Pokémon: Master System.

It's just a honey trap, I, Xia Yu, can handle it!

Although the scene was quite erotic and the atmosphere quite ambiguous, Xia Yu remained seated as still as a bell, unmoved: "Let's look at the other thing. Let's forget about the two of them."

“Alright, Mr. Sakaki.” Xie Shuen smiled, waved to the person beside him, and gestured to his subordinates to take the two back to Xia Yu’s room.

This kind of thing was already commonplace for him.

People's lifelong pursuits are nothing more than power, wealth, fame, strength, and women. For someone like Giovanni, all he can offer is women.

Therefore, he had been observing what kind of woman Sakaki liked since this morning.

From young and pretty girls to mature and sexy women, he placed them all in front of Sakaki. He noticed that Sakaki had glanced at all of these women, but he restrained himself.

This proves that Sakaki did have this desire, but he simply restrained it.

It's fine for people to have desires, because it's impossible for people to maintain absolute self-control forever; after all, people are not heartless machines.

As long as we take multiple approaches, we can always find a breakthrough.

For example, a pleasant mood, the stimulation of alcohol, an ambiguous atmosphere, aphrodisiac aromatherapy, plus a stunningly beautiful woman half-hidden, Xie Shuen believes that no one can resist such temptation.

One of these two women was bought by him at a high price, and the other was kidnapped just yesterday.

The former is a popular online influencer in China, and the other is a Chinese tourist visiting Golden City.

After having the two women taken away, Xie Shuen got up and walked to another large box. He then pulled down the curtain, revealing a Poké Ball.

Xia Yu frowned as he looked at the Poké Ball, quietly waiting for Xie Shuen to continue. What was this next?

"You all go out first." Xie Shuen dismissed the other irrelevant people, leaving only Xia Yu, Jiang Yu, Jiang Chengen, Xie Shuen, and Som in the private room.

Then Xie Shuen turned his gaze to Jiang Chengen and Jiang Yu, and slowly said, "Boss Sakaki, this Poké Ball contains a priceless treasure, and it is of great importance. I also hope that you can let Jiang Chengen and Jiang Yu leave the private room temporarily to avoid suspicion."

Seeing Xie Shuen's serious expression and earnest words, Jiang Yu's face darkened. As for Jiang Chengen, he remained calm and stood up directly: "Boss Sakaki, since this matter is of great importance, Xiao Yu and I will go out first."

Xia Yu smiled. The old hand was indeed an old hand; his suggestion to leave was just what he needed to avoid putting Xia Yu in a difficult position.

However, Xia Yu didn't care at all. He waved his hand lightly and slowly said, "Jiang Yu is my man, and I trust him."

Xie Shuen felt a little regretful, but since Xia Yu had already spoken, he could only continue, "This is also the biggest secret between me and Som, and the key to our unbreakable alliance. Today, after discussing with Som, we have decided to present it to you."

After saying that, Xie Shuen took out a Poké Ball and released the Pokémon inside.

Chapter 568 Redwood Kingdom

"boom!"

A red light flashed, and a pink Pokémon appeared in the private room. Its body was very small, about the size of a handkerchief.

Its tiny eyes are just like tadpoles, and its soft pink body makes it look rather cute.

Ditto?

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Xia Yu's face.

Although Ditto is a relatively rare Pokémon, it is definitely not as priceless as Xie Shuen described. This Ditto must have something special about it.

Xia Yu shifted his gaze to Xie Shuen beside him, quietly waiting for what was to come.

Sensing Xia Yu's gaze, Xie Shuen immediately ordered the Ditto in front of him, "Ditto, use Transform!"

Its soft, pink body emitted a gentle white light, and the Ditto's body twisted, stretched, and changed like clay.

Finally, Ditto's body was frozen into a pink cat-shaped Pokémon with its long tail floating in the air.

dream?!

This Ditto can actually transform into Mew?

Only then did Xia Yu finally understand why Xie Shuen dared to say that this Ditto was priceless.

It's important to know that for Ditto to transform into other people, objects, or Pokémon, there's a prerequisite: it must have seen them in person firsthand.

The fact that this Ditto can transform into Mew can only prove one thing: it has seen Mew before!

This also means that we could potentially find clues about Mew through this Ditto.

And Mew's genes are key to the development of Mewtwo!

Xia Yu's heart couldn't help but race; no Pokémon fan could resist the allure of Mewtwo.

…………

After the initial excitement subsided, Xia Yu quickly calmed down and shifted his gaze from the Ditto to Xie Shuen.

If it were really that easy to find Mew, Xie Shuen and Som would have already gotten their hands on Mew. Why would they need to offer this Ditto as a gift to themselves?

Xia Yu raised his head, his gaze intense, and slowly said, "I'm very curious, haven't you investigated the secrets of this Ditto?"

“Boss Sakaki.” Xie Shuen and Som exchanged a glance, a wry smile on their faces.

They had certainly investigated the secrets of this Ditto, but ultimately found nothing; otherwise, they wouldn't have offered it to Xia Yu.

“We’ve been investigating for years, but we haven’t found Mew. I think we might never find Mew with our abilities alone. Only a strong person like you has a chance to find Mew through this Ditto.” Xie Shuen flattered him silently.

Xie Shuen paused slightly at this point, then stood up and told Xia Yu about the origin of this Ditto: "We got this Ditto from a trainer from Redwood Country a few years ago after we fought a group of pirates in the sea."

"Because we killed the Ditto's trainer in that battle, we don't know the specific origin of this Ditto. We only know that this Ditto came from Redwood Country."

"Didn't you take this Ditto to Redwood Country to investigate?" Xia Yu asked the two of them.

“We’ve been there.” Xie Shuen and Som nodded. “We also had a Psychic-type Pokémon communicate with this Ditto, but the Ditto only remembers seeing Mew in a lush forest under a towering ancient tree when it was born, in a glowing green light. As for the exact location, it can’t remember.”

Hearing Xie Shuen's words, Xia Yu couldn't help but stroke his chin; this was indeed a tricky situation.

“We have crossed the ocean three times to investigate Redwood Country, but we have come up empty-handed each time,” Xie Shuen said seriously. “Moreover, during our third trip, we clashed with local experts in Redwood Country, which has already attracted the attention of the Redwood Country’s Pokémon Association. It will be difficult to conduct an investigation again next time.”

Xia Yu listened to Xie Shuen's words and nodded gently. So much had happened.

No wonder they were willing to offer up this Ditto.

"However, we didn't really come away empty-handed. Although we didn't find the Dream, we did get some useful information," Xie Shuen added. "The approximate location of that towering ancient tree has been basically determined."

"Either in the Planet Lung Wilderness Reserve."

"Either in the World Forest Secret Realm."

"But both of these places are guarded by several champions. Especially the Planet Lung Wilderness Reserve, which spans eight countries, and each country has sent at least one local champion to oversee it. We simply can't find an opportunity to infiltrate the Wilderness."

"The Other World Forest Secret Realm is the largest known grass-attribute secret realm in the world. The grass-attribute and water-attribute energies within it are extremely concentrated, and there are many experts within the secret realm. Not only are there experts from the Redwood Kingdom, but also experts from the Beautiful Kingdom. Last time we sneaked in, we were discovered in just a few minutes."

Hearing Xie Shuen's words, Xia Yu frowned, his gaze falling on the two of them, and slowly said, "Hearing you say that, I suddenly wondered if it's possible that Dream has already been subdued?"

"It's probably...unlikely." Xie Shuen thought for a moment and said, "At least I haven't heard of anyone catching Mew. Moreover, Mew is said to be a Pokémon with extremely high intelligence. It will only appear if you have a pure heart and a strong desire to see it. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to see Mew."

Xie Shuen paused slightly at this point: "Som and I guessed that if we find Mew's habitat, we could use this Ditto to attract Mew and maybe make it show itself."

"After all, this Ditto has seen a real Mew before!"

[Trigger the quest]

[Mew/Mewtwo]: Legend has it that Mew possesses the genes of all Pokémon, can learn all moves, and is the ancestor of all Pokémon. Please travel to Redwood Country to find the World Tree and traces of Mew, and obtain its genetic material to unlock the next quest.

The sudden task made Xia Yu pause slightly, but he quickly concealed his emotional fluctuations, his gaze falling on Xie Shuen, and he slowly said, "This gift is not bad, but unfortunately it's of no use to me right now. You know there are so many powerful people in the Planet Lung Reserve and the World Forest Secret Realm."

"Even I might not be able to get in. Even if I did, I might not be able to find Dream. And even if I did find Dream, I might not be able to subdue it."

"So this thing is like a chicken rib, tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xie Shuen and Som looked slightly embarrassed, but they had to admit that everything Xia Yu said was true.

"But this is also your thoughtful gift. It's clear you prepared it carefully, which is very nice. What kind of reward do you want?" Xia Yu paused slightly, his voice serious, "Don't think about Gigantamax Pokémon for now. Your contributions haven't been enough."

Chapter 569 Xie Shuen's Scheme

The atmosphere inside the private room was harmonious.

Drinking wine and drinking wine alternately, pushing cups and changing cups.

Som and Xie Shuen wore hearty smiles; it was hard to imagine that one was the head of the Xie family in Golden City and the other was the champion of the southern region of Siam.

Although they didn't get a Gigantamax Pokémon, the two of them didn't mind.

Because from the beginning, they never thought they could get a Gigantamax Pokémon with just this Ditto.

For them, the most important thing is to improve their relationship with Sakaki and build trust.

With Sakaki's immense strength, as long as you hitch a ride on his coattails, you won't have to worry about anything for the next few decades.

Unless Sakaki himself is foolish enough to do something reckless and deliberately provokes those truly top-tier experts.

…………

"Boss Sakaki, from today onwards, we are your most steadfast allies. Please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything you need us for," Xie Shuen said loudly, his face flushed.

"With you leading the way, our gold market's industries will surely grow bigger and stronger and create new glories."

"Young Master Jiang, although we have some misunderstandings, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. I'll drink this glass, and from now on we're brothers."

“Boss Sakaki, I can guarantee that in Golden City, in the southern region of Siam, absolutely no one will be able to cause trouble for Team Heaven... Team Rocket.”
