"There are so many people all of a sudden..." Xiaoxia sighed.
When she and Guan Liyuan boarded the ship again, there were obviously many more guests, unlike before, when it felt like "nine out of ten rooms were empty", and there was even a long queue when boarding.
"It is said that in previous years, after the guests in Vermilion City boarded the ship, the Saint Annu would be 70% full, and there would be people getting on and off at each stop, and the number of people would always remain around 70%, of which 50% would start from Vermilion City and go all the way to Red Lotus Island, completing the entire Kanto trip." Guan Liyuan said.
"How do you know so much?" Xiaoxia looked at Guan Liyuan, who always lacked common sense, questioningly.
"Ahem, I just learned a little in advance." Guan Liyuan couldn't say that he suspected that the ship was going to sink, so he paid special attention, right?
"Then you had to stay at the Pokémon Center last night? Now you have to queue up to board the ship!" Xiaoxia complained.
Originally, Xiaoxia wanted to go back to the Saint Annu directly after challenging the Vermilion Gym, but Guan Liyuan insisted on staying at the Pokémon Center.
And the reason was that "the Pokémon Center provides free dinner and breakfast"...
Of course, Guan Liyuan was actually busy at the Pokémon Center yesterday, and he teleported back some of the Pokémon that were teleported back to the "World's No. 1 House"!
When he was capturing these Pokémon a few days ago, Guan Liyuan couldn't let them get into the Poké Balls on their own initiative under the watchful eyes of the public, so he really used Poké Balls to capture them.
Therefore, all the Poké Balls that exceeded the limit of six were automatically teleported back to the "World's No. 1 House".
The automatic transmission function of Pokémon is one-way. If you want to teleport Pokémon back from the "World's No. 1 House", you must use the equipment with a special line to achieve it.
Generally, only qualified breeding houses and Pokémon Centers have such equipment.
And what Guan Liyuan did was to use the six Poké Balls he originally brought with him to "replace" the six Pokémon deposited in the World's No. 1 House, and then cancel the capture effect of the Poké Balls, let them get into the Poké Balls on their own initiative, and then teleported six Pokémon from the "World's No. 1 House" to cancel the capture again... and so on.
In order to prevent problems on the Sant'Anno, and because the artificial lake simulation environment on the "World's No. 1 House" side has not been fully built, half of the aquatic Pokémon that Guan Liyuan has captured recently have been teleported back.
Guan Liyuan has recently teleported back a large number of aquatic Pokémon, and there are aquatic Pokémon from the four major regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Aquatic Pokémon from the other three major regions of Unova, Kalos, and Alola can also be seen, but the number is relatively rare.
Obviously, in the ocean, the habitat of Pokémon is much larger...
Therefore, Tomoko is worried that the construction of the artificial lake needs to be accelerated, and in terms of overall design, the scope of several artificial lakes needs to be further expanded.
At the same time, it was decided that the Pokémon eggs purchased do not need to include aquatic Pokémon, and the purchase volume of other non-aquatic water Pokémon has also been reduced, and more funds are used to purchase eggs of terrestrial Pokémon...
After all, Guan Liyuan's journey on the "Sant'Anno" has just begun, and it is destined that the "World's No. 1 House" will not lack aquatic Pokémon!
With an army of aquatic Pokémon, Guan Liyuan felt more confident.
It was finally Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia's turn to board the ship. A man dressed in the uniform of a cruise ship attendant and wearing sunglasses, who looked very deliberate and as if he was role-playing, came over, bowed and handed a flyer to Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia, and asked, "Are you two Pokémon trainers? You are so young! You must be young and promising trainers...
We... ahem, I mean our Sakaki Group will hold a Pokémon competition on the Sant'Annu. The preliminaries will start after the voyage, and one and a half months later when we dock at the 'Island of Time', the finals will be held at the headquarters of the Sakaki Group, and the winner will receive a generous reward..."
"Have we met somewhere before?" Xiaoxia moved closer, staring at the suspicious man in sunglasses and asked.
"Eh? Have you seen me before? Ah! You're not... ahem, I haven't seen you before at all, sorry to bother you..."
The man in sunglasses turned around and tried to leave, but was directly pulled back by Guan Liyuan, who forcibly took off his hat and sunglasses...
Under the work hat, a head of blue hair was revealed, which was relatively long from a male perspective!
"Huh? I really don't know him... but he looks so familiar." Xiaoxia asked in confusion.
She really didn't know anyone with this hairstyle and color.
"I, I said I don't know him, right? Ha, haha... hehe... you can give me back the sunglasses..."
Before he could finish, Guan Liyuan used his sunglasses to pin up his hair and cover most of it...
"Ah! It's from Team Rocket!" Xiaoxia finally managed to hold it back and immediately released the Gem Starfish.
That's right, it was Kojiro from Team Rocket!
Last time at the Zhenghui Lighthouse, Kojiro had been in charge of "monitoring" Guan Liyuan, so Xiaoxia was not familiar with him. Moreover, he had been wearing a Rocket Team hat at the time, and now that his hairstyle was exposed, he looked unfamiliar...
"Wait, wait! You have the wrong person, I am a crew member of the Saint Annu!" Kojiro still insisted that he did not know Guan Liyuan and Xiaoxia.
At this time, Officer Aoi seemed to see Xiaoxia releasing the Pokémon, and walked over and asked, "What happened?"
"Officer Aoi! This person is from the Rocket Team, and he attacked the Zhenghui Research Institute before!" Xiaoxia said immediately.
"Huh? Attacked the Zhenghui Research Institute..." Aoi frowned after hearing the name of "Team Rocket", but then he was obviously more inclined to delve into the "attack on the research institute".
Obviously, as Professor Oak said, "just" being a member of the Rocket Team is not enough for Junsha to have the power to arrest them.
However, Kimisa Aoi is a police officer of the Kimisa clan in Sinnoh, and obviously does not know about the incident at the Zhenghui Research Institute...
After all, Zhenghui stopped the people at the institute from leaking the information about the super-giant Dragonite, and the Rockets obviously did not spread it. Therefore, this is just a "not too noticeable" hijacking incident, and it is impossible that even the Kimisa in other regions know about it.
"Hahaha, this lady may have some misunderstandings? The thugs who hijacked the Zhenghui Research Institute have been arrested by the Alliance before. There are no fish that have escaped the net and there is no wanted. This is a law-abiding employee of my group. I am worried that the manpower on the Saint Annu is insufficient, so I brought them here."
A man who looked to be in his thirties, wearing a well-dressed suit, with a firm look in his eyes, and the word "confidence" was almost written on his forehead came over with a big laugh.
"Obviously, his hairline is already worrying, and he still has a buzz cut... So confident!" Guan Liyuan muttered in a low voice.
However, the muttering voice was obviously a bit loud. Guan Liyuan found that Sakaki's expression was obviously stiff for a moment, and what was even more deadly was that Kojiro on the side couldn't help laughing...
Guan Liyuan looked at the idiot with a "heartache". It is estimated that Sakaki really wants Officer Aoi to arrest this idiot directly!
"Has the case been closed?" Officer Aoi said with a grim expression.
Although she is a police officer in the Sinnoh region, as a member of the Junsha clan, she naturally knows the bosses representing the *** groups in various places!
Especially the Rocket Team...
the leader of the violence groups in the two major regions of Kanto and Johto, the violence group with the largest range of activities, and the only violence group that reaches out to other regions in the animation.
Hearing what Sakaki said, Junsha Aoi immediately understood that the other party would not lie about such a thing that could be easily verified, but she did not think that Xiaoxia had recognized the wrong person...
It is likely that the Rocket Team just found some scapegoats to take the blame and accept the punishment. If they really look for the process files, I am afraid that the case has indeed been closed.
"Well? Officer Dipo is here. If Officer Aoi has any questions, you can ask our ship officer in Kanto." Sakaki said to Junsha Aoi behind him.
"Dipo?" Guan Liyuan was also surprised to see Junsha Dipo here.
Although I knew that when sailing in Kanto and Johto, the Quartz Alliance would also appoint Kanto's Junsha and Joey to sail with the ship, I didn't expect that it would be Dipo!
Firstly, there are probably hundreds of Junsha people in the Quartz Alliance, and I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Secondly, after seeing Junsha Kui, Guan Liyuan estimated that the Junsha sent by the Quartz Alliance would also be this more experienced "old man".
"Huh? Liyuan, Xiaoxia? You are here too?" Dipo was also surprised.
"What a coincidence! My aunt said that this trip is a good opportunity to gain experience, so she specially arranged for me to travel with the ship. I was originally feeling a little lonely traveling alone because I didn't have any acquaintances! It's great to see you..."
"Ahem! Officer Dipo!" Junsha Kui was about to make a tic-tac-toe above his head.
Dipo actually realized at this time that Junsha Kui and Sakaki were right next to him, and hurriedly said: "Ah! Officer Kui and Master Sakaki are also here? Excuse me..."
[Is it really okay to let this guy accompany the Kanto region's Junsha representative? ] Guan Liyuan secretly complained.
Guan Liyuan didn't know whether he should be happy or embarrassed to see that Dipo locked onto him and Xiaoxia at a glance when Sakaki and Aoi were both there, and didn't notice anyone else at all...
"Xiaxia just said that this guy seemed to be involved in a hijacking in the Kanto region, but Master Sakaki..." Officer Aoi obviously didn't have the intention to complain about the secret operation of Junsha in the Kanto region, but confirmed the hijacking incident of the Zhenghui Research Institute with Dipo.
"Indeed, I have also paid attention to this incident before. The 20 members of Team Rocket who participated have all been brought to justice afterwards." Dipo said.
When talking about Team Rocket, Dipo looked at Sakaki awkwardly...
Well, among the people around now, it is obvious that Xiaoxia is the only one who doesn't know that Master Sakaki is also the "part-time" boss of Team Rocket.
"How is it possible? It's obviously this guy! Even the stupid posture is the same!" Xiaoxia said unconvinced.
Seeing that Dipo looked a little embarrassed, Guan Liyuan pulled her hand to stop her, but didn't notice that Xiaoxia blushed and glared at him.
"Ahem, maybe we made a mistake. Sorry, Officer Aoi." Guan Liyuan said as he forcefully put Kojiro's work cap on his head.
Kojiro looked at Guan Liyuan unhappily, but this time Sakaki, who had a high hairline but was still confident, had no intention of giving him a break...
