"Damn it, you came here without even saying hello." Nanfu said hurriedly while putting on his pants. Because he was too anxious, his hand shook when he pulled down the zipper of his pants and he accidentally caught the poor fleshworm, and he immediately screamed
A scream: "Ah..."
"Where is Nanfu? Where did he go?" Du Chen asked after entering the base.
"Oh, Chief Nanfu is doing research in the command room. He has sent someone over. Please wait a moment." said the Rocket team member who received Apollo on the tarmac.
"Ha, research work?" Du Chen sneered.
According to Apollo's impression of him, this is not a person who loves his work.
As a member of Team Rocket who was born in the Orange Islands, Nanfu was used to being lazy and addicted to pleasure like the locals. It was only because he had always been loyal to Apollo that he was appointed as the person in charge here.
"Master Apollo, why are you here so suddenly? Let me tell you in advance so that I can be prepared to welcome you." Nanfu quickly trotted up to Apollo and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Facing Apollo who suddenly appeared here without saying hello, Nanfu felt a tremor in his heart.
Although he was promoted by Apollo, based on his understanding of Apollo, if he really brought any trouble into the hands of this strict boss, he would be punished without mercy...
"Go and gather everyone in the base, I have something to say." Du Chen said to Nan Fu.
"Everyone?" Without any hesitation on Nanfu's tanned face, he immediately issued an order, notifying everyone to gather and get ready to listen to the superior's instructions.
It seemed that the execution ability of the members of this base was pretty good, and they all quickly gathered in the base hall.
"Sir, except for 11 people who are out on missions, all the other 63 people at Nanliu Island Base are here." Nanfu reported loudly.
"Okay." Du Chen walked up to everyone present and looked at the Rockets players with different expressions below.
"Everyone here must know me. I came here today to announce something to you." Du Chen said, looking around.
Under the prestige, everyone who was swept by Du Chen's eyes could not help but dodge a little.
After all, in Team Rocket, most of the lower-level members do not know the true identity of the supreme leader. Compared to the mysterious Sakaki, the four generals are more prestigious.
"I got information that there is a crystal rock snake near Ponkan Island. This special elf is very helpful for our Rockets to study Pokémon." Du Chen said while paying attention to the expressions of the people below: "I want you to go out.
Go and capture it."
"Crystal rock snake?"
The Rockets players below began to whisper, and it was obvious that they were no strangers to this name.
"Master Apollo, I wonder where you got this information?" Nanfu hesitated and asked softly.
Where did you get the information?
Of course it's from the cartoon...
Du Chen complained in his heart, but asked: "Where is the source of the information? Is it important?"
Nanfu was a little embarrassed. As a native of the Orange Islands, he naturally knew the legend of the crystal rock snake, but he had never taken it seriously.
In his opinion, it was just a gimmick used by the glass-selling islanders on Ponkan Island to attract tourists to shop. It is a special tourist attraction, so what can it do without a story...
It seems that Master Apollo has stayed on the mainland for too long and is not very familiar with the routines on the island.
Every year, after hearing this story, many silly trainers come to look for the crystal rock snake as if they have found a treasure. As a result, they become dizzy and are deceived into buying a lot of glass decorations.
Nanfu smacked his lips, secretly thinking about how to express it tactfully so that Lord Apollo would not feel too embarrassed...
"This is the mission. Within three days, I want to see this elf. Whoever can capture it will be promoted to two levels." After Du Chen finished speaking, he ignored the whispers below and turned around to walk towards the command room.
"Promoted to two levels? Such a high reward?"
"Hey, don't think about it. I am from Ponkan Island, and the Crystal Rock Snake is just made up to fool people..."
"Really? Then why did Master Apollo assign this task?"
"Maybe he was cheated."
"What? Being deceived? Are you questioning Lord Apollo's IQ?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, I didn't..."
Although the Rockets are an illegal organization, their internal staff are treated very well.
As a dark and evil force, naturally no one will pay attention to it by deceiving people with things like organizational missions. Only by using real interests to gather popularity can it develop.
Even the lowest-ranking member will become a squad leader after being promoted two levels, and can receive more money from the organization every month than an ordinary person can earn after working for a year.
Although most of the members were very excited about being promoted to two levels, some team members who thought they knew the truth were shaking their heads and sighing.
The Crystal Rock Snake is a species that appears in the original work, so of course it exists.
But Du Chen doesn't really want to conquer it, he's not a real trainer, he's not even a human being.
If you really want this elf, all you have to do is go to Ponkan Island and find the glass jewelry maker Ah Gong. He and Xiaozhi saw the crystal rock snake with their own eyes.
Du Chen's purpose is to search for the crystal rock snake through command and cover up what he really wants to do next.
And if someone can really capture the Crystal Rock Snake, it means he is a talented person, and we can consider giving him evolution and making him a member of the new organization.
"Sir Apollo, the legend of the Crystal Rock Snake has been around for a long time. I am not in a hurry. Why don't I accompany you to Kumquat Island tonight? There are activities being held there in the past two days. It should be quite lively."
Jingan Island is the most commercially developed island among the Orange Islands, and is even as prosperous as Golden City.
Du Chen glanced at Nan Fu: "You want to say that the Crystal Rock Snake is a gimmick used by the people of Ponkan Island to deceive people, right?"
"Uh..." Nan Fu was directly pointed out by Du Chen and scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Idiot, I can responsibly tell you that the crystal rock snake is real." Du Chen said lightly: "As for whether you can find it, it depends on your ability."
"Yes, yes." Nanfu nodded repeatedly, with a look of shame on his face.
Of course, Du Chen knew that he was just pretending. How could his inherent knowledge of more than ten years be overturned by him in just two sentences, but he was too lazy to say more.
Neither of them saw it, but Garm standing behind had a thoughtful expression on his face.
In less than a moment, except for those who stayed behind at the base, most of the Rockets left the base and sailed toward Ponkan Island.
Now that the task has been assigned, no matter whether it can be caught or not, it must be done as it should be done. You can't pretend that you didn't hear it, so where can you put the commander's face?
This is what most Team Rocket members are thinking.
After going back and forth, soon there were less than twenty people left in the base.
"Sir, shall we go to Jingan Island?" Nanfu asked tentatively.
"Haha, okay." Du Chen turned his head and looked at him with a toothy smile.
"..." For some reason, when Nanfu saw this smile, he felt inexplicably panicked.
