Giovanni's originally praiseful smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Man, what did they just say?"
He was afraid that maybe his brain hadn't yet figured out Smelling Salts and he might have heard it wrong.
He immediately turned his head and looked at the secretary beside him.
"Boss, they said..."
At this moment, even Zhenniao couldn't help but show a strange look on his face:
"Use this [Burn] to go to the Pokémon Alliance Conference and go to the Snatch Holy Fire."
The Olympic flame is an important symbol of the Pokémon Alliance Conference.
It is said that the sacred fire of the Indigo Plateau Conference comes from the legendary Pokémon Moltres.
It will serve as a symbol of the Conference's fighting spirit and will last until the end of this competition.
The Meowth, Jessie, and James trio actually plan to go to the Snatch Pokémon Alliance Conference.
Even Giovanni couldn't help but twitch his eyes, and couldn't help but want to say "you have guts" to them.
"Ignorance is fearless~"
He could only give this comment.
According to Giovanni, most of them don't know what the sacred fire represents.
73...
"On the day of the Pokémon Alliance Conference, the eyes of the world are focused here."
"Under the gaze of countless spectators and Alliance officials, you go to snatch their sacred flame..."
Giovanni didn't know how to describe these three idiots. They didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.
If it were someone else, they would dare to do such a thing.
Then they might be wiped out completely by the official Trainers guarding the Alliance Conference in the next second.
"I kind of understand why Boss Giovanni thinks highly of them, but they have never been able to achieve anything..."
Secretary Manatori was also silently watching the trio inside the "Burning Number" who were immersed in beautiful fantasies.
They do have the ability, but there seems to be some problems with their brains.
This thing is a "three-five-seven" disease and needs to be treated.
"Okay, I understand how you feel."
Giovanni simply waved his hand, interrupting the trio's beautiful fantasy:
"This [Burning] is very well made. I will ask Zhenniao to take you to the research department later to have a good exchange with those scientists.
Giovanni tried to sound more kind:
"You just need to do scientific research and inventions. As for the specific uses of machines like the Burning, I will naturally make arrangements.
Well, for a fool, you still can't be too indulgent.
"This..."
After receiving the praise, the trio was obviously a little proud again, unwilling to just do scientific research behind the scenes:
"Just go ahead and give us the task, and we will definitely bring the Holy Flame back to you!!"
What the hell is this mission?!
Snatch Holy Fire, is this something a normal human being can do?!!
"Okay, there's no need to say any more about this matter!"
Giovanni suddenly felt a headache again: "I told you, I will naturally arrange the specific uses for the rest!"
"This..."
"Of course, since you have made such a contribution, you will definitely receive the merits and rewards you deserve."
Giovanni waved his hand and said, "Promotion and salary increase, isn't that what you want?!"
As long as the wishes of fools are met, then they can naturally be coaxed into submission.
"Really?!!""
As expected, after Giovanni said this, the three of them all shouted in joy:
"Thank you, Boss!!"
What needs to be done well and what needs to be done to carry out the mission.
At this moment, nothing can have a greater impact on the trio than a promotion and salary increase!
"If you get the boss's approval, you can get a promotion and a raise!"
"And it's not just praise, we will continue to be valued in the future!!"
"This shows that our choice was correct. There is no problem at all with changing the track~ Meow!!"
"What a happy feeling~!!!"
At this moment, the three members of Team Rocket felt an unprecedented sense of happiness.
They finally know how to serve the boss and realize their own value!!
"Just keep going forward with all your strength!!"
"Come on, do a good job!!"
"I have other ideas. Maybe we can steal more goodies from the Pokémon Alliance next time!!!"
Then continue, get promoted, get a pay raise, and reach the pinnacle of life!!
The trio continued to look forward to it there.
Giovanni, who was sitting in the boss's chair, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
It seems like something bad is about to happen.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
He looked at the "Burning Number" and whispered to himself.
The Rockets trio are on what they now consider to be a normal and successful life path.
On the other side, Ash reunited with Misty and Xiaogang and continued to move towards the Indigo Plateau.
Misty and Xiaogang also saw the strange Pokéball on Ash's chest.
But they didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just another Pokémon that Ash had captured.
The three continued on their way to Indigo Plateau, but did not encounter any other incidents along the way.
Instead, I met many trainers who were also doing special training and had the same destination.
Among them, they did encounter a Trainer with a samurai sword and Marowak following him.
He is very energetic, but his brain is not very good.
Along the way, he lived like an ascetic and often went hungry.
When Ash and his group met him, Marowak happened to bump into him because he couldn't stand such a life.
He was complaining there, and then in a fit of anger, he simply abandoned the Trainer named Saizo who was holding a samurai sword.
Well, it was quite a scene of Pokémon abandoning its Trainer.
"He looks quite pitiful..."
As she passed by, Misty couldn't help but offer a word of sympathy.
"It should be said that there must be something hateful about pitiful people..."
Ash didn't feel anything: "I've already got eight badges, which means I have enough training ability."
"But he was abandoned by his own Pokémon. It must be because of the lack of communication and daily interactions..."
"There is also the problem of the Trainer himself~~~"
Well, there is a reason why this Marowak dislikes its Trainer.
In the original story, this Trainer named Saizo saw a field of delicious fruits placed right in the middle of the road.
He and Marowak, each holding a Pokémon and having been hungry for a long time, immediately rushed forward.
As expected, they fell into a trap and all their Badges were taken away by Team Rocket.
Later, instead of asking the Rockets to get his Badge back, he sold it himself and started fighting for help.
Challenge the passing Trainer and require the loser to hand over all Badges.
.Hmm... Just by listening, you can tell that this Trainer is useless.
And although he got eight badges, they were basically badges at the level of Nibi Gym and Cerulean Gym.
And the only thing he could count on was his Marowak.
His other Pokémon, such as Doduo, can't even beat Jessie Arbok.
It can even be said that he was easily knocked down by Jessie and was beaten without any chance to fight back.
This kind of training... basically means relying on Marowak to get into the Alliance Conference.
Once people figure out his bottom line, they will deliberately target Marowak.
Almost, the level of Alliance Conference first round~~~
Ash didn't pay much attention to this guy who was originally a highway robber.
Let the other party try to dissuade Marowak, and then~
I was hit on the head several times by Marowak's bone club...
Tsk, the story between Trainer and Pokémon is really exciting.
There were no other twists and turns along the rest of the journey.
The group arrived at their destination smoothly.
Indigo Plateau, as the highest Pokémon body, is the home of the Kanto Region and Johto Region Pokémon Alliance.
Its architectural style is magnificent and represents the highest authority in the Pokémon world.
At this time, the Indigo Plateau was already extremely lively.
This is not only a highland in the geographical sense, but also a competitive mecca in the Pokémon world.
Every Trainer who dreams of becoming a champion has gone through untold hardships and collected eight gym badges.
Everyone will step onto this land with great anticipation.
There are also a group of vendors who plan to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
It also fills up every corner of the Indigo Plateau.
Each store hangs brightly colored flags at the door, fluttering in the wind, as if enthusiastically attracting customers.
The shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods, from various Pokémon balls to healing potions that can restore Pokémon's strength.
Ash and the others even saw some items that contained the power of evolution, such as Evolution Stones and Razor Claw, being sold.
"It's worthy of being the annual Pokémon Alliance Conference~"
Xiao Gang was walking in the crowd, watching this passionate scene, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Almost all the trainers and vendors from the entire Kanto Region have come to this place."
"There are many strange props, all of which are for sale...
Misty also saw a nearby stall selling Psyduck's eyelashes and Starmie's red crystal fragments...
There really is all sorts of stuff.
"As for the opening ceremony, it will take some time. We should be in the process of passing the torch now..."
Ash and his friends had seen the torch runner holding a torch at the bottom of this plateau before.
It is a ceremony to make a wish to the gods, so that the players and Pokémon participating in the Pokémon Alliance Conference can fight safely to the end.
When the flame is lit, it means that the conference officially begins.
Before that, all Pokémon Trainers who come will go to the nearby athletes' village to rest.
All the powerful Pokémon Trainers who own eight gym badges will gather here.
Likewise, in this place, Ash also met some acquaintances.
"You're taking so long, Ash!"
The location of an open-air cafe at the entrance of the athletes' village.
Gary sat there, watching Ash and the others enter.
"You're taking too long. I've already been gathering intelligence on the competition!"
He crossed his legs and looked very confident.
"Well, keep working hard~"
Ash nodded at him nonchalantly, "Don't get sent away in the first four rounds, that would be ugly."
"Oh, don't worry, no matter what I do, I will be much stronger than you!!"
Gary sneered and immediately put down his coffee cup.
He looked at Ash and his Pikachu for a few extra seconds.
"I hope that by then, you won't be defeated by others before you meet me."
He turned his back to Ash and the others, waved, and walked away with his girlfriends.
"I always feel like he's sitting here just to wait for you, Ash..."
Misty looked at Gary's departing back, seeming thoughtful.
"After all, I chose this coffee shop at the entrance..."
Xiao Gang took a look at the surrounding environment, and then~
"When the hedgehog-head has free time these days, he sits there and looks at the entrance."
A faint, unique and low voice was heard from the side.
"Did you get here early too?"
Ash couldn't help but turn his head and look at the expressionless boy with one hand in his pocket:
"Paul?"
The familiar cold purple outfit once again caught everyone's eye.
"I just arrived recently too."
Paul said calmly: "Since you are here, you should have collected all eight badges, right?"
"Of course."
Ash smiled, "What about yours?"
"Same."
Paul looked at him again, and at the Pikachu on his shoulder, as if focusing on it for a long moment.
I am looking forward to having the opportunity to compete with you again after the conference officially begins."
After leaving these words, Zhentong left without looking back.
It seemed as if he had come to meet Ash just to say this.
Just like Gary just now, he sat here and waited for such a long time.
Just to meet Ash.
In this way, Ash is quite popular.
"It seems like, Ash, you've already been targeted by two people before you even officially start attending the conference.
Misty joked there.
"But this is also a good thing~"
Xiao Gang crossed his arms and said, "This will motivate Ash even more and ignite his fighting spirit~!"
As for encouragement, I really feel that way at the moment.
Ash has always had a peaceful mentality.
But there was one thing that he was a little confused about.
"Why do I feel like they both spent so much time looking at Pikachu and me?"
Before leaving, Gary and Paul kept their gaze on him and Pikachu for quite some time.
This shouldn't be an illusion~
"Huh 0.5? Another Trainer with Pikachu?"
"It seems so. Someone came here before, but it seems he was mistaken for someone else."
"I know the one before, I think his name was Ritchie, and he looked like him..."
There were many discussions among the passers-by Trainers nearby.
Another Trainer with Pikachu?
Ritchie?
Hearing the name, Ash was stunned at first, but then he reacted immediately.
"1349..."
Ritchie is Ash's rival in the Kanto Region. He is very similar to Ash and captures many of the same Pokémon.
The first time he met Ash was because their Pokémon were all taken away by a trap set by Team Rocket.
Ash's mother Delia and Professor Oak invited Ash and his group to dinner at the restaurant.
Ash and Ritchie met for the first time in the hotel elevator.
After leaving the restaurant, Ash heard that there was a necessary Pokémon health check.
After handing over all the Pokémon, the staff revealed their true identity - Team Rocket, and escaped with the Pokémon balls.
Ash and Ritchie, who was also deceived, chased Team Rocket together, and then the two of them successfully found it together.
Later, in the fifth round of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
It was also in the round of 16 that Ritchie and Ash had a Pokémon battle.
When the show was about to begin, Ash and his group suddenly received a call from the so-called Ritchie asking Ash to go out and meet him.
Ash happily went there, only to find that it was Team Rocket's Nasty Plot.
Team Rocket pestered Ash and prevented him from going to the game, which eventually caused Ash to almost be late.
Moreover, because there were too many Pokémon in my hands, I had consumed too many calendars.
Only Pikachu and Squirtle could barely put up a fight.
But even so, the two Pokémon fought until the last moment, and the other side only had one Pikachu left.
And here, Ash only has the only Charizard left.
Then, those who understand will understand.
