Pokémon: I'm a detective, not the sixth one.

After listening to Lu Yi's plan, Xia Bo stood up without objection.

He stretched his muscles and waved to Picosi.

"Call Moltres, Arcanine, Infernape, Cinderella, Bandicoot, and Wall-Eye. I'll take the six of them out for a while, and you'll be in charge of looking after the house."

(Legendary PS: Since this work strictly refers to the original plot, all the partner elves that appear around Xia Bo have a basis for verification. The following is a picture.)

Picosi nodded obediently, then ran happily to the center of the volcano.

Lu Yi was a little puzzled: "Grandpa, are you only taking six friends with you? Why not call a few more, so you can have an extra insurance!"

"No need." Xia Bo smiled and shook his head.

"The old buddies I called, except for those who are proficient in dragons like A'du, are not very confident. The rest of the kings or regional champions of any attributes in the world can't withstand more than three moves from me. What's more, the person you want to capture is just a girl!"

Hearing this, Lu Yi was a little surprised. Could it be that the old man was too confident in his own abilities?

According to Lu Yi's memory, Xia Bo did hold a very high position among the older generation of strong men, and his lineup, which was almost like that of a divine beast man, was definitely luxurious! But the old man actually said that most of the kings and regional champions couldn't even last three moves in his hands? ?

Is this true?

As Xia Bo was speaking, he had already walked out of the research institute with Lu Yi and Lina.

He deliberately put Rotom back into Rikuichi's pocket in case he encountered danger that he could not deal with.

"Kid, you have to know that the 'long-distance transmission device' in your backpack is not that magical. Its working principle is, in the final analysis, a portable transmission terminal.

Think about it, if you leave your Pokémon at the Poké Center, how do you call them back? "

"Of course, I'll ask Miss Joy to transmit it manually." Lu Yi affirmed.

Xia Bo nodded, "Yes, I am the same. Now that you have conquered more and more elves, if you want to rotate them in the future, I will have to stand in front of the transmission terminal and manually transmit the little guys you need!

But now I'm going out, and look at our research institute, there's not even a living person! If I want to call other elves to my side anytime and anywhere, I have to trouble Picosi for help, so it has to stay and watch over the house.

However, exchanging Pokémon is actually quite troublesome. Usually, new trainers adjust their lineups carefully in order to be fully prepared before the gym competition. For an experienced old man like me, if I contact Pixie, it only means that all the old friends around me have lost their fighting ability and need to exchange the entire lineup. "

As he spoke, Xia Bo showed Lu Yi six fingers, and at this time the Moltres had already landed in front of them.

"Lu Yi, Lina, listen carefully. The most suitable number of Pokémon for a trainer to carry is always and can only be 6! Because human energy is very limited, it is absolutely impossible to take care of everything in a chaotic battlefield. In many cases, carrying too many Pokémon may cause your combat power to decline!"

While instructing the two juniors, Xia Bo gestured for them to ride on the extremely oppressive Moltres.

Lu Yi sat astride the Moltres' back and reached out to pull Reina, and the two of them immediately felt a sense of warmth and comfort.

It is said that fire-attribute Pokémon can control their own flames, and the blazing flames on their bodies are closely related to their vitality and mood. Even hot-tempered creatures like Infernape, Infernape, and even Moltres will never burn a human they recognize!

Xia Bo continued, "Okay, I'll give you more detailed information about Pokémon later when I have time. For now, let's go to that isolated island and get ready according to our previous plan!"

……

Half an hour later.

When the Moltres found the isolated island in the sea according to the location given by Lu Yi, it and Xia Bo fell silent at the same time.

This place... seems like I've been here before!

Old Master Xia looked around and glanced at the high mountain in the distance. If I remember correctly, there should be a secret base of Team Rocket halfway up the cliff of that high mountain, right?

Before, when he was still studying genetic factors in Team Rocket, he was arranged by the organization to come here for emergency assistance. At that time, the large cage that held wild Pokémon was broken, and Xia Bo personally repaired it.

However, due to the perfect confidentiality mechanism within Team Rocket, Xia Bo did not know where he came from and the coordinates of the isolated island. It was not until this moment that he realized that this place looked familiar!

So the question is, should the old man tell Lu Yi that he is very familiar with this place...

"Cough cough..."

Xia Bo coughed twice lightly, and his clever bald head was carefully organizing his words.

"Reina, please go to the seat I gave you and wait for Miss Kikuko." Xia Bo wanted to get rid of Reina as soon as possible and talk to Lu Yi slowly about the rest in private.

Lina nodded seriously, then entered the island forest alone.

The location they chose to land was relatively remote, so even if Reina acted alone and the target person was already in place and monitoring everything, there was no need to worry about being recognized.

Because the three trading locations set up by the other party are too far away from here.

"Grandpa, let's start heading for the target beach." Lu Yi looked at the location information provided by Rotom and asked Xia Bo.

"Okay, take your time, no need to rush. There's still more than an hour before they deliver the goods." Xia Bo replied calmly, with a vague association in his mind.

It is known that the girl that Lu Yi is tracking down is basically confirmed to be a 9-star hunter of the Hunter Guild. So is her appearance on this isolated island a coincidence?

You know, the Rockets chose a very particular place to set up their secret base, which is definitely difficult for ordinary people to find. And this isolated island is almost independent of the southwest waters of the Kanto region. How could the girl know that there is an island here? How could she go to such a place to hunt Pokémon?

All these coincidences and strangeness made Xia Bo feel alert.

This island should be closely monitored by the remnants of Team Rocket. If the girl came here to hunt elves, she would inevitably be discovered or even expelled by Team Rocket. But she was like nothing happened and even had time to order perfume!

There are two possibilities. One is that this girl named Angie has a dual identity. She is a high-star hunter in the Hunter Guild and a member of this secret base, a senior cadre of the Rocket Team.

The second possibility is that the caretakers of this base have been killed by her, and it can even be said that her hunting target is all the Pokémons in the secret base of Team Rocket!

The more Xia Bo thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was not simple. Lu Yi once said that the girl's fighting level, in addition to her extraordinary innate superpowers, the fighting power of the elves around her should be comparable to Lu Yi. After all, Lu Yi once commanded Growlithe to defeat Angie's Haunter in a competition!

With this level of skill, it is impossible to destroy a secret base! That means this An Qi has other helpers!

"Fortunately, I have made sufficient preparations..."

Xia Bo sighed silently and secretly made a decision in his heart.

Lu Yi's ears twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at Xia Bo in confusion.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

"No, it's okay!"

Xia Bo evaded the question with a smile, but ultimately did not reveal all of his past experiences.
