Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 125 The Strange Masked Man

After Beedrill finished eating a level 54 Grunt, his level finally reached level 59.

However, when Shota looked at the dense stripes on his body, which were not as neat and uniform as the normal Beedrills, he knew that this was probably the upper limit of what the Beedrills could do. Although it was not the limit, he felt that the vitality of this Beedrill was beginning to enter old age. If he continued to eat it, this Beedrill would probably not survive for more than a month or two.

After putting the Beedrill into the Poké Ball, Shota walked out following the light coming from outside the cave.

"Finally we got out. I didn't expect the caves in the Silver Mountains to be so complicated."

Just as Shota was sighing, a masked man suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Congratulations, Team Rocket. You are the first one here. Hand over your ID card."

If Shota's guess is correct, this masked man should be Xia Bo.

Shota calmly took out his ID card from his space backpack and handed it to Xia Bo.

Xia Bo admired this man's courage. After all, if someone suddenly appeared in front of you, everyone would defend themselves in advance instead of being so calm.

"You're very courageous."

As he said that, Xia Bo took the ID card from Shota's hand, and after looking at it carefully, he returned the ID card to Shota.

"I didn't expect you to be from Viper. I remember this guy was quite honest... Never mind. This is none of my business."

Looking at Xia Bo talking to himself there, Xiangtai ignored him and looked at the white clouds floating in front of him. The top of the Baiyinmai Mountain was just like what Li Bai said - the sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke.

For some reason, Shota suddenly wanted to sigh about freedom.

But looking at Xia Bo who was looking at him, this thought was deeply suppressed by him.

"Hey, didn't your mother teach you not to keep looking at other people?"

After hearing what Shota said, Xia Bo touched his head, as if feeling embarrassed.

But what he said next gave Shota goosebumps all over his body.

"I just discovered that your body seems to have more than just superpowers. It seems to have a kind of insect energy. These two energies shouldn't coexist. Perhaps you are a good experimental material."

Shota swallowed, already placing his hand on the Poké Ball.

"Don't be so nervous, I'm just joking with you. After all, waiting for others is really a very painful thing. Otherwise, let's play a game. Let's bet on when the alliance will attack?"

Seeing Shota looking at him with an incredulous look on his face, Xia Bo said calmly: "Don't be so surprised, the alliance will come anyway."

Stroking his chin, Shota asked, "What's the bet?"

Xia Bo touched his head and took out a map from somewhere. After unfolding the map, he said to Shota, "This is where some ancient herbs are marked in the secret realm. How about this? If you win, I'll give it to you, but after you come out, you have to give me some of the herbs I picked from there."

I sighed in my heart that this guy was really capable, but I still asked: "Why do you think I can get out of there?"

"Oh, hahaha! This is a man's intuition."

Looking at this guy making the chuunibyou gesture, Shota began to doubt whether this guy was Xia Bo.

However, since there is a bargain, why not take advantage of it?

Without hesitation, Shota took the map from the masked man.

While looking at the map, Shota also expressed his thoughts on when the alliance would attack Team Rocket.

"Tomorrow, I guess."

"Then I guess it's the day after tomorrow."

And just like that, the conversation ended.

Then the masked man was silent for a while, and then began to mumble something.

Shota really couldn't stand this guy, buzzing in his ears like Tang Seng, so he used his super power to knock him onto the rock wall.

Then he found a place near the edge of the cliff and sat down, starting to memorize the locations of the herbs marked on the map.

The masked man also climbed out from the rock wall. It seemed that he had sprained his waist, so he calmed down.

Time passed quickly. At noon, after Shota finished eating a piece of compressed biscuit, four people finally came at the same time.

When Shota heard the voices of Ida Jiro and Asuka, he knew that the four-man group must have arrived.

"This is my identification."

Chikako Ikeda handed her ID to the masked man, but he held her hand tightly and would not let go. After she struggled to break free, Chikako Ikeda remained calm on the surface, but was secretly cursing the masked guy in her heart.

Seeing this, the other three did not say much, but separated, as if they were no longer the group of four as before.

Shota used his super powers to sense this scene, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After eating all the compressed biscuits in the bag, Shota entered a meditative state according to the super power training method taught by Nancy and began to practice super powers.

The four people also discovered the person sitting on the edge of the cliff, but none of them went up to talk to him. Instead, they each occupied a corner and did their own thing.

The masked man seemed to come to ease the atmosphere. He released a nine-tailed fox and started roasting something there using its flame.

Fortunately, no one paid any attention to him, otherwise, it would probably have been very noisy.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the masked man had to stop his acrobatics.

As time passed, Shota felt that his superpowers had improved a lot.

No wonder Nancy was able to climb from gym-level superpowers to the king level so quickly.

There was clearly the moon in my eyes just now, but now it has become the sun at noon.

Just as Shota was stretching, there was a sound of an explosion in the direction of Shirogane Town.

Shota turned around and said to Xia Bo: "I'm sorry, I won."

Xia Bo nodded, no longer acting funny as before. One could feel his seriousness from his silence.

At this moment, a huge vortex appeared in front of Shota.

Watching the huge vortex appear, Xia Bo said, "It's time for you to go in, and it's time for me to fulfill my duties."

As he spoke, Xia Bo released a king-level wind speed dog, and after it sat on him, it jumped down the mountain and disappeared in the white fog. What could be known was that it was heading towards the direction of Baiyin Town.

Listening to the explosions coming from afar and looking at the Rocket Team members running towards this side frantically, Shota turned around and walked into the secret realm first.
