Chapter 580 Revisiting the 7 Islands (1)
The open sea far from the Kanto region.
On a deserted island in the south...
This is a mysterious place surrounded by the sea and not marked on the Alliance map.
At the same time, this was also the place where the Rockets earned their first pot of gold.
In the past, people in the underworld called this place "Devil's Island".
Now that the Rockets have cleared their name, let's call this place New Island.
[Dad, there are so many pink fairies here! I've never seen them before. What are they called?]
Ditto has only one move: transformation...
At this moment, Ye Kai and his daughter were swaggering down the corridor of the New Island Rockets base.
His magnetic field and superpowers are too strong.
It can even interfere with people's subconscious, causing them to automatically ignore them, and also disrupt the operation of electronic devices such as surveillance equipment.
[What's the point of just turning into other spirits?]
[Hehe, that would be incredibly useful, look...]
Ye Kai pointed in a certain direction.
Ye Yao projected her X-ray vision onto the distant biological factory.
These pink slimes are clearly abnormal; they are in a state of unconscious slumber as they are fed into the machine one by one.
Then, before long, they transformed into all sorts of sprites.
Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise...
Ok? !
Even Ye Kai frowned at this.
It's not just a simple transformation, it's a clone?!?
Those Ditto monsters, after being processed using biotechnology, have actually become the raw materials for Pokémon!
[Aren't elves supposed to hatch from eggs? How come there's this kind of birth?]
Faced with his daughter's question, Ye Kai was unable to explain the "cloning" issue to her for the time being.
Nothing is absolute; there are always exceptions...
They saw many new and interesting things at the Rockets' new island base.
There are strange sonic waves that force Pokémon to evolve.
There are also extremely dangerous stimulants, high-purity pheromone veterinary drugs, and other such things.
And there's also the stinky mud working overtime to settle, filter the gold, and rub it into big gold beads.
There have even been experiments exploring Eevee's multiple evolutions and the possibility of new evolutions...
They then looked around at the corridors of the surrounding park.
Enthusiastic slogans were posted everywhere.
Don't claim to be loyal if you don't put in the effort.
If you don't work hard, you're not family.
If you don't work hard, no one will love you!
Gee...
Ye Kai then looked through the other parts of the corridor.
Elite Operator Ryoichi.
He earnestly urged his subordinates to go home and visit their families.
Encourage seriously ill colleagues to continue working overtime!
What the heck, a poet holding this?
Endure more hardship.
Do more work.
Make a little money!!
Awesome, truly awesome!
It seems that Rocket's influence has spread to nine major regions outside the country, making it a monopolistic super-capital.
So, is Giovanni finally dropping the pretense and revealing his true colors?
Sunny days, cloudy days, rainy days, all are good days!
Treat night as day, and one sunny day is equivalent to three!
We work through rain, we work through torrential rain, we just keep working!
Go go go go go...!!!
It seems... the Rockets won't be able to keep up this momentum for long.
That's human nature.
Stop saying the Pokémon world is wonderful.
Even so, villains like Giovanni can still emerge!
"Snapped!!"
"Snapped!!"
"Will you tell me or not?!"
The two soon heard the sound of whipping coming from the surrounding rooms.
"You're not getting anything out of me... Ugh!!!"
Raichu used its electrified tail to slice off a piece of flesh from his arm, as if cutting butter with a red-hot steel knife.
"Hmph, if you don't talk, I'll keep cutting. Let's see how long you can keep up this stubbornness!"
Through his ability to see through things, Ye Kai learned that the man was an expatriate employee of the Devon Company.
It turned out to be the case.
The Rockets used kidnapping, attacks, and ransom demands to extort money.
They even went so far as to turn people against their own companies, using coercion and bribery to gradually force them into submission.
And now, this expatriate employee has access to core data about the "learning device".
This is a powerful device that allows Pokémon to share the experience of Pokémon that have already battled without them having to participate in the battle!
This is a revolutionary new product; it has proven extremely effective, at least in testing with the Magikarp Pokémon!
Nearly 4% of the Magikarp test subjects evolved into Gyarados!
Even if it doesn't successfully evolve, its level has increased significantly.
The Rockets' management believes that if they could acquire the technology for the learning device, combined with the evolutionary sound waves they already use, they could achieve great success.
At that time, the probability of Magikarp evolving into Gyarados could increase to around 7%!
This kind of commercial value is absolutely enormous!
This is something unimaginable in the past!!
Make money, make money, make money!!!
The Rockets are united in one mind: make money, make money, make money!!
And there are countless other rooms like this, used to torture prisoners, on New Island!
Even Ye Yao frowned when she saw it.
Ye Kai decisively took her to Golden Kingdom to find her mother.
To prevent her from going astray.
If it's a boy, his educational approach will be very different.
But girls are an exception.
They are prone to precocious development and can easily go astray, so they need to be handled with care.
The new island has a wide range of industries, and these are not the only ones.
This place is also a paradise for the wealthy and powerful.
Golf courses, billiard halls, basketball courts, soccer fields, badminton courts... even racetracks, greyhound racing, cockfighting, underground boxing matches...
If you can imagine it, you can find it here!
Furthermore, there are plenty of beautiful and handsome Team Rocket operators to provide one-on-one coaching.
Of course, having more people is also fine, as long as you have money.
Of course, the living area for employees is separated from the area where the wealthy people enjoy themselves.
There's another setting that Ye Kai often criticized before his transmigration, but he now understands it.
Why do fan fiction often depict Team Rocket members as having an extremely high mortality rate during training camps...?
Holy crap, how could it not be high?
The wealthy bet on each member, accumulating chips.
If you guess correctly who will survive to the end, you can reap a huge reward!!
That's right, even this attribute has become just a form of entertainment!
Often, out of a group of 100 members, less than 20 will actually win!
In a squad of four, there are those who betray their teammates, those who cooperate with the enemy, those who feign death to turn the tables, and those who hide from beginning to end like "prone campers."
There are all kinds of people...
It truly lives up to its name as "Devil's Island"; it's utterly depraved.
Here, Ye Kai even saw the Porygon production factory, but he still couldn't find Mewtwo.
It seems Mewtwo is no longer here?
Since that's the case, there's no point in staying here anymore.
He neither liked nor disliked the Rockets...
He won't easily take action unless someone gets in his way.
People like Ye Kai, once they make a move, will do it twice or three times.
If this continues unabated, within 10 years, the world will be unified again.
That's just another invincible, lonely old road.
That's truly boring.
He glanced at the map and, deciding on the nearest option, decided to head to the Seven Islands for a stroll...
……
In the ruins of Ascana.
Ye Kai revisited the site and came to this ruin once again.
Inside the dimly lit stone chamber, only unknown totems appeared.
But they were somewhat afraid of him and all scurried away.
I thought I'd find something here, but it seems like there's nothing of value...
Just after he left the ruins, he saw a familiar elf on the beach.
Yes, they are starfish.
Ye Kai had a strong feeling of getting to know this starfish.
"Guwoo ya~"
This starfish is surprisingly low-level, only level 1...
Its presence here alone is itself a strange thing.
Since they had met, it must be fate, so Ye Kai caught it with a single shot.
Starfish... I suppose this is the elf that Rebecca is most familiar with in the world of memories.
……
Island #6.
The "point of attack" in the Valley of Ruins.
Ye Kai stroked the dotted characters on the stone pillars on both sides of this ancient site.
[Please... split open this stone wall, use iaido...]
He had the giant ibex pull out a weapon, which easily broke through the stone wall and allowed them to enter the ruins.
Inside the acupoint, it was pitch black.
But this didn't stump him at all; he was no longer someone who simply saw things visually.
The stone tablet in the darkness was easily found, still covered with various dotted characters.
Ye Kai continued his interpretation.
There are two gems...
[The red one is named Ruby, the blue one is named Safia...]
[A perfect match, forging a new path for the past and the future...]
[Summon the stars from beyond the heavens, and your wish will be fulfilled.]
Ye Kai had played with the Fiery Red and Green Leaves before, so he naturally knew what was here.
Yes, there is a "sapphire" here.
Beneath the volcano of Denghuo Mountain lies another "ruby".
Compared to these two rare treasures, the information on these stone tablets may be more significant!
"Arousing stars from outer space... Could it refer to Ochisis?"
The inscription also mentions fulfilling wishes.
It matches up! It matches up perfectly!
It's obvious that Jirachi is still there!!
He definitely intends to acquire both of these gems.
……
5th Island
Ye Kai originally didn't want to come here.
After all, there's not much on the fifth island except for a Team Rocket warehouse.
He had even seen the Rocket Team's den of iniquity on New Island, so Ye Kai was no longer very interested in a mere base warehouse.
From this perspective, it's clear that Giovanni's decision to place Apollo here was a way to suppress him.
With Apollo's managerial talent, it's a real waste of his abilities to just stay on the seven islands and manage a warehouse...
However, these are not things Ye Kai needs to think about right now.
He was more curious about another place.
That is, the cave of no return right in front of us.
According to locals, once you enter this place, it's almost impossible to come out.
Having played the game, Ye Kai knew what was hidden here.
She is an extremely wealthy young lady.
After rescuing her, you can meet her at a resort in the nearby sea area.
Back in the day, this was one of the only ways to obtain "Deluxe Balls" in the FireRed and LeafGreen version.
Ye Kai once used a Luxurious Ball to catch a Young Giras with a unique color flash.
Then practice until level 50, and learn the earthquake skill.
Then, it leveled up to 55 in one go, evolved continuously, and became a Tyranitar!!
Back then, he knew this route so well that he could recite it from memory...
But now it seems he almost got trapped here and died.
Inside a pitch-black stone chamber.
Ye Kai repeatedly passed through several spaces.
Each different area was exactly the same, extremely similar to the stone chamber at the Farewell Spring where Giratina was located.
The only difference is that there won't be any puzzles involving passing through three stone pillars here.
Instead, they were replaced with different numbers of boulders.
Ye Kai also tried to break these boulders, but still couldn't solve the puzzle.
The stone chamber continues to circulate.
But he had already vaguely sensed the presence of a treasure master here...
That person must be the young lady...
After patiently breaking up the arrangement of various stones.
I understand!
The puzzle can only be solved by following the sequence 12, 11, 10... and finally breaking one stone in the stone chamber!
"Boom!!!!"
At this moment, the alternate dimension within the Cave of No Return trembled violently, as if in response to Ye Kai solving the puzzle!
The surroundings slowly brightened from complete darkness.
A young woman who had fainted from hunger lay on the ground.
She wore a light blue dress and a white hat, her pink-gold hair as smooth and lustrous as the finest satin ribbon…
While Ye Kai finally solved the mystery, new questions arose.
He went through so much trouble to get in here, so this woman couldn't have just wandered in by chance, could she?!
Who would believe that?!
“VV Hmm~”
Then he saw an unexpected yet expected elf appear beside her.
It was a snow-white little hedgehog covered in brightly colored flowers and plants.
Shaymi?
If they were trapped, then using Seed Flash would make sense.
When Xie Mi saw Ye Kai approaching the young lady, she quickly stepped forward and grinned.
In Ye Kai's view, this was no different from acting cute.
[I was just a passerby who happened to be there, and I happened to be helping you out...]
……
"Thank you so much for bringing me out of that cave of no return."
The woman repeatedly thanked Ye Kai.
Looking at the sprawling villas and estates of the luxury resort area...
At this moment, the sofa and chairs they are sitting on are probably worth a fortune!
However, this amount of wealth was barely enough for Ye Kai, who had once ruled other planes.
They're just a middle-class family.
"I am an adventurer who travels all over the world. I have long heard of the legend of the cave and wanted to come and challenge it."
"Saving the young lady was purely by chance; it was something I did on the spur of the moment."
Ye Kai spoke modestly, but in reality, it took him at least three hours to solve the puzzle.
These kinds of underworld puzzles are sometimes easy to solve, but more often than not, you'll be trapped inside and never be able to unravel them in your lifetime.
After all, there are quite a few good things in the Cave of No Return.
However, those are all things left behind by those who were trapped and died there.
You can occasionally see the skeletons of elves and humans inside.
The moment this young lady saw Ye Kai, her eyes lit up.
If it weren't for this benefactor rescuing her, she would probably have faced certain death.
She had been trapped in that cave for more than seven days, and she hadn't even brought her spatial backpack with her...
When Ye Kai found her, she had already fainted from hunger.
If it weren't for Bao Ren's strong physique, an ordinary human would probably have starved to death.
"I don't even know your name?"
"My benefactor, my little girl Qiu Sui."
"Hmm, so Akiho, why did you enter the Cave of No Return?"
It's not exactly a secret that can't be told.
The Rockets attempted to kidnap her and demand a huge ransom.
The incident happened suddenly. She only had two level 50+ cat bosses and an unknown Pokémon given to her by her father, which was Shaymin.
With this lineup, she's definitely a match for Team Rocket's wolf-like operators.
Seeing that her opponent was about to succeed, she made a sudden, decisive move and plunged headlong into the cave of no return.
That's better than falling into the clutches of the Rockets.
It turned out to be the case.
"Since you're alright, Miss, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now..."
"My benefactor, don't rush off!"
"I think……"
What are you thinking...?
The woman parted her lips slightly; she was 19 years old, neither too young nor too old in the Pokémon world.
Ye Yao gently slapped Qiu Sui's plump buttocks.
[Hey, don't you dare try anything with my dad!]
The sudden appearance of Ye Yao startled the young lady.
She didn't even realize it.
"Who are you? How did you get in?!"
"Mr. Zhang, you...you have a daughter? And she's already so big?!"
[As you can see, that's how it is. Now I'm leaving.]
It would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it, because Qiu Sui got all worked up about it.
So what if we have it?!
This only proves that the handsome man in front of you is exceptional, and that women all have the same taste.
She had a premonition that if she missed this benefactor, she would never meet him again in her life.
Thinking of this, she mustered her courage and hugged Ye Kai tightly.
The soft, water-balloon-like texture pressed firmly against Ye Kai's back.
[My benefactor, please don't go!]
