Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 142 "Blind Guess! It's Definitely the Rockets!"

Chapter 142 "A Blind Guess! It's Definitely Team Rocket!"

Leaving the busy coastal area, the surroundings open up to a seamless blend of sea and sky.

Apart from the occasional NPC leisurely strolling around riding a Gyarados or Lapras, all that remains is the boundless blue sea.

As they gradually approached the relatively remote Twin Islands area located on the edge of the shipping route...

Red, Xiaozhi, and the viewers in the live stream all clearly noticed something was wrong.

On the sea, the waterways that should have been empty and desolate were now filled with a large number of yachts carrying people, all speeding in the same direction.

This is extremely unusual!

The Twin Islands are located in a remote area, and apart from two snow-capped mountains with monotonous scenery all year round, there is almost nothing on the islands, making them not a popular tourist destination at all.

Very few people knew of its existence, so it was impossible for such a large and purposeful fleet to suddenly appear!

Therefore, there is only one truth.

This group of people is definitely not an ordinary tourist!

"I'm guessing! It's definitely the Rockets!"

"Is that even a guess? If it's not Team Rocket, I'll eat them! I just wonder what those persistent guys are up to on Twin Islands this time? Do they also have clues about Articuno?"

"Just joined the live stream, what's going on? There's Articuno on Twin Islands? I turned the island upside down during my first playthrough and didn't see a single one? Is there some kind of hidden condition?"

"No conditions required~ It's very simple. First, find the hidden entrance in a desolate, barren rocky area to enter the unmanned power plant. Then, successfully avoid the death corridor formed by 108 self-destructing Electrode. Finally, defeat the Zapdos that is far superior in level. Anyone can do it."

"Thanks for the invitation. I just came out of the abandoned power plant, following the guide, but I didn't see a single Zapdos, not even a yellow feather! All I saw were endless Electrode bombs chasing after me! I can't stand this place for another second!"

"Ash, stay alert and prepare for any possible battle."

The ominous premonition in Crimson's heart was almost confirmed, and he immediately reminded him in a deep voice, his tone serious.

"Let's follow them quietly and see what they're up to."

"Understood, senior!"

Ash also calmed down, his expression turning serious.

The two decisively adjusted their direction and slowed down.

Using the slight ripples on the sea and the distance, they silently followed behind the suspicious fleet of yachts.

Arrival at Twin Islands.

As expected, the yachts all headed towards the same destination: a small bay surrounded by cliffs on one side of the island.

What's even more alarming is that everyone disembarking from each yacht was dressed in the same Team Rocket R uniform.

They were carrying not only various weapons, but also some heavy-looking boxes and unidentified instruments.

The entire landing process was swift, quiet, and orderly, resembling a well-trained special forces unit carrying out a highly classified mission. They quickly assembled on the shallows, with a seemingly leader-like, imposing squad leader standing at the front of the group, as if conducting a pre-battle mobilization.

However, due to the distance, Red and Ash, who were hiding behind a patch of hardy bushes on the shore, could only see each other's lips moving and could not hear the specific content at all.

"The Rockets! It's the Rockets! It really is those bad guys!"

Ash recognized the familiar uniform, and his sense of justice surged instantly. He immediately wanted to control Little Ash to rush forward and launch a righteous surprise attack.

"Wait! Don't be impulsive!"

Red-eyed and quick-witted, he immediately stopped him.

If it were in the past, that hot-blooded, impulsive Red would probably have made the same choice as Ash.

Regardless of the consequences, let's just start fighting.

But now, he has already been tempered and grown in the dangers of Pokémon!

The current Crimson team is all about strategy!

"They are too numerous, well-equipped, and appear to be well-prepared. Forcing their way in would be a very unwise move."

A slight upturn of his crimson lips revealed a confident smile, as if he had everything under control.

"Moreover, I have an even better way that not only lets us figure out their purpose, but also allows us to walk right into their midst."

"Really, senior? What method is so amazing?"

Ash's eyes immediately lit up, filled with curiosity and admiration.

Crimson didn't answer immediately, but just smiled mysteriously.

He manipulated Red to open his backpack and skillfully took out the Team Rocket uniform that he had kept as a souvenir ever since he obtained it from the Team Rocket base in Celadon City!

In the game, Xiao Chi quickly changed his clothes and transformed himself.

The once clear-eyed, righteous young trainer has disappeared!

Instead, a veteran member of Team Rocket appeared with a cold and slightly sinister look in his eyes, exuding an aura of "keep away" and "don't mess with me"!

The live stream chat was silent for a second, then erupted in a barrage of complaints.

"You think you can't beat them, so you join them?! Where is your humanity? Where is your morality? Where is your dignity? Where is the bond of uniformity?!"

"Regarding the matter of the Legendary Battler choosing to infiltrate enemy territory for intelligence purposes."

"Good heavens! I mean, good heavens! Intelligence and stuff, once I become a member of the Rockets, won't it be a piece of cake? (laughs)"

"Akabo! My Akabo! You weren't like this before! (Heartbroken) Which bastard turned you into this! Oh, it's Mr. Salty Fish, never mind~ (doge)"

"No problem! He can definitely walk in without any trouble! I remember Red Boss has that 'Team Rocket Elite' ID card in his backpack! His access level is probably even higher than this squad leader's!"

"Red (with a cold face): Ash, I'm coming clean. I'm not pretending anymore. I'm actually a spy sent by Team Rocket to the League!"

"Disguise!!! Senpai, where did you get that Team Rocket uniform from?!"

Unlike the complaints in the bullet comments, Ash looked at Red's incredibly cool and stylish appearance in the game, and his eyes sparkled with longing!

"Becoming a member of the Rockets to gather intelligence is really, really Thai!!!"

"hey-hey·--"

Crimson couldn't help but chuckle, a sense of smug satisfaction rising within her as if she had successfully pulled off a prank.

He had thought he was already indifferent to praise or criticism, but now it seemed that the sense of accomplishment brought by this strategy of outsmarting rather than attacking, as well as the reaction of his companions, was indeed particularly pleasing.

So this is what it felt like when Bai Zhou was showing me all sorts of crazy tricks! Seriously, so incredibly cool!!!

"The most efficient strategy is to obtain enemy intelligence without lifting a finger."

Chi Hong suppressed her smile, and her tone became calm again.

"Xiao Zhi, stick close to me from now on, don't say much, and do everything according to my signals."

"Mmm-hmm!"

Ash was completely impressed by Red's actions and aura, nodding vigorously and controlling Little Ash to follow closely behind Red.

Trying to imitate that "I'm not someone to mess with" vibe might backfire.
