Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 234 Team Rocket? (35)

"Self-preservation is the priority. Don't advance rashly. If you can't win, retreat."

During the flight, Lai gave Naqi and her companions a lot of advice.

There was no need to take any risks with an episode like this that wasn't originally planned.

During the high-speed flight, the big-billed gull quickly followed the route provided by Joyce and arrived at the Emperor Penguin. Yosuke was waiting on the deck with an anxious look on his face.

As soon as he landed, he came over to say something. Lai gently pressed his hand to signal him to calm down and said, "I know there is danger this time. Just follow me and stay out of my sight."

"Principal, that's not the case. The situation seems to be more complicated. A group of sailors who boarded the ship with me have all left. I heard that the other side is Team Rocket!" Yosuke's eagerness was palpable.

"Joyce didn't stop them? Did you come here specifically to stay and report the news to me?" Looking at his students, Lai's expression softened.

Yosuke sighed and said helplessly: "I can't stop it, the contract has expired. I stayed because I knew the principal wouldn't sit idly by. Even if I called, you would come, right?"

"That's true. Even if you don't go all out, you still have to do it twice. After all, I promised Joyce." Lai nodded and rubbed the head of Yosuke, who was much shorter than him. In the past two months, he had grown taller. He said a little more, "It's you, why are you here to join in the fun in such a dangerous situation? Just follow my Swampert. You are not allowed to go anywhere. Just hit it with a hundred thousand volts from a distance. Do you understand? Experience Once you have gained experience, there is no need to take risks."

"Good principal!" Yosuke nodded again and again, "Then you must be careful!"

"Don't worry, you go and prepare well, Naqi. Let's go find Joyce. For such a big job, we have to give him another blow." After patting Yosuke on the shoulder, Lai called Naqi and went to Go to the captain's cabin.

Naqi probably missed a few steps and said softly to Yosuke: "Remember to go find him later. He is embarrassed to give you something now. We all feel your kindness."

"Teacher Naki, I can no longer ask for anything from the teachers!" Yosuke shook his head like a rattle.

"Naki, let's go!"

Lai's voice came from far away, and Naki glared. She, who was already known for her majesty among the students, immediately calmed Yosuke: "Listen, I'll come over here in a minute. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he quickly caught up without waiting for Yosuke's reply.

"Oh"

Yosuke seemed to be back in class again, and he didn't regain his composure until Naqi walked away.

"we have a deal?"

"we have a deal."

"That's okay, let's go~"

"you are happy?"

"Of course, I taught you for nothing, aren't you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy."

"It's over now, let's go!"

······
In the captain's cabin, Joyce, who had been pacing anxiously and waiting for a long time, heard a sound that surprised and delighted him.

Fortunately, Lai finally arrived.

Surprisingly Len already knew the risks.

"Joyce, you didn't tell me that there was something about Team Rocket in this?"

Before anyone arrived, the voice came first, and as soon as he finished speaking, Lai's slightly joking face appeared at the door.

"Didn't I have time to say it? Time was so tight that I forgot about it." Joyce walked up to him with a smile.

Len did not answer the question, but pointed out Joyce's little thoughts:
"Didn't you have time? I can't see it. Are you afraid that I won't come?"

Joyce's smile became slightly embarrassed and he was speechless.

"I don't mean to blame you. Take the time to talk about the situation, who is there, or who is there, and who is on our side."

Lai Da Ma sat on the sofa, waiting for Joyce's next words, and Na Qi sat beside him quietly, without saying a word, but her expression was equally tense.

"It's not certain at the moment, but we can be sure that in addition to pirates, there are also big thieves who were originally active in the Sinnoh region, codenamed Hunter J, and an unknown cadre from Team Rocket. They have a lot of subordinates, but The specific situation is not clear enough.”

"On our side, we have His Excellency Shenwu, the fusion gym leader in Chenghua City, and a consultant from the alliance headquarters. Both of them are very strong."

"In addition, several other ships should also have hired strong foreign aid, but they are definitely much inferior to the two of you."

Joyce took out the alliance's top-secret documents, and then told the whole situation. He looked at Len with an uneasy expression. He knew that in the face of such a battle, participating in the war was a matter of course. Even if he refused because of force majeure due to drastic changes in the situation, he would not Method.

"Hunter J, it's Interpol's job to hunt her down, right? Have they disappeared from the world again? As for Team Rocket, in Hoenn, they are just as powerful as the local snakes, and they just hit them. It's nothing. However, the difficulty of the mission is nothing. Now that it’s changed, what about remuneration?”

Lai's tone was very clear. To deal with such an opponent, you have to put in the effort, and the previous rewards alone are obviously not enough. What's more, facing a strong enemy, it is hard to say whether there is a chance to seize the loot.

"All the previous promises will be kept, and I personally promise the two of you a reward of 1000 million Union Coins each, as long as you are willing to go all out."

Joyce added an emphasis at the end of his words.Lai and Naqi looked at each other, both satisfied, so Lai nodded and agreed: "We will try our best, but what we can do is limited. Whether this matter will succeed in the end depends on the alliance. efforts.”

"It's natural. After such a big change, I don't expect to be able to make achievements in one battle. I just want to gain something and get out unscathed."

Joyce is also a sensible person, and of course he will not force anything.

"In that case, give me the information you have, and we will prepare."

With that said, Rai stood up.

Joyce was also prepared and took out a stack of materials and handed them to Lai:
"This is all information about Hunter J. It is an alliance secret and must be kept secret."

"I understand the seriousness, and I will feel feverish after reading it. So, she will be left to us to deal with? Okay, let Yosuke call me when the time comes."

Lai took it with one hand, stuffed it into his backpack, and walked out with Na Qi one after the other.

Shortly after the two left, a secret door that was identical to the wall on the side of the captain's cabin slowly opened, and Eudora walked out of the secret room with a worried look on her face.

"Joyce, are we really going to be pioneers like this?"

Joyce sighed and said in a bleak tone: "There is no way, the alliance knows our situation. Moreover, there is the alliance's own coastal defense force in front, and we can only be regarded as half a vanguard. We can only hope that these two young talents , is really capable, and there are two from the alliance."

"I never expected that the franchise that was so easy to grab would turn out to be such a firecracker."

Eudora's face was bitter. As a nurturer, she didn't have much ability to fight head-on. At this time, she couldn't help her husband.

"We have come this far. There is no room for retreat. We can only move forward with all our heart. Len is right. This is Hoenn. Even Team Rocket can't reach this far. Invite the first mate and the others. Come here, Eudora, now we must work together."

Leaning on the sofa, Joyce's expression changed from confusion and bitterness to determination again.

"We have been running on the sea together for so many years, and we have faced many storms and waves, including this one. The Emperor Penguin is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others."
