Chapter 235: Shabian City
This idiom didn't just apply to humans; it worked for Pokémon too. After enduring torture at the hands of Team Rocket, these Pokémon held nothing but hostility and distrust toward humans.
Such Pokémon would find it extremely difficult to accept a new trainer in the future.
Cao Fu led Kenji to continue searching for hidden Team Rocket members, while other prosecutors took charge of releasing the Pokémon being used as experimental materials.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner. But the deeper the search went, the clearer and more profound Kenji's understanding of Team Rocket became.
One could only say that Team Rocket's atrocities against Pokémon had reached a level where words failed to describe the horror.
Kenji stood silently before a pile of Pokémon corpses discarded like trash.
Some were missing limbs, others were shriveled and desiccated, and some were covered in a sticky, unidentifiable slime.
But without exception, every single face was frozen in an expression of agony.
Kenji didn't consider himself a saint, but faced with such tragedy, he couldn't help but feel grief.
...
After helping dispose of the remains, the remaining Team Rocket members and researchers were all rooted out thanks to Stoutland's exhaustive search.
Of course, those who resisted violently were executed on the spot.
Meanwhile, all the imprisoned Pokémon were released into the wild.
However, the commotion caused by the raid attracted the attention of local authorities from Myawaddy.
These local officials were in cahoots with Team Rocket—birds of a feather. They immediately tried to pressure Cao Fu and his team.
But since Cao Fu dared to come, he was prepared. He stood his ground, giving the local forces absolutely no face.
Kenji wasn't interested in the negotiations. Even if they flipped the table and started fighting, he didn't care. With Beedrill by his side, he didn't know how to spell the word "fear."
Although Kenji didn't know the specific details of the negotiation, the Myawaddy forces eventually retreated with their tails between their legs.
"Losing this Team Rocket base means the Myawaddy gang just lost their cash cow," Hua Mingyan remarked casually to Kenji.
Kenji didn't care much about the internal affairs of the Myanmar League. He responded politely before changing the subject. "Any findings on Team Rocket's cloning technology research?"
Hua Mingyan shook her head. "No. All experimental data in the base was wiped clean. To learn anything, we'd have to get it out of the researchers' mouths.
But most of these researchers were just mixing counterfeit potions. They know very little about the cloning project."
Her tone was tinged with helplessness.
Kenji hadn't expected to get core technology secrets from these grunts anyway.
In this entire base, only Dr. Fang probably knew the core details.
But Dr. Fang was a lunatic. Expecting to get coherent information out of a madman like him was basically impossible.
Of course, Kenji didn't need the blueprints. He just wanted to gauge how far Team Rocket's cloning tech had progressed.
...
Even if the researchers couldn't answer questions about core technology, indirect questioning could still reveal the general level of their progress.
Currently, the technology was unstable and had many limitations.
The most obvious issues were the high probability of clones being deformed or lacking vital signs.
The tech wasn't mature yet. It seemed the current Mewtwo was indeed just a semi-finished product.
After all, if it were a complete Mewtwo, the Raikou on Black Thunder Mountain wouldn't have been able to escape.
But thinking about it from another angle: a mere semi-finished Mewtwo could already toy with a Champion-level Raikou.
What level of power would it reach once fully completed?
In this world, Kenji couldn't guarantee that Mewtwo would break free from Team Rocket's control like in the anime.
If such a powerful Mewtwo truly fell under Team Rocket's command, it would be a catastrophe.
Prosecutors from the Huaxia border arrived, ready to transport the captured Team Rocket members and researchers. They loaded them into vehicles and drove off.
There was still a lot of follow-up work to be done, but that wasn't Kenji's business anymore. He decided to hitch a ride back to the Southern Cloud border with the convoy.
It was also a way to protect the convoy, just in case the Myawaddy forces or Team Rocket remnants tried to intercept them.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful.
Only when they crossed the border back into Huaxia did everyone finally relax.
"Thank you for your help."
The leading prosecutor shook Kenji's hand and saluted solemnly. After witnessing Kenji's strength, he didn't underestimate him because of his age.
...
Kenji returned to Spring City alone. Hua Mingyan had too many loose ends to tie up and couldn't accompany him.
Having delayed in Spring City for so long already, Kenji headed straight to the airport upon arrival and flew directly to Shabian City in Saibei Province.
Shabian City (Sand-Edge City). As the name suggested, it was a city located on the edge of a desert. It was Kenji's destination.
On the way to the airport, Kenji opened the parchment scroll given to him by the member of the Tyranitar Guardian Clan once again.
