Chapter 677 Guzma
So Yang Ming divided his troops into three groups. He led 300 selected forwards to set off first, Jones followed with 1000 second-line troops, and the remaining people were responsible for staying in the company.
Kahili, who came after hearing the news, wanted to go with them, but was sternly rejected by Yang Ming.
"No, you're the financial backer. How can we send the financial backer to the front lines?"
At this moment, Xiaojuer, who was responsible for sending Aserola to the hospital, also came back. When she heard that they were going to attack the Skull Team, she volunteered to participate.
Yang Ming's scalp suddenly went numb. Ever since what happened in the abandoned supermarket, he didn't dare to bring Xiao Juer with him at all, for fear that something "accident" might happen accidentally, and he would not be able to face Feng Lu again.
But if he left Xiao Juer on Akala Island, Yang Ming worried she would quarrel with Kahili. After much deliberation, Yang Ming decided to choose the lesser of two evils. He asked Xiao Juer to stay and guard the house, while he took Kahili and three hundred elite soldiers to Ula Ula Island.
Before leaving, he made three rules, requiring Kahili to act according to his instructions. Only after obtaining her consent did he set off with everyone.
"Boss, the trio has completed the Magikarp submarine and the Diglett robot as you requested."
After everyone arrived at Ula'la Island, they found that Tokugawa and the Rocket trio had been waiting for a long time. Also waiting with them were the two robots that Yang Ming had asked them to make.
"Very good," Yang Ming nodded with satisfaction, "After this mission is over, I will give you a promotion and a raise."
The trio were overjoyed and expressed their loyalty to Yang Ming until death.
"We will now split into two teams. Tokugawa, you take the mole robots and the centaurs and stand by in the Haina Desert."
"The remaining half of the people, go to Ula Ula Garden and wait. There is a lake there, and we should be able to get there using the Magikarp submarine."
"What about me?" Kahili pointed at herself and asked.
Yang Ming felt a headache. Could he still command the financial sponsor? After thinking about it, he arranged for her to go to Ula Ula Garden.
Yang Ming planned to go north alone to achieve his real goal.
"Boss, I've already spread the news you asked me to spread through the underground black market on Ula'ula Island. Do you think it will really work?"
Facing Tokugawa's question, Yang Ming nodded firmly: "This is information about legendary Pokémon. How could the ambitious people entrenched here miss such a great opportunity?"
"Don't let me down, Lillie, and Gladion..."
Po Town, located in the northernmost part of Ula'ula Island, was once a prosperous town, but the invasion of Team Skull has completely crippled it. Team Skull has made it their base, driving away the staff of the hospital, police station, Pokémon Center, and Friendly Shop. Now, the town is dilapidated, with messy streets, crooked streetlights, broken glass, abandoned cars, and graffiti everywhere.
In the central area of Po Town, there is a building called "Suspicious Mansion". It used to be the mayor's residence, but now it has become the lair of Guzma, the leader of the Skeleton Team.
At this time, Guzma was sitting on a golden chair, looking at the reward he received from Lusamine with great interest.
"A Gigantamax wristband and a Kairos Mega Evolution Stone? That's a pretty generous reward for this mission."
Lillie was tied up and thrown to the ground, tears in her eyes, and she was obviously frightened and at a loss what to do by this horrific scene.
"Don't blame me, little girl. It was your mother who asked me to bring you here," Guzma shrugged. "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you. We'll return you to your mother in a few days."
Hearing that she was going back to that horrible "home" again, the fear in Lillie's eyes grew even stronger. She struggled desperately, trying to break free, shouting in a trembling voice, "I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back to her!"
Guzma frowned impatiently and decided to scare the disobedient girl. Just then, a younger brother walked into the room.
"Boss, the big sister is looking for you."
"I understand," Guzma put away the Mega Evolution Stone and the Gigantamax Band and strode out of the room.
"Please treat this young lady well for me and don't let her get bullied. I have to hand her over to the chairman tomorrow."
Looking at Guzma's disappearing figure, Lillie finally breathed a sigh of relief. As her tense nerves relaxed a little, sleepiness swept over her.
"Xiao Xingyun, where are you? I really want to go home..."
…………
Guzma arrived at the hall, where his deputy, Bullmei, was already waiting. Several Skull Squad members swiftly brought a chair and helpfully helped Guzma onto it.
"Boss, that man named Yang Ming brought 300 refugees from Akala Island and is heading towards us." Burmeili has a hot temper and reported to Guzma directly.
"Yang Ming? Is that the famous 'Yang Paopao'? I've heard of him. He's just a small leader of Team Rocket who occupied a city in Johto. He's nothing to be afraid of." Guzma sneered, not taking Yang Ming seriously at all.
"Boss, don't underestimate him. As far as I know, this guy has faced life-and-death crises many times since his debut, and he has successfully escaped every time."
"The most outrageous incident was when he was being hunted by Bixias, the Rockets' top leader in Johto at the time. He managed to escape from the clutches of this supremely powerful figure, and in the process, he also took out many of Bixias's closest associates. Remember, at that time, Yang Ming was just an elite."
"A mere elite was able to walk a Heavenly King around most of Yuanzhu City like a dog, and even killed a bunch of people of his level in the process. Such a person should never be underestimated. Not to mention that he is now a quasi-Heavenly King. He is definitely not an enemy that can be easily dealt with."
Guzma shrugged, "We only managed to achieve this result in Johto by leveraging local forces. Alola is our territory. I don't believe this Yang Paopao can pull off any more tricks."
"Really? But I heard he escaped from Ether Paradise two months ago, and even Lusamine, the chairman of the Ether Foundation, couldn't keep him."
Guzma's expression turned serious. He knew Lusamine's abilities. Even without considering her strength, the charm of Lusamine as a mature woman was enough to make most men fall into her tenderness and unable to extricate themselves.
"This Yang Paopao was able to escape from the chairman's gentle embrace unscathed. He's quite capable. It seems I underestimated him before. He's worthy of being someone that Mr. Hala values."
Just then, a member of the Skeleton Team suddenly ran in in a panic.
"Boss, something terrible has happened! We are surrounded!"
