"...bonds."
After a moment's thought, Red said a word that he felt was quite apt, and it was also the most basic thing between humans and Pokémon.
While a Pokémon's potential isn't solely determined by bond, its full potential also requires nurturing and training from its trainer.
but.
Bonds are absolutely crucial and play a significant role in everything we do. They are the most important element. No matter what humans and Pokémon do, it is all built upon these bonds!
This is the foundation, and also the most important part.
"So, Red-kun, how much do you think the bond system can help humans unleash the potential of Pokémon? To what extent can it be unleashed?"
Upon hearing this answer, Akromar shook his head in dissatisfaction and turned to Crimson, asking again.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Crimson frowned, pondered for a moment, and only had a vague answer. Just as he was about to say something...
[Ding-dong! Mr. Red, your Pokémon has been healed. Please proceed to the counter to collect it!]
[Ding-dong! Mr. Red, your Pokémon has been healed. Please proceed to the counter to collect it!]
[Ding-dong! Mr. Red, your Pokémon is healed...]
The Pokémon Center's announcement interrupted Red's opening remarks and ended Acromata's attempt to ask further questions...
“Red-kun, I am a Pokémon professor, and the subject of my research is (what unleashes the potential of Pokémon?).”
Upon hearing the broadcast, Akromar knew that his communication with Crimson had ended. He shook his head slightly with regret and said:
"Red Lord, you are an exceptionally talented trainer, and also a rare and outstanding research subject for me. If you believe in the bond between human and Pokémon!"
"Then, please use this to become stronger and prove to me that the bond between humans and Pokémon can unleash the potential of Pokémon!"
After saying that, Akromar ignored Crimson's reaction, turned around, and left.
"..."
Crimson stood up from his chair, watched Akromah's departing figure, and shook his head helplessly.
These days, all the Pokémon professors are abnormal, so Professor Oak seems to be the normal one.
For example, this Akroma accepted Ghetto's invitation to join Team Plasma because of his research on the 1.6 theme, "What unlocks the potential of Pokémon?".
In order to get the answer and complete the research, this guy resorted to any means necessary, and he himself was also regarded as a research subject by the other party.
"..."
Chi Hong pondered for a moment, then shook his head and put the matter aside for the time being. After all, as long as it didn't harm him or his family and friends, it didn't matter.
Subsequently.
Then, taking Pikachu and Eevee with him, they headed towards the counter at the Pokémon Center, put away all the Poké Balls, and left the Pokémon Center.
........................................
129. Rainbow Arcade, broken into Team Rocket's underground base! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
Yuhong Game Center!
"..."
Red arrived here with Pikachu, glanced around the arcade, and frowned, sensing the unsettling atmosphere emanating from it.
Later.
I stepped inside.
As for Ibrahimovic, he'll be infiltrating Team Rocket's base later, and this arcade is very likely Team Rocket's base.
Therefore, to prevent any unnecessary accidents from happening, Red recalled Eevee into its Poké Ball.
...
...
"Hello, welcome to Yuhong Arcade! Would you like to play some games? We have all kinds of arcade machines here!"
As soon as I entered and approached the counter, the saleswoman greeted me with a smile and introduced the arcade to me.
"..."
Crimson glanced around the arcade, searching for anything suspicious, and nodded subtly.
After exchanging some game tokens with the waitress, Chi Hong went into the arcade and played a slot machine while secretly observing the arcade.
They are looking for any information about Team Rocket's secret base.
After all, most people who come to 23 Game Hall are there to play games. If you're the only one wandering around here, it's hard not to suspect something.
Moreover, Crimson was planning to infiltrate, and the arcade was much busier now, making it a good opportunity to find the location of the secret base.
...
...
Click!
With a game coin, Chi Hong casually tossed it into the game machine, pressed the start button, and the screen began to rotate.
A moment later, amidst the somewhat numb expressions of the other onlookers, three more large, fat avatars that they had seen many times before appeared on the screen.
Immediately afterwards, a huge amount of game coins poured out of the exit, adding even more to the already piled-up game coins in the game slot below.
"Pikachu~~"
Pikachu, perched on Red's shoulder, watched as Red casually produced three more fat creatures, and yawned in boredom.
At the same time, he glanced around and spotted two suspicious people walking towards the corridor at the back of the arcade.
Immediately, she poked the red thing with her little hand as a gesture.
"..."
Red noticed the two people and sensed the same aura emanating from them as Team Rocket. He nodded to Pikachu.
He immediately stood up, picked up the game tokens, exchanged a few skill machines with the staff, and then exchanged the remaining game tokens for League Coins.
Crimson left the Jade Rainbow Arcade.
...
...
It was night, nearing midnight.
At this time, although the lights were still on in the Yuhong Game Hall, there were not many people playing there anymore. Many customers seemed to have received some kind of notice and left.
Meanwhile, in the Yuhong Game Hall, on a corridor leading to the backstage area, two figures, one tall and one short, were walking.
After walking through the long corridor, we arrived at the end and entered the backstage area of the arcade.
There, in front of a poster, stood a Team Rocket member wearing a black uniform with a red "R" logo on his chest.
He carefully looked around, then slowly lifted a corner of the poster to reveal a combination lock embedded in the wall, and gently entered the secret.
Instantly.
Click!
Suddenly, the floorboards on the side fell down one by one, forming a staircase leading to the underground!
But, it was at this moment.
"Who?"
Suddenly feeling panicked and heightened with vigilance, the Team Rocket member immediately turned around and focused his gaze on the doorway.
"..."
There, a boy, dressed in a black shirt, black trousers, and a red and white jacket, with short black hair, wore a red and white Poké Ball cap and had a Pikachu on his shoulder.
A pair of crimson eyes peeked out from under the brim of a red and white baseball cap, staring directly at the Team Rocket member.
"Oh, so it's just a child."
Seeing the other person's expression, the Team Rocket member breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, a smile appeared on his face as he looked at the boy and said:
"Hey, is the child lost? Did your parents tell you not to wander off?"
"Now that you've seen some things that adults shouldn't have seen, let the adults teach you a lesson and make you suffer a bit."
"So you won't run around like that next time!"
As he spoke, he took out a red and white Poké Ball from his waist, a cruel smile appearing on his lips, and slowly walked towards the boy.
However, the words had barely left his mouth when...
"Pikachu!"
The Pikachu on the boy's shoulder suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, its figure appeared above the Team Rocket member.
Before the Team Rocket member's surprised and terrified eyes, he raised his lightning-shaped tail, covered in a metallic sheen, and slammed it down.
bump!
The Team Rocket members collapsed to the ground, unconscious, and were then broken in four places by the boy, who then had Pikachu unleash an electromagnetic wave.
It was thrown into an inconspicuous corner.
The boy, with Pikachu in tow, stepped onto the steps and headed towards the secret base hidden underground.
...
...
"who?"
As soon as they entered the underground passage, two Team Rocket members guarding the entrance noticed that the newcomer was not one of their own.
They immediately took out their respective red and white Poké Balls and threw them out. A Zubat and a Rattata appeared on the left and right sides in front of them.
"...870..."
The boy looked at the two Team Rocket members, along with Zubat, Rattata, and the alarm that would flash red the moment he entered.
