Pokémon: Rise of the Orange League

"You mean they attacked you the night before and took you into their secret base, and then you subdued more than 40 Rockets by yourself?"

In the police station near the Silver Conference venue, the captain of the search officer looked directly into Lu Wu's eyes and asked in disbelief. His voice was full of doubt and surprise.

Lu Wu nodded calmly, without any expression on his face.

"No, buddy. Are you serious?" The search officer who was sitting next to him and taking notes also stopped writing and looked at Lu Wu in disbelief. His eyes revealed doubts and questions about the story.

Lu Wu took a deep breath and nodded again: "Yes, I am serious. They did try to kidnap me, but I eventually subdued them."

The captain of the search officer frowned and thought about Lu Wu's words. His eyes swept back and forth on Lu Wu, as if looking for any flaws or contradictions. However, Lu Wu's expression remained the same, without any wavering.

"My information is registered at the nearby Pokémon Center. I'm telling the truth." Luwu helplessly spread his hands. "Didn't you arrest the Rocket Team members who were knocked unconscious by me?"

"Okay, in that case, we will further investigate and verify your statement. We may trouble you to assist us in the investigation later, but you are free now." The captain of the search officers stood up and signaled Luwu to leave.

After Luwu left, the two search officers looked at each other.

"Luwu is indeed a contestant in this Silver Conference. He came to the Johto area about 4 months ago to challenge the eight major gyms. These are all records that can be found in the Pokémon Center." The search officer in charge of recording said.

"According to the police report from Kaji Town Junsha, what he said about the grudge with the Rocket Team is indeed true."

Listening to the team members' report, the captain nodded, "This Luwu player is indeed very powerful. He was able to break through the Rocket Team that was guarding him at the cost of 4 Pokémon being slightly injured, and then subdued the other Rocket Team members in the secret base without any injury."

The team members listened to the captain's praise for Luwu, and said with a somewhat regretful tone, "It's a pity that he missed the semi-finals during the time he was trapped in the Rocket Team's secret base. Otherwise, with his strength, I think he has a chance to challenge the championship of this conference!"

The captain thought for a while and said, "Wait a minute, ask him if he is interested in joining the Investigator Organization. There should be special recruitment indicators in the team this year."

After Luwu left the police station, he rushed to the Pokémon Center in the venue as soon as possible.

"Luwu, your Pokémon has fully recovered after treatment. During the tournament, all contestants can receive free treatment." Miss Joy returned the six Poké Balls that had been treated to Luwu.

"Thank you very much. Please bring another bottle of soda!"

Ding! Six Poké Balls opened at the same time, including Frog, Bear, Swampert, Octopus, Armored Bird, and Electric Monster.

Looking at the Electric Monster jumping on the ground. Luwu speechlessly put it back into the ball.

"Bring seven bottles of soda."

When Luwu took the soda and found a table at the Pokémon Center to sit down and prepare for dinner, a new message was broadcast on the screen in the hall.

"There is the latest information about Luwu, who was absent from the semi-finals that ended yesterday morning!"

"It's not that he was afraid before the game, nor is it a fake match. According to Ms. Junsha, who did not want to reveal her name, Luwu was trapped in the secret base of the Rocket Team and was successfully escaped this morning..." The host on the screen reported while showing Luwu's headshot in the competition.

"Puff!" Luwu, who was enjoying his first meal after escaping with his Pokémon, turned into a soda fountain. The refreshing soda that he just drank into his mouth was sprayed cleanly.

"The game is over?!?" Luwu was full of question marks.

It's broken. What I was looking at in the police station before was my broken Slowpoke watch.

In other words, the journey of this Silver Conference has ended here.

"During the operation against Team Rocket's secret base, Luwu actively cooperated and assisted the League Investigators in arresting more than 40 Team Rocket members. The League's President Damaranchi highly praised this and..."

Luwu no longer had much interest in the information on the screen, and looked at the Pokémon around him.

Most Pokémon have the same intelligence as adults, and they basically reacted to what the information in the broadcast represented.

"Eh!"

"Roar~"

Swimper and Bearcat made unwilling cries, and the others were also in low spirits.

Since the Chengdu League and the Kanto LeagueSince the split, the Alliance Headquarters has improved the conditions for cross-regional participation in competitions. Unless they are local contestants, contestants from other regions can only register one Pokémon brought from other regions when participating in the annual Alliance Conference. The other members of the team must be newly trained Pokémon in the region where the competition is held.

This is also because the Quartz Conference, Silver Conference and other competitions are, to a certain extent, aimed at novice trainers, and are generally participated by trainers who have been traveling for one to three years (secondary setting). If you have already participated in the conference in other regions, then participating in the Silver Conference again will seem to bully newcomers.

As a registered trainer of the Orange Alliance, Lu Wu is 16 years old this year, but because the Orange Alliance has developed quite slowly, it has not formed a competition format for the conference. Of course, he has not challenged in the Orange Alliance, but has trained a Frog in Penggan Island over the years (Mosquito Repellent Swimmer is still awkward, I still prefer the previous translation)

This time, in accordance with the regulations of the Alliance, Lu Wu used Frog as the initial registered Pokémon for the Silver Conference. The other five were all captured during the challenge.

"Excuse me, are you Luwu? I'm Yamato, the League Investigator. We've met before at the police station."

Just as Luwu and his Pokémon were sighing, a uniformed investigator came over.

Luwu remembered him. He had not participated in the record-taking before. He seemed to be the investigator in charge of liaison.

"Hello, I'm Luwu. What's wrong? Do you want me to go over and ask?" Luwu put down the refreshing soda in his hand.

"No, I came to you for two things. The first is that the League Tournament will give you a reward as a top four player in the Silver Conference later. After communication with our captain, we will give you some additional compensation. The second is to invite you to join our team of investigators."

Yamato smiled and handed over a document.

"This is the special recruitment document that our captain applied to the upper level for you. If you are interested in joining our organization, you can take a look. I will be at the police station these two days. You can come and give me an answer at any time."

The first thing was within Luwu's expectations, and the second thing was a little beyond imagination.

The Alliance Investigator is actually a very direct internal organization of the Alliance, and it is very difficult to enter.

However, Lu Wu responded on the spot.

"Thank you very much for your invitation, but I will return to my hometown Penggan Island later. So..."

Yamato stopped Lu Wu from continuing, "Of course, this is your freedom. I hope we can have a chance to cooperate in the future."

He is actually one of those internal direct personnel. He has always regarded the position of Investigator as a position that only the best and most outstanding people in the Alliance can join. Since others are unwilling to come, he will interrupt immediately, so as not to make it seem like the Investigator is short of people.

As soon as Yamato left, someone else came over immediately. It was Miss Junsha who was in charge of the security of the venue.

"Lu Wu, this is the certificate of bravery issued to you." Miss Junsha handed a certificate to Lu Wu and took a photo with him.

Bravery? Me?

Lu Wu took a photo with Miss Junsha holding the certificate with a professional fake smile.

Why do I vaguely remember that I seemed to be ambushed by the Rocket Team!
