I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"Goodbye."

After waiting for Du's response, the little nurse fled away.

Watari sighed again and turned towards the door further down the corridor.

His eyes were complicated.

He was very familiar with the people living there.

When he was young, Du even suffered a great loss at the hands of that man.

Now, the two of them met again as an investigator and a prisoner, and no one knew who had taken the dashing hero's place.

This sense of contrast caused Du to feel complicated.

"..."

Du walked towards the door in silence, his footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

Finally, he stopped at the door of the ward, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and pushed the door open.

What caught my eye was a man lying on a hospital bed, looking out the iron window, his whole body wrapped in white bandages.

The outline under the bandages showed that this was a well-built man - a qualified trainer.

The few parts of his forehead exposed and his short flat-top hairstyle revealed the man's identity.

"Sakaki."

Du read out the man's name in a cold voice.

After a moment, he let out a mocking smile and said, "How did you, the leader of Team Rocket, the dark emperor who ruled two regions of the underground world, end up in this situation, even being apprehended by Interpol, the very organization you always despised?"

"......Ah."

After hearing Watari's ridicule, Sakaki, who was staring out the window motionlessly, was silent for a while, and then he sneered as well.

"You have no idea what...what a monster I met."

"Ok?"

This time, Du was really surprised.

You know, Sakaki is a very proud person.

Even though he was defeated by Chihong several times, he never showed such an expression.

It is even more impossible to call the person who defeated you a monster.

"Oh......"

Watari rubbed his chin, smiled thoughtfully, and said, "It seems like you've really hit a wall this time."

"Ah......"

Hearing this, Sakaki scoffed bitterly.

Watari didn't know who he was mocking, maybe he was mocking himself.

"It really is."

Sakaki turned his head slightly, and his sharp eyes swept over Watari.

However, Wataru now will not be shaken by Sakaki's gaze or words.

The Dragon King's figure is as tall and straight as his soaring red hair, and so is his mind.

"Hey."

Sakaki sighed at this.

As expected, there are so many heroes in the world.

While I was making progress and studying the second generation Mewtwo, Du, Red, and Cyan were also improving rapidly.

"Really, I hit a wall."

"Hey~"

Watari gave a wicked smile.

This was an emotion he didn't often show.

Only when facing Sakaki, the person who once defeated and humiliated him, would Watari, who always maintained a righteous attitude, show such a bad look.

"Tell me about it?"

"I originally thought he was just a brat with some connections, with at most some strength... I didn't expect him to be a real monster hiding his true potential." Sakaki was in a good mood at the moment. Even when faced with Watari who looked like he was deliberately trying to make fun of him, he didn't get angry or angry. Instead, he followed Watari's wishes and talked about his own journey, saying, "Perhaps, when I saw the Sinnoh Champion beside him, I should have understood that this guy was no simple character."

"Ok?"

Du frowned as he listened to his story.

Sakaki's narration gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Hidden behind the scenes...his true strength is as terrifying as a monster, capable of killing Sakaki with explosives.

He was accompanied by the Sinnoh Champion.

"hiss."

Du thought of someone.

Only that person meets those conditions.

"you."

Watari looked at Sakaki with a half-smile in his eyes and said, "Did you get hit by Rayquaza?"

"what?"

Sakaki was stunned for a moment, then his sinister eyes fell on Watari and he asked, "Do you know the details of that boy?"

"of course."

Du spread his hands.

This time, Du confirmed it.

At first, Watari was still wondering who could have made Sakaki drift around in the sea, and was finally picked up by the Interpol who passed by.

If it was the owner of Rayquaza, everything would make sense.

"so."

Watari crossed his arms, looked at Sakaki with a smile, and said, "You are holding a grudge against Ai Jun for ruining many of your plans and arresting your beloved Chakra and Lance, so you deliberately found an opportunity to attack him. In the end, Ai Jun showed off his Rayquaza and defeated you?"

"..."

Sakaki lay back on the bed, not saying a word.

Du looked at him, his heart filled with joy.

"No wonder Dayan couldn't find any information about him."

"Didn't you, Team Rocket, also carry out Project Mewtwo behind our backs?"

"really."

"That's incredible."

Du Lan said too much.

Now that the person who defeated Sakaki has surfaced, his mission on this trip has been accomplished.

What reward should be given to Ai Jun this time?

Hiss... Why does this kid refuse to have a Dratini that inherited super speed?

How good is Dragonite?

Thinking of this, Du opened the door and prepared to leave.

Before that, Sakaki called him and said, "Hey, Watari."

"what?"

"Silver, how's the kid?"

"Oh..." Watari paused, then responded to Sakaki seriously, saying, "That kid's gotten over his childhood trauma and is doing pretty well now. He's made a friend with a rather silly fellow. However, some Interpol officers want to question him. You're probably well aware of how difficult those guys are. With that group bothering him, his life isn't exactly comfortable."

"..."

After hearing Watari's answer, Sakaki fell silent, one hand tightly grasping the armrest of the bed.

The force was so great that it even left a mark on the armrest.

Du looked at him coldly.

"I admit that you are an excellent leader and a powerful trainer."

"But," he sneered, "you are not a qualified father."

"What did you say......"

Sakaki's voice was very hoarse and gloomy.

"Isn't it?"

"You've made your son live like a rat on the street. He doesn't even dare to attend any public events and enjoy the rights that a citizen should have."

"Yin." Du emphasized the name and said, "Aside from petty theft, this kid doesn't have any major problems... We've solved that problem in the past few years. Besides, his habit is because he has no family to rely on in this world. He has to make a living by doing this, otherwise he would starve to death."

Then, Watari looked at Sakaki with disdain, his tone filled with sarcasm, and said, "However, now that he has corrected his bad habits, it is because of you, his father, that he is constantly under the close scrutiny of the police and Interpol. He can't even enter the Pokémon Center to heal his Pokémon."

"..."

Sakaki was silent for the afternoon.

After a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "You're right."

"I'm an unfit father."

"really."

Du spread his hands.

Then he opened the door and walked out.

Sakaki was the only one left in the room again, and there was endless silence.

This kind of silence made Sakaki very unbearable.

He is not someone who is not used to being alone.

On the contrary, Sakaki enjoys solitude.

This is its privilege as the leader of Team Rocket.

However, now that Du had exposed his actions, which had only hurt the boy he loved the most, this loneliness seemed so torturous.

"silver......"

"correct."

Du's voice came from outside the ward.

"Out of humanitarianism, I will arrange for Xiaoyin to come visit you once... Of course, this depends on his own willingness."

Sakaki immediately responded to Watari's words, saying, "Please ask that Rayquaza trainer to come over as well. I have something to say to him as well."

Du didn't respond, and the footsteps faded away.

Sakaki confirmed that he heard it.

"Hey......"

Sakaki's sigh echoed in the ward.

This all-powerful underworld tyrant who ruled two regions was ultimately defeated by family ties.

He wondered if he really should change.

At least...let his son not be ashamed of himself.

At least, let his son live openly in the sun.

"..."
