Pokémon: The Bold Rat

You know, Ye Ting herself had also inquired about it before, and the information she got was that the base of the Ocean Team was rooted in the port of Jinghai City.

This is also in line with the choice of the Ocean Team. After all, the essence of this organization is to worship the ocean, and its biggest vision is to create a swamp on the ground and have all things melt into water.

So, there is no problem in choosing a port city to station.

But unexpectedly, they came with a real base that was actually on a cruise ship.

"St. Annus? Where is this large cruise ship from? I don't think I've ever heard of it."

As the person taking the test, Ye Ting was surprised at first, then she immediately looked at it carefully.

The name at the beginning made her a little confused. Jinghai City was a port city, so she had already thought that there might be a ship battle, so she had collected important information.

There are only a few large cruise ships in the entire Jinghai area, and none of them are called this name.

"The St. Ann?"

When he heard this name, Zhao Yiyuan was shocked!

Ye Ting doesn’t know, but he knows!

This was once a luxury cruise ship docked in Vermilion City, capable of sailing overseas. Although the elven world at that time was already ruled by humans, long ocean voyages were not that simple.

Megalodon, whale king, swarm of poisonous jellyfish...

It is true that if they are not controlled by God, elves will hardly attack humans without reason, but the material of this cruise ship is definitely not weak, as it can carry a group of wealthy people with ordinary physiques to the Sinnoh region. The entire cruise ship is probably made of special alloys.

Of course this is not very important. The most important thing is that this St. Ann belongs to Team Rocket!

Now Lin Ning said that the Marine Team’s base is here.

What do you mean?

Could it be that the Marine Team intercepted important supplies from the Rocket Team, or have the Marine Team and the Rocket Team secretly joined forces?

Unable to figure it out, he quickly took a look at the cruise ship's structural diagram, then looked at Lin Ning with an inquiring look, and like Ye Ting next to him, waited for an explanation.

They had all seen the structure of this cruise ship. It was very large, with four floors, but in fact it was not much different from some building ships.

"cough~"

Noticing the gazes of the two people, Lin Ning coughed and stopped keeping the question in suspense.

"The Saint Annus is the mobile base of the Marine Corps, and the port is just a stronghold.

According to what we have learned in recent days, the St. Annus is like a mobile sea fortress. On the surface, it is a super luxurious cruise ship that is loved by wealthy people from all over the world.

In fact, the Ocean Team used this cruise ship to travel around, trading in contraband goods while also gathering intelligence.

Whenever they passed through an undeveloped city or town, they would stay and develop a stronghold.

As for those who stayed, some were from the Marine Team and some were from the Rocket Team.

But now we should all be called Team Rocket!"

"What do you mean?"

"They're all called Team Rocket? The Marine Team was absorbed into Team Rocket?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yiyuan and Ye Ting were both surprised.

"That's the theory."

Speaking of this, Lin Ning's handsome and pretty face was filled with solemnity.

"I think this news will be known to you soon, so I'll tell you first, but don't spread it before the official announcement."

As he said this, he pointed upwards.

Of course, the two of them understood what this meant, which was that they could not tell ordinary people or spread the news among ordinary people at the moment.

"understand."

They nodded solemnly and listened attentively.

“The leader of the Aqua Team is just a new trainer, and many of his subordinates have been killed or injured before. Their situation is even worse than that of the Magma Team.

As for the Rockets, I think you have all heard about them over the past year or so.”

To this, both of them nodded.

It refers to Mewtwo, the new Mewtwo with Sakaki's soul inhabiting it, a champion-level legendary beast!

After Sakaki escaped, although he was in the body of an elf, he still firmly controlled the scattered Team Rocket with his powerful strength and former prestige.

A lot of great things have been accomplished this year!

Attack cities, snatch secret realms, and besiege the kings...

Although the Alliance barely won a victory in the fight against Team Rocket by virtue of its geographical advantage, it only made Sakaki restrain his minions in public, while he continued to cause chaos in secret.

There is no way. The gap in hard power is too big. For the champion-level Mewtwo, as long as Sakaki takes action himself, even the current Four Heavenly Kings of the League will not be able to stop it.

Not to mention, the Mewtwo possessed by Sakaki is an unpredictable psychic, making it even more difficult to deal with.

Back to the topic, seeing the two nod, Lin Ning sighed and continued:

"Alas~ Although the alliance used its geographical advantage to repel the open attempts, it now seems that the Rockets have figured out our details.

According to the prediction above, the Marine Corps should have been conquered by Sakaki after that siege battle.

From then on, the Marines became an important information channel for the Rockets.

The Sky Alliance has a firm control over land, but it is unable to control the ocean, which gives the Rockets an opportunity.

However, the higher-ups are already preparing to severely damage this route, otherwise we wouldn't know this. This time, targeting the St. Ann is just a test, so remember not to tell anyone."

"Yes, I understand."

Looking at Lin Ning who emphasized it again, the two agreed with a sad look on their faces.

Who would have thought that a simple international rescue mission would cause so much trouble!

Zhao Yiyuan felt even more regretful in his heart. He would have been better off practicing hard in the training room. Why did he agree to come here?

The offspring of a divine beast, the child of Prince Canghai, although extraordinary, is actually just that.

Even if it could receive the blessing of the water-based beast, it would only be icing on the cake for Psyduck. After all, its foundation is superpowers, not water-attributed powers.

Who would have come if they had known they would be involved in such a giant chess game?

Since the Saint Anno is used for long-distance communication, there is definitely more than one elite trainer on board. It would not be uncommon for there to be a gym or even a king-level trainer on board.

He and senior sister Ye Ting are just two high-level trainers, why would they wade into this muddy water?

No, this is Senior Sister Ye Ting’s assessment task. She must go. He is the only one who will be harmed innocently (?_?)

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyuan became more depressed.

Little did he know that he had already been decided to go with them, and it was his mentor, Commander Yu Huasheng, who made the decision personally.

There is no other reason, just because of the word "divine beast"!

Manaphy is a water-based mythical beast, known as the Prince of the Sea. I think he must have some connection with the Sea God Lugia.

In this case, how could Zhao Yiyuan, who inherited the legacy of Lugia's god Articuno, not go?

Even if you return empty-handed, at least you have gained experience. Young man, how can you grow up quickly without going through multiple life-and-death crises? Time is running out...

On the other side, Ye Ting, who had also guessed what incident she was involved in, turned pale and asked quickly:

“What level of enemy are we dealing with this time?

Yiyuan and I are only high-level trainers, and I’m afraid this situation is…”

She didn't say the rest, but Lin Ning already understood what she meant.

So, I waved my hand and comforted him:

"Don't worry, this is just a test, and there is more than one St. Ann's. It's just that in order to conceal their whereabouts, Team Rocket named all these cruise ships St. Ann's.

We are only targeting this one this time, it won’t cause much reaction.”

After these words were spoken, Zhao Yiyuan and Ye Ting's faces looked much better.

"And your mission is to rescue Fiona. Our special forces will help you lead away the elite and most of the high-level trainers as we said before.

The enemies you have to deal with are at most high-level.

I can tell you something, this mission will be led by a professional expert, so you can rest assured."

These words did appease Ye Ting, but Zhao Yiyuan always felt that he was setting a flag. However, since things had come to this point and everyone was here, they certainly could not withdraw at the last minute, so they could only nod their heads and agree on the surface.

Then Lin Ning took out two cruise tickets.

"Here, take this, and you can pass the inspection and enter the cruise ship smoothly.

When the cruise ship is far away from the port, our people will start to cause chaos, and you can take the opportunity to go to the captain's room to rescue Fiona."

"it is good."

Neither of them had any objection to this plan, and then the three of them exchanged information and then dispersed.

On the way back to the hotel, Ye Ting was weighed down with worries. She wanted to speak several times, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Finally, after another conversation, Zhao Yiyuan took the initiative to say:

"Senior, do you have something to tell me?

Just say it directly. You have been hesitating for so long. "

"what!"

Unexpectedly, her embarrassing situation was seen by the people around her. The girl's pretty face turned red, but after hearing this, she made up her mind.

"Learn, junior."

"I want to say that after we get on board, we should focus on protecting ourselves. If the situation is not as Sister Ning said, then we should just go out for a normal trip and see the scenery at sea. Don't act rashly."

"This……"

Zhao Yiyuan was very surprised that Ye Ting would say such a thing.

"Then your wasted mission has failed completely, and with this kind of performance, I'm afraid no other college will want you.

After all, this counts as…”

Before he could finish the rest of his words, Ye Ting automatically took over.

"Decamp."

After saying these four words, the girl's delicate face showed an inexplicable expression, a little sad, and a little sarcastic.

"Junior Yiyuan, although Sister Ning said it very well, in the final analysis, we were all kept in the dark and passively entered this chessboard.

Perhaps at some point, our two high-level pawns would be sacrificed in exchange for the opponent's big fish.

For this pair of chess players, this is a sure win deal for the overall situation.

But who would think about whether the pawns are willing to sacrifice themselves? "

Looking at the girl leaning on the railing, Zhao Yiyuan was sure that his senior schoolmate also had a story, so he patted her shoulder comfortingly.

"Okay, I don't want to lose my life in vain, so I'll listen to you, Senior."

"Well, after all, it was me who asked you to come in. As a senior, I really don't want anything to happen to my handsome junior~"

In the gentle sea breeze, the beautiful girl with a high ponytail raised her head and said so.

……

"Clap clap clap!"

"Wait, stop~ stop~"

"Clap!"

In the small fishing boat that we saw in the morning, Zhao Yiyuan was fighting with Lin Ning who was wearing fisherman's clothes.

But it is obvious that Zhao Yiyuan, who is blessed with double supernatural powers, is not someone that Lin Ning, a junior fighter, can resist at all.

He grasped the direction of the car lights and only made a slight move, forcing Lin Ning to follow passively.

In this way, after relieving his lovesickness, Zhao Yiyuan started to talk about business.

"Sister Ning, take this escape rope, life essence liquid, and defensive jade talisman. Be careful."

As he spoke, he handed over a few things from his backpack.

For him, who had been given so much convenience, only the escape rope was difficult to ask for. As for the other two things, as long as he reported it to the Elf Center and the amount he asked for was not too excessive, he would be given it.

So, I don’t feel bad about giving one to Lin Ning.

Of course, the escape rope was hard to get, so Zhao Yiyuan got it from Commander Yu.

He didn't use the one assigned by the military during that trip to the Tokiwa Secret Realm, so even if he gave away the one given by Commander Yu, he naturally still had one in his hand.

"Xiao Yuan, you are so... "

Seeing so many life-saving things, Lin Ning's beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude.

Not to mention anything else, just the lowest value defensive jade talisman is actually a high-quality item that can withstand high-level elites.

As an ordinary special forces member, she can't get it at all.

As for the life essence liquid which is said to be the second life and the escape rope, a magical tool for running away, she couldn't even afford it even if she sold herself!

But now, it is within reach.

All of this comes from my own man.

Lin Ning's eyes were so gentle when she looked at Zhao Yiyuan that they seemed to melt into water.

She put the first two things away, and when she got the escape rope, she pushed it back reluctantly.

"Yiyuan, you should keep this thing. I am not strong enough and the mission I am carrying out is not dangerous, so I will definitely not need it. But you are deep in the enemy camp. With this, I can ensure that you can escape from the thieves' den immediately."

"Really? Sister Ning, I actually have another one in my hand."

Playing with the snow in his hand skillfully, Zhao Yiyuan asked another question with a smile.

"No, it's really not necessary, you can give it to sister Ye Ting when the time comes.

I can see that she definitely has feelings for you, Xiao Yuan, and it's a good opportunity to win her heart."

As he spoke, Lin Ning, who was lying in his arms, had a somewhat resentful look in his eyes.

Although she had explained the situation long ago, when it came to this, a woman's jealous nature still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Haha~ She has feelings for me, but I don't have any feelings for her now.

Senior Sister Ye is too thoughtful and wants too much. It’s not good to get in touch with her too early.”

Seeing the mentality of the lovely girl in his arms, Zhao Yiyuan explained with a smile and then took back the escape rope.

"But, she is a friend after all. I'll give her the escape rope if the situation calls for it. If the situation becomes critical, I'll give it to her. I hope she won't get hurt."

Lin Ning, who was originally somewhat happy, turned into anger after hearing the following words.

"Humph~ You just fancy her beauty, and you still say we are still friends."

Although he said this, he never mentioned the escape rope.

She is not the inexperienced little girl like Lin Huiyin. Since she has decided to give herself to Zhao Yiyuan, she naturally has a clear idea of ​​her own position in her mind.

Not to mention, the elders in the clan have reminded us more than once in the past two years to be friends with Zhao Yiyuan.
