Chapter 1287
"Boss! It's bad, boss!"
Bang bang bang!
The door to the villa room was knocked, waking Giovanni from a beautiful afternoon nap.
In the dream, Team Rocket, inherited from his mother, had become the world's number one enterprise, mastering the economic lifeline of many regions, with 99% of Pokémon under his control.
Countless young people sharpened their heads to squeeze into Team Rocket, and there were so many talents that he could pick and choose.
Even Mewtwo, who had once abandoned him, had to return to Team Rocket headquarters to apologize to him and hope to join.
Giovanni was disdainful and shouted coldly, "Useless thing! Don't need you anymore!"
Then he took the initiative to sweep Mewtwo out of the door, letting its desolate back disappear into the biting cold wind...
"Boss! Something happened!"
The Team Rocket secretary who broke into the room made Giovanni frown as soon as she opened her mouth.
He sat up with the service of a maid, and the Persian by the bed leaned its head over obediently.
"What are you shouting for! What's the problem? Can't the Red Chain catch Dialga?"
Giovanni had long expected this and said lightly, "If you can't catch it, forget it. The important thing is to take the opportunity to take all the Pokémon in the world into your pocket."
The experience of the Mewtwo incident told him that some Pokémon were truly unruly and difficult to tame, so it was better to just give up.
The maid handed him fragrant black tea, and Giovanni had just taken a sip when the secretary's voice, which was hard to speak, came from the opposite side.
"Boss... all our bases have been destroyed..."
"Pfft—!! Cough cough cough!"
Black tea sprayed all over the quilt. He looked up in disbelief, his left hand exerting force unconsciously while stroking Persian's head, "What did you say!"
"Meow!"
Persian, in pain, struggled violently and suddenly withdrew.
Giovanni ignored it, stared at the trembling secretary, and said in a deep voice, "What the hell happened!"
The secretary gritted her teeth, "Just now..."
She reported to Giovanni the situation where Team Rocket branch bases all over the world were destroyed from the outside and lost contact one after another, and then the headquarters was attacked.
But Giovanni couldn't listen to half of it.
"What do you mean by a group of legendary Pokémon and Pokémon we've never seen?"
"What do you mean by the plan failed and all our people were hypnotized?"
"Are you kidding me!"
"What about casualties?"
He couldn't stop roaring.
"Casualties are not serious, it's just..." The secretary took a deep breath, "Property damage is relatively serious."
Property damage!!
Giovanni suddenly covered his chest. This was the thing he least wanted to hear; nothing made him more uncomfortable than losing money.
"Go! Take me to headquarters!"
He squeezed a few words out from between his teeth, and the good mood brought by the beautiful dream vanished.
At the same time.
Porygon2 was dealing with the criminal evidence of Team Rocket's white-glove companies.
It couldn't help but ask, "Is it really effective?"
It knew Team Rocket's resilience. Even if it could come and go freely in the other party's database, Porygon2 didn't dare to say it understood all their industries.
"Who cares, as long as it brings trouble to Team Rocket." All Baimu didn't care much.
In the main world, because the Team Rocket trio always stuck to Ash, Team Rocket became the villain organization that lasted until the end.
The Team Rocket trio in the parallel world seemed more capable, but if they hadn't stuck to the parallel world's Ash, it shouldn't be difficult to destroy them.
It just depended on whether the Kanto League here was powerful enough.
All Baimu looked at the ruins of Team Rocket's headquarters in the distance. Unlike the last time he invaded in the middle of the night and was discovered by Giovanni, this time no one else approached.
"If no one comes, let's go."
He greeted Hoopa, who was playing games with the Shiny Gengar. The latter had half a donut in its mouth, and its face was full of excitement.
"Fire wave! Fire wave! Hahaha! Hoopa is the strongest!"
The character on the small screen emptied the opponent's blood, Hoopa flew around excitedly, and Gengar sighed, looking like it couldn't win.
Porygon2 looked at it sideways.
This guy even knows how to handle human relationships?
It remembered that Gengar was almost in the world's top ten in this kind of fighting game, and someone even invited it to participate in offline competitions.
"Is it over?"
Hearing All Baimu's greeting, Hoopa ate the donut in two or three bites, didn't even look at the ruins in the distance, and quickly opened the light ring.
It clearly led to Cynthia's location.
Thanks to the fact that there was also a Champion Cynthia in the parallel world, she had received help from many Officer Jennys, Nurse Joys, and even the League officials, successfully retrieving the Pokémon plundered by the other-world Team Rocket.
However, she had a question.
"How can you distinguish which Pokémon belong to our world?"
"The action groups in various places of Team Rocket have marked them. These guys are more professional than anyone else when doing bad things."
All Baimu smiled helplessly.
As a large cross-regional criminal organization, Team Rocket was no different from an ordinary listed company. Plus, Giovanni valued money particularly highly, so naturally, he had to clearly register the sources of the Pokémon he obtained to avoid corruption by others.
These were all money!
But precisely because it was professional enough, Porygon2 was able to easily find a large number of white-glove companies that made money for Team Rocket. I believe that after All Baimu's tossing, even if the parallel world's Team Rocket didn't go bankrupt, it would have to lose half its life!
—In fact, the situation was more serious than All Baimu guessed.
Because this retaliatory action came particularly fiercely and belonged to the daytime when personnel were gathered, the losses caused to Team Rocket were already immeasurable.
What was even more fatal were those white-glove companies. Not only was a lot of criminal evidence sent to the Leagues in various places, but even the cash in the bank accounts was transferred away in batches. When Giovanni arrived, his secretary team gave an answer that made him dizzy.
"Boss~ we're bankrupt~"
Bankrupt... bankrupt... bankrupt...
Giovanni fainted on the spot.
Team Rocket's two generations of legacy were destroyed in his hands before he could pass the position to Silver!
Damn it!
Shameful!
The Giovanni of the parallel world was more fragile than the one in the main world. After the medical team rescued him, he immediately roared angrily:
"Investigate! Investigate for me! Who the hell did this!"
But Team Rocket's investigation was destined to be futile.
They could guess that the targeting came from a parallel world, but how could they have thought that the one targeting them was just an Orre Champion who shouldn't have existed?
Surveillance?
It had long been occupied by Porygon2. A world without a firewall was too free for it.
Team Rocket, unable to find any results, was in a mess. They had to deal with the pressure from the League on one hand and start large-scale layoffs on the other, including the Team Rocket trio.
The other-world Jessie, James, and Meowth only felt that the sky had fallen.
"We're unemployed?"
"That's not right!"
"There's no such thing, Meowth..."
"Wobbuffet~"
The wailing resounded through the wilderness, startling countless wild Pokémon.
Of course, these were things that happened after All Baimu left the parallel world, and before leaving, he specifically went to the Orre of the other world.
What made his mood complex was that the Orre of the other world was barren, but particularly peaceful.
After the first boss of Team Snagem, Gonzap, and the second boss, Dakim, were captured, the third boss, Ein, did not appear.
The parallel world counterpart of this old man didn't have such great ambition and became a stingy businessman.
Gateon Port was still covered in yellow sand, with crowds concentrated underground, various mines stopped work, and the economy was particularly depressed.
And there was no second him.
Every acquaintance of All Baimu could be seen, with changes in personality, large or small, only he himself was not there.
"The one and only me."
All Baimu knew his situation was special, but he didn't expect it to be so special.
Even Ash could have a second one, but he didn't.
After digesting his somewhat complex mood, All Baimu looked at his Pokémon, "Do you want to see yourselves in the parallel world?"
Most Pokémon shook their heads.
For them, the self in the parallel world was nothing more than other individuals who looked very similar to them. What's the point of seeing them? It had no meaning.
"You guys are still broad-minded."
All Baimu said with a smile.
—
Left the parallel world through the unclosed space-time hole.
It was fortunate that Palkia didn't rush to close it, saving All Baimu the process of taking the Red Chain to find it.
"Brothers" fighting each other was a bit unsightly.
The cold Spear Pillar of Mount Coronet.
The group of Pokémon brought back woke up the sleeping Team Galactic. The wind on the mountain top was particularly cold. Due to All Baimu's somewhat irresponsible behavior, they almost all caught colds.
Hoopa opened the light ring to transport the Pokémon to the city at the foot of the mountain, and Cynthia confirmed their Trainers after scanning the Pokémon through the Pokémon Center registration system.
Although there were no Poké Balls, as long as their Trainers had captured them with Poké Balls and taken them to the Pokémon Center for a physical examination, the corresponding data existed in the database.
Saved a lot of trouble.
As for the Team Galactic commanders, All Baimu didn't continue to communicate with them; after all, he had to be busy looking for plates.
"I'll leave the rest to you entirely."
All Baimu decisively threw all the remaining chores to Cynthia.
Cynthia didn't refuse either, "Leave it to me!"
She paused, "May I ask, what are your plans next?"
"There's a task that needs to be handled."
All Baimu didn't tell the other party that he was going to look for plates; after all, many things were troublesome to explain.
Hearing this, Cynthia restrained the regret in her heart.
She had really thought about going on an adventure with All Baimu, just to personally pursue the myth and history of all parts of the world.
And she definitely wouldn't have such thoughts about ordinary people, but All Baimu was a Champion like her, their status was similar, their age difference wasn't far, and being travel partners was really suitable.
But a pity point was that the other party seemed to be like her, preferring to act alone.
"I wish you success."
Cynthia watched All Baimu disappear into the light ring, her black coat swaying in the wind, and sighed suddenly, "Sigh~"
On the other side.
The moment the light ring closed, Porygon2 couldn't help but say, "Does she have ideas about you?"
"She has ideas about the fact that I can meet legendary Pokémon like Calyrex."
All Baimu could generally guess Cynthia's intention.
It was a pity that he was really used to acting alone, and didn't want many secrets to be known by too many people, even if it was a character he liked during his childhood.
To explain it with a galgame, it was equivalent to his favorability with Cynthia not being high enough to unlock hidden CGs, and Ms. Cynthia still needed to work harder...
"Alright! Let's get down to business!"
All Baimu rubbed his hands like a fly, looked at the lazy Hoopa expectantly, and said sternly, "Hoopa warrior! There is a very important task to hand over to you next!"
Hoopa was startled, and immediately responded, "Hoopa is ready at any time! Whitey, just give the order!"
This was clearly a line from a game it and Gengar played not long ago.
All Baimu said, "I need your help to find some plates."
There was no doubt that taking advantage of this opportunity to call Hoopa over, he was prepared to speed-run the parallel world's Team Rocket, and then speed-run the plate collection task as well.
Light ring~ super easy to use!
"Plates?"
Hoopa tilted its head in confusion, and Porygon2 immediately gave relevant pictures.
With the relevant concept, Hoopa realized and began to manipulate the light ring.
"Leave it to Hoopa! Plates, plates! Come out, come out—"
Several light rings swayed up and down for a long time, trembling gently in the expectant eyes of All Baimu and Porygon2.
Then...
Nothing happened.
All Baimu and Porygon2 looked at the light ring, then at the confused Hoopa, "Uh, did you summon them?"
"Hoopa summoned them!"
Hoopa responded urgently, puffed up its cheeks, and shouted, "One more time! Plates, plates! Come out, come out—"
Still no reaction at all.
No matter how many times it experimented later, the result was still that the light ring had no reaction, as if it had lost this power.
Hoopa, in a hurry, changed the target to Baraz's headscarf, which was successfully retrieved.
"... Whitey, Hoopa can't help you."
Hoopa said very dejectedly.
All Baimu was somewhat disappointed, but also chose to accept it in these repeated failures, "It's okay, you've worked hard."
Sure enough, things like plates that represented the origin of the world couldn't be transported through light rings.
Or perhaps, Arceus was unwilling to let Hoopa transport its plates.
All Baimu scratched his head, "Looks like I can only find a way myself, but where should I start looking?"
There was no clue as to where the plates were.
Porygon2 had long investigated through the network, but also failed to get any answer.
While thinking, Terapagos, who was sleeping on his head, suddenly woke up.
"Ba~~ga~~"
It let out a big yawn, looked around sleepily, and then went everywhere looking for something.
All Baimu looked up, seeing it looking for food, and knew it was mostly searching for the Thousand-Arms.
"Baga!"
Terapagos also lowered its long, thin neck, looked at All Baimu upside down, and shouted, clearly begging him for the Thousand-Arms.
All Baimu took it off his neck and handed it over, "You're persistent enough, but why did you fall asleep at the critical moment?"
Sleeping soundly when Arceus came, and wanting to stick to its Thousand-Arms after it left.
Terapagos didn't understand, but was happy to get the Thousand-Arms back. It bit the part of the Red Chain, swung it around its neck, and finally bit the Thousand-Arms body.
Hoopa looked at the little turtle, blinked and said, "Is this a new partner you captured? How strange!"
It hadn't noticed it before, thinking it was an ornament.
"Its name is Terapagos... Hoopa, you've really worked hard this time. Shall we go to the amusement park in a few days?"
All Baimu was determined to reward Hoopa well.
If it weren't for the fact that it was already dusk and sunset, he would have wanted to go now.
Hearing this, Hoopa cheered, "Great! Hoopa wants to go to the amusement park! Call Mary and Baraz to go together!"
"Of course!"
Both sides made an agreement.
Hoopa returned to Kalos full of expectations. Just in time, Baraz had been looking for his headscarf for half a day and almost went crazy.
Finding that it was taken by Hoopa, he was a little helpless.
All Baimu stayed in a local hotel in Sinnoh, preparing to search for clues everywhere tomorrow.
But what he didn't know was that in the dead of night.
Terapagos, holding the Thousand-Arms, shone brightly, suddenly releasing brilliance that included him and all his Pokémon.
Making the entire hotel room empty.
