Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Chapter 121 Chapman

"And behind all of this, there is the shadow of Chaper."

Lu An's face was ashen; Bai Ling's words had stirred up long-forgotten memories.

After he transmigrated to this world, he spent some time consulting the investigator's historical database, trying to figure out which version of the Pokémon world this world was from the major events in the database.

He soon discovered that this world was a hodgepodge mainly consisting of special edition comics.

Upon realizing this, Lu An, a native of Kanto, broke out in a cold sweat.

Because in the special episode's world, five of the Gym Leaders in the eight major cities of Kanto are core members of Team Rocket!

They are Lt. Surge, the Vermilion City Gym Leader; Gigi, the Crimson City Gym Leader; Sabrina, the Saffron City Gym Leader; Blaine, the Crimson City Gym Leader; and Giovanni, the Viridian City Gym Leader, who is known as the strongest Gym Leader in Kanto!

Among them, the first three were originally the three executives of Team Rocket, with Giovanni being the absolute leader of Team Rocket in terms of spirit, physique, and strength.

Meanwhile, Blaine was a key researcher in the Rockets' genetic experiments.

The genetic experiments he spearheaded were attempts to create the world's most powerful Pokémon—Mewtwo—by replicating the DNA from the eyelashes of Mew, the progenitor of Pokémon, and by extracting genes from various powerful Pokémon.

In the special episode, Blaine was unable to create a fully evolved Mewtwo for a long time.

Until Red began to emerge, Blaine injected Mewtwo with the most promising gene in the world—a human gene, a gene taken from Blaine himself.

With this genetic advantage, Blaine eventually led Team Rocket's experimenters to successfully create the only artificial god in the entire Pokémon world—Mewtwo.

However, Mewtwo's power was too great, and Team Rocket, lacking judgment, carelessly allowed it to break the petri dish and escape from Team Rocket's experimental base.

After realizing that Mewtwo's power was against the laws of nature, Blaine left Team Rocket and embarked on a journey to find, suppress, and capture Mewtwo.

Furthermore, in the later storyline, Red and Blaine successfully captured Mewtwo, who was causing trouble in Cerulean City.

Therefore, Lu An realized early on that, compared to the other three cadres, Xia Bo was more conscientious and that if he were to be strongly persuaded, he could be brought back to the side of justice.

So Lu An carried out his mission as an investigator while attempting to abduct Natsume and searching for Xia Bo's whereabouts.

Persistence pays off. After destroying many Team Rocket's genetic testing bases and incidentally adding two Eevee to his own ranks, Lu An finally found him.

Unfortunately, although he already possessed the strength of a top Gym Leader, Blaine still managed to escape the pursuit on his Rapidash thanks to the desperate cover provided by Team Rocket members.

Since then, the master of the Crimson Lotus Dojo, Xia Bo, has disappeared without a trace.

Lu An once suspected that Mewtwo might have already been created. At that time, Blaine had realized the truth and embarked on a journey to find Mewtwo.

However, since he was never able to find Chaper, no one was ever able to answer his question.

Later, due to some unexpected events, the task of searching for Xia Bo was handed over to Bai Ling.

"So, the reason those old men sent you to me this time, besides calling me back to headquarters, is that they also intend to reassign me the task of searching for Xia Bo?"

Bai Ling shrugged, which added a touch of sleazy air to her otherwise beautiful appearance.

This was a habitual action of some of the younger core members of their investigation headquarters, and the originator of this action was right across from her.

"If you hadn't arrogantly proclaimed that Giovanni was the leader of Team Rocket, and then stormed into the Viridian Gym, only to be thoroughly thrashed and thrown out, and then spent three months training at headquarters in seclusion, this mission should have been your responsibility."

Hearing Bai Ling casually recount his dark past, Lu An's face darkened:

"Ahem, it's just that I encountered too many Team Rocket test bases at the time and saw the terrible conditions inside, so I couldn't hold back my anger."

"Anyway, if Giovanni doesn't want his identity to be exposed, he can't possibly do anything to me when I'm directly challenging him."

"I've matured a lot now, and I'm not like I used to be."

Lu An saw Bai Ling tilting her head, looking at him with a half-smile.

Lu An suddenly remembered that not long ago, he had once again stormed into the Vermilion Dojo and beaten Lt. Surge so badly that he still couldn't get out of bed.

Lu An coughed twice and added:

"I mean, I won't do what I used to do, knowingly going against the grain when I'm not as skilled as others."

Is the maturity you speak of truly mature?

Bai Ling turned her head and snorted coldly:

“I have no problem with your trespassing into someone else’s dojo, but you’ve made me spend the last year searching for the ethereal Xia Po, which has exhausted me greatly, and I’m very dissatisfied.”

"So you have to come back to headquarters with me and find Blaine with me to find out what he did for Team Rocket, what he knew about Team Rocket, and what Team Rocket's plot against the Legendary Birds is."

The so-called conspiracy of the Three Sacred Birds is probably a genetic experiment to merge the three of them into one, Lu An muttered to himself.

"I understand. In short, we just need to go back to headquarters, right?"

After understanding Bai Ling's purpose in visiting Golden University, Lu An bowed to Bai Ling:

"Before we head back to the main campus, since you've come all this way to Golden University, how about I, as your part-time host, show you around?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Ling's lips curled up slightly:

"Tch, since you've invited me like this, I'll gladly accept."

"Little Anzi, prepare the carriage, to Golden University."

"Zha, Lady White Snake."

......

After showing Bai Ling a brief tour of the beautiful campus of Golden University, Lu An bought a ticket to the headquarters of the Investigators.

As for why I only bought one, that's because...

After the green train started moving, Lu An typed a few lines on his phone.

A few minutes later, a figure that blotted out the sky arrived at the window of the green train and knocked twice:

"Knock knock."

Lu An turned his head and saw a fossil pterosaur, nearly twice the size of its kind, flapping its wings and hovering relative to the window of the green train.

On its body, Bai Ling was waving and smiling at Lu An with a bright and lively expression.

"Heave-ho."

Bai Ling clung to the open car window of Lu An, nimbly slipped into the green train, and then retrieved the fossil pterosaur outside the window back into the ball.

Lu An couldn't help but twitch his cheek:

"You're getting more and more skilled at sneaking out of the ticket market."

Bai Ling rolled her eyes:

"Do you think I want this? The finance department has been getting stingier and stingier lately. They never reimburse my travel expenses. I'm struggling to make ends meet."

Lu An twitched his cheek again:

“If someone else went to a neighboring city on a mission and came back the next day with a expense report for 100,000 yuan, the finance department wouldn’t reimburse them.”

Bai Ling rolled her eyes again:

"Come on, if it weren't for you being afraid of heights, I would have had the fossil pterosaur fly back for such a short distance. You should be grateful that you have a beautiful woman like me accompanying you on this slow train."

Lu An twitched his cheek, silently turned his head, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
