Kojiro asked with some confusion, "Speaking of which, what does the Hypno have to do with the boss's insomnia?"
Meowth clicked its tongue and replied, "Are you stupid, Meowth? Think about it, if Sakaki really has insomnia, wouldn't he feel awful?"
"Then we'll bring this Pokémon over, and with its help, the boss will be able to sleep soundly every night, just like a baby."
"When he wakes up the next morning, the boss will feel refreshed. Do you know what he'll say then, Meowth?"
Musashi and Kojiro exchanged glances, both shaking their heads. Meowth then continued, "The boss will say, 'I slept too well yesterday, Meowth! I must immediately promote Meowth and the others who caught so many Pokémon. Let them become executives right away, appoint them as department heads, Meowth!'"
Hearing Meowth say this, the two also became excited: "To think that catching this Pokémon could make the boss value us so much, getting promoted to executive and becoming a department head, what a great feeling (Meowth)!"
Xiao Zhi and the two (plus one soul): ...
Li Qingfeng rubbed his forehead, surprised to hear the Team Rocket Trio say such things. It seemed their ambitions were quite strong: 'This thing... it's truly the Team Rocket Trio's traditional skill.'
"Musashi, Kojiro, look, Meowth! The Hypnosis Wave Detector is reacting, Meowth!" Meowth's voice came.
Xiao Zhi and the two heard this, nodded simultaneously, and then took out their respective poké balls. Brock released Geodude and whispered, "Geodude, break this door open."
Geodude stood in front of the iron door, carefully observing the rusty marks on it. It gently touched a dent on the door with its finger, seemingly searching for the best Tackle point.
Then, Geodude gathered all its strength, its entire body springing back like a coiled spring. Then, it charged towards the iron door with astonishing speed, arms spread, fists aimed at the dent, and struck violently.
The iron door let out a loud bang, the sound of metal colliding echoing through the hall, as if the entire space trembled. The iron door creaked, and as the force of the impact increased, the rusted parts began to crumble, breaking apart to both sides.
"Pallet (Cerulean) Security, open the door!"
As Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia finished speaking, they simultaneously released their Pokémon. Two Squirtle appeared on the field, glaring at the Team Rocket Trio.
Kojiro quickly hid the device behind him; it wouldn't be good if this thing was discovered: "Ho-how did you get in?"
Musashi shouted indignantly, "I'll tell you, I'll sue you for trespassing, believe it or not!"
Ekans and Koffing also emerged from their poké balls at this moment. They stood in front of Musashi and Kojiro, trying to protect them.
"This isn't your home, so where's the trespassing?"
Xiao Xia retorted, then continued, "Team Rocket, are you trying to steal other people's Pokémon again? Do you want me to go find Officer Jenny in Yu Hong City?"
Kojiro heard Xiao Xia threaten to find Officer Jenny and waved his hands, "Nothing of the sort, nothing of the sort. We are all law-abiding citizens, how could we possibly do such a thing, right?"
Xiao Zhi looked at them with disbelief, wondering how to make the Team Rocket Trio obediently hand over the item.
Suddenly, a lightbulb went off in his head, and he said to Kojiro, "Team Rocket, you don't want to end up in jail drinking tea, causing your boss to spend money to bail you out, do you?"
Team Rocket Trio: ?
"Little brat, little girl, what do you want?" Musashi took a step back, her subconscious telling her that Xiao Zhi and his group wanted to attack them.
Xiao Zhi stood with his hands on his hips, looking righteous:
"I heard everything. You have a device that can detect Hypnosis Waves. This device is very useful. If you want to make amends, help us find the source of the Hypnosis Waves."
The Team Rocket Trio looked at each other, somewhat confused as to why Xiao Zhi would do this.
Xiao Zhi also told them about the Pokémon becoming mentally unstable and the many children who had gone missing. Kojiro nodded gently: "So that's how it is..."
He pulled Musashi and Meowth into a corner and asked for their opinions.
"These children are a bit pitiful..."
"That's right, even though we're not good people, children are innocent, Meowth."
"Mmm-hmm."
...
...
"Alright, then we'll split into two groups. I, the Little brat, and Meowth will go together to find the source of the Hypnosis Waves. Musashi and the little girl will go find the missing children, how about that?"
After an intense discussion, Kojiro decided to split into two groups with this team composition. Xiao Zhi and Brock were indifferent to such a distribution.
Boys in one team, girls in another. Hmm, reasonable and logical.
"Then, we'll meet back here later."
Before leaving, everyone agreed on a meeting point to avoid finding their respective targets only to not know where the others had gone.
Kojiro held the device, constantly focusing it, trying to find where the Hypnosis Waves were most accurate. This action reminded Li Qingfeng of a game he used to play called The Legend of Zelda, which had a function to find shrines.
Whenever he got close to a shrine, the sensor would make a sound. It was very similar to the device in Kojiro's hand now.
Kojiro looked at the message from the device and kept sighing: "So troublesome, where exactly are these Hypnosis Waves coming from?"
"Let me see, Meowth." Meowth tugged at Kojiro's pant leg, asking him to hand over the device.
Seeing this, Kojiro also handed the device back to Meowth, wanting to see how he would find the Hypnosis Waves.
"Oh~ So that's how it is, Meowth."
Meowth nodded, then began to lead the way for everyone. This was something he had made, and he knew all its functions inside and out.
Xiao Zhi quickly asked, "Meowth, did you find anything?"
They needed to find that Hypno as soon as possible so that the children could be saved.
"Just follow me and you'll know, Meowth." Meowth held the device and quickly walked towards a building. The three hurried behind Meowth, wanting to see where that place was.
Soon, they arrived at their destination. Looking at the tall building in front of them, Xiao Zhi and Brock were dumbfounded. This was much taller than Yuhong Building. They never expected a Pokémon that hypnotized children to be hidden here.
Cough cough, if this were Gardevoir, it would be unbroadcastable (not really)
