.

Gyarados swung his tail and swam towards the aquatic plants.

Quick.

They came to a rock wall at the bottom of the water.

It looks like it's coming to an end.

But Natsu looked at Alakazam and nodded.

Alakazam understands.

Psychic Control.

He carried some rocks and moved towards the rock wall.

Most of the rocks bounce back after hitting the wall.

But there were also one or two pieces that disappeared after touching the rock wall.

"Zam."

Alakazam understood, he and Natsu moved towards the rock wall slowly.

Soon after.

They crash somewhere.

As if through thin silk.

When Natsu opened his eyes again, he had entered a damp cave, and a slow stream of water flowed under his feet and disappeared into the depths of the cave.

And behind him.

It is like transparent silk that can see the bottom of the lake outside.

"Is this the secret of this lake?"

"Zam!"

Alakazam moved towards Natsu and called out.

Follow the prompts.

Natsu saw.

The beautiful tail spread like a fan, gently slapping the water in the cave.

Then a graceful and slender figure jumped out of the water, accompanied by a splash of water, vividly and thoroughly setting off the beauty of this Pokemon.

This is

Milotic!
