Chapter 142 — Deal with Team Rocket and Mew's Whereabouts

"Hehe~ My apologies, I meant no disrespect. There were simply too many people around Mr. Sun, and I couldn't find the right moment to speak."

A sharp, eunuch-like voice rang out as a ghostly figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the small path, revealing their true form in the moonlight.

One of Team Rocket's Three Beasts, Sachi!

"Team Rocket, huh? Coming to Kanto, it's impossible to avoid you folks."

Sun Wuming showed an "as expected" expression.

Sachi's face showed slight surprise - after all, they weren't wearing a Team Rocket uniform but casual clothes, yet their identity had still been recognized.

Could they be that famous?

No, they weren't like Chacra, that brute who only knew how to fight head-on.

However, Sachi quickly pushed these doubts aside and bowed respectfully to Sun Wuming.

"Since Mr. Sun knows my identity, I'll get straight to the point."

"I am Sachi, a member of Team Rocket. Under our leader's orders, I've come to request a trade with you."

Hearing this, Sun Wuming raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

Seeing no signs of disgust or anger on Sun Wuming's face,

Sachi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and got straight to the point:

"Mr. Sun, our leader is very interested in those Senzu Beans you possess, which have the power to restore life."

"I see."

Sun Wuming's lips curled into a slight smile. "And? What can you offer me?"

Sachi opened their mouth slightly, pondering for a moment before asking:

"What would Mr. Sun like?"

"Well... let me think."

Sun Wuming scratched his chin, truly resembling a monkey.

"How about... Mew and a Legendary Water-type?"

Five seconds later, Sun Wuming said with a smile.

Mew was for Sun Wuming himself.

The Legendary Water-type was for Luluna.

After all, that girl had come up empty-handed in Alola, and she always looked envious watching Serena and the others train their Ultra Beasts - it was quite pitiful.

"That's quite a steep demand..."

Hearing Sun Wuming's conditions, Sachi couldn't help but inwardly bite their tongue.

But thinking about how the "Senzu Bean" was an item that could restore life, they felt he did have the right to make such demands.

"Please allow me to consult with our leader about this matter."

After a brief silence, Sachi replied.

This was too big a decision for them to make alone.

Sun Wuming waved his hand, indicating they should proceed.

Sachi quickly pressed the communication device on their ear.

Walking to the roadside to contact Giovanni.

Their conversation didn't take long.

After about five minutes, Sachi returned to Sun Wuming and said:

"Mr. Sun, Team Rocket cannot directly provide you with Mew itself, we can only offer information about Mew."

"...That's fine, I wasn't expecting you to actually bring me Mew anyway."

Sun Wuming calmly replied.

"As for the Legendary Water-type, we currently don't have any information, but once we find one, we can notify you immediately. Consider it a small debt - would you agree to these terms?"

Sachi asked again.

Faced with this question, Sun Wuming remained silent for about two or three seconds, but still agreed.

Then, Sun Wuming reached into his pocket and tossed something to Sachi.

Sachi instinctively caught it, finding three unremarkable beans lying quietly in their palm.

"You're surprisingly quick to agree. Aren't you afraid Team Rocket will take the items and break our promise?"

Sachi couldn't help but tease.

Their tone was quite sarcastic, and within Team Rocket, Sachi was known for being passive-aggressive.

Fellow Beast Chacra had often been on the receiving end of their sarcasm.

"If that happens, it's simple - I'll consider Team Rocket my enemy."

Sun Wuming said with a smile.

At these words, Sachi couldn't smile anymore.

For some reason, they sensed deadly danger in Sun Wuming's smile.

This was something they had never felt even when facing Elite Four members or Champions.

"...Mew's dwelling place is in the Tree of Beginning, located in the mountains north of Pewter City and Mt. Moon. Team Rocket tried to reach it before but failed."

After about half a minute, as Sachi's emotions settled, they answered:

"However, Mew is a mischievous Pokémon, like a naughty child, who likes to wander all over the world. It's hard to say exactly when it will return home."

"The Tree of Beginning?"

Sun Wuming pondered.

Oh right, he remembered, this was mentioned in the movie.

Though he had forgotten the exact location.

"Once we have news about the Legendary Water-type, I will notify you immediately. May I have your contact information?"

Sachi asked again.

"Oh, that's no problem."

Sun Wuming smiled, then showed a playful expression, "I'll give you three months. If you can't give me an answer within three months... I don't know what I might do."

"Uh... understood."

A large drop of cold sweat rolled down Sachi's face.

If anyone else had said this, even if it were Lance, Sachi wouldn't have taken it seriously.

But with this man... for some reason, Sachi inexplicably felt they couldn't doubt his words.

He really could do it!

...

...

In the early hours of the morning, Sachi rushed back to Team Rocket's secret base beneath the Viridian Gym in Viridian City.

Upon entering Giovanni's office,

Sachi found the four Team Rocket Generals - Apollo, Athena, Lance, and Lambda - already gathered there.

"Good work, Sachi."

Giovanni nodded to his subordinate, then continued:

"It's been confirmed that the League is planning a raid on Team Rocket. We're now discussing whether to have the Three Executives participate in the battle."

The Three Executives referred to Koga, Lt. Surge, and Sabrina.

All three were Kanto League Gym Leaders, or rather, had been.

Because two years ago, Koga had already transferred his position as Fuchsia City Gym Leader to his daughter Janine and taken a position as one of Johto's Elite Four.

It had to be said, if this truth were revealed, it would shock the entire Pokémon continent.

What troubled Giovanni now was whether to have the Three Executives participate in this operation.

If they did, their identities would surely be exposed, and then he would no longer have any moles within the League.

"Sir Giovanni, haven't you already decided to move headquarters to Johto? And unless something unexpected happens, all four Kanto Elite Four members will be participating in this battle. If we don't show some real strength, we might not make it through this time."

Sachi offered their opinion.

Their meaning was clear—

Let the Three Executives fight!

Hearing Sachi say this, Giovanni also found it quite reasonable and nodded slightly.

"By the way, did you get the items?"

Giovanni asked again.

"Of course."

Sachi bowed and handed the three Senzu Beans to Giovanni.

"So these are the beans that can bring people back to life? They don't look very special."

Lambda said curiously.

"Shut up! Sir Giovanni's illness might be cured by these."

Apollo scolded.
