Chapter 570: Rocket Team Stealing Sheep Milk, Fertility King and the Four Calamities
Takagi?
Upon seeing the visitor, Shizuru's initial thought was that they had come to recapture Mewtwo.
However, as Shizuru listened to Takagi's words, he was momentarily stunned.
Takagi's sharp eyes, like those of an eagle, fixed on him.
"It seems you remember me, sir," he said.
"It seems Takagi isn't here for Mewtwo," Shizuru thought.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he composed himself and politely said, "Hello, Mr. Takagi. Were you talking about discussing the Rapid Dragon Delivery Service in the Kanto and Johto regions?"
Takagi nodded slightly. "Indeed. Rapid Dragon Pokemon are incredibly fast, making them ideal for delivery services. They have immense potential, and I'm willing to offer 50 million League Coins on behalf of Silver Corporation to launch the Rapid Dragon Express in Kanto and Johto."
Takagi seemed sincere.
However, Shizuru felt something was amiss, and he was perplexed.
Given Takagi's identity and status, the Rapid Dragon Express probably wasn't a big deal to him.
Yet, at this very moment, he had personally come to the farm, intending to unlock the Rapid Dragon Express in Kanto and Johto...
It was all too strange.
"I wonder if Mr. Takagi knows why I haven't unlocked the delivery service in Kanto and Johto," Shizuru asked in return.
Takagi nodded. "Of course. If I'm not mistaken, you're concerned about the evil organizations and Pokemon hunters in those regions harming the Rapid Dragons, right?"
Shizuru remained noncommittal. "I've heard of Team Rocket even in the Paldea region. They're known for stealing Trainers' Pokemon, even going as far as sneaking into Pokemon Centers to steal Pokemon undergoing treatment."
Takagi: "..."
He paused for a moment before speaking, "You can rest assured, sir. I can guarantee the safety of the Rapid Dragons."
Shizuru raised an eyebrow, surprised. "You know Team Rocket?"
"Of course not," Takagi said, his expression unchanged. "I'm well-acquainted with the local League officers, and I can ask them to look after the Rapid Dragons, ensuring their safety."
Shizuru: "..." He was still putting on an act.
This made the situation even more suspicious! Why was Takagi so persistent about launching the Rapid Dragon Express in Kanto and Johto? If Shizuru didn't know Takagi's true identity and Team Rocket's infiltration in those regions, he might have agreed.
But the issue was that, despite Takagi's charismatic and ambitious villainous role, Shizuru still disliked him because he detested the act of stealing Pokemon.
More importantly, Mewtwo disliked Takagi, and it hated Team Rocket. If Mewtwo found out about his collaboration with someone like Takagi, it would likely be disappointed, right?
With this in mind, Shizuru directly rejected Takagi's offer.
"Better safe than sorry," Shizuru said. "I've heard that Team Rocket's influence extends throughout Kanto and Johto. Until their leader is arrested and the team disbanded, I won't consider launching the delivery service in those regions."
Takagi: "..."
"So, please leave," Shizuru said.
Takagi sighed. "I understand. Here's my phone number. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me."
As he spoke, Takagi handed over a business card.
He was still maintaining his persona as a young entrepreneur.
Shizuru took the card, intending to discard it once Takagi left.
Just then, Takagi asked about something else.
"By the way, I heard you have a type of sheep milk that can instantly heal Pokemon. Can I take some back with me?"
Sheep milk? He meant Life Sheep Milk.
Shizuru nodded. "Of course, but there's a limit of one bottle per person per day."
Even a limit? Takagi's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"What if I offer a higher price?" he asked.
"No!" Shizuru shook his head. "Even the Champion is limited to purchasing a certain amount when they come here."
Jokingly, Yuci had long ago set her sights on their Life Sheep Milk and wanted to purchase it in large quantities, but Shizuru hadn't agreed.
Not to mention Takagi.
Takagi: "..."
It was understandable for a trainer of his caliber to have his own temperament and rules.
"In that case, I won't disturb you any further," Takagi said, returning to his elite demeanor.
He turned and left the farm, and as he boarded his private jet back to Kanto, his secretary, Makoto, called via video communication.
"How did it go, boss?"
The moment Takagi stepped onto the plane, he transformed into a completely different person, his aura shifting from a young entrepreneur to a sinister underworld boss.
Half of his face was shrouded in shadow, his lips set in a straight line, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
Shame.
From their brief conversation, Takagi had seen through Shizuru's character.
The trainer named Shizuru, like Wataru, was the same type of person—hating evil, kind-hearted...
Such a person would never join Team Rocket. If he was willing, Takagi wouldn't mind making him the second-in-command, a position just below him with authority over everyone else, to conquer the world together.
"Boss?" After a long silence, Jiniao asked in confusion, seeing that Takagi hadn't responded.
"Hmm," Takagi replied succinctly, "He refused to work with me."
Hearing this, Jiniao furrowed his brows. How dare someone reject their boss!
"Who dares to refuse you?" A male voice suddenly came through the phone.
"Apollo? What are you doing there?" Takagi lifted his head.
"I came to headquarters to report on the situation in the Seven Island Region. Apollo continued, "Boss, tell me who it is, and I'll teach them a lesson on your behalf!"
Takagi: "..."
This "adorable" subordinate of his wanted him dead.
"Don't provoke them," Takagi warned.
Based on his recent observations, Shizuru clearly had more than just those Legendary Pokemon, and it was highly likely that many other Legendary Pokemon had not yet revealed themselves.
For instance, the crimson Dragon Pokemon by his side just moments ago—the aura and energy emanating from it clearly indicated that it was no ordinary Pokemon.
Seeing Takagi's reaction, Apollo was surprised but still suppressed the thoughts in his mind. "Yes, sir!"
"So, what should we do now?" Jiniao asked.
Takagi lightly tapped the table with his knuckles, and after a while, he spoke, "Take a group to the Sinnoh Region or the Johto Region. Download the Pokemon Shopping App there and go to a store called Tree's Home. Purchase a type of sheep milk called Life Sheep Milk and deliver it all to headquarters."
Jiniao and Apollo: "?"
"Also, pass down the order that no one is to capture those Rapidash delivery Pokemon. If anyone dares to disobey, they will be immediately dismissed from Team Rocket." Takagi commanded.
"Yes, sir!" Jiniao and Apollo didn't dare ask further questions and quickly agreed.
"Alright, go carry out the mission!"
The communication ended, and Takagi rubbed his temples.
Shizuru... If only such talent could join Team Rocket, but unfortunately...
At the same time, a large group of Team Rocket members in various parts of the Kanto Region received a new mission simultaneously.
But when they read the content of the mission, they were all stunned.
Although they didn't know the circumstances, this was an order from the boss, and there must be a reason for it!
So, a swarm of Team Rocket members started buying plane and boat tickets, flooding into the Johto and Sinnoh Regions.
Without rest, they immediately stood in airports and ports, opening their Lotad Phones, logging into the shopping app, searching for the relevant store, and clicking on Life Sheep Milk to purchase it.
This was a mission personally issued by Boss Takagi, and if they could complete it first, they would surely gain his favor and receive a promotion and a raise.
But the next second, they saw the words 'Sold Out' displayed on the sheep milk.
What was going on?
After a quick inquiry, the Team Rocket members discovered that the store was only open for eight hours a day, and the most popular Life Sheep Milk would be sold out as soon as it was stocked at 7 AM every morning.
Those with slow reflexes wouldn't stand a chance.
So, this group of Team Rocket members waited and waited, from day to night and then from night back to day.
The next morning, they were awakened by their alarms and immediately started frantically purchasing the sheep milk on their phones.
But as soon as their phone screens jumped to the store interface, they saw the remaining quantity of sheep milk rapidly decreasing.
It was too late; they had to hurry! In just five minutes, five hundred bottles of sheep milk were sold out.
The Team Rocket members were dumbfounded.
"I got one!" cried the successful buyer, overwhelmed with joy.
"Damn it! The network lagged!" Those who missed out were so frustrated they almost threw their phones.
"We must hurry and present it to the boss!"
At 10 AM, ten bottles of sheep milk were delivered to Takagi from the Johto and Sinnoh Regions.
Looking at the sheep milk, Takagi fell into silence.
So many people, and they only managed to get ten bottles?
"Boss, what should we do?" Jiniao asked.
"Forget it. Give those who succeeded a bonus. Also, take these two bottles to the lab and hand them over to the researchers for a thorough study!" Takagi instructed.
"Understood!" Jiniao acknowledged, picking up two bottles of Life Sheep Milk and preparing to leave.
"There's one more thing!" Takagi added.
Jiniao stopped in his tracks, turned back, and respectfully awaited his boss's instructions.
"Let them continue tomorrow."
"Yes, sir!"
When Takagi arrived at the farm, Shizuru informed Mewtwo about it that very night.
Mewtwo: "What's his purpose for coming here?"
】
【Wing King: He probably wanted Life Sheep Milk, but I refused.】
Mewtwo no longer had any feelings for Takagi.
After so many years of traveling, it knew that there were many people in the world, people like Takagi, and people like Shizuru and Ash.
As long as they didn't disturb their peaceful lives, that was all that mattered.
【Mewtwo: I understand, I won't feel lost anymore.】
Seeing Mewtwo's response, Shizuru sent an OK emoji.
Since Mewtwo no longer cared, why was he still so concerned?
Shizuru put the matter out of his mind.
Today was March 27th, League Year 202, and spring had already reached its end without anyone noticing.
Everything was as usual on the farm. The Three Bees diligently collected honey, the Big Butterfly danced among the flowers, Babu Tubba guarded the chicken coop, Swinub played with Salt Rock Golems, and Eevil Pom hosted a tea party in the garden with Showoff and the Fertility King...
Qi Shu's Mini Magneton also stayed on the farm, following an elite system. Together with Mini Magneton, there were only seven Pokemon.
The other six were taken to the Gym by Qi Shu, leaving only one Mini Magneton in the living room, absorbing electricity next to the TV.
The lawn on the farm was a bit overgrown, so Shizuru decided to mow it. He pushed the lawnmower out of the storage shed and began trimming the grass.
Gogoat and Skiddo lay leisurely nearby, enjoying the pleasant afternoon.
When Shizuru pushed the lawnmower, Eevil Pom waved and greeted him from the garden.
"Boni~!"
"You guys play! I'll trim this lawn!" Shizuru said with a smile.
Just then, he suddenly saw the Ancient Saber Cat, Ancient Chalice Deer, Ancient Jade Fish, and Ancient Scroll Snail surrounding the Fertility King from a distance.
They seemed to regard the Fertility King as a "King."
What was going on? The Fertility King immediately noticed Shizuru's gaze shifting between it and the Ancient Chalice Deer. Sensing the thoughts of its little believer, it communicated telepathically:
"My charm has conquered the Ancient Chalice Deer. These four Pokemon willingly submit to me."
Not long ago, while it was tending to the flowers on the farm, the Ancient Chalice Deer sensed its power and willingly pledged their allegiance, forming a bond with it.
Just like a thousand years ago, it had a similar bond with its two beloved horses.
Hearing the Fertility King's words, Shizuru was slightly taken aback.
From a Divine Pokemon... Was it a relationship like Ho-Oh with the Three Holy Beasts, Lugia, and the Three Sacred Birds? But on second thought, after the Ancient Saber Cat and Ancient Jade Fish's powers were reversed, they became quite similar to the Fertility King... Perhaps this was the reason they felt close to the Fertility King? As images of the Four Calamities' past experiences flashed through his mind, Shizuru nodded and said, "That's good too."
Maybe in the future, the legend of the Fertility King and its Bountiful Guard would spread throughout the world.
A gentle smile appeared on the Fertility King's face.
Terror Gourd saw that the Fertility King had finished the red tea, so it quickly floated up and poured new tea from the Sorrow Tea on the table.
Across from them, Eevil Pom and Showoff happily raised their cups, enjoying the spring tea party with the Fertility King.
"Boni~!"
Meanwhile, on the vast ocean, the calm sea reflected the azure sky, and white clouds drifted slowly over the mirror-like waters, making it difficult to distinguish between sea and sky for a moment.
Several Wingulls perched on a coconut tree on a small island.
Their gaze turned to the sea not far away, where a colossal creature was partially submerged, slowly moving across the water.
It was the Roaring Whale, the largest Pokemon in the ocean.
On the back of the Roaring Whale stood a Pokemon with orange-red fur.
This Pokemon's limbs were incredibly strong and muscular, adorned with iron rings. Its cheeks bore a red, six-pointed star-shaped structure, and its forehead featured a three-leaf clover-like golden shell.
Its mane, resembling white smoke, gently swayed in the sea breeze, creating a graceful appearance.
This was Flareon, who had departed from Sinnoh, strictly following Ho-Oh's orders to journey to another continent.
At this moment, Flareon's expression was more solemn than ever.
It gazed at the endless sea, its expression grave.
Two days had passed since it departed from Tianqing Mountain, and it was only thanks to the Pokemon named Roaring Whale that it was able to cross the ocean.
However, when would it finally arrive...
Waveon and Thunderon must have already reached the other land by now, right? Yet here it was, leisurely advancing under the scorching sun and waves.
At that moment, a thought crossed Flareon's mind.
It would be great to be able to fly.
