Chapter 206 Capturing Time
Lu An was initially puzzled as to how Uncle Liu, in his wheelchair, managed to climb the mountain path and reach the ice cave.
But he quickly figured it out.
Suddenly, the little wild boar on Uncle Liu's leg blew air towards the ground, and a flat ice pillar rose up, lifting the group out of the ice cave.
It was as gentle as a change in the earth's crust; if Lu An hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have even felt the ice surface rise.
Even knowing Liu Bo's true colors, he couldn't help but sigh, Liu Bo's strength was indeed worthy of being a ruthless person who could subdue two cover gods.
His understanding of ice-type abilities is simply divine; even Lorelei couldn't control it with such ease.
Lu An followed Uncle Liu down the mountain.
Just as the group was about to reach Kaji Town, Lu An suddenly discovered that Blaine, who should have been following behind him, had fallen into the distance and was already riding on the back of the Flame Horse.
That distance was exactly the distance that even Espeon's psychic powers couldn't guarantee would keep him there.
"Young friend Lu."
Blaine shouted:
"I won't go to town with you."
"I want to make amends for my mistakes."
Lu An knew what he meant; he was going to capture Mewtwo to prevent it from causing chaos in the human world.
“I know that Young Master Lu treats me differently from others. Although I don’t understand why Young Master Lu treats me, a person with a criminal record, differently, I am still very grateful.”
After saying this, Xia Bo gave Lu An a meaningful look, then turned and left.
"Hiss!"
Lu An knew very well why Xia Bo chose to leave at this time.
Uncle Liu hasn't revealed his identity yet, but Uncle Xia is a wanted criminal of the Kanto Alliance.
Why is he trying to appear in public, right next to the investigators and the dojo master?
Moreover, as Blaine said, if he wants to atone for his sins, he must stop Team Rocket and Mewtwo, and they will meet again sooner or later.
Thinking this, Lu An reached into his pocket, then suddenly froze.
He felt a thin piece of paper in his pocket.
Recalling Xia Bo's strange expression before he left, Lu An's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...?
Sitting in his wheelchair, Uncle Liu made no comment on the strange remarks between Uncle Lu and Uncle Xia, and showed no interest in their relationship.
He simply took Lu An back to Kaji Town.
In Kagi Town, Lu An contacted Kona and the others who had been waiting anxiously.
When Kona and the others learned that Lu An was safe and sound, they were overjoyed and told Lu An to stay in Kaji Town and that they would come to find him immediately.
Lu An naturally wouldn't have any objections, since he hadn't found his Magical Masked Cat yet.
If he's right, Magic Masked Cat should be in town right now.
Kona and the others have already been notified, and he also has a general idea of where Magic Masked Cat is.
All that's left is...
Lu An stood on the ice of the Kaji Dojo, looking at Uncle Liu, who looked drowsy behind the ice sculpture, with a complicated expression.
If Liu Bo in the original comic was deserving of death because of his series of serious mistakes, then what about Liu Bo now?
At this point, Team Rocket had not yet disbanded after Giovanni was defeated by Red.
In other words, Liu Bo has not yet gathered the remnants of Team Rocket, nor does he have the ability to create multiple incidents, including the Gyarados incident at Lake of Rage, the Gym Leaders' Battle between the two Leagues, and the Kiri Forest incident.
Aside from capturing Xiaolan and Sakaki's son, Xiaoyin, years ago to train his own "Masked" team, he has no other notorious crimes.
Perhaps his actions were no different from child trafficking in his previous life, but from the perspective of a former fan of the original work, Lu An, like Xia Bo, couldn't bring himself to hate Liu Bo.
After all, whether it's towards people or Pokémon, Plum's emotions are much more intense than those of ordinary people.
If Giovanni founded Team Rocket to conquer the world, Archie awakened Kyogre for the sake of the ocean and power.
Compared to the villains in other regions, Liu Bo's motives are so insignificant as to be negligible.
He only wanted to reverse time and return to his youth to save the two Lapras he had lost on the ice plains.
Although a crime is a crime, if Liu Bo is left unchecked, even if the Rockets don't disband, Lu An believes that he will cause trouble sooner or later.
Is it possible to persuade Uncle Liu?
After all, compared to other villains, Liu Bo is truly the villainous boss most likely to reform and turn over a new leaf.
It's always better to guide people to do good than to force them to do evil.
Moreover, as a fan of the original work, after becoming a Special Investigator, he intentionally used his abilities to find the whereabouts of the siblings, Xiao Lan and Xiao Yin.
Lu An suddenly had a thought.
Pluton's actions—capturing children, recruiting Team Rocket remnants, manipulating Ho-Oh and Lugia, and causing chaos in Johto—ultimately stem from his desire to return to the past.
Besides Dialga, the god of time, Celebi is the most likely person to take Lyub back to the past.
The rabbi descends into the time gap in the paulownia forest on the night of the full moon.
However, to enter the time rift and catch Celebi, you need a "Poké Ball that can capture time".
The materials required for the "Time-Catching Poké Ball" are:
Ho-Oh's rainbow feathers, and Lugia's silver feathers.
Ironically, he had both of those feathers!
Thinking of this, Lu An suddenly became excited.
Yes, after the system appeared, he obtained the Rainbow Feather and the Silver Feather.
The rainbow-colored feathers came in handy when he dealt with Emperor Yan.
Does that mean he can create a "time-capturing Poké Ball" on his own?
If he took Liu Bo to the paulownia forest on the night of the full moon, would Liu Bo have been spared the trouble of instigating Ho-Oh and Lugia to wreak havoc in the League?
Lu An had an idea in mind and decided to confront Uncle Liu after sorting out his thoughts.
But before that, Lu An reached in and opened the note Xia Bo had left for him:
"Young friend Lu, I was once misled by Team Rocket and joined their genetic experiments."
"In order to dominate Kanto and conquer the world, Team Rocket hopes to use Mew and other Pokémon, and even humans, that is, my genes, to create an unprecedented Pokémon that is even more powerful than Mew."
They call it—Mewtwo.
"But Mewtwo's power was too great, and I realized that it was not a power that humans should possess, so I defected from Team Rocket."
"I swapped genes with Mewtwo, so I can sense that Mewtwo has been fully created."
"To atone for my sins, I've decided to capture Mewtwo."
"This may be a road of no return, and to be honest, I have no confidence at all based on my own strength."
"Therefore, I would like to earnestly request that you, young friend Lu, join me in capturing Mewtwo."
“I am well aware of Mewtwo’s strength and the audacity of this request. If you are unwilling, I will not force you.”
"However, if you are interested in this, please contact me..."
Below is Xia Bo's contact information and address.
And finally, the "Xia Bo Zi".
