Chapter 1291 Speedrun Failed

"Boss! It's not good, boss!"

Bang bang bang!
A knock on the door of the villa startled Sakaki from his pleasant afternoon nap.

In his dream, Team Rocket, which he inherited from his mother, became the world's number one corporation, controlling the economic lifeline of many regions and having 99% of the Pokémon under his control.

Countless young people are scrambling to get into the Rockets; there's so much talent that they can pick and choose.

Even Mewtwo, who had once betrayed him, had to return to the Rockets headquarters to apologize and ask to join them.

Sakaki scoffed, coldly retorting, "Useless thing! We don't need you anymore!"

Then, he deliberately kicked Mewtwo out of the house, letting its desolate figure disappear into the biting cold wind...

"Boss! Something happened!"

The moment the Rockets secretary barged in, his first words made Giovanni frown.

He sat up with the help of the maid, and the eldest cat by the bed obediently nuzzled its head over.

"What's all the noise about! What's the problem? The red chains can't hold Dialga?"

Giovanni had anticipated this, and said nonchalantly, "If we can't catch them, so be it. The important thing is to take this opportunity to collect all the Pokémon in the world."

His experience with Mewtwo taught him that some Pokémon are truly unruly and difficult to tame, so it's better to just give up on them.

The maid handed him a cup of fragrant black tea. Just as Sakaki took a sip, he heard his secretary's hesitant voice coming from across the table.

"Boss...our entire base has been destroyed..."

"Pfft—!! Cough cough cough!"

He sprayed black tea all over the cup, looked up in disbelief, and unconsciously patted the cat's head harder with his left hand. "What did you say!"

"Meow!"

The feline leader, in pain, struggled violently and suddenly pulled away.

Ignoring it, Sakaki stared intently at his trembling secretary and said in a deep voice, "What exactly happened?"

The secretary gritted her teeth and said, "Just now..."

She reported to Giovanni that Team Rocket's branch bases around the world had been destroyed from the outside, and that the headquarters had been attacked after all of them lost contact with each other.

But Sakaki couldn't listen to more than half of it.

"What do you mean by a group of legendary Pokémon and Pokémon I've never seen before?"

"What do you mean the plan failed? Our people were all hypnotized?"

"You're kidding me!"

"What about the casualties?"

He roared uncontrollably.

"The casualties aren't serious, but..." the secretary took a deep breath, "...the property damage is quite severe."

Property damage!!
Sakaki suddenly clutched his chest. This was the last thing he wanted to hear; nothing hurt him more than losing money.

"Let's go! Take me to headquarters!"

He forced out a few words through gritted teeth, the good mood brought on by his sweet dream vanishing completely.

at the same time.

Polygon II is working on evidence of wrongdoing by Team Rocket's white glove company.

It couldn't help but ask, "Does it really work?"

It knew the Rockets' resilience, and even with its ability to freely access the opponent's database, Polygonal II dared not claim to have a complete understanding of their entire industry.

"Who cares? As long as it causes trouble for the Rockets." Kashiwagi didn't seem to care.

In the main world, Team Rocket's constant clinging to Ash propelled them to become the villainous organization that held out until the very end.

The Team Rocket trio from the parallel world seems to be more capable, but if Ash from the parallel world hadn't been clinging to them, defeating them shouldn't have been difficult.

It all depends on whether the Kanto Alliance here can deliver.

Kashiwagi gazed at the ruins of Team Rocket's headquarters in the distance. Unlike the previous time when he was discovered by Giovanni during a midnight intrusion, no one else approached this time.

"Let's leave if no one comes."

He called out to Hoopa, who was playing a game with a Shiny Gengar, who had half a donut in his mouth and his face was full of excitement.

"Pop! Pop! Hahaha! Hoopa is the strongest!"

On the small screen, the character knocks the opponent's health to zero, Hoopa flies around excitedly, and Gengar sighs and looks like it can't win.

Polygon II glanced at it sideways.

This guy even understands social etiquette!
It remembered that Gengar had almost reached the top ten in the world in this fighting game, and someone had even invited it to participate in offline competitions.

"finished?"

Hearing Kashiwagi's greeting, Hoopa finished his donut in a few bites, didn't even glance at the ruins in the distance, and quickly activated his light wheel.

It leads directly to the location of the bamboo orchid.

Thanks to the fact that there is also a Champion Cynthia in the parallel world, she received a lot of help from Officer Jenny, Nurse Joy, and even the League officials, and successfully recovered all the Pokémon stolen by Team Rocket from another world.

However, she had one question.

"How can you distinguish which Pokémon belong to our world?"

"The Rockets' operations teams around the world have noted that these guys are more professional at doing bad things than anyone else."

Kashiwagi smiled helplessly.

Team Rocket, as a large-scale cross-regional criminal organization, is no different from a regular listed company. In addition, Giovanni values ​​money very much, so he naturally needs to clearly register the source of the Pokémon he acquires to prevent anyone from embezzling.

These are all money!
But it is precisely because it is professional enough that Porygon II can easily find a large number of legitimate companies that make money for Team Rocket. After Kashiwagi's machinations, even if Team Rocket in the parallel world does not go bankrupt, it will be half dead!

—In fact, the situation was more serious than Kashiwagi had guessed.

Because this retaliatory action was exceptionally fierce and took place during the daytime when many people were gathered, the damage to the Rockets is already incalculable.

Even more deadly were those front-line companies. Not only were numerous pieces of evidence sent to alliances around the world, but the cash in their bank accounts was also transferred out in batches. When Sakaki arrived, his secretarial team gave him a dizzying answer.

"Boss~ We're bankrupt~"

Bankruptcy...bankruptcy...bankruptcy...

Sakaki fainted on the spot.

The Rockets' legacy, built up over two generations, was ruined by him before he could even pass the torch to the Silver Warriors!
Damn it!
How shameful!

In the parallel world, Sakaki was more vulnerable than in this world. After the medical team saved him, he immediately roared in anger:
"Investigate! Investigate! Find out who did it!"

But the Rockets' investigation was destined to be futile.

They could guess that the target was from a parallel world, but who would have thought that the target was just a champion of Europa who shouldn't exist?
monitor?

It had long been occupied by Polygon II, and the world without firewalls was too free for it.

Unable to find any results, the Rockets were in a state of chaos. They had to deal with pressure from the league on one hand, and on the other hand, they began large-scale layoffs, including the Rockets' trio.

The otherworldly Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow felt like the sky had fallen.

"We're unemployed?"

"its not right!"

"There's no such thing as a meow..."

"Whoosh~"

The wailing echoed across the fields, startling countless wild Pokémon.

Of course, all of this happened after Kashiwagi left the parallel world, and before he left, he made a special trip to Oure in the other world.

What troubled him was that while the otherworld of Orei was desolate, it was also exceptionally peaceful.

After the first leader of the Shadows, Erza, and the second leader, Deathgold, surrendered, a third leader, Erza, never appeared.

The old man's parallel universe counterpart didn't have such great ambitions and became a stingy businessman.

Huangtie Town was still covered in yellow sand, with large numbers of people living underground, mines shut down, and the economy in a state of extreme depression.

And there will never be another one like him.

Everyone who knows Bai Mu can see that his personality changes, big or small, but he himself is not.

"Me, who is one of a kind?"

Kashiwagi knew his situation was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be this unusual.

Even Ash Ketchum had a second one, but he didn't.

After processing his rather complicated feelings, Kashiwagi looked at his Pokémon and asked, "Would you like to meet you from the parallel world?"

Most of the Pokémon shook their heads.

To them, their parallel world selves are nothing more than other individuals who look very similar to them. What difference does it make if they meet? It's meaningless.

"You are still open-minded."

Kashiwagi said with a smile.

-

Leave the parallel world through an unclosed time portal.

I'm glad Palukia didn't rush to shut it down, saving Kashiwagi the trouble of going to find it with the red chain.

It's not a pretty sight to see "brothers" fighting amongst themselves.

The fierce Heavenly Crown Mountain Spear Pillar.

The horde of Pokémon brought back awakened the sleeping Team Galactic. The wind on the mountaintop was exceptionally cold, and due to Kashiwagi's irresponsible behavior, almost all of them caught a cold.

Hoopa activated the light wheel to transport the Pokémon to the city at the foot of the mountain. Cynthia then used the Pokémon Center registration system to scan the Pokémon and identify their trainers.

Although Poké Balls don't exist, as long as their trainers have captured them with Poké Balls and taken them to the Pokémon Center for a checkup, the corresponding information exists in the database.

It saved a lot of trouble.

As for the Galaxy Team's officers, Kashiwagi didn't continue talking to them, as he was busy searching for the stone tablets.

"I'm leaving everything else to you."

Bai Mu decisively dumped all the remaining miscellaneous tasks on Zhu Lan.

Zhu Lan didn't refuse, "Leave it to me!"

She paused for a moment, then asked, "If I may ask, what are your plans for the future?"

"There's a task that needs to be handled."

Kashiwa didn't tell the other person that he was going to find the stone slab, since explaining many things would be quite troublesome.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lan suppressed her regret.

She genuinely wanted to go on an adventure with Kashiwagi, just to personally explore the myths and histories of various parts of the world.

She certainly wouldn't have such thoughts about an ordinary person, but Kashiwagi was a fellow champion, with similar status and not much difference in age, making them a very suitable travel companion.

Unfortunately, the other person seems to be like me, preferring to act alone.

"Good luck to you."

Zhu Lan watched Bai Mu disappear into the halo of light, her black coat swaying in the wind, and suddenly sighed softly, "Ah~"

the other side.

The moment the light wheel closed, Polygon II couldn't help but ask, "Does she have feelings for you?"

"She has her own ideas about my encounter with legendary Pokémon like Calyrex."

Cypress could roughly guess Bamboo Orchid's intention.

However, he was really used to acting alone and didn't want too many people to know his secrets, even the characters he liked in his childhood.

To put it in the context of a visual novel, it means his affection level for Zhu Lan isn't high enough to unlock the hidden CGs. Miss Zhu Lan needs to work harder...

"Alright! Let's get down to business!"

Kashiwabe Fly rubbed his hands together, looking expectantly at the lazy Hoopa, and said solemnly, "Warrior Hoopa! I have a very important task for you!"

Hoopa jolted awake and immediately replied, "Hoopa is ready at any time! Little White, just give the order!"

This is a line from a game it recently played with Gengar.

Bai Mu said, "I need your help to find some stone slabs."

Without a doubt, taking advantage of this opportunity to call Hoopa over, he planned to speedrun the parallel world's Team Rocket and also speedrun the Slate collection quest.

The light wheel is super useful!
"slate?"

Hoopa tilted his head in confusion, and Porygon II immediately provided a relevant image.

Having grasped the concept, Hupa suddenly understood and began to manipulate the light wheel.

"Give it to Hoopa! Stone Slab, Stone Slab! Come out, come out—"

Several light wheels swayed up and down for a long time, gently trembling in the expectant eyes of Kashiwagi and Porygon II.

then……

Nothing happened.

Kashiwagi and Porygon2 looked at the halo, then at the bewildered Hoopa, "Uh, did you summon it?"

"Hoopa has been summoned!"

Hupa responded eagerly, puffing out his cheeks and shouting, "One more time! Slate, slate! Come out, come out—"

There was still no response.

No matter how many times it tried, the light wheel remained unresponsive, as if it had lost its power.

In his haste, Hoopa changed his target to Balzac's turban, which he successfully obtained.

"...Little White, Hoopa can't help you anymore."

"I'm very frustrated," Hoopa said.

Kashiwagi was somewhat disappointed, but he accepted the repeated failures and said, "It's okay, thank you for your hard work."

As expected, things like stone slabs, which represent the origin of the world, cannot be transported by a wheel of light.

Or perhaps Arceus didn't want Hoopa to transport its stone tablets.

Kashiwagi scratched his head. "Looks like I'll have to figure it out myself, but where should I even begin?"

There was absolutely no clue as to where the stone slab was.

Polygonal II had already conducted an online investigation, but still couldn't get any answers.

While he was pondering, the sleeping Taleborgs above him suddenly awoke.

"Bang~~Gah~~"

It yawned widely, looked around sleepily, and then went searching for something.

Cypress raised its head and, seeing how it looked like it was searching for something to eat, knew that it was most likely searching for the Thousand Universe Arm.

"Baka!"

Just then, Talebagos lowered his slender neck, looked upside down at him, and shouted, as if demanding the Thousand-Wrist Arm from him.

Cypress took it off her neck and handed it to it, saying, "You're quite persistent, but why did you fall asleep at such a crucial moment?"

When Arceus came, he was fast asleep, but when he left, he clung to his thousand arms.

Talebagos was puzzled, but it was happy to have regained the Thousand Cosmic Arm. It grabbed a part of the red chain, swung it around its neck, and finally bit the main body of the Thousand Cosmic Arm.

Hoopa looked at the little turtle, blinked, and said, "Is this your new tamed companion? How strange!"

I hadn't noticed it before, thinking it was just a decoration.

"Its name is Talebagas... Hoopa, you've really worked hard this time. Shall we go to the amusement park in a few days?"

Kashiwagi decided to treat Hoopa to a good meal.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already dusk, he would have preferred to go right now.

Upon hearing this, Hoopa cheered excitedly, "Yay! Hoopa is going to the amusement park! Let's call Mayari and Balzac to go together!"

"of course can!"

Both parties have reached an agreement.

Hoopa returned to Carlos full of anticipation, just as Balzac was frantically searching for his turban, nearly going crazy.

He was somewhat helpless when he discovered that Hoopa had taken it.

Kashiwagi checked into a hotel in Sinnoh, planning to search for clues in various locations the next day.

But what he didn't know was that in the dead of night...

The entire body of Talebagos, which was holding the Thousand-Wrist Arm, glowed brightly, and suddenly released its radiance, encompassing him and all his Pokémon.

This left the entire hotel room completely empty.
