Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Chapter 163 Who stole the Poké Ball?

Lu An glanced at Luther with some surprise. He hadn't expected Luther to give up so readily.

However, since things went so smoothly, Lu An naturally had no objections, so he didn't think much of it.

Long Ze gave Luther a meaningful look, but didn't say anything more.

Gangjie was also very happy.

The Magikarp he caught not only evolved into Gyarados, but was also able to compete normally, and with it, he won first place.

So what if I catch a king carp?

Who dares to call me Mr. Air Force now?

We're the champions!

In short, thanks to Luther's concession, Lu An and his two companions successfully became the first place winners of this fishing competition.

After a lengthy speech in the style of Kanto leaders, Gōsuke finally got his wish and received the top-quality fishing rod as the first-place prize.

While everyone in Lu'an was enjoying themselves, somewhere near Yuanshan Lake, a mysterious, black hole-like space opened up in the shady forest.

Two men emerged from the black hole space. Both were dressed in black, except for a red "R"-shaped mark on their chests.

"How about it?"

One of them asked.

The other person shook his head, fiddling with a device in his hand:

"No, although the Evolution Wave caused the Magikarp group to evolve into Gyarados, these Gyarados are not very bright. Not only can they not follow orders, but they are also extremely irritable."

"I'll need to make some improvements when I get back, and then I'll try it again next time."

The man leaned against the tree:

"But this time things seem to have gotten a bit out of hand. Not only are Officer Jenny and others there, but if I'm not mistaken, that Swampert should be Special Investigator Lu An's Pokémon."

The second person clicked their tongue.

"Yes, Mr. Maschindler told us a while ago that the guy had come to stay at Golden University temporarily. I never expected that we would run into him by chance during just one test."

"If he hadn't happened to be in the fishing group this time, we could have collected much more information about Gyarados."

"Maybe we can catch two more to take back and study again."

His tone was full of dissatisfaction and frustration with Lu An.

The first man patted his companion on the shoulder:

"Alright, don't be too upset. We can only blame our bad luck for picking such a time."

"Fortunately, we hid in the other dimension as soon as we saw the swamp monster, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable if it had discovered our presence."

The second man also relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief:

"You're right. It's already a stroke of luck that we were able to escape from him. Even if Lord Aju and the others find out, they won't ask for too much."

"It's a pity that Lu An stumbled upon this evolution experiment. Given his keen sense of smell and deep-seated hatred for Team Rocket, I'm afraid we can no longer conduct experiments at Far Mountain Lake."

The first man nodded:

"Ever since he arrived in Goldenrod City and settled there, I've been aware of the need to reduce Team Rocket's activities in Goldenrod City and gradually relocate some of their labs."

"The Gyarados evolution experiment also needs a more suitable location."

"Oh? From what you're saying, does that mean you've already found a suitable address?"

"Yes, the Lake of Wrath, near Kaji Town in the Johto region."

The second man's eyes lit up:

"The Lake of Rage is a good place. The official strength of the Johto region is also weaker than that of Kanto, making it more suitable for our experiments."

"It's because Lu An and these other investigators are always following us like shadows, making us act so sneaky and uncomfortable. Why doesn't Boss Sakaki fight back? We're Team Rocket, aiming to dominate the world!"

The first man patted his companion on the shoulder:

"Big shots always have their own considerations; we small fry just need to do our jobs well."

"And I overheard Lady Aju mentioning in a casual conversation that we'll soon let the Investigators see Team Rocket's fangs."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

A void of darkness opened once more, and the voices in the woods grew low and gradually returned to silence.

......

When Lu An returned to Golden University, he immediately spotted a cool and aloof older woman.

Long Ze, who had been following Lu An like a shadow, also saw the mature woman:

"Hey, isn't that Sabrina, the associate special student? What's she doing at Golden University?"

Lu An quickly calculated and knew that this woman must have come to find him, so he took the initiative to go and greet her.

"What's the matter?"

Naz glanced at Lu An:

"After the old men decided to put you on the mission, they showed you considerable concern."

"Given that you are about to face the lurking Team Rocket, the missing Blaine, and the three legendary birds, which poses a certain danger, they sent your two Pokémon back overnight."

Lu An looked at Nazi's slender waist with surprise:

"Which two came back? I didn't see them."

Lu An's gaze was intense, and even though she knew he wasn't looking at her slender waist but rather at the Poké Ball on her belt, Sabrina's face still flushed red, and she quickly avoided Lu An's gaze.

"What's the rush? I've never seen you in such a hurry at any other time."

As she spoke, she reached for her belt.

"what?"

Naza reached out and touched nothing.

This stunningly beautiful mature woman displayed a rare expression of astonishment:

"Those two Poké Balls were just on my waist, how did they suddenly disappear?"

You should know that Sabrina is a superpowered queen.

Who could steal her Poké Ball without her noticing?

Seeing this, Lu An's eye twitched:

"I think I know which of the elves is."

Although Longze idolizes Lu An, he only knows about Lu An's past experiences and glorious achievements, and doesn't know much about the personalities and private affairs of his Pokémon.

So he asked curiously:

"Special Grade, did your Pokémon steal the Poké Ball? Which Pokémon was it?"

Lu An looked at Long Ze with annoyance:

Instead of worrying about the identity of that Pokémon, you should check if you still have the Poké Ball on your belt.

Upon hearing this, Longze reached for the Poké Ball at his waist.

I found nothing.

Normally, Long Ze would be scared half to death, because those were his comrades who would accompany him in battle for many years!

But seeing Sabrina, who had just lost her Poké Ball, made Ryuzawa feel much better.

Lu An's calm and composed demeanor clearly indicated that he already knew who the "thief" was.

It's normal that he couldn't stop the thief, since even the Super Queen and the semi-special investigator, Ms. Natsumi, couldn't stop him.

However, this incident made Longze very curious.

Which Pokémon in the top-tier team has this kind of skill?

Is it a mysterious and unpredictable Ghost-type Pokémon?

Is it a Pokémon that can use the "Thief" move?

Lu An didn't keep them in suspense and shouted towards the open space around him:

"Magic Mask Cat, how long are you planning to keep hiding?"
