I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

"Oh?"

Sakaki frowned, a little confused by what Watari said.

He put his hands in his pockets and said, "What do you want to say?"

"Like I said, when I was a kid, there was no airport in Evergreen City."

Du grabbed the railing in front of him and said, "Now, Changqing City has two international airports, one in the north and one in the south. All the heavy industrial factories that polluted the environment have disappeared, replaced by light industries that are convenient for the people and do not pollute the air and rivers. There is also the Changqing Forest."

"People are becoming more prosperous, and everyone's faces are full of smiles. Even... many wild Pokémon in the Evergreen Forest like to build nests near Evergreen City."

Watari looked out at the city below him, a look of emotion on his face.

His eyes were full of emotion.

Then, Watari looked at Sakaki beside him, recounted the credit of the person who caused all this, and said: "All this is thanks to you."

"Mr. Sakaki..."

"..."

Sakaki remained silent, his eyes complicated.

Watari didn't know what this man was thinking.

But, Du knew what he was thinking.

There are some things that must be said.

"You are a sinner, but you are also a hero... At least to everyone in Viridian City, you are an out-and-out hero."

Du talked about the past.

That is the story that happened after Sakaki became the gym leader of Viridian City.

It goes without saying that Sakaki is a very intelligent person.

For a man with a business acumen who became a gym leader with power and influence comparable to that of a mayor, he was full of passion and ambition. Faced with the Evergreen City, which was in a state of disrepair, it was natural for him to do something big and realize his ambitions.

Under his management and advocacy, Changqing City gradually eliminated heavy industries that polluted the environment.

They developed their own direction and moved forward in that direction.

Sakaki, who has a natural affinity for evergreen forests, developed this forest.

Since then, Changqing City's economy has been on the rise.

People's lives have improved, and Evergreen City and Evergreen Forest have improved as well.

Watari, who was also born in Viridian City, witnessed everything Sakaki did.

This is exactly why he has complicated feelings about Sakaki.

Sakaki is a talented person.

Seeing a talented person being thrown into prison like this, even Du, who has a strong sense of justice, couldn't help but feel a sense of regret.

fine......

"Fortunately, that person is here."

Thinking of that young man, Du couldn't help but force a smile.

That person did something incredible.

He actually persuaded Sakaki to be good.

This is an incredible feat...

Team Rocket disbanded and Team Rainbow Rocket was born.

Compared to the mysterious black hole, the warm and gentle rainbow is what people truly desire.

The unforgivable Sakaki now has a chance to atone for his sins, which brings new hope to the Kanto and Johto regions, which have been ruled by many dark organizations for many years.

This... reminded Du of his previous ideals.

To create a better world.

That person's love for Pokémon is no less than his own.

"..."

Du smiled and looked at the night sky.

The pitch-black starless night was suddenly filled with bright stars, like the sky clearing up after the rain.

"Well, please give me your guidance."

Watari looked at Sakaki seriously and extended his hand.

"Mr. Sakaki from the Rainbow Rocket."

"......Heh." Looking at the hand that Watari extended, Sakaki suddenly laughed.

There seemed to be something in his eyes that was not there before.

Finally, Sakaki held the hand.

"Please give me your guidance, the Four Heavenly Kings."

This time, they are no longer enemies.

Chapter 293 You three, follow me!

In the dark forest, one dark figure after another ran through.

They ran in an orderly manner, stepping on the grass under their feet, and the rustling sound spread in the quiet night.

The men in the same black uniforms each went under a big tree and hid themselves.

Their faces were all hidden under special masks, with only their eyes exposed.

There was a strange symbol painted on the corners of these people's clothes, indicating their identities.

It's an orange sign with the letter R in it.

They're Team Rainbow Rocket!

"First shift, take your positions."

The leading man in black pressed the headset on his ear and reported the progress on his side.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of surging electricity, the sound from the other side also reached his ears.

"Stay where you are."

"Second shift, take your positions."

"Third shift, take your positions."

"Fourth squad, take your positions."

The sounds of several teams taking up their positions continued to be heard, and the captain who was reporting on his work also tilted his head to look ahead.

The forest was dark, but with the help of night vision goggles, he saw a steel fence hidden between the trees in the distance.

That was the target of their operation, a hidden base of the old Team Rocket.

Hidden there is a bunch of old Team Rocket diehards who don't want to join Team Rainbow Rocket.

"Humph."

Looking at the iron net, the captain seemed to see the gate hidden behind the iron net.

He snorted coldly, his face full of disdain and contempt for these diehards.

Without Boss Sakaki, what can these people achieve?

Following Boss Sakaki is the best way out!

That's right, the captain is an absolute fan of Sakaki.

Since the first day he joined Team Rocket, he has been developing himself according to Sakaki's path.

This includes the attributes of Pokémon you're good at, as well as your fighting style.

He is a trainer specializing in ground attributes.

Therefore, this person relied on his powerful strength to become the captain of this special operations team.

After Sakaki proposed the Rainbow Rocket Team initiative, the captain immediately chose to support it and became a member of the Rainbow Rocket Team.

Today, he joined the encirclement and suppression operation.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"Stay where you are."

After hearing the question from the team member behind him, the captain responded without hesitation.

Then, this team seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and there was no movement at all.

It's like it's really blending into the trees...

The same thing happened to the other three teams in the other three directions.

They stayed on standby, all quietly waiting for the direct gaze of the commander of this operation.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The forest at night was silent, like a ghost town.

However, the members of this team are all elite members of the Rainbow Rocket Team.

They will not complain about the boredom of the ambush work, but will just do their duty diligently and stay at their posts.

until......

"Demolition team, take your positions."

A hoarse voice came from the headset.

"Demolition Squad?"

The captain looked surprised.

At first, he didn't know who was leading this operation.

But after hearing the name of the blasting squad, a name flashed through his mind.

That was the name that everyone in the old Rockets team passed on by word of mouth.

One of the three leaders of the old Team Rocket...

"I'm Ma Zhishi!"

A rough and heroic voice came from the headset, and he gave his name.

As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the special operations team, who had been lurking like ghosts without making any noise for the past half hour, all let out an involuntary cry of surprise.

This name... is known to everyone.

Ma Zhishi, the gym leader of the Vermilion Gym, is also one of the three cadres of the old Rocket Team.

He has extremely high prestige and many admirers in the old Rocket Team and even in the current Rainbow Rocket Team.

Unexpectedly, this person who had left the old Rocket Team a long time ago has returned to the Rainbow Rocket Team and become the leader of this encirclement and suppression operation.

"Now, let's deploy the combat methods for this operation."

Ma Zhishi made strategic deployment through public channels.

In short, he personally led the demolition squad to conduct a frontal invasion. Outside, four special operations teams had been deployed in four directions to surround the secret base and were responsible for supporting and blocking the base to prevent anyone from escaping.

"First shift, read it."

The captain responded immediately.

This was followed by responses from the other three team leaders.

This is a very simple and crude plan.

However, it is useful...

All this is thanks to the strength of Ma Zhishi himself and the blasting team he led.
