Pokémon: Master System

The three rode flying Pokémon, speeding through the sky as they searched for the two champions from Baekje.

"They should be around here." Xie Tianming held the secret realm communicator, constantly comparing it with the location sent by Sylvia, and said to Xu Xiu and Wu Muyang with a serious expression, "Five minutes ago, they passed by here and headed in this direction."

Xie Tianming pointed in a direction, paused slightly, and then continued, "They shouldn't have gone far. If we search carefully in the direction they left, we should be able to find their location soon."

Next, the three slowed down and searched carefully, leaving no suspicious location unchecked.

A few minutes later, while the three were still searching diligently in the mountains, the sounds of battle suddenly came from not far away.

Xie Tianming and Wu Muyang raised their heads at the same time, glanced at each other, and then suddenly turned to look at Xu Xiu.

"There's a battle ahead, it must be them!" Xie Tianming's voice rang out, and he asked Xu Xiu at the same time, "Should we go straight there?"

Xie Tianming turned to look at Xu Xiu, seeking his opinion. After all, Xu Xiu was the real decision-maker among the three, and their actions were decided by Xu Xiu.

"Hmm." Xu Xiu nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing in his cloudy eyes.

The three rode on flying-type Pokémon and flew towards the direction from which the sounds of battle were coming.

“These Pokémon have such high potential.” Lee Seo-jun said to Park Jae-yong with an excited expression, “Senior, we’ve only been here a short while and we’ve already encountered two Pokémon with Champion-level potential.”

Park Jae-yong nodded without changing his expression, his calm demeanor contrasting sharply with the excited look on Lee Seo-joon's face.

He slightly raised his head, glanced at Li Ruijun, his eyes cold and devoid of any joy. This unusual expression immediately brought Li Ruijun back to his senses. Realizing his loss of composure, he quickly suppressed the excitement on his face, lowered his head slightly, and became as respectful as an ostrich.

Only then did Park Jae-yong slowly look at Lee Seo-joon and say, "Now that we know this secret realm is full of treasures, let's not waste time on these Pokémon. Are you panicking because of a Pokémon with Champion-level potential? Hurry up and catch the Pokémon you just dealt with, and then immediately go find a Pokémon with higher potential."

"From now on, don't waste time on Champion-level Pokémon. At least catch Pokémon with near-Master-level potential!" Compared to the short-sighted Lee Seo-jun, Park Jae-yong clearly had a much longer-term vision.

Since it's easy to encounter Champion-level Pokémon in this secret realm, their target should be Pokémon with near-Master or even Master-level potential.

After all, the most crucial factor in judging a champion these days is the number of Master-level Pokémon they have.

Master Pokémon are like nuclear weapons; a champion without a Master Pokémon doesn't deserve to be called a champion. Only those who possess at least one Master Pokémon are qualified to be on the table.

Li Ruijun, standing before them, was the kind of good-for-nothing who didn't even deserve to sit at the table.

Park Jae-yong's cold gaze swept over Lee Seo-jun. To be honest, Lee Seo-jun was not qualified to be the champion at all, and he did not think Lee Seo-jun was qualified to be compared with him. It was only because Lee Seo-jun was usually very obedient and easy to use that Park Jae-yong would not have brought him out this time.

"Yes, senior." Li Ruijun bowed slightly and replied respectfully.

"Put all these Pokémon away and take them back. Then we'll set off immediately..." Park Jae-yong's words trailed off. He frowned and looked up at the sky.

With a series of whooshing sounds, three Flying-type Pokémon descended from the sky and landed beside them.

…………

"call!"

The wind howled.

The three Flying-type Pokémon landed steadily, creating a ring-shaped shockwave as they swooped down to the ground, sending grass flying and leaves swaying.

Three figures leaped down from the three Flying-type Pokémon.

When Park Jae-yong and Lee Seo-joon saw the three men's faces clearly, their pupils contracted and their faces showed unease.

Two of them were wearing dark red flame-patterned robes.

One person wore the Rockets' iconic Flame mask with a Firefist symbol, while the other did not wear a mask. However, upon seeing the man's aged face, both Park Jae-yong and Lee Seo-joon felt a cold sweat run down their backs.

Finally, there was another person wearing the uniform of the Fire-Breathing Dragon Special Operations Team, who was none other than Wu Muyang, the deputy captain of the Fire-Breathing Dragon Special Operations Team, who had previously clashed with Li Ruijun outside the secret realm.

The person is not good!

Xu Xiu leaned on a black metal cane, his cold gaze sweeping over Park Jae-yong and Lee Seo-joon before finally settling on Lee Seo-joon. His aged and hoarse voice slowly rang out: "You are Lee Seo-joon?"

Hearing Xu Xiu's question, Li Ruijun secretly swallowed, his gaze sweeping over Wu Muyang before landing on Xu Xiu. He had already recognized Wu Muyang and Xu Xiu, and his fear continued to rise, his body trembling slightly uncontrollably.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Although Xu Xiu's reputation is not as resounding as Sakaki's, he is still the number two player on the Rockets, and his strength is extremely terrifying, which they cannot contend with.

“I…I am Lee Seo-jun, the champion of Baekje.” Lee Seo-jun tried his best to keep his tone calm, while invoking the name of Baekje as he answered Xu Xiu.

"Boom!"

Xu Xiu placed his hands on the metal cane, tapped it lightly, and looked at Li Ruijun calmly: "As long as it's Li Ruijun."

"As for the rest you mentioned..." Xu Xiu's aged face revealed a mocking expression as he slowly spoke, "Is the Baekje champion useful?"

Xu Xiu's murderous intent made Li Ruijun's heart sink to the bottom. He became more and more afraid and looked at Xu Xiu with unease. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Senior Xu, we have no ill intentions. I think there must be some misunderstanding between us."

Li Ruijun lowered his posture, bowed slightly, and said sincerely to Xu Xiu, "Our Baekje Kingdom has always been friends with China. Senior Xu, Captain Wu, you must have misunderstood me. If I have done anything wrong, I will definitely correct it."

"Captain Wu, if you feel uncomfortable, I apologize to you. I apologize for my impulsive actions before."

"I'm sorry." Li Ruijun lowered his posture further, bowing at a ninety-degree angle, and apologized to Wu Muyang with a sincere tone and attitude.

At this moment, he was completely different from his arrogant demeanor outside the secret realm. To put it nicely, this was called being able to assess the situation and be flexible; to put it bluntly, this was called looking down on people and treating them differently depending on who they were.
