Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

"What do you mean by expanding the ocean area and increasing the land area? Tsk, if you're going to be a villain, just be a villain. Why bother with values ​​and ideals?"

"Since you've already been arrested, why don't you tell me where your naval fleet is hiding? That way, I'll consider it a surrender on your own, how about that?"

Quan glared coldly at Lu An.

Lu An knew that Shui Wutong was quite capable.

He's clearly a villain who wants to use Kyogre to conquer the world, yet he insists on imbuing his "company" with a set of values.

Ironically, the "workers" of the Water Fleet, such as Quan and Di, actually believed in Water Wutong's evil ways and worked for him faithfully.

Getting her to betray Shui Wutong won't be that easy.

Therefore, Lu An did not waste any more time on her and turned to leave.

Gym Leaders Michael and Asa are dealing with the aftermath of Team Aqua. They need to hand over the team members and also make arrangements for Professor Solance.

Although he did not intend to do anything bad, he ultimately provided considerable assistance to the Aqua Team's operations, so it is necessary to discuss how to deal with him.

In addition, Mikkuri also had to report the matter of the second red orb to the Alliance.

Thinking of this, Mikoli glanced at Lu An, who had come to his side, his expression complicated.

Lu An immediately saw what Mikoli was thinking, and he smiled: "Just tell the Alliance everything you've seen."

Lu An didn't care at all about the trouble that the red gem might cause later.

The alliance only needs to confirm that the red pearl of Mount Songshen has not been stolen, therefore what Lu An has in his possession is his own legitimate property.

As for his own belongings, Lu An had no intention of handing them over.

Besides, he wouldn't just sit around with this thing to wake up Groudon and play with it.

Perhaps some members of the League will criticize him and the Investigators for the importance of the Red Orb to the Hoenn region, putting pressure on him and the Investigators to hand over the Red Orb.

After all, Mikoli had personally witnessed Lu An reviving the volcano with the red orb in his hand.

But where is the evidence?

He had already stuffed the red gems into his system space, so now the only thing Lu An had on his body that was red was his underwear.

Who can prove that he had the red jewel?

If it were someone else holding the red orb, they might worry that the Alliance might resort to some minor violence to obtain it.

But who is Lu An?

Use force to subdue Lu An?

Even if Steven and Michael team up, they wouldn't dare say they could subdue Lu An. Who else in the entire Hoenn region could do that?

Moreover, given their personal relationship, Daigo and Mikuri might not necessarily side with the League.

Therefore, although exposing the Red Orb will indeed cause trouble, it might put him on the Hoenn League's list of key targets for investigation.

However, without evidence and without the strength to do so, the alliance will not easily take action against him.

After all, he had an investigator organization standing behind him. No matter how much those old men usually disrespected him, they still knew whose side to take in this kind of situation.

Therefore, Lu An did not want to put his friend Mikoli in a difficult position, so he told him to report everything to the Alliance.

Mikoli gave Lu An a grateful look.

Unlike Lu An, who was from Kanto, Mikoli was a member of the Hoenn system, and he didn't want to fall out with the Alliance unless absolutely necessary.

With the two Gym Leaders, Mike and Asa, around, Lu An stopped worrying about Team Aqua and returned to the two Eevee to quietly wait for the treatment to end.

While waiting, Lu An casually sent a message to Yashida: How's the Lei Gong matter going?

Lu An received the message shortly afterward.

Yashida: We failed.

Lu An was not too surprised by this.

The fact that Entei and Suicune haven't left yet, but are instead treating Eevee at the crater, suggests that Raikou should be out of danger.

Moreover, after the appearance and disruption caused by Emperor Yan and Suijun, it was no easy task to subdue Raikou with the combined efforts of the three sacred beasts.

Lu An thought for a moment and then sent another message: If you want to tame a divine beast, wouldn't it be better to try communicating with it and gaining its approval than to plan meticulously?

Legendary Pokémon are sentient beings, unlike ordinary Pokémon. Sometimes they will seek out trainers they want to partner with.

In the original manga, Crystal, the female protagonist of the Johto region, gained Suicune's approval after her battle with him and became his partner in the subsequent battle against Masked Man.

Perhaps instead of simply trying to subdue them, trying to become their partner would be a better approach.

It took some time for Ashida on the other end to reply:

I understand, brother. Thank you for your suggestion. I'll consider it. By the way, have you found Emperor Yan yet?

Lu An took a picture of Emperor Yan treating Ibu and sent it to Ashida:

Everything went smoothly. Thank you so much, Brother Ashida. I owe you a huge favor.

This was the first time in the past two days that Lu An had taken the initiative to address Ashida as "brother," and he was indeed very grateful for Ashida's help in finding Emperor Yan.

After all, if it weren't for his intelligence network, Lu An would have had a hard time finding out the Yan Emperor's whereabouts in such a short time, so this "brother" was not just flattery.

Ashida was clearly well aware of the significance of Lu An's words; this was a favor from Lu An!

Therefore, Ashida's messages were full of cheerful laughter:

It's nothing, it's my honor to be able to help you, bro, hahaha!

Lu An: I'm done with my business here. Bro, when are we going to the Battle Frontier?

Ashida paused for a moment before replying. Although the two weren't face-to-face, Lu An could sense a hint of hesitation in her words:

Um, bro, it's like this, we haven't subdued Lei Gong yet, right? And we don't want to give up yet, so we're going to try again.

Lila is also quite interested in sparring with a trainer of your skill level after catching Raikou, so you see...

Lu An suddenly realized that Ashida was originally planning to spar with Lei Gong after Lila captured him, but now that Lei Gong had escaped, he felt it would be a waste to send Lu An to fight the frontier area now.

Lu An: But I have already accomplished my goal of finding Emperor Yan, and I should return to Guandong soon.

Ashida: If you'd like, my friend, you can visit the Frontier Area when you come to Hoenn later. I'll do my best to be a good host for you.

Lu An: Okay.

Lu An put away his communication equipment. Now that he had communicated with Ashida, he wasn't in a hurry to go to the Battle Frontier. After meeting with Elder Hachi and receiving the Swampert, he could return to Kanto.

Just then, Lu An felt the scorching heat around him slowly subside.

Emperor Yan's treatment has ended.
