At this moment, Qing Wu was not so relaxed. He was being pursued by a Dragonite. The Dragonite used Hyper Beam as soon as it saw Qing Wu.
"It seems to be the Zhao family's hidden defense force. I was careless." Qing Wu knew that for the Zhao family to have existed for so many years, standing firm, they must have some trump cards.

This move pool was full of Versailles (showing off). Qing Wu looked at this Dragonite, secretly thinking, Troublesome.
Fortunately, this Dragonite didn't know Extreme Speed. Otherwise, no matter how fast he ran, he wouldn't be able to escape Dragonite's grasp.
"Good thing this Dragonite doesn't know Extreme Speed. If it did, I might have just given up." Qing Wu sighed infinitely in his heart. The power of noble families was still much greater than that of commoner trainers. Not only did they have access to Alliance resources, but they could also obtain Pokémon with excellent aptitudes through various means.
"Crobat, dodge Hyper Beam." Qing Wu instantly saw a beam of light shooting straight towards him from behind. Crobat couldn't dodge in time. He watched as the giant blue energy enveloped Qing Wu and Crobat. Then, his figure flashed, disappearing into the air.
At this moment, Dragonite was still searching for Qing Wu's figure. After searching for a while and not finding any trace of Qing Wu, Dragonite flapped its wings and flew back.
Qing Wu appeared near the Pokémon Center.
"That was close, I almost bit the dust." Qing Wu wiped a cold sweat. He had almost been pierced by Hyper Beam, and he was running on fumes, but he never expected to be saved by a Pokémon.
"Is that you, Ralts?" Qing Wu said to Ralts in the Poké Ball. Ralts did not respond to Qing Wu.
"You don't need to say anything; I know. You're the only Pokémon I have that can instantly move." Qing Wu said to Ralts's Poké Ball.
"Thanks, Ralts, thank you for saving my life." Qing Wu directly let Crobat destroy his black robe, then returned to the Pokémon Center's dormitory with Crobat.
It was already three in the morning. After washing up, Qing Wu knew he didn't have time to dry his hair and immediately fell asleep.
Qing Wu slept very soundly on his side, but the Zhao family was restless all night. When Qing Wu woke up the next day, the cold autumn wind had already blown the cold autumn back to its home in front of the Pokémon Center's gate.
Qing Wu very easily completed the check-out procedures at the Pokémon Center, and walked out of the Pokémon Center with swagger. The Zhao family was extremely angry about this ambush. Zhao Yu also forgot about Codola because his beloved oddly-colored Pokémon was stolen.
When Zhao Yu finally remembered, he found that he couldn't find any trace of Han Qiu (cold autumn), and even the bar where Han Qiu often stayed was empty.
The Zhao family's efficiency in handling matters was extremely high. In just one night, Qing Wu, wearing a black robe, had wanted posters plastered all over the streets and alleys, and was considered a key target for wanted posters.
Anyone who discovered Qing Wu's whereabouts would be rewarded with 50,000 Alliance Coins. Anyone who knew Qing Wu's identity would be rewarded with 200,000 Alliance Coins. Facing the Zhao family's high bounty, all the citizens of Goldenrod City were stirred.
Little did they know, the true culprit had already purchased a light rail ticket to Goldenrod City and was quietly waiting in the carriage for departure. Qing Wu only needed to arrive in the Johto region two months later and transmit intelligence on the Johto Alliance to Team Rocket.
Qing Wu was equivalent to an advance scout sent to the Johto Alliance. The ambitious Sakaki had always been eyeing the City Region and Kanto Region. He wanted to use the Super-Dream-Unified City Region and Kanto Region, then launch a full-scale attack on the Johto Region.
Qing Wu knew that Sakaki's plan ultimately failed; his ambition was never realized up until Qing Wu was killed in his previous life. The first reason was that Mewtwo flew away. The second reason was that Sakaki's body was breaking down.
It was also because Sakaki's body was failing that Team Rocket, this extremely massive organization, began to consume itself from within. Qing Wu was also exiled from the Kanto Region due to factional struggles and went to the Johto Region to serve as an undercover agent.
So Sakaki sent Qing Wu to the Johto Region. Qing Wu only needed to continuously provide Sakaki with information on the Johto Alliance's movements and the actions of the Flare Team and Ocean Team. Then Qing Wu would have nothing to worry about. This deal was worth it.
Qing Wu's plan was to go to the underground black market in Goldenrod City, obtain the Life Orb, and then go to Dragon's Den via Sprout Tower. He knew a Dragonite there. However, according to the current timeline, Dragonite might have just been born. Well, it should be a Dratini or a Pokémon Egg now. Qing Wu wasn't very sure. Finally, Qing Wu would return to the Johto region and begin his undercover life as a "lazy fish" (someone feigning laziness or inaction).
However, Qing Wu currently had a more urgent matter, which was to remove the miniature missile on his neck. Only by removing this Sword of Damocles hanging over his head could Qing Wu truly be considered to have escaped the dragon's lair and flown to freedom. For this kind of surgery, Qing Wu needed to find someone in the underground black market to remove this miniature bomb.
The light rail made a clattering sound on the tracks. At this moment, Qing Wu had time to look at the Pokémon in his hand.
Pokémon: Ralts (Odd-colored) (Cyan)
Gender: Female
Level: 13
Attributes: Psychic, Fairy
Ability: Synchronize
Base Moves: Teleport, Confusion, Double Team, Magical Leaf, Healing Pulse.
Hereditary Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Moonlight, Meditate.
Learned Moves: Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, Substitute.
"This Ralts knows a lot of moves; it even knows Meditate." Qing Wu muttered to himself.
This Ralts was stolen by Qing Wu and couldn't see the light of day. But Qing Wu could use hair dye to change Ralts's hair color. Plus, Ralts was extremely rare in the Johto region, so no one would probably care about a Ralts with dyed hair. This time, Qing Wu simply used a black robe and a mask as a disguise when stealing the Pokémon,
with little risk of exposure. Although there were human-skin masks in Team Rocket to change one's appearance, the feeling of a human-skin mask made Qing Wu feel a chill, so Qing Wu would rather wear a black robe and a mask than use a human-skin mask to conceal his tracks.
Having obtained Ralts in advance, Qing Wu also felt immense pressure. After all, training these Pokémon would require a huge amount of resources. For training a Pokémon like Ralts, a treasure called Psychic Pearl was needed. Ralts needed to regularly consume energy blocks made from crushed Psychic Pearls for Ralts's psychic abilities to become extremely powerful.
This Psychic Pearl was cultivated by Pearlite for over a hundred years. Each one cost over a million Alliance Coins, let alone training Ralts into a Gardevoir; that would be a rhythm of burning money and liver.
Just one Ralts would make Qing Wu burn his liver and earn money, not to mention that Qing Wu also had the three starter Pokémon and these expensive Pokémon. The resources required for high-aptitude starter Pokémon were twice that of ordinary starter Pokémon. Especially since Qing Wu was a stickler for perfection, he wanted the best of the best.
