Pokémon: The Road to the Champion of Full-Level Players

In the dark hall, there is a straight road in the middle. On both sides of the road are slender pillars like lampstands, only one meter in length. Black spheres are placed on the pillars, which are very similar to elf balls, but completely different.

There is also a mural at the end of the road, but there is only a starry sky above it. Under the mural, there is a broad and heavy chair, beautifully carved, and sitting on it is a middle-aged man who is covered by the darkness, looking calm and confident.

With blazing eyes, he stared at the people below to report the news.

"Sir, the Viridian Forest stronghold was destroyed a few days ago. The experimental reports and experimental products, as well as the person in charge were all arrested..."

The person reporting was obviously wearing expensive clothes, and his demeanor before speaking was also extraordinary. But at this moment, he actually looked uneasy.

As soon as the words fell, the dark hall suddenly fell into deathly silence, and everything was silent.

The middle-aged man on the chair had not spoken for a long time, which also led to the person reporting below not daring to continue speaking.

I don't know how much time passed, but finally a voice came from the deserted palace.

"What happened in the past few days, why are we reporting today?" Although the middle-aged man spoke, his words made the people reporting in the audience sweat.

The man lowered his head to his ears, not even daring to raise his head for a moment. Beads of sweat the size of mung beans hung from his forehead, but he didn't even have the courage to wipe them away.

"Is it so hot?" The middle-aged man stared at the people in the audience, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"No, I just..."

"Answer my first question!"

"Yes! Our intelligence system was interfered by unknown departments, which caused the delay in receiving intelligence until now."

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face was heavy and he said: "Is there any department in this world that can interfere with our system? Are you kidding me?"

The middle-aged man on the chair did not show any anger, but he was aloof. Just the change of tone and majestic momentum made it difficult for the people in the audience to breathe.

"Well, we speculate that the other party may be...from that place..."

"What do you think? That place? So you are still not sure about the origin of the other party, right?"

Every word of the middle-aged man sitting on the chair was like an ice pick, hitting the man who was reporting in the audience.

This made the man's mouth unable to utter any words, making him both anxious and timid.

Not paying attention to the changes in the demeanor of the people in the audience, the middle-aged man asked: "Who is the person who destroyed the Viridian Forest stronghold? Or which force is it?"

The man in the audience bowed his head and said: "According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, there are investigators from the Pokémon League appearing near the stronghold. Maybe..."

"Don't let me hear you say maybe, maybe, guess and other similar words again!"

The middle-aged man on the chair clearly spoke in such a calm tone, but the person making the report felt as if he was being crushed by a huge mountain and could not breathe.

"Yes, the presence of the investigators there must be related to the destruction of the stronghold. However, they are not the main actors."

"Oh? Who else can actually let the investigators cooperate with the operation and bring closure to them?" There was a trace of surprise in the middle-aged man's tone.

"We captured two vague figures from the surveillance equipment of the Joban Forest stronghold breaking in. This shows that the other party is two people, and we can judge from the outline... that they are a man and a woman. And the destruction of the Joban Forest stronghold It’s them... who are the ones."

Speaking of this, the voice of the person reporting was slightly trembling.

"Hahaha... Just two people can destroy one of my strongholds?! Are they waste? A lot of resources have been spent to provide them with experiments, but it was all in vain just because of two people?"

Anger finally appeared on the face of the middle-aged man on the stage. He stared at the man reporting below the stage, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Just the work of hiding the stronghold cost a lot of resources. But not only were you discovered, but you were also so stupid. What on earth did I train you for?!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man's expression surprisingly returned to calm, as if he was not angry in the first place. Such uncertain mood changes make others feel cold sweat.

"If there is no good news today, you know... the same is true for you guys."

His words were indifferent and without any emotion, and everyone present was frightened and shuddered.

After hearing this, several people around looked at each other. Among them, only the person who reports has the highest status, and because of this, he is the one who reports.

But who would have thought that other people who didn't speak out would be implicated.

They immediately racked their brains, thinking about what good news would make the adult on the stage let them go. Among them, people communicated with each other with eyes from time to time, seeming to be asking about the results of certain projects or plans.

After a while, they all started talking.

"Sir, the super energy equipment manager of the second branch and the foundation of the starship have been completed. I think it won't take long before we can..."

"Not enough! This can't make up for the loss." The middle-aged man on the stage immediately interrupted the report.

"Sir, the Third Branch has successfully found a suitable location for the ultimate plan. We..."

"Not enough, still not enough!"

"grown ups……"

"..."

On the side, the man who first reported on the work knew exactly what the adults on the stage wanted. After thinking about it for a moment, his eyes were as bright as shining stars.

He bowed his head and said: "Sir, in the past few days, experimental reports and data have been transmitted to the Ripan Forest stronghold. Because it is a general report, the data collection and other work are relatively complete. Think about it, they will not have any in just a few days. What new results?"

Someone beside the man immediately agreed, saying: "Yes, yes. Sir, the reports from the past few days in Viridian Forest are all kept in the database and kept intact."

At this time, someone else hurriedly said: "Yes, this greatly reduces the loss of the Viridian Forest stronghold. It is nothing more than the loss of some foreign objects, experimental subjects, equipment, and manpower."

The people around him all agreed and nodded slightly, as if they saw hope.

"What are you talking about? It's nothing more than some foreign objects? Don't you know that if these resources are given to the Pokémon Alliance, they will be enough to cultivate a large number of talents to deal with us, and it will be easier to find our stronghold, and Arrest!"

"They are actually complacent about this. They are really a bunch of losers. They fail to achieve anything but fail more than they do."

The middle-aged man on the chair glared at the people in the audience, and then said: "Check for me and find out the identities of the two people who destroyed the Viridian Forest stronghold."

"There are not many people in the world who can make the special investigators cooperate with their work!"

"Um...well, their identities..." The person reporting the report hesitated.

"What? Does this make it difficult for you?" The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

At this time, a guard came outside and said respectfully: "Sir, the cadres of the Twelve Stars are outside the door requesting an audience."

"Are all the twelve-star cadres here?"

"Yes, sir!" the guard bowed his head in response.

"Okay, it seems you are hiding something from me? Let them get out!" the middle-aged man said coldly, his eyes flashed with a cold light, as if it could penetrate a person's body.

For some reason, the guards in the audience were stared at by such eyes, as if their brains were frozen by an inexplicable chill. They were stunned in place and did not react immediately.

"Get them in!!!"

There were only a few lamps and candles emitting a faint light in the already dark hall. But the middle-aged man's cold voice was like a sharp cold wind, almost blowing out the weak candlelight, making everyone in the audience panic and timid.

"Yes..." The guard's expression suddenly changed, he was so frightened that he quickly bowed and left quickly.

His departure made the heartbeats of several other high-status beings become even more intense. They wished they could have the twelve-star cadres outside appear in front of them and others instantly to avoid any accidents.

But just like that, the accident still came.

"What happened to their identities you said before?" The middle-aged man on the seat looked at the person reporting in the audience.

Because he was sitting on a high platform and the surrounding light was weak, no one could see his face clearly, and it was also impossible to know the changes in his expression at this time. They could only judge his expression through the changes in his tone.

"Actually... we have found some clues." The person who reported it said anxiously.

"Oh? Hehehe... OK!" The middle-aged man laughed surprisingly.

But just such a low laughter, reaching the ears of several people in the audience, was like arrows piercing their ears, scaring them all to crawl on the ground and not daring to move.

"Didn't you say that the information was interfered with by that place and was only received today? Are there clues so soon? Hahahaha..." The middle-aged man on the seat laughed again, and the laughter became louder and louder. To human ears, this laughter is no different from the countdown to death.

At this moment, there was only one thought in their minds, and that was the hope that the twelve-star cadres would appear soon.

Jirachi, who was far away in the horizon, seemed to hear their strong expectations, as if it exerted its own ability to make their wishes come true.

Gu</span> The sound of rustling footsteps was heard. Several cadres kneeling on the ground looked behind them. Countless feet were walking towards them. They looked up at the owners of those feet, with tears in their eyes. , as if witnessing the arrival of light.

All the Twelve Star cadres came to them, half-knelt on the ground, put their hands on their chests, lowered their heads, and said in unison:

"I've seen adults!"

"Why are you all here?" When the middle-aged man saw that all the Twelve Star cadres were present, his tone became even lower, but his attitude did not change.

The leader Qian Ruyu did not answer the question, but asked: "Sir, I heard that the Viridian Forest stronghold was destroyed?"

"Haha, do you still have the nerve to ask me? You should have known this for a long time, right?" the middle-aged man on the seat said solemnly, his eyes piercing the darkness like arrows, enough for the people in the audience to see him The glimmer in the eyes.

Qian Ruyu hesitated for a moment, and finally answered: "Yes..."

"What? You still want to lie to me?" Seeing Qian Ruyu's hesitation, the middle-aged man shrouded in shadow sat quietly on the seat, one hand stroking the armrest on one side. It means that he is patient and restraining his thoughts of killing people.

"Sir, please don't be angry yet. There are some things that I still hope you can listen to before making a decision." Qian Ruyu said sincerely.

The middle-aged man stroking the armrest stopped, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Say!"

"Yes, sir! Our intelligence system was indeed interfered with by that place, but fortunately, the person in charge of the Viridian Forest stronghold used special communication methods to successfully convey the information to us." Qian Ruyu said.

"So you are reporting to me now. What do you gain?" the middle-aged man asked.

"We originally planned to wait until we could save something before reporting to you, and we did find out some clues. That is, one of the two people who destroyed the Viridian Forest stronghold was a member of the Viridian branch of the Kanto Region Trainers Guild. My name is Kyoko."

Qian Ruyu's words made Xi Yi and Xiao Luo, who were hiding in the dark, look at each other again. They could both feel the surprise in each other's eyes.

Xi Yi did know that Kyoko was being targeted by them, but she didn't know that it was Kyoko who wiped out the Viridian Forest stronghold that led to such a result.

On the seat on the high platform, the middle-aged man stared at the people in the audience, "It's just a little guy from the Guandong branch, but he can completely destroy my stronghold. It's really ridiculous, what a joke."

"What about the little guy? Bring him up!" the middle-aged man said coldly.

"Uh... um..."

The middle-aged man's words made everyone in the audience look at each other in shock. Not to mention them, even Qian Ruyu also murmured.

"What's going on!?" How could the middle-aged man not notice the problem.

"Sir, actually... we were not able to bring back the young man named Kyoko." Qian Ruyu finally revealed his worries.

"What!? What do you do for food? How come you didn't get caught?"

The middle-aged man's voice kept echoing in the vast palace. Sitting on the seat on the high platform, he looked down at the cadres below and almost crushed the armrests on both sides of the seat.

"Sir, we sent many strong men. Even if Yi Te tried to test them, they all ended in failure." Qian Ruyu said without confidence.

"It? Is that the one who is called the future star by the people below?" When the middle-aged man heard this name, his attitude changed significantly. It seemed that this person had a good performance in his impression. 7K妏揩

"Yes!" Qian Ruyu replied hurriedly.

"How many times have you fought with him?" The middle-aged man on the seat once again suppressed the anger in his heart, kept himself calm, and asked coldly.

"Enough as a hand."

"What's the result? Total defeat?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Failed to take advantage." Qian Ruyu could only answer like this.

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall became silent again, as if there was no one around, and there was no sound.

"there's one more thing……"

Qian Ruyu opened his mouth to break the silence and said: "Sir, when a deputy team mask from the Kanto headquarters and a team member Leng Yue were performing a mission, they discovered that that person's subordinates were the people who persecuted them in the first place, so They ultimately... chose to betray the organization."

"Kanto Headquarters? You have to report to me the betrayal of a team's deputy team and members? Just execute them on the spot!" The middle-aged man seemed to be suppressing something.

"Sir, those two people have some special identities. It was you who brought them into the organization in the first place! They both have extremely high talents, and their strength is even more impressive..."

"Leng Yue...mask..." After being reminded by Qian Ruyu, the middle-aged man thought for a long time and seemed to remember something, and said: "You are talking about Leng Yue, who is extremely unstable, and the mask that hides his true appearance. ?”

"It's those two." Qian Ruyu answered.

In the dark hall, a middle-aged man stood on the stage. When he asked questions, he just sat quietly on his seat. After receiving a response, he slowly raised a hand and slapped the armrest on one side hard.

Snapped!

boom!

On both sides of the walkway under the stage, the black spheres on the two stone pillars closest to the door changed, and black mist emerged from them, as if the incarnation of death had arrived, dragging everyone around them to hell.

The extreme chill swept over, and I am afraid that even Kyurem, who has the title of the strongest dragon, could not create such a terrifying chill.

Witnessing this situation, all the cadres were shocked. They crawled forward and begged the middle-aged man on the high platform to forgive them.

Among all the people, only the Twelve Star cadres did not take any action. Although they were half kneeling on the ground, they were obviously much calmer than other cadres. But that was only relatively speaking, they were actually equally uneasy.

"There is really no good news. Have you decided how to end your stupid life?" The middle-aged man finally spoke again, but without any emotion.

"Sir, there is actually some good news." Qian Ruyu said hurriedly.

"Say!"

"We found this." Qian Ruyu took the jade bead handed by his companion behind him and lifted it up for the middle-aged man on the stage to watch.

"Sir, this is one of the keys to open the door. The future opportunities are already in our hands!" Qian Ruyu said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the black mist released from the two spheres placed on both sides of the door.

If someone could see through the black mist, they would be able to spot the figures inside, which are a black armored dragon with a tail tail and three evil dragons. The pupils of the two Pokémon were unusually crimson, as if they were wrapped in blood.

The middle-aged man on the high platform waved his hand to signal the two Pokémon to stop moving. He stared at the jade bead in Qian Ruyu's hand without saying anything.

At this moment, a Pokémon that looked like a cormorant flew in from nowhere. Its body is covered with blue feathers, while the feathers on its chest are light blue. Its pupils are green. This Pokémon's wings are slightly shorter than those of ordinary birds, and it is astonishingly capable of swallowing the Pokémon - Ancient Moonbird.

The Ancient Moon Bird flapped its wings, used its long sharp beak to pick up the jade beads, and then gave them to the middle-aged man on the seat.

The middle-aged man rubbed the jade bead in his hand, looked up and down at the jade bead, and said slowly: "Chase the mask and Leng Yue, and don't leave anyone alive."

"Yes!" All the cadres in the audience said in unison.

At this moment, Qian Ruyu asked tentatively: "Sir, do you want to bring the body back?"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man's hand stroking the jade beads stopped. Qian Ruyu noticed this and thought that he had said something wrong. He quickly wanted to make up for it, but unexpectedly, the middle-aged man spoke first.

"Bring it back. If you can't bring it back... forget it." The middle-aged man's voice was low.

Qian Ruyu didn't know why, but she always felt that what the middle-aged man on the high platform said just now had an overtone.

"By the way, there is one more good thing. Sir, the person in charge of the Viridian Forest stronghold once sent a message that among the man and woman who destroyed our stronghold, the young man named Kyoko seems... to be a perfect experimental subject. It can absorb Delta star gas very well." Qian Ruyu looked like he just remembered it.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Xiao Luo and Xi Yi who were hiding in the dark became serious. They knew that the grudge between Kyoko and this force could not be resolved no matter what.

"A perfect experimental subject?" the middle-aged man murmured to himself. He regained his composure and then said: "Catch him back and take one of them with you."

He was naturally referring to the staff-tailed scale-armored dragon and three evil dragons wrapped in black mist below.

"Yes!" Qian Ruyu was overjoyed. He looked at the two Pokémon behind him, and after careful consideration, he finally chose the Scalyptus.

Just when the cadres in the audience were about to resign and go to carry out the middle-aged man's mission, something unexpected happened.

"Why are these two champion kids here uninvited? We've been watching for so long, why don't they show up?"

As soon as these words came out, Xi Yi and Xiao Luo's pupils shrank suddenly. While their eyes faced each other, they also had a common voice deep in their hearts, "How could it be!?"

The middle-aged man on the seat lowered his head and said, shrouded in darkness, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "If you don't want to leave, then stay..."
