Chapter 189 Sakaki
"Oh no, Moltres is running away!"
When they saw the firebird fly away from the cave entrance, Long Ze and the others' expressions changed drastically.
If they accidentally lose track of Moltres this time, they don't know when they will see it again.
We absolutely cannot just watch it fly away!
Longze and the others all took out their Poké Balls:
"Charizard!"
"Phidden Eagle!"
"Warrior Eagle!"
"Tropical dragon!"
As investigators, having a Pokémon that can carry them through the air is obviously a very important thing.
This way, they won't lose track of their target when carrying out missions involving Flying-type Pokémon.
Just like it is now.
The group nimbly mounted their Pokémon, quickly took off, and flew towards the hole above their heads.
Bai Ling's tropical dragon paused just before flying out of the cave, looking up at Lu An who was standing on the ground, gazing at the sky:
"Hey, Lu An, are you still not going to fly?"
Lu An twitched his cheek and glanced at the Steel-Armored Raven that had returned to his side:
"Ahem, you guys go and stop the Moltres first, I'll be right behind you."
Bai Ling on the tropical dragon rolled her eyes:
"This is an illness, it needs treatment!"
With that, Bai Ling ignored Lu An, patted the tropical dragon, and turned to leave through the cave entrance.
After Bai Ling left, Lu An awkwardly glanced at the Steel-Armored Raven that had landed beside him, its eyes red and silent.
"Ahem, you know me, Corviknight. It's not that I don't trust your skills, it's just that I'm a rather conservative person."
"Gaga gaga!"
The Steelraven stood still and flapped its wings once.
Although it didn't say anything, Lu An clearly understood what the Steel Raven wanted to express from its eyes.
Lu An was enraged and embarrassed:
"Alright, alright, I'm just afraid of heights, what's wrong with that? Stop making fun of me."
Lu An retrieved the Steel Crow back into its ball and prepared to run out of the cave on foot to reunite with Bai Ling and the others.
"Lu An".
A calm, deep voice echoed in the cave.
The sound was not loud at all; in fact, it was very faint in the empty cave.
But upon hearing those two simple words, Lu An, who had already taken a step, subconsciously stopped.
A figure emerged from the shadows of the cave, appearing in the sunlight streaming through the cave entrance.
He was of very average build, only the height of an average adult.
However, it gives people the feeling that his figure almost dominates all their attention.
His face was very ordinary, and there was no obvious difference between him and an ordinary person.
But his ordinary face possessed a magical power that was impossible to ignore.
He was wearing a plainly tailored black suit, but the suit didn't look messy or rude on him at all.
"Lu An".
His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and two more syllables escaped from his mouth.
The fact that this ordinary yet extraordinary man stood before Lu An made Lu An completely abandon his idea of chasing the firebird with Bai Ling and the others.
Lu An's eyes held a mixture of disbelief and a sense of relief, as if to say, "Just as I thought."
He was both incredulous that the man dared to appear so openly in front of him and relieved that this was simply the nature of the middle-aged man.
"Sakaki."
Lu An also swallowed slightly and called out the name of the man in front of him.
Sakaki is one of the eight major dojos in the Kanto region and the dojo master of the Tokiwa Dojo.
He is an expert in Ground-type Pokémon and is known as "Giantsuke of the Earth." He is also the author of the book "The Secrets of the Earth."
He is a once-in-a-decade holder of the "Eternal Power," even earlier than Yulongdu and Xiaohuang.
When it comes to his own charm, he even won over the unruly Ma Zhishi and A-Ju, who were also the leaders of the Kanto Dojo.
He is a man who is impeccable in terms of both his own strength and charm.
He was once considered by the Kanto Alliance to be a man who embodied virtue, merit, and words.
He was once recognized as the most powerful man in the Kanto region.
However, behind the scenes, this man is the sole leader of Team Rocket, the largest and most evil criminal organization in the Kanto region.
In the original work, countless inhumane genetic experiments were conducted, resulting in the creation of Mewtwo, the only artificial Tier 1 God in the world, and the capture of the three legendary birds, which were then combined into one.
No, Lu An narrowed his eyes.
Since Giovanni is here now, it means that his capture of Moltres in the original work may very well have become a reality.
Sakaki looked at Lu An, who had been silently observing him since he called his name, and gave him a gentle smile:
"What's wrong? Lu An, do you seem unhappy to see me?"
Lu An snorted coldly:
Should I be happy to see you?
Sakaki smiled slightly:
"But I was so happy to see you. I even asked the Firebird to lure everyone else away so that I could see you alone."
Lu An felt a chill run down his spine.
As expected, it seems that Moltres has already been caught by Team Rocket!
On Sakaki's end, it was still like old friends chatting casually:
"You seem to have gained a little weight? Are you having a good time at Golden University?"
Lu An remained silent.
Two muffled thuds were heard, and two Eevee appeared on Lu An's left and right sides respectively.
"Buyi!"
"Eebu!"
(〝▼plate▼)
The two Eevee paws kept swinging their forelimbs, baring their teeth at Giovanni, and even Espeon did the same.
If they hadn't maintained their basic composure, they would have loved to rush up and tear the man in front of them to pieces.
Giovanni looked at the two Eevee dogs with great interest:
"Eevee, Umbreon, I heard that your genetic disease has been cured with the help of Emperor Yan? Congratulations!"
Judging from his expression, it was as if he wasn't the culprit who had caused the two Eevee to suffer for years.
Lu An was not at all surprised that he knew that he had gone to Fengyuan to find Emperor Yan.
The investigators did not maintain a tight information blockade on this matter, and it is not surprising that Team Rocket's intelligence network knew about it.
"Sakaki, what are you doing here? You're still the Gym Leader of Viridian Dojo, aren't you?"
"As the gym leader, you entered Mt. Silver without reporting to the League. Are you no longer planning to hide your identity as the leader of the Arrow Team?"
Sakaki didn't seem to care that Lu An had so openly exposed his hidden identity:
"Now is not the time."
"I deliberately used the Moltres as bait to lure everyone else away in order to keep my identity clean."
"This is the result of my painstaking efforts to see you quietly, Lu An."
Lu An gave a cold laugh:
"So, I should thank you?"
