Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Lu An tried to relax as much as possible.

Calm down and think about it. The system said that this time it wasn't any of the Rockets' executives who came.

In other words, poison expert A-Ju is not involved in this operation.

This is relatively good news for him.

If Ah Ju, who is skilled in using poison, were present, he would have insisted on ending this expedition prematurely.

The reason is that the thirty-odd people present were no match for A-Ju's Poison-type Pokémon.

Haven't you seen in the special episode that even Professor Oak's grandson, the exceptionally talented Trainer, Blue,

In their first encounter, he was defeated by A-Ju, and even his mind was controlled by her.

If Crimson hadn't arrived in time to save Green, who knows how things would have turned out.

Faced with such a large number of people, the elusive A-Ju was even more troublesome than Sakaki.

Thankfully, A-Ju wasn't there.

Knowing in advance that the Rockets were secretly watching him, as long as he was careful and found the Rockets members as soon as possible, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

However, we should still keep something in reserve.

Thinking of this, Lu An took out his phone and sent a location:

“dd”.

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Lu An released both Sun and Moon Eevee.

Then, looking at the three people from room 438 beside him and Huizi, he gave them a word of advice:

"After we enter the ruins, don't wander around. Something's not right about this event."

Seeing Lu An's serious expression, Gangjie sidled up to Imai and covered his mouth to chuckle.

"I didn't expect Lu An to get so into character, already immersing himself in the role. Or is he actually a little afraid of ghosts?"

Huizi grabbed Lu An's sleeve and nodded earnestly with her pretty face: "I will always be with you, Lu An, don't be afraid."

Clearly, these two guys completely missed Lu An's hint.

Muto stared blankly at the two Eevee standing next to Lu An, thinking to himself:

Just how strong is Espeon?

Espeon is already at least an elite-level Pokémon, so what about Umbreon? Could it also be an elite Pokémon, or even stronger?

Only Imai glanced at the serious-looking Lu An with a hint of doubt, and frowned slightly.

Horio, the expedition leader who led them into the ruins, paid no attention to their conversation, assuming they had already blended in with the environment.

So the four people from room 438, along with Keiko and Ohno, entered the ruins as the third group.

Three minutes later, the fourth group of students will also enter the ruins under the guidance of the adventure club officers.

……

In Lavender Town, Harry, one of the squadron leaders of Team Rocket, is overseeing a laboratory where several biological experts are conducting experiments.

Just then, a man dressed in black came up to Harry and whispered a few words in his ear.

Harry frowned:

"Thirty or forty people have come to Ziyuan Town? What are they doing in this cemetery town so late at night?"

"According to the information on the bus, it seems that members of the Golden University Adventure Club from the neighboring Golden City are preparing to explore the Ruins of Purple Garden."

Harry waved his hand: "These college students haven't been through the trials of life yet. They're just bored out of their minds. Don't worry about them."

Harry picked up a toothpick and started picking his teeth, then suddenly stopped:

"Wait a minute, which ruins did they go to? Is it that one?"

The Rockets members nodded.

Harry pondered for a moment: "That place, well, I'm just sitting here anyway. I'll go chase them away and play with them a bit."

……

Upon entering the ruins, a musty, ancient smell filled the air.

"Flap flap flap!"

The sonic bats flapping their wings and the web-weaving spiders were all exposed in their true forms under the flashlights of the expedition officers.

After entering the ruins, Lu An carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Since the system has already stated that Team Rocket has noticed their group and is secretly watching them, it means that there must be traces of them among them.

Lu An's goal was to uncover their hidden methods before they could take action against the students.

Although Lu An is now a college student, his long-standing identity as an investigator allowed him to switch identities the moment he discovered Team Rocket.

Now, he's not just a college student, he's a male college student! (Just kidding.)

No one, including Muto and Ohno, saw that the red bead on Espeon's forehead was emitting a soft glow.

That's a sign that Espeon's psychic powers are quietly activating.

Under Lu An's instructions, Umbreon had already concealed its presence.

Unlike Lu An, who appeared relaxed but was nervous inside, Gang Jie, who had been laughing and joking outside the ruins, had been tightly gripping Lu An's sleeves with Hui Zi on either side ever since they entered the ruins.

Lu An felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He had to find Team Rocket's whereabouts!

His original plan was to pretend to be scared or frightened after entering the ruins, or to quietly slip away from the group.

But now that Keiko and Gosuke have locked him up on both sides, how can he move alone?

Lu An was speechless: "Gang Jie, weren't you just acting all arrogant?"

Gangjie retorted stubbornly, "I, I'm not afraid at all..."

"It's just because the flashlight is too dim, and I can't see the road clearly, so I have to hold onto you."

"This is to prevent us from getting separated, not because we're scared!"

Lu An didn't even bother to complain about this tsundere guy.

Horio, leading the way, was responsibly introducing the ruins:

"This site appears to be a place commemorating the spirits of the dead. There are some sacrificial paintings inside. If we go a little deeper, we can see those exquisite paintings."

“In the morning, the elves in this ruin are not very active; we can only see traces of them at night.”

"For example, poison-type Poison-types like Arbok and Nidoran, as well as Geodude and Dugtrio."

Just as Horio was diligently adding historical context to the ruins, Lu An suddenly reached out towards a certain spot:

"Hey, have you guys seen anything over there?"

What could possibly be here? The scare point they'd agreed on with the expedition leaders hasn't arrived yet.

Horio shone the flashlight over without a care in the world.

"what!"

In a dark little corner, several round silk spiders, startled by the light, quickly hid.

However, a figure was completely exposed in the flashlight beam.

It was none other than Ohno, one of the first to enter, and the president of the exploration club!

"President Ohno!"

Horio was shocked. Their president was standing motionless in the corner, his eyes rolled back and his hands outstretched, looking like a zombie.

This wasn't part of their scare plan. What is the president doing?

Horio and the others quickly walked to Ohno's side and reached out to shake Ohno's body.

Strangely, Horio's hand passed right through Ohno's body.

Everyone was surprised, and upon closer inspection, they found that there was no trace of Da Ye in that corner.

It's clearly a large, human-shaped rock!

Just as Horio was confused about what was going on, Gosuke's voice came from behind him, trembling:

Has anyone seen Lu An? I can't see him anywhere.

Horio, Muto, and the others turned around abruptly, only to find that Lu An, who had just been sandwiched between Gosuke and Keiko, had completely disappeared!
