Chapter 854 The Question of the Crimson Sun
Yang Ming leaned against the edge of the pool, the water reaching above his chest. The rising steam blurred his vision, and also blurred the lingering thoughts that had just been there.
He did not answer.
"Are you thinking about Bei Shang?" Chi Ri asked.
No.
“Don’t try to fool me,” Chi Ri said coldly. “Your expression betrayed you when you heard the name ‘Feng Lu’.”
“Heh, you’re wrong,” Yang Ming denied immediately. “I was just thinking about something more important, like Sachi, who you worked with before. Could the people behind her be from this era?”
"What did you say?" Chi Ri's pupils shrank sharply as he stared directly at Yang Ming.
“Don’t look at me like that. Satchi is a traitor to Team Rocket. I came to Sinnoh to help the organization hunt down this traitor,” Yang Ming raised an eyebrow. “So we have also investigated her dealings with your Team Galactic.”
Chi Ri did not speak immediately.
Indeed, although Yang Ming is now the King of Alola and has close ties with some Gym Leaders and Elite Four members in various places, he was originally from Team Rocket and has not yet shaken off that identity.
However, since Darko started the war in the Johto region, the League's control has been somewhat loosened. In order to protect themselves, various regions have begun to recruit powerful trainers in large numbers, and even trainers with "complex identities" like Yang Ming are not spared.
The Alliance headquarters, located on the Quartz Plateau, chose to turn a blind eye to the arbitrary actions of its various branches.
“None of that matters now,” Yang Ming said calmly. “I’ve already killed the traitor Sachi, and the people behind her have achieved their goal and tricked us all.”
The "we" here refers not only to Team Rocket and Team Galaxy, but also to the Sinnoh League led by Cynthia.
“So in order to prevent that guy from achieving his ultimate goal, I have always regarded him as the number one threat and have been paying attention to some suspicious things,” Yang Ming stared at the steaming water. “And in the previous battle with the Devilsaur, I found that the controlled Pokémon were all emitting some strange black aura.”
“And that black energy is very similar to the black energy that Dark Do used to control Lugia more than a year ago,” Yang Ming’s voice was calm, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself. “You may not believe it, but I not only participated in that battle, but I even fought against Dark Lugia.”
At that time, he was the division leader of Team Rocket's Goldenrod division. In that battlefield where Elite Four members were everywhere, he was just a minor figure. However, with Yang Ming's activity in the Alder Forest and Team Rocket's final victory in the Alder Forest battle, he became a hot figure after the war. He was not only valued by Giovanni, but also won over by several major families in the league.
"At the time, I only heard that Sakaki defeated Darko and squeezed the Alliance out of the capital, and that an elite player shone brightly in that battle. I never expected it to be you." Akari's voice carried a hint of ambiguous emotion.
“But even if you’ve seen the black substance controlling Lugia with your own eyes, that doesn’t prove it’s connected to the Green Age,” Red Sun said coldly. “Don’t forget, the climate of the Green Age is different from that of modern Sinnoh. In modern times, Pokémon like Devilsaur are extinct.”
“I didn’t say that the Sinnoh also has the Deer of the Horned Deer,” Yang Ming said, word by word. “What I mean is, since we can travel from the modern era to the Green Era, then the other side can also travel from the Green Era to the modern era.”
"What did you say?!" Akari's voice almost distorted in the empty bathhouse.
If what Yang Ming said is true, then the situation has become very serious.
"This explains why he can control so many legendary Pokémon, and even Moltres in Sachigal."
"After all, who knows what a dangerous person who can travel through various timelines is capable of doing."
"Moreover, before I killed Sachi, I heard her say that Dakdo was just a pawn in her 'master's' hands."
“Based on your reasoning, Darko most likely obtained the black energy that controls Lugia from that mysterious person,” Red Sun’s voice was devoid of any emotion. “But according to my intelligence network, Darko is a descendant of the Dark Dynasty, and the energy he uses to control Pokémon originates from the Dark Dynasty.”
“These two things are not contradictory. Don’t forget that the Dark Dynasty was established 200 years ago, while Xicui’s history is even earlier,” Yang Ming analyzed. “Since that mysterious person has the ability to travel through time, the source of the Dark Dynasty’s technology is very likely to be him.”
Chi Ri remained silent. Yang Ming's conclusion was reasonable, but also extremely disheartening. If the other party truly possessed this ability, then everyone else, including the most powerful alliance on the surface, would merely be playthings in his hands.
"Since the other party has the ability to travel through time and space at will, he should have been able to easily kill all the obstacles. But the fact is that so far, neither the league nor the Rockets have shown any signs of being eliminated."
"yes……"
Yang Ming also felt that his reasoning had flaws. Putting everything else aside, that mysterious person had been trying to kill him all along. If he really had the ability to travel through time at will, he should have already traveled back to when he was weak and nipped the threat in the bud.
“Perhaps he encountered some kind of obstacle,” Yang Ming analyzed. “There’s more than one Pokémon that can travel through time; Dialga and Celebi can both do it…”
Oh, right, shurabi!
Yang Ming suddenly realized something and excitedly stood up from the hot spring.
"what happened to you?"
“Now I understand why Darkdo wanted to get Celebi back then,” Yang Ming’s voice suddenly tightened, water droplets slid down his back, like some kind of lingering sweat in the rising heat, “This guy ostensibly wanted to overthrow the Alliance and rule the world, but his ultimate goal was probably to rebel against that mysterious person.”
“And the rabbi was his bargaining chip in resisting the other side.”
“We all underestimated Darko, thinking he was just a pawn in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes,” Yang Ming sighed. “Now it seems that if he hadn’t lost to Sakaki back then, this guy probably wouldn’t be just a pawn, but a player sitting at the chessboard!”
However, it's pointless to talk about these things now. Darko was defeated by Sakaki in the Kiri Forest, and more than half of his painstakingly built crew was killed or wounded. Not only did he fail to subdue Celebi, but he also lost Lugia. Now that he has fallen into the hands of Ghettos, it is very difficult for him to turn the tide.
