Tokiwa City.

The secret base of Team Rocket under Joban Dokan.

"Go and investigate this person, the more detailed the better." Sakaki, who was sitting on the chair, said in a calm tone while petting the cat.

"Yes!" A voice came from the shadows in the corner.

"I need to know all of his accurate information to allow you to use some of the special connections in the Alliance, even if it exposes a few people."

The shadow in the corner seemed to be a little stunned.

I didn't expect Sakaki to be willing to spend such a big price.

But he didn't ask, just a little more solemn.

"Yes!"

It wasn't until the person in the shadow in the corner seemed to be gone that Sakaki's face slowly smiled.

"Is this the person Nazi said looked like me....... Yes, there is. ”

...

...

A restaurant in the black market.

A restaurant in the black market is no easy place.

Because some of the dishes, the ingredients used, are elves!

For example, the ridiculously expensive "charcoal-grilled green onion duck" that has been out of stock is one of the store's signatures.

There are also things like "Steamed Dumb Beast's Tail", "Fried Carp King" and so on.

Xia Yan didn't order these, just asked for a few vegetarian dishes and waited silently.

The three dragons had been put away by him.

But just based on the period of time just revealed, even if he didn't order a single dish, no one dared to say anything.

didn't make Xia Yan wait long.

A fluctuation of superpowers.

A little girl with a playful expression appeared in front of Xia Yan.

Nazi!

However, the people around him couldn't see Nazi's appearance clearly, and could only barely see an outline.

Nazi sat on the chair, swinging her calves flexibly, tilting her head and blinking her eyes, as if she wanted to get to know Natsuhiko again.

"How?" Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

"No, it's just that I saw someone who looks a bit like you in the superpower band before."

Xia Yan couldn't help but smile.

Immediately, he took out two small boxes of idiosyncrasies from his pocket.

"You're here to get something, aren't you? It's all here. ”

Seeing that Xia Yan didn't react, Nazi suddenly felt bored and pursed her lips.

However, he still wrapped the two boxes with superpowers, and his movements were still relatively careful.

"Did you see Boss Sakaki?"

Nazi didn't shy away from it at all, and directly said Sakaki's name.

Although this is not a particularly big secret among the current alliance leaders.

However, Sakaki is still the owner of the gym in Tokiwa City, and even Team Rocket has made Tokiwa City their home base.

It can be seen that there is still a tacit understanding between the alliance and the Rockets, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Recently, the frequency of the Rockets' activities has obviously decreased, and I believe that the league also wants to see this kind of calm.

Even if it's just a brief lull.

And it may be that beneath the calm surface of the lake, there is some kind of unforeseen outcome.

Xia Yan shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

"How? Isn't Boss Sakaki very powerful? Nazi's eyes were full of adoration, like a little girl chasing stars.

"yes."

"What do you mean by 'yes'?" Nazi puffed out her mouth, obviously not very satisfied with Natsuhiko's answer.

The fork in Xia Yan's hand paused.

"He invited me to join Team Rocket and promised me the position of the top cadre."

Nazi's eyes lit up instantly, with a hint of hope in her eyes.

"Do you agree?"

"I said think about it."

Hearing this, Nazi's eyes widened slightly, and she stood on the chair, as if she wanted to stand up and hit Xia Yan's head, her face flushed with anger.

But in the end, it didn't fall.

"Humph!"

With just a muffled grunt, Nazi's figure disappeared from her seat.

Looking at the empty chairs, Xia Yan couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Shook his head.

After Natsu left, Natsuhiko didn't eat anymore, and quickly left the Black Market, left Golden City, and rushed to Dead Leaf City.

If it weren't for what Kikuko explained, he wouldn't have traveled back and forth between the two cities in one night.

...

...

When I returned to the Sakuragi Lab room in Dead Leaf City, the sky was already lit up with fish belly white.

Push open the door.

The letterhead on the ground is still there.

With a casual glance, the fragile paper turned into tiny powders under the wrap of his superpowers.

The content of the letter is simple.

didn't say that it was Team Rocket, but just said that there was a good project, and asked Xia Yan if he was interested.

And if there is a nod to it, it's something that the alliance doesn't allow.

For this letter, Xia Yan naturally didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just that.

He had just stretched and was about to go back to catch up on his sleep, when the door to the next room suddenly opened.

"Xia Yan, so early?"

Saw.

Sirona, who was wearing pajamas, gently rubbed the corners of her eyes, and her long golden hair fell behind her head under the restraint of a cute leather band, and she couldn't take out the slightest mess.

I think it's because Xia Yan's movements when he came back were not disguised, and it was indeed time for some people who like to get up early.

"Pss

When Sirona was wondering why Natsuhiko didn't answer herself, she suddenly heard Natsuhiko laughing that she couldn't hold back.

Follow his line of sight and look down.

When I saw a playful and cute leather printed in the middle of her black pajamas, my face couldn't help but flush.

didn't care about Xia Yan's reaction, and hurriedly ran back to the room.

Because she was also in the research institute, she was temporarily living in Dr. Yamanashi's research institute before, but this time she was staying in Dr. Sakuragi's research institute, and she forgot her usual habits for a while, and subconsciously opened the door.

Outcome......

Xia Yan looked at Shirona who ran into the room with a puff of smoke, and couldn't help but smash her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Sirona, who looks cold, also hides a girl's heart.

"What are you laughing at?"

Then.

Wataru, who was already fully dressed, appeared behind Natsuhiko.

"So early?" Natsuhiko was a little surprised by Wataru's appearance.

"This is the time when I usually do tasks. Besides, didn't you get up too? ”

Xia Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth.

Wataru got up early, and he just didn't sleep well all night.

Fortunately, he is a superpower, and even if he doesn't sleep all night, it doesn't affect his energy much.

"Good morning, Senior Xia Yan."

It seems to have been agreed.

Kona was already up too.

She even walked from the outside with a book in her hand.

I guess I've been outside for a while.

This is the real top student.

It is no wonder that they are the face of the Silver Academy today, and the representative of the academic figures in the future.

Already talented and hard-working.

It's not for nothing that the door panel on the road to becoming a champion is not without reason.

"Morning, Kona." Xia Yan also smiled and said hello.

When Kona came over, Wataru also wanted to say hello, but Kona directly shook him on the back of the head.

Wataru raised his hand, which was called an embarrassment.

Squeak –

Sirona's door slowly opened.

Shirona, whose blush had not yet completely faded, also stepped out.

Everyone greeted her, and she responded one by one.

It's just that when she saw the intentional or unintentional smile on Xia Yan's face, Sirona shook the back of Xia Yan's head.

The ferry elbow arched Xia Yan and said in a low voice, "What's wrong with them?" ”

Xia Yan rolled his eyes angrily.

"How do I know?"

Wataru couldn't help but smash his mouth.

Women are amazing creatures.

"It's so early for everyone."

The last person to appear at the door was Daigo, who was twisting his cuffs.

Looking at his energetic appearance, it is estimated that he slept well last night.

Truly.

Sakuragi's newly built research institute has good housing conditions.

Seeing that they all got up early, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh.

If you are not afraid of geniuses, you are afraid of geniuses who work hard.

These are all people who belong to the group of people with extraordinary talents, and they all work so hard one by one, and it is not for nothing that they will achieve success.

Wataru's rich combat experience, Kona's solid knowledge reserves, and Daigo's ability to make money.

Although Sirona's experience, knowledge, and money ability are not the strongest among several people, she is the most average, and she is not weak in each of them.

The reason why it is not outstanding is only because the objects of comparison are too remarkable.

Now that they are all up, Xia Yan has given up the idea of catching up on sleep.

Several people went to breakfast together.

Then go to the lawn in the backyard of the institute and prepare breakfast for their respective elves.

At this time, Du proposed that everyone have a battle, which can be regarded as morning exercise.

For Wataru, morning exercise is a great way to stimulate the spirit's enthusiasm for the new day.

He rarely returned to live in Yanmo City.

So most of the time he lived in the headquarters of the Guandu Alliance.

And the person who made him develop this habit was only one person.

That's Hiba.

And only a guy like Hiba, who is also a training maniac, can get along with a mission madman like Wadu.

Even sometimes.

Hiba's enthusiasm will give way, and it will be somewhat difficult to parry.

Wataru's proposal was approved by several people.

After all, for them, battles are a commonplace.

Only Natsuhiko.

Looking at the gaze that fell on him, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth.

Especially the meaningful smiles on their faces.

He had every reason to wonder if this group of people had discussed it in private.

There is always a feeling that Diao people want to harm me.

Xia Yan exhaled silently, and his answer exceeded the expectations of several people.

"Okay."

"Huh?" Kona lifted her glasses and looked at the other three, "Senior Xia Yan....... Agreed? ”

Xia Yan smiled and didn't explain.

He wasn't the ordinary trainer who could only look up at a few people at the beginning.

After the journey of Liekong Sitting in the space, Xia Yan also wanted to see how much the strength gap between himself and them was now.

In terms of the main elves alone, there must be a gap in overall strength.

After all, both his Fire Monkey and Ladios are only elite-level.

But when it comes to the top-notch elves of the main force, Xia Yan feels that he still has a chance.

His reaction was beyond the expectations of several people.

But since he agreed, it couldn't have been better.

"Then it's simpler, one-to-one loop?" Wataru said.

This means that everyone has to fight at least one battle with the other four.

Since Xia Yan didn't refuse, the next thing would be easy.

By drawing lots, each of the five people obtained their own numbers.

Natsuhiko caught No. 5, and the rest of No. 1 to No. 4 were Wataru, Kona, Sirona, and Daigo.

Other words.

Wataru first took turns to fight against Kona, Sirona, Daigo, and Natsuhiko.

Then there was Kona and the trio behind her.

And so on.

Xia Yan, who caught No. 5, only needs to be responsible for dealing with the challenge.

The Sakuragi Research Institute is newly built, and the open space in the backyard is very large, and the elves of the research institute have not moved over for the time being, giving them enough space to fight.

So.

Natsuhiko, Daigo, and Sirona, who were sitting under the tree next to them, looked at Wataru and Kona, who were standing on both sides not far away.

When he learned that it was the two of them who fought first, Wataru looked entangled, and he didn't have the excitement he had before, but Kona was very interested, and he couldn't wait.

As Xia Yan, who knew the relationship between the two, the three of them couldn't hold back the smile on their faces.

In Natsuhiko's words.

This wave is called lifting a stone to shoot oneself in the foot.

Because it's just a private discussion, naturally there is no need for a referee.

After standing still, the two looked at each other and nodded, and then summoned their respective spirits.

"Roaring ——!!"

With a roar, an elf covered in brown and gray with an ancient aura of giant puff wings appeared in mid-air.

Every flapping of the wings is accompanied by the undulation of the lawn on the ground.

Fossil pterosaurs!

"Oh? Wataru summoned a fossil pterosaur, and I thought he would summon a tyrannosaurus. Daigo said with a smile.

Xia Yan glanced at him, pursed his lips and said, "The tyrannosaurus of the water system and the flying system, facing the elves of Kona, that is, erasing the weakness of the ice system, and not having the advantage of the water system. But if you and Sirona run into it, the Tyrannosaurus Elementa's attributes may prevail. ”

"Ah, this ......," Daigo's expression froze.

Immediately, a bigger smile appeared.

It doesn't seem to be a concern about that.

Natsuhiko continued to cast his gaze on the field.

A fossil pterosaur of the quasi-Heavenly King class.

Wataru's progress is so fast.......

On Kona's side, the movement is not as big as that of fossil pterosaurs.

Mixed with red light, in front of her was a stinging shell.

Although the movement is not large, compared to the fossil pterosaur, the momentum of this stinging shell is not weak at all.

Sirona frowned slightly.

"Isn't this the stinging shell from before Kona, newly cultivated, so fast?"

Xia Yan raised an eyebrow.

It's also a quasi-heavenly king?

It hasn't been long since he told Kona the information about "Slaying Dragon Shell".

Less than half a year.

Can you cultivate the stinger to the quasi-heavenly king level?

Although Kona is highly talented, and has the full support of the Silver Academy.

But Xia Yan didn't think that Kona could cultivate a big-tongued shellfish from scratch to a quasi-heavenly king level in such a short period of time.

The only explanation is that when Kona began to cultivate this thorn shell, its strength was not weak.

In fact, it is.

After learning about the "Dragon Slayer Shell" from Xia Yan, Kona is looking for a big-tongued shell with good talent and corresponding characteristics.

And the Silver Academy, which knew Kona's intentions, directly opened the entire cultivation base of the Silver Academy to her.

Among them, there are many large-tongued mussels with uneven strength.

Luckily.

Kona eventually found this one among a crowd of big-tongued shellfish.

When it is subdued, it has the strength of the hall master.

The evolution of the big-tongued scallop requires the "Water Stone", so even if it reaches the strength of the hall master, it is still only the big-tongued shellfish.

But just with the food fed by the Silver Academy, coupled with his own efforts, he can reach the level of hall master, which shows that the talent of this big-tongued scallop is very strong.

In addition, these big-tongued mussels are farmed, so there is no situation where it is difficult to run in with trainers when the strength reaches a certain level like wild elves.

At the very least, the run-in process is much simpler than that of wild elves.

So Kona followed the hints given by Natsuhiko, and only after letting the big tongue shell learn the move of "breaking the shell", did he use the "Water Stone" to make it evolve.

In the end, he obtained this quasi-heavenly king-level thorn shell.

Of course, it is undeniable that this stingy shell has not been with Kona for a long time, and the tacit understanding between them is definitely not as good as that of Watari and fossil pterosaurs.

Moreover, this stinger shell is also slightly inferior in strength.

But in any case, a quasi-heavenly king-level stinging shell, or "dragon slaying shell", is the main reason why Kona agrees with Watar's proposal today.

And this is what Xia Yan has always wanted to have, but he can't get at all....... Heritage.

Whether it's Kona, or Wataru, Daigo, and Sirona, although their current strength may have been almost caught up by Xia Yan.

But the background they have means that they are much better than Xia Yan in cultivating new elves.

Silver Academy, a well-known academy in the Guandu region and even in the entire elven world, has a very good background, let alone Xia Yan, I'm afraid his teacher Juzi may not be able to compare.

But then......

Xia Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

This first battle became very interesting.

He didn't expect that Du's "nightmare" would come so quickly.
