Chapter 123: Dining Together
The food delivery staff are very knowledgeable, put down the food truck and left, and did not forget to bow to their boss before leaving, it can be seen that the hierarchy within Team Rocket is still quite strict.
"The efficiency is quite high~" Sora followed behind the iron-armored tyrannosaurus and walked towards the rest point next to the training ground step by step. There are many food trucks, filled with vegetables, tree fruits, aquatic products, grains and other foods, and it is clear that Sakaki has taken all the elves' share into account.
"Come on, you're welcome." Sakaki beckoned to the air. When he said this, he smiled a little like the uncle next door, and his rebellious appearance during the earlier battle was almost like two people, making it difficult to distinguish which side of him was the most real.
"Here we are." However, this did not affect Sora to enjoy the food, and after releasing Lara and Mimi to let them move freely, he also set his sights on the food in front of him. I happened to see Sakaki wiping his hands with a wet towel unhurriedly, and then picked out two empty bottles of red wine from a small Xiaoice bucket that could not be named, but were worth a lot of money at first glance.
"Hey, it's not good to drink after exercising." Sora said to Sakaki while making himself a sandwich with ready-made ingredients. After exercise, the blood will concentrate in the muscles, making it difficult for the stomach and liver to break down alcohol, and the alcohol itself has the function of accelerating blood flow, which increases the burden on the heart and blood vessels.
"Oh? Thank you for your concern. But......" Sakaki smiled, then expertly uncorked the wine with the corkscrew, "this wine is not for me." ”
"Huh?"
In his astonished gaze, Sakaki took two bottles of red wine and handed them to King Nido and the Iron Tyrannosaurus Claw.
"Drink to the elves? No problem? Sora watched as the two elves took the bottles and poured them into their mouths, and it was certainly not the first time that they had seen that look of enjoyment.
"You don't have much contact with ground elves, do you?" Sakaki just glanced at his elves and ignored them, and instead enjoyed the food on the food truck himself, explaining to Sora while eating: "Ground elves are generally large, so they are extremely strong and have a lot of stamina. But few people will know how much exertion an elf who manipulates that body for constant combat will endure. Red wine can prevent arteriosclerosis and reduce blood clots, and proper consumption is very helpful for them. ”
"That's ......"
Before Sora could reply, he listened to the other party's words: "Hey, for me, elves are just tools, but tools are not worthy of hands, aren't they?" ”
"Tools?" With an empty brow, Sakaki's words reminded him of a line: All Pokémon exist for the glory of Team Rocket. At the end of the day, are some things the same no matter what world you are in?
Seeing Sora's expression was a little gloomy, Sakaki said again: "You probably will be wrong about what I mean, although it is a tool, but who can say that the tool is not worthy of careful maintenance by the owner?" ”
Sakaki never forgot the Black Alliance: "But in the alliance, those guys who regard elves as partners and comrades-in-arms are overdrawing the vitality of elves again and again. ”
"This is human beings, both greedy and despicable, hehe......" At the end, Sakaki let out a sneer of unknown meaning, but he didn't know that he even scolded himself.
A well-maintained tool? Interesting. Sora silently thought in his heart, this was the first time he had heard such remarks.
Although he was noncommittal about Sakaki's opinion, he could hear that the Rocket boss was not a ruthless and unrighteous person. Think about it, although there are good and bad trainers in this world, no matter who you are, if you want to really exert the power of the elves, you can't do it without having deep feelings for them. Elves may be very simple, but they can easily tell which ones really care about them.
"Ahem! Hah-"
At this time, Nana's side had another situation, it turned out that she saw that the ironclad tyrannosaurus red wine was drinking, and she couldn't help but "steal" a bottle herself. But as soon as the scarlet wine was in her mouth, she found that she had been pitted, and she was pitted by her greedy self.
"Ha, haha~" is sour and astringent, what is this! Nana threw the bottle behind her in disgust.
"Boom-" The bottle slashed in the air in a graceful curve, and was being tossed into the unsuspecting air.
"What the hell!" Sora, who was fighting the sandwich, heard the sound of the air breaking, and hurriedly turned around, and his right hand reached out like lightning to steadily copy the bottle in his hand. When I turned my head, I saw the sun elf with a sneering expression.
"Na! Graceful! His empty eyes lit up, and he said word by word, "I told you not to use [Mental Power] indiscriminately!" ”
"Bah!"
As a result, Nana only had time to let out an exclamation before her master took her into the ball.
"Humph! If you don't teach you a lesson, you won't have a long memory! Sora said angrily, then ignored Nana's pleading little eyes and locked the Poké Ball switch. Nini "said" is right, this girl eats and sleeps all day long, and it is absolutely no problem to be hungry for one or two meals.
"Babble, babble!" Nana's sullen cry came from the ball, meaning: You wait for me!
"......" didn't speak, but just took a big bite of the rich, juicy sandwich in front of her, and then chewed it deliciously.
"Goo." Nana swallowed with great difficulty, and then ......
"Crackle!"
The Poké Ball shook violently.
"Haha, this sun elf has lived with you for a long time, right?" Sakaki looked at the two main pets who were still competing with each other through the Poké Ball, and felt a little funny.
"Well, she's been with me since she was still in the egg." When he said this, a few traces of nostalgia flashed in his empty eyes, and at that time, Nana was super well-behaved!
"No wonder......" Sakaki stopped what he was doing, he had wondered how a small elf who was not known for his physical strength could last so long in a tug-of-war with an ironclad tyrannosaurus. Elves are made powerful by emotion.
But while emotions make elves strong, they can also make trainers weak.
Immediately, he glanced at the little boy who was grimacing at the Poké Ball, I hope you don't understand too late......
After a ticket of elves was full of wine and food, Sakaki asked someone to remove the dining car, and after a short rest, he started a new round of training with Sora.
With the guidance of Sakaki, Sora learns quickly, but if you really want to ask him what he has learned, it should be a combat skill, a skill that can improve the execution of elves. Most trainers develop a few sets of tactics before a battle, but how do you make sure they will work on a rapidly changing battlefield? It's just a matter of seeing which trainer has more comprehensive information and data. Of course, this is in the case of ignoring the secret skills such as [Rejuvenation Roar], [Get Away], and [You Can Do It].
Sora also discovered during his training that Sakaki is not only a master of the ground system, he actually has a deep understanding of various attributes, even the steel system, which has only been around for a long time, and other knowledge such as venues, moves, and characteristics are also treasured. It's not hard to get this knowledge, it's hard to get it all together. So, the more you get to know Sora Sakaki, the more suspicious you become, how exactly did Ash defeat this terrible enemy? Defeated twice? (Teenager, the protagonist's aura to learn about it)
After he left, Sakaki looked at a deserted corner of the training ground and shouted, "It's okay, Ah Ju, come out." ”
"Brush!"
Before he could finish speaking, a figure appeared behind him. Sakaki was obviously already familiar with the other party's elusive appearance, and turned around slowly.
"Your Excellency!" Ah Ju landed lightly, and then saluted his boss. is also one of the three major cadres of Team Rocket (there are only two of them here, and Miss Nazi will come out later), his relationship with Sakaki is a little closer, their family is not prosperous, and they have been attached to the Sakaki family since a long time ago, just like the retainers of the Warring States period in District 11.
For this respect, Sakaki just waved his hand indifferently, he had already told the other party that it didn't have to be like this, but Ah Ju always took the word "master and slave" very seriously in his heart. The Team Rocket boss is fed up with the awe of others, and naturally finds the kind of friend-like gossip when communicating with Sora is good.
"I'll keep you waiting." Sakaki could see that Ah Ju's face was a little tired.
"Where, waiting and silence are mandatory for ninjas." Ah Ju shook his head and said. With his stamina, he was fine standing there for a few days without eating or drinking, but in order to avoid being seen through by the young man named "Sora", he had to expend more effort to restrain his breath, which made him look a little tired.
As if he had figured out the reason, the corners of Sakaki's mouth curled, and he said as he walked, "It's not bad, this boy." ”
"Hmm......" Ah Ju followed the boss half a step behind, he first lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then replied cautiously: "Personal quality and elf strength are all the best choices, even captain-level people in the organization are probably not his opponents." With this kind of strength at a young age, the future is limitless. But ......"
He paused deliberately, "With all due respect, such a person should be difficult for us to use. Why do you ......, boss?"
"Why spend so much effort on him, do you?" Sakaki interrupted his subordinates and said proudly: "I know that the people of the Eagle Division family are not so easy to succumb to power, and they have always only followed their own principles. But people, you have to look farther, no one can jump to conclusions about what the future holds, what do you say? ”
"My lord." Ah Ju flattered, "However, you won't call me here today just for this, will you?" ”
On weekdays, unless an event is organized, Ah Ju will stay in the gym in Light Red City, train his daughter (Ah Xing), and flatten the children wildly, and his life is quite comfortable.
"Hey!" Sakaki chuckled, "Recently, there have been a few 'little mice' in the gym, please help me clean them up." ”
Hearing this, Ah Ju didn't understand what the boss meant, and immediately took the order: "My subordinates understand!" ”
……
The dispute between the league and the Rockets is not clear, and even if he does, he will not get involved too much, at most, he will quietly raise a hand like he helped the handsome guy before. In his words, it is better to prepare for the field training later, and the internship period of a few months is very fast.
