Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Building a new base?"

Wang Yao thought for a moment and asked.

"What is there to see in this Seven Islands Sea area... Why do we have to build a base here?"

In his opinion, there is a huge gap between the Seven Islands and Kanto, whether in terms of the number of Pokémon populations or local resources and prosperity.

Even most of the local people in the Seven Islands chose to move to the big cities of Kanto and Hoenn to seek development.

This region with talent loss and scarce resources obviously does not meet the development needs of the Rockets.

"Of course, there is nothing worth developing on the Seven Islands, but Yao, you should know that the boss has been paying attention to the research on the 'New Island' recently."

"The purpose of building this new base, in addition to expanding overseas influence, is to serve as a future material transfer station for the new island base."

Dr. Nanbo explained.

"New Island... I see."

Wang Yao nodded.

The new island is sandwiched between the Seven Islands and the Orange Islands. Establishing a base on the Seven Islands is equivalent to laying the foundation for Sakaki's plan to conquer the world with Mewtwo.

However, Mewtwo probably hasn't officially woken up yet.

Because in Wang Yao's impression, the first thing Mewtwo did after waking up was to blow up the research base on New Island and escape...

He was later recaptured by Sakaki, imprisoned in armor that restricted his abilities, and turned into a biological weapon.

"Ah! Where is your final location?"

Wang Yao raised his head, took a bite of the fruit, and asked again.

"We are still investigating... But considering the size of the island and the difficulty of development, the fifth island will most likely be chosen."

"They operated the business under the guise of a logistics company, and then secretly built a base."

Dr. Nanbo said without hesitation.

"The Fifth Island...is a good choice."

Wang Yao recalled the terrain and location of the Fifth Island.

Because it is located in the center of the Seven Islands, there are fewer tourists, and there seems to be a large undeveloped area in the east of the island.

"There are actually quite a lot of specialties in the Seven Islands. I'll have someone make a list for you later. Instead of wasting money on building a shell company, it's better to earn some funds for the organization."

Wang Yao suggested.

The new island will soon be gone... and by then the base on the fifth island might still be able to hold up the main support.

"I haven't considered this...but I can give it a try."

Dr. Nanbo stroked his beard with a nonchalant expression on his face.

The Rocket Team is now at its peak in Kanto, and they just took over the massive project of rebuilding Black Cloud City some time ago...there is no shortage of funds.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so extravagant as to build a base in such a remote place like Qidao.

"Right! It's time to get down to business!"

Dr. Nanbo's face straightened.

He asked Chengfu to contact Wang Yao during his vacation, not just to inform him about the construction of the base.

"There is a troublesome person... Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, is on his way back to his hometown recently."

"Secretary Mantori wants you to contact him as a trainer of the league - to find out the purpose of his sudden return home."

Dr. Nanbo stated the purpose of contacting Wang Yao.

"Four Heavenly Kings Kona?"

Wang Yao knew that Kona's home was on the Seventh Island, and on the Fourth Island, which was not far from the Fifth Island where the base was located.

"Yes... The timing of his return is too subtle. Manatori suspects that his real purpose is to conduct experiments on the new island."

Dr. Nanbo explained.

Now is the critical moment of the Mewtwo Project... Kona, who has lived in the Orange Islands for many years, suddenly has to go north to return home, and will pass by the new island during the journey.

This made Manatori wonder if there was an intelligence leak at the Niijima base.

"What about the time? Where is the other party now?"

Wang Yao threw the remaining fruit cores under the coconut tree and asked with a frown.

"According to the exposure of the fan group on the Internet, the other party is now taking a ferry to the 'Seventh Island', the southernmost of the Seven Islands Sea."

"The estimated arrival time is the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. Although the ferry will not stop at Xindao during this period, the other party may get off the ship midway..."

Chengfu, who was standing by, called up the electronic nautical chart and the other party's itinerary record and projected them on the screen.

In the itinerary records... there are many group photos of the other party and fans, as well as unilateral candid photos taken by the fan group...

Compared to the other four kings, Kona should be the one with the highest "traffic".

Although she did not debut as an idol or a star, she still attracted countless fans in Kanto because of her intellectual and mature image and strong abilities.

There is no need for members of Team Rocket to track the opponent specifically, as the opponent's every move cannot escape the "surveillance" of the fan group.

"This... from the perspective of time, if the other party wants to disembark and land on the new island, I can only rely on flying Pokémon to rush to support."

Wang Yao evaluated the mission this time.

"It doesn't matter... This is just a guess. The base on the new island is not that easy to find..."

Dr. Nanbo comforted Wang Yao.

"You just have to wait in the other person's hometown."

Wang Yao’s main task was to find out the reason why Kona returned home, and if possible, to find out some secrets of the alliance from him.

This was not a difficult task for him.

In fact, as the champion of the previous Quartz Conference, he still has the opportunity to openly challenge the opponent.

It’s just that Wang Yao was too lazy to prepare.

This King of Kings Challenge is different from the usual friendly matches and fan matches - it is a serious 6VS6 all-out showdown.

Not only do you have to take into account the attribute restraint of the Pokémon on both sides, but you also have to prepare special tactics with intrigue.

When you reach the level of a Elite Trainer... there is no such thing as a guaranteed win, and everyone has the chance of failing.

"That's a small matter... I'm also about to set off for the Fourth Island."

Wang Yao was quite receptive to this proposal.

"That's good... In the next few months, I will be in charge of the construction of the base in Qidao. If you need anything, please use this number to contact us."

Dr. Nanbo nodded and hung up the phone.

"I heard that Kona's trump card, Dragonite, was captured on the Fourth Island..."

Wang Yao lowered his head and muttered.

"We'll have to get a few of them... and bring them back to Guandu to lay eggs for fun - and that can also help the Alliance's dragon conservation efforts."

Wang Yao really likes handsome and practical Pokémon like Dragonite.

It just so happened that he had almost finished his time on the third island, so it was time to continue his journey.

Moreover, the third island is actually quite far away from the fourth island. According to the positioning on the nautical chart, the nearest island is actually the fifth island.

Calculating the time, he still had three days to reach the Fourth Island before Kona returned home.

"Dada! Pack your bags, it's time to go!"

Without further ado, Wang Yao asked Daidai to pack his luggage while he blew the whistle to call the megalodon back into the sea.
