Chapter 303 Plasma Team Destroyer
Feiyun City, Pier No. 1.
As one of the premier metropolises in the Pokémon world, its docks are bustling and luxurious, with enormous cruise ships, so large that their entire hulls are difficult to see from a distance, anchored here.
And these large cruise ships come and go.
A silver-white destroyer, no less impressive than these cruise ships and seemingly more combat-ready at first glance—at least with its steel-cast hull that looks like it could smash all these cruise ships to pieces—was mixed in with them.
What's puzzling is that this destroyer has been lingering here for quite some time.
This puzzled some people who frequently traveled to and from Feiyun City for business, and they began to speculate about the origins of the ship.
"This ship has quite a reputation. But the people inside haven't shown their faces even after I've been observing them for so long, that's really..."
'
At the pier where the ship was docked, a man disguised as a playboy who had just sent his girlfriend shopping in Feiyun City let out a helpless sigh.
Then, his shoulder was suddenly patted.
"If they won't show themselves, why don't we just go in and take a look?"
"Who are you?!"
The boy was startled by the tap on the shoulder. He turned around with wide eyes and saw a man wearing a beret, whose face was partially obscured, standing behind him.
This discovery shocked the boy even more.
He was highly trained, so how could someone approach him silently and tap him on the shoulder?
"Who I am is not important. But I know who you are." Ze Shu pulled his beret down a little and said in a low voice—he had bought this beret on a whim when he passed by a hat shop in Feiyun City.
"You know who I am?!" the boy exclaimed in astonishment.
Ze Shu smiled and extended his hand: "You're an investigator, right? Hello."
The disguised duties and name were revealed in a single sentence. Although the person smiled, extended his hand, and said hello, it sent chills down Heiji's spine. Known for his composure, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.
But then, Ze Shu's next words put his mind at ease a little.
"I'm an investigator too, yeah, one of us."
"Phew... I see..."
Kuroji let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know how or how the investigator knew about him, at least he wasn't an enemy, right?
He's still a rookie investigator, and his experience is definitely lacking.
Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked at Ze Shu, abandoning his feigned playful demeanor, and asked seriously, "You're also here to investigate this ship? Then you must also suspect it! It seems our investigations are heading in the same direction!"
'
Ze Shu: "You mean this ship belongs to Team Plasma, which is wanted by the United Federation, and that Team Plasma members are hiding on board, right?"
Kuroji nodded and said seriously, "Yes!"
"However, I've been squatting here for quite a while, but no one has disembarked from this ship, and there hasn't been the slightest movement. While this is suspicious, it's not conclusive evidence."
Heiji remained expressionless when he said this, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Raised by the Interpol police and considered exceptionally talented, he was groomed to become a rising star in the investigation field. Despite undergoing such rigorous training, his initial missions yielded no progress, which genuinely frustrated him.
Ze Shu repeated what he had just said, "Just go in."
"I've tried to get in many times! But this ship is heavily guarded and tightly sealed, making it difficult to sneak in!" Kuroji thought that Sawaki's words were easy to say but too difficult to put into practice.
"But if you're asking me to help you get in, although I think it's impossible, perhaps I..."
Ze Shu shook his head, interrupting Kuroji.
"I'm not here to ask for your help. I'm just reminding you that once I'm on board, you can leave without taking any further action—because I'm in charge here."
"Why?" Kuroji asked, somewhat unconvinced. He had been investigating this place for quite some time.
"Because it's an order." Danze Shu took out his investigator's medal.
The words "Special Grade" and the unique pattern belonging to senior investigators are on it.
It caused the pupils of Kuroji to tremble.
After a moment of stunned silence, he obediently lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Although investigators have a lot of freedom and often act alone, if they encounter the same incident, they must naturally follow the orders of their superiors.
Moreover, Ze Shu, a Special Class Investigator, is several levels higher than Hei Ji, a rookie investigator.
"See you next time." Zeki nodded and said goodbye to Kuroji.
But Kuroji didn't leave. He wanted to see how Sawaki boarded the ship, which he considered extremely difficult to board.
Then, he saw Ze Shu meet up with two women, both wearing brand-new hats, and then brazenly walk onto the boarding gate of the destroyer. But there were people watching, and the screening was very strict!
However, Kuroji saw that Sawaki was not hindered at all, but was instead respectfully invited inside by the two people on the boat.
This situation left Kuroji completely bewildered.
Is it really that simple?!
They actually boarded a ship with such strict screening procedures as the Plasma Team?!
Is this really an investigator, or some kind of undercover agent sent by the Plasma Team to infiltrate the investigator team?
"Captain, you've finally arrived!"
"We've left our ship here for quite some time to wait for you to board!"
This Plasma Team destroyer had a small crew, and none of them wore the Plasma Team's distinctive spacesuit-like uniforms.
Upon entering the boarding gate, Ze Shu displayed the key he had exchanged with N and Quixote, which earned him the crew's utmost respect.
"Now that you're here, we're all your crew members."
Then, an old crew member with a pointed, monkey-like face and a thin, bony frame stepped forward and said he would explain the ship's functions to him, the captain.
"Captain, welcome aboard. My name is Joss, feel free to address me as you like. But if I may be so bold as to ask, did you come aboard in secret?" Joss winked at Ze Shu.
Ze Shu opened his mouth, but Joggs quickly waved his hand away. Actually, Joggs knew the answer even without Ze Shu speaking; after all, Ze Shu's act of wearing a beret and trying to hide his face already said it all.
His words were merely a reminder.
He reminded Ze Shu to be mindful of his "identity".
After a moment's thought, Ze Shu understood what these plasma teams were planning.
In the eyes of these plasma teams.
He was a Sinnoh League official who, through a series of coincidences, arrested N in Kitakami Township, but later, unable to resist the lure of Team Plasma's profits, secretly returned N to Team Plasma.
After N was returned to Quixote.
Team Plasma was immediately labeled an evil organization by the United Federation.
Therefore, Ze Shu, as an "Alliance official," naturally cannot openly cooperate with Team Plasma.
He probably won't even reveal the Plasma Team.
After all, there has already been a shady exchange of benefits, and Team Plasma now has leverage over Zeki, this "Alliance official"—a self-destruction by Team Plasma with a strong sense of justice is highly unlikely to be part of the code of conduct for this Alliance official who cannot resist the temptation of benefits.
As for Ze Shu's arrival on this ship, it was naturally necessary to do so secretly, without the Alliance's knowledge. As for the two "women" accompanying Ze Shu, Team Plasma only considered them to be Ze Shu's family members.
"Then let's set sail!" Jogos suddenly shouted.
It was as if Ze Shu had been ready the moment he boarded the ship. The next second after his shout, the entire destroyer started moving and, almost half a moment later, it sailed away from Pier 1 of Feiyun City.
"Leaving by boat so soon?" Ze Shu smiled.
"Of course, how can I introduce this ship to you, Captain, without setting sail!" Joggs chuckled as well. "Come with me."
Once the ship sailed away and grew further and further away from the Feiyun City dock, Joggs's attitude towards Captain Ze Shu was clearly not as good as when he first boarded the ship.
Even the formal "您" has been replaced with "你".
They even naturally exude an air of superiority.
"Our destroyer, although it is called a destroyer, is named only based on its size. It is not the kind of destroyer that performs escort missions or is only for air defense or torpedoes. On the contrary, I prefer to call it a sea fortress."

"That's also our goal in building this ship."
"Wandering around the destroyer," Joggs said proudly.
Ze Shu suddenly asked, "Can it fly?"
Jorgeston paused for a moment, then said, "No."
Ze Shu gave a nonchalant "Oh".
But just that "oh" made Joggs's old, bald head wrinkle with anger.
"Our destroyer is equipped with a lot of firepower and equipment! This is the culmination of our plasma squadron's technology!" He pointed to a high-tech, glowing bead on the edge of the ship's deck, saying, "This is one of the most advanced technologies on our ship—the energy shield system! Ordinary energy can't penetrate our energy shield!"
"And this, see the seams in this ship? This isn't due to poor workmanship, but rather a modular design! It allows the hull to be separated and then reassembled into a specialized type of ship! It's also easy to maintain!"
"besides!"
Joggs also refers to the gun barrels on the bow and sides of the ship.
"Our ship is equipped with massive cannons! Driven by a special energy source, they can unleash incredibly powerful freezing force. Their power is enough to freeze the skyscrapers and streets of an entire city in an instant! They are a crucial weapon for our large-scale destruction!"
"Now you understand the beauty of our maritime base, right?"
Joggs looked back at the Zeshu with a dangerous gaze.
"I understand, I understand." Ze Shu nodded, admiringly adding, "This ship does seem quite impressive."
Finally, Ze Shu exclaimed, "Your Plasma Team is really generous, entrusting such a powerful ship to me! Making me the captain!"
"If I were to meet the leader of your Plasma Team, I would definitely shake his hand personally and thank him for his generosity."
But upon hearing this, Joggs, gazing at the vast expanse of sea that had appeared after their long voyage, immediately sneered: "No, you don't actually think you've gotten this ship, do you? You're shameless! This is the pinnacle of our Plasma Team's technology! Even we struggle to replicate it! How could we possibly hand it over to you personally!"
As he said this, many Team Plasma appeared from all around and, together with Joggs, threw out Poké Balls.
In an instant, white light rang out with "bang bang bang," and centipede kings, eel kings, and toad kings appeared, staring at Ze Shu and the others with dangerous eyes.
"This vast sea is the burial ground for you, a greedy member of the Alliance," Joggs said, no longer concealing his malice. "The moment you successfully obtained the key to this ship, it was destined to happen."
Ze Shu nodded and said, "That's more like it."
The respectful manner they displayed when boarding the ship was unlike the typical behavior of the Plasma Team.
However, if the decision were made the moment the deal was completed to send Zeki, the Alliance member who had obtained the ship keys, to the ship to sabotage him, that would be more in line with Team Plasma's style.
Ze Shu's completely fearless expression made Joggs extremely uneasy. He frowned and immediately roared, "Centipede King! Venom Blast! Attack this person directly!"
The Team Plasma members who had suddenly appeared around him also unleashed their Pokémon at Zeki, each with their own unique moves, which they believed to be incredibly powerful.
Faced with these moves, Ze Shu sighed, "If you use such force and damage the boat I just picked up, how are you going to compensate me?"
Upon hearing this, Joglund was speechless.
What shameless talk!! Is this your ship?? Just like that!!
This shameless fellow is better off buried in this vast sea!
But to Joggs' surprise...
Just as Zeki was about to be submerged by the venomous impact, the 100,000 volts, and the water cannon attack.
Suddenly, a pure white dragon blocked his way.
A beautiful flame, a blend of cyan and shimmering gold, ignited and then swirled outwards like a vortex!
"White, White Dragon Rashiram?! This, this is..."
As one of the seven sages of Team Plasma, Joggs naturally recognized this Pokémon.
This move is the one described in mythology as Reshiram's exclusive technique used to burn the world to ashes: "Azure Flame"—although its actual power isn't quite that exaggerated.
Joggs thought that although this "Alliance official" might have some fighting ability, he would be no match for their Plasma Team's siege, and it would be an easy battle.
But unexpectedly.
The other party just pulled out a Lashiram?!
The blue flames burned fiercely, and all the Pokémon released by Team Plasma around them convulsed and fainted.
The centipede king's limbs were scorched and curled up in a ball, the eel king was almost roasted into dried eel, and even the toad king had its thick belly exposed, looking just like a roasted toad dried in the sun.
Rashiram stood proudly, his pupils glowing.
"Over here! And over here! And over there and over there! They've all jumped into the sea! Salamence, hurry and catch them!"
Higanbana commanded Salamence and Roaring Moon, moving away from the scorching center, and shouldered the task of knocking out and tying up the fleeing Plasma Team one by one.
Some of the Plasma Teams even jumped into the vast ocean in an attempt to escape, but they were all pulled out of the sea one by one by her Salamence.
"So, what do you say? Look at this dented floor. Your Plasma Team damaged my ship. How are you going to compensate me?"
Ze Shu slammed Joggs' head against the scorching floor, then pulled his hands behind his back, took out a pair of shackles, and bound both of his hands together. Then he slowly said this.
