The Chapter get Retranslated
The evolution process lasted for two full hours. Spinarak successfully shed its old body and evolved into Ariados.
Houndour grew two large horns and a demon-like spiked tail, looking imposing as it gazed at Ailena.
The aptitude of these two Pokémon was ultimately deep green, but they had reached the peak of deep green, and a faint trace of azure could be seen.
It was estimated that if they continued to eat Qingwu's Pokéblocks for a while, their aptitude might turn light azure.
After seeing Raimei and Ailena's Pokémon finish evolving, Qingwu packed his luggage, ready to leave the Team Rocket Trial Island Base under the cover of night to capture high-quality Pokémon recorded on the Trial Island map.
"I need to go out. You two stay in the Trial Island Base. It's too dangerous outside, and you can train your Pokémon with the help of the trainers in the training ground," Qingwu said to the two happy individuals after packing his things.
"Leader, it's too dangerous outside right now. If Lan Ling and Kuraki's teams find out, they will try everything to kill you in the wild. There are only three days left until the third gathering," Ailena couldn't help but advise Qingwu.
Qingwu, of course, knew it was dangerous now, but he was confident he could evade any attacks.
The main point was that not just anyone could enter Trial Island. Many Team Rocket members, after leaving Trial Island, never returned in their lifetime.
There were a few reasons for this. Firstly, Team Rocket's rules were strict; members were not allowed to return to Trial Island without orders, and only elite Team Rocket members were exempt from this restriction.
Secondly, Team Rocket members were busy with missions and simply had no time to return to Trial Island.
Thirdly, the memories of Trial Island left a deep impression on the trial participants, who would avoid it if they could, so why would they return to relive those memories?
"That's right, Leader. We might as well wait until the third gathering; there are only a few days left," Raimei also advised.
"My decision is final, no need to persuade me further," Qingwu put on his black robe, covering his entire body.
"This room will be for you two. I'll be taking my leave," Qingwu left the room under the cover of night.
Sō and Kyū watched Qingwu's hurried departure from the shadows. When they had warned Qingwu not to leave the Trial Island Base, their sharp eyes noticed his shifty gaze, and they knew the kid hadn't listened. Sure enough, when they came out, they saw Qingwu's retreating figure.
"As expected, this kid couldn't sit still. Sō, should I send a Pokémon to watch him?" Kyū mumbled. Sō's Pokémon was still asleep after taking the antidote.
"No, we cannot break the Leader's rules." Sō knew that he could give Qingwu a Pokémon only because Boss Sakaki took his past poisoning into account, and that Deino used to be Sō's Pokémon.
Sō giving his Pokémon to Qingwu was not a violation. It was fortunate that Qingwu chose Deino, otherwise, it would have been difficult to account for.
But if Kyū's Pokémon were to help Qingwu, it would greatly cross Sakaki's bottom line.
"Within Team Rocket, we must strictly adhere to Team Rocket's rules. We cannot set an example of breaking them. If this kid doesn't come back, it means he wasn't destined to be with me. I'll just avenge him and repay the favor," Sō suddenly seemed to age significantly.
On the square of the Trial Island Base.
"Leader, the person you instructed to monitor just left the base in a hurry," a trial participant said to Lan Ling, who was reading a book.
"Oh? That's strange. There are only three days left until the third gathering. What is he doing running out now? Find a way to track him, figure out his whereabouts, and if possible, kill him," Lan Ling did not want to personally confront Qingwu and make an enemy of him.
After all, Lan Ling was not entirely confident when facing a strong opponent like Qingwu.
"Find a way to relay the message to Kuraki's team and have Kuraki's team hunt Qingwu," Lan Ling thought of this strategy of using someone else to kill.
"Yes, Leader," the trial participant under Lan Ling hurriedly left, preparing to act on Qingwu according to Lan Ling's orders.
Just then, a black-robed figure stealthily arrived at a corner outside the Trial Island Base and summoned a Pidgeotto with a Poké Ball.
Pidgeotto came out and comfortably stretched its wings. There was a bamboo tube tied to Pidgeotto's leg.
"Pidgeotto, please, deliver this message," the black-robed figure slipped a small note into the bamboo tube on Pidgeotto's leg and sealed it with a cork.
Pidgeotto gave a reassuring look and flapped its wings, disappearing into the vast night. The black-robed figure also hurriedly returned to the Team Rocket Trial Island Base, vanishing in an instant.
On the outskirts of a certain forest on Trial Island, many Mankey corpses lay on the ground. Each Mankey corpse had two needle-like puncture wounds, and their faces were ashen purple, indicating they had been poisoned.
At this time, the trial participant team was cooking over a bonfire.
A giant Arbok and a giant Seviper lay on the ground. A pale-faced, snake-eyed youth was enjoying the cool, smooth sensation of the Arbok and Seviper's scales against his skin.
Another fat man was currently in the forest, commanding a newly evolved Arbok to train. The Arbok shot a mouth full of poison needles directly at a tree, filling its trunk with dense holes, corroding the tree until it was riddled with them.
The fat man was much thinner than before, but his eyes were more sinister, and twisted hatred fueled his will to live.
"Qingwu, Raimei, I will definitely tear you both to shreds! You never expected that I would find a secret manual from a former trial participant on how to train Arbok. By cultivating according to the manual, my Ekans was able to evolve into an Arbok in such a short time."
Just then, a black shadow flapped its wings and descended from the sky, landing near the blond kid who was directing his subordinates to cook. The blond kid was startled. He looked closely and realized it was Pidgeotto, their spy planted in Lan Ling's team, specifically used to send messages.
The blond kid trial participant took out the note from the bamboo tube. After reading it, the blond kid quickly ran to Kuraki and said.
"Leader, I received a secret letter. Qingwu left the Trial Island Base in a hurry half an hour ago and is now missing. Should we find Qingwu and finish him off?" The blond kid made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Finish him off? I'd rather finish you off! Lan Ling didn't dare to do it herself. The meaning of her sending this message is to use me as a tool to kill him, while she watches from the sidelines. That woman doesn't even have the courage to deal with Qingwu, so why should I?" Kuraki opened his eyes, a look of disdain on his face.
"Indeed, it's a petty tactic, just like her. However," Kuraki's tone shifted.
"I'm curious about what Qingwu is up to. Let's send a few people to track Qingwu, but don't alert him." Kuraki stroked the scales of Arbok and Seviper, enjoying himself immensely.
