"..."

Red recalled Charmeleon and Eevee into their Poké Balls, said goodbye to Rika, and then left the Rainbow Gym with Pikachu.

Rika stood still, quietly watching the crimson figure gradually disappear into the distance.

"Miss Rika, since you can't bear to part with Mr. Akira, why don't you bring him into our fight against Team Rocket?"

At this moment, the girl who was acting as the referee walked to Rika's side, looked at the crimson figure leaving, and asked Rika in confusion.

"Because, there's no room for him in Yuhong City!"

Upon hearing this, Lijia slightly raised her head, looked at the sun hanging in the sky through the open window in the ceiling, and murmured something.

"His future will surely lead him to the pinnacle of this world!"

...

...

After leaving the Rainbow Gym, Red prepared to go to the Pokémon Center to treat the Pokémon.

then.

I'm going to search for the secret base that Team Rocket mentioned, and find out where it's hidden in Celadon City.

Especially the arcades in Yuhong City!

Because, according to my memories from my previous life, Team Rocket's secret base in Celadon City was located near the arcade!

but.

A game is a game, and memories are just memories from a past life.

In the real Pokémon world, even if Team Rocket's base is indeed in an arcade, it would definitely be very well hidden.

We need to search for and investigate the specific location before we can make a judgment.

...

...

"Hey, young man over there, can you help me out?" Red was on his way to the Pokémon Center when he passed by the Rainbow Building.

An elderly woman with white hair, wearing a purple coat, called out to him. She noticed that he looked like he was struggling and was carrying two babies.

"..."

Seeing this, Crimson did not hesitate and stepped forward to help the other party.

"Young man, this thing is very heavy..."

Before the old lady could finish her reminder, Chi Hong had already taken the box away.

Looking at how effortlessly the other person seemed to exert themselves, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, muttering to himself, "Young people these days really have strength!"

Subsequently.

Chi Hong then helped the old lady carry all the boxes into the apartment in the Yu Hong Building, at the old lady's invitation.

·· ···Requesting flowers· ······

The inarticulate Chi Hong reluctantly stayed to rest for a while.

"Here, have some tea. Grandma brewed it herself." The old lady skillfully brewed two cups of hot tea and handed them to Red and Pikachu.

She also patted Pikachu's head, clearly showing that the old lady really likes Pokémon.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu looked at the hot tea in front of it, reached out its little hand to pick it up, and without fear of getting burned, gulped it down. After taking a sip, it showed an expression similar to its grandmother's.

"..."

Chi Hong nodded slightly in response to the old lady, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of hot tea, and immediately felt a warm sensation flow into her whole body.

In that instant, Crimson felt his sea of ​​afflictions become exceptionally clear, and all the turbidity dissipated.

It was like a sudden awakening!

..... .... 0

"Young man, although I'm not a trainer, I do know a little bit. It's not just trainers who raise Pokémon; Pokémon also fight for their trainers!"

The words fell.

For some reason, Crimson suddenly felt that he was no longer in the apartment; he had come to a vast, white expanse.

Here, white mist surrounds us.

There was no path to walk on at all!

But, is it really impossible to see?

"...!"

Crimson suddenly woke up, opened her eyes, and found herself still sitting on the stool, still in the apartment.

Meanwhile, the old lady in front of him and Pikachu beside him were looking at him with some confusion.

"..."

Chi Hong calmed herself down, shook her head slightly to indicate that she was fine, and then picked up her teacup, preparing to take another sip.

He discovered that he had unknowingly drunk all the hot tea inside.

"Don't worry, don't worry, Grandma still has tea here. Let me pour you another cup. When you leave, Grandma will also give you a bag of tea leaves so you can drink it later."

Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but smile kindly a few times, poured Chi Hong another cup of tea, and slowly began to speak.

"..."

Chi Hong nodded, thanked the old lady, and continued to savor the tea she had brewed.

But he found that no matter how much he drank, he could no longer get back into the same state and return to that white, misty place.

........................................enter.

128. A scientist from the collaborating region—Akroma!

"Here, take these tea leaves. If you ever run out and want to drink more, just come find Grandma."

At the door, the old lady held a bag of tea leaves and handed it to Chi Hong with a kind expression, and slowly spoke.

"...Thanks.".

Chi Hong accepted the bag of tea leaves. Though not good at expressing himself, he still managed to say thank you, which was quite unusual for him.

Then, amidst the old lady's cheerful farewell, Red left the apartment and headed towards the Pokémon Center.

...

...

Pokémon Center.

"..."

After giving the Poké Balls of Charizard and Axew to Nurse Joy, Red headed to the waiting area.

I sat in a chair, waiting for Charizard and Axew to finish their treatment.

"..."

Leaning back in his chair, his bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly as he recalled the strange feeling he had when he drank his first cup of tea.

"Pikachu!"

"Bu~yi!"

Pikachu and Eevee were chatting nearby, with Eevee occasionally exclaiming in amazement as Pikachu recounted its journey with Red.

But that's about it.

"What an adorable Eevee! But unfortunately, it seems to have some flaws?"

At this moment, a tall, slender man with light yellow hair, wearing a white long coat and black trousers, and sporting a strange device resembling glasses on his head walked over.

Looking at Ibrahimovic, he shook his head with some regret and said.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Crimson opened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her, who seemed to be dressed in a machine. She felt that he looked somewhat familiar and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Hello, Akama, my name is Akoma. I came to the Kanto region at the invitation of a friend from the Unova region to do some research."

Upon seeing this, Akroma smiled politely, bowed slightly, and introduced himself.

At the same time, he spoke up again, answering Crimson's question: "As for why I know your name, it's because I happened to witness your battle when I first arrived in the Kanto region!"

"You and your Pokémon, that teamwork, that synergy, that power, left a deep impression on me!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Crimson felt relieved, but his vigilance did not lessen, because he recognized this Akromar.

In his past life's memories, this Akromar was, on the surface, a Pokémon professor in the Pokémon world.

But behind the scenes, he is a scientist in Team Plasma, a villainous organization in the Unova region. He holds a very high position, is the leader of Team Plasma, and a cooperative ally of Ghettoss.

Faced with such a guy who approached him for no reason, Chi Hong naturally had to be wary.

"Hehe, Red-kun, what do you think of the potential and power of Pokémon? How are humans able to unlock the potential of creatures like Pokémon?"

Knowing that Crimson was wary, Akromar chuckled twice, then put his hands behind his back, looked at Crimson, and asked a series of questions.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Crimson frowned. He had the answers to these questions in his heart, but being poor at expressing himself, he didn't know how to answer Akromah's questions.

"So, Red-kun, what do you think is it about humans that can unleash the potential of Pokémon?"

Akroma didn't seem to care, and instead asked a different question.
