"Please wait a moment!"
Just before Kashiwagi was about to make a move, Uraha stood up and called a halt.
He said in a deep voice, "I don't know when we offended you. May I ask who you are?"
They claim to be visitors from a parallel world, but the first thing they do is look at the Rust Group's ledgers.
Wu Yu strongly suspected that the other party had concealed their origins.
Is it possible that the prosecutors of the Carlos Alliance are finally going to take action against Miare City and prepare to purge all the organizations in the city?
Wu Yu's breathing became slightly labored.
Because the reconstruction of Carlos City was handed over to the Kuoxing Company, Miare City was in a semi-unmanaged state. Overall, there was no need to worry about public security, but there were always some strange and miscellaneous things happening.
Their Rusting Group was responsible for maintaining order and stability in the lower strata of Miarei behind the scenes.
Of course, Wu Yu also knew that if the Rust Group failed to go ashore, they would be liquidated sooner or later. After all, they mainly made profits from gray industries such as lending. Although they seemed to be skirting the law, they would definitely not escape if investigated in depth.
His current goal is to get ashore as soon as possible, but he never expected the other party to come so quickly.
"My name is Kashiwagi."
As Kashiwagi spoke with a smile, azure flames surged between the sharp teeth of the three-headed dragon beside him, like cannons poised to fire.
An invisible pressure descended upon the entire hall, making the members of the rust team breathe heavily.
They couldn't resist releasing their Pokémon, but then they all looked at their leader, waiting for him to give the order.
"..."
Hearing this ambiguous answer, Wu Yu asked angrily and confusedly, "Is there really no way to discuss this?"
Upon hearing this, Kashiwagi sighed slightly, "Alright, it's true that we should make things clear so I don't look like a bad guy."
He asked, "Did you guys borrow money from Super Z team at exorbitant interest rates?"
"It's actually just a normal lending relationship."
Wu Yu recalled the scene of Kashiwagi leaving with Super Z Team and instantly understood everything. Her anger immediately turned into panic. "Tani borrowed money from me for publicity. Wouldn't it be better to charge some interest? Besides, I waived the interest for them in the end..."
From him, Kashiwagi learned more detailed information about the loan agreement.
Basically, the Rust team added a small clause to the contract with Super Z team, saddled them with a large amount of debt, with the aim of outsourcing Super Z team's work and absorbing this small team at the same time.
However, Shengcai's growth rate exceeded his expectations, leading to the failure of his recruitment efforts.
After the defeat, he used the excuse of room fees and tips to make Team Super Z repay the loan.
"Ah~"
Kashiwagi suddenly realized, and seeing that Ue was about to relax, he laughed and said, "So you're still threatening a few kids under the guise of loan sharking, right?"
Wu Yu remained silent.
The chubby Gypsy next to him could no longer hold back and said coldly, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Kashiwagi: "I'll kill you all."
As soon as the words fell, the intense pressure transformed into a chilling aura that stopped their hearts from beating. Their vision gradually blurred, as if they had transformed from humans into some indescribable thing.
Before they could even adjust, the dragon flames that had been building up in the three-headed dragon's mouth were immediately released toward the ceiling!
"Sigh!!"
Boom!!
Amidst a terrifying roar, the entire Rust Group office was blasted apart by a burst of intense blue flames.
The deafening explosions echoed through the city of Miare, and shattered ceilings rained down, throwing all the Rust team members into a panic.
Uyu immediately pulled out a Poké Ball, but suddenly felt a strong sense of numbness throughout his body, as did Gypsy next door.
Damn it!
He cursed under his breath, an unprecedented sense of fear welling up inside him. The blurry figure of the cypress tree in the distance seemed to transform into a humanoid beast.
Is the rust group going to end today?
Suddenly, Gypsy's strained words urging him to run rang in his ears, but Wu Yu was already powerless to resist.
"Hehehehe—"
With a sinister scream, the two of them suddenly lost consciousness.
After taking down the leader of the rust group, Kashiwagi began to deal with the other underlings.
A few Pokémon were released, but unfortunately they couldn't pose any threat to him, and he couldn't even get close to them.
A few seconds later.
The Rust Group office fell completely silent, with no noise except for Kashiwagi and his Pokémon.
He looked at the people lying on the ground and pondered, "Was the power insufficient?"
Just now, he used the Evil Face Stone Tablet to create a terrifying aura. At first, it was quite effective, and Wu Yu and his group clearly dared not move. However, once the three-headed dragons started fighting, some of them broke free from the [Cowardly] state.
"So what are you going to do with them?"
Multiple phones flew to his side to ask him questions.
Miare City doesn't even have Officer Jenny right now. Are we supposed to fly to a city in the south and hand them over there?
Kashiwagi replied, "Let's look at the ledgers first and see how much illegal income they've made."
He remembered that these guys were also in the previous 3D projection, and that they were members who dealt with the rampaging Mega Pokémon, so he had a vague premonition.
This rusted group might be similar to the Shout Team and the Star Team.
It belongs to the kind of pseudo-evil organization that is bad but not thoroughly evil.
Sure enough, after investigating with multiple mobile phones, he discovered that this so-called rust group belonged to a gray market organization.
Lending money, running arcades, gambling dens, and charging street vendors cleaning fees are all shady dealings.
It looks a bit like the Quicksand team, but the difference is that the Rust team is skirting the edge of the law. You could say they're breaking the law, but their interest rates are just barely on the edge; you could say they're not breaking the law, but they are indeed doing something not very good.
What made Bai Mu frown was that the rust group also frequently did things to maintain community stability.
It is clear that they have taken over the lower-level neighborhoods of Miare.
"What exactly is Kuoxing Company doing?"
Kashiwagi didn't quite understand the company's thinking.
The city of Miare has been taken over by the Rust Group for urban redevelopment projects, so how could it still be controlled by the Rust Group and its civilian forces?
Multi-Cell Phone said, "They're having a tough time too; it seems like a lot of people in Miare don't agree with their approach."
The Cosmos Corporation is committed to allowing wild Pokémon and humans to coexist, but the native residents of Lumiose City don't want to do that.
They do not want to see their homeland taken over by wild Pokémon.
In addition, it is not uncommon for wild Pokémon to break out of the Wild Zone and wander into the streets.
In addition to the recent out-of-control Mega Pokémon, several organizations opposing The Star Company have been formed within Luna City.
Among them are the Miare Guardians Association and the Justice Society.
The former had previously surrounded the president of Kuoxing Company, causing quite a stir.
"What a complicated city."
Kashiwagi shook his head. "Ore is simpler."
Multi-sided phone: "..."
It actually wanted to say that Orei was no simple man either, but these kinds of miscellaneous matters were always handled by Yamaminori, while you were just a hands-off manager.
But in the end, he didn't say it.
After all, trainers also make contributions.
It was precisely because of his strength that he became Yamaminori's backing, enabling him to turn the Orei Alliance into a one-man show.
Without Kashiwagi's help, it would have been difficult for Minoru Yamazaki to quell the complex internal situation within Orei, even in the Pokémon anime world, where ideological conflicts also exist.
"So what are your plans to do with them now?" the multi-sided phone asked.
Kashiwagi didn't answer, but just sighed, "If only the Rust Team were similar to Team Rocket."
When faced with a difficult question, they fall silent.
Multi-faceted complaints about mobile phones.
A short while later.
Wu Yu and the others slowly woke up. They looked around nervously, only to find that the office had been turned upside down.
The ceiling that had been above them was gone, leaving only the boundless starry sky.
"hateful--"
"What's so terrible?"
Before Wu Yu could even utter a curse through gritted teeth, a voice suddenly came from ahead, making his body stiffen.
He looked up and saw Cypress sitting in his seat.
"...What exactly do you want?" Wu Yu said in grief and indignation.
Kashiwagi smiled and replied, "What do you think I should do with you?"
"..."
This guy!
Wu Yu nearly coughed up blood.
They inexplicably came over and beat them up, and now they're asking them what to do about themselves.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Wu Yu staggered to his feet and said in a deep voice, "I want to have a Pokémon battle with you! If I lose, the Rust Team can do whatever they want with me!"
"Oh? You're negotiating with me?" Kashiwagi laughed.
Wu Yu shook his head and said, "No, I just want to die knowing why!"
He knew that the other party's murderous aura was genuine; it was clearly the result of someone who had stained their hands with blood.
As a street kid who grew up in the streets of Miare and was raised with the help of Vladali, he actually knew very well who he could mess with and who he couldn't.
He never expected that one day a "madman" would come knocking on his door.
Bai Mu tilted his head and considered it for a moment.
"Hmm...that's fine too."
He stood up and looked at the others beside Wu Yu. "It seems that you're not the only one who's not convinced, but the other members of your Rust Group as well. How about this, all of you come at me together, and call all the other underlings over as well."
After learning about Shinmiare City, Kashiwagi discovered that the battles there were not "formal".
They are more like wild battles, where trainers don't have fixed positions and can run around freely with their Pokémon.
Since that's the case, it won't stop Kashiwagi from wiping them all out in one fell swoop.
Upon hearing this, the rust team's underlings immediately became more confident, believing that sheer numbers would be enough to defeat the person in front of them.
Wu Yu's expression was grim. He secretly exchanged a glance with Gypsy, who then understood and informed one of his underlings behind him.
-
The area outside the Rust Group's office has become a battlefield.
In New Miare City, the Kuostar Corporation renovated the streets and established a battle zone.
Holographic imaging and protective barrier technology allow people to freely engage in combat anywhere without worrying about damaging buildings.
As a result, a nighttime event called ZA Summit Battle was created within the city of Miare.
The levels of the summit battle are represented by thirteen letters of the English alphabet, from the lowest Z to U, and then from G to A.
Almost every member of the Rust Team is an expert in summit climbing.
The eldest brother, Wu Yu, is the gatekeeper of the peak D-level in the Ascension Battle. Only by defeating him can one advance to C-level.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he's two levels away from A-rank; there are actually very few trainers above him.
Therefore, Wu Yu had a certain degree of confidence in his own strength.
—If the opponent is a normal trainer.
Inside the street, countless Pokémon lay sprawled on the ground, all of them Steel and Poison type Pokémon.
Their trainers were also in a bad mood, helplessly hiding in a corner.
The culprit behind all this was a giant Steelix that, when it stood up, was several stories tall.
Compared to the Gypsy's Steel Serpent, it's like an adult and a baby.
"The Centipede King..."
Wu Yu swallowed hard.
Beside him was his partner, the Super Centipede King, a magnificent creature with exceptionally potent venom and an appearance resembling a heavily armored figure.
"Your Pokémon is good."
"It's Kashiwagi standing on top of the giant Steel Serpent's head," he said.
Wu Yu's expression turned grim, and he had no choice but to reply, "Thank you..."
"So hurry up and attack, I can't wait any longer." Kashiwagi waved to him.
This guy had been stunned for a minute ever since he defeated Wu Yu's underlings.
Is this something so hard to understand?
Kashiwagi thought to himself that he had clearly released his Pokémon during the battle with Oni, so why did Ubu still think he could beat him?
Who gave you the courage?
Although this giant centipede king is indeed quite handsome.
After seeing so many new super evolutions, Kashiwagi discovered that Centipede King was actually one of the coolest ones.
It was somewhat of a blow to him.
So GF doesn't lack aesthetic sense at all; it's just that the illustrators who designed it were incompetent!
"Centipede King! Earthquake!"
Wu Yu finally gave the order.
Gypsy, who had shared his hardships, spoke up at the same time, "Go straight for the drill!"
"Gah!"
The golden Skarmory instantly transformed into a spiral drill and charged towards the giant Steelix.
The Super Centipede King stomped its feet on the ground, releasing a wide-ranging shockwave forward.
Kashiwa smiled and said, "Electromagnetic levitation, heavy impact."
"唝!"
Amidst the incredulous gazes of the other side, Mega Steelix hovered, dodging the shockwave, and faced Mega Skarmory's drill.
When the latter realized that it could not penetrate its opponent at all and hurriedly retreated, the Super Steelix had already transformed into a high-speed train and heavily slammed into it and the Super Centipede King!
Ouch!
The violent impact swept through the street, even throwing Wu Yu and Gypsy off their feet.
They fell to the ground, and the intense pain prevented them from getting up again.
"It seems to be over?"
Kashiwagi looked at the two men and asked, "Still want to fight?"
no respond.
Just as he jumped down from the top of the giant Steel Serpent's head, Tani and the others suddenly arrived.
They saw the Rust Group members lying all over the ground, then looked at Wu Yu and Gypsy, and gasped.
"Are we having another summit battle tonight? Isn't that going to be too exciting?" Dailuo couldn't help but ask.
Piru looked at her helplessly and pointed to the office whose roof had been blasted through. "Do you think it looks like it?"
“Uh…” Dailuo fell silent.
Tani rushed to Bai Mu's side and asked awkwardly, "W-what are you doing?"
Kashiwagi glanced at her and Isamu, "You're just looking for trouble with criminals because you have nothing better to do."
Tani: "..."
Wu Yu: "..."
That's definitely a lot of free time!
Shengcai said, "The matter of Tani borrowing money is over."
She learned from the members of the rust team who came to ask for help why Kashiwagi had come.
Tani also said, "Yes, yes, please let them go. The Rust Group helped us today, and we've settled the previous issues."
Kashiwa looked at them strangely and patted their heads lightly. "I understand what you're thinking, but you also need to know that you have to pay the price for doing wrong."
The approaching Wu Yu stopped a few meters away. Upon hearing his words, he knelt down, took off his clothes, and assumed a posture as if about to commit seppuku. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Rust Group has been defeated. Do with me as you please!"
The chubby Gypsy also knelt down, saying, "As you wish!"
