Chapter 730

Time came to March 30, Monday.

Originally, according to Qingyu's idea, after the match, he planned to take a day off alone and go shopping in Goldenrod City with Champion Zhulan.

It's just a pity that because of the working day and the end of the month, Champion Zhulan needs to return to the Sinnoh League as soon as possible to complete the work she has accumulated during this time.

As a champion, it is true that Champion Zhulan has always been quite free, and even has time to suddenly disappear for a month to follow the team for archaeology.

However, the main reason is because there is a roll-king Lucian among the new Sinnoh Elite Four who is too reliable and makes people feel at ease to hand over their backs to him.

However, this Psychic Master Tournament Lucian was also a contestant; by the end of the month, he also had a pile of work accumulated in his hands, and clearly had no extra energy to help the champion lady share the burden.

In the week or so that Lucian was away, the Sinnoh League was completely handed over to the two living treasures, Flint and Aaron; even with the supervision of the old senior Elite Four Bertha, I don't know if they will make any moths.

Regarding the ability of the two to not do their proper jobs and make trouble, Lucian has a deep understanding.

So the match had just ended, and under Lucian's urging, Champion Zhulan and Caitlin took the ferry back to Sinnoh.

Leaving only one sentence:

"I always feel that Lucian is more suitable to be a champion than me..."

Regarding this, Qingyu expressed deep agreement.

Champion Zhulan is of course a good champion with powerful strength and the ability to turn the tide at critical moments, but it feels that in terms of sense of responsibility and career heart, Lucian is still better.

Perhaps after Champion Zhulan has the idea of retiring in the future, the one who will take over the champion's responsibilities from her will be Lucian.

Since the plan has changed, Qingyu staying in Goldenrod City instantly became boring.

However, just when he also planned to take a Dragonite flight back to Paldea, Lance suddenly called.

"Hey, Teacher Yu..."

"Are you free today? Giovanni wants to see you again."

About an hour later, Qingyu and Lance took a Dragonite to a strange building near Viridian Forest.

Judging from the elite officers guarding the surroundings, is this where Giovanni is being held?

Jumping off the Dragonite's back, while his feet touched the ground, Qingyu was also silently observing the situation nearby.

However... why does it feel like since they discovered me, the eyes of these guards are a bit hot?

"Look, it's actually Teacher Yu!"

"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to see Teacher Yu with my own eyes; if only I could take a photo with him."

"Hehe... Teacher Yu, hehe..."

Because the surroundings were very quiet, the whispers of the officers clearly became loud conspiracies, which were heard clearly by Qingyu and Lance.

If it weren't for the work at hand, they would probably have come over to strike up a conversation, right!

Is Johto really okay?

"Ahem—"

After noticing the complex emotions on Qingyu's face, Lance coughed seriously.

Seeing that the superior's expression was unkind, after being reminded, the surrounding officers immediately stood at attention and were honest; after taking the initiative to open the door for Lance, they still looked at the two entering the building with a serious face.

"Because of the previous videos like the Siege Team and Sunny Team, there are many fans of yours, Qingyu, in the League, including many Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys; I think you should know that, right?"

In the quiet corridor, Lance suddenly spoke, finding a reason for the officers' lack of proper work just now.

Of course, what he was actually thinking in his heart was:

These little rabbits, it seems that they are indeed too slack after Team Rocket is gone; in the future, other cadres must be asked to manage them more!

Extra training, must be severely extra training!

"Mm... it seems there is such a thing."

After being reminded by Lance, Qingyu suddenly realized.

Should I say it is worthy of being me? Giovanni named me to chat with me, and many League officers are my fans...

What is called the head coach of both black and white! (Hands on hips)

Of course, he definitely couldn't say this in front of Lance, so he could only complain secretly in his heart.

"Here."

Not long after walking, Lance stopped in front of a tightly locked password door.

"After the last operation, Giovanni, who had already admitted his failure, was secretly transferred here, and the outside world has lost all information about him since then."

"Although I am very unwilling to admit it, but... currently, Giovanni really cannot die; letting him live is the best choice."

"If it weren't for Giovanni saying that he wanted to chat with you, Teacher Yu, about Mewtwo, I wouldn't have planned to tell you this, but as one of the parties involved, Teacher Yu does indeed have the right to know."

"I understand."

Qingyu nodded.

Regarding why Giovanni suddenly asked to chat with him, Qingyu also had a rough idea in his heart.

Calculating from his experience since coming to Johto, it's nothing more than Silver or Mewtwo...

It just so happened that he also had some things he wanted to confirm with this old man, so he agreed to Lance's coming here decisively.

After skillfully entering the password to open the door, Lance immediately took the initiative to give up half a position.

"I won't go in."

Lance waved his hand, signaling Qingyu to enter by himself.

"If I go in with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but give that guy two punches."

As Lance, who regards absolute justice as his life creed, letting Giovanni continue to live in this world is probably also a very difficult thing for him to accept.

Qingyu thought so, and soon walked in.

Inside was a single room that looked a bit simple, empty except for a desk, a TV, and a bed.

As for Giovanni, he was leaning against the head of the bed at this time, leisurely holding a book and reading it carefully.

Perhaps it was the sound of the door opening that attracted the attention of this former Team Rocket leader; when Qingyu looked at him, Giovanni had already noticed their two guests.

"Long time no see, Qingyu-kun."

After seeing Qingyu, Giovanni immediately put down the book in his hand and greeted him with a smile.

Judging from his performance, Qingyu was more like a guest visiting a friend's house than a prison visit.

If you ignore the iron bars between the two.

Regarding the strange sense of relaxation shown by Giovanni, Qingyu was also a bit confused for a while.

After all, in the incident of clearing Team Rocket back then, it was he who joined forces with Mew to defeat Giovanni and sent this Team Rocket leader in to eat prison food.

The two have a "life-and-death" friendship.

So no matter how deep the city government is, at this time, should there be at least a few yin and yang strange words?

Just when Qingyu was confused and didn't know how to reply, Giovanni on the other side seemed to see through his thoughts, so he took the initiative to speak:

"Don't think too much, Qingyu-kun."

"Don't confuse me with those unclassy villains; my mind is not that narrow."

Giovanni walked up and tidied up the black suit that had already been sat with wrinkles on the bed across the railing.

"For me, victory or defeat is just a result that needs to be accepted; from the beginning, I had already made psychological expectations that I would fail one day."

"Besides, so what if Team Rocket fails? I, who have been deeply bound to the League, have the worst result of just entering a restricted retirement life in advance like now."

"Taking a step back, if I really cared so much about gains and losses, I wouldn't have opened my mouth to entrust Mewtwo to you, Qingyu-kun, right?"

When speaking, Giovanni remained slow and orderly; if it were seen by someone who didn't know the truth, he even had quite a bit of gentlemanly demeanor.

Hearing Giovanni's words, Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and also complained silently in his heart.

What is called entrusting Mewtwo to me...

It was clearly me who defeated you head-on and liberated Mewtwo from the hands of the evil Team Rocket, okay!

Moreover, how can someone be locked up and still wear a proper suit every day? Is the occupational disease so serious?

"Let's skip the pleasantries and get straight to the point, Boss Giovanni."

"I heard that you want to chat with me about Mewtwo?"

After Qingyu got straight to the point, Giovanni nodded soon.

"That's right; after all, although there are many restrictions here, fortunately, I didn't miss the heroic posture of 'Teacher Yu' in this Master Tournament, and I also want to congratulate Qingyu-kun for sweeping the opponents and winning the championship."

"So Qingyu-kun should also know what I want to know, right?"

"..."

Qingyu was silent for a moment and showed a calm smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to Mewtwo's Mega Evolution phenomenon, right?"

Regarding the most impressive scene of himself in this Master Tournament, Qingyu didn't need to think too much.

Mewtwo is a Pokémon that is very strange to countless audiences, and even the students in Paldea who have dealt with it a lot don't know its true combat power now.

What's more, it, which was already powerful, could go a step further, completely release its psychic power, and change into a more flexible and powerful form.

Even Giovanni, who has studied Mew's genes for many years and created Mewtwo, a man-made Pokémon, probably doesn't know at all that it has such terrifying potential.

"That's right."
