Elves: Goal, help Pokémon fulfill their wishes

"So, we are going to the port now, take a boat to a place called 'Cat Island', and then participate in a 'Cat Club' organized by the 'Best Cat' selection contest?" Liang Yin was a little confused.

In his memory, things like "Cat Island", "Cat Club" and "Best Cat" seemed to have never appeared in the animation - could it be that he missed a part of the plot?

"No, the plot of Pokémon is usually presented in the form of unit dramas. So if something happens in the period between two different units, it is not something the audience can know." However, without waiting for the three members of Team Rocket to respond, Liang Yin quickly figured out the crux of the problem on his own.

As for the reason for participating in this selection contest, he just combined it with Meow Meow's commission introduction and guessed it roughly.

"Meow Meow wants to increase her weight in Sakaki's heart through this competition and to please him." Liang Yin said secretly in his heart.

Next, the explanation given by Kojiro also successfully verified his guess.

However, what Liang Yin did not expect was that Sakaki was also a member of this "Cat Club", and a senior member at that - this was like the contrast of "the boss of the Yakuza was actually a regular at the cat cafe downstairs". It has to be said that this setting was full of Japanese light-style, and it was quite exciting?

……

The nearest port has a large passenger flow and is very lively with people coming and going. Almost every few minutes, there are ships going out to sea or returning.

On the other hand, the three newly arrived Pokémon (Zeraora returned to the Poké Ball) were faced with a new problem.

"What, it costs 1500 Alliance Coins to carry one person? Old man, your little shabby boat is too expensive, isn't it? Is it for 'carrying passengers' or 'ripping off passengers'?" The disguised Musashi clenched his fists tightly, his teeth clenching with a "clacking" sound, and he almost spoke while holding back his anger.

Because they were short of money, they deliberately chose this small fishing boat that was moored in the corner of the dock and looked the most rudimentary. However, when they asked the price, it turned out to be not cheap at all - at least it was a bit expensive for the three members of Team Rocket.

Kojiro, who had also changed his appearance, was behind her. He opened his wallet and counted the amount inside. Then he pretended to be indifferent and put the wallet back into his pocket. He and Musashi said in collusion, "Yes, old man, you are not going to blackmail us just because we are strangers, right?"

The old man in the blue straw raincoat just stretched out a finger and shook it, raising his eyebrows nonchalantly: "1500 Alliance Coins per person, no bargaining..."

He paused, his eyes lingering on Meowth for a moment, and then added: "If you don't receive the Pokémon in the Poké Ball, it will also be 1500 Alliance Coins per person."

"You!" Musashi was so angry that he wanted to step forward to continue arguing, but was stopped by Kojiro, who saw that the situation was not good - because many people around him had already cast strange looks at him.

They are unfamiliar with the place and if a conflict arises, it will not be a good thing for them.

"Musashi, calm down. Let's go ask if there is a cheaper boat to rent," Kojiro advised. "There's no need to get angry with him."

Then, under the old man's half-smiley gaze, they fled the scene in disgrace. Liang Yin also raised his eyebrows and followed the Rockets trio like a follower.

After asking around, I found out that it is the peak tourist season now and the prices of boat tickets have increased. The cheapest ticket is 3000 Alliance Coins.

The fishermen who had boats under their control also stopped their regular work and took advantage of this period to make some quick money from tourists. The price was mostly 2000 Alliance Coins per person, with a small fluctuation, but not much - the old man's previous price was already the cheapest.

No wonder the old man in blue looked at them as if he was waiting to see a joke.

So after going around in circles, the Rockets trio and Liang Yin returned to where they started.

"Old man, can you give me a discount?" Musashi put on a completely different flattering attitude, rubbing his hands, approaching the old man in blue, and said in a negotiating tone, "We don't have enough money, you see..."

"No bargaining." The old man refused to give in at all. Having the advantage of being in the "seller's market", he was not in a hurry at all.

Musashi, who was defeated on the other end, had to retreat angrily, and then pulled Kojiro and Liang Yin to a small corner.

"Where is our Magikarp submarine?" She tried to remain calm and asked Kojiro and Meowth, the two technicians in the team, in a "pleasant" manner, "Why do we have to suffer this injustice?"

Meowth sighed, "After the Magikarp broke down last time, it has been put aside because we simply don't have the funds to buy parts to repair it, meowth."

Kojiro nodded as well, his face showing bitterness: "Because of the lack of performance, the funding allocated to us by the headquarters has been reduced again and again."

Having said this, the three members of Team Rocket sighed in unison.

"How about we just rob a ship?" Musashi suggested, "We are villains, how can we be bound by rules and regulations?"

This method seems to work!

The excited trio of Team Rocket were just about to do so, and after taking a few steps, they saw the Miss Junshas who were deployed from nearby to maintain order due to the surge in the number of tourists.

Okay, now I don’t feel like that.

"Actually, there is a solution..." Liang Yin, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

Before he could finish, Kojiro, realizing something, covered Liang Yin's mouth with his hand, turned to Musashi and Miaomiao and explained, "Liang Yin and I have some men's topics to talk about, wait a moment." After that, he took Liang Yin to this small corner in this small corner.

"We don't need you to give us money. From the moment I ran away from home, I decided to sever ties with my family. So it is impossible for me to use even a penny of the family's money." In the other party's puzzled eyes, Kojiro took the initiative to speak, as if he had already determined that Liang Yin had just spoken because he was going to pay for their boat tickets out of his own pocket.

Liang Yin: …

However, the problem is that the currencies of Blue Star and Pokémon World are not interchangeable! So he doesn't have any Alliance Coins! His wallet is cleaner than his face!

"I respect your wishes, Master Kojiro," he pushed Kojiro away helplessly, and comforted the little fox on his shoulder who was baring his teeth and getting angry because of Kojiro's "offensive" behavior, "but the method I wanted to talk about just now is not what you think."

Liang Yin pointed to a shipyard not far away and asked, "You and Miaomiao should have a good grasp of mechanics, right? Why don't you give it a try?"

Kojiro was stunned, carefully considered the feasibility of this matter, and then immediately ran to find Musashi and Meowth to discuss the matter.
