Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

Xia Yu did not expect that the employer behind Wu Chongwen would actually be Dr. Jiang and Dr. Hu's experimental team.

Sure enough, compared to hard work in research and overcoming experimental difficulties, stealing other people's experimental results is the easiest and most effective way.

Everyone wants to take shortcuts, even respected seniors like Jiang Wanan and Hu Xi are no exception.

…………

The next day, Wu Chongwen formally reported the matter to the Pokémon Association as agreed, which immediately caused an uproar.

The experimental team that Dr. Jiang and Dr. Hu belonged to also immediately issued a statement to conduct crisis public relations. At the same time, they appealed against Wu Chongwen, denouncing Wu Chongwen for slandering and smearing their reputation.

For a while, the two sides engaged in a fierce war of words online.

Although there was a lot of noise online, Xia Yu also knew that Wu Chongwen's report would not have much effect, nor would it have much impact on Jiang Wan'an and Hu Xi.

After all, old foxes like Jiang Wanan and Hu Xi handled everything very cleanly, so how could they leave any substantial evidence?

Xia Yu speculated that this matter would most likely end up in nothing, with big things becoming small and small things being nothing.

Therefore, Xia Yu chose to stay out of it and stay away from the center of public opinion. He just let Wu Chongwen keep a close eye on Jiang Wanan and the others, while he himself focused on acquiring Wu Chongwen's company.

The acquisition of the company went smoothly with the full cooperation of Wu Chongwen.

In order to facilitate the control of Wu Chongwen's detective company, Xia Yu also specially placed two confidants into the detective company.

One is Xie Tianming. Although Xie Tianming’s strength is not particularly strong now, at least Xia Yu is more trustworthy.

The other is Liu Yunxuan, the candidate Xiao Wanyu strongly recommended to him.

…………

Two days later.

The news of Xia Yu's victory over Wu Chongwen quickly went viral on the Internet. Although it was not uncommon for a quasi-king-level Pokémon to defeat a king-level Pokémon and it happened from time to time, it was extremely rare considering Xia Yu's age of 19 and his status as a scientific research genius.

Many people even gave him the title of peerless genius, and they were certain that Xia Yu's future achievements would start from the Four Heavenly Kings, and he might even become a future champion.

Faced with the media's flattery, Xia Yu just laughed it off.

Champion? I already am.

…………

There was a drizzle in the sky, and the late autumn rain brought a chill of winter.

The sound of dripping rain came from outside the window. The Charizard was lying on the ground, the flame on its tail burning, and it was resting lazily with its eyes squinted.

…………

"beep!"

The phone rang, Xia Yu frowned and looked at the phone, the name on the caller ID surprised him a little.

Peach cake.

Since the last mission was completed, there has been almost no communication between the two, at most they occasionally chatted online. This is the first time in such a long time that Tao Su has taken the initiative to call him.

Is there a new mission?

"Hello." Xia Yu pressed the answer button and said, "Senior Taosu, what's going on?"

"Let's have another match someday. Next time you can use Doronbaruto." Tao Su said concisely.

"Ahem." Xia Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not free these days. Let's wait until I'm free."

"When are you free?" Tao Su asked directly: "You decide the time, I'm available anytime."

Hearing Tao Su's tone, Xia Yu knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm not sure about this, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, tell me when you have time." Tao Su said, "Next time you must use your full strength. You can use mega evolution and Z moves."

"Okay." Xia Yu replied with a wry smile.

It seems that Senior Taosu was very dissatisfied with the last time she used the Lizard King to fight.

In that case, I will send the Iron Warrior next time. Senior Taosu, this is what you asked for, don’t blame me.

Xia Yu shook his head, quickly discarded the perverted thoughts in his mind, and then said: "Then Senior Tao Su, if there is nothing else, I will hang up first."

"Wait." Tao Su stopped Xia Yu: "I haven't talked about the main business yet."

"Huh? You say."

After all this time, what we talked about before was not the real thing?

"Do you still remember our last mission?" Tao Su's voice sounded.

"Remember, what happened in the underground world." Xia Yu responded.

"Since I left Black Dragon City last time, I went to Black Dragon City twice again. I found some useful things and also got some evidence of the crimes committed by the Fu brothers." Tao Su's soft and sticky voice sounded, and at the same time, there was a hint of seriousness in her tone: "Black Dragon City is going to hold an annual auction recently. I plan to go again. Do you want to come with me?"

Xia Yu was shocked when he heard Tao Su's words. He didn't expect Tao Su to be so courageous that he could continue investigating the affairs of Heilong City alone!

"Are you continuing to investigate alone?"

"Yeah." Tao Su replied.

"Have you asked your family for their opinions on this matter?" Xia Yu asked.

"They know." Tao Su said calmly, "They completely agree with my approach. First, I want to do as much good as possible after joining Team Zero. Second, I have discussed this matter with my family. What the underground world has done in recent years is indeed a bit too much."

"But don't worry, I won't be impulsive in this investigation. I will only investigate the Qi family."

At this point, Tao Su paused for a moment, then continued, "How about it, do you want to cooperate? You can think about it carefully and report to Lu Guanjun. I have booked a flight for the day after tomorrow, and you can give me an answer within one day."

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu looked at the drizzle outside the window and carefully thought about what Tao Su had just said.

He found that he really underestimated Tao Su. Tao Su's words were telling him implicitly.

The Tao family plans to kick the Qi family out of the underground world completely. Do Xia Yu and Lu Guanjun behind Xia Yu want to get a piece of the pie?

In the past two months, the father and son of the Qi family have died successively at the hands of "Sakaki", and many champion-level Pokémon have been killed. This has also greatly damaged the strength of the Qi family. The Qi family no longer has the ability to control the underground world.

At the same time, the astonishing wealth accumulated by several generations of the Qi family will become their death warrant.

The Qi family is in great decline and can be easily crushed by the Tao family with their current strength, but they still choose to come to cooperate with them.

On the one hand, there are too many people eyeing the Qi family, and it is too difficult for the Tao family to take them down alone. On the other hand, they have their eyes on Lu Tinghe who is behind them.

Because Lu Tinghe is the champion of the southwest region, as long as the Tao family wants to intervene in this matter, they will definitely not be able to avoid Lu Tinghe.

Moreover, Xia Yu speculated that the reason why Tao Su chose to reveal this news to him was entirely because of his victory over Wu Chongwen a few days ago!

Only after seeing my strength did the Tao family agree to befriend me.

As expected, no matter where you are, strength is the most important thing.

Xia Yu frowned and thought for a while, and made a decision in his heart.

Go! This trip to Heilong City is a must!

Xia Yu had his reasons for going. He also had a question in his mind: why did the Qi family know about the Dark Stone, and how much did they know about it?

Does the Qi family know that the legendary Pokémon Zekrom is sleeping in the Dark Stone?

If they knew, would they know the exact location of the Dragon Spiral Tower?
