Rainbow City, South City.
This place is mainly used to welcome travelers and tourists. Not only are there many hotels and restaurants, but also several famous game cities.
However, although the citizens of Rainbow City are proud of the city's beauty, they unanimously agree that these casinos seriously damage the image of Rainbow City.
In the largest game city of Rainbow City, a red-haired man dressed in casual clothes seemed to be strolling casually through the game city.
He blended into the crowd like any other tourist, unnoticed by anyone, yet this inconspicuous man appeared to be investigating something amidst the noisy game city.
"Could there be a Rocket Team's secret base here?"
Percy, in disguise, frowned.
This man was none other than the master of the Flying-type and the Dragon-type, Doduo.
Recently, the investigator organization received a report: Rainbow City's game cities are secretly controlled by Rocket Team, and they are also using the games for illegal Pokemon trading, Pokemon smuggling, and conducting illegal experiments on Pokemon like 3D Dragon.
After receiving the report, Percy, who was also an investigator, immediately came to the scene first.
Percy, an upright and highly righteous man, could not tolerate the various actions of Rocket Team.
However, confronting the Rocket Team is indeed a difficult choice.
Even for Percy, the Champion of the League.
From the fact that Rocket Team is a legitimate publicly-listed company, and can operate Pokemon amusement parks and control gyms, one can see the scope of Rocket Team's influence. The majority within the league's upper echelons would not choose to be too confrontational with Rocket Team, after all, Rocket Team also has a close relationship with the Kanto business tycoon, Silph Co.
Compared to the influence of the financial giants like Silph Co. in the Kanto Alliance, they are much more powerful than Percy's Dragon Trainer Lineage.
Nonetheless, Percy still chose to confront Rocket Team to the end.
Thus, the Champion of the League, Percy, also chose the secondary profession of investigator, expressing his own convictions.
If the Shinnoh Champion, Hirona, likes to conduct mythological archaeology outside of her Champion duties, and Hoenn Champion Dahu likes to dig up stones everywhere, then Champion Percy from the League Headquarters sees maintaining world peace as his belief, continuously dismantling illegal organizations all over the place.
However...
This time Percy encountered a problem; he couldn't find any trace of Rocket Team near the nearby game cities at all.
"Is the information incorrect?"
"Or did Rocket Team move their base?"
Percy was full of doubts.
Recently, when the incident involving Rocket Team's research on Mewtwo was exposed, Boss Sakaki of Rocket Team was forced to give up his position as the Pewter Gym Leader, which would be taken over by Elite Four Kikuko.
At the same time, Ice Ticoon Kona decided to retire and return to her hometown, determined to confront the invading Rocket Team in the Seven Islands.
Most of the Elite Four in the League have shown dissatisfaction with Rocket Team, and now, Percy believes it is the best time to dismantle Rocket Team.
Percy eagerly wanted to investigate and find some key evidence, but despite this, the investigation seemed to end in failure yet again.
"Maybe the intelligence really was wrong... Anyway, since I'm rarely in Rainbow City, I might as well go to the department store and buy a few new cloaks. The previous ones got damaged during a mission again."
Percy sighed. These cloaks, they were more fragile than clothes.
However, just as Percy was about to go buy cloaks, suddenly, his Inspection Glasses reacted violently.
The highest level of alarm response made Percy instantly ready for battle; even with his good mental state, a drop of sweat immediately ran down his forehead.
But at the same time, the corners of Percy's mouth also rose slightly.
"I see, so they've hidden the secret base with illusions?"
"Rocket Team has mastered the technology to create this level of illusion... The strength is comparable to the Illusion Technique created by a Champion Level Psychic Type Pokemon, but unfortunately, I have brought the latest Inspection Glasses from the League, which are ten times more effective than the ones produced by Silph Co. Even Champion level illusions can be easily broken."
Percy calmed down, casually putting on the Inspection Glasses, a gadget similar to a pair of glasses, on his head.
[Come on, let me see where exactly Rocket Team's secret base is hidden.]
After putting on the Inspection Glasses, Percy's vision changed completely. In this state, he could see all the Ghosts and easily see through any illusions.
At this point, Percy was convinced that Rocket Team had used some sort of illusion-based hiding device to conceal the entrance to their base.
However.
When he truly put on the Inspection Glasses and started searching for the source of the energy, he quickly became completely stunned, witnessing a scene that utterly defied belief.
The source of the energy response was inside a huge gaming pod.
At this moment, an Eevee was standing on the seat, solemn and serious, using its two paws to control the game controller.
It looked... incredibly cute.
Percy was dumbstruck.
He took off the Inspection Glasses again, and the figure of the Eevee disappeared, replaced by a young man in a red and white casual outfit sitting there manipulating the game controller.
Percy put the Inspection Glasses back on, and the image changed back to Eevee.
"Damn—"
Percy couldn't help but curse internally.
It wasn't an illusion wave concealing Rocket Team's base?
But an Eevee using Superpower to disguise itself as a human to play the games??
Percy's mouth dropped open in astonishment. What in the world was this situation?
Why was Eevee using an Illusion Technique?
But what Percy could not accept was not that an Eevee was playing games here using illusions, but that the strength of the illusion technique used by Eevee at this moment had actually reached the highest level detectable by the Inspection Glasses, which is a Champion Level that only Psychic System Elves with superpower could use.
Percy was at a loss.
Moreover, there were a lot of things that baffled Percy.
For instance, while Eevee was using an illusion technique to disguise itself and playing a game at the same time, the display screen of the game pod in front of it suddenly showed the words "Perfect Clear" the next instant.
Outside the game pod, the huge jackpot amount kept rising, causing continuous exclamations from the surrounding tourists.
"So strong, this person just came for like fifteen minutes, and has already broken two game records. Is he a god?!"
"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand... Holy shit, the previous accumulated jackpot, all won by this dude."
"Next level, next level, come on, big shot, start the next level!"
Exclamations continued to emanate, and at this moment, Percy fell into deep thought.
Zzzzt——
However, before Percy could thoroughly contemplate this behavior, the Inspection Glasses he was carrying suddenly blacked out, as if they had been destroyed by a short circuit inside, losing their original effect.
[Not good! I've been discovered.]
Suddenly attacked, Percy's heart chilled, and he quickly removed the Inspection Glasses.
He then immediately looked towards the direction of the game pod, where the Eevee inside, or rather the teenager that Eevee had transformed into, directly vanished from his sight.
Not only was Percy stunned in place, the surrounding tourists, after a moment of bafflement, also started to look around in confusion.
"Eh... where did that big shot go?"
"I don't know... how could he disappear in the blink of an eye?"
"Did the big shot leave?? I still wanted to learn from his moves."
The surrounding tourists all spoke in bafflement, looking around in search.
At this time, Percy knew full well that he had been discovered and then the Eevee had made its escape.
"Champion Level... Eevee?"
"Playing games?"
Percy muttered to himself, still unable to accept it.
This was just too mind-blowing.
After a long silence, he reluctantly put away his newly exchanged latest model of Inspection Glasses.
This item, very useful for him who mainly trained Dragon Types, was the best tool for seeing through the moves of Psychic Type and Ghost Type Pokemon.
However...
"I hate it."
.........
"Bwoo... Bwoo... Bwoo... Bwoo..." Meanwhile, an Eevee was frantically running along the walls inside the Game City, occasionally looking back to ensure no one was following it.
After confirming nobody was there, Eevee let out a long sigh of relief.
That scared the hell out of me.
Eevee had not expected that its illusion as a 16-year-old Fang Yuan playing games would be seen through by anyone.
Although there were games in Game City that Pokemon could play, the one just now was not included. Playing that game with Pokemon's abilities was considered cheating, which was prohibited in Game City, not to mention a Pokemon operating it personally.
So after being discovered, Eevee panicked and immediately fled.
"Bwoo..." Eevee stopped running and fell into thought. Had it subconsciously destroyed that guy's detector who noticed it?
Probably not.
It seemed like it did.
"Bwoo..." Eevee was conflicted.
Forget it, let's just pretend it didn't happen.
Now, because the encounter just now was too stimulating, Eevee didn't dare to play games covertly anymore and could only wander around. Soon, footsteps came from behind Eevee.
"Gurulu." Eevee swallowed nervously and turned around calmly, looking at Fang Yuan who was smiling.
After challenging Erika, Fang Yuan effortlessly found Eevee in the Game City soon after entering, thanks to the Power of the Heart.
"How was it, I didn't keep you waiting too long, did I?" Fang Yuan smiled.
"I just challenged the Gym with my Venusaur. The battle ended in about five minutes, no, three minutes."
Fang Yuan started to tell Eevee about what had just happened.
What a pity, I never expected the opponent's first Pokemon to be skilled in dance. If it weren't for being in a rush to find Eevee, I would have sent Dragonite to spar.
"And you, have you decided which area to go to for fun yet?"
"Bwoo..."
As soon as Fang Yuan asked, Eevee's calm expression did not last long, and it immediately showed an embarrassed look.
(｡◕ˇ∀ˇ◕）Hehe, it... seemed to have caused some trouble.
