Chapter 733

~11 min read 2,111 words

"Why me? There should be other better choices, right."

Qingyu asked back subconsciously, and also secretly pinched a cold sweat in his heart.

As a trainer or "educator", he had to admit that he did have talent.

Whether it was Nemona, Mewtwo, or the students of Naranja Academy and the broadcast room, they all progressed rapidly under his guidance, which was enough for Giovanni to entrust Silver to him.

But what is the price?

High EQ: The characteristics of the students taught by Teacher Yu are very obvious.

Low EQ: The soldiers brought by Qingyu are all quality-less, completely unlike a famous sect!

Even if he never thought about teaching Mewtwo any quality tactics, under the side-knocking of other students, this kid has already learned to be bad now.

And Silver himself is a newcomer with a strong purpose.

If one day in the future Silver participates in the world tournament, with a Murkrow in his left hand and a Sableye in his right hand, using all kinds of outrageous moves to kill the opponent, and happens to be seen by Giovanni...

Regardless of whether he is gratified or difficult to hold, I, this "master", will also be to blame, right!

"Don't rush to refuse, Teacher Yu."

Giovanni's expression was clearly interested, and he spoke decisively when Qingyu looked embarrassed.

"As an unqualified father, I owe Silver too much; if this is the last thing I can do for him, I hope I can find the most suitable teacher for him to guide him to grow into an excellent person."

"Among the new generation, at least in my opinion, there should be no one more suitable than you."

"Moreover, before finalizing the result, don't you want to hear the price I can offer first?"

After finishing, Giovanni smiled mysteriously, and then reached out to the inside of his suit.

???

Qingyu was directly stupid, so much so that even his brain stopped thinking for two or three seconds.

However, fortunately, Giovanni just reached into the pocket inside his clothes, and then generously displayed what he was carrying with him to Qingyu.

It was a huge feather that was slightly whitish and presented a light red overall, almost as long as his forearm.

Just by looking at this feather that was clearly unusual, Qingyu vaguely had sacred flames cheering and jumping in front of his eyes.

"This is..."

Qingyu muttered subconsciously.

"Rainbow Wing?"

Just by looking at the appearance, it is certain that this kind of feather is definitely not something that ordinary Pokémon can possess.

In Johto, there are only two choices that can meet the conditions: Moltres or Ho-Oh.

Combined with the fact that this is an item carried by Giovanni, Qingyu made a judgment decisively.

And while Giovanni nodded with a smile, confirming his guess, Qingyu couldn't help but think in his heart:

Mr. Lance, what are you International Police doing? How come you don't even know that Giovanni is carrying something of Mythical Pokémon specification!

I'm afraid even a body search wasn't done.

Looking at it this way, it feels like as long as Giovanni wants to run, he seems to have ten thousand ways...

However, how did Giovanni get such a rare thing?

In the animation, Ho-Oh is indeed a Mythical Pokémon that comes out to find a sense of existence when it has nothing to do, and is relatively friendly to humans, but Rainbow Wing is not something it will give to people casually.

According to legend, only those who have been recognized by Ho-Oh and have the qualifications to become a "Rainbow Hero" will get the Rainbow Wing as a token of the Mythical Pokémon, and at the same time open the layers of tests to become a hero.

But no matter how you think about it, Giovanni doesn't look like someone who can become a hero...

Taking all the confusion on Qingyu's face into his eyes, Giovanni soon showed a peaceful smile again and spoke with a smile.

"Teacher Yu, haven't you thought about it carefully?"

"If there were no 'power of God', how could Team Rocket break through the taboos, complete the feat of creating life from nothing, and create Mewtwo, whose potential is not inferior to legendary existences?"

"You shouldn't be a naive person, right? There won't really be anyone who thinks that with the mere technological power of humans, they can be powerful enough to approach the realm of God, right?"

While speaking, Giovanni reached out and fiddled with the Rainbow Wing in his hand.

When he spoke again, his tone already carried a bit of teasing.

"As a legendary Pokémon created directly by Arceus, the power that Ho-Oh holds happens to be related to life."

"If it weren't for its help, the limit that Team Rocket could master would probably only be a non-argument life form like Porygon."

"Fortunately, Ho-Oh has bad eyesight and actually chose me as a reserve for the Rainbow Hero, otherwise Mewtwo might not have been able to appear in this world at all."

"..."

Qingyu fell into silence.

For a moment, he even felt that he might have heard some incredible wild history, and it was the kind that was outrageous.

But if even Giovanni admitted it himself, it seems he has to believe it...

Perhaps because he completely let down his guard, in the following time, Giovanni told Qingyu everything he had experienced.

Before he took over Team Rocket, Team Rocket was just a scientific research organization dedicated to studying Mew.

Also because Giovanni was indeed very talented, he was able to get the favor of Ho-Oh and recognize his potential as a trainer.

And after getting the feather of Ho-Oh, the young Giovanni did not hesitate at all, and immediately began to study this feather full of life breath, and used the power in it to start gene cloning experiments.

However, just as Qingyu said to Silver back then.

All gifts of fate have already been marked with a price in the dark.

From a promising trainer to a villain leader, his changes were not understood by his wife, so one day she took the young Silver and left this home, and there has been no news since then.

Giovanni, who knew he owed the two of them, did not go to disturb their lives again, and even his wife's funeral was never seen by them again.

Until last month, Lance and Qingyu suddenly killed to Viridian Gym, completely disrupting Team Rocket's plan, and even he, as the leader, was defeated by Qingyu and sent in to eat prison food, and the incident came to an end.

"..."

Finally finishing listening to the gossip about Giovanni, Qingyu, who was already sitting on the floor with a heavy face, nodded slowly.

I'm afraid in Giovanni's view, doing so can at least protect Silver even if his plan fails, right?

He is not unable to understand; after all, judging from the personality Giovanni showed, he is definitely the kind of macho image who is unwilling to communicate with his family.

But the young Silver definitely wouldn't think so!

Perhaps, it was precisely because Giovanni had completely disappeared for these years, and even his mother's funeral did not see his figure, that Silver finally developed hatred for Giovanni and regarded him as an object that must be defeated...

However, Qingyu was really not interested in this kind of family ethics drama.

So after deep thought, Qingyu scratched his head and spoke decisively:

"If it's just teaching Silver, it's not impossible."

"However, since you know you are not a good father, why don't you try hard to make up for it, Boss Giovanni?"

After Qingyu finished speaking, he sighed.

"Although you, this father, are a bit rebellious + middle-two disease, and haven't done less bad things before, but... at least there is still room for remedy, right?"

"Now, let's do a simple analysis!"

"The main reasons why Silver will become paranoid and take defeating you as his life goal are two."

"First, you, as the leader of Team Rocket, have done a lot of bad things, and even touched gene experiments that crossed the moral bottom line, and for anyone with normal values, such terrifying things are unacceptable, right?"

"Second, because of your stubbornness as a head of the family, Silver has resentment toward you because of his mother's affairs, and this point cannot be washed away at all."

"That's why I said, as a father, you are really terrible, hey!"

"Ahem—"

As Qingyu stretched out two fingers and told the story, Giovanni, who was still sitting steadily, suddenly showed a bit of guilt.

Did I do so badly?

But Qingyu's words were not wrong; as a bystander, he saw through his problems at a glance.

Even if he was unwilling to admit it again, the truth had already been put on the table.

Giovanni's expression soon became strange, and after a while, he gradually firmed his belief, and the expression when looking at Qingyu was full of awareness.

"Say your answer, Teacher Yu."

"As long as I can let Silver forgive me, this father, I will not hesitate to do anything."

When speaking, his eyes were incomparably serious.

Perhaps the young Giovanni was a careerist with great ambitions, but for Giovanni, who had already entered middle age and had already completed his obsession, only one thing was left in his heart now—

Let Silver go home.

That's all.

If he could do it, even if he sacrificed everything he had, he would not hesitate.

Regarding this, Qingyu had a premonition long ago, so after snapping his fingers happily, he spoke again decisively.

"Wanting Silver to forgive you is actually quite simple to say."

"Compared to admitting guilt generously, throwing away your responsibilities and ignoring them, and letting the remaining remnants of Team Rocket continue to plan in the dark, taking responsibility for the things you have done in the past is what a real man should do."

"Am I right, Mr. Giovanni?"

Qingyu suddenly showed a smile.

Mouth escape, open!

"Just as you said just now, because of the many forces involved, Team Rocket cannot fall yet; even if you, as the source of all evil, are arrested, it is just entering a restricted retirement life in advance."

"Then, if we change our thinking and let Team Rocket welcome a gorgeous transformation after paying off the crimes they once committed?"

"Transforming from a dark force entrenched in the Kanto underground into a brand new Team Rocket that uses this technological power to change the world, such a goal should not be difficult for Boss Giovanni, right?"

"I dare not guarantee that Silver will forgive you because of this, but at least when the day you and your son meet..."

"I think even if you are defeated by Silver, you should have no regrets, Mr. Giovanni."

"After all, by then, what is left to Silver will be a brand new, vibrant Team Rocket that can make your child proud and stand tall."

"..."

Giovanni's eyes were suddenly a bit trance-like.

Honestly, he was really moved.

As a father, he not only didn't give Silver a happy childhood, but his actions were also very likely to implicate his only son.

If possible, he naturally wanted to make up for it to the greatest extent.

But...

"Teacher Yu, Team Rocket is not as simple as you think."

Giovanni shook his head.

"Team Rocket is a community formed by interests; except for those pure scientists, all cadres have their own ideas, and only enough attractive interests can make them obedient good dogs, and only I can hold them down."

"Therefore, the moment I was defeated, the disintegration of Team Rocket was already a matter of time."

"Perhaps with Archer, Proton, and Ariana, the situation can be temporarily stabilized, but Lance and Lambda... they will take action sooner or later."

"These are not problems."

Qingyu suddenly spoke, interrupting Giovanni's words.

"As the leader of Team Rocket, Mr. Giovanni, you shouldn't be afraid of your subordinates, right?"

"Perhaps the process will encounter many difficulties, but... I think such a result is the best, and I believe other Team Rocket members will accept it."

"After all, compared to the bottomless darkness, the rainbow after the rain is more yearning, right?"

After Qingyu spoke with a smile, Giovanni soon fell into silence.

As a qualified leader, he never denies the sins he once committed, and also knows that he will face judgment sooner or later.

As a qualified villain, being able to exit in time might already be the best ending for him.

But now, Qingyu actually proposed a solution that sounds very interesting.
