Chapter 229 The Investigator is My Roommate
When Lu An found Imai, he was tied up with his father and Silver's employees.
Apollo clearly had no intention of killing them.
And he had no intention of taking them hostage.
This made Lu An wonder if the Rockets had some unknown conspiracy.
However, after discovering Lambda, Lu An had Espeon test Imai and the others for superpowers.
They discovered that there were no Pokémon like Ditto or Zoroark.
In other words, the people in front of him, including Imai, were the real people.
"Lu An?"
When Dangjing saw Lu An appear in the Silver Building, he was quite shocked.
He had considered that the league would not stand idly by and watch Golden City and Silver Tower fall into the hands of the Rockets, and that they would definitely be rescued by people sent by the league.
But he never expected that the first person he saw would be his roommate from Golden University, Lu An!
Especially when he saw Lu An dressed in that black outfit, he showed a rare emotional fluctuation.
"You little brat, you really are an investigator?!"
Seeing Imai staring intently at his clothes, Lu An was utterly exasperated.
"You and Gosuke, I clearly told you I'm an investigator, why don't you believe me?"
Imai Hidemi's pretty face lifted up, revealing a beautiful curve:
"I suspected from the start that you were someone special, but I just couldn't believe you were really an investigator, and..."
Imai glanced at Hirabe, who was standing next to Rikuan.
He clearly heard the respectful phrase "Special Grade" from this trainer in his thirties.
Among Pokémon trainers, strength is paramount.
But what kind of strength is needed to make a powerful Investigator trainer willingly submit?
Special grade?
Although he was not involved in politics, he knew that the last well-known Special Investigator was Yulongdu, who came from the capital and whose cloak covered the entire Kanto region.
Lu An is actually a Special Investigator of equal rank to Yu Longdu?
Just as Imai was processing the news, his father stepped forward, looking curiously at Lu An, the investigator who clearly knew Imai:
"My son, who is this...?"
Lu An bowed slightly:
"Uncle, my name is Lu An, and I am Imai's roommate at Golden University."
Suzuki Imai's father, Suzuki Nishizawa, upon hearing this, his face, which had remained unmoved even with Team Rocket's swords at his side, trembled slightly:
"My son's roommate is actually an investigator?"
Xize quickly shook hands with Lu An:
“My son must have received a lot of care from you at university.”
"Oh, not at all. I'm the one who received care from Imai."
"Not at all, my son is dull-witted and used to be very lazy. I was wondering why he's suddenly become so diligent lately. I suppose he's been influenced by the investigator."
"No, no..."
Watching Lu An and his father deferring to each other, Imai twitched his lips:
"Dad, they didn't come here specifically to rescue us. They probably have other things to do."
Upon hearing his son's words, Xize finally realized what was happening and loosened his grip on Lu An's hand.
"I'm so sorry, Investigator, I forgot."
Lu An broke free from the pleasantries and gave Imai a grateful look:
"Anyway, I'll have someone take you out of the Silver Building first. It will be very dangerous here later, so don't linger here any longer."
With that, Lu An called to Hirabe and instructed him to escort the Imai father and son, along with the other employees of the Silver Building, out of the building.
Imai couldn't help but ask:
"how about you?"
Lu An turned around and grinned.
"Of course, we should go and give those guys who arrested you a good beating."
......
"Bulbasaur, use 'Hypnotic Powder'!"
"Birds, birds, 'Frozen Wind'!"
Inside the Goldenrod Gym, before Bulbasaur's sleep powder could even land on Articuno, it was blown away by Articuno's wings.
Crimson avoided the chilling air that could freeze a person into an ice sculpture, and gritted her teeth:
"Articuno is so hard to beat."
Red looked at Articuno with a slightly complicated expression.
This wasn't the first time he'd seen an Articuno.
Misty, the Gym Leader of Cerulean City, had her Gyarados captured by Team Rocket for experiments, which made it even more aggressive than a normal Gyarados.
He subdued Gyarados and became friends with Misty.
Later, Misty traded her Krabby for her Gyarados.
During this process, he encountered Team Rocket, who were capturing Articuno.
To protect Articuno, he teamed up with Gyarados to launch a surprise attack on Team Rocket.
Unfortunately, he was alone and ultimately lacked the strength to do so.
Just as he was about to be surrounded by Team Rocket, he discovered that most of the Team Rocket members had been frozen in place by Articuno.
That's how he managed to escape.
Articuno then disappeared without a trace.
Unexpectedly, when they met again, Articuno was still a member of Team Rocket.
Just as the crimson-eyed man's expression became complicated, Athena, in the distance, fanned herself with her fan and said teasingly:
"Red, speaking of which, do you know how Team Rocket caught Articuno?"
Athena watched Crimson fight Articuno and chuckled.
"Back then, Articuno released a huge amount of energy to save you from Team Rocket, freezing everyone on Team Rocket into ice blocks."
"But it was precisely because of this that Articuno, which had consumed a lot of energy, was finally able to be captured by us."
Athena covered her mouth with her fan and laughed:
"So Articuno's ability to play for our Rockets is truly inseparable from your help, Red-chan, oh ho ho ho ho~"
Red dodged Articuno's attack once again, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
"Articuno, so you were protecting me all along..."
"Wow!"
Then, in the eyes of the captured Articuno, there was no longer any warmth from their past encounter with Crimson.
All that remained in its eyes was a chilling desire to eradicate the crimson red as quickly as possible.
"Arcanine, Flamethrower!"
A wave of heat rushed toward Athena, who was laughing wildly, and made her cough violently, as if her throat had been choked.
But just as the flames were about to hit Athena, a large bird crackling with electricity appeared once again, blocking Arcanine's "Flamethrower".
"Cough cough cough, Qinglv, you really have no manners."
Athena snapped out of her panic at being ambushed and glared fiercely at Qinglv.
To this, Qinglv simply scoffed.
"You old hag, you'd better use your fan to cover your face properly, otherwise I'm afraid I'll feel nauseous and won't even have the strength to fight."
"What! You green brat!! You, you actually dare to..."
Once again, Athena was relentlessly mocked for her appearance by Qinglv, and she was furious, as she always valued elegance and beauty.
"Zetsukuyon, strike him dead with lightning!"
"100,000 volts!!"
