Pokémon: Master System.

"You discard all electronic devices, approach the Magnemite, pass their inspection, and then you can travel to the other side of the island to ride the Howling Whale. After that, you will see Andrew."

“Come on, Andrew. Say a few words.” Xia Yu held the phone close to Andrew.

"Father...save me." Andrew's voice was weak, causing Maye to frown.

"Alright, you can get started now."

…………

As Mayer listened to "Sakaki's" meticulous plan, his brow furrowed; for the first time, he felt a sense of unease.

Despite his already formidable strength, Giovanni remained remarkably cautious, as if he had meticulously planned everything.

Especially since Giovanni hasn't shown up yet, he's been led by the nose the whole time.

“Sakaki, this is going too far.” Meyer took a deep breath, her voice cold, and slowly said, “It seems you don’t trust me, nor are you sincerely interested in making a deal.”

“Champion Maye, you’re wrong.” Xia Yu’s voice carried a hint of a smile: “It’s precisely because I’m here to make a deal that I’m doing this. After all, Champion Maye, you’re already renowned, and your strength forces me to be fully prepared. I dare not be the slightest bit negligent.”

Despite the insincere flattery from "Sakaki," Meyer remained unmoved. He was currently preoccupied with how to tell Canghai what had happened here!

Although he had absolute confidence in his strength, this was not the British Empire, nor was it his territory; it was China.

Even someone as powerful as him must be careful.

Seeing that Maye remained silent for a long time, Xia Yu's voice slowly rang out: "Champion Maye, this is the premise of our trade. If we don't even have this kind of trust, then there's no need to continue the trade."

“Okay, I agree.” Meyer took a deep breath and finally agreed to Xia Yu’s conditions.

He traveled a long way to come here to make a deal with "Sakaki," how could he give up so easily?

Even if Andrew dies, he still wants to meet "Sakaki".

Following Xia Yu's instructions, Champion Maye removed all electronic devices from her body, passed through Magnemite's security check, and then climbed onto Wailord's back.

Chapter 519 The Ultimate Champion

Waves rippled, submerging the wet beach.

The sky was overcast, covered with dark clouds, and light snow was falling.

Sea fog gradually rose, spreading across the sea surface.

After many twists and turns, Meyer finally arrived at the island where he was trading with Xia Yu.

"Finally, we meet, Champion Maye." Xia Yu's gaze fell on Maye, who had just landed on the island. A smile appeared on his lips as he greeted her like a long-lost friend, "Didn't you say you would send an agent to handle the transaction? Why did you come in person?"

“I originally planned to have someone else come in my place, but I’ve been hearing Sakaki’s name a lot lately, so I couldn’t resist coming to see you.” Meyer’s expression was calm, and her tone was indifferent.

Meyer looked at Xia Yu and the other two, and then couldn't help but shift her gaze to the Holy Flame Masks on their faces.

It must be said that the exclusive mask made of rainbow-colored feathers was really too eye-catching. The blazing white holy flames made even the well-informed Maye take a second look.

Is this the rainbow crest that Giovanni stole last time? Is this the Sacred Flame?

After glancing at the mask, Maye then focused her gaze on the two women behind Sakaki.

Among them, Sylvia, who was blonde, was someone Meyer vaguely remembered. This blonde woman should be the same blonde woman who stood next to Sakaki during the last shipwreck incident.

He was seeing another woman wearing a motorcycle helmet for the first time, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

“Andrew is right here. Look, he’s doing very well,” Xia Yu’s voice rang out, as he slightly turned his body to show Maye the iron cage behind the three of them.

Mayer's gaze passed through the three men and landed on the iron cage.

Upon seeing Maye, Andrew, trapped in the iron cage, broke down emotionally, tears streaming down his face. Months of living in a cage without seeing the light of day had brought him to the brink of mental collapse. He had so much grievance to tell: "Father, save me."

Maye stared coldly at the pitiful Andrew, saying nothing. Beneath her black mask, a chilling voice rang out: "What are you crying for, Andrew!"

As Maye's stern voice rang out, Andrew immediately stopped crying like a child and looked at Maye timidly.

"Champion Maye, you're being too demanding of your son." Xia Yu looked at Maye and said with a smile, "Where are your things?"

“Here it is.” The silver briefcase containing the treasure reappeared in Maye’s hands.

"Champion Maye, please open the box again so I can take a look," Xia Yu's voice rang out, gesturing for Maye to open the box once more.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's request, Meyer nodded gently and silently opened the briefcase.

As the silver briefcase was opened, Xia Yu finally saw the various rare items and evolution stones inside up close for the first time.

At the same time, with the help of the system, information about all the items appeared before Xia Yu's eyes.

"S-Rank Celebration Armor"

"S-Rank Spell Armor!"

"A-grade ice stone!"

"An Aluminum Steel Dragon Pokémon Egg with King-level aptitude."

…………

Xia Yu was somewhat surprised to find that all the items, evolution stones, and Pokémon eggs in the box met his requirements.

He had assumed that Maye would tamper with the items and evolution stones, either mixing in fakes or using products of inferior quality. Xia Yu never expected Maye to be so honest, using only genuine items.

Something unusual must be going on, and this made Xia Yu more cautious and vigilant.

Meyer, who is able to sit on the throne of the British Empire champion, would never be so generous as to give him all these rare items. Since he dared to take out these items and Pokémon eggs, he must have left a backup plan. He must have absolute confidence in taking these items back.

“Champion Maye is indeed generous. All these items are fine. Now you can put the box on the ground, and I’ll have my Pokémon come and get it. Of course, don’t worry, I’ll also release Andrew. You can have your Pokémon come and pick him up.” Xia Yu’s voice rang out, while he looked at Maye warily.

Now comes the most crucial part of the transaction: exchanging money for goods.

"Darkrai!" Xia Yu's voice rang out, and Darkrai's black figure appeared in the air, slowly approaching the box on the ground.

"Metamorphose!" Meyer also sent his Metamorphose closer to the iron cage trapping Andrew.

Xia Yu's gaze fell on Meyer's Metagross. Its azure metallic body gleamed with a faint luster, clearly indicating that this Metagross was well-trained and its strength had reached the terrifying Champion level!

This made Xia Yu even more nervous.

Metagross is one of Meyer's signature Pokémon, but it's not his strongest. As far as Xia Yu knows, Meyer has at least one stronger Cyclops and a Duraludon of similar strength!

As for whether there are any other hidden trump cards, Xia Yu has absolutely no idea.

This also means that Meyer has at least two Pokémon with Champion-level strength, and possibly one Pokémon with near-Master-level strength!

…………

Under Xia Yu's gloomy gaze, Darkrai moved closer to the briefcase, while Metagross also kept approaching Andrew's direction.

When the two sides got close enough, they accelerated almost simultaneously, and Darkrai hid the briefcase in another dimension.

Meanwhile, Metagross used its superpowers to bend the iron cage and rescue Andrew!

Darkrai immediately flew back to Xia Yu's side, and Andrew also returned to Meyer's side with Metagross.

"Goodbye, Champion Maye." Xia Yu smiled after receiving the items, but a thought of retreating arose in his heart. He wanted to leave immediately with Sylvia and Shui Yutu beside him.

“Mr. Sakaki!” But just then, Champion Meyer’s deep voice suddenly rang out, abruptly interrupting Andrew’s roar: “Don’t rush off, I still have something to tell you.”

At the same time, several Pokémon appeared beside Meyer.

Champion-level Sai Fuhao, champion-level Aluminum Steel Dragon, champion-level Nut Dumbbell, near-champion-level Scorpion King, and near-champion-level Key Circle!

The lineup was so luxurious that Xia Yu couldn't help but gasp for breath.

Is this the pinnacle of the British Empire's championship strength?

Apart from the support Pokémon Keychain and Gliscor, which are at near-champion level, all other Pokémon are at champion level.

…………

"Kill him! Father, kill him for me!"

Seeing his father unleash such a powerful Pokémon, and recalling the humiliation of the past few months, Andrew's expression became ferocious and twisted as he shouted loudly at Champion Meyer.

“Andrew!” Champion Maye turned to look at Andrew, her voice calm, as if coaxing a child: “Can you please be quiet while I’m speaking and not disturb me?”

Hearing Maye's words, Andrew's eyes showed a hint of fear. He knew his father better than anyone. His body trembled, and he nodded repeatedly through gritted teeth.

“Sakaki, have you ever considered working for me?” Meyer slowly removed his mask, revealing his resolute face. His blue eyes stared at Xia Yu. “You are very strong. As long as you agree to work for me, I promise you that not only will you take all these things, but your kidnapping of Andrew will also be wiped clean. Moreover, I will give you countless treasures and wealth.”

Chapter 520 Maye's Strength

Meyer remained extremely calm, her voice steady, staring at Xia Yu expressionlessly, her composure terrifying.

This extremely rational personality is like that of an emotionless robot.

Maye's voice was gentle, like that of an elegant gentleman: "I only need you to help me with some things that I can't do myself, and at the same time share the secret of giant Pokémon with me. As long as you agree, I guarantee to give you the maximum help to make you the underground king of Steel Fog City and even the whole world. See this Duraludon Pokémon egg with near-champion potential? As long as you agree, it's yours."

At this point, another Pokémon egg appeared in Meyer's hand: a near-champion-level Duraludon.

Seeing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel his heart race, and at the same time, he felt a deep sense of apprehension towards Maye.

Mayer's emotions were so stable, so rational it was frightening. Even when facing an enemy who had kidnapped her son and was extorting her, she could still calmly extend an olive branch and say that these things were wiped clean.

Xia Yu deeply suspected that Maye was even willing to abandon her own son, Andrew, for her own goals.
