The Necessary Elements for Larvitar is About to Arrive

Aoki directly took out the communicator and dialed the number of the Kaitou.

Tell her that he has already completed the task of Scolipede, and they don't need to waste time on this task.

The Kaitou who got the result was very happy.

Before Aoki hung up the phone with her, she allowed Aoki to send the Pokeball back.

After the hunting group was established, the Kaitou went to buy some basic configuration items, the most important of which was the Pokeball transmitter that could be carried with them.

This thing is still relatively common in the Pokémon world.

After all, most League Trainers are required to carry only six Pokémon at a time, so almost everyone carries a Pokémon teleportation device.

For the establishment of a hunting group, this kind of equipment is, of course, necessary.

Otherwise, is it possible to send a person with a big snakeskin bag to carry all the Pokeballs on his back every time he goes hunting?

It's not impossible to do this, but if you encounter the League Police or the Rangers in the Pokémon world, it will be more troublesome.

Anyway, there are special personnel staying behind, who will be responsible for the management of the returned Pokeballs.

Aoki took out the Pokémon teleportation device that he had never used before and sent the Scolipede's Pokeball to the Kaitou.

Completing the task earlier would lead to a higher evaluation of task completion.

When the Kaitou saw the Scolipede sent by Aoki, she hung up the phone in satisfaction.

As for whose identity the hunter of the Scolipede ends up with, it is not very important to Aoki. Now that the hunting group has been established, the Kaitou has become a part-time worker for him. If she wants it, then give it to her.

Just when Aoki put away the communicator, the most concealed communicator on his body suddenly vibrated.

Aoki's expression turned serious.

This was Shadow's communicator. The last time it vibrated, Aoki had gone to see the boss of Team Rocket, Sakagi.

He just didn't know what the contact was about this time.

He took it out and pressed the answer button.

"Master Shadow." Aoki called out respectfully.

An unwavering voice came from inside. "Aoki, where are you now? Are you still training in the forest?"

Aoki looked around and said, "I'm currently practicing in a forest. I don't know the exact location, but it should be in the deep mountains between Verdanturf Town and Petalburg City."

"..."

Hearing Aoki's words, Shadow was silent for a moment. The forest between Verdanturf Town and Petalburg City was quite large.

"Then where are you going next? You won't stay in the forest for ten days or half a month, will you?"

"Uh, I should arrive in Verdanturf Town in a few days to get some things." Aoki answered honestly.

"Alright. I'll send someone to deliver the supplies you won in the last trial, as well as the three catalysts you bought from me. Meet in the forest outside Verdanturf Town." Shadow instructed.

The catalyst could not be transmitted directly through the teleportation device. Aoki had personally gone to Team Rocket's research base at the Lake of Rage to help Shadow get it.

Hearing Shadow's words, Aoki felt a little joy. After waiting for so long, the supplies were finally coming.

The most important thing was the catalyst!

Was Larvitar about to hatch?!

"I need some things now. Can I exchange these materials?" Aoki asked.

Shadow was silent for a moment before replying, "Yes."

Although exchanging resources at this time might be troublesome, even Sakagi had taken an interest in Aoki. If Aoki's request wasn't too excessive, it would be granted.

Let's see how far he could go in Hoenn. If he could truly become as strong as Sabrina and Koga, Team Rocket would support him—it would be an early investment.

"Then I would like to exchange for a Razor Claw, a portion of Black Sludge, and convert the remaining resources into Pokecoins." Aoki said after thinking for a while.

This was what he found most useful at the moment. As for the rest, he would convert everything into Pokecoins. If he needed something in the future, he could buy it himself—or ask his friends to find it for him.

Hearing Aoki's request, Shadow narrowed his eyes behind the communicator.

The practical value of these two items was significant, especially the Razor Claw and Black Sludge, which were highly sought after in Team Rocket.

But these two items were rare. Even within Team Rocket, there was limited inventory. Many members wanted to exchange for them, but despite having points, they had no means to acquire them.

Aoki had asked Steven to help find a King's Rock and a Razor Claw.

He had received the King's Rock last time, but there had been no news about the Razor Claw—showing how rare it was.

It wasn't that its effect was immense, but rare items were always expensive.

Compared to the Razor Claw, Black Sludge had higher practical value and was more costly.

"Yes, but this will leave you with very few supplies left." Shadow said lightly.

Aoki had already spent half of his materials to obtain the three catalysts. Using the rest for a Razor Claw and Black Sludge would mean consuming almost everything.

"That's fine. These two items are enough." Aoki was optimistic. If Team Rocket could provide him with these two things, it would be a great deal.

Even if it meant spending all his remaining resources, Aoki was willing.

The first priority was the Razor Claw. For other Pokémon, it could improve their chances of landing critical hits.

For example, Pokémon with the Sniper ability, like Skorupi, would benefit from the Razor Claw. Even if the boost wasn't major, landing a few critical hits could cause a drastic increase in damage output.

But for Aoki, even with a Pokémon like Skorupi, the Razor Claw's main purpose was different.

Sneasel needed to hold a Razor Claw and level up at night to evolve into Weavile, making a significant leap in both strength and potential.

Aoki had planned to get this item long ago, but it was difficult to find on his own. Even when he asked Steven, the other party couldn't acquire it immediately, and Aoki couldn't force the issue.

Now that Team Rocket could provide it directly, it was a great opportunity.

Sneasel had always been part of Aoki's team but often seemed withdrawn.

Recently, training together had strengthened the bond between Aoki and his Pokémon.

Aoki decided that he should continue such activities in the future—not only to improve their strength but also to enhance their teamwork and trust.
